Wu Shujuan was so angry when she heard this.
Although she met the shrew before she entered the Zong family yesterday, she saw Lin Wei at that time. How could Lin Wei not see her? It's obvious that you're asking this question even though you already know the answer!
The whole family is of the same kind!
Wu Shujuan was angry in her heart, but her expression gradually calmed down: "I am the wife of Zong Shao's father. You should call me grandma."
"My mother-in-law passed away a long time ago." Lin Wei said calmly, "I have something urgent to go back, please make way."
After saying this, Lin Wei walked past Wu Shujuan without waiting for her to retreat.
Seeing that Lin Wei was so unwilling to give her face, Wu Shujuan took a deep breath and said loudly to Lin Wei: "Don't you want to know why Zong Shao married you?"
These words were very confusing and clearly had ill intentions, but Lin Wei stopped in her tracks, but did not turn around or speak.
But in Wu Shujuan's opinion, Lin Wei's stopping meant that she had doubts about Zong Shao. She raised her lips and walked over to him and said, "I know that you and Zong Shao were engaged as children arranged by your mothers, but no one took this marriage seriously in the past, right? Aren't you curious about why Zong Shao's mother brought up this marriage again, and why he was willing to marry you alone?"
If Lin Wei just felt that Wu Shujuan had bad intentions before, now, this suspicion has turned into certainty.
But why Wu Shujuan wanted to sow discord between her and Zong Shao.
Regardless of whether Wu Shujuan and Zong Ping got back together before or after his divorce, it was true that Chen Xinglan had cared for her over the years, and it was also true that the past that she and Zong Ping had concealed for so many years was the fuse for the breakdown of Chen Xinglan's relationship with her husband.
Even if most people have no sense of shame, they should at least know not to disturb the lives of their original spouse and children, right?
Why didn't Zong Shao cause trouble for her, but she targeted them first?
Lin Wei was confused, so she followed Wu Shujuan's words and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Wu Shujuan didn't answer, but just said, "Let's go to another place to talk?"
"Then let's go talk at school."
The last class in the afternoon was physical education for many classes. Listening to the laughter and screams coming from the campus, Wu Shujuan frowned and said, "There are too many people inside."
"Where do you want to go if you don't want to chat at school? My house?" Lin Wei asked, and before Wu Shujuan could speak, she said, "My mom might kick you out."
Thinking of Lin Wei's shrewish mother, Wu Shujuan frowned and said, "Then let's find a place where there is no one."
"Then I may not be able to go with you." Lin Wei said unceremoniously, "Otherwise, if you suddenly pretend to fall down and try to extort money from me while we're chatting, I won't be able to explain myself."
Wu Shujuan laughed angrily: "Who do you think you are? Do I need to fall down and try to scam you?"
"If you hadn't come to see me, your words might be a little more credible." Lin Wei glanced at her watch and urged, "If you don't want to talk, forget it. I'm going back."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Her resolute attitude made Wu Shujuan so angry that her face turned blue. However, she could only compromise and said, "Then let's talk inside your school!"
Lin Wei stopped and turned to walk towards the school gate.
After entering the gate, Lin Wei walked along the wall, turned at the corner, and walked another ten meters. She stopped and said, "You can talk now," after making sure that no one passing by could hear their conversation.
The school wall was not high, probably only up to their shoulders, so if they raised their heads slightly, they could see the lush trees growing outside. There is a small forest outside. Because there is a lot of grass and bushes underneath, no one would go into the forest. Wu Shujuan saw it when she came here and knew that this was indeed a good place to have a conversation.
There were just too many children playing not far away and they were too noisy. Plus, it was Lin Wei's idea to come here, so Wu Shujuan felt this place was terrible and didn't say anything for a long time.
Lin Wei glanced at her watch again and reminded him, "Comrade Wu, my time is precious."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she said this, Wu Shujuan couldn't control her emotions and couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think you're amazing for hooking up with Zong Shao?"
Lin Wei retorted, "You are more powerful for interfering in other people's families."
Although there were frequent contacts between the two families in the past, after Wu Shujuan and Zong Ping got married, some people had been whispering behind their backs that they had been hooking up for a long time, but outsiders had no evidence, and no matter how suspicious they were, they only dared to whisper behind their backs, and not many dared to speak to Wu Shujuan, so she jumped up and asked angrily, "What do you know about our relationship?"
"I don't know what happened between you two, but I know that before the divorce, my mother-in-law not only did not do anything wrong to you, but also often helped you. But you were secretly having an affair with her husband. My mother-in-law and you are like the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf!" Lin Wei said, looking at Wu Shujuan with contempt.
