Chapter 68 Hong Lanlan Jumps into the River (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Say less, this is a family compound after all. If you two make things too tense, it won't be good for your respective families in the future," someone advised.

Song Cuiping spat, not thinking she was wrong.

"If it weren't for Hong Lanlan's sharp tongue, none of this would have happened. If anyone should learn to shut up, it would be Hong Lanlan."

The onlookers didn't say much, after all, it was someone else's business.

Saying too much won't do any good, and might even make someone hold a grudge.

Neither Song Cuiping nor Hong Lanlan are people to be trifled with.

On the other side, someone advised Hong Lanlan not to make a scene.

Hong Lanlan burst into tears, feeling extremely wronged.

"It was Song Cuiping who started this trouble first. I was just cooking at Xu Qingmo's house and she ruined everything. I can't swallow this." Where will she find such a good opportunity in the future?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Hong Lanlan still wanted to struggle to cause trouble for Song Cuiping.

However, there were many people around her, keeping a close watch on her.

"This has already happened. Try to calm yourself down and not act impulsively. Just try to live your life well."

"No, I can't swallow this insult."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade them, the crowd stopped talking and went back to their own homes to get busy.

Because of the ugly falling out between Hong Lanlan and Song Cuiping, Du Jun and Hong Lanlan's husband Zhang Xiang didn't give each other a friendly look when they met.

Zhang Xiang's two sons, in particular, are at the age when they are growing up. He sends a large portion of his salary back to his hometown, leaving him with little money. Eating meat is a luxury for them.

But because Hong Lanlan was cooking at Xu Qingmo's house, she could have meat every day, which made not only the two children happy, but also Zhang Xiang very happy.

But this good thing came to an abrupt end because of Song Cuiping's antics.

As Zhang Xiang passed by Du Jun, he deliberately bumped into him. Du Jun knew that Zhang Xiang was angry, so he didn't say anything.

When Du Jun got home that night, he wanted to vent his anger on Song Cuiping, but he was startled to see her standing in front of him with her face covered in injuries.

"What happened to your face? Who did you fight with?" Du Jun asked curiously.

Song Cuiping's expression changed slightly. "Who else could it be? Of course, it's Hong Lanlan. That little bitch wanted to cook at Xu Qingmo's house, but she got kicked out. Hahaha..."

Despite her injured face, Song Cuiping smiled happily, but accidentally aggravated her wounds, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Do you and Hong Lanlan really have to make things so ugly?" Du Jun retorted.

Song Cuiping understood the underlying meaning and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that? I'm injured like this, and you haven't said a word of concern, yet you're questioning me!"

“It’s not that I don’t care about you, it’s just that if you keep causing trouble with Hong Lanlan, I don’t know what to say to Zhang Xiang in the army.” Du Jun was also in a dilemma.

Song Cuiping looked at Du Jun suspiciously, "Did Zhang Xiang bully you?"

"No..." Du Jun hesitated, then stopped.

In Song Cuiping's eyes, this was the behavior of someone who had been bullied.

She immediately became unhappy, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up, saying, "You wait, I'll go and get revenge for you right now."

Before Du Jun could say anything more, he saw Song Cuiping leave home like a gust of wind and head straight for Hong Lanlan's house.

Hong Lanlan took out a set of clothes from the corner, but they looked completely unfamiliar to her.

Then, she picked up a set of children's clothes from the corner, which looked unfamiliar.

She turned to Zhang Xiang, who had just returned home, and asked, "Why are there two sets of clothes here? Did you bring them back?"

Zhang Xiang first glanced at the clothes and said there was nothing there, but then he noticed Hong Lanlan's injured face and quickly asked, "What happened to your face?"

"You, Hong Lanlan! You stole my Du Jun and Da Ya's clothes!" Song Cuiping looked at the clothes in Hong Lanlan's hand and recognized them. She rushed over and snatched the clothes away.

I looked through them and saw that the pants had several holes cut in them, and even the shirt had holes cut in it.

Song Cuiping was furious.

Hong Lanlan was stunned for a moment, then immediately denied it, "Don't make false accusations, I didn't steal these clothes at all."

"If you didn't steal it, why is it in your house?" Song Cuiping questioned, deliberately raising her voice to attract others to see Hong Lanlan's behavior.

The people in the family compound were also having a headache, wondering why these two were always arguing.

But some people who enjoy watching a spectacle would skip their meals to come and join in the fun.

Someone asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Song Cuiping showed the clothes to everyone present and accused Hong Lanlan of stealing her new clothes.

Hong Lanlan was extremely upset at being wrongly accused and immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't steal it at all, and I don't know why the clothes ended up in my house."

Hong Lanlan now feels like she has no way to defend herself.

She was flustered and confused. Although she knew very well that she hadn't stolen anything, she was afraid that people wouldn't believe her when she was in front of so many people and so many eyes watching her.

"Listen to this, everyone! Is she even speaking human language? All my clothes are right here. She says she doesn't know anything, which is clearly a lie. Please help me judge this. My clothes have been ruined by Hong Lanlan. What should I do?"

Song Cuiping felt she had a handle on Hong Lanlan and didn't let her guard down at all.

I've been thinking about how to bring down Hong Lanlan these past two days, and I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Although it was a pity that her clothes were cut up, she was not worried at all because she had found someone to compensate her.

"I really don't know. I have two sons, and Song Cuiping has two daughters. Why would I steal girls' clothes for my sons to wear?" Hong Lanlan said, trying to convince everyone.

But when these words reached Song Cuiping's ears, they were interpreted as sarcasm, mocking her for not being able to give birth to a son.

Song Cuiping angrily rebuked, "You are a very wicked person. You were so jealous when you saw that my Daya and Du Jun had new clothes to wear, so you deliberately stole the clothes and cut them up so that we couldn't wear them. You will go to hell."

People around them were talking about it, and it was a done deal that the clothes were going to be in Hong Lanlan's house.

Hong Lanlan was speechless with grievances.

The people around her began to overwhelmingly side with Song Cuiping, who raised an eyebrow at Hong Lanlan, striking a victorious pose.

Hong Lanlan kept explaining that she hadn't stolen anything, but no one believed her.

Zhang Xiang appeared before everyone and asked Hong Lanlan what was going on. Hong Lanlan explained that she hadn't stolen anything.

Zhang Xiang's face was dark, and he remained silent.

Song Cuiping and the others continued to point at her and demand that she pay for the clothes.

In a moment of despair, Hong Lanlan pushed everyone aside and ran out, heading straight for the small river outside the family compound. Without hesitation, she waded into the deep water.

Before long, the river submerged her head.

Song Cuiping continued shouting from the riverbank, "Don't think you can get away with not paying back the money for your clothes just because you jumped into the river! If you, Hong Lanlan, don't pay me back, I'll go to Zhang Xiang for it!"
