The Supporting Male Protagonist Becomes Life's Winner [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 12: The Soft Rice Man Who Cheated(1)

Wu Jiaze is a junior in college this year. He has been away from Peach Blossom Village for nearly three years. During these three years, except for the first two months of entering university, when he saved half of his allowance to send back to Rui Hongmei, he unilaterally cut off contact with his wife afterward, wholeheartedly pursuing Gao Yinyin.

He really didn't care about Rui Hongmei and their child.

If it weren't for Gao Yinyin's reminder, he would have long forgotten about Rui Hongmei and their child.

After breakfast, Yan Su wandered around the county. In this era of underdeveloped commodity economy, he selected some gifts for Rui Hongmei and her child from the department store and returned to Peach Blossom Village.

These three years have been tough for Rui Hongmei. Logically speaking, her father is the head of the production team, her eldest brother is the accountant in the village, and her second brother works in the town. Even without a husband, with the protection of her family, she and her son could live well.

But unfortunately, the men in Rui's family are all chauvinists, and there has never been any concern for girls in the family. Rui Hongmei is the eldest daughter of her mother, who was born after her eldest sister-in-law entered the family, and her eldest brother's nephew is only two years younger than her.

Although Rui Hongmei was loved by her mother since childhood, her father and two brothers did not treat her well. Of course, with her mother's protection, she didn't need to have a good relationship with her father and brothers.

But just half a year after Wu Jiaze returned to the city, Rui's mother passed away due to illness. With Rui's family losing the person protecting Rui Hongmei, her father treated her like an outsider. Both her sisters-in-law resented her because their mother-in-law favored this younger sister-in-law, especially when Rui's mother passed away, Rui's family cut off contact with her.

Rui's second sister-in-law is sharp-tongued, not only spreading rumors and gossip outside but also claiming that Rui's mother left a large sum of money for her before she died, forcing her to hand over the money.

Rui Hongmei had never seen her mother's private money. Making money in the countryside is not easy. Most families are happy just to have enough to eat. Who has extra savings? Even if Rui's mother had some ability, she would only use it to support her daughter's needs. How could there be private money left to her?

But with three people confirming it, Rui's second sister-in-law spread the news widely in the village. Rumors began to circulate, saying that Rui Hongmei was greedy for her mother's private money. Even the old lady from the village leader's family indirectly advised her to return the money to her brother and sister-in-law. After all, she was a girl who had married out; it's not good to use her natal family's money.

Rui Hongmei was furious but couldn't defend herself.

Since Rui's family cut off ties with her, her situation in the village has become worse and worse. Unable to extort money from her, Rui's second sister-in-law instigated her to remarry and introduced her to her maternal cousin, Jin Kangsheng.

Jin Kangsheng is a widower who has had two wives before. He has a tendency to be violent and enjoys beating his wives. Both of his previous wives were beaten to the point where they couldn't get out of bed and eventually died from illness. He lived alone with his five children, living a very rough life. His family had long wanted to find him a new wife.

But Jin Kangsheng's reputation for beating his wives spread throughout the village, so no woman dared to marry him. As a result, he remained single for several years.

Of course, Rui Hongmei was unwilling to marry him, but with her father and husband ignoring her, she was bullied and felt powerless. Taking advantage of her vulnerability, Rui's second sister-in-law deliberately created opportunities for Jin Kangsheng to get close to her, such as taking Jin Kangsheng to Rui Hongmei's house to chat when there was nothing else to do, letting Jin Kangsheng get close to Wu Hao, bribing Wu Hao with snacks...

Wu Hao is already seven years old this year. He is a smart child and can see through the plans of Rui's second sister-in-law and Jin Kangsheng.

Jin Kangsheng's reputation for beating his wives is well known in the village, and Wu Hao, being precocious, naturally understands what it means to beat one's wife. Thinking that his mother is going to marry such a man, he becomes angry and even fights with Jin Kangsheng's second son. Although he didn't win, he didn't lose either, so he didn't embarrass his mother.

The mother and son live in fear in Peach Blossom Village, their only hope being that one day Wu Jiaze will come back to take them to the city.

Rui Hongmei originally thought this was a luxury, after all, once educated youth return to the city, they rarely think about their wives and children in the countryside. However, one noon, while she was having lunch with Wu Hao at home, the village leader brought people in abruptly. "Hongmei, your husband is back from the city!"

Rui Hongmei and Wu Hao were both dumbfounded.

The young man followed behind the village leader, wearing a white shirt, handsome and tall. Rui Hongmei almost didn't recognize him. After all, after three years back in the village, Wu Jiaze's skin, which had been tanned in the countryside, had become fair again. He looked elegant and gentle, just like the young cadres in the city.

"Hongmei, Hao Hao, I'm back." Facing the mother and son, Yan Su smiled.

These past few days, Rui's second sister-in-law has been in a bad mood. She has been scheming to get Rui Hongmei to marry Jin Kangsheng for half a year. Who would have thought that Rui Hongmei was so stubborn? Despite all attempts to persuade her, she adamantly refuses to remarry.

And there's Wu Hao, that little slicker. Who knows whose side he's on.

Rui's second sister-in-law wanted her cousin to have some contact with Rui Hongmei, even if there was no real relationship, as long as they got close, rumors would spread in the village, and spit could force Rui Hongmei to remarry. But Wu Hao was always wary of Jin Kangsheng. Jin Kangsheng had been pestering Rui Hongmei for several months, but he couldn't get close to her.

