Chapter 171 A Letter from the Subdistrict Office Reveals the Truth

"Exactly, you educated youth, where did all your education go? You're making an old man beg you like this."

"She knows she was wrong. Parents are never wrong, so please forgive her."

Even more remarkably, the older woman and Yang Honghua were relatives, and she said:

"I think you should take the child and go back to the Li family. It's not proper for a woman like you to live like this."

Divorce is nothing in these people's eyes. As long as Xie Zhiqing is willing to go back, won't they be able to get back together?

This woman is raising a child alone; what good family would want her?

Yang Honghua thought to herself with pride, "That's right, Xiao Xie, why don't you come home with me? We can live happily together as a family from now on."

Xie Xinyu didn't argue with the old man or refute him; she simply closed the back window.

He turned around again and said loudly to Yang Honghua, "I will not go back, not in this lifetime."

Li Dawei and I divorced a long time ago. From now on, we go our separate ways. Don't come here again. I don't believe you really want to see my daughter.

As she spoke, she threw out the things Yang Honghua had brought, and as Yang Honghua ran out, she slammed the door shut.

People outside couldn't stand her coldness and stood there talking about her with Yang Honghua.

They were worried that the walls were too thin and that people inside could hear them.

Xie Xinyu covered Ruyi's ears, her bewildered eyes looking at her mother: "Mom!"

Xie Xinyu smiled at her: "Yes, Mom's here, don't be afraid."

Ruyi smiled, and even Xiaomi's teeth were visible.

Those outside, seeing her nonchalant attitude, felt they had wasted their breath and left after a few words of cursing.

Lin Yu only found out about this later.

"What's wrong with these people? Why are they helping Yang Honghua instead?"

Song Meili was indignant when she heard this. She was out when Yang Honghua came that day, otherwise she would definitely have helped with the argument.

Lin Yu frowned: "This Yang Honghua is quite something. She even knows how to play the victim. This is going to be difficult."

She didn't hit anyone; she just pretended to miss her granddaughter terribly. The villagers were all kind and honest, so they naturally felt that she had the heart of a grandmother.

As soon as Xie Xinyu and the others realize, it's clear that the visitor has ill intentions.

After thinking for a moment, Ou Manqing said, "Why don't you move to my house? My mom can help you take care of Ruyi."

She was all alone in that house. When Yang Honghua came to the door, no one helped her.

If Ou Manqing came here, Yang Honghua probably wouldn't dare to come, after all, Li Dahui is still at home.

But precisely because Li Dahui was in her family, Xie Xinyu couldn't agree to stay there.

The world is going to the dogs.

One must know how to avoid suspicion.

"No, it wouldn't be good if it damaged our reputation."

Song Meili rolled up her sleeves: "Next time she comes, I'll beat her up for you."

Feeling comforted by the concern of so many people, Xie Xinyu also gained courage and said:

"I'm not afraid if she comes again. I'll just pretend I don't hear anything she says."

This is only temporary. Lin Yu felt that Yang Honghua was too difficult to deal with, and getting rid of her would not be easy.

Of course, what she considers a big deal might not be a big deal to some people.

Not long after, Xie Xinyu received a letter from the city's street office.

He hurriedly took it and ran to the Lin family's house.

Lin Yu asked curiously, "What did the letter say? Why the rush?"

She came carrying her child, panting, and handed the letter to Lin Yu.

This is a letter from the neighborhood committee. It first says that they accidentally discovered that the job left behind by Xie Xinyu's parents was not actually done by Xie Xinyu herself.

The investigation later revealed that the person currently on duty was actually her cousin, Wu Jiani.

Xie Xinyu herself has replaced Wu Jiani in going to the countryside.

The neighborhood committee believes that the Wu family has mistreated the children of heroes, and has now taken back Wu Jiani's job and reassigned Xie Xinyu to a new job.

Furthermore, they also found the pension that was originally given to Xie's parents at Wu's house, as well as a sum of money that they had given to Wu's family.

Xie Xinyu only now realizes that although her parents have passed away, they left her with so much.

Their old house is still there, but it's now occupied by her aunt's brother's family.

She always believed that her parents had died unexpectedly, so she could only live with her uncle and aunt, dependent on them.

Her aunt-in-law wanted her to be grateful, saying they had let her eat and drink for free for so many years...

So when Wu Jiani needed to go to the countryside, her uncle, aunt, and grandmother all begged her to agree to take her place.

Erniu overheard this and pouted, saying, "Xie Zhiqing, your uncle and aunt are so mean!"

"Erniu!" Lin Aiguo wouldn't allow her to speak like that. After all, she was someone else's family, and he probably didn't want to hear what others were saying.

Xie Xinyu patted Erniu and said, "It's okay, Erniu wasn't wrong."

The neighborhood committee said the money was enough to buy another job, but they only wanted to keep the money for themselves and didn't want to buy me a job so I could stay in the city.

Lin Yu nodded: "Not only that, even after you leave, the house will still belong to them."

"No wonder, when my parents had their accident, they immediately helped me move."

Housing is scarce in the city, so they wanted to vacate the house immediately so that their aunt's brother could live there.

Although Xie Xinyu disliked her uncle and aunt's behavior, they were doing it all for their own relatives and children, so their bad behavior was somewhat understandable.

But her maternal grandmother...

Her mother is her daughter. How could she just stand by and watch her mother's house be occupied and her child be bullied?

If it were Xie Xinyu in the past, she probably wouldn't have understood, but after years of living and working in the countryside, she has seen and experienced so much, and now she understands.

Grandma probably valued her son more; everything her daughter left behind belonged to her son.

Xie Xinyu was just a girl, so in her eyes, she didn't deserve anything.

However, unlike Yang Honghua and other elderly women in the village, she did not directly express her disgust.

She was usually very kind to Xie Xinyu, speaking softly and always saying how much she loved her daughter Wu Hongying and how much she felt sorry for Xie Xinyu.

But now that I think about it, there were no actual actions or benefits.

Auntie made Xie Xinyu do chores, while Wu Jiani went out to play in her new clothes. Grandma was there.

Aunt put all the meat into Wu Jiani and her brother's bowls. Xie Xinyu's mouth watered. Her grandmother was also there.

When her uncle asked Xie Xinyu to go to the countryside in place of Wu Jiani, what was her grandmother doing? She hugged Xie Xinyu and cried, saying how difficult and heartbreaking it was for her.

Her grandmother was the only person who had ever shown her any warmth, so she agreed to go to the countryside.

From an outsider's perspective, her maternal grandmother was actually more cunning than her aunt.

Even her mother probably couldn't tell, which is why she entrusted the child and money to her maternal grandmother and uncle.

"Xiaoyu, what should I do?" Suddenly knowing so much, she felt a little lost.

Lin Yu slammed her hand on the table: "Of course we're going back!"
