Chapter 37 Lotus actually made a fool do these things?
"Damn it!"
In a fit of anger, Zhao Taohua slammed the long pole in her hand down hard. A wail was heard, and the pole immediately calmed down.
Qian and the others also regained their senses. Looking again, the long pole in Zhao Taohua's hand suddenly turned into a man with a mountain-like body and bulging muscles.
He had a pair of curved horns on his head, as black and shiny as ink jade, with the tips gleaming with a cold light, like two sharp blades.
His face was broad, his eyebrows were as black as ink, and his eyes were deep-set, like two burning embers, revealing cunning and sharpness.
His beard was thick and long, with each hair standing upright like a steel needle.
He was shirtless, revealing his incredibly large, bulging muscles, and wore loose trousers.
"Good heavens, it's a man!" Grandma Sun exclaimed in horror.
Just then, Zhou suddenly heard someone in the courtyard ask, "Shufen, how is Lianhua?"
Instantly, Zhou's heart jumped into her throat. How did these people get in?
She quickly ran out and closed the door to the main room, then stood in front of the threshold, preventing anyone from approaching.
Absolutely no one should be allowed to enter the house and see a man in Lotus's room!
"Lotus Maiden, we are only concerned about what kind of spirit has tainted Lotus?"
"Zhou, what just happened? It was like we were being controlled by something?"
"Yeah, was it made by that spirit that got involved with lotus flowers?"
Hearing the whispers in the courtyard, Madam Sun, forgetting her fear of the spirit, grabbed Zhao Taohua's hand and pleaded:
"Peach Blossom, we absolutely must not let him show up in front of everyone!"
Zhao Lianhua stared at the troll's human form, her eyes wide like saucers, and asked:
"Little Peach Blossom, what is this?"
Zhao Taohua replied: "Argumentative person."
With that, he clenched his fist, and the burly, two-person-tall, mountain-like troll transformed into a long, jet-black pole.
The three people inside the room stared wide-eyed: "A contrarian?"
Suddenly, Grandma Sun seemed to understand why Lianhua had been nitpicking and arguing with Matchmaker You after she arrived; it was all because of this argumentative woman.
Well, now the nitpicker has been caught by Peach Blossom. Next time, Lotus will definitely have a good time with Matchmaker You.
Just as Grandma Sun felt relieved, Madam Qian frowned: How could this nitpicker have been eaten?
Such a long pole, it looks like it's made of iron.
"Grandma, Sister Lotus, I've subdued the troll. I'm leaving now."
Just as the villagers in the courtyard were wondering what fruit Zhao Lianhua had eaten in the mountains that had gotten her tainted by the spirit, the main door of the house opened, and Zhao Taohua walked out, holding a long pole.
Zhao Taohua had a faint smile on her lips.
Even though she didn't say anything, anyone with eyes could see it!
Zhao Lianhua, who was inside the room, also reacted at this moment and shouted towards the direction of the main room:
"Grandma, we can't let her go out like this!"
At this moment, Grandma Sun suddenly realized something and hurriedly chased after her.
But it was too late; the long pole in Zhao Taohua's hand had already been seen by everyone.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Shenglin instantly felt like a cat that had spotted a fish, smelling its fishy odor.
He raised his voice and said, "Peach Blossom Sister, Lotus Sister, what kind of fruit from the mountains are you eating? It doesn't look like something that can grow on a tree, does it?"
Immediately, someone chimed in, "What fruit? I think it's more like a stick!"
"Isn't it said that Lotus Sister was tainted by a monster because she ate fruit from the mountains?"
So it seems that Lotus Sister actually harbored evil intentions, which is why she was tainted by this stick-like monster.
As Zhao Shenglin spoke, his mouth was practically splitting open with a wide grin.
Zhao Lianhua harbors evil intentions and is not as innocent and naive as she appears on the surface.
Her image collapsed, her reputation was ruined, and he got a wife for free!
At this moment, Zhao Shengjing, the younger sister of the mentally challenged Zhao Shengda, also spoke up:
“My brother said that Sister Lianhua gave him a piece of candy and asked him to spread the word in the village that Sister Xiangxiang smelled bad and that Brother Shenming helped Sister Taohua wipe her tears and bought her candied hawthorns in town.”
"what?"
"Lotus actually made an idiot do these things?"
For a moment, everyone in the courtyard was shocked. Some were still in disbelief, while others angrily rushed into the house to confront Zhao Lianhua.
"You Zhao Lianhua, you're so young, yet your heart is so vicious?"
Enraged, Jiang strode quickly toward Zhao Lianhua's room.
Her daughter Xiangxiang's reputation was ruined by this wretched woman!
Zhao Lianhua heard everything that happened outside, and she never expected the situation to turn out this way.
Just as her hands and feet were untied by the ropes, before she could even hide, Jiang rushed in front of her like a gust of wind, raising her hand to slap her hard across the face.
Zhao Lianhua turned deathly pale with fright!
Although she was usually a bit cunning, her methods were completely ineffective against Jiang, a straightforward and shrewish woman.
Moreover, her scheme to instigate the fool to spread rumors has now been exposed.
Just as Jiang's hand was about to fall, Zhou quickly stopped her: "Jiang Yanqiu, you actually believe what a little girl like Zhao Shengjing says?"
"Yes, Aunt Jiang, Jingjing heard it from the idiot, how can you believe it?"
I have no grudge against Xiangxiang, why would I want to ruin her reputation?
Zhao Lianhua's explanation made Jiang think. There was indeed no grudge between them. The only possible reason for their antagonism was that the Yang family was also quite satisfied with Xiangxiang.
She looked at Zhao Lianhua, wondering if this girl would ruin someone else's reputation just to steal a marriage.
Zhao Shenglin rushed into the house, originally worried that Jiang's fiery temper would hurt Zhao Lianhua, but he didn't expect to see such a scene when he came in.
“If Sister Lotus didn’t harbor evil intentions, how could she have gotten involved with that stick-like evil spirit? Fools don’t understand deception.”
Zhao Shenglin promptly reminded him and offered a suggestion.
Zhao Lianhua frowned and looked at him upon hearing this. How dare this good-for-nothing ruin her plans?
Sure enough, after he said that, Jiang immediately realized why the idiot had singled out her out of all the people in the village.
Yang Fengshou is a good catch, and his daughter is so desperate for a marriage that she would go to extreme lengths to ruin someone else's reputation.
Jiang raised her other hand and slapped Zhao Lianhua across the face:
"How could you be so vicious? You actually used such despicable means to ruin my Xiangxiang's reputation!"
In an instant, Zhao Lianhua's hair became disheveled, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she looked quite disheveled.
She shook her head in protest, "Aunt Jiang, I didn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Qian, standing to the side, glared angrily, pointed at her, and questioned her in a trembling voice:
"Lotus, what did my Peach Blossom do to you? Are you trying to spread rumors and ruin her reputation?"
She's your cousin, not even of marriageable age yet, and you're already using her reputation as a fool to ruin your love life!
A woman's reputation is a matter of life and death. Qian thought of how she had felt sorry for Zhao Lianhua earlier because her hands and feet were bruised from being tied with hemp rope. Now she just felt that it was deserved!
Seeing the way Qian Shi and the others were looking at her, Zhao Lianhua panicked. She shook her head frantically, tears welling in her eyes, and said:
"Second Aunt, listen to me, I really didn't, I'm just a fool making things up."
As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and fell like pearls from a broken string, evoking pity in the hearts of onlookers.
