Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

Chapter 76: 1 Crying, 2 Making a Scene, 3 Attempting to Hang Oneself

Qin Sufeng retorted, "Zhang Sanniang, don't just listen to Zhao Lei. It's said that it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. I, Qin Sufeng, have helped arrange so many marriages in the surrounding villages; those are all acts of merit."

Besides, Dr. Su and Zhao Lei have been divorced for a long time. What's wrong with me arranging a marriage for her? You can't stop us women from finding happiness, can you?

Zhao Lei was so angry he laughed when he heard this.

I thought to myself, Qin Sufeng, Qin Sufeng... If you were in this era, but in the 21st century, you'd be a top-tier internal affairs manager on Little Red Book!

Their boxing techniques are truly impressive!

Upon hearing Qin Sufeng's words, Granny Zhang hesitated.

Qin Sufeng is telling the truth.

However, Granny Zhang has recently received a lot of favors from Zhao Lei. He even brought her several fish he caught yesterday.

In Zhang Sanpo's eyes, Zhao Lei was a good young man.

Although he lives with three ex-wives who are divorced, they live a happy and harmonious family life, which is their own achievement.

What are you doing here, Qin Sufeng, causing trouble?

Overall, Granny Zhang was still on Zhao Lei's side.

So, Granny Zhang shook her head and continued to point at Qin Sufeng, yelling, "Qin Sufeng, stop meddling in other people's business! Lei's family is doing just fine, why are you causing trouble?"

Seeing that many residents had gathered nearby and surrounded her and Zhao Lei, Qin Sufeng felt more confident.

He said with his head held high, "Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. This Zhao Lei has already divorced Dr. Su, but they are still living together."

I came to Dr. Su because I wanted her to find me a suitable marriage partner, but Zhao Lei brazenly confronted me in broad daylight!

As she spoke, Qin Sufeng showed her swollen cheeks to everyone: "Look, do you know how much this huge fight has hurt me? Waaaaah..."

After saying that, Qin Sufeng began to wail loudly.

With tears and snot streaming down his face, he kicked his legs frantically on the ground until his shoes came off.

Most of the villagers who were watching the spectacle felt more sympathy for the weaker party.

On one side was Zhao Lei, a tall and strong young man, and on the other side was a woman being beaten on the ground, screaming in agony.

Several old men then began to speak.

"Lei Zi, what your Aunt Su Fen said isn't entirely unreasonable; she's only trying to help you..."

Zhao Lei immediately pointed at Grandpa Wang and said, "Shut up, Grandpa Wang! Don't force me to curse you too!"

Grandpa Wang was speechless for a moment: "Uh..."

On the other side, the older Mr. Zhou advised, "Lei Zi, no matter what Qin Sufeng did wrong, she's still your aunt..."

Zhao Lei turned around and pointed at Grandpa Zhou, saying, "You shut up too!"

"Hey! You little rascal!"

Faced with Zhao Lei's tall, imposing figure and burly physique, all the peacemakers who tried to speak up were intimidated by him.

Seeing that her crying and fussing were not getting anyone's sympathy, Qin Sufeng rolled her eyes and shouted, "Oh dear, they're all bullying me! These kids think they're so great now, they've grown wings!"

"To beat my aunt in front of so many people, and to be so self-righteous—is there no justice in this world? I can't live anymore! I have no face to live! I'll die right now!"

Upon hearing this, some of the villagers who had been silent began to chime in with their own words of advice.

"Zhao Lei, you'd better apologize quickly. After all, she's an elder."

"That's right, Zhao Lei. Qin Sufeng is crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang herself. What kind of behavior is that? You should try to talk to her."

"Yeah, why don't we just sit down and talk it out? Why do we have to make it like this?"

Zhao Lei ignored all that, bent down, grabbed Qin Sufeng by the collar, and lifted her up by force.

He yelled, "Qin Sufeng! Stop putting on airs with me! If you want to die, go die somewhere else!"

"Oh my god, murder! Zhao Lei has murdered someone!"

Qin Sufeng started shouting again.

This prompted the villagers who were watching the commotion to quickly step forward and offer their advice.

"Zhao Lei, put him down. Can't we talk this out?"

"Yeah, Lei Zi, don't go too far in front of so many people."

Just then, Uncle Liu, who had traded his food coupons with Zhao Lei for fish the day before, squeezed into the crowd.

This Uncle Liu is 75 years old and is one of the most respected elders in the Heping Brigade.

He immediately scolded, "Stop arguing! Lei Zi, put him down first."

When Zhao Lei saw his sixth uncle appear, their eyes met.

Sixth Uncle nodded at him.

Zhao Lei then loosened Qin Sufeng's collar.

Qin Sufeng took a few deep breaths and looked at her sixth uncle: "Sixth brother, you have to stand up for me! Look, my face is all swollen from Zhao Lei's beating."

Uncle Liu, leaning on his cane, stomped his foot on the ground: "Hmph! Qin Sufeng, you deserved to be beaten."

"No, Sixth Brother, I'm doing a good deed."

"Good news? You went to ask Dr. Su for a marriage proposal and got rejected, didn't you?"

Qin Sufeng was speechless.

"Didn't I hit the nail on the head? Even though Dr. Su and Lei Zi are divorced, Dr. Su only has Zhao Lei in her heart. Why are you getting involved? Everyone in our brigade can see that."

Qin Sufeng muttered, "How would I know...?"

Uncle Liu raised his cane, ready to strike: "Are you still pretending to be confused?"

Qin Sufeng quickly took a few steps back and pleaded, "Oh, Sixth Brother, I'm really doing this for Zhao Lei's own good. Look... he has three ex-wives and three children at home now, how can he support three families by himself?"

Moreover, the marriage I proposed to Dr. Su comes from an extremely good family; his brother is an official, and he himself is a militia captain…”

Zhao Lei listened from the side and felt that the conditions Qin Sufeng was describing seemed familiar.

Could it be that...?

"Qin Sufeng, who sent you to arrange this marriage?"

Qin Sufeng looked around, seemingly hesitant.

Uncle Liu said impatiently, "Qin Sufeng, just say it out loud. Since you dared to take on this marriage matchmaking business, you'll have to make it public sooner or later. Who is it?"

Hearing this, Qin Sufeng finally mustered up her courage and said, "Alright, Zhao Lei, I'm not afraid to tell you now, it's Zhao Chenghu from Qingshui Ditch next door!"

With a loud bang!

The name struck the minds of everyone present like a bolt from the blue.

They all know Zhao Chenghu!

This kid is almost 30 years old, and relying on his brother Zhao Chenglong's protection, he can be said to have done all sorts of evil deeds.

The members of the Peace Brigade had long heard of him, and some had even been bullied by him.

Moreover, as everyone knows, Dr. Su was harassed by Zhao Chenghu in Qingshuigou and was willing to be punished one by one to be transferred to Heping Brigade.

Qin Sufeng knew all this, yet she still dared to act as a matchmaker for Zhao Chenghu. Wasn't that pushing Dr. Su into a fire pit?

Upon hearing the name Zhao Chenghu, Granny Zhang, who was standing nearby, suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

A resounding slap landed on Qin Sufeng's other cheek...
