Cannon Fodder Strategy

"Originally, this marriage will be over if it doesn't happen, but there is a god who looks up and down. Aren't you afraid of retribution one day if you talk nonsense like this?" After hearing Lily's words, Mrs. Liu felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look into her eyes. "Now that things have happened, even if the marriage fails, I will not bear this reputation. I have no idea how Duan Guilan wants to go to the painting studio. I have never met Shen Xiucai. It is just because of my mother's order that I was a matchmaker. Yan, that's why we decided to get married. Whether Shen Xiucai goes to the land of fireworks or not has nothing to do with me. Don't think that you think that Pan An is the reincarnation of Pan An, a literary and romantic person. After all, you are just a young scholar. Why should I harm myself for someone like you?"

Shen Tengwen's face turned livid after hearing what Lily said, but Lily continued: "You treat yourself like a treasure, but you never thought that if it weren't for your parents' orders, I wouldn't necessarily want to marry you. I would get carried away with my fame. , I'm afraid if you continue to study, you will have to forget your last name. You have no distinction between grains, industrious body, well-developed limbs, and simple mind. Your book has gone into the dog's belly! You are also a scholar, I guess you are just a blind cat. It’s just a dead rat.”

"You think you are so great that you have to find someone to monitor you? You have no money or power, and you don't look manly. There are so many people in the world who can read and study. You are neither outstanding nor have a slim figure. I'm afraid you're not as strong as me, but you're saying that I'm going to keep an eye on you even before I'm married? I advise you to look back in the mirror. If it weren't for Duan Guilan, would I be able to like you?"

After Lily finished speaking, she stared at Shen Tengwen coldly. Shen Tengwen was so angry that he was trembling with anger at her words. His face was livid, but he opened his mouth. Speechless. If he didn't like Lily at first, it was because he disliked her bad reputation, which might bring harm to him, and now he heard her speak harshly. But he really hated her.

But Lily didn't care about that at this moment. She spoke loudly and loudly to the people outside:

"My mother speaks out of conscience. My neighbors have watched me grow up. She also knows the situation of our sisters. My mother feels pity for my sister who lost her father when she was young. She loves her like the apple of her eye. She is reluctant to say a single word if she gets into trouble. I stay in Buzhuang every day and spend very little time with Duan Guilan. How can I have deep feelings for Duan Guilan? Now in order to protect Duan Guilan's reputation, he even wants to tarnish my reputation. This talented scholar of the Shen family was originally I thought he was so smart. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Although I disdain to marry him now, I don't want to endure it. Please bear witness for me!"

Although Lily's tone of voice was stronger now, in the eyes of the neighbors, Ms. Liu was too irritating just now, so it's no wonder she couldn't bear it. After all, the reputation is ruined. Even for a lifetime, Liu was indeed too partial for Duan Guilan. Everyone nodded with sympathy and pity: "That's right, Lily is the one we have grown up with and has a docile temperament. It is impossible for her to do such a thing." Someone around said something, and many people nodded one after another.

The irrelevant people around her knew how to speak truthfully, but Mrs. Liu kept her eyes open and told lies. Shen Tengwen listened to so many people talking. But I don’t believe it. He looked like everyone was being deceived:

"If you say yes, it's true. If you say no, then it's not. Now that the second lady has been beaten like this and can't open her mouth, naturally only you can say everything."

"She deserves to be beaten! I have been working in this embroidery village since I was eleven years old, and now she has caused such a big disaster. She has ruined all my hard work for six or seven years. If I can't beat her to death, it is considered a light thing!" What's more, this is a family matter of my Duan family. You have a foreign surname, what does it have to do with you? Get out!"

Seeing her chasing people away, Shen Tengwen didn't move. Instead, he sneered: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. I'm afraid you feel guilty now? I..." Before he could finish his words, Lily couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the painting from before. The woman from Chunfang used the scissors to slap Duan Guilan's mouth. She raised her hand and waved it at Shen Tengwen: "Get out of here! What grudges do I have with your surname Shen? You are ruining my reputation by talking nonsense in public today. I will fight for this Even if I don't care about my life, I will die with you!" She suddenly got angry, and Shen Tengwen was startled. Seeing that she was poking him with scissors, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block her.

He was right-handed, and Lily was determined to teach Shen Tengwen a lesson, so the scissors targeted an acupuncture point in his palm and scratched it hard.

There was a "chick" sound, and a scream came from Shen Tengwen's mouth. The blood was cut open by the sharp scissors and spilled out all at once. Shen Tengwen was in severe pain and retracted his hand tremblingly. The palm of his hand opened a gash of about seven or eight inches, and the bones were clearly visible. Shen Tengwen was shaking all over in pain. At this time, he was so frightened that his legs softened and he sat down on the ground.

Such a worthless man actually dared to imitate other heroes and save a beautiful woman just now. There was sarcasm in Lily's eyes, but she made a desperate look on her face and rushed towards him. Amid the screams, Shen Tengwen's face turned pale, and he was trembling as he tried to crawl out: "I killed someone, help!" His so-called integrity, under the threat of the scissors, had long been thrown away.

