Chapter 297: No One is Saint (2)
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to be as broad-minded as my sister-in-law." Wu Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Xiaomu with admiration, "She hurt you like this, yet you can forgive her."
"I believe that if it were you, you would forgive her too." Ji Xiao looked at Wu Xiaoxiao and smiled, "Xiaoxiao is also a kind person!"
"No, no, no, I won't. I hold a grudge." Wu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She felt that she would definitely not forgive.
"I think... I wouldn't either." Lin Wanqing also said, "I don't have the same tolerance as my sister-in-law. Just thinking about what she did to my sister-in-law before makes me so angry."
"Reputation is too important for women. A woman whose innocence is ruined will be gossiped about for the rest of her life. In some villages, she may even be thrown into a pig cage by the villagers. Even after death, she cannot clear her name..." Lin Wanqing turned her head away and bit her lip.
"Wanqing, you..." Ji Xiaomu didn't expect Lin Wanqing's reaction to be so big, and looked at Lin Wanqing worriedly.
"I'm fine. I told you before that my father originally wanted to marry me to a man of equal social status. He had a bad character and had four concubines before he even had a wife. Because of my strong rejection, my father agreed to cancel the engagement. But that man... took the opportunity to kidnap me when I was out and wanted to take me to his private residence..." Lin Wanqing recalled as the girls' faces darkened.
"It was my third brother. When he found out I was missing, he came looking for me. He followed clues and found his private residence. He rescued me in time, beat him up severely, and then sent me back home. But afterwards, he spread rumors everywhere that he had tarnished my innocence. Dad's explanation could not stop the gossips. Everyone was pointing fingers at me. During that period of time... I thought about dying to prove my innocence." Lin Wanqing raised her head and continued.
"It was my third brother who stopped me. He told me that death would not solve the problem and would only make my parents sad. Rumors stop at wise people. They are all insignificant people to me. Why should I care about their thoughts? They will not live with me forever." Lin Wanqing's eyes gleamed. "Then my third brother took me away from home and accompanied me to travel around and meet new people and things. I gradually understood what he meant. When I went to a new and unfamiliar place, no one knew me, let alone my affairs. I didn't need to care about other people's eyes at all, because they didn't understand me at all."
"Then...then you fell in love with Third Brother?" Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly disappeared because of Wu Xiaoxiao's words, and everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Wanqing blushed, but smiled. "Well, then I fell in love with the third brother. Although the third brother has always been with me, he keeps a distance from me. I don't understand how he sees me, but I don't want to wait, so... I asked him to marry me directly."
"Third brother is definitely the most enviable among the brothers." Chu Qin said with a smile, "Being proposed to by the third sister-in-law! It's enough for him to be proud for the rest of his life."
"He still hasn't let it go! He's always showing off!" Ji Xiaomu laughed, "When you guys weren't here a few days ago, I heard the brothers chatting, and the third brother even mentioned this matter! The others were so envious..."
"Third brother must have had you in his heart for a long time! Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so promptly. He must have gone to find you as soon as he found you." Wu Xiaoxiao analyzed, "Third brother must like you very much, sister-in-law."
