Su Wen roughly figured out the plot of the story and came up with a plan. Now that she had transmigrated here, she could not let the story in the book happen. The six Su sisters were innocent.
Since she had transmigrated here, she had to find a way to ease the conflict and strive for the male protagonist’s forgiveness.
“Aunt Chunyan, actually… actually, you guys have misunderstood Zhou Hengyang.” Su Wen grabbed Wang Chunyan’s hand and said guiltily, “Hengyang… He’s very good.”
“What do you mean by very good? I thought he couldn’t do it?” Someone from the crowd asked sharply.
Su Wen’s mind was working quickly.
In fact, she was also hesitating. If she admitted that she was deliberately smearing Zhou Hengyang’s name, she would be too embarrassed to show her face in future. She would be criticized behind her back wherever she went.
She definitely couldn’t admit it, but she also couldn’t let the male lead bear the infamy.
“There’s no such thing.” Su Wen put on an act and said in a tearful voice, “The rumors are all nonsense. I’ve never said that; it’s not true at all. I just found out that someone is trying to defame me. You mustn’t believe it.”
“Then why didn’t you clarify things?”
“How can I explain such matters?” Su Wen gave an embarrassed look. She felt conflicted and helpless. “There’s someone who’s trying to defame us. If I explain, won’t I look guilty?”
The villagers thought about it and realized that it was true. It was indeed difficult to explain what went on between a husband and wife behind closed doors.
“Which black-hearted person is this? So wicked.” Wang Chunyan immediately swallowed the story and started cursing.
“If that’s the case, why did you chase Zhou Hengyang away, penniless?” Someone hid in the crowd and fanned the flames.
Su Wen looked up and didn’t see anyone suspicious.
“He’s not being chased away, he’s going out to make a living.” Su Wen rummaged through her pockets and found a poor quality handkerchief that contained all her current belongings. She carefully opened the handkerchief and counted that there was actually 55 yuan.
The eyes of the surrounding people were fixed on her.
The Su family was so poor that they were about to sell everything they had, yet they still had more than 50 yuan.
“Sigh! Look, I’ve already prepared the travel expenses, how could I have forgotten to pass it to him!”
Wang Chunyan and the other villagers saw that Su Wen had actually prepared money and promptly nodded in agreement.
“Then hurry up and send it to Zhou Hengyang. It’ll be too late if you don’t.”
In the midst of the commotion, a clear and firm voice was heard. “I’ll go!”
Su Wen looked over and saw a girl with braids. Although she was dressed in a rustic style, her clothes were clean and tidy, and her bright almond-shaped eyes glowed with intelligence.
“Sun Yunyun is here; let Sun Yunyun go.”
Sun Yunyun bit her lip and nervously stared at the money in Su Wen’s hand. After she caught up with Zhou Hengyang, she was planning to say that she had prepared the money herself as a token of goodwill. If Zhou Hengyang refused to accept it, she would ask him to take it that she was lending it to him and that he could return it when he had made some money.
Anyway, in the dream, Zhou Hengyang had struck it rich and had plenty of money.
It turned out to be the manipulative female protagonist! No wonder she stood out among the crowd! Su Wen was very clear about her plans, so she wouldn’t do anything stupid!
“Su Wen, let me go! If I run fast, I’ll definitely catch up. You just fainted. We’re good sisters, so you don’t have to be polite with me,” Sun Yunyun said as she reached out to grab the money in Su Wen’s hand, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
“No need,” Su Wen coldly pushed away Sun Yunyun’s hand. While Sun Yunyun was still in shock, she called over the youngest sister in the Su family, little sister Su.
Little sister Su was only six years old this year. She was small-sized and thin, her face was smeared black, and she was wearing patched-up clothes. When Su Wen called her over, her whole body was trembling, for fear that she would be beaten if she made her big sister unhappy.
Su Wen tied up the handkerchief and stuffed it into little sister Su’s hands.
“Hurry, catch up with your brother-in-law up and give the money to him.”
Little sister Su had the lowest status in the family, so she ran as though her life depended on it the moment her big sister gave the order.
Sun Yunyun watched helplessly as little sister Su disappeared into the distance. She was angry and anxious, as if something important was getting further and further out of her reach.