Mrs. Liu came to her senses after hearing his call, and hurriedly tried to stop her, but her legs and feet were not very agile, and the pain was even worse when she moved around. Lily pretended to be unwilling, and Mrs. Liu was deeply afraid. The young master of the family died here, and if the eldest daughter's reputation is ruined and she really dies with him, she is afraid that she and Duan Guilan will not be able to escape even if they survive, so she cried: "I am talking nonsense, I know this The matter has nothing to do with you, just put the scissors away quickly and talk about it carefully if you have anything to say."

As soon as she finished shouting these words, Lily seemed to gradually calm down.

Sitting on the ground, Shen Tengwen was shaking constantly. His lower body was covered with water stains, and a lot of water stains were dragged under his body. There was a smell of urine in the cloth shop.

Although the farce just now frightened everyone in Hua Chunfang, seeing how useless Shen Tengwen was at this time, everyone couldn't help but show sarcasm on their faces: "He is still a scholar, but he is less courageous than that mouse. It’s so funny!” Although Shen Tengwen’s body was wet, the water stains were so fresh that anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he had just been frightened to the point of incontinence.

After today, this husband of the Shen family will really be famous in Huaicheng. In addition to becoming a scholar at the age of eighteen, I am afraid he will also have to add a great achievement. He stood up for women, but he did not have the courage.

After watching such a good show, the woman in Hua Chunfang became impatient: "Okay, okay, are you finished or not? I don't care about your family affairs. It has nothing to do with who gives advice on this matter. I just want to ask, You have to pay for my Huachunfang. There are all kinds of soft goods in it, as well as the shipyard itself. The girls fell into the water and were frightened. Many materials and ornaments were missing. They also need to be sober. They don’t have hundreds of taels of silver. This matter will not be settled clearly, otherwise I will send you to see the officials and the whole family will have their heads chopped off!"

At first, Mrs. Liu was still thinking about settling her youngest daughter's marriage. When she heard that she would have to pay hundreds of taels of silver, it was like a thunderbolt. She couldn't remember anything about the marriage. Just now, she was worried that something might happen to Shen Tengwen, but now she couldn't remember it at all. Those, the words "hundreds of taels of silver" echoed in my mind, and for a moment I felt like the world was spinning and my face was ashen.

This matter cannot be ignored. There were too many witnesses today. After confirming that the matter was true, it was impossible for Liu not to admit it even if he wanted to. The people in Huachunfang made this fuss and threatened to kill Yu Yin within half a month, then they twisted their waists and led the people away.

The sky was getting dark, and the people watching the excitement gradually dispersed. Today's incident was so big that even the Shen family knew about it and rushed over to pull Shen Tengwen back who didn't want to leave at first. Liu Shiqiang braced herself and ordered Lily to close the store: "Let the store door down first..."

But now, Lily has become more and more impatient with Mr. Liu ever since she favored Duan Guilan. At this time, he listened to her instructions and pretended not to hear, and turned around and entered the inner courtyard. Madam Liu was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She pushed herself up, endured the pain in her ankles, and limped to lock the door of the store. In the middle of the darkness, she watched Guilan dying as she was being painted by Chunfang. The man was thrown into the pile of cloth and couldn't help crying when he thought of what happened today.

Lily went back to the backyard by herself and cooked rice to fill her stomach. Today's quarrel was equivalent to a rift between her and Mr. Liu, so naturally she no longer had to cook for the whole family as before. When Ms. Liu dragged Duan Guilan in, she saw Lily's cold face. Although she wanted to get angry, she felt guilty thinking about what happened today.

Duan Guilan couldn't even cry, she just collapsed on Mrs. Liu's body. She was injured on her face, but her body was fine. But because it was the first time she had been beaten so severely, she was paralyzed with fear. Mrs. Liu herself had weak legs and feet, so it was very difficult to carry her. When the mother and daughter entered the backyard, they happened to see Lily finishing washing and preparing to go back to the room. Although Ms. Liu was a little shy to see her eldest daughter, this time Er saw Lily, but still said bravely: "Wait a moment, come with me, I have something to discuss with you."

Duan Guilan's face was beaten to a pulp. The painter from Chunfang hated her to the core and was angry that she dared to beat him. At that time, he took a pair of scissors and slapped her mouth. Before, it was only severely swollen, but now when he looked closely, his skin and flesh were so rotten. It was late, and Mrs. Liu was too busy to hire a doctor, so she had to cry desperately.

The mother and daughter sat next to each other in the main room, both of them silent. Duan Guilan's face was swollen as if it were a bubble, her eyes were narrowed to a slit, and she couldn't open them. Lily sat for a while and said impatiently:

"If nothing happens, I'm going back to my room."

"Slow down." Mrs. Liu didn't know how to talk to her at first, but when she heard her words, she became a little anxious: "You also know what happened today. There is nothing you can do about what my mother said. My sister was not sensible today and caused a scene in the painting studio. Her reputation has been ruined and it is hard to let go..."
