Shen Yulan is intelligent and quick to understand, but she is never aggressive and can't even utter a curse word. She would never be able to use someone's weakness to threaten them.

She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before weakly saying, "Jingya, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate? Isn't this ruining someone's reputation?"

He remained calm and composed, but disagreed.

"Big sister, you are too kind and weak, which is why you suffer from both your husband's family and your own family. Our kindness and goodwill are reserved for those who deserve it, not for compromising and yielding to these evil people."

Shen Yulan clutched the hem of her clothes: "That's what they say, but..."

"Sister, Ding Guixiang has done something shameful and has no reputation left. She treated you like that, and you're still covering for her? Besides, I don't plan to tell the investigation team about her dirty deeds. Let's secretly get evidence of her affair with Cao Yong first, and then show the evidence to Granny Ding. No matter how greedy Granny Ding is, she'll have to hand over the money for her daughter's sake!"

“But… isn’t what we’re doing a bit unfair?” Shen Yulan felt that this was doing something wrong and couldn’t get past the moral hurdle in her heart.

Ever since she accidentally learned about Ding Guixiang and Cao Yong's affair, she had been feeling uneasy. She wanted to advise Ding Guixiang several times, but when she thought that Ding Guixiang didn't care about her at all and that she was just a lowly daughter-in-law in the Ding family, she swallowed the secret.

Whenever she saw Granny Ding arranging Ding Guixiang's marriage while Ding Guixiang seemed indifferent, she could only sigh silently.

Ding Guixiang thought she had found a powerful backer. Cao Yong was the town mayor's son and the workshop director of the town's only textile factory. It was only a matter of time before he became the factory director.

Ding Guixiang was happily waiting to become the factory director's wife, but she was blinded by her own involvement.

If Cao Yong truly loved her, why would he have made her wait eight years? He was merely using sweet words to coax her and seek a little excitement in his dull life.

Shen Yulan had seen through it long ago, but Ding Guixiang still couldn't.

Shen Jingyan never showed mercy to such shameless people. She tried her best to persuade Shen Yulan. After thinking it over, Shen Yulan finally decided not to compromise with her weakness.

“The two of them would meet in secret every Friday and Saturday night, usually after midnight, in the haystack in the backyard. Sometimes they might meet in other places, but I don’t know.”

Shen Jingyan flipped through the calendar on the wall; tomorrow was Saturday.

"Jingya, how do you plan to gather evidence? We can't just stake out the two of them and catch them red-handed, can we?"

Chen Jingyan had already made plans in his heart.

Early the next morning, Shen Jingyan took Shen Yulan to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Shen Yulan saw that Shen Jingyan wanted to buy a tape recorder, she was shocked by the exorbitant price.

In this day and age, products with a bit of technology, such as tape recorders and cameras, are luxuries, unlike the younger generation where everyone has a mobile phone.

A tape recorder costs nearly two hundred yuan, which is almost a year's salary for an average worker.

"Jingya, this is too expensive. Let's think of another way..."

Chen Jingyan generously took out his money and bought a tape recorder.

Actually, she has a recorder in her online store; you can redeem one for 10,000 points.

But she couldn't conjure a tape recorder out of thin air in front of Shen Yulan; that would make her seem too powerful.

So I had no choice but to spend money to buy one.

She didn't feel bad about spending those two hundred yuan, because in a few years, listening to music on a tape recorder would become a nationwide trend.

"Big sister, let's record their affair with a tape recorder. This is solid evidence and the fastest way to catch Ding Guixiang red-handed."

That afternoon, the two sisters took the last bus and arrived in Dingjia Town.

They covered their heads with scarves to avoid being recognized by acquaintances.

The Ding family's backyard was surrounded by a low wall, and after nightfall, the surroundings became exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional bark of a dog.

Chen Jingyan deftly stepped over the low wall and hid the turned-on tape recorder in the haystack.

Fortunately, it was July, and it wasn't cold even late at night. The two rested against the low wall for a while. Around midnight, they heard rustling footsteps coming from the backyard.

With his keen ears, Shen Jingyan immediately caught the faint sound.

Under the moonlight, Ding Guixiang tiptoed out of the house, wearing only a thin garment.

She deftly slipped into the haystack, and a moment later, a man wearing a hat jumped over the low wall and eagerly crawled into the haystack.

After a series of unpleasant sounds, the two began to whisper to each other.

"Brother Yong, when are you finally going to divorce your wife? My mom's been arranging blind dates for me again these past few days, it's so annoying!"

Ding Guixiang's voice was full of complaints.

Cao Yong coaxed him with a smooth tongue, "I know, I'm sorry to have wronged you. I'm at a crucial moment in my election for factory director. If we get a divorce, it will affect me. Wait for me, and when I become the factory director, I'll marry you in a grand and glorious way!"

Ding Guixiang was surprisingly easy to please; she was overjoyed at the prospect of becoming the factory director's wife.

The two lingered together for a long time before reluctantly parting ways.
