Fu Zhonghua nodded, “That’s right!”
Yang Guang kept his gaze fixed on him. “So, what do you want to do about it?”
“Either you pay up for ruining my reputation in this village, or I divorce her!” Fu Zhonghua exclaimed.
“I see!” Yang Guang retorted with a sneer. “It’s crystal clear now that you are with someone else, and you are just looking for an excuse for your return, specifically to get rid of your wife!”
It was impossible for Yang Guang to give him any money. If Yang Guang did, it would amount to acknowledging that there was something unseemly between him and He Hua, and that they admitted to the false accusation.
Fu Zhonghua also understood this, so what he really wanted, was his second option: a divorce!
Now that he had been exposed, he no longer bothered to keep up with the pretense. He said stubbornly, “What’s wrong with that? I can’t be with a woman who has such a nasty reputation!”
“You are asking for it!”
Yang Guang was so enraged by what he said that he felt the impulse to act violently again.
But Xu Ling stopped him. Then, she directed her attention to Fu Zhonghua. “Divorce is not something that can be decided by you alone. As to whether He Hua has done anything wrong, if there is no evidence backing your accusation, whatever you said cannot be considered credible!”
“and who the h*ll are you?”
Fu Zhonghua assessed her as he looked her up and down and asked with a sideway glance.
“I’m Xu Ling, the secretary of Qingshan Village.”
After identifying herself, Xu Ling looked at Fu Zhonghua sternly. “You were beating your wife up in front of everyone, so now you are a suspect of domestic violence. After I give a call to Mr. Hu, we will have to deal with this matter first!”
“…”
Fu Zhonghua was taken by surprise. He knew that he was in the wrong, and if the police came, he had to face the consequences.
After a few moments, he quickly released the hand that was holding He Hua hostage. He said, “I didn’t hit her. We were fighting, and she hurt herself!”
Yang Guang snickered. “Do you think that He Hua can’t speak for herself?”
He turned his head to looked at her. “He Hua, when the police get here, tell them the truth!”
Unexpectedly, He Hua did not make a sound, and there was no expression on her face. Her eyes were blank, as if she had lost her consciousness.
This surprised Yang Guang, but he reasoned that it might have been caused by stress. He quickly grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse.
Her blood circulation and heartbeat were shockingly weak!
Upon understanding her condition, Yang Guang couldn’t care much about anything else, and used the energy in his body to help her blood flow.
After a while, He Hua finally came to, and began to cry out loud.
If it weren’t for Yang Guang’s alertness, the prolonged stagnation of her blood circulation could have easily led to both physical and mental damage. It was possible that she would have suffered a mental condition.
Now that she was able to cry out, it was an indication that she would be all right!
Yang Guang handed He Hua to Xu Ling, then turned his attention to Fu Zhonghua. “You! You know best if you have done anything wrong while you were away. Coming back to find faults with He Hua was nothing more than you trying to get rid of her. As long as I’m around, you won’t succeed!”
“I’m not going to bother arguing with you!” Seeing how furious Yang Guang was, Fu Zhonghua instantly withdrew. He rolled his eyes and tried to get away. “I have things to do in the city. I am not going to waste my time here with the likes of you!”
With that, he got on the motorcycle and rode out of the village in a hurry.
By now, many onlookers had gathered around them. Most of them had seen what had happened and realized what was going on. They talked amongst themselves, and their sympathies were with He Hua.
Just then, Sun Guoying made his way through the crowd. As he came to the courtyard, he shouted, “Who did this to my son?!”
“It was me!”
Yang Guang replied readily, and made his way towards him. “You piece of trash, you are so evil that you actually incited your fool of a son to slander me!”
“You… what do you want?” Sun Guoying was frightened by his approach, and took a couple of steps back.
“I’m going give you have a taste of my fist!” Yang Guang raised his head and gritted his teeth as he spat out his intentions.
“Stop!” Xu Ling called out to him and walked over with He Hua.
She threw Yang Guang a harsh glance before turning to look at Sun Guoying. “Mr. Sun, your son doesn’t know any better, and you should have disciplined him better as his father. He shouldn’t be allowed to around the village spouting nonsense; do you know that this is a criminal act?!”
Against Xu Ling who was full of righteousness, Sun Guoying gave a dry laugh. “I can’t control what this kid says!”
“If you can’t control him, he should be sent to a mental institution to be treated by professionals!” Xu Ling said.
“No way!” Sun Guoying immediately backed down when at her proposition. He said hurriedly, “I have no money for that, I’ll just have to keep a closer eye on him!”
With that, he turned and yelled to Sun Dawei. “Hurry and get down here! We’re going home!”
Sun Dawei was afraid of heights. In the end, everyone had to come forward to help him climb down the haystack.
The father and son walked away with their tails between their legs, and the onlookers dispersed as well.
Yang Guang felt sorry for He Hua when he noticed that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. He presented a request to Xu Ling, “Please help her?”
Xu Ling nodded. “I understand. You should head back first.”
When he returned, Yang Guang recounted everything that happened, but the unpleasantness he felt could not be soothed.
Xiaolian trembled with rage as well, and cursed Fu Zhonghua for being an ungrateful beast!
Later in the day, she took Yaya to visit He Hua.
It was dark by the time she came back with Xu Ling.
Yang Guang was relieved to hear that He Hua was alright.
“Yang Guang, go to the clinic after you are done with dinner, and get some medicine for He Hua!” Xiaolian instructed.
“Yes, I will.” Yang Guang nodded in agreement.
After dinner, everyone at the west end of the village were chatting under the shade of the tree as usual. Yang Guang left for the clinic.
Just as he was looking for medicine for He Hua’s injuries, the doorbell rang.
As he turned around, he saw that it was He Hua, and Yang Guang was a little surprised.
The red marks on her face were gone, her hair was tidied up, and she had changed into a new set of clean clothing.
Seeing that she looked as if nothing had happened, Yang Guang smiled and asked, “He Hua, why are you here? I was going to bring the medicine to you soon!”
“It’s fine, I can get it myself.”
With that said, He Hua turned around and closed the door.
Yang Guang was a little surprised by her action, an his heart began to beat faster.
As He Hua came toward him, he swallowed nervously. “Um, He Hua, what are doing?”
“Yang Guang, do you think I’m pretty?” He Hua looked into his eyes and asked softly.
“Pretty? Of course you’re pretty!” Yang Guang nodded.
He Hua’s face was a little flushed as she lowered her head and stared at her shoes. She continued with her question, “Then, would you dislike me and think that I am a bad woman?”
“Why would I?” Yang Guang quickly shook his head, “I would never think of you that way!”
“Oh.” He Hua pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked into his eyes. “But you are wrong. I am a bad woman!”
“What?” Yang Guang was dumbfounded by her words and was at a loss as to what was going on.
He Hua was now right in front of him, and there was no more than a few inches between them. He could even smell the faint fragrance that emitted from her body.
He gulped.
Yang Guang’s mind was a total blank.
They looked at each other for a moment longer, and as the corners of He Hua’s mouth turned up slightly, she plunged into his arms.
Yang Guang’s body shuddered with electricity.
The body in his arms was soft and alluring, and she, too, was trembling slightly, indicating that she was a little nervous.
He held onto He Hua without thinking. Yang Guang swallowed hard and asked, “He Hua, what’s the meaning of this?”
“You have been so good to me, so I want to thank you!”
