Wei Shuqing smiled and said, "Old Madam Qi, does the Qi family's reasoning become meaningless once it steps outside the Qi family gate? Remember this well, anything that can't be discussed in public is a conspiracy, a trick to harm people. You're so old, shouldn't you at least accumulate some virtue for yourself and your descendants? Otherwise, you'll have a hard time in the future." Wei Shuqing's words, which seemed like a curse, did indeed carry a hint of advice.
Wei Shuqing walked down the street, exhausted. The person she was in the book was clearly not the same as the person in the book, but the way the Qi family behaved was still astonishing.
To call having an affair so noble is truly rotten to the core.
Lying in bed after returning home, she found the house impeccably tidy thanks to Zhao Dahu, rarely needing her to lift a finger. With a considerate husband and loving in-laws, she felt like she'd fallen into a paradise, or perhaps it was all a dream.
I was half asleep when I was woken up by a knock on the door. "Shuqing, Shuqing, open the door!"
Wei Shuqing rubbed her eyes, opened the door, and said, "Why are you back?"
Zhao Dahu pulled the lunchbox out of his pocket, his face flushed with anxiety. "I didn't see you go to the cafeteria for lunch. I asked Sister Li and found out. They really think the Qi family thinks we're easy to bully! This is never going to end!"
Wei Shuqing smiled and comforted Zhao Dahu, "It's alright, look how anxious you are. I've made everything clear today. The neighborhood committee has asked them to calm down."
Zhao Dahu opened the lunchbox, revealing four large, squashed meat buns and some mustard greens mixed with chili oil. He urged Wei Shuqing to eat quickly and poured her a cup of hot water.
Wei Shu washed her hands and said, "You brought me food all this way?"
Zhao Dahu sat to one side and glanced at Wei Shuqing. "Eat quickly."
Wei Shuqing also felt hungry. She quickly finished the steamed buns and pickled vegetables, drank a glass of water, wiped her mouth, and whispered, "Dahu, I'm sorry. It's my fault that you're being gossiped about!"
Zhao Dahu held her in his arms and gently persuaded her, "What are you saying? We're husband and wife, and besides, what they did was disgusting! If they're not afraid of losing face, why should we be? You stay home and rest, I'm going to work."
Wei Shuqing shook her head, put on her clothes, quickly tidied herself up, and said, "Let's go together."
The two went back to work, and Wei Shuqing told her supervisor about it. The supervisor expressed sympathy and told them to go back to their work and get back to their jobs.
During this time, Wei Shuqing worked at the Women's Federation and also wrote some things, so in a fit of anger, she wrote a letter that was more than ten pages long and sent it to Qi Zhijun's workplace.
The price Qi Zhijun paid was an additional month of suspension for self-reflection.
