Chapter 193 Confrontation
"Then ask her to explain why she went to the river. Her radio station is so far away from the river. What else could she have gone there for if not to cause trouble for me?"
Seeing that her "accusation" made the Su family more united on Su Wanwan's side, Jiang Panhua's swollen waist hurt even more.
"All the people who were washing clothes with me saw it, and my waist is now so swollen. Even if you want to protect your family, you shouldn't treat me like this, right? After all, I gave birth to two sons for your Su family. Why don't you treat me as a human being?"
Su Wanwan thought Jiang Panhua would keep silent like before, and was about to go back to her room to read a book, but she didn't know that Jiang Panhua behind her suddenly raised her voice again.
If their house was not a certain distance away from the street outside the yard, people outside passing by their door would be able to clearly hear what they were arguing about inside.
The eldest brother Su Gao pressed his forehead tiredly, stood up and walked to the kitchen, fetched a basin of water for the children to wash.
Jiang Shuzhen, who was standing by, had nothing to do and could only sit in her seat quietly.
"If you don't want to admit that you twisted your waist accidentally, we can call all the women who washed clothes with you home and confront them face to face."
Su Wanwan was naturally not afraid. How could she admit to something she had not done?
Upon hearing Su Wanwan's proposal, Jiang Panhua, who had been drooling, fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly changed the subject -
"Do we have to let outsiders interfere in the Su family's affairs? Do we have to make a fool of ourselves until everyone in the village knows about it? Su Wanwan, you have no shame, but we still have it!"
Listening to Jiang Panhua's desperate excuses, Su Wanwan tried to hold back but couldn't help laughing out loud: "Third sister-in-law, can you really say that? When I passed by the river this afternoon, you were clearly talking about the Su family's family affairs with several other women. Although I didn't hear much, with just a few words, you made up a story about almost everyone in the family. Now you're saying that family disgrace should not be made public. Is this appropriate?"
Su Wanwan calmly recounted what Jiang Panhua had said to her, and walked forward a few steps and stood in front of Jiang Panhua.
"And you just emphasized several times that the women who washed clothes with you saw the whole process. Let's go all out and call those people home and ask them face to face one by one. I don't believe that we can't get the truth. What do you think? Don't you feel wronged?"
After Su Wanwan finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into a long silence. Jiang Panhua opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"If Third Sister-in-law thinks it's okay, I'll go out and call those people home while it's still not too late."
Su Wanwan said this as she pretended to go out.
Jiang Panhua was so scared that she quickly reached out to stop the man.
Although she didn't know whether the other women saw the specific scene between her and Su Wanwan, she knew in her heart that Su Wanwan just turned her back and walked forward, and didn't notice that she had sprained her waist at all.
The reason why the branch was broken was that she slipped, twisted her waist, and subconsciously wanted to grab something, and happened to grab a not very strong branch.
If Su Wanwan really called those women over for a confrontation, not to mention that there were conflicts among the women who often went to the river to wash clothes, even if everyone told the truth, it did not mean that everyone saw the same scene.
Everyone in the Su family stands on Su Wanwan's side. If so many people are involved, she might be even more embarrassed in the end.
"If you don't want to admit it, then forget it. There's no need to make such a fuss and act like you're so wronged!" Jiang Panhua called out to Su Wanwan in a hurried tone.
"You've been complaining about your grievances since you came home, and now Wanwan is going out to clear your grievances for you, so why are you unhappy now?"
Zhao Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned to Jiang Panhua with a stern face.
The only people who have the final say in this family, besides mother Zhao Ying, is father Su Yang, but father is not at home at the moment.
"Mom, isn't this also for our family's sake? You've always taught us that we should consider our family before doing anything. If so many people come in and look around, the fact that we can eat meat at home might get out. Look at the table, aren't there so many shredded pork?"
As Jiang Panhua was talking, she suddenly realized a better reason. She quickly raised her hand and, regardless of the pain in her waist, pointed to the shredded meat in the middle of several dishes on the table.
Su Wanwan sneered secretly in her heart.
"It's okay. It only takes a few minutes to pack these things up. How can it be more important than my sister-in-law's innocence?"
"That would be a disgrace to our family. Wouldn't you keep nagging me? If the whole village were to spread rumors that there was discord in our family, let alone the impact it would have on me, our father would be uneasy as a village official in the future, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Panhua actually mentioned her father Su Yang, Su Gao, who had just washed the faces of his two children, coughed heavily.
"What are you talking about? Everyone in the village can see what kind of person our father is!" Su Di suddenly shouted in a low voice.
As the legitimate head of the family, Father Su Yang's authority must be maintained at all times.
Su Gao and Su Di were naturally unhappy when Jiang Panhua mentioned this.
"Do we need to hide the family conflicts in our family? Isn't it known to everyone?" Although Su Wanwan stopped walking out, she had no intention of returning to her room.
After arguing for a while, she suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Didn't you tell your good sisters when you went to the river to wash clothes?"
Su Wanwan took an empty bowl from the table nearby and nonchalantly transferred the remaining rice from her lunch box into the bowl.
"You were the one who spread rumors about our family members outside, and now you are the one who has to protect the family's image, Third Sister-in-law, don't you feel that you have all the merits?"
"You...then just tell me, you went to the river this afternoon and didn't go to look for me, so what did you do?"
Jiang Panhua's face was a little flushed, and whenever she was about to be defeated by Su Wanwan, she would suddenly raise her voice.
Perhaps Jiang Panhua's voice was too sharp, so Qinggui's small body, who was washing her face, shook violently.
"Why are you talking so loudly? Look how scared the child is!" The eldest brother Su Gao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly whispered, and then continued to wash Qinggui's face.
"Can't I pass by the river if I'm fine? Does that mean that all the people passing by the river are looking for you?" Su Wanwan ate the leftovers from lunch in big mouthfuls, and by the way, filled her bowl with a lot of shredded pork made by her mother Zhao Yingxin, and ate with some refreshing chili, without being affected by the meal at all.
