The next day, just after dawn, the disheveled Lin Yaqin was dragged up by Old Lady Gao!

"You're just a dead body! Why don't you get up and make some porridge? Are you waiting for me to feed you rice? You're born a lazy bone with a worthless life!"

Lin Yaqin was so frightened that she jumped up and hurriedly put on the wrinkled rag shirt.

The noise was enough to wake up Gao Zhiqiang, who was lying on the same kang. Without even opening his eyes, he raised his foot and kicked her thigh:

"You're so noisy! If you don't get back to cooking, I'll beat you to death!"

After cursing, he turned over, hugged the quilt, and started snoring again.

Lin Yaqin grimaced in pain, crawling to put on her tattered cloth shoes. Her hair was a mess like a grass nest and she didn't even bother to comb it. She stumbled into the smoky public kitchen in the yard.

It was just daybreak and the common kitchen was still empty.

Lin Yaqin was busy chopping pickled cabbage when the gossipy old ladies in the yard came in with their slender waists twisting.

When Auntie Fatty saw her, she immediately bared her yellow teeth and said, "Oh, Gao's wife, you got up early today? Weren't you tired last night?"

The other woman poked the stove and made a face: "How was it last night? Were you really left out? Today you can still get up and cook!" As she said that, she poked the skinny old woman Qian next to her with her elbow.

Mrs. Qian immediately cackled like an old hen: "Oh! You just know how to lie with your eyes open!

Look at the dark circles under her eyes! She must have just climbed down from her husband's bed! Business is booming!

"Look at what you said. Ren Zhiqiang is not a man! Did you hear it last night?"

Auntie Fatty got excited. "Zhiqiang took her to the courtyard in the middle of the night and she was babbling, and Old Liu, who was cleaning the toilet, was still scolding her!"

Widow Zhao slammed the swill bucket onto the ground and squinted her eyes as she scraped her from head to toe: "I think he's a man of great ambition and ability! He gets a wife and can just lie on the kang with his legs spread wide open every day and earn money! Unlike us, we work ourselves to death just to scrape together a living!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Qian laughed, slapping her thigh. "I could still hear the kang creaking in their room when I woke up in the middle of the night! This daughter-in-law is worth marrying! She can earn money and is useful!"

The group of people suddenly burst into laughter, their shameless words became more and more obscene, and their laughter was ear-piercing.

Although they also lived in this shabby courtyard and lived a tight life, they felt that they were at least a "respectable family" and were much better off than Lin Yaqin, the "butcher"!

The people in this shabby compound are all extremely poor, but they just love to step on each other.

In this poor shack, there is no such thing as "laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes". If it were a female public relations worker at the "Golden Phoenix" who is dressed in gold and silver, they would definitely call him "manager" with a shameless face.

I can't even wait to flatter you, how dare I laugh at you! Even though we all make a living below the belt.

But what about Lin Yaqin? She was a "trash" in Gao Zhiqiang's hands, someone they could abuse at will and use to highlight their own "innocence."

Scolding her can not only please Gao Zhiqiang and his fierce mother, but also provide some entertainment for herself and show off her "seriousness" in front of men, killing two birds with one stone.

That's all the "seriousness" they have left!

As for why they try to please Gao Zhiqiang and his mother, it’s because the rich are afraid of the poor, and the poor are afraid of those who don’t care about their lives!

In this slum, everyone knows the kind of people the Gao mother and son are.

Gao Zhiqiang is a shameless and unscrupulous scoundrel; his mother is even more rude and violent. When she throws a tantrum, she can roll on the ground for three days and three nights!

Those who still want to live a peaceful life will try not to provoke this mother and son.

No one wants to be blocked at the door and yelled at by this mother and son all day long, let alone cause unnecessary trouble.

Those dirty words pierced Lin Yaqin's ears like needles, but she didn't even dare to raise her head.

He could only grit his teeth and chop the food with the kitchen knife on the chopping board, making a clanging sound.

Each knife seemed to be chopping off these humiliations, but it also seemed to be chopping off his own dignity that had long been shattered.

A few old men who had just woken up passed by the kitchen with cigarettes in their mouths, their eyes circling around her like sticky flies.

There was a slick-looking guy who even sucked his teeth and whistled, peeking into the kitchen with a playful grin on his face.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Those women were immediately furious.

If a woman sees her husband peeking, she will immediately fly into a rage and rush over to pull him back by the ear, cursing and swearing:

"You're courting death! Where are you looking? Aren't you afraid of getting stye?"

"Slutty vixen! Sticking your ass out so early in the morning! You only know how to seduce other men!"

"Bah! Shameless bitch! Stay away from my man!"

If her husband is not present, she will just watch the fun from the side, not only not trying to stop it, but also making some sarcastic remarks!

"That's right! What's your intention, hanging around in the kitchen dressed like that?"

"If you ask me, people like this should be kicked out of the compound!"

"She's so flirtatious all day long, who knows what she's up to behind the scenes!"

As they spoke, they looked Lin Yaqin up and down with critical eyes and without any hesitation.

There was an undisguised sneer on her lips, as if by trampling Lin Yaqin into the mud, she herself would become more noble.

There was a woman who wanted to watch the fun and fan the flames at the top of her voice:

"If my husband dares to peek at this kind of thing, I'll dig his eyes out and stomp on them!"

As expected, the women who were already scolding their husbands became even more enthusiastic!

"Did you hear that? You idiot! Everyone knows how to save face!"
