Chapter 308 Is Cen Yan completely without fault?
Yu Qingguo's face darkened again, but his wife's words, though rough, were reasonable.
"Qi Jingchuan still has some sense of righteousness and didn't make a big deal out of it, but the whole compound knows that my mother, Yu Qingguo's mother, climbed over their courtyard wall in the middle of the night."
"Even when I came back, that old woman from the Tang family dragged me into a political lecture: 'Mom, have I ever been short of food or clothing? Why did you have to pickpocket me?'"
"You're making me eat the food you stole? Do you want me to be unable to clear my name even if I jump into the sea?!"
Sister-in-law Yu: "That's right, that's right, she's getting senile, how could she do that?"
"Shut up! I'm talking to my son, and you're stirring things up from the sidelines. What are you up to?"
Tian Ying's forehead throbbed, and she yelled "Sister-in-law Yu!" before speaking earnestly to Yu Qingguo:
“Son, there’s a misunderstanding here. The pork cracklings we’re having today were bought by Xianxian, your sworn sister, who went to queue up early this morning and used her meat coupons. She didn’t steal them from anyone. The rendered pork fat is still in the cupboard. If you don’t believe me, Mom will show it to you!”
Tian Ying hurriedly went to the cupboard and brought back the oil jar.
Looking at the full jar of oil, Yu Qingguo thought that if they used it sparingly, it would be enough for his whole family to cook for half a year. He never expected that his sworn sister would be so generous, bringing such a large jar of oil to the family.
Thinking about it this way, the pie he just trampled and crushed was really a waste!
Seeing Tian Ying's tearful face, Yu Qingguo wondered if he had misunderstood his elderly mother, and he felt very sad.
He demanded confirmation: "So, Mom, you really didn't steal the pork cracklings from Qi Jingchuan and Cen Yan's house? And the rumors that you climbed over the wall at night to steal things are all slander?"
“Mom, you don’t need to be afraid of anyone. As long as you’ve been framed, even if it means offending your superiors, I will make Qi Jingchuan and Cen Yan apologize to the Yu family! And that old woman from the Tang family must also write a self-criticism and apologize to my son and me.”
The embarrassing "ideological and political education class" cannot be wasted; an explanation is necessary.
Can!
Upon hearing this, Tian Ying immediately lowered her head, her eyes darting away.
"Oh! You're so magnanimous, I don't want to stoop to your level. They're just jealous that I have such a filial son."
Sister-in-law Yu had no intention of giving Tian Ying a quick death; this old hag had set many rules for her.
Even today's pork crackling filling pancakes weren't prepared for her, how annoying!
Therefore, Aunt Yu said, "Mom, is it that you don't want to argue, or that you don't have the confidence to argue?"
"Make sure things are made clear. Don't let Qingguo go looking for trouble and only to run into a brick wall. If he goes to Commander Qi's house to cause trouble without any evidence, he'll offend his superiors and they'll think he's being unreasonable."
"This is none of your business!"
“How can this not be my business? I am Qingguo’s wife, and you are my mother-in-law. I treat you like my own mother. If my own mother is wronged, I must find out the whole story so that I can get justice for you!” Aunt Yu said indignantly.
Tian Ying fell silent, not daring to look Yu Qingguo in the eye.
Yu Qingguo isn't stupid; he's served as a squad leader in the army for so long and has now been promoted to platoon leader.
He stood up angrily, "Mom, you really did those things, didn't you! How could you do this? You've embarrassed me so much!! How can I ever hold my head up in the family compound again?!"
Tian Ying was furious.
"I didn't know that brat Cen Yan was so cunning, daring to install glass on the wall. I was indeed a little greedy to borrow some pork lard from them. But even if we take a step back, is it entirely wrong for Cen Yan to guard against her neighbors like a thief?"
