Zhang Xiulan Failed Miserably.

Zhang Xiulan sensed that the villagers' gazes towards her had become hostile, so she secretly cursed Chen Baiyi in her mind. She didn't expect that this little hussy who had previously kept a low profile completely ruined her reputation that she had worked hard to maintain for many years.

Chen Baiyi did not argue with Zhang Xiulan. She only said, "Now that I've proven that this is a wild pheasant, Mom, it's time for you to apologize to me."

How could Zhang Xiulan apologize to Chen Baiyi? She snorted coldly and turned to leave with her son.

When Chen Chunsheng saw that there was no chance for him to eat the chicken, he stared fixedly at the white steam that was gradually rising from the big stove and suddenly cried. He shouted, "Mom, I want to eat chicken. Get Chen Baiyi to give us the chicken!"

Someone in the crowd laughed with disdain, and there were even people who looked amused. Zhang Xiulan felt humiliated, and she bent down to carry Chen Chunsheng.

Chen Chunsheng shook off her hand and rolled on the ground. "I don't care. I want to eat…"

Chen Baiyi didn't have time to tidy up the kitchen yet, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground. With the water used for cooking, the ground was muddy now. Chen Chunsheng looked like he was rolling around in a pit.

Zhang Xiulan's heart ached for her son. She couldn't help but look at Chen Baiyi. After a moment of silence, she said, "Baiyi, look at your brother. Why don't you give us a little? Treat it as a form of respect for your father and me."

Chen Baiyi shook her head despite Zhang Xiulan's expectant gaze. She said, "Mom, I originally wanted to take this pot of chicken and eat it with the entire family. But now that I think about it, since we've already severed ties, it's best if we don't see each other. As for filial piety towards my father, I'll personally place it in front of his grave."

Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, someone came up to persuade Zhang Xiulan. "The child is disappointed in you. Why don't you guys go back first and wait for her to calm down first?"

Zhang Xiulan also wanted to go back, but her son was still rolling on the ground!

She gritted her teeth and said, "You have to give us this pot of chicken today. Otherwise, your father will not rest in peace when he sees that you only care about yourself and don't care about your siblings at all."

"I miss my father so much. He had been strong and healthy when he was alive. Why is it that he abandoned me and died when he was in his forties?" Chen Baiyi suddenly cried. "Mom, your previous husband also died early. I can understand your difficulties, but if my father knew that I was a jinx, he definitely would have felt bad for me. He wouldn't have blamed me for any choice I made."

When Chen Baiyi said this, Zhang Xiulan's back broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't be bothered with the chicken anymore. She quickly picked Chen Chunsheng up and ran away. The reason was that she was most afraid of others mentioning that she had lost two husbands!

As everyone watched her fleeing, they suddenly had a strange thought.

After Chen Baiyi sent them out of the door, the women began to gossip. "Do you think it's possible that the person who is a jinx isn't Chen Baiyi, but Zhang Xiulan instead?"

"Everyone says that Chen Baiyi jinxed her husbands, but she hadn't even married them yet. I think it's more likely that Zhang Xiulan jinxed her son-in-laws to death!"

The crowd widened their eyes in shock as they listened to this person. "Think about it, among Chen Baiyi's three fiancées, other than Li Zhimin, the other two were all sickly. I'm not surprised that they died. On the other hand, which one of Zhang Xiulan's two husbands wasn't strong and robust? They were known for being good at planting crops."

"In my opinion, it's Zhang Xiulan who jinxed Chen Baiyi. That's why Chen Baiyi suffered."

Someone asked, "Really?"

"Let's see," the person replied. "Didn't the two of them cut ties already? Whoever has the better life is innocent, while the other one is a scourge."
