Chapter 438
He imitated the way Yue Cai had hit him just now, and swung his fists to hit Yue Xun again and again.
"If I hadn't gone to the countryside, would you still be able to stay in the city and live the life you have now?!"
"You've always looked down on me, haven't you? You look down on me because I don't have a job, and you look down on me because I can't get a wife. Don't you think that if I hadn't gone to the countryside, I'd be doing your job and sleeping with your wife now!"
"Your current life is what I earned by going to the countryside!"
Yue Xun and Yue Cai started fighting each other, one pushing the other to the ground.
Aunt Yue ran over anxiously and pulled the two of them apart: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! You are brothers, how can you fight over a stranger!"
But Yue Xun and Yue Cai were both furious. Yue Xun had disliked Yue Cai for a long time, while Yue Cai was blinded by humiliation and anger. Aunt Yue couldn't pull the two apart, and the two couldn't hear what Aunt Yue said.
Aunt Yue was anxious and angry, and suddenly remembered that it was Sufen who caused all this.
Unable to pull her two sons apart, she picked up the fallen broom and was about to hit Sufen again. However, when she looked around, there was no sign of Sufen.
"Your daughter-in-law ran away a long time ago." said an aunt who was watching the fun.
Aunt Yue's face was gloomy: "Where did she run off to?"
"She ran in that direction, I don't know where she went." An aunt said, pointing in a certain direction.
"Of course she will run away. If she doesn't run, she'll be waiting for you to beat her." An aunt said mockingly.
"Sufen usually looks honest, with her eyes downcast all day long and rarely speaking. I never thought she would do such a thing." The onlookers started talking in front of Aunt Yue.
"This can't be blamed entirely on Sufen. Yue Xun is also involved. Yue Xun just said that he is jealous of Yue Cai. He deliberately wanted to get together with Sufen to disgust Yue Cai."
"Yue Xun is trying to disgust Yue Cai, but what does Su Fen want? Does she really like Yue Xun?"
"I don't think Sufen likes Yue Xun that much. She probably wants to disgust Aunt Yue. Although Yue Cai treats her well, he knows that she cheated on him, but he didn't even hit her. Instead, he hit Yue Xun. But Aunt Yue puts the blame on her. Aunt Yue usually doesn't like her and is not satisfied with her. She always thinks she is lazy and not diligent enough."
"How many mothers-in-law don't dislike their daughters-in-law? Even if Aunt Yue dislikes her, at least her husband treats her well. Why would she bother to hook up with her husband's brother and disgust her own mother-in-law?"
"That's why I say she's cruel. She seems so honest in normal times, but she does such a big thing behind the scenes."
"There are so many ruthless people in our compound. There's Ye Fuyun in front and Su Fen in the back, each one more ruthless than the other."
“…”
The Yue family's turmoil had everyone in the compound talking about it for a long time. Among them, Aunt Qian was the most relieved.
At first, it was Aunt Qian who first took a fancy to Sufen because her parents' home was close to Aunt Yue's. Aunt Qian asked Aunt Yue to inquire about Sufen's situation. However, Aunt Yue was not a good person and intervened, introducing Sufen to Yue Cai. That's when Aunt Qian and Aunt Yue broke up.
Fortunately, Aunt Yue rushed to introduce Sufen to her own son, otherwise it would be her family that would be laughed at by everyone in the compound.
At first, Aunt Qian was laughed at behind the scenes by some people in the compound for a long time. Now, Qian Qiang has been admitted to university and is a college student. His family has not encountered the embarrassing things that happened to Aunt Yue's family, so who laughs at her anymore?
When Qian Qiang came back from college, Aunt Qian told him the story of Yue's family in vivid detail.
Finally, she sighed and said, "This is what people often say: what goes around comes around."
"Good fortune lies within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune lies within the shadow of good fortune," said Qian Qiang.
"Yes, yes, yes," Aunt Qian said, "It's a good thing you and her didn't get along. Who could bear to marry a daughter-in-law like that?"
"Oh, by the way," Aunt Qian continued, "I heard that Sufen ran away. She hasn't come back since the last incident."
Qian Qiang was not interested in the gossip in the slum, but even if he didn't say anything, Aunt Qian would still talk about it with great interest.
Aunt Qian continued, "No one knows where she ran off to. Yue Cai and Aunt Yue even went to her parents' home to look for her, but she never returned."
"I'm afraid Yue Cai's wife won't come back. When Yue Cai married her, your aunt gave her quite a bit of betrothal gifts. She even boasted to me that her family was rich and could afford such a large betrothal gift, so she was able to marry Su Fen. We weren't as rich as hers, so we didn't marry Su Fen."
"Now that your daughter-in-law has run away, and Yue Xun and Yue Cai are estranged again, what else can your aunt-in-law brag about?"
Qian Qiang only reacted slightly when he heard the names of Yue Xun and Yue Cai.
Before Sufen's incident, Aunt Qian and Aunt Yue had a good relationship. When they were little, Qian Qiang often played with Yue Xun and Yue Cai. But as they grew older, Qian Qiang, Yue Xun, and Yue Cai couldn't play together anymore, and their relationship grew a little distant. But when they bumped into each other in the compound, they still greeted each other warmly.
"Are Yue Xun and Yue Cai still living together now?" Qian Qiang asked.
"Of course they lived together. Yue Xun didn't have a job, so where else could he live? Yue Cai felt that since he contributed to the family's expenses every month, he was entitled to live at home. But they would fight from time to time, and it was quite fierce. I heard it all clearly at home."
Aunt Qian sighed, "Yue Xun and Yue Cai used to have such a good relationship. But because of Su Fen's incident, they are now in such a mess. Your aunt is almost worried to death."
In the last sentence, Aunt Qian's tone clearly contained a hint of gloating.
"Let's not talk about other people's business," Qian Qiang said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Seeing Qian Qiang so serious, Aunt Qian's expression also became serious. She felt a little uneasy, fearing that what Qian Qiang was going to tell her was similar to what Sufen said.
"I have a girlfriend. She and I are from the same department and are also from Hsinchu City." Qian Qiang said.
Aunt Yue's face was full of surprise: "She is also a college student?"
Qian Qiang nodded: "Yeah."
"That's great!" Aunt Yue was very happy.
They are both college students and from the city. Qian Qiang's partner is much better than Sufen, the one she had chosen for Qian Qiang.
"When will you bring her back for mom to see?" Aunt Yue said excitedly.
"It's still early. Let's talk about it when you are about to graduate from university. I just want to tell you now that this happened." Qian Qiang said.
"Okay, okay," Aunt Yue said, having no objection at all. "If she's a good girl, talk to her properly. When you're ready, bring her back for me to see. Don't let her down."
Qian Qiang smiled and nodded, "I know, I won't let her down."
