Shitou grunted and then flopped down onto the kang bed, falling into a deep sleep. Mrs. Liang cursed, “This damned child,” before she turned and left the room, without any intention of lecturing him.

After resting for a night, Qinghe had mostly recovered. Waiting until noon, Muniang accompanied her to the Wang family’s house.

Noon was when everyone returned from the fields to have lunch. Although some diligent people had their meals sent to the fields to get by, most would still come home to eat, since it was the proper way to live. At this time, the villagers were mostly at home, so there would be people to help bear witness during a confrontation.

Muniang knocked on the door, and Mrs. Liang’s voice came from inside, “Who is it? Come in!”

As the gate creaked open, Mrs. Liang’s expression changed drastically upon seeing who was at the door, “What are you here for?!”

Muniang deliberately raised her voice, “Weren’t it your son Shitou who saw Qinghe with another man doing indecent things in the grove yesterday? Qinghe was so angry she fainted. Now you can’t just let her good reputation be tarnished for nothing! Call your son Shitou out, Qinghe wants to ask him face to face how he saw these ‘ugly affairs.’ Otherwise, leaving things unclear, isn’t that giving people a handle to talk?”

As soon as Muniang said this, sure enough, quite a few onlookers came out from their houses to watch the drama. The incident from yesterday had originally stopped because of Qinghe’s fainting, but people’s gossiping nature couldn’t be held back. Everyone wanted to know what really happened, and when they heard Qinghe personally going to confront the Wang family, they all came out to look.

Mrs. Liang glared at Li Qinghe, “Confrontation? My son only saw her having an affair with another man, and shouted out. What’s there to talk about? She did something shameful and now insists on blaming others. I’ve never seen someone so shameless!”

But today, Li Qinghe didn’t get angry. She knew Mrs. Liang was trying to provoke her, hoping she would faint again so they could muddle through the matter. She couldn’t let them get their way.

“Mrs., you can’t just say anything you want. The whole matter isn’t clear yet, so why jump to conclusions? Let Shitou come out. I want to ask him face to face what exactly he saw.”

“Who says you can just see him whenever you want? Don’t think just because you have some money you can throw your weight around the village. I’m not buying what you’re selling!” Mrs. Liang retorted.

Muniang watched coldly, seeing Mrs. Liang’s attitude, she was pretty sure she had already colluded with Shitou and was prepared to protect her son at all costs. She challenged, “Mrs. Wang is so adamant about not letting us confront Shitou. Could it be because what Shitou said about Qinghe having an affair was made up, and now you’re afraid he’ll slip up if he talks?”

With that, the crowd started to get rowdy, “Exactly, whatever your son says goes? If he really saw it, what’s wrong with confronting the issue here and now? Qinghe is here so openly, why is your Shitou being so stubborn? Could it be that he’s actually guilty?”

Mrs. Liang glared with wide eyes, yelling, “Guilty of what? My son Shitou was blamed by Li Qinghe for no reason, and he was so angry he got sick. He still has a high fever and is not seeing anyone!”

“Oh, how suddenly he got sick. He was jumping around just fine yesterday, and now he has an unrelenting fever today. Isn’t that too convenient?” a lady who was not afraid of stirring up trouble teased.

Mrs. Liang began to curse, “What’s this? Li Qinghe is allowed to faint but my son isn’t allowed to be sick? My son is only ten years old. He saw something yesterday that he shouldn’t have, got shocked, and couldn’t bear it. That’s why he fell ill. I haven’t even blamed her yet!”

Her words, what did she mean by something that shouldn’t be seen? It’s as if her son had witnessed some illicit scene! What “inappropriate thing” could Qinghe, a pregnant woman, have possibly done?

Muniang felt a burst of silent ridicule but just then saw the Village Head making his way over, “Mrs. Liang, there’s no need to make a fuss. Let Shitou come out and confront the issue. After all, this concerns a woman’s reputation; you can’t let it be sullied so senselessly!”

Mrs. Liang looked at the Village Head with a stunned expression and then at Muniang, catching a fleeting cunning look in her eyes. Mrs. Liang clenched her teeth. That Qiao Muniang, so calculating, even had the Village Head brought over in advance. Wasn’t she just trying to prevent Mrs. Liang from intercepting people?!

“It’s not that I don’t want them to meet Shitou, but our Shitou is burning with fever and has fallen ill. How could he meet anyone?” Mrs. Liang’s attitude changed completely upon seeing the Village Head, with a tone of ingratiating and compliment, which she hadn’t shown to the others just before.

The Village Head frowned, “How come he suddenly got sick? Wasn’t he perfectly fine yesterday?”

“This illness struck suddenly; we were caught off guard. Last night, his father especially went to Zhen Mountain to invite a doctor to take a look. It was a fuss all night. It was probably because he saw something in the daytime that he shouldn’t have, got stimulated, and then turned out like this,” she explained.

“Going to the town to invite a doctor just for a fever, Lady, your household really is extravagant,” Muniang mocked coolly. She dared not say it was the village’s Doctor Chen who was invited to treat the illness, probably because she was afraid Doctor Chen might give them away.

Mrs. Liang unashamedly replied, “So what? We only have this precious son; shouldn’t we take good care of him? He hasn’t been sick for so many years and suddenly fell ill yesterday. It scared our whole family into unease. Doctor Chen is at best a country doctor, isn’t he? How can he compare to the experienced doctors in town? I only have this one son, and I really feared that he would fall into jeopardy in his hands.”

Heh, Mrs. Liang truly didn’t fear offending anyone. If Doctor Chen heard this, from then on, the Wang family would surely be blacklisted by him.

“Doctor Chen is a highly respected doctor in our village, you should not be so disrespectful! How many villagers has Doctor Chen treated? Could he really not cure such a minor fever?!” The Village Head’s tone held a severity.

Mrs. Liang hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, I was just anxious for my child. To think that my Shitou hasn’t been sick for so many years, only to fall ill yesterday because of Li Qinghe, it’s truly disheartening!”

The Village Head, with a frown, said, “Without any evidence, don’t speak nonsense. A woman’s reputation is not something to be destroyed so easily.”

Mrs. Liang cried out, “My son is the eyewitness! Such a young child, what lie could he tell? He must have spoken what he saw! Li Qinghe must have a man outside. I know my Shitou best; he never lies!”

Muniang sneered, “And yet he kept skipping school from his family and even acted like a bandit by stealing things! It all depends on who raises the child. You underestimate your Shitou too much!”