The night before last, she advised her cousin to sneak into Rui Hongmei's house and ruin her innocence to prevent this situation from dragging on.

Who knew that as soon as Jin Kangsheng entered Rui Hongmei's house, he was splashed with filth from the toilet by Wu Hao, that little brat, and then his head was smashed with

 a hammer.

Jin Kangsheng was also a lecher who coveted Rui Hongmei's good looks (she was the most beautiful girl in the village before she got married). After the wound on his head was stitched up at the town health center, he came to Rui's second sister-in-law with a gloomy face and discussed quickly settling the marriage with Rui Hongmei.

Rui's second sister-in-law wanted to use the wound on Jin Kangsheng's head to extort money from Rui Hongmei. If she couldn't come up with the money, she would have to agree to marry him.

The two of them came to Rui Hongmei's house with great momentum, but they saw many people gathered there.

Rui's second sister-in-law hadn't figured out the situation yet, but she was happy because she could use this opportunity to ruin Rui Hongmei's innocence in front of the villagers. Jin Kangsheng was injured in her house late at night, alone with a woman. If this matter was brought up, who would believe that they had nothing to do with each other?

She cleared her throat, ignoring the handsome man next to Rui Hongmei, and pulled Jin Kangsheng forward with malicious intent. "Hongmei, I heard Kangsheng say that when he came to your house the night before last, his head was smashed open by Hao Hao, and he had to get over a dozen stitches at the town health center, which cost a lot of money. Shouldn't you compensate him for the medical expenses?"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar.

They had come to see the excitement because Wu Jiaze had returned from the city, but they didn't expect Rui's second sister-in-law to act so recklessly and deliberately bring up the incident of Jin Kangsheng going to Rui Hongmei's house late at night.

Everyone knew who Jin Kangsheng was. Recently, the Jin and Rui families had been obsessed with trying to match him with Rui Hongmei. Any sober-minded villager who heard this would say that Rui's second sister-in-law was doing something wrong.

After all, she was the petted younger sister-in-law of the deceased mother-in-law. How could she treat her like this?

But this kind of matter involving relationships between men and women was not something outsiders could intervene in, so everyone's eyes turned to Yan Su, waiting for his reaction.

What reaction could Yan Su have?

In the plot, Wu Jiaze never wanted to return to Peach Blossom Village. He happened to meet Rui Hongmei's eldest brother in the county and asked him to tell Rui Hongmei to pack up her belongings and bring her child directly to the county to meet him.

Rui Hongmei's eldest brother saw that he was dressed nicely and thought he had made a name for himself, so he didn't dare to say much and personally went back to the village to bring his sister and nephew to the county to meet him.

So Wu Jiaze was completely unaware of what had happened in Peach Blossom Village.

But after watching the plot, Yan Su understood Rui Hongmei's character very well. If she wanted to remarry, she would definitely marry another man openly and aboveboard, rather than sneak around with a man in her own home.

Moreover, Jin Kangsheng had been smashed in the head by Wu Hao. If Rui Hongmei really had an affair with him and treated him well, how could Wu Hao treat him like this?

Rui's second sister-in-law's words were simply slandering Rui Hongmei's innocence out of thin air. Yan Su couldn't allow her to throw dirt on Rui Hongmei's name. He immediately stood in front of Rui Hongmei and Wu Hao, protecting the mother and son, and looked coldly at Rui's second sister-in-law. "It's late at night. What's a normal man doing at my house? And getting his head smashed by my son? I just sent fifty yuan to my family last month. Could it be that he came to steal money?"

After speaking, he turned to Lin, the village leader who was standing by watching the excitement. "Lin, when I was a young educated youth, the village atmosphere was very good. How come, after I left for only three years, people dare to steal and rob, even daring to steal from widows and orphans? This kind of behavior is too despicable. We must report it to the police. Fellow villagers, please bear witness today and help me take this morally corrupt man to the police station. I'll treat everyone to a feast later!"

Lin, who had been an onlooker, was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Yan Su, whom he hadn't seen in years, to suddenly become so eloquent.

Rui's second sister-in-law wanted to slander Rui Hongmei and Jin Kangsheng without any evidence, so Yan Su dared to retaliate by accusing Jin Kangsheng of theft.

And he wanted to take him to the police station.

Rui's second sister-in-law was also dumbfounded. From Yan Su's words, she recognized him as Wu Jiaze, who had abandoned Rui Hongmei and returned to the city.

She still wondered why Wu Jiaze had returned to Peach Blossom Village. Could it be that he still had feelings for Rui Hongmei and their child?

But now she couldn't afford to think too much. She led her cousin over to say those words with the intention of forcing Rui Hongmei to marry Jin Kangsheng, but she didn't expect Wu Jiaze to come back and catch her off guard.

Wu Jiaze was a college student from the city, and he looked like a talent. Compared to her cousin, there was simply no comparison.

Seeing him protect Rui Hongmei like that and even attempting to take her cousin to the police station, Rui's second sister-in-law knew they were in trouble.

Everything else aside, but the crime of robbery is very serious nowadays. If he were taken to the police station and implicated her cousin in the attempted rape of Rui Hongmei, Jin Kangsheng and his family would be finished. He had five children who would depend on her.

Thinking of this, Rui's second sister-in-law felt a chill down her spine.
