Seeing this, Yu Wenlin's body trembled violently, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked Aunt Tian beside him: "Aunt Tian, look, isn't that Sister Zhang? I remember she had already returned to her hometown in the countryside before, why is she here again? Did something happen that forced her to come back?" As he spoke, Yu Wenlin frowned slightly, his heart full of confusion and curiosity.
Auntie Tian said in surprise, "Don't you know? She's been back for several days!"
Yu Wenlin shook his head and said, "This is the first time I saw her today."
Aunt Tian started talking about Aunt Zhang.
Auntie Tian said, "Wenlin, did you know that Zhang's sister-in-law is here to remarry Old Zhang?"
Yu Wenlin blinked and said doubtfully, "Aren't they divorced? Mrs. Zhang is such a strong-willed person. Why would she put aside her pride and ask for remarriage? This isn't like her! Besides, would Old Zhang agree to what she did before?"
Auntie Tian patted her thigh and said with a smile, "She brought it upon herself. I heard that after she got divorced and returned to her parents' home, her brother and sister-in-law treated her very well at first because they were attracted by her money. But once they spent all her money, her family started to criticize her, both openly and covertly."
"You know how powerful Sister Zhang is. She had a huge argument with her family and was eventually kicked out by her brother and sister-in-law."
"She went to look for her sister, but her sister was also married, and her husband's family, including uncles and aunts, was a large family. There wasn't enough food at home, not to mention she was going out to make a living. It was obvious that her sister wouldn't take her in. Now she had nowhere to go, so she remembered Old Zhang and her youngest son."
Yu Wenlin sighed, "Sister-in-law Zhang, what a jerk! If she hadn't made such a fuss back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this. I just wonder if Old Zhang will remarry her?"
Aunt Tian said, "I heard that Old Zhang didn't agree."
Yu Wenlin frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Old Zhang is already this old now, and his health is not as good as before. He really needs someone to take good care of him! In my opinion, it would be a good idea for him and his ex-wife to remarry. That way, they can look after and support each other, and have a companion in life, instead of being alone and lonely."
Aunt Tian chuckled and said, "It's not as simple as you think."
Yu Wenlin asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Auntie Tian carefully looked around to make sure no one was around. Then she leaned closer to Yu Wenlin and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, I heard that Old Zhang has been doing really bad lately. He's actually found a widow who's ten years younger than him! And they're having a hot affair right now! Old Zhang isn't the same person he used to be! He's so energetic now."
When Yu Wenlin heard this, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face. His mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "Is this really true? You didn't hear it through the grapevine, did you?"
Seeing Yu Wenlin's surprised reaction, Aunt Tian couldn't help but feel secretly proud. She felt that what she had just said was so weighty and attractive.
At this moment, her eyes were sparkling with excitement, as bright as two bright stars, and she seemed eager to continue telling more details and inside stories about the matter.
Yu Wenlin said in shock: "Then, then, Mrs. Zhang... does she, does she know?"
Auntie Tian put down the soles she was sewing and, gesturing with her hands, described the situation vividly, "Oh my, you don't know! I heard that just when the two of them were about to get their marriage certificate, Auntie Zhang happened to come back at that very moment! When Auntie Zhang saw the widow and her husband getting the marriage certificate, she flew into a rage and rushed over to start beating and kicking the widow without saying a word."
"You don't know what the scene was like. It was a complete mess! Three people were pulling and tugging at each other, crying and shouting, and the people around them couldn't intervene even if they wanted to."
"The situation got so escalating that it was out of control. Someone couldn't stand it any longer and called the police. After the police arrived, they finally managed to calm the situation down!"
Yu Wenlin said in disbelief, "You even called the police? How come I haven't heard of this?"
Auntie Tian said, "Of course you don't know. At that time, weren't you living in the new house your daughter bought?"
Yu Wenlin nodded and said, "That's true. What's Old Zhang's attitude?"
Auntie Tian said, "Old Zhang is determined not to remarry Mrs. Zhang."
Yu Wenlin said, "That sister-in-law Zhang..."
Auntie Tian said, "She's staying home and refusing to leave. Old Zhang has moved all his things to the duty room."
Yu Wenlin said sympathetically, "This Mrs. Zhang is really something. She broke up a good family. It's a pity that their little son has no one to take care of him."
Auntie Tian shook her head and sighed, "That's right! In my opinion, Old Zhang's plan to find a companion is probably doomed to fail! Just think about it, there's a person like Mrs. Zhang standing here, and she's not a easy person to get along with. No matter who gets involved with Old Zhang, it will be very troublesome. I feel sorry for Old Zhang! Alas... maybe he owed Mrs. Zhang in his previous life..."
Just as the two of them were talking about the Zhang family, Li Mei and a young woman came to the National Security Bureau's staff quarters.
She led the woman straight to Yu Wenlin and said, "Hello, Aunt Yu."
Yu Wenlin asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why don't I know you?"
Li Mei said, "Auntie, you don't remember me. I'm Zeng Weiwei's good friend, Li Mei."
At the mention of Zeng Weiwei's name, Yu Wenlin's heart felt like it was being blocked by a huge rock, weighing heavily on him, making it hard to breathe. His face also darkened, and his previously calm face was now covered with a haze of gloom.
Meanwhile, as Li Mei and Yu Wenlin chatted, the woman who had come with her kept her gaze fixed on Dabao. Her eyes, sharp as a hawk's, stared intently at Dabao, not missing a single movement or expression. There seemed to be a hidden depth in those eyes, a depth that was difficult to grasp.
At this time, Aunt Tian noticed that Yu Wenlin's face looked a little strange, so she stared at Li Mei curiously, muttering in her heart: Why does this girl look so familiar?
Auntie Tian stood up and looked at Li Mei carefully before her. "Miss, where are you from?"
Li Mei turned her head slightly and glanced at Aunt Tian standing beside her with the corner of her eye, as if she didn't exist at all and completely ignored her questions that she was eager to get answers to.
