“It must be because Su Lan and the hooligan are in a relationship and want to be together forever. They concocted this story about me making a deal with him, hoping to tarnish my reputation and strip me of my title!” Wang Yizhi believed he was clever enough to counter their claims.
At that moment, Wang Yizhi’s sister entered the room with her four-year-old daughter, Xiaoyu.
Wang Yizhi and his sister had devised a plan. His sister coerced Xiaoyu into lying, claiming that she had witnessed her mother and the hooligan in each other’s arms. She threatened the little girl, saying she wouldn’t feed her or her mother and even considered whipping her if she didn’t comply. To entice Xiaoyu to go along with her story, she gave the child a piece of candy.
Despite being just four years old, Xiaoyu was not naive. With the candy in her mouth, she knew not to say anything negative about her mother.
Wang Yizhi grabbed his daughter’s hand and tried to coax her. “Come on, sweetie, tell us what you told daddy earlier.”
Feeling a bit afraid of her father, who had a history of hitting her, Xiaoyu asked hesitantly, “Dad, what should I say?”
Wang Yizhi glared at her. “You told me that you saw your mother with this uncle…’
Hearing what Wang Yizhi said, the village chief couldn’t help but cough, wanting to offer him an opportunity to retreat.
Xiaoyu was no fool. If she said anything incriminating about Wang Yizhi, he wouldn’t be able to protect himself.
The village chief swiftly intervened, taking Xiaoyu away from Wang Yizhi and gently stepping on his foot. “Yizhi, she’s only four years old. She doesn’t understand adult matters. Don’t put her in a difficult position.”
Finally, Wang Yizhi grasped the village chief’s intention.
He looked around. The villagers were all looking at him with disdain.
Xiaoyu took the opportunity to run to Su Lan’s side.
Su Lan bent down and picked up her daughter.
Xiaoyu whispered into Su Lan’s ears, revealing that her father and aunt had threatened her.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Su Lan’s heart sank, and she glanced sadly at her brothers.
“Brother, if your sister, me, is wrongfully convicted, can you take Xiaoyu home to raise her?” Su Lan’s heart was heavy with concern. The Wang Family had always favored boys over girls, and they had never shown much affection for her daughter. If anything happened to her, she feared Xiaoyu would not be treated well within the Wang Family.
Su Bin interjected firmly, “We are here for you. They cannot wrong you.”
Su Lan found a glimmer of hope and asked again, “If I get divorced, can I take Xiaoyu home?”
The three brothers answered in unison, “Of course! You can stay with us for as long as you want. We are family!”
Su Bin continued, “Sister, we all support you in getting a divorce!”
Overwhelmed with emotion, Su Lan burst into tears.
Qin Zhenzhen passed her a handkerchief, offering comfort. “Elder Sister, please don’t cry. We need evidence for everything. Their accusations alone are not enough to convict you!”
Qin Silong added, “But your brother is right. Instead of staying at the Wang Family and being manipulated by them, you should divorce and lead a wonderful life with Xiaoyu!”
Su Lan turned to Qin Zhenzhen and asked, “Third Sister-in-law, you won’t object to me living with you, will you?”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled warmly. “I have no objections! You and Xiaoyu can live with us, and I will support you both. Together, we will show the world that women can live fulfilling lives without men.”
Encouraged by the support, Su Lan wiped away her tears with her sleeves.
Su Bin couldn’t help but look at Qin Zhenzhen, reflecting on her words: women can live a wonderful life without men?
It sounded unusual to him, but he saw felt that Qin Zhenzhen might be able to reach it.
No matter what, Qin Zhenzhen’s encouragement meant the world to Su Lan, and Su Bin felt deeply grateful to her..
