Chapter 647 Her husband is dead

Hui Qing's face flushed as she looked at Su Wan and then in a slightly embarrassed voice made a sound that could be counted as her condemning Su Wan for saying that. " Mrs Lin, you don't have to say that to my son, I know that you are my employer and my son did something wrong but there is no reason for you to embarrass us like that——"
" Do you have any idea what would have happened if my husband wasn't as quick as agile as he was just now? What if he was a beat too slow, do you know what would have happened?" said Su Wan sharply ignoring the attempts of Hui Qing as she tried to gain sympathy, last night she was too slow to react and gave Feng Zihang a chance to recover, not anymore. " With your son's height that stone would have hit my abdomen, I am still in the middle of my third month and the pregnancy is yet to be properly stabilised, if that rock would have hit my belly then who would have been responsible for it? Wouldn't I have lost my child and for what? For some baseless rumours that you all are stupid to believe in?"
" But nothing happened——"
" Nothing happened?" sneered Su Wan as she looked around the villagers and they all lowered their eyes as if they were scared about being scalded. " Just because nothing happened, everything is all right? You too are talking like Feng Zihang that rotten arse who couldn't even protect his wife, because we are rich we should have let him go and now you are saying that just because nothing happened, we should let you go now? What if something might have happened let's say would you have taken the responsibility of killing my child?"
"I——"
"No, you wouldn't have, you would have said that your son was a child and didn't know anything better, that's why I should just shut up and shove off right? Because there is nothing I could have done, after that?"
Hui Qing's face turned red, she really would have said something like that in fact when she heard the women around her let out a soft shriek, she already thought of saying this to Su Wan, she couldn't be called a murderer no matter what kind of spawn Su Wan had in her belly and she couldn't let her son be called a heartless brat either, so she was definitely going to say something along the line.
But now that she was called out by Su Wan there was nothing that she could say to defend herself and looked down at the ground.
Seeing that Hui Qing wasn't replying, Su Wan's heart turned cold, as she loudly said, " The resident of this village is ridiculous! I and my husband helped you all rise along with us, I am not the one who would boast about my good deeds much less mention it but you all are simply too much! How can you even do something like that? It's fine if you are not supporting me, I am not asking but the least you can do is be neutral and stay away. Did I ask you all to come to stand in my support? Did I ask you all for anything? Is it so hard to keep your mouth shut and just go on your business? At least before spouting nonsense about me and my husbands, just remember where you all were a year ago and where you are now, do you think with your earnings you would have been ever able to afford a pig hock? It only became possible when I and my husbands started to pay you all over the marginal price set by the buyers in the town, how can you all be so shameless! As to live and eat comfortably with the money that we are paying you all and then try to murder my child?"
Su Wan would have said nothing but seeing how cold and detached the villagers were being towards the fact that she was a woman with a child, she couldn't help but curse out loud. If someone else was in her place, she would have cracked under the pressure by now, it was only Su Wan who was strong enough to hold on and stand straight with all the rumours and chatter that was going around her.
Her gaze darted to Hui Qing and all the women who were friends with her, she couldn't say much but Su Wan could definitely say that a year ago when these women were not employed by her family, they were so thin and dressed in rags that anyone who saw them with their sunken cheeks filled and decent clothing wouldn't recognise them anymore and that happened because she was the one who gave them the opportunity to rise from the bottom and become something more than the ragged version of themselves but who would have thought that ——
Su Wan shook her head and threw the rock on the ground before turning her head to the burnt crops and saying to Lin Chen completely disregarding everyone around her after that, " We need to take care of these burnt parts and dig the soil to at least three layers before applying a generous amount of fertilisers on it——"
The rest of the time when Su Wan was there in the fields no one dared to so much as breathe anymore, after being scolded like that the villagers couldn't say anything for a long time and Su Wan was able to work in peace but that was only until the evening.
Once she and Lin Chen returned home with the Feng brothers and closed their doors, they heard loud screams and shouts coming from outside the village. There was a lot of cursing, all directed at Su Wan who wanted to see what was happening outside but Lin Chen stopped her this time around saying that she shouldn't go outside when the villagers were this excited, fortunately, Lin Jing and Lin Yan returned home, though they were a bit dishevelled.
" What happened?" seeing their condition with their clothes torn and faces scratched, Su Wan hurriedly rushed out and asked.
" Hui Qing's husband is dead."
