Of course, the rumors about Qian Guoming having an affair with the widow happened more than 20 years ago.
That was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it's not surprising that there were those kinds of rumors. Back then, some people could actually have three or four wives and concubines.
Of course, it's definitely not nominally true.
Chen Su didn't know whether Qian Guoming had anything going on with that widow, but that didn't stop her from using it to attack Liu Cuilian.
She doesn't necessarily want to pick a fight with women, but she won't offend others unless they offend her. Since others are coming at her like this, she can't just passively take the beating, can she?
"You know what, there were indeed rumors about Old Qian and that Widow Lin back then, but after Widow Lin remarried, there was no further news." Ye Yulian finally recalled what happened more than 20 years ago.
But in reality, many people, even after getting married, still have affairs with other people.
People still venture into the woods in the countryside, and it's not uncommon in the city as well.
Some even know their partners are aware of it, but since everyone is just living together, you can have an affair with someone else, and so can I.
However, this situation wasn't as carefree several years ago, since being caught having an affair could have dire consequences.
So even if something happens, it's done secretly, and no one dares to know.
When the topic of gossip came up, Ye Yulian couldn't help but chat with Chen Suwen about some gossip she had heard.
Kang Xiaohe also joined in, thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
Chen Suwen was not surprised at all.
Although she was an orphan in her previous life and grew up in an orphanage, she was not without classmates and friends.
She also enjoys surfing the internet, so she knows quite a bit about the chaotic private lives of the "older generation".
People of this era are conservative in their thinking, but their behavior is anything but conservative.
Children of the 21st century and beyond have very open minds, but their behavior is very conservative.
Looking back at the entertainment industry, those who went to jail or had affairs are still active on screen, while in later years, affairs, prostitution, and so on led to scandals and downfall.
As for going to jail, that would definitely mean being blacklisted.
Tax evasion has been blocked.
In the 1980s and 1990s, things weren't so strict, and Hong Kong celebrities had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves.
...
"Mom, what exactly are you and Tian Tian planning?"
Liu Cuilian told Chen Suwen that although the story of Su Tiantian and Zhou Cunzong having an affair was just hearsay, it was still being discussed by some people.
Su Tiantian's words at the supply and marketing cooperative were too ambiguous. Although Zhou Cunzong's attitude was not very open, it did not prevent others from making malicious speculations.
The news quickly reached Su Tiantian's older sister, Su Tingting, who rushed home to confront her mother.
She knew very well what kind of person her mother was, and knew that no matter how much her mother loved her sister, she could never surpass her brothers.
Although she had been jealous of Su Tiantian's parents' favor more than once, she also knew that her mother would sell Su Tiantian for profit.
Isn't she a perfect example?
She didn't believe that her mother loved Su Tiantian more than her, so she wouldn't sell Su Tiantian the same way she sold her.
Su Tingting thought about how her parents had sold her and about her in-laws' situation, and looked at Liu Yufeng with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Mom, do you know what people are saying outside? They're saying you let Tian Tian seduce married men, let her break up other people's families, and be a slut!"
"What exactly do you want?"
"Even if you want to sell Tian Tian for a good price, does it have to be Zhou Cunzong? He's already married, okay?"
"There are so many unmarried men who want money, why don't you consider that, instead of going to find a man who already has a wife and children?"
Sun Tingting was furious.
She knew very well that if she let her mother and sister continue like this, the Su family's reputation would be ruined, and she would suffer as well.
The thought of her in-laws' situation and the way her husband beat her with a ferocious expression made her hate her mother so much she wanted to grind her teeth.
Yes, Su Tingting married a man who abused her.
The man she married wasn't even a first-time husband; he had two previous wives, both of whom he had driven away.
He wouldn't be beaten to death, but even his ex-wife couldn't stand being beaten by him.
His first wife couldn't stand the beatings anymore, and her family came to their home to force her to divorce him.
The second wife endured the situation for a while. Because of the divorce from his first wife, the man was "smart" enough to find a wife whose family wasn't very supportive.
But after being beaten so many times, and even suffering two miscarriages due to beatings during her pregnancies, she couldn't take it anymore and ran away instead of getting a divorce.
In fact, not everyone in this era goes to get a marriage certificate; most people consider it marriage to have a banquet.
Su Tingting's husband's second wife was in the same situation. They didn't get a marriage certificate, and even though she married from the countryside to the city, her household registration wasn't transferred to her husband's family.
So after she ran away, she didn't need to go through any formalities.
Su Tingting got married under such circumstances.
Because that man's father was a leader, his mother had a job, and he himself had a well-paying job.
Even if it's a third marriage, they can still afford a hefty dowry. Liu Yufeng, the mother, is greedy for money, so of course she married off her unloved daughter, Su Tingting, to the groom.
Every time Su Tingting was beaten, she resented her mother and her family, and of course, she resented her husband and his family even more.
