After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 187, Episode 0194: The Sequel to Chen Yuanyu's Story (Part 1)

That family had many relatives; nearly a hundred people lived in the same Fourth Brigade, and they all lived in roughly the same area.

The night of the earthquake was also the last night of the housewarming party. The family that built the new house could move in the next day, and this was also the day they would host a housewarming party.

It's hard to say whether that family was generous or stingy, but in any case, the banquet was beautifully organized, and aside from everything else, the alcohol was unlimited.

Then, good heavens, in a house with fewer than ten rooms, nearly a hundred people, all of whom had drunk some alcohol, slept there that night.

They couldn't bear to hire professionals to build the house; it was all built with the help of their own family. There were problems with the construction, and when the earthquake struck, houses that others had lived in for decades hadn't collapsed, but this one collapsed with a few loud 'booms'.

It's not that all the people involved in the accident in the Fourth Brigade were here, but this one place alone accounted for the majority of the dead and injured.

You know, this whole thing is a mess.

Xu Zhichuan blinked, shook his head with mixed feelings, and said, "That whole family of dogs almost beat each other to a pulp."

Almost every household had someone killed or seriously injured, so they all went to the new house owner for compensation. But the new house owner was naturally unwilling, and besides, he couldn't afford to pay.

His reasoning was quite sound: the house was built with everyone's help, so he shouldn't be entirely blamed for any problems.

The matter involving the former Yang Brigade is even bigger, since it's far away. So, this significant matter involving the Fourth Brigade is now the biggest news, and it's being talked about everywhere.

June is almost here, quietly.

The earthquake seems to have passed; at least in this large village, apart from the houses that are being rebuilt, there is little lingering effect.

People would only occasionally talk about the unfortunate Qianyang Brigade during casual conversations. Because the Second, Third, and Fourth Brigades were closer, everyone kept quiet about those misfortunes.

The Qianyang Brigade suffered no survivors and was the hardest-hit area in the earthquake.

The village has long since resumed work, and walking through it now, it's almost exactly the same as before the earthquake.

That noon, Lin Yuexi led Xiao Zhaohua toward the village entrance.

His steps were slightly hurried.

As she rounded a bend, a dark-skinned girl rushed out and nearly pounced on her.

Lin Yuexi could have dodged it. As her health improved, her skills from her previous life were gradually returning. Now, unless she encountered a master among masters, she could easily take on several opponents, let alone this ordinary little black girl in front of her.

But with Xiao Zhaohua by her side, and Xiao Zhaohua only holding her thumb, if she were to pull away, the little guy might not be able to get away, and he would be the one to get hurt.

We can only prepare for a collision.

Unexpectedly, the little black girl was quite agile. Just as she was about to bump into her, she made a miraculous ninety-degree turn with a panicked expression, and crashed straight into the wall next to her with a 'thud'.

"Ouch~"

Lin Yuexi: "..."

His lips twitched. "Are you alright?"

Chen Liuya clutched her chin, writhing in pain like a boiled shrimp, her eyes brimming with tears as she waved her hand.

He managed to say with difficulty, "...No, it's nothing."

Nothing's wrong my foot, I've had a good wash.

But being able to see Lin Zhiqing so closely makes all the pain worthwhile! Yes, Chen Liuya came here specifically to 'ambush' Lin Yuexi.

Chen Liuya herself is not good-looking, but she is not jealous of good-looking people at all. On the contrary, she is a serious looks-obsessed person.

Because Chen Yuanyu was beautiful, she clung to her and did many things for her. However, some of her actions were easily misunderstood and had a negative impact on Chen Yuanyu.

Aunt Taohua told Lin Yuexi about this. Chen Yuanman always took the initiative to wash Chen Yuanyu's clothes and quilts, and never misled anyone about Chen Yuanyu. It's just that she was naive, which gave some people who were already dissatisfied with Secretary Chen's family an excuse to attack her.

For example, there was a time when Chen Liuya went to the river to wash her quilt, which was also the only time Chen Liuya went to the river to wash her quilt.

The Chen family has a well, but that day the Chen family's grandson threw a clump of cow dung into the well, so the well water was temporarily unusable. That's when Chen Liuya took the basin to the river.

Aunt Taohua said that the quilt was not asked to be washed by Secretary Chen's family; it was Chen Liuya who took it herself.

Chen Liuya met Ma Liuzi's wife at the river.

Ma Liuzi's wife had a grudge against the Chen family. Originally, Ma Liuzi's wife was in a relationship with Chen Laoda, but she disliked that Chen Laoda's dowry was too low, so she married Ma Liuzi, who had a higher dowry.

Logically, Ma Liuzi and his wife were in the wrong first, and if anyone should blame someone, it should be Secretary Chen's family. But the couple didn't think so. They saw that the Chen family's life was getting better and better, so one of them blamed Chen's eldest son for being a womanizer, and the other blamed Chen's eldest son for still seducing his wife even though his child was already in his twenties.

Ma Liuzi's wife noticed that one of the quilts Chen Liuya had taken to be washed was relatively new. Knowing that the Chen family favored Chen Yuanyu, and seeing that the quilt had a small floral pattern, she knew it must be Chen Yuanyu's quilt.

At that time, there were several women, both old and young, washing clothes by the river. They were all gossipy people. Ma Liuzi's wife deliberately raised her voice and asked Chen Liuya if the bed sheet belonged to Chen Yuanyu.

Chen Liuya knew nothing, and when Ma Liuzi's wife asked her, she simply answered "yes".

Then Ma Liuzi's wife asked again, "Why are you washing Yuanyu's sheets? Is it because her family is bullying you?"

Chen Liuya didn't realize the sinister intention behind the question. She wasn't familiar with Ma Liuzi's wife and had no intention of chatting with her, so she casually replied, "No one is bullying me. I just want to wash it myself."

After that, no matter what Ma Liuzi's wife said, she didn't reply.

Sometimes, people are more willing to believe what they want to believe.

After Chen Liuya finished washing up and left, under the deliberate guidance of Ma Liuzi's wife, everyone around her said that the Chen family was bullying Chen Liuya, and that Chen Yuanyu, who appeared to be well-behaved and sensible, was actually a black lotus flower.

Secretary Chen and his team have also investigated and clarified the rumors that Chen Yuanyu was spreading at school.

It is indeed related to Chen Liuya.

Chen Yuanyu's husband, a teacher, is a scoundrel who has bullied several students. However, he is very good at hiding it, and even his wife, the teacher, does not know his true colors.

Once, when Chen Liuya went to deliver something to Chen Yuanyu, she happened to see that person stopping Chen Yuanyu and saying something. The way that person looked at Chen Yuanyu was almost exactly the same as the way those people her father had brought looked at her mother.

So the kid followed the man and beat him up in an alley.

The problem is, fine, you beat someone up, but you know how to suffocate someone's head with a rag and then leave a threatening message:
"If you ever dare to go to Chen Yuanyu again, I'll break both your legs."

The teacher's husband didn't know who hit him, but once this threat came out, even a fool would know who he was beaten for.

This man was naturally furious and wanted to take revenge on Chen Yuanyu and the person who hit him.

It just so happens that he has a relative in the brigade, and even more coincidentally, that relative is Ma Liuzi's wife.

That man was a vermin from the gutter, cowardly but extremely petty. After being beaten up, he didn't dare to have any more designs on Chen Yuanyu. He guessed that the person who beat him up could only be Chen Yuanyu's family, so he prepared to take revenge on Chen Yuanyu's whole family.

If you can't have it, destroy it, and in doing so, make Chen Yuanyu suffer eternal damnation.
