Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 206: Qin Kaize’s Limitless Indulgence

"We now suspect your identity is problematic. You are not allowed to go anywhere except stay here. If you try to escape, it will only confirm that you are a suspicious individual with ulterior motives." Her threat was delivered with an unhurried pace.

She originally planned to be honest and avoid conflicts while in the village.

But since Uncle Xia was clearly going to deal with Wu Xuezhen, why bother finding a lenient excuse?

The re-education location wasn’t in the village anyway, so it would be better if she never came back.

The harsher the accusation, the worse it would be to send her to a farm for reformation, which was far worse than the hardships of this rural area.

Anyway, if her current actions would have any negative impact, Qin Kaize and Uncle Xia would definitely stop her.

Since they didn’t stop her, it indicated there was no problem with sending her away.

Su Yijia, to be sure, specifically looked at Qin Kaize.

The moment her gaze fell on him, the man’s originally grim eyes softened.

He transformed from a fierce beast to a warm golden retriever.

"Don’t worry, we definitely won’t let her off easily. We can use her as an example." Qin Kaize’s relaxed eyes conveyed a warm, comforting intent.

Su Yijia immediately regained her fighting spirit, looking disdainfully at Wu Xuezhen, who was slumped on the ground.

When Gao Huabin brought the village chief over, the latter’s face was stiff with anger.

But to please Xia Weiguo and the others, he didn’t dare to say a good word for Wu Xuezhen.

Instead, he righteously declared, "I’ve always felt there’s something wrong with Comrade Wu! Since she came to our village, she’s been very friendly with the men here, always asking them to help with her duties.

Luckily, you discovered her problem in time, otherwise, who knows how much damage she would have caused our village."

Wu Xuezhen never expected that the village chief wouldn’t plead for her.

Instead, he kicked her when she was down.

Terrified, her gaze darted frantically among the people.

She screamed in fury, "You’re framing me! You’re all framing me!"

"Shut up! If you think someone’s framing you, tell it to the investigators yourself." The village chief glared at her impatiently.

Then he continued to smile obsequiously at Xia Weiguo, "Leader, you see, Comrade Wu can’t really be considered one of us. We didn’t know she had such malicious intentions."

"I understand, you’ve been deceived by her. Rest assured, she’s her, and the village is the village. If we fall into her trap, wouldn’t we be playing into the enemy’s hands?" Xia Weiguo’s words carried a hint of affirmation.

The village chief immediately became excited, his wrinkles twitching slightly.

"Right! We can’t fall into the enemy’s trap! I’ll lock her up right now and then go to the county to get someone to take her for investigation."

They didn’t dare take her to the county themselves, fearing something might happen on the way and they would be unable to explain.

"Then you go ahead, I need to take my people and look around." Xia Weiguo nodded. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The village chief then called the villagers who came with him to tie up Wu Xuezhen and lock her in the warehouse.

People working in the tea garden saw Wu Xuezhen being tied up, strung on a wooden stick.

She was carried like a dead pig by the village chief and his men.

When they learned that Wu Xuezhen deliberately caused trouble for the inspectors, trying to prevent their village from growing herbs, they all rushed over to spit on her.

"You shameless bitch! What did we ever do to you? You actually want us dead!"

"Our village may not be rich, but when you were flirting with the men here, we overlooked your behavior because you were an educated youth and still young. How dare you repay kindness with hatred?!"

Those aunts cursed and spat, still feeling unsatisfied.

They took off their shoes and beat Wu Xuezhen’s body and head wildly.

The men who had some involvement with her wanted to plead for her.

But before they could speak, their mothers forcefully held them back.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the once pretty and delicate girl was beaten into a swollen mess.

Wu Xuezhen’s mouth was stuffed with a rag, so she could only make muffled pleas for mercy. However, no one understood her, and even if they did, no one was willing to let her go.

Su Yijia was pushing Qin Kaize and watching the commotion from a distance. Just as she was about to make a comment, she noticed the other educated youths had seen her and were all looking in her direction. She grinned brightly, with a hint of provocation in her smile.

Most of the educated youths’ faces turned somewhat unpleasant, showing a mix of nervousness, fear, and disapproval of their harsh actions. However, a few of them smiled back at her.

Su Yijia found this interesting but didn’t linger. She pushed Qin Kaize back to the Educated Youth Center and leaned against his legs, looking into his lowered eyes.

"Do you think I was too harsh?" Su Yijia asked curiously. She wondered how he viewed her after everything she had done.

"Uncle Xia was too soft-hearted," Qin Kaize replied firmly. If it were up to him, he would have used the same justification. Someone like Wu Xuezhen would never learn her lesson. If they let her come back, she might cause more trouble for Jiajia.

"Now that I’m well, leave these matters to me, so you don’t have to spoil your mood because of them," Qin Kaize comforted her gently.

"I wouldn’t let them get to me. They’re just pebbles on my path, too small to hurt me. If they get in my way, I’ll just kick them aside," Su Yijia said, curling her lips in boredom. Such minor nuisances left no mark on her mind.

After all, she was someone from decades ahead, living in this era with fundamentally different ideas. Despite trying to blend in, she still faced envy and jealousy. What could she do about it?

Was she supposed to wear straw shoes and patched clothes like everyone else? Only eat meat two or three times a year, and let her carefully maintained complexion turn dark and rough from the sun?

Jealous people will always envy you if you’re even slightly better off than they are. Non-jealous people will live their lives happily regardless of how wealthy you appear.

"Exactly. These people aren’t worth your reflection. It’s not like you provoked them first," Qin Kaize echoed her thoughts firmly.

Before long, the children who had finished their tasks came running to the Educated Youth Center.

Before they arrived, Su Yijia got up from Qin Kaize’s lap.

"Sister, are you feeling better? Can we go to the river to catch snails together?" The children poked their heads into the Educated Youth Center, their dirty faces resembling little kittens, looking adorable.

"I’m all set, just waiting for you," Su Yijia said, getting up and pushing Qin Kaize out.

Gao Huabin followed behind them, carrying tools for catching crayfish.
