Reborn in 1974, crying with red eyes while hugging her rough husband

She was the only one left in their family, and she was a weak woman, so everyone would treat her well for various reasons.

But her calculations were wrong. She was too greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to lower Shen Zhizhu's image in front of everyone, so she said something that was full of loopholes.

"Cousin, your family has plotted against me so many times. Shen Xiaojie even wanted to kill me and your brother-in-law in the middle of the night. In the past, you helped them come up with ideas and caused me so much trouble. I put aside my grudges and called the police to save you from the fire pit. You actually think of me like this."

Shen Ai Qiu was not the only one who could act pitiful. Shen Zhizhu turned around and hid in Xu Haonan's arms, looking like she was heartbroken.

Aunt Li can now tell when Shen Zhizhu is pretending and when he is truly sad.

She recognized at a glance that Shen Zhizhu's sadness was fake.

"Xiao Qiu, we were chatting in the yard at the time. When she heard that you were married, she felt something was wrong and asked us to tell her about it. After a few simple sentences, Xiao Zhu guessed that you must not have been willing and hurriedly called the police. That's how they rescued you so quickly. Why are you not grateful, but also... Hey."

Mrs. Wang is so smart. She just continued speaking along the lines of what Aunt Li said.

"I think Xiao Zhu's kindness was taken for granted. She deserved to be slapped by widower Wang. If she had known that the person she rescued was of such a character, why would she have rushed to call the police?"

They all sang the same tune, not giving Shen Ai Qiu any chance to argue. Shen Ai Qiu was so angry that her face turned red all the way to her neck.

Shen Ai Qiu could see that they were ganging up on her. Even though she could see it clearly and didn't believe what they said, others did.

"How could this be? I thought Shen Aiqiu was so pitiful after what she had gone through. Now it seems that my kindness is unnecessary. I hope I won't be suspected of having ulterior motives."

"I think what you said makes sense. Li Chunlan, Shen Jianjun, and Shen Xiaojie are all bad people, rotten to the core. Shen Aiqiu is not necessarily any better."

Officer Pei's words were even more stern.

"Comrade Shen Aiqiu, Comrade Shen Zhizhu went to the police in person and told them about your experience. She urged us to hurry up, fearing that if we went too late, you would be hurt even more. You really shouldn't blame her so much."

Shen Zhizhu was confused. When had he ever urged them? When had he ever told them or shown his anxiety, fearing that Shen Aiqiu would suffer greater harm?

What she didn't know was that when Officer Pei saw Shen Zhizhu coming to report the case alone, with sweat on his forehead in the cold weather, and following them to widower Wang's home, he assumed that Shen Zhizhu was worried about him.

Taking off his clothes and putting them on Shen Aiqiu to cover her body was also a sign of care. He was afraid that Shen Aiqiu would catch a cold on the way back or that others would see her torn clothes, and he was worried that she would not be able to bear the same looks from others.

It can be said that it is a beautiful imagination and misunderstanding.

Shen Ai Qiu was so angry. Why did she bother to offend Shen Zhizhu at this critical moment? She was really thinking of the person she hated the most, who saw her most embarrassing side.

I felt defeated in my heart, and I couldn't wait for the other party to end up like me. At least, he wouldn't be so high and mighty.

"I'm sorry, I said something I shouldn't have said. I was so angry today that I lost my mind. Please don't take it personally, cousin."

Shen Ai Qiu had to apologize.

Shen Zhizhu got up from Xu Haonan's arms. She didn't know when tears started flowing from her eyes. She looked really sad.

Only Xu Haonan knew that Shen Zhizhu had just been gurgling in his arms, with some saliva on his face to pretend to be tear marks.

"It's okay. Anyway, there's already a deep grudge between you and me. I don't care what you think of me. But no matter who the other party is, I will call the police."

What Officer Pei admired most was Shen Zhizhu's attitude.

"Okay, now that you've changed your clothes, don't waste time here. Come back with us and finish this. I heard it's going to snow heavily tonight. If you finish quickly, you can come back sooner."

After they left, the crowd became lively again. They surrounded Shen Zhizhu and others, and were curious about what Shen Zhizhu had seen in Wang the Widow's house.

"Xiao Zhu, tell us what happened to you at Wang the Widow's house. From what you just said, the thing she was wearing was tied up. Is it yours? What happened?"

"When you came back just now, I saw that Shen Aiqiu had cracks on her wrist. Combined with what you just said, wow, I didn't expect that Wang the Widower, at his age, would be so extravagant. Is his body strong enough to handle it?"

These words caused many people to laugh.

Although Shen Zhizhu hated Shen Aiqiu, he didn't want to use such means to belittle her or use that incident to mock her.

"Well, what could it be? Shen Aiqiu woke up and made a lot of noise, so Widow Wang slapped her twice. In order to prevent her from running away, he tied her up."

Everyone found this answer boring.

"that's it?"

Shen Zhizhu nodded.

"That's all I know. For the rest, just wait for the police to announce the results of the interrogation. I have something else to do later, so I won't chat with you uncles and aunts here any longer."

Then he took Xu Haonan and left, and Aunt Li and Sister Wang also followed.

"Why is Xiaozhu still hiding this? Her whole family has treated her like this, and they are still speaking up for her."

They are not fools and can guess roughly, but Shen Zhizhu must know it best. If she doesn't want to say it, they can only guess it on their own.

Some aunts even grabbed their husbands' ears.

"What kind of erotic story do you want to hear? Xiaozhu is kind-hearted and doesn't want to talk about things that even women don't want to mention. Why are you still asking?"

The other aunt looked at Shen Zhizhu's departing back and also sighed.

"What a good kid, she helped call the police to save people without holding a grudge. Even though Shen Aiqiu suspected her motives, she didn't bear a grudge and told everyone about her experience as a joke."

"Alright, alright, let's all go. This is still their yard. Let's wait and see what the police say tonight. If it snows, put away the things that are drying outside."

They went back one by one.

Here, Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Wang were not the kind of people who liked to ask too many questions. Knowing that Shen Zhizhu didn't want to say anything, they didn't take advantage of their close relationship with him to ask.

However, I can always guess what's going on.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you come to my house to eat?"

Aunt Li warmly invited Sister Wang and Shen Zhizhu's family, but they were all rejected.

"I have to go to my friend's house. I saw her leave early. She is usually not very courageous. I am afraid of scaring her, so I plan to go over and take a look."

"I plan to go to the city to have a hot pot meal. I'm craving that flavor, and I'll stop by Sister Chunli's place."
