“Yes, Aunt Zhang, you…” Zhang Juanjuan felt she had wronged someone and looked at Shen Qiaoyue, saying, “Lu Tuan’s wife, I’m sorry, we misunderstood you.”
Zhang Juanjuan hates being lied to the most.
Shen Qiaoyue has a bit of a spoiled young lady's temper; she's been here a few times before.
But it shouldn't be that bad.
Zhang Cuihua knew she was in the wrong, but she was still furious that her daughter's arrest was related to Shen Qiaoyue.
Pointing at Shen Qiaoyue, he asked, "Was it you who reported Ya Ya?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Shen Qiaoyue looked at Zhang Cuihua's face. She really was Lin Yaya's mother. "Aunt Zhang, you're not trying to turn the tables and not pay back the money, are you?"
Zhang Cuihua was exposed once again.
Zhang Juanjuan couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain, "Aunt Zhang, you always use the best of everything, and you give your son the best clothes and shoes too. Did you have Ya Ya borrow money from Commander Lu's wife?"
"I also heard that Aunt Zhang favors boys over girls, and Ya Ya hands over all her salary every month. That's why she borrowed money and stole clothes to resell. Was she forced to do that by you, Aunt Zhang?" Bai Le also remembered that Lin Ya Ya used to be so close to Shen Qiao Yue. "Every time Ya Ya went shopping, she would buy a lot of things. It turns out she borrowed money from others, and she borrowed so much."
"I didn't lend it," Zhang Cuihua tried to explain further.
There was a thousand yuan in Lin Yaya's room. Shen Qiaoyue knew where she hid the money, but she couldn't tell her.
"Mom, my sister has a box with over a thousand on it."
"Slap!" Zhang Cuihua slapped Lin Lanlan across the face. "Shut up."
"Aunt Zhang, you even hit your own daughter."
Lin Lanlan was slapped and didn't dare to say a word, not even let out a cry.
Everyone was shocked by Zhang Cuihua's actions—beating her own daughter in public.
"Aunt Zhang, it wasn't you who forced Ya Ya to do those things, was it? Every time Ya Ya came to me, she said she would be beaten if she couldn't borrow money to go home. You... you actually beat Lan Lan in front of so many people. You must have beaten Ya Ya a lot before, right?"
Anyone can act; after all, I've lived two lives.
Shen Qiaoyue pretended to be scared and took a few steps back.
"I didn't, you're talking nonsense." Zhang Cuihua also became anxious. She had only taken Lin Yaya's money and had never hit Lin Yaya.
“Aunt Zhang, you absolutely cannot hit the child. You should return the money to them,” Bai Le said from the side.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lin Lanlan with heartache, her face already flushed.
“It was Lin Yaya who borrowed the money, not me. I don’t have the money to pay it back.” Zhang Cuihua never intended to pay it back in the first place. “If you want to pay back the money, go find Lin Yaya.”
He pulled Lin Lanlan away.
"Lanlan just said that Yaya has saved a thousand yuan. If you don't give it to her, I'll report it to the boss." Shen Qiaoyue pretended to be angry and said, "Five hundred yuan, that's a person's annual salary. I don't work and I still have to rely on Lu Chen to support me. How am I supposed to live!"
"That's right, we should return the money to Commander Lu's wife. You can't just take advantage of her being easy to talk to and then slander her."
Everyone chimed in with their own comments.
"Aunt Zhang, this concerns Commander Lin's job. It's best not to escalate this to the higher-ups," a close friend of Zhang Cuihua whispered a reminder.
Zhang Cuihua thought, "It's good that Lin Yaya went in."
Releasing Lin Lanlan, he said to Shen Qiaoyue, "You wait here."
He ran home to get the money.
Everyone was watching.
Zhang Juanjuan stepped forward with a guilty conscience, too ashamed to meet Shen Qiaoyue's gaze.
"I'm sorry, Commander Lu's wife. I shouldn't have listened to Aunt Zhang. I apologize to you," Zhang Juanjuan said.
When Shen Qiaoyue saw Zhang Juanjuan, she noticed that she was a bit overweight, probably because she had given birth, and her cheeks were red from the cold.
She was an honest person who believed everything she heard, which Shen Qiaoyue thought was normal.
"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart," Shen Qiaoyue said, shaking her head. Then she looked down at Lin Lanlan, her eyes filled with concern, and asked, "Lanlan, does it hurt?"
Lin Lanlan covered her slapped face and shook her head, saying, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't hurt."
She said it didn't hurt, but her eyes were red from crying, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
“It’s definitely Aunt Zhang’s fault for hitting the child. I think we should talk to the commander’s wife and let her talk to Aunt Zhang. After all, she’s her own daughter!”
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lin Lanlan and felt a sense of powerlessness.
Lin Lanlan helped her, but Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help her get out of this predicament.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lin Lanlan.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Lin Lanlan shook her head and continued to comfort Shen Qiaoyue.
Soon, Zhang Cuihua brought the money over and made a gesture as if she was about to throw it away. Shen Qiaoyue glanced at her.
Zhang Cuihua's gesture of dropping money instantly changed to handing it to Shen Qiaoyue.
He took the money and then said to Zhang Cuihua, "Aunt Zhang, Lanlan is your daughter. I hope you will treat her well."
“This is a family matter, it’s none of your business,” Zhang Cuihua said, pulling Lin Lanlan away.
Lin Lanlan was dragged home by the arm, and Shen Qiaoyue felt that this was not a solution.
She needed to find a way to help Lin Lanlan, after all, she was someone who had helped her a lot.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Shen Qiaoyue lowered her head and counted the money. The real Lin Yaya had long been killed by Zhang Cuihua; this one was a time traveler from the future.
She didn't know why there was such a thing as time travel; she was just curious whether the real Lin Yaya was really dead or had traveled to another place.
After taking the money back, three people soon parked their cars in front of Shen Qiaoyue's house.
