"So, according to you, it's only right that you eat what I eat and use what I use?" Fu Wenwen truly laughed.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked at Fu Wenwen. Wasn't it supposed to be like that?
She had so much money, endless good things, what was wrong with giving her a little! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
She was helping her! Otherwise, it would be such a waste if the things were all spoiled.
"Su Zhiqing, how can you be so shameless?" Xiao Hong and her friends, carrying washed vegetables home from the river, happened to overhear Su Xiaoxiao's words. The young wives were all stunned, never having seen such a shameless person.
It was a shame Su Xiaoxiao acted like a good person in front of others, only to have such thoughts in her heart.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so brazen and shameless, using other people's money and acting so self-righteously," a friend of Xiao Hong's couldn't help but say.
"You don't look bad, so why is your heart so dark? You're thicker-skinned than the village deadbeats!" another young wife chimed in.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly heard voices behind her. Startled, she turned to see the disgusted eyes of Xiao Hong and the others. Su Xiaoxiao stiffened, her face paling.
She had calculated the timing, knowing no one would be around, and had waited for Fu Wenwen specifically.
She never expected these young wives to overhear.
"It's not like that, I didn't mean it that way," Su Xiaoxiao said, waving her hands in panic.
"If you didn't mean it that way, what did you mean? You better explain it clearly today! I've treated you as a good friend since childhood, I've always shared my things with you, and never treated you unfairly. Yet you think my things are yours? Su Xiaoxiao, when did you become so terrifying?" Fu Wenwen said angrily.
Xiao Hong and the others came to Fu Wenwen's side, glaring at Su Xiaoxiao while comforting Fu Wenwen. "Fu Zhiqing, you've raised a white-eyed wolf! You raised her only to have enmity. You always indulged her, giving her everything, and now she's become greedier and greedier. Now that you're not giving her things anymore, of course, she resents you."
"Exactly, you should just cut ties with her. What kind of person is she! I've never seen anyone so shameless. This Su Zhiqing has truly opened my eyes."
"I'm not, I didn't, you're all talking nonsense! You're all ganging up on me with Fu Wenwen!" Su Xiaoxiao covered her ears and cried.
"What's going on here? What happened?" Su Xiaoxiao's sharp cries attracted nearby people. Villagers and educated youths gathered around. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao crying uncontrollably, while Fu Wenwen and Xiao Hong's group looked at her with indignation.
"Fu Wenwen, you're bullying Su Xiaoxiao again!" Liu Zihua, seeing that it was Su Xiaoxiao crying, immediately led a few educated youths to shield Su Xiaoxiao and pointed at Fu Wenwen, accusing her, assuming it was Fu Wenwen's fault without even asking.
"What does it have to do with me? How did I bully her? Every time she cries, you all think I bullied her. Then tell me, what did I do to her!" Fu Wenwen said coldly. In the original body's memories, whenever Su Xiaoxiao cried, Liu Zihua would always think that the original body had bullied Su Xiaoxiao.
In reality, Fu Wenwen had never done anything. She merely wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao for back the things she had borrowed, but each time, Su Xiaoxiao would cry, and then someone would step in for her.
"Su Xiaoxiao, everyone is here today, tell us, did Fu Wenwen bully you again!" Liu Zihua turned to ask Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao shook her head but cried even harder.
"Don't cry, tell us! We'll be your justice today!" Liu Zihua said to Su Xiaoxiao, encouraging her to speak.
But Liu Zihua's words did not bring Su Xiaoxiao gratitude. Instead, she wished she could shut his mouth. She didn't dare to speak, nor could she.
Crying as if she had suffered the greatest injustice, Liu Zihua immediately assumed Fu Wenwen had threatened her. "Did Fu Wenwen threaten you! Fu Wenwen, you tell us, what exactly did you do to Su Xiaoxiao to make her so upset."
Xiao Hong was about to speak, but Fu Wenwen stopped her and slowly stepped forward. "You all know that I broke off relations with her yesterday, right? I simply asked her to return the things she borrowed from me before. Was I wrong? I just want to get my own things back."
"Then why is she so upset!" Liu Zihua clearly didn't believe Fu Wenwen's account.
Xiao Hong could no longer hold back, she rushed forward and pointed at Liu Zihua, shouting angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Why is she so upset, I'll tell you why. She eats Fu Zhiqing's food, uses Fu Zhiqing's things, she treats Fu Zhiqing's belongings as her own, taking and using them as she pleases. Now Fu Zhiqing isn't indulging her anymore and wants her things back, of course, she's crying!"
Hearing Xiao Hong's words, Liu Zihua was stunned. The other villagers, however, were shocked.
"My heavens! What kind of person is this Su Zhiqing! She's actually leeching off Fu Zhiqing. Even blood siblings wouldn't go this far."
"Shameless! Whose daughter is she, to be so without a conscience!"
"She dared to lie to Fu Zhiqing's parents, saying Fu Zhiqing was sick and needed money, but she secretly took it for herself. That tells you she's no good person!"
"Fu Zhiqing is right to break off contact with her! Someone like that is too scary."
"..."
Su Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground, hugging her head, shaking it helplessly. "It's not like that, it's not, I didn't, I didn't..."
Facing the accusations of everyone, Su Xiaoxiao broke down crying, "It's not like that, I didn't, I... I only borrowed, I've already returned it to her!"
"Then please return the things too. Do you need a list? I can write one for you. You said your parents didn't send you money, so you borrowed my quilt, borrowed my clothes, dried your face and borrowed my cold cream, borrowed my gloves for work, and at night you borrowed my basin to soak your feet. You needed to write letters to your family, so you borrowed my pen..." Fu Wenwen listed them one by one. Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, wiping away tears, not daring to respond.
The villagers, however, were shocked by the things Fu Wenwen listed. These items were not cheap. Just the cold cream, that thing sold for three yuan! And it required a ration ticket!
"Today, I'll ask you one question: are these things mine?" Fu Wenwen stared at Su Xiaoxiao and asked in front of everyone.
"...They are yours." Su Xiaoxiao dared not lie. These things all belonged to Fu Wenwen.
Liu Zihua looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then at Fu Wenwen. One looked pitiful and helpless, the other aggressive. Liu Zihua stepped in front of Su Xiaoxiao. "It's just your things, isn't it? Just take them back, why be so aggressive? Fu Wenwen, you weren't like this before! How have you become like this now!"
Liu Zihua's words made Fu Wenwen unable to hold back any longer. She stepped forward and slapped him hard.
"Fu Wenwen, why are you hitting me, what madness is this!" Liu Zihua grabbed Fu Wenwen's hand and gritted his teeth.
