Chapter 2. The stepbrother who was ostracized by the whole village. . .
Just before the sun was about to set, Cheng Songer finally returned to Chengjia Village with Cheng Qingzhi on her back, passing by almost every household along the way.
It happened to be the time when every household was preparing to have dinner. The villagers liked to set up a small low table in their courtyards to eat. When those few households saw Cheng Songer carrying Cheng Qingzhi back, their eyes almost popped out.
The eyes of a middle-aged woman, who looked honest and sincere, stared maliciously at Cheng Qingzhi's feet.
When Cheng Songer had just checked his wounds, she didn't put his shoes on him. Although his feet were wrapped in socks, the direct and light gaze made him feel extremely embarrassed.
Cheng Qingzhi's face suddenly changed, struggling to get off her back.
Cheng Songer naturally noticed where the gaze of this "honest" woman was directed.
But Cheng Qingzhi's shoes were already too worn out to wear, and his injured feet couldn't touch the ground. . .
"Don't mind her, it's okay," she comforted him softly and tightly wrapped his feet with the hem of her own clothes.
Cheng Qingzhi bit his lip and looked at Cheng Songer with a strange expression.
The villagers spoke very directly. Seeing that they couldn't take advantage, the "honest" middle-aged woman directly leaned against the fence and asked her, "Sister Songer, weren't you planning to sell your brother? Why did you change your mind?"
Cheng Songer glanced at her. This woman's name was Cheng Li. Despite her honest appearance, she had secretly coveted Cheng Qingzhi for a long time.
She coveted Cheng Qingzhi's beauty but despised his father's lack of moral character.
In a country where women were highly respected, men were expected to uphold moral values. Someone like Cheng Qingzhi's father would have been thrown into a pig cage if caught, luckily he ran fast enough to avoid that fate.
Although Cheng Li liked Cheng Qingzhi's celestial appearance, she was afraid that he would have the same character as his father. She had no intention of marrying him to save him from his miserable life.
Instead, she coldly watched as he married a nimble-handed woman from the neighboring village.
But the dirty thoughts in her heart never ceased.
After hearing that Cheng Songer planned to sell Cheng Qingzhi, she secretly took money and went to the Yihong Pavilion, hoping to wait for a wealthy woman to deflower him so she could satisfy her desires.
Actually, it's not just her. Many women in Cheng's village have such dirty thoughts.
Usually, everyone in the village gets along well, but in reality, they all have ulterior motives. The women covet Cheng Qingzhi's beauty and watch him suffer without offering help. They even wish for his situation to worsen so they can have him for themselves.
Although Cheng Qingzhi has an unfaithful father, he himself upholds moral values, which prevents them from taking action against him.
They conspire against him behind his back, accusing him of being promiscuous and immoral.
The men in the village, seeing their wives' infatuation with Cheng Qingzhi's beauty, become jealous and angry. They claim that since he has a promiscuous father, he will surely follow in his footsteps. They collectively ostracize and slander him, even throwing stones at him when children see him.
