The old lady suddenly remembered Lin Sisi.
She still held onto Lin Qingyan, not letting her go. Lin Qingyan couldn't forcefully break free, so she could only stay where she was.
Lin Sisi approached Grandma Li and Li Qinqin and said, "Grandma, Qinqin, hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Sisi, and I'm a sent-down youth who came to our brigade a little over a month ago."
Li Qinqin didn't speak. Old Mrs. Li squinted her eyes and said "Oh," and smiled at Lin Sisi, "I know who you are. I've heard of you."
When Lin Sisi saw that Old Mrs. Li treated her so well, she thought that she could also curry favor with Old Mrs. Li and squeeze Lin Qingyan out.
"Grandma, it's my honor that you know me."
Grandma Li nodded: "Of course I know you. Aren't you the educated youth who took off your clothes and seduced your brother-in-law? Who doesn't know? Everyone in the brigade knows. They all call you shameless."
"ah?!"
Lin Sisi's face immediately darkened, while Lin Qingyan and Li Qinqin covered their mouths and chuckled.
Lin Sisi was so proud when Grandma Li told her she knew her, but now she's being called ugly and shameless, how embarrassing is that?
Last time in front of Gu Mingzhou, Aunt Liu said something to her, and this time in front of Lin Qingyan, the old lady said something to her again, even more harshly than Aunt Liu.
Why do we all have to make things difficult for her?
It's all Lin Qingyan's fault. If Lin Qingyan hadn't revealed this to those women, she wouldn't have been ostracized and ridiculed by them.
She's so incredibly embarrassed.
"I...I didn't seduce him."
"Who would believe you if you didn't seduce her? Hmm, I don't think you're that good-looking. If you hadn't taken off your clothes to seduce her, she probably wouldn't have taken the bait at all."
Grandma Li continued to add insult to injury, glancing at Lin Qingyan in the process.
Lin Sisi understood her look; she was implying that Lin Qingyan wasn't as pretty as her.
How could she not be as beautiful as Lin Qingyan? Lin Qingyan had always been sickly and pale. From childhood to adulthood, everyone who saw her praised her for her beauty, but no one ever praised Lin Qingyan.
She glanced triumphantly at Lin Qingyan, but then she realized that Lin Qingyan was very different from before.
Her face, which used to be thin, pale, and dull, is now much rounder. Her usually pale complexion has even gained a touch of rosiness, and her fair skin has a pinkish glow. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is fair with a rosy glow.
Lin Qingyan, she, she has become so beautiful.
I guess I hadn't really looked at her properly before, and I didn't realize how beautiful she had become.
But she couldn't lose; no matter how beautiful Lin Qingyan was, she wasn't as beautiful as her.
She looked at Grandma Li and said, "Grandma, you don't say I'm pretty because you're afraid I'll get arrogant, right? Even if you don't say it, I know I'm pretty."
"Eh!" Old Mrs. Li curled her lips again. "Girl, let me tell you, you're like a toad praising its own beauty, or a dung beetle praising its own offspring. You have no idea what you're really worth. Well, I'll be kind and tell you, you're really not pretty at all. I just love to tell the truth. Girl, from now on you'll be able to see yourself for who you are."
"I."
Lin Sisi almost coughed up blood. This old lady Li was so reckless; it must have been instigated by Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan, you are so despicable!
Unable to control her emotions, she glared angrily at Lin Qingyan, then looked at her pitifully and aggrievedly, saying, "You're the one who told everyone! Are you trying to drive me to my death before you'll stop?"
Before Lin Qingyan could say anything, Old Madam Li objected.
"What right do you have to talk about Qingyan? You did something shameless, using despicable means to steal her fiancé. She is the victim."
"But if she hadn't spoken up about it, no one else would have known."
"Lin Sisi, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Why can you fabricate stories about me out of thin air, but I can't tell you what you did? At least, you really did this one thing," Lin Qingyan said.
Lin Sisi shook her head: "Qingyan, I know why you keep clinging to this matter. I didn't intentionally seduce Mingzhou; it was just a coincidence that day. You lost Mingzhou, so you blame everything on me. Fine, if you really can't let go of Mingzhou, I can give him back to you. You're my sister; I can give you anything you want."
"I want your head to be my stool. Take it off," Lin Qingyan said expressionlessly.
"My head?" Lin Sisi sneered, "Even if I cut it off, you wouldn't dare sit on it."
"You're just too scared to cut it off, you're just pretending," Old Mrs. Li said disdainfully. "How about this, don't cut off your head, it's too scary to look at all that blood. Just let Qingyan sit on it. Lower your head a little, or lie down on the ground and let Qingyan sit on it."
Lin Qingyan smiled and took Li's arm: "Grandma, you're so funny."
"Lie down so Qingyan can sit on you," Old Mrs. Li ordered Lin Sisi again. "Lie down."
"Me." Lin Sisi bit her lip, looking extremely troubled. She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Grandma, you're joking. If I really lay down on the ground, I'll scare Qingyan away."
"If you dare to lie down, I dare to sit down." Lin Qingyan raised her chin at her.
“I dare to sit here!” said Old Mrs. Li. “I’ll just pretend I’m squatting in the outhouse.”
"Hahahaha." Lin Qingyan and Li Qinqin laughed together.
