Grandma Wang from next door rushed in, covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"Guihua! What are you going to eat?!" Aunt Wang slapped her thigh, her loud voice startling two sparrows in the tree into flight. "Dahe Village has made a complete fool of itself! It's quite a spectacle; the whole village has rushed to see!"

Guihua loves gossip, and as soon as she hears something exciting, she puts the bowl down on the ground.

"What a mess!" Guihua leaned closer. "Whose business is this?"

"Aunt Donggua's family!" Aunt Wang said vividly, "Aunt Donggua isn't dead!"

Guihua looked puzzled: "Didn't the doctor say a couple of days ago that he was about to die and that we should prepare for his funeral? It's good that he's still alive, so what's all this commotion?"

"Good my foot!" Aunt Wang stamped her feet in frustration. "The doctor said she's perfectly healthy. She's been eating and drinking well these past few days, and she's even more energetic than me!"

"So what's the matter then?"

"Let me finish!" Aunt Wang lowered her voice, speaking mysteriously. "Didn't Aunt Donggua think she was going to die a couple of days ago? So she called her son to her bedside and gave him her last words."

Su Nianhe, sitting next to her, was also completely stunned by what she heard.

"She told her son that his real father wasn't this Uncle Donggua, but Old Li, the pig butcher in the village!" Aunt Wang revealed this shocking revelation.

Guihua was so surprised her jaw almost dropped.

"What the hell?" Guihua's eyes widened. "She told everyone about it?"

"That's right!" Aunt Wang slapped her thigh. "She thought she was going to die, and she wanted to tell the truth before she died so that her son could be recognized as part of the family. But guess what? She didn't die! She came back to life!"

Guihua gasped upon hearing this.

"This is such a mess," Guihua shook her head repeatedly. "Can Uncle Donggua handle this?"

"What are they doing! Uncle Donggua is wielding a cleaver in the yard, ready to chop someone up! Old Li's wife has also charged over with a fire poker! The three families are now in complete chaos, and all the dogs in Dahe Village are barking!" Aunt Wang became more and more agitated as she spoke. "Hurry up, or you won't get a good spot!"

Guihua didn't even bother with breakfast; she grabbed Su Nianhe's arm and pulled her outside.

"Come on, honey, let's go take a look!"

Su Nianhe was pulled along by her, and they ran all the way out of Xiahe Village and headed straight for Dahe Village next door.

Dahe Village is not far away, separated by two field ridges.

Before even entering the village, we could hear a chaotic cacophony of shouts and curses coming from ahead.

When we arrived at Aunt Donggua's courtyard, good heavens, it was surrounded by people three or four layers deep, and even a few teenagers were riding on the courtyard wall to watch the excitement.

The noise of pots and pans being smashed and broken inside was deafening.

"You shameless slut! I raised this son for twenty years, and it turns out he was raised by someone else!" A rough, hoarse male voice roared in the courtyard.

Then came the woman's pig-like wailing: "How was I supposed to know I wouldn't die! If I had known I could live, I would never have told you, even if you killed me!"

Guihua pulled Su Nianhe along, and they squeezed through the crowd to the very front.

The yard was a complete mess.

Uncle Donggua was holding a chipped kitchen knife, and several village officials were holding him back.

Aunt Donggua sat on the ground, her hair disheveled, and wailed loudly.

Standing nearby was a fat woman carrying a fire poker, pointing at Aunt Donggua and cursing, "You shameless bastard, you seduced my old Li, and now you want my old Li to give this bastard a share of the family property!"

The son, who was in his early twenties, squatted in the corner, holding his head, completely dumbfounded.

Guihua inquired around and whispered among the people around her. With the grand drama unfolding before her, Su Nianhe watched for a while and also understood the whole situation clearly.

Aunt Donggua's actions are truly outrageous.

Thinking she was about to die, she revealed all the secrets she had kept for twenty years, but fate was cruel and refused to take her away.

Now, I've survived, but I've lost my family.

The crowd was pushing and shoving, with people at the back desperately trying to push forward.

"Stop pushing! There's no room in front!" Guihua shouted at the top of her lungs.

Su Nianhe was already unsteady on her feet, and when a big fat man bumped into her shoulder from behind, she fell backward.

Just as she was about to fall onto the muddy ground, a hand reached out from the side, firmly grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the chaotic crowd.

Su Nianhe steadied herself, still shaken, and turned around to see that it was a young woman who had pulled her up.

"A little snack." The girl released her grip and gestured with her chin towards the crowd. "That lazybones named Er Gou tried to grope you in the chaos."

Su Nianhe was startled and looked in the direction she was looking.

At the edge of the crowd, a man in a dirty old t-shirt with shifty eyes was staring at her.

Su Nianhe quickly took a step back and whispered, "Thank you."

She looked up at the girl. The girl was voluptuous, even more flamboyant than Su Nianhe.

Er Gou, seeing his good time interrupted, came over and said in a foul tone, "Bai Miaomiao, stop meddling! I was just watching the fun and got in the way, and you slut ruined my good time."

As he spoke, Er Gou, oblivious to his own danger, moved forward even further.

Bai Miaomiao didn't waste any words with him. She raised her foot and, swiftly and decisively, kicked him in the groin.

"Aww—"

Er Gou's face turned green with pain. He clutched his crotch and squatted down, howling obscenities: "You promiscuous bitch! How dare you kick me! I'm going to report you!"

Bai Miaomiao didn't even glance at Er Gou on the ground. She turned to Su Nianhe and said, "I'm leaving now. Be careful and hurry home."

After saying that, she pushed over a 28-inch bicycle next to her, took a stride, and rode away.

Several elderly women and men from Dahe Village, who were watching the commotion, completely ignored Er Gou, who was writhing in pain, and instead pointed and whispered about Bai Miaomiao's retreating figure.

"That fickle woman is trying to seduce someone again. Look at what she's dressed like."

"That's right, they're never home and always running around."

They completely believed Er Gou's slander, entirely because of their prejudice against Bai Miaomiao's flamboyant appearance.

After looking at Bai Miaomiao, some people turned their attention to Su Nianhe standing next to her and whispered among themselves, "Who is this girl? She's quite pretty."

Guihua, who had been squeezing to the front to watch Aunt Donggua's performance, has finally realized what's happening.

Once they'd seen enough of the commotion and noticed the villagers of Dahe Village staring at Su Nianhe, they quickly squeezed out and pulled Su Nianhe away.

"Let's go, let's hurry back, lest we become the commotion ourselves." Guihua pulled her along quickly.

As Su Nianhe followed, she asked, "Auntie, who was that girl just now?"

Guihua exclaimed, "That's Bai Miaomiao, the girl from Dahe Village. She's very pretty!"

As Guihua spoke, she specifically looked at Su Nianhe: "That figure is just like yours, her clothes can barely cover her up. Everyone in Dahe Village says that this girl is not proper, but I don't think that's necessarily true, she's just too eye-catching."

Su Nianhe followed Guihua back, her mind seemingly lost in thought.

Bai Miaomiao just now seemed completely unafraid of what others might say.

Faced with Er Gou's teasing, she not only didn't dodge, but also dared to fight back to protect herself.

Su Nianhe thought of her former self.

She was always afraid, afraid of being talked about, and dared not even walk in crowded places in the village.

Because the bachelors stared at her a few times, the village elders also blamed her for being indecent.

But it wasn't her fault in the first place.

At that time, she didn't dare to fight back and could only hide.

If she could kick them like Bai Miaomiao, wouldn't those people stop bullying her?
