Chapter 69

Caught Red-Handed

A Qin asked calmly, "Do you really think the villagers will believe that?"

"I don’t care! If you don’t agree, I’ll beat you to death!" The once tender and affectionate man now looked vicious and terrifying, making A Qin's skin crawl.

So this was the true face of the man she'd been sleeping with—she had never seen it before.

But she wasn't about to take this lying down!

Thinking about how this man had dragged her father and relatives into trouble, A Qin wished she could kill A Lin. There was no way she would let him walk away with just a divorce.

...

Gossip didn't interest Lin Nannan. Right now, all she wanted was to tear down that damn doorstep.

"If we do that, the gap under the door will be too big," Lu Fang frowned.

"Then we’ll just replace the door. It’s not a big deal!" Zhang Xiaofeng had her daughter-in-law's back, especially since the doorstep was genuinely inconvenient.

If the wheelchair was by the bed, she and Lu Fang could get A Hang into it together. But if the wheelchair was outside, it would be a different story—they weren't strong like Nan Nan to lift him effortlessly.

Lin Nannan’s temperament made many people wary, so these days, the Lu family lived peacefully. Even when Lin Nannan went to the fields alone, no one dared to approach her or cause trouble. Even the Lins avoided her like the plague.

One day, as Lin Nannan pushed Lu Hang out of the house, they saw the village chief’s wife bustling over excitedly—clearly here to share some gossip.

Mao Chunhua was used to seeing Lu Hang in a wheelchair. At first, she had been equal parts shocked and relieved, thinking it was better than him lying in bed needing constant care.

"Chunhua," Grandma Lu greeted her, "have some mung bean soup."

"Sure!" Mao Chunhua smiled and sat down without hesitation. After taking a sip, she leaned in conspiratorially. "You won't believe what happened—you all don’t know yet, do you?"

The Lu family, who had been about to eat, looked at her curiously, waiting for her to continue.

Unable to hold back under their gazes, Mao Chunhua blurted out, "That A Lin and A Tao—A Qin caught them in bed together! Both of them were butt naked, exposed for the whole village to see!"

The Lu family’s eyes widened in shock. Even the usually composed Lu Hang looked stunned, clearly finding it hard to believe.

"He really had balls!" Lin Nannan muttered, placing a bite of food into Lu Hang’s bowl...

Lu Hang glanced at the food in his bowl without batting an eye—he was already used to it.

"It’s downright stupid!" Lu Fang scoffed after taking a sip of soup.

Thinking that since Zhang Wenming had been arrested and A Qin was no longer useful, A Lin must have thought he could do whatever he wanted.

He didn’t realize that when a woman strikes back, she can be even fiercer and more terrifying!

Zhang Wenming’s downfall could be blamed on A Lin, and yet A Lin had kicked him while he was down. Wasn't that just pushing A Qin to hate him even more?

"Hah! Stupid? He’s just arrogant. With Zhang Wenming gone, he thought no one could control him anymore, so he completely disregarded A Qin and didn't even try to hide his cheating," Zhang Xiaofeng said coldly.

"Exactly. And A Qin played it smart—pretending everything was fine, only to catch them red-handed. Now, those two are in deep trouble now," Pan Xiaoping added with some satisfaction.

Lin Nannan ate while listening to the gossip, thinking A Qin’s decisive move was quite impressive.

If she couldn’t have peace, neither would A Lin. And A Tao wasn’t innocent either—might as well drag them all down with her.

The group discussed the incident with mixed reactions, but most just felt disgusted.
