บท 10: Chapter 10: Reckless Talk Invites Disaster
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
The crowd watching opened up a gap, and the middle-aged man who was called out looked embarrassed.
"This... What does your man's death have to do with me?"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help frowning.
Who didn't know that, over a decade ago, Wang Jinshun accidentally fell into the water, and Yue Dashan, who happened to pass by, dove in to save him without even taking off his clothes.
Wang Jinshun struggled desperately, causing both of them to be unable to surface.
Yue Dashan used his last breath to push the man ashore, but he himself never made it back up.
Lin Chunju looked at him coldly, her gaze making Wang Jinshun's head hang lower and lower.
He felt guilty.
It was true that Yue Dashan had died for him; at the time, Lin Chunju was pregnant and taking care of three other children.
The head of the production team said Yue Dashan was the only labor force in the family.
With him gone, it was very hard for the widow and orphans to survive in those times, so they made Wang Jinshun give half of his work points and food to the Yue Family every month.
Wang Jinshun immediately backtracked, claiming that Yue Dashan didn't save him, that he had been swimming in the river, and Yue Dashan drowned himself by being a busybody, so it had nothing to do with him.
He felt he had done nothing wrong, although Lin Chunju had given birth prematurely due to this incident, and the child that was born, Yue Jiannan, was not healthy, but after all, didn't he survive?
Now aren't all members of the Yue Family living well? What fault did he have!
Thinking of this, Wang Jinshun raised his head, "Yue Dashan drowned in the river because of his own misfortune."
The wife of Er Gou immediately raised her head upon hearing this, as if she had backing.
"Did you hear that, what did I say wrong? If it weren't for your hard fate, could Yue Dashan have left us so early?"
Lin Chunju stared at Wang Jinshun, "Alright, then swear an oath that Yue Dashan really died because of his own bad luck, and it had nothing to do with you."
Everyone around them stared at Wang Jinshun.
There wasn't an old person in Daye Village who didn't know about this matter.
At first, Wang Jinshun was extremely grateful to Lin Chunju, telling everyone how Yue Dashan had saved his life, but once the team leader asked the Wang Family to give up some food, he immediately changed his tune.
If it weren't for Lin Chunju's determination, the people of the Yue Family might have starved to death by now.
As Wang Jinshun felt the surrounding eyes on him, his heart went through bouts of embarrassment, quickly turning to annoyance.
Swear an oath then, as it's not binding anyway.
"Fine, I swear, Yue Dashan drowned in the river because of his own misfortune, and if I'm lying, may I break my legs."
Some of the younger people in the crowd who did not know the true events of the past heard this and were confused.
"He dares to say such things, it must really have nothing to do with him."
"Actually, looking at Widow Lin's high cheekbones, she might be a husband killer."
Nobody noticed the flicker of gold in the eyes of Yue Qingqing, who was in Wang Xiaoni's arms, her fingers hidden within the swaddling clothes forming a spell.
Heart-Seeking Curse.
The simplest spell in the Cultivation World, it would make the oath come true.
There is cause and effect in the Tao, and irresponsible words must bring disaster.
With Wang Jinshun's performance, Er Gou's wife became aggressive again.
"From now on, everyone in the village should stay away from Widow Lin, be careful not to be cursed by her."
Zhang, the village chief, said angrily, "The government has long said that we should break free from feudal superstitions, and from now on, no one is allowed to say such things!"
Er Gou's wife pursed her lips and, not daring to confront the village chief, picked up the basin from the ground and went back inside.
Her hair still disheveled, but she looked like a cocky, victorious rooster.
Wang Xiaoni trembled with anger, leaning against Lin Chunju.
"Mom, don't listen to her nonsense; your fate is very good, and it will get better and better."
Lin Chunju patted her back.
"You go back inside quickly, don't catch a cold."
Village Chief Zhang sighed and dispersed the crowd.
"Alright, go about your business, don't just stand here foolishly."
Turning back, he consoled Lin Chunju, "Sister-in-law of the Yue Family, don't mind these words, the events of the past… sigh, justice is in people's hearts."
Yue Qingqing pursed her little lips and struggled to poke her head out from the swaddling, watching the direction Wang Jinshun left.
Wang Jinshun's retreating figure was enveloped in darkness.
