“Now I know why He Jianian is going astray; it turns out he has a mother with outdated ideas. No wonder you can’t raise your son well.” Song Yan’s contemptuous attitude pained Xu Fengxia.

Her son was a fallen tiger; if he hadn't gone to the countryside, would he have been able to find a country girl? And Song Yan dared to speak ill of her son. "What kind of person are you? Even your grandma said you're not from the Song family… ah!"

Song Yan dragged Xu Fengxia to the factory director's house, which was located in a nearby residential area.

The Song family made a scene yesterday, what's going on today?

Song Yan and Xu Fengxia were followed by a large number of people.

At first, Xu Fengxia begged Song Yan to let her go, but it was no use.

She couldn't help but curse, "Let go of me, you shameless bastard!"

"You little bitch!"...

With all this commotion downstairs, how could the factory manager not hear it? It's not even working hours yet, what's going on here?

"What exactly happened?" the factory manager asked angrily.

Everyone quickly made way so that the factory manager could see what was going on.

"Factory Director, Song Yan tried to hit me first thing this morning! Her grandmother slandered me yesterday. She's a military dependent, but she can't just do whatever she wants. She has to apologize, she..." Xu Fengxia tried to preemptively strike.

“He Jianian admitted himself that he instigated you.” Song Yan’s soft words left Xu Fengxia speechless.

Song Yan repeated Xu Fengxia's words to everyone. "You slandered my background. My parents were almost driven to their deaths because of this. People from the Women's Federation and the Double Support Office testified for me, and you still lie. If it weren't for the reputation of the machinery factory, I would have gone to the Double Support Office and the Women's Federation again. I really didn't expect you to sympathize with my grandmother's feudal practices."

"I didn't! I didn't!" Xu Fengxia, having just gotten her tongue out, suddenly remembered what she had done.

Song Yan: "Xu Fengxia cursed like this all the way, and everyone heard it."

"Factory manager, I'm from a family that works at the machinery factory. Over the years, if it weren't for the factory taking care of my mother and letting her work in the canteen, she wouldn't have been able to get a decent meal. I'm grateful to the factory and don't want to bring shame to it..."

The factory manager understood Song Yan's meaning: leave the matter to the factory to handle, instead of looking for it elsewhere, otherwise the factory would suffer another embarrassment.

Yesterday was really embarrassing.

Yesterday, the Women's Federation said that the factory's education was inadequate, allowing feudal forces to rise and women to be mistreated and humiliated. Song Yan is a military dependent, and the Double Support Office said that the factory's work on supporting the military and their families was not up to par.

The Women's Federation and the Double Support Office were not the superior units of the machinery factory, but they could file complaints with their own superior units and their complaints were always successful.

The factory director was furious. If Song Yan went to see him again today, what would they think? Wouldn't they really report him to the higher authorities? "Is that Comrade Xu Fengxia? Where is your moral compass? You actually sympathize with feudal remnants. Comrade Song Yan is a proud military family member. What right do you have to slander her?"

The factory manager made his stance clear in a single sentence.

Song Yan sneered inwardly. He had originally planned to settle scores with Xu Fengxia, and she seemed to know his intentions, delivering herself right to his doorstep.

"No, no, it's..." Xu Fengxia wanted to say that her son married the brigade leader's daughter instead of Song Yan, so Song Yan was retaliating against her son. That's what Jia Nian's letter said. But she didn't dare say it, lest this be another slander against a military family! "You just scolded my son for not studying hard, that's why I scolded you."

Xu Fengxia tried to steer the conversation away from the point that she was only fighting because of her son.

“Xu Fengxia, you instigated my grandmother to mistreat my mother, isn’t it because you hate me and want to sue your son? Actually, I’ve already let him go, and you’re still not satisfied.” Song Yan looked around.

Everyone was startled; the Song family's affairs were also related to Xu Fengxia's son?

Gossip is human nature, regardless of the era.

"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? What are you going to accuse my son of?" Xu Fengxia thought, "If you don't mind sounding embarrassed about being dumped, then just say it."

Song Yan took out a piece of paper and handed it to the factory manager, "Factory manager, take a look!"

The factory manager calmly took it, glanced at it, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at Song Yan, then at Xu Fengxia, and then down at the paper in his hand.

The onlookers were incredibly curious; what was written on it?

The factory manager muttered to himself, "This must be real. There's an official seal and a witness's signature."

Song Yan took the paper back and handed it to He Jianian's second uncle, who was also among the onlookers. Song Yan knew a thing or two about the conflicts within the He family.

Uncle He was overjoyed; his good nephew had truly brought honor to his parents. It was a pity he couldn't read aloud what was on the table.

When it was in the factory manager's hands, no one dared to ask questions, but now they don't have to worry about that anymore and everyone asks, "What's written on it?"

Uncle He wanted to speak, but he couldn't. He could talk about He Jianian's affairs from others, but not himself; after all, he shared the same surname. His face flushed crimson.

Later, when people talked about what happened today, they said that Uncle He was ashamed.

Song Yan thoughtfully unfolded the paper and showed it to the person closest to him, saying, "Let everyone see!"

The person in front read the message aloud.

"Oh my god?"

"Xiao Yan, has He Jianian been arrested?"

"No wonder Xu Fengxia was up to no good behind the scenes; it was all for her son's revenge on Xiao Yan! And she still wants a son like that..."

"I've never seen anyone so shameless!"

Xu Fengxia was stunned. What was written on that piece of paper?! How could this be? She tried to snatch it right away. Would Song Yan let her get it?

Many people have already heard this, that's enough. Song Yan carefully put away He Jianian's confession.

Xu Fengxia was about to lunge at Song Yan when the factory manager shouted, "Hold her back!"

The surrounding area was buzzing with conversation, all about He Jianian.
