Duan Qinya dared to say this because she was sure that with Li Yanhong's personality, she would never let her daughter suffer any grievance or hardship.

So since Li Yanhong is such a trustworthy relative, why can't she just say a few nice words to please Li Yanhong?

"My dear relatives, our two families have known each other for so many years. You know my personality, and I know your character too. Let me put it this way, I must have accumulated merits in my previous life to have a relative like you."

"What's the big deal? Why are there so many differences? I really want to hang out with you, but you're always so polite, like if we hang out too much, we'll be picked on. You keep avoiding us."

"Those who know you have family traditions and integrity, and that you don't want to take advantage of our well-off family, but what about those who don't know?"

Duan Qinya glanced at Zhang Guifang, who was standing not far away, and sneered, "If someone didn't know, wouldn't they just point at your nose and laugh at you like they did just now?"

"You're a gentleman, but there are still these villains who use their mean hearts to harm you. There's nothing wrong with our two families, and we're very close, but they can lie with their eyes open and say that my family looks down on yours. Isn't this a joke?"

She brought up what her daughter had just said: "If I didn't like your family, I wouldn't marry my daughter into your family. Don't you think this makes sense, in-laws?"

Li Yanhong: “……?!”

Oh my god, Duan Qinya is crazy!

She was dreaming, she must be dreaming, otherwise how could such words come out of Duan Qinya's mouth.

While no one was paying attention, Li Yanhong pinched her waist hard in a place where no one could see. This time, she didn't save any strength at all and her face turned red with pain.

It hurts, but it’s true!

But since it's real, it's even more scary, okay!

Seeing Li Yanhong blushing for some reason, Duan Qinya thought she was embarrassed and couldn't help but joked, "Look at you, my dear, you're still embarrassed."

"I've actually been wanting to tell you these things for a long time. I'm so relieved to be able to marry you. What do you dislike? What do you dislike? To be honest, I'm even afraid that you dislike me."

Pushing her daughter away and signaling her to direct the workers to move the furniture, Duan Qinya took the place where Sun Miao had just stood and held Li Yanhong's hand affectionately.

"My dear in-laws, I'd like you to stop being polite to me in the future. Let's just visit each other more often. If I give you something, just accept it and don't worry about what others say."

"I'll accept the gifts you give me. We don't need to worry about what others think. Those who say you're trying to curry favor with us, that you're trying to climb the social ladder and take advantage of us..."

She snorted, "Those villains have mouths on their faces. Let them say whatever they want. Look at you, even though you've always avoided suspicion and lived openly, aren't there still these villains who find ways to laugh at you?"

Unlike her daughter who was reserved when mocking Zhang Guifang, Duan Qinya had no scruples and directly pointed at Zhang Guifang and fired back.

Moreover, she was at a higher level, and after firing her criticism, she also explained in a nonchalant manner why the two families had not interacted much for so many years.

Tell everyone that it’s not that her Sun family looks down on the Lin family and doesn’t want to associate with them.

But Li Yanhong was an arrogant person and didn't want to rely on the influence of her powerful in-laws. She was afraid of gossip, so she kept her distance from them.

As the saying goes, old ginger is wiser. After Duan Qinya's explanation, everyone present looked at Li Yanhong with admiration.

If it were them, if their children were able to marry into the Yue family like Lin Jun, they would not have to go to the Yue family again and again to ask for favors, but they would definitely try to take advantage of them.

Wouldn't it be stupid to refuse the benefits?

But Li Yanhong is so "stupid". Even though her family has been in such a difficult situation in recent years, she doesn't even bother to ask for money from her in-laws. Instead, she doesn't want to curry favor with her in-laws because of the difficulties her family is facing.

Such character...

Some people couldn't help but give Li Yanhong a thumbs up.

This is the kind of person you can make friends with.

It's no wonder that after divorcing Lin Yuanshan, she was able to raise two children alone, without owing anyone anything and without causing much trouble to others. In the past, they would have said that Li Yanhong had a unique personality.

He has a weird temper and doesn't like to interact with people too deeply or hang out with them too often.

But now after hearing what Li Yanhong's mother-in-law said, everyone suddenly understood!

Li Yanhong is not a person with a bad temper. She has her own pride and principles. She knows that her family situation is more difficult than others. She is afraid of being helped and taken care of by other families if she interacts too much with them, and she is afraid of troubling and dragging others down.

Only then did I calm down and stop socializing with people.

Someone sighed, "Aunt Li is always like this. Didn't you see that last time when Lin Yuanshan's stepdaughter came to our house and we helped her out, it wasn't a big deal, but Aunt Li treated us to bone soup and bought us so many bones and meat. She repaid the favor right away and didn't owe us anything."

The person who said this was not being sarcastic, he really felt that Li Yanhong's character was rare.

Take Zhang Guifang standing there, for example. She constantly boasts about her family's good financial situation and how successful her son is, and how much he earns. But when is it Zhang Guifang who takes advantage of them? Forget about repaying a favor like Li Yanhong, Zhang Guifang even feels indebted to her eldest son.

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Aunt Li's character is impeccable!"

…

Su Lixuan was shocked. What was this called? Creating a persona online to change reputation?

You should know that even in the original book, Li Yanhong's reputation was not good. With her "good" neighbor Zhang Guifang acting as a loudspeaker and criticizing Li Yanhong all day long, Li Yanhong's reputation was ruined.

She is stingy, has a bad temper, is gloomy, and is also domineering... In short, she is a very unpleasant old lady. This impression is deeply rooted in the minds of readers of the original book.

Unexpectedly, Duan Qinya made a stunning debut, and with one move, she brought about a major reversal of Li Yanhong's reputation!

Not to mention Su Lixuan, even Li Yanhong herself could not have imagined that there would be a day in her life when she would be respected and praised by everyone.

The key point is that she hasn't done anything, but somehow she seems to have become the character benchmark in the slum.

When she came to her senses and saw her old rival Zhang Guifang gasping for breath and looking as if she was so angry that she couldn't live anymore, Li Yanhong couldn't help but open her mouth and reveal her two rows of white teeth.

She has good and white teeth, and this smile really hurt Zhang Guifang's eyes!

Li Yanhong: "Mother-in-law, what can I say..."

Duan Qinya held her hand tightly, saying everything without saying a word: "No need to say anything. Don't avoid us in the future. Let's just move around normally and see who is still plotting against you with bad intentions."

After greeting everyone around, Duan Qinya pulled Li Yanhong towards the house she had bought: "Let's not stand outside like idiots, let's go see how Miaomiao's house is decorated."
