Chen Xiaowei looked at the two of them suspiciously, while Du Danian wore a speechless expression.

"Old Chen, I'm really scared of your family!"

After Du Danian finished speaking, his wife's voice rang out.

"What are you all doing? Why are you all crowding around?"

When Du Danian saw his wife come out, he quickly explained the situation to her.

Upon hearing this, Du Danian's wife immediately gave Chen Xiaowei a sharp look.

"Chen Xiaowei, what do you and your wife mean? Are you trying to cling to my Danian? My Danian isn't that desperate, okay?"

Chen Xiaowei was furious after being inexplicably scolded.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just asking casually."

Du Danian's wife snorted coldly, "I was just saying it casually."

Zhao Lianwei felt restless and wanted to reach out and pull Chen Xiaowei, but then she remembered that Chen Xiaowei had syphilis.

Not daring to make a move for a moment, Zhao Lianwei silently walked into her house.

When Chen Xiaowei saw Zhao Lianwei return home, he glared at Du Danian's wife and went home in a huff.

Du Danian's wife scolded him pointedly, "You mustn't associate with those shady people. What if you catch some kind of virus? I don't want to end up in the hospital."

Zhao Lianwei had just stepped into her own yard when she heard this pointed remark.

She immediately thought of her children at home.

Zhao Lianwei turned and walked up to Chen Xiaowei.

"Chen Xiaowei, where's Yaoming?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Chen Xiaowei's eyes, but his face showed an expression that left no room for doubt.

"You wretched woman, who gave you the right to yell at me like that in public?"

Chen Xiaowei raised his hand and slapped Zhao Lianwei across the face.

As if he were doing it on purpose for someone to see, he slapped Zhao Lianwei again.

Zhao Lianwei was stunned by the slap, and it took her a long time to react after staring at Chen Xiaowei.

She remained silent for a long time, which angered Du Danian's wife to the point of wanting to hit her, but Zhao Lianwei only managed to utter a single sentence.

Where is Yaoming?

Du Danian's wife was furious and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Du Danian reached out and patted his wife's shoulder. "Li Yu, let's go home."

Li Yu returned home in a huff and puff, and couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, feeling just angry.

Seeing her husband sleeping soundly beside her, Li Yu kicked Du Danian viciously.

In Lianhua Town.

Li Yan is off today and plans to visit her eldest sister.

When we arrived at Chenjia Village, we saw the eldest sister looking very angry.

She asked curiously, "Big sister, what's wrong?"

Li Yu rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You have no idea how weird the family next door is."

Li Yan smiled and said, "It must be something really weird, it made my older sister so angry."

Li Yu hurriedly told Li Yan everything about the Chen family, and Li Yan naturally knew that the Chen family next door was powerful.

Her eldest sister married into Chenjia Village, while Chen Jiayi married into Lianhua Town.

Chen Jiayi is the neighbor's child of the eldest sister. The two met by chance and their relationship was fairly good.

Li Yan was somewhat surprised after learning this.

"So Chen Jiayi is now the daughter of the richest man?"

Li Yu nodded with a hint of jealousy, "Yes, who doesn't know that Chen Jiayi is now the daughter of the richest man?"

"By the way, isn't Mom working for a rich family in the big city? Why don't you call her and ask? Maybe she knows."

Li Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she talked about her mother, Wang Shuting.

"Big sister, I've come to you because I have something to tell you. Do you know about my aunt's daughter?"

"Wang Yu?"

"Yes, I heard she was a mistress in the city and was caught by the wife."

Li Yu was a little surprised. "Impossible, right? Didn't Wang Yu get into Ocean University? Can a college student do something like this?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "What's impossible? The fact that she passed the exam shows that she's smart, but it doesn't mean she's a good person."

There was a hint of jealousy in Li Yan's voice.

They've always compared themselves to Wang Yu since they were little. Even though she's not his biological daughter, she gets better treatment than them.

Later, when Wang Yu was admitted to university, her family celebrated immensely.

Since the college entrance examination was abolished in 1966 and replaced with a recommendation system for admission to worker-peasant-soldier universities, Wang Yu was recommended to university by the masses because of his outstanding personal abilities and popularity.

She felt that she and her older sister were quite popular!

Li Yu thought for a moment, "It's been a long time since I've seen Mom. When you get back, call her and ask when she's coming back so you can let me know."

Li Yan, however, had another idea in mind.

"Sis, how about we go to Haicheng to find Mom? Besides, I get along pretty well with Chen Jiayi, right? I'll ask her to arrange a job for me then."

Li Yu frowned. "Will she arrange it for you?"

Li Yan wasn't sure if it would happen, but her eyes flickered.

“If Chen Jiayi doesn’t arrange work for me, I’ll spread the word that she’s divorced. Aren’t rich people in the city afraid of having their reputations ruined?”

Li Yu stared at Li Yan, speechless with astonishment.

Haicheng

After learning about Xu Cuihua's experiences, Lan Meixuan couldn't help but shed tears of heartache.

"Why is your life so miserable, child?"

Lan Meixuan learned from Chen Jiayi that when she married into the Ding family, her sister-in-law took good care of her.

Lan Meixuan immediately understood what Chen Jiayi meant.

"You shouldn't go back home anymore. Stay in the city, and Auntie will arrange a job for you, how about that?"

Xu Cuihua couldn't imagine that she could still work in the city.

She looked at Chen Jiayi with some surprise, then looked at Lan Meixuan with embarrassment.

"Auntie, this isn't really appropriate, so please don't trouble yourself."

Lan Meixuan exclaimed, "Oh dear, you child, you helped my Jiayi back then. Now I'm helping you, just to repay you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiayi glanced thoughtfully at her mother.

Xu Cuihua didn't understand the other meaning behind those words, and she looked at Lan Meixuan with great emotion.

"Auntie, you're so kind."

Xu Cuihua is six years older than Chen Jiayi. Lan Meixuan is Chen Jiayi's mother, so Xu Cuihua naturally has to address her by the respectful title of someone of the same generation.

After Xu Cuihua went upstairs to rest, Lan Meixuan glanced at the silent Chen Jiayi.

“Jiayi, your sister-in-law is an honest person. You can help her, but not too often, understand? Whether it's your sister-in-law or anyone else, once the favors have been repaid, you should reduce contact.”

Chen Jiayi nodded, understanding what Lan Meixuan meant.

People from different circles will offer far less help than you can give them.

It's fine once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, it becomes an unequal relationship.

Human nature is unpredictable, so to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it's best to prepare in advance.

Lan Meixuan introduced Xu Cuihua to a delivery job. It included room and board, though it was hard work. But the monthly salary was 20 yuan.

With room and board included and a monthly salary of 20 yuan, Xu Cuihua felt that this job was already very good.

After Chen Jiayi made arrangements for her sister-in-law, she returned home and saw Aunt Wang happily hang up the phone.
