Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 377: Wanting to Stand Up for Ding Xuechun

However, Su Xiaoxiao was particularly firm in pushing the gift back into Ji Yujing’s hands. "The last incident was so serious; if you don’t accept my apology, I won’t feel comfortable coming to play with you in the future."

Though she still wore a soft and sweet smile, her words were serious. She knew that while she might not have much contact with her high school classmates in the future, the previous incident had indeed been dangerous. If not for her, Ji Yujing and Xuechun wouldn’t have been caught up in it. Out of both sentiment and reason, she wanted to apologize properly to both of them.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao’s insistence, Ji Yujing had no choice but to accept. "Alright then, I’ll accept this gift," she replied with a somewhat reluctant smile, taking the items from Su Xiaoxiao.

Since Ding Xuechun had no job after getting married, they went directly to her home. She was startled to see Su Xiaoxiao and the others, quickly pulling them outside without daring to invite them in. Once they were far from the residential area, she smiled at Su Xiaoxiao, "What brings you here today? Has the incident with Gui Zhenzhen been resolved?"

"She has been taken into custody. I’m here to invite you to my wedding banquet next Saturday," Su Xiaoxiao said earnestly, her gaze lingering on Ding Xuechun’s still slightly bruised face.

Ding Xuechun raised her hand apologetically and smiled, "I just bumped into something in the dark at night; it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come to your house early next Saturday."

"If anyone bullies you, just let me know. Now that I’m with my husband and my brother, we can stand up for you. Don’t worry; even after we leave, we will come back at least once a year. Plus, my parents are also around. If you have any issues, go to them; they will help you too," Su Xiaoxiao said with a serious tone.

She instinctively knew that Ding Xuechun’s injuries were likely connected to the recent investigations by the discipline inspection office into them. She couldn’t let Ding Xuechun be bullied because of it.

Ding Xuechun quickly shook her head. "No need, really. It’s nothing; they were just scared and took their anger out on me."

"Whatever the reason, that shouldn’t be how you treat a woman!" Ji Yujing exclaimed angrily.

Ding Xuechun smiled bitterly. "The main reason is that Gui Zhenzhen’s family came to our house and beat up my family, destroying some of our things. If my husband hadn’t hit me, he wouldn’t have known how to explain it to his family."

Ji Yujing’s expression shifted to one of realization. "I thought it was strange that Gui Zhenzhen’s family hadn’t come to my house; it turns out they were already dealt with at yours. Since that’s the case, we definitely can’t ignore you."

"Exactly! If it weren’t for you guys getting into a fight with Gui Zhenzhen’s family, they might have come to our house next!" Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of anger.

Before she could even confront Gui Zhenzhen’s family, they had the audacity to cause trouble for Ding Xuechun!

"Forget it; let’s just beat up Gui Zhenzhen’s family first," Su Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Yexun, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "What are the addresses of her in-laws and her family?"

Ding Xuechun quickly shook her head. "No, no, really, it’s nothing serious. Let’s not cause trouble."

She only had one older brother, who was working in a neighboring city due to marriage, so if those families healed and came looking for trouble, how would she go on living?

But Ji Yujing firmly wrapped her arm around Ding Xuechun. "Don’t be afraid! If they dare to come and find you trouble, just look for me and Xiaoxiao. We definitely won’t let you suffer."

"But Xiaoxiao’s father is in trouble now. They have a lot of issues; how can I keep bothering her?" Ding Xuechun felt very embarrassed.

In truth, one of the reasons she had been beaten was that she had gone out with Xiaoxiao that day. The incident involving Director Su’s embezzlement had become widely known, and her husband’s family was overly cautious, afraid of getting involved in trouble. So when she went out, she just said she was out shopping with Gui Zhenzhen and Ji Yujing.

However, she didn’t believe the rumors outside at all. To her, Uncle Su, who loved his family and didn’t favor sons over daughters, was a very upright person who responded to the country’s calls. How could he possibly embezzle state assets?

"It’s okay; my dad is upright and has been called in for investigation. Many people from the military and public security are involved now, so they will definitely clear my dad’s name," Su Xiaoxiao reassured her.

She didn’t directly mention that her father’s matter had been resolved since they had just recovered the steel last night, and those people were still to be interrogated. There might still be others behind the scenes. It was best not to reveal too much now to avoid alarming the enemy.

But since people from the National Security Office had come down, the people behind the scenes were also likely aware, so Su Xiaoxiao spoke confidently. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Ji Yujing and Ding Xuechun instantly brightened at her words. "Congratulations! We were really worried about you before, afraid that something would happen to Mr. Su, and we were also concerned about how it would affect you. Now that the police and army are investigating, the truth will definitely come out soon."

"So, Xuechun, don’t worry that we won’t stand up for you. If he can lay hands on you because of this, what will happen next time if he beats you for something else? At that point, you might think it’s none of our business, making it even harder to ask us for help," Su Xiaoxiao earnestly persuaded.

Ding Xuechun didn’t reply, just lowering her head awkwardly.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt her heart tighten.

But in reality, during this era, it was common for women not to resist their husbands or mothers-in-law.

"I can only say that people learn their lessons. If he gets beaten hard this time, he won’t dare to lay hands on you for a long time. Even if he does later, he’ll have to weigh whether he can take the hits. We can help you beat him a few times, and he will definitely become obedient. But this still depends on you standing up for yourself. If you really don’t want to, I can’t force you," Su Xiaoxiao said, deciding to make one last effort. If Ding Xuechun didn’t want to stand up for herself, she wouldn’t press her.

Ding Xuechun fidgeted with her fingers on her pants, struggling for a long time before explaining, "It’s not that I don’t want to stand up; actually, when he hits me, I want a divorce. But if I divorce, I won’t have a job, and I’ll have to rely on my parents. Everyone will laugh at my parents behind their backs. So, I don’t want to keep bothering you because of my problems, and I’m also afraid that if he really hits me hard, what if he wants to divorce you too?"
