The onlookers were about to erupt in anger. "What is this woman doing? She's slandering soldiers. What are those most beloved people doing right now? They're protecting our country!"
"Who is this person! Our soldiers are fighting a bloody battle, and he's here slandering them!"
"Did she say her man left her? Does someone like that deserve to be a military spouse? She really doesn't deserve it..."
As the older women talked, they all gathered around Wen Shuqin, looking like they were about to reach out to her.
Perhaps people wouldn't be this emotional under normal circumstances. But there's a war going on right now, and soldiers on the battlefield are at risk of losing their lives at any moment. And yet this woman is speaking ill of soldiers.
Although Shen Ruomei no longer craved her mother's love, nor did she hold any hope for her mother, her mother's distortion of the truth still made her very uncomfortable.
Her actions in front of so many people made Shen Ruomei feel very embarrassed.
Shen Ruomei covered her ear with one hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
Xia Juntao saw her covering her ears and reached out to pull them away. "Let me see how badly you're hurt..."
The angry looks from the surrounding crowd frightened Wen Shuqin. But she was also unwilling to accept it. Had she said something wrong? Hadn't Shen Changchuan abandoned her? Hadn't Ruomei willingly lowered herself to set up a street stall?
Wen Shuqin turned around and saw Xia Juntao touching Chen Ruomei's ear. "You two are shameless, touching each other like this in the street, and nobody knows what's going on behind your back..."
Back at home, Wen Shuqin often used such insulting language to speak of Shen Ruomei. She wouldn't say it in public because she wanted to maintain her image. But now that she had nothing left to protect, she could say such things without thinking.
Liu Shuhong arrived when Wen Shuqin started her tantrum, and she only kept quiet after Xia Juntao turned the situation around. She truly couldn't believe that a mother could talk to her daughter like that.
Wen Shuqin's enthusiasm is just like her mother-in-law's!
Liu Shuhong went up and slapped Wen Shuqin across the face. "Are you even my own mother? I've never seen a mother like you!"
"You're all mothers, right?" Liu Shuhong asked, pointing to several women around her. "Would you ruin your own children's reputations? What mother would smear her own child?"
Xia Juntao's face flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell. "You hit her so hard just now, I was just checking if you hurt her!"
I'm her class monitor. Is it wrong for me to care about my classmate?
I'm neither married nor in a relationship right now. I just have feelings for my classmate, and I'm completely open about it. It's not as despicable as you make it out to be!
"My God, who is this person?!"
"Beat her up!"
"Take him to the police station..."
Seeing that everyone was about to come up, Wen Shuqin got scared and turned to run away.
Shen Ruomei couldn't help but sob.
Liu Shuhong truly realized that there are all kinds of mothers in the world. She hugged Shen Ruomei. "Alright, don't cry, don't cry! Look, the eyes of the masses are discerning!"
You are a good girl!
"Aren't you selling clothes? Let me see your clothes!" Liu Shuhong didn't want to miss the opportunity to help Shen Ruomei sell clothes.
As Liu Shuhong spoke, she reached for the clothes, reminding the onlookers that the girl was still selling clothes. She wanted to sell clothes to earn money to help her sister-in-law, who was also a military dependent.
