Chapter 534: Finding a Substitute for Her Daughter
Mengyu couldn’t help but laugh when Bai Renfeng mentioned Wang Jinbu, and she looked at the man collapsed on the bench.
“I remember, ever since Huilan stepped into this household, you picked up a broom and started beating her with it. I stopped you from using violence, and then you ordered Huilan’s father: ‘Wang Jinbu, why aren’t you coming over here to beat this girl to death, the one who killed Ah Mei.'”
At that time, Huilan’s dad came out from the inner room, holding a stick, and went straight for Wang Huilan, beating her while cursing: ‘I’ll beat you to death, you daughter who killed your sister!'”
As Mengyu said this, she picked up the broken stick from the ground: “Look at this wooden stick.
At that time, Huilan’s dad really put strength into it, as the wind whistled when he swung it at Huilan, showing just how much power he used.
If I hadn’t pulled Huilan away, that single swing would have killed Huilan for sure.
But after pulling Huilan away, the stick in his hand didn’t hit her, it struck where Huilan had been standing.
Just a ‘crack,’ and that sturdy stick actually snapped in two.
Seeing the stick was broken, Huilan’s dad simply threw it aside, and started pounding Wang Huilan with his fists, still with the sound of wind, which showed his great effort.
Huilan felt the killing aura from her father, who, after hearing that woman’s words, was truly trying to kill her! Therefore, she was so saddened she forgot to dodge, just standing there, allowing her dad’s fists to strike her.
I couldn’t bear to see Huilan beaten to death by her father, so I reached out and chopped the back of Wang Huilan’s dad’s neck, knocking him out.”
As Mengyu spoke, she looked at Bai Renfeng with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “Then, you shouted that Huilan brought someone to murder her father, calling everyone over.”
“If Wang Jinbu hadn’t fainted, he would have been ordered by this woman to personally beat his own daughter to death by now. Everyone, tell me, was I right or wrong to knock out Wang Jinbu with a hand chop?”
The people, having heard Mengyu’s explanation, began to condemn Bai Renfeng:
“How can you be so malicious, woman?”
“Indeed, how could you let a child’s father beat his own daughter to death?”
“You want someone else’s daughter to suffer just because your own daughter died, don’t you?”
“She’s truly a woman with a malicious heart.”
“Hey, do you know how she came to our Shangyao Village?”
“I heard she was brought back by Wang Jinbu from a trip to the mountains.”
“They are not legally married and haven’t held a wedding banquet, so they’re not really husband and wife, are they?”
“Yeah, they’re not spouses, yet she wants to be the master of the household.”
“It’s bad enough to act as the head of the household, but you shouldn’t hurt someone else’s daughter. Who treats people like servants and has someone else’s daughter wash their own daughter’s feet?”
Bai Renfeng’s face turned both red and white as she listened to the accusations and gossip of the villagers.
Suddenly, Mengyu’s voice echoed in her heart: “You and Wang Jinbu have never really been involved with each other, have you? You came to the Wang Family merely to have a pair of servants to wait on you and your daughter. Or, more precisely, you intended to exchange Huilan’s fate for your daughter’s.”
Bai Renfeng was shocked: Was this telepathy?
Without significant power, one could not possibly master the skill of telepathy. She knew that she had met her match today.
Indeed, she and Wang Jinbu were far from being husband and wife. They had never shared a bed.
Her entry into the Wang Family was not to be Wang Jinbu’s wife, nor to serve him and his daughter, but rather to have the Wang father and daughter serve her and her daughter, as their servants.
What she wanted to be wasn’t Wang Jinbu’s wife or Wang Huilan’s stepmother but their master.
Everything about her life was attended to by Wang Jinbu, while Wang Huilan was a servant she had assigned to her daughter.
But to find a servant for her daughter wasn’t her ultimate goal; her ultimate aim was to find a substitute to exchange lives for her daughter.
