Zhou Yun was startled. "Master, what happened to my daughter?"
“Signs of drowning! Go to the pond near your house quickly!” Lin Xi added, “I’ll watch your stall for you.”
"Thank you, Master."
Zhou Yun believed her completely and hurriedly ran home wearing an apron.
Lin Xi was sitting next to me eating pig's ears when Aunt Zhang came over and exclaimed, "Oh, Master, you've switched to selling braised dishes!"
Lin Xi's cheeks were bulging. "The boss has gone home. Weigh what you need and pay for it yourself."
Aunt Zhang skillfully weighed and seasoned the dishes. "Master, I'll help you sell them. I often buy braised dishes from Zhou Yun. He can season all the flavors."
"Speaking of which, Zhou Yun is really a pitiful person. She is down-to-earth and capable, but her husband and mother-in-law, tsk tsk tsk... are no good..."
After finishing the pig's ear, Lin Xi picked up a pig's trotter and started gnawing on it.
She finally understood the joy that the elderly folks experienced while enjoying the gossip.
Aunt Zhang continued talking about Zhou Yun's family with great enthusiasm.
“Master, you don’t know this, Zhou Yun’s husband is a gambling addict. He sleeps on the cards every day and doesn’t care about anything. Zhou Yun has to do all the work, both inside and outside the house.”
"That old woman, she's obviously not a good person. That face... tsk tsk tsk... I don't even want to talk about her. She's a woman herself, yet she makes things difficult for other women. She doesn't like her granddaughter..."
At this moment, Zhou Yun headed straight for the pond east of his house.
The pond here has been in disrepair for many years, and few people come here.
As soon as the master mentioned it, she knew what place it was.
Zhou Yun often tells her daughter to stay away from places with water.
My daughter is always well-behaved and obedient, how could she come to a place like a pond?
On the way, Zhou Yun took out his phone and called Sun Li, "Hey, where's Lingling? Tell her to answer the phone."
Sun Li roared impatiently, "How the hell would I know where that little girl ran off to? Don't interfere with my making money!"
Zhou Yun, thinking of her husband's character, became even more anxious. "Sun Li, stop playing cards and go find Lingling by the pond on the east side."
"What are you looking for? That girl is too wild for me to control."
Sun Li cursed, "Damn it! I lost again! Zhou Yun, it's all your fault for ruining my luck. I'll teach you a lesson today..."
Zhou Yun hung up the phone immediately.
Enraged, Sun Li threw down his cards and stormed out, yelling, "Damn it! You think you're all that now? You dare hang up on me!"
On the other side, Zhou Yun bumped into her mother-in-law, Jin Qiaolan.
Jin Qiaolan shouted, "Ouch! That blind, shameless hussy!"
When she saw Zhou Yun, her expression changed, and she started scolding again, "Zhou Yun, look at the time! Why aren't you at work? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yun didn't want to talk to her, but Jin Qiaolan held her hand tightly. "Zhou Yun, you've gone too far! You think you're all grown up now and dare to ignore me!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you here to cheat on someone? Let me see who the adulterer is."
Jin Qiaolan's words became increasingly outrageous, and Zhou Yun shouted loudly, "I'm here to find my daughter, where is Lingling?"
Jin Qiaolan rolled her eyes. "Of course Lingling is at home. A little child wouldn't come to a place like this."
Zhou Yun sensed something was wrong. "What are you doing here?"
Jin Qiaoyun snorted coldly, "What I do is none of your business. I'm warning you, get back to work right now, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Zhou Yun was extremely anxious and pushed her hard.
Jin Qiaolan immediately collapsed to the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "How unfilial! He actually hit his mother-in-law! How unfilial! Everyone, take a good look at Zhou Yun's true colors..."
Ignoring her mother-in-law's unreasonable behavior, Zhou Yun rushed towards the pond.
Jin Qiaolan was startled.
Today, Zhou Yun is acting like she's possessed. She's never been this assertive before, and she never dared to challenge me.
Oh no, this is bad!
Jin Qiaolan quickly got up and ran to the small pond.
Her shout was heard by everyone around, and they all rushed over.
"Jin Qiaolan has caught another demon. If you ask me, Zhou Yun should get rid of these two old scoundrels."
"Zhou Yun is soft-hearted, and her family favors boys over girls, so she's a pitiful person."
"Let's go, let's see what Jin Qiaolan is up to this time?"
At the pond's edge, Lingling struggled in the water, crying, "Mommy, Mommy, waah..."
"Lingling, don't be afraid, Mom is here." Zhou Yun jumped down without hesitation.
Jin Qiaolan cursed under her breath, "Why did they have to come so late? It's unbelievable."
A thought suddenly popped into her head: what if Zhou Yun and Lingling both died here...
However, a large group of people arrived later, so Jin Qiaolan had to give up on the idea and stood indifferently to the side.
When the neighbors realized something was wrong, they immediately shouted for help.
"Quick, quick, help!"
The group worked together to pull Zhou Yun and Lingling up.
The pond was full of moss and mud. Zhou Yun couldn't care less about herself and hurriedly checked on her daughter.
Lingling spat out a mouthful of water, hugged her, and cried, "Mommy, Mommy..."
Zhou Yun's heart ached. "Lingling, Mom told you to stay away from ponds and places with water."
Lingling cried, "Mommy, Grandma brought me here, and then she pushed me down..."
Jin Qiaolan cursed under her breath.
You brat, you're just here to collect a debt!
Jin Qiaolan, of course, would never admit it, and immediately cried out loudly, "This brat, at such a young age, she's already learned to slander others! Zhou Yun, look at the fine daughter you've raised, has she no shame at all..."
Zhou Yun's eyes were slightly red. She grabbed Jin Qiaolan's hair and slapped her across the face. "Jin Qiaolan, you've never liked Lingling, and this time you actually tried to kill her."
"I don't."
Jin Qiaolan shouted, "How could our Sun family have married such a shrew?! Everyone, see Zhou Yun's true colors, and don't be fooled by her!"
Clap clap clap!
Zhou Yun slapped her three more times, saying, "As long as I can protect Lingling, I don't care if I'm a shrew."
Jin Qiaolan couldn't beat her, so she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Murder! Murder!!"
Everyone kept their eyes down, pretending not to see.
Everyone knows Jin Qiaolan's reputation; she's greedy for small gains and spreads rumors. Almost everyone present has been harmed by her.
Seeing that no one was helping her, Jin Qiaolan grabbed Zhou Yun's hair desperately, cursing, "What use is a little girl to a hen that can't lay eggs! I'm going to get Sun Li to kick you all out!"
At this moment, Sun Li ran over, shouting, "Zhou Yun, what are you doing? Let go of my mother!"
Seeing that someone was backing her up, Jin Qiaolan became more assertive, "Sun Li, look at the kind of wife you married, she's riding on her mother-in-law's head and shitting on her."
Sun Li was furious and raised his hand to hit Zhou Yun.
A group of people dragged and pulled him back, and Sun Li could only roar in helpless rage, "Zhou Yun, I can't live like this anymore, I want a divorce!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce!!"
Zhou Yun released Jin Qiaolan, walked up to Sun Li, and slapped him twice hard across the face. "One slap is for Lingling, and the other is for myself."
"You, you, you shrew!"
Sun Liqi was dead, but he was pinned to the ground and couldn't do anything to Zhou Yun.
He yelled, "I'll deal with you later!!"
After venting his anger, Zhou Yun finally calmed down and borrowed a phone from someone nearby to call the police.
"I'm calling the police! Jin Qiaolan murdered my daughter, and Sun Li gambled and solicited prostitutes!"
