Chapter 32
Zhou Jinmei stared at Ye Fuyue with resentment.
She had originally thought that Ye Fuyue was just like Ye Fuyun, a soft persimmon who could be manipulated at will. Unexpectedly, Ye Fuyue was quite sharp-tongued, completely different from Ye Fuyun.
Look at how beautifully Ye Fuyue said it. In the final analysis, it was just one sentence, saying that her daughter Wu Aixia was asking for a beating!
"My Aixia is not an unreasonable person. You keep saying that Aixia scolds and beats you. If you hadn't done something to provoke her, would she have scolded and beaten you?" Zhou Jinmei said.
There were still traces of tears on Wu Aixia's face. She straightened her chest and insisted that Zhou Jinmei was right.
"Aunt Zhou, you hit the nail on the head. I was just about to have a good talk with everyone in your Wu family." Ye Fuyue said with a forced smile.
"Wu Longfei and I ran into each other at the compound gate, and he insisted that I was waiting for him on purpose. He also said that Ye Fuyun came to my house a few days ago and asked for pork rib soup, but I didn't give it to him because I still liked him and couldn't forget him. I resented Ye Fuyun for not giving it to him."
"Aunt Zhou, you've been the head of the household, so you should know better than me how hard it is to get meat. We only have so many spare ribs, not enough for our family of four. Your Ye Fuyun shamelessly came to me to ask for them, so isn't it normal for me not to give them to you? Instead of reflecting on why you can't even afford spare ribs, you still have the audacity to come to my house to ask for them, and instead think that I can't forget Wu Longfei and that's why I won't give them to you. You guys are so shameless!"
The neighbors in the slum who were watching were whispering to each other.
The Shen family's pork rib soup was so delicious that it was known to everyone in the courtyard. But no one expected that there would be such a thing.
Ye Fuyun felt a little guilty after hearing what Ye Fuyue said, because she was the first one to say "Ye Fuyue still can't forget Wu Longfei".
"You and I are sisters. If you have disliked Long Fei for a long time, why didn't you give me a bowl of pork rib soup when I asked you for it? You were not like this before. You always remembered me, your sister, when you had anything delicious." Ye Fuyun said confidently.
People in the compound always liked to gossip about the fact that the wife of the Shen family had dated Wu Longfei before. More or less, some people wondered in their hearts whether the wife of the Shen family had not forgotten Wu Longfei yet.
After hearing what Ye Fuyun said, many people nodded in agreement, thinking that Ye Fuyun was right and that the Shen family's daughter-in-law might not have forgotten Wu Longfei.
Ye Fuyue smiled faintly, her smile full of sarcasm: "Because I am different from you, I am not a thief from my in-laws' family! I am now the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. The money I bought the ribs was given by the Shen family. The Shen family doesn't have enough to eat, so why should I use the Shen family's things to subsidize you and my family? According to you, I have to give you whatever you want. Then I ask you to empty the Wu family to subsidize me and my family. You should be happy with it."
Zhou Jinmei's expression suddenly changed. She glared at Ye Fuyun fiercely, as if Ye Fuyun really had this plan - after all, Ye Fuyun did have a criminal record.
Ye Fuyun said in panic: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a thief from my husband's family. I have never subsidized my parents' family!"
"Indeed, the two sisters are married now. How could they still be like before, where the elder sister gives the younger sister everything she wants? The elder sister also has a husband's family!"
"Yes!" All the aunts and ladies who had wives agreed with Ye Fuyue's words.
"Let's talk about it again. Your Wu family spread rumors that I can't forget Wu Longfei." Ye Fuyue said, "I used to be in a relationship with Wu Longfei. My husband and my mother-in-law know about it. But ever since Wu Longfei got together with my sister, I haven't spoken to him a word since then. After that, I was lucky enough to meet Chen Yao."
"After meeting Chen Yao, I realized how blind I was to fall for someone like Wu Longfei. Whether it's appearance, height or work, my man is much better than Wu Longfei. I just stated these facts, and Wu Aixia found them offensive, so she scolded me and hit me, and then she fell down."
Hearing Ye Fuyue praising him in public, Shen Yao's originally gloomy mood gradually brightened.
He held Ye Fuyue's hand and gave her an approving and encouraging smile.
He didn't care that Ye Fuyue and Wu Longfei had been together before. Just like he had seen her several times before, these things happened before they met, so there was no need for him to dwell on the past.
But he still liked hearing Ye Fuyue praising him like that.
However, no one in the Wu family liked to hear these words.
"What the hell are you talking about!" Zhou Jinmei was the first one who couldn't stand it. She cursed, "How is my Long Fei worse than Chen Yao?"
"Is he taller than Chen Yao? Is he more handsome than Chen Yao? Does he do a better job than Chen Yao?" Ye Fuyue asked three questions in a row, stumping Zhou Jinmei.
Apart from the more subjective question of "handsome", everyone knows that Wu Longfei is indeed not as good as Shen Yao in the other two aspects.
"But this doesn't mean that my Long Fei is worse than Chen Yao!" Zhou Jinmei argued with a red face.
"No one cares what happens to Wu Longfei. I just want you Wu family members to know that I, Ye Fuyue, only like my man. People like Wu Longfei are simply not worthy of my attention." Ye Fuyue said forcefully, "If I hear you Wu family members spreading rumors that I can't forget Wu Longfei again, I will send you all to the police."
"That's right!" Chen Guifeng said, hands on her hips, "If you continue to ruin my daughter-in-law's reputation, I'll have the police come and arrest you!"
"I won't let you go either." Shen Yao added in a cold voice.
The expressions of Zhou Jinmei and the other three were extremely ugly.
They wanted to deny it, saying they hadn't said Ye Fuyue couldn't forget Wu Longfei, that it was someone else who said it. But that was like indirectly admitting that Wu Longfei was inferior to Shen Yao, which also made them lose face.
They could only complain and couldn't say anything.
Ye Fuyue glanced at the crowd and continued, "If I hear anyone say that I can't forget Wu Longfei, I'll send them to the police. Anyone who dares to destroy my reputation will be humiliated."
No one spoke. Some people looked uneasy and didn't dare to meet Ye Fuyue's gaze directly.
Everyone was thinking silently in their hearts: This daughter-in-law of the Shen family is really a powerful character!
After everyone dispersed and returned to their homes, they closed their doors and continued to discuss the matter.
Aunt Liang, her eldest son Liang Nan, and her eldest daughter-in-law Cui Yongfang said, "This daughter-in-law from the Shen family is too powerful. I'm afraid she will ride on Chen Guifeng's head in the future. Chen Guifeng worked hard to raise three sons, but her second son married a daughter-in-law like this. I'm afraid Chen Guifeng's life will be difficult again in the future."
