Chapter 126: A Benefactor Like a Mountain
There stood a woman in front of the Chen family’s main entrance.
At first glance, she appeared to be in her forties, but she was just past thirty. She had tanned skin and wrinkles had begun to appear on her face.
The women in the village, exposed to the elements, had rough skin that made them look older than their actual age.
Wang Cuihua still looked charming, partly because of her natural beauty, and partly because she spent most of her time indoors, telling fortunes, away from the sun’s harsh rays.
After pondering for a bit, Suizi recognized the woman as Yang Hong, whose husband Wang Dazhuang was the one gallivanting around with Lun Lamei.
Lamei had a severe hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital. She never returned, presumably having been taken by her mother to another place to avoid the scandal.
Suizi wasn’t one to gossip or go out much, but even sitting at home, she could hear the townsfolk talking about it when they came to see her mother-in-law.
The tales of Lun Lamei were the talk of the village, with colorful details added to each telling.
Tales such as Wang Dazhuang tearing down willows, and Lun Lamei’s blood staining two miles of the ground.
Some details were so scandalous that even the children had to cover their ears.
At first, Suizi thought that Yu Jingting was the one spreading the gossip, but he scoffed at the suggestion.
