Chapter 26: Breaking the Pot

Xiao Qingru returned from vacation and walked to work as usual.

"Comrade Xiao, I will be getting married in Jiang's hall in ten days. Remember to come and have a drink at the wedding."

Xiao Qingru looked at Du Wanqiu's body with a smile, "You are in great health."

Du Wanqiu felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and felt that Xiao Qingru was mocking her in a sarcastic way.

Is she mocking herself for having given birth to a child and not having a better figure than her?

Inferiority complex came quickly and suddenly. Du Wanqiu lowered her eyes and felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into public, being pointed at and criticized.

He pulled the old cotton jacket on his body and found that the sleeves were frayed, which formed a sharp contrast with the military coat on Xiao Qingru.

Embarrassment and humiliation came all at once.

Du Wanqiu began to regret that she should not have stopped Xiao Qingru just now.

It was difficult to force a smile, but that smile did not come from within, and it looked awkward no matter how I looked at it.

"You are a dancer. The bodies of ordinary people like us cannot compare to yours. Comrade Xiao, there is no need for you to belittle us ordinary people, right?"

Xiao Qingru chuckled, "I didn't say that. Don't use ordinary people as a cushion for your back."

"Comrade Xiao, I still understand your bad words."

"It seems that you are not good at listening to others."

Du Wanqiu's chest rose and fell violently. If he was secretly mocking her just now, now he was openly scolding her as a human being!

"Comrade Xiao, you are still intellectually gifted. Why do you speak so harshly?"

If Xiao Qingru didn't want to protect her reputation, she would have wanted to deal with Du Wanqiu simply and roughly.

With a sincere face, he said, "Comrade Du, I am flattering you. Look at you. Not only do you not take care of your period, but you also go to the mountains to seek death during your period. You are fine even though you torture your body like this. I said you are in good health. Is there a problem?"

Du Wanqiu was speechless and puzzled. When did Xiao Qingru become so eloquent?

It seems that she was pretending in the past, just to make Jiang Ru think she was a gentle girl.

What a chance!

It's a pity that Jiang Yu doesn't love her anymore.

It was almost late for work, and Xiao Qingru was too lazy to talk to Du Wanqiu.

"You are so proud of picking up things that others don't have. It seems that you are quite good at picking up junk. You won't be able to survive in the future. You don't have to pretend to go to the back mountain. Picking up junk is also a way out."

Du Wanqiu was about to explode with anger, and cursed, "You are so proud, but there are still no men willing to love you!"

Turning around, she saw her neighbor looking at her with a half-smile, and Du Wanqiu immediately put on a smile.

"Mrs. Li, are you going out?"

"Oh, watch a play."

He carried the basket and walked away with his head turned.

Du Wanqiu was feeling uneasy. Was her voice just now loud?

Did the man hear what she was saying?

Probably not, right?

Du Wanqiu was restless the whole day because she was worried that the news of her scolding Xiao Qingru would get out.

Is it because this incident affected her image and made the Jiang family unhappy with her, so she must be miserable?

As she wished, the news really got out.

"Looking at her smug face, I don't find it strange that she cursed Xiao Qingru behind her back."

"It's so funny. If Xiao Qing gets back together with Jiang Ru as she wishes, what will she have to do with it?"

"I didn't expect that Xiao Qing, who is so gentle and polite, would actually curse at people."

"Even rabbits bite when they are angry. This happened to you. I'm afraid you hit someone."

"Xiao Qingru's conditions are there. Some people are short-sighted and think that by snatching a man away, they are snatching away everything from him."

"This is a stick that stirs up trouble. The Jiang family will definitely be very lively in the future."

"I heard that Jiang Ruo's mother hates her. I have to go and tell people so that they can be more careful and not be tricked by Du Wanqiu in the future."

"No one likes such a daughter-in-law."

What happened in the morning was exaggerated and reached Jiang's mother's ears.

Word got around that Du Wanqiu had insulted and cursed Xiao Qingru in public, and many people had seen it.

What you see with your own eyes cannot be faked!

Jiang's mother doesn't like Du Wanqiu, and it can even be said that she hates her to the extreme.

Ke'er has already filed a marriage report and the wedding date has been set. What can she do?

It wasn't her who spent the night with Du Wanqiu, and it wasn't her who got the marriage certificate.

Children grow up, and they can no longer make decisions on many things.

However, Jiang's mother kept an eye on this matter and told Jiang Xiao about it when he got home from get off work.

"Didn't you say that Du Wanqiu is a soft-tempered person who is easily bullied? Then how dare she cause trouble for Qingru?"

Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment. "Just listen to this kind of thing, don't take it seriously."

"There's no smoke without fire. I think this Du Wanqiu is quite formidable."

"Mom, she's not like that."

Seeing that her son was still defending Du Wanqiu, an outsider, Jiang's mother said unhappily, "Is she not powerful enough to make you agree to marry her?"

Jiang Xiao was a little dazed, then shook his head to drive those inappropriate thoughts out of his mind.

Du Wanqiu was also a victim of rumors.

He chose to get married because he was responsible for his actions and couldn't let her die in rumors.

What does this have to do with whether Du Wanqiu is powerful or not?

The ones who deserve the most criticism are those who have nothing to do but spread idle gossip.

If they hadn't been so careless, how could things have turned out like this?

Therefore, it is not Du Wanqiu’s responsibility alone.

Jiang Ruo's thoughts kept diverging. The marriage was not to be blamed on Du Wanqiu, but what about today's incident?

She must have met Qingru, which is why such rumors spread.

Was it really Du Wanqiu who took the initiative to cause trouble?

Jiang Ruo didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't control his doubts.

What should he do if Du Wanqiu really bullied Qingru?

After thinking it over, Jiang Ruo realized that he was at a disadvantage on both sides and couldn't afford to offend either side.

There was nothing he could do except keep the peace.

"Son, if you want to regret it, you can still do it. There are always more solutions than difficulties. You don't have to marry Du Wanqiu."

"Mom, are you kidding me for going back on my word?"

"Rather than sacrificing your lifelong happiness, why not go back on your word?"

“This time, I won’t regret it.”

He had already let Qingru down, and if he broke off the engagement again, he would be even uglier in Qingru's eyes.

Jiang Xiao thought to himself that his happiness was not important, as long as he stopped hurting others.

"You are hopeless. Don't let us know if you regret it later."

They have said everything they need to say and have advised their son enough, but he still won't listen. What can they do?

Jiang's mother was completely desperate and decided not to live together in the future. Du Wanqiu couldn't bear it!
