The villagers had already noticed the commotion from afar, so the moment they heard Wang Muxiao’s shout, they rushed over to see what was going on.
Within five minutes, a huge crowd had gathered in front of Liu Piao’s house. Seeing this, Zhang Ermu immediately stood in front of Liu Piao to shield her from their scrutiny.
"Wang Muxiao, you are talking nonsense! When did I sever my relationship with my daughter?" Liu Chang shouted angrily.
"Am I talking nonsense or not, you know it yourself. What’s more, the team leaders and village elders already witnessed the separation. Liu Piao also has the document with the official stamp on it. Are you saying that everyone was talking nonsense?" Wang Muxiao said calmly.
"Uncle Liu, you said it yourself back then that as long as Liu Piao married into the Huang family, she would no longer have anything to do with your family. So, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"As her father, can’t I come to say a few words? As a married woman, she is still involved with Zhang Ermu. Even if she doesn’t feel ashamed, what she is doing is a crime!" Liu Chang said with a snort.
Hearing this, Liu Piao sneered and said, "You really are my good father. You keep saying that you are doing this for my own good, but have you considered that your words today could put me behind bars?"
Pointing at her, Liu Chang said, "If you dare to do it, then you must bear the consequences."
"Liu Chang, you are spreading rumors! Ah Piao and that man already divorced five years ago. She is single, and I’m unmarried. Why can’t we be together?" Zhang Ermu asked coldly.
Hearing this, Wang Xiu snorted and replied, "Who knows if she really divorced or not? Without any evidence, she could say whatever she wanted."
"Why should I show evidence to you? Who do you think you are?" Liu Piao asked coldly.
Thinking that she had found Liu Piao’s weakness, Wang Xiu said loudly, "Hah! Everyone, you be the judge. If Liu Piao is really divorced, she should have a divorce certificate. She could show it to everyone to avoid misunderstandings."
"But instead of showing the evidence, she keeps making excuses and refuses to prove it. Isn’t it because she is still married and involved in an extramarital affair with Zhang Ermu?"
When the villagers heard this, some of them nodded in agreement. Rather than avoiding the matter, wouldn’t it be faster to show the divorce certificate and clear up the misunderstanding?
Hearing Wang Xiu’s words, Wang Muxiao laughed and asked, "Aunt Wang, you keep pressuring Liu Piao to show evidence. But as the accuser, shouldn’t you be the one providing proof that Liu Piao is still married?"
"Also where is your evidence of her so-called extramarital affair? If you can’t provide any proof, aren’t you falsely accusing a good comrade and ruining her reputation?"
Looking at Liu Chang and Wang Xiu coldly, she added, "Both of you keep claiming that you are doing this for Liu Piao’s own good, but all I see is you trying to push her to ruin."
