Chapter 405 You and Shan Xianxian have a grudge?
Aunt Tang just happened to be passing by and hadn't heard anything about what Cen Yan had done beforehand. She was just passing by when she overheard someone gossiping about Cen Yan behind her back, saying that she was a big spender.
She couldn't stand it and retorted directly, "Who do we have here? It's Tian Ying's shameless goddaughter! You're so thrifty and simple, yet you've managed to save up enough for a young woman to go and freeload at someone else's house. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Niu Xiaofen left and you're going to become the new Sister-in-law Yu. Even if she's your own sister, now that you're grown up, you shouldn't be clinging to the place where your brother is with his family."
"With your fingers so tightly clenched, can you at least keep your mouth shut a little better? Stop leaking poop everywhere! I can smell your bad breath as soon as I enter the residential compound, it's so annoying!"
"Hehe, Cen Yan can earn money herself, her husband can earn money, and her in-laws can earn money too. What's wrong with buying more things? What's wrong with buying luncheon meat cans, milk powder, and malted milk powder? If you can't stand it, go buy some too! Oh, I forgot, you have to rely on the Yu family for everything, and you're supported by your godbrother Yu Qingguo. Where would you get the money to buy canned food?"
"You're so poor you're practically bankrupt. You never do anything productive, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense here. I heard that after the New Year, there will be some openings for sanitation workers at the public toilets. You should get your brother Qingguo to pull some strings and help you get that job. Aren't you ashamed of always eating and drinking for free?"
After Aunt Tang finished speaking, many people who knew her fighting prowess and that she was a loyal supporter of Cen Yan dared not say another word and sided with Aunt Tang.
Whether Cen Yan is frugal or not, or whether she knows how to manage a household, they can't see the details, but they can witness firsthand that Cen Yan can earn money and help the women in the family compound earn money as well.
Shan Xianxian, a parasite dependent on Yu Qingguo, has no right to comment on Cen Yan's life.
"You—" Shan Xianxian blushed with embarrassment, and when she saw that her comrades who had just been speaking up for her had all turned against Tang Da Niang, she was even more ashamed.
She wanted to say that she wasn't a parasite, as she gave Tian Ying twelve yuan a month for food, plus five yuan for rent, and occasionally even subsidized her to buy meat.
But the aristocratic education she received in Shanghai and at the Cen family taught her that an elegant heiress shouldn't argue with fools; these lowly women who only care about men and children's diapers are not worthy of speaking to a noble heiress like her.
Arguing with them would be beneath me.
"I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with you all," Shan Xianxian said angrily as she left.
Aunt Tang rolled her eyes. "You're clearly in the wrong and can't say anything, tch."
After criticizing Shan Xianxian, Aunt Tang entered Cen Yan's courtyard. She knew perfectly well that Cen Yan had heard Shan Xianxian's inflammatory remarks outside, and she came in specifically to have a chat with Cen Yan.
"Don't take what those people outside are saying to heart. They're just jealous. When you were leading people to make money, they didn't come, and they weren't willing to use their off-get off work hours to do side jobs or handicrafts. Now, they're struggling to make ends meet for the Spring Festival, so naturally they feel resentful."
"This family is like a persistent ghost. I've run into this guy, Shan something? He's so sly and has been talking badly about you behind your back several times. Did you two know each other before? What kind of grudge did you have that makes the guy surnamed Shan so persistent?"
Cen Yan smiled without saying a word. How could a blood feud not be considered a major grudge?
