Chapter 426
After a period of time, the small western-style building was indeed much quieter. Ergouzi went to prison, and his parents never came to the small western-style building to cause trouble for Zhong Lan and Cui Li again.
Life became peaceful again.
One day, Zhou Jinmei met two familiar figures on her way back to the slum after buying vegetables at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The first person she met was Sufen, the daughter-in-law of her aunt-in-law. Sufen was carrying a basket and looked like she was going to buy vegetables.
Zhou Jinmei muttered to herself: It's already this late, and I can only buy leftovers from other people at the supply and marketing cooperative. This aunt's wife is just like what she said, not diligent at all, and she doesn't even rush to buy groceries early.
Zhou Jinmei looked down on Sufen in her heart and stared at her for a long time.
However, Sufen did not walk towards the supply and marketing cooperative, but turned a corner and entered the park.
Zhou Jinmei was stunned for a moment, and then she despised Sufen even more in her heart.
Why go to the park if you don't go shopping? This aunt-in-law's daughter-in-law is really lazy.
Zhou Jinmei clicked her tongue and shook her head. Just as she was about to continue walking towards the slum, she saw Yue Xun coming from the opposite street.
Zhou Jinmei didn't take it seriously at first, but subconsciously glanced at Yue Xun a few more times. However, just as she was about to look away, she saw Yue Xun also turning into the park.
Zhou Jinmei was stunned, her intuition told her that this was a bit strange.
As soon as my aunt's daughter-in-law entered the park with a basket of vegetables, my aunt's son also entered the park. It couldn't be such a coincidence that the two of them both wanted to go for a stroll in the park.
Zhou Jinmei planned to follow and see.
When she entered the park, she saw Yue Xun entering a woods.
Zhou Jinmei ran over, but didn't dare to rush into the woods for fear of being discovered. She could only walk along the edge of the woods, peering in. Fortunately, she actually saw something.
Sufen was walking in the woods with Yue Xun, carrying a basket of vegetables. No one knew what they were talking about, but they were very close to each other, which was definitely not a normal distance.
Zhou Jinmei widened her eyes, wanting to see more clearly, but the two of them walked further inside.
Zhou Jinmei was so anxious that she really wanted to follow and see what was going on.
But there were few people in the woods. If she really followed them, she would easily be discovered, and she didn't want to alert the enemy. More importantly, the little she had discovered earlier was enough for her to gossip.
Zhou Jinmei showed a hint of joy on her face, smiled, turned and left.
As soon as she returned to the slum, she went to her aunt's house first.
Before she even reached her aunt's house, Zhou Jinmei ran into her aunt who had just returned from chatting.
Zhou Jinmei smiled happily and took the initiative to talk to her aunt-in-law: "Aunt, where did you go?"
"We just went over there and had a conversation." said Aunt Yue.
"Where is your Sufen? Why can't I see her?" Zhou Jinmei asked with a smile.
Aunt Yue felt a little strange.
Sufen rarely wandered around the compound, and even less often chatted with the people there. It was normal that Zhou Jinmei hadn't seen Sufen, since she was usually at home.
Aunt Yue said, "She went to buy groceries."
Zhou Jinmei looked as if she had realized something. "I just came back from the supply and marketing cooperative buying vegetables. I think I ran into your Sufen on the street. She was carrying a vegetable basket."
"However," Zhou Jinmei changed the subject, "she didn't go towards the supply and marketing cooperative, but went into the park."
Aunt Yue's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Are you sure it's her?"
Zhou Jinmei pretended to be confused: "I don't know either. She looks like your daughter-in-law."
Aunt Yue scolded: "Tell her to go buy some vegetables, but she squeezes in time to be lazy!"
Zhou Jinmei looked at Aunt Yue's expression and thought: This is not what I wanted to say.
She said, "I even ran into your Yue Xun."
Aunt Yue was stunned.
After she asked Sufen to go buy groceries, she went to chat with someone. When she left, Yue Xun was still at home. She really didn't know that Yue Xun had also gone out.
"He also entered the park." Zhou Jinmei finished the second half of the sentence.
Aunt Yue was stunned again.
Did Yue Xun go to the park? Was he bored at home and went to the park to relax?
Seeing that Aunt Yue hadn't figured out the key point, Zhou Jinmei said, "Since the weather was nice today, I went for a walk in the park. And you know what? I saw your Yue Xun and Su Fen in the woods in the park!"
Aunt Yue was completely confused and subconsciously asked, "What are they doing in the park?"
"I don't know." Zhou Jinmei shook her head and said seriously, "But I saw that they were quite intimate, very close. What wife would be so close to her husband's brother?"
Aunt Yue's face paled, and she immediately became furious. Glancing at Zhou Jinmei, who looked like she was enjoying the show, she calmed down and feigned indifference, saying, "What's the big deal? Sufen has a good relationship with everyone in our family. They were just chatting, there's no such thing as intimacy."
Zhou Jinmei sneered and said, "If they have something to say to each other alone, they should say it in front of your youngest son! What kind of thing is it for your eldest son to meet with his sister-in-law alone?"
Aunt Yue was upset and now she couldn't stand Zhou Jinmei at all.
"What do you know?" Aunt Yue said, "I already knew about them going to the park, but you just mentioned it so suddenly that I didn't remember. I asked them to go out for a walk and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. I asked them to buy too many things, and I was afraid Sufen couldn't carry them back by herself, so I asked Yue Xun to go find her."
"But..." Zhou Jinmei wanted to say something, but Aunt Yue interrupted her.
"But what is it? Do you know more about my family affairs than I do?" Aunt Yue said and left.
Zhou Jinmei looked at her back, sneered, and went home in a good mood.
Aunt Yue was in a terrible mood.
If what Zhou Jinmei said was true, she couldn't imagine why Yue Xun needed to meet Su Fen alone, especially outside. She couldn't imagine whether it was Yue Xun who asked Su Fen to meet outside, or Su Fen who asked Yue Xun to meet outside. The two of them rarely exchanged a single word at home, and she had never seen them look each other in the eye. It had never occurred to her that they were so close behind the scenes.
Aunt Yue was restless at home. She looked towards the door from time to time to see when Yue Xun and Sufen would come back.
The first one to come back was Sufen. The bamboo basket in her hand contained the vegetables she had asked her to buy. Sufen looked calm, still with her usual humble and pleasant demeanor.
Seeing Sufen, Aunt Yue thought of what Zhou Jinmei had just said. The more she looked at her, the more she felt Sufen was being hypocritical, and a nameless anger rose in her heart.
"I asked you to buy some vegetables, why are you back only now?" Aunt Yue said unhappily.
"I came back as soon as possible." Sufen nodded and lowered her eyebrows, then went into the kitchen to put the vegetables in the bamboo basket.
