Sister-in-law He Xiuzhi had spent a good half year in the county town, and normally she was in charge of the entire Dahe Hall, possessing quite a bit of connections. Her demeanor had significantly improved; she now looked every inch the distinguished lady, no longer carrying that rural coarseness.
"My, my, isn't that Xiuzhi? You've become so beautiful in just half a year."
"Xiaowu really outdid himself by marrying Xiuzhi."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand; Xiuzhi kicked Xiaowu to the curb long ago—they're both divorced now."
As they came to their senses, the crowd greeted her one after another. Xiuzhi was now single, and if anything could happen with her, it would certainly make one green with envy.
But wishful thinking aside, the people present were quite self-aware. Xiuzhi was no longer the same as before; naturally, she wouldn't take these village bumpkins seriously.
Whoever dared to court death by provoking her would probably not even understand how they died.
