I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 293: Lianhua is Going to Jump into the Well

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Lianhua is Going to Jump into the Well

Some sing the red face, some sing the white face.

Guo Xiuxin sighed and squatted down to help Chen Zhaodi up.

"Sister-in-law, don’t just sit there. Back then you, a single woman, raised several children through such tough times. Why trouble Lianhua now? You were once doing everything for your own kids, isn’t she doing the same?"

Chen Zhaodi’s lips quivered for a moment, not knowing what to say as she looked at Wang Lianhua.

"We are all women, we truly understand the struggles of women. If you really can’t stand Lianhua, let her take her three children and live separately, she’s still in our village, what are you worried about? If she mistreats the kids in the future, we all will support you, right?"

Chen Zhaodi looked at Daqing and Erqing, the remaining roots of Yonggang. Wang Lianhua was so young and could remarry at any time, and then her grandsons might end up changing their surname and becoming someone else’s sons.

If that happened, how could her son Yonggang rest in peace underground!

"Mother, mother, please don’t be confused! If Daqing and Erqing really leave with Wang Lianhua, would these kids even remember they are from the Lu Family?"

Chen Zhaodi jolted, quickly waving away Guo Xiuxin’s hand.

"No way, it definitely can’t happen. Daqing and Erqing must stay with the Lu Family. This is the Lu Family’s matter, you village officials shouldn’t interfere directly, otherwise I’ll go to the county and even protest at the County Government, even if my grandsons have to toil for the Lu Family for a lifetime, they must carry the Lu surname, not Wang."

Xifeng stood in front of Wang Lianhua, observing her mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law’s attitude, her heart felt cold. She had decided that once Wang Lianhua started living alone, she would promptly split from the family. The whole family relied on her salary yet treated their daughter-in-law like an outsider, how could it not be disheartening!

Shirley pushed from behind Wang Lianhua, who shifted her two children aside and sneered at Zhao Jingui and Chen Zhaodi.

"Alright, alright, Chen Zhaodi, I see now. Among the daughters-in-law in this household, you only regard Zhao Jingui as human. So eager to drive me away, isn’t it just to embezzle the things from the second household? Now forcing a split between me and my children, you want to force me to death, right? Fine, very well then, I’ll do as you wish, I’ll go die, I’ll go die, okay?"

She shouted angrily and ran straight towards the village entrance.

Shirley stuffed her bag into Daya’s arms and hurriedly followed.

"Lord, it’s terrible, Lianhua is going to jump into the well."

The two women ran one after the other towards the village entrance, bystanders didn’t have time to stop them, Lu Debang’s liver throbbed fiercely. Their Lu Family Village was currently a model village, and with officials from the Head Flower Factory visiting every few days, if it came out that a daughter-in-law was driven to suicide, his time as village chief would be over.

"Stop them, quickly stop them! What are you all doing, standing around? Hurry and stop them!"

The village chief’s shout snapped everyone back to reality, Daqing, Erqing and a few other children also rushed towards that direction.

"Mother, mother, don’t jump, mother, if you die, we will be motherless children, mother..."

"Wuu wuu wuu, mother, I want my mother, please come back!"

"Lianhua, you can’t be foolish, you still have three children, what can’t we discuss? Hurry back, we can all help you, Lianhua!"

........

Everyone rushed towards the village entrance, Guo Xiuxin ran a few steps, turned back to look at Chen Zhaodi and Zhao Jingui.

"Are you satisfied now? If you really drive Lianhua to her death, just wait, the village won’t let you off, nor will the commune and the county. You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair just prepare for jail!"

After saying that, she also hurried to the village entrance.

Chen Zhaodi and Zhao Jingui were trembling all over with fright. Wang Lianhua had never been so assertive before, and today, they too were provoked to anger. But they had never expected Wang Lianhua to suddenly decide to jump into the river—this was literally like roasting them mother and daughter-in-law on a rack!

Chen Zhaodi, being older, soon calmed down.

"Let’s go, quickly follow her, we can’t let Erqing’s family actually suffer a tragedy."

"Mom, what should we do? If Wang Lianhua really dies, are we really going to end up in prison? Sob, sob, sob, Mom, I’m still young, I don’t want to be in prison, your grandchildren are still little, they still need their mother by their side!"

"Get out of the way, stop talking nonsense. If it weren’t for your stirring up trouble, I wouldn’t have ended up clashing with Erqing’s family like this. If something happens to Erqing’s family, I swear I’ll make your brother-in-law divorce you."

After uttering these harsh words, she quickly got up and staggered toward the village entrance.

Wang Lianhua ran all the way to the well, under the nearby tree shade, a group of elderly men and women were chatting. Seeing Wang Lianhua leaning on the well, they were puzzled for a moment.

"Don’t jump, quick, stop her, Lianhua’s going to jump into the well."

The elderly gentlemen and ladies were so frightened that they threw their walking sticks and all trotted toward Wang Lianhua.

"Lord, Lianhua, don’t make any rash decisions, you’re so young, why seek death?"

"Exactly, Lianhua, our village only has this one well. If you jump in, how could we dare to drink the water!"

"Hey there, Chang Hong, hurry over here, Daqing’s mother is about to jump into the well. Look at her, she’s so thin, how can she have so much strength?"

Lu Changhong saw Wang Lianhua bow her head and desperately try to jump into the well, about to break free from several elderly women and men’s grasp, and he quickly ran over and reached out to pull her.

Wang Lianhua, in fact, was just putting on a show. Yu Xueli was slow following behind, clutching her stomach, bending over, and gasping for air.

"Oh dear, hurry and stop Lianhua. I’m getting a stitch from running, it hurts like hell, I can’t run anymore."

Lu Debang and some villagers saw her looking ill and, unable to take care of her, rushed to help pull Wang Lianhua instead.

Unfortunately, the area around the well was slippery with water, Wang Lianhua’s foot slipped, and she plunged headlong into it. At the critical moment, Lu Changhong caught her around the waist, tipping over and plunging half of his body as well.

"Hold tight, Chang Hong, you must hold on tight, don’t let go."

Before falling in, Lu Changhong hooked one foot around the well’s edge, and many villagers were so scared they dared not make a sound. Still, someone reacted quickly, grabbing hold of Lu Changhong’s legs, one after another, coming to help.

"Hold on, be careful here, careful, don’t let go, make sure you hold onto the person firmly."

"Sob, sob, sob, why do this, Lianhua? Your husband is dead, and good days are still ahead, why seek death over this?"

"What can she do? She’s being worn down by her mother-in-law, who insists on driving her out; there’s no way out. What mother can bear to part with her children? This is forcing Lianhua to her death."

......

Wang Lianhua screamed in terror, but did not forget to shout a few times, "I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore."

Lu Debang, trembling all over, shouted to the two swaying figures in the well: "Lianhua, hold on, the village will support you. From now on, you can live with Daqing, Erqing, and Yaoyao alone. If anyone dares to trouble you, they’re making it difficult for the whole village."

Lord, there can’t be any loss of life, or else their village’s reputation would be completely ruined, completely ruined!