Wu Shujuan was so angry that her face turned pale and blue. She suppressed her voice and said, "Do you think your mother-in-law is a good person? Before Zong Ping returned to his hometown, he promised me that he would marry me when he came back. In the end, I waited and waited, but what I got was the news that he married Chen Xinglan! If Chen Xinglan hadn't asked for repayment for the favor, and Zong Ping was forced to marry her, how could we have missed each other for so many years? How could I marry someone else in a fit of anger?"
Wu Shujuan became more and more excited as she spoke: "You said that she and I were the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, but I was obviously the farmer, and I should have been Mr. Dongguo too. She stole my husband and my life!"
If she had been able to marry Zong Ping smoothly, she would not have married her ex-husband, nor would she have experienced the pain of her husband's early death and being bullied by his family.
If she had been able to marry Zong Ping, she would have been able to live a carefree life like Chen Xinglan and give birth to a healthy child like Zong Shao.
If she had been able to marry Zong Ping at the beginning, she would have been able to rise step by step with Zong Ping and become a person that everyone envied. Why would she need help from others?
When she first learned about Zong Shao's parents' past, Lin Wei felt that Zong Ping had a bad eye and could not see the good in her mother-in-law. Now that she had talked with Wu Shujuan, she realized that Zong Ping not only had poor eyesight, but was also blind and heartless. He had even caused his wife and children to be separated because of such a woman.
No, maybe Zong Ping is not blind, but he and Wu Shujuan have similar interests. In the eyes of mud, the best is naturally mud. How can he see the lotus that is untainted by the mud?
"You said my mother-in-law forced Zong Ping to marry her out of revenge, but think about it, has Zong Ping ever fought for your future?" Before Wu Shujuan could answer, Lin Wei said, "He didn't! He didn't even dare to tell my mother-in-law about your existence!"
Wu Shujuan argued for Zong Ping, "The Chen family has done Zong Ping a favor, and Chen Xinglan relied on the favor of her father to force him to marry her. What's the point of him telling her?"
"Why didn't it work? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Lin Wei asked back, "My mother-in-law has been married to him for more than ten years. Zong Shao is already so old. When she knew about your past, she was cruel enough to divorce him. Why do you think that when Zong Ping honestly confessed that he had an affair with you, she would use the favor to force her to marry him?"
Of course, Wu Shujuan did not see with her own eyes what did not happen, but what Lin Wei said later was true.
Seeing that Wu Shujuan was at a loss for words, Lin Wei continued to ask, "Also, when Zong Ping returned to his hometown, what was his rank? What was the situation of the Chen family? My mother-in-law is an orphan, and Zong Ping refused to marry her. Could my mother-in-law force him to marry her?"
Wu Shujuan's face gradually turned pale. In fact, it was not difficult to guess what Lin Wei said. She had just been deceiving herself over the years, so she couldn't see through it.
"He gave up on you and married my mother-in-law because he couldn't let go of his reputation, and you're not that important to him." Lin Wei ruthlessly exposed the truth about the love between Wu Shujuan and Zong Ping. "From the beginning to the end, my mother-in-law was just a poor person who was deceived by you two scumbags, but you still have the nerve to say that she stole your life! How ridiculous!"
Wu Shujuan was hurt by Lin Wei's words and said angrily, "Do you think Zong Shao married you because he loves you? I tell you, no! He married you as a second choice!"
If Lin Wei had just reunited with Zong Shao, or if she had not had those dreams, she might have believed what Wu Shujuan said. But now, she just said "Oh?" faintly.
Seeing that Lin Wei was unmoved, Wu Shujuan gritted her teeth in hatred, but her face regained its calm expression: "Since you have heard so many things from Chen Xinglan, you should know that I have a daughter."
Lin Wei was slightly startled when she heard this. It wasn't that she thought Wu Shujuan had a daughter, but she didn't expect that she thought all these things were told to her by Chen Xinglan.
But then she thought again, although these things were said by her mother, her mother also heard them from her mother-in-law, so Wu Shujuan was right to think so, so she said nothing.
Seeing Lin Wei stunned, Wu Shujuan raised the corners of her lips and said, "When I first arrived in the capital, I had no place to stay, so I lived in the Zong family for a while. My daughter and Zong Shao also met at that time. Because she is two years younger than Zong Shao, she has always called Zong Shao brother."
When non-blood siblings call each other brother and sister, it inevitably sounds a bit ambiguous.
If Lin Wei didn't know about the past, hadn't seen Zong Shao who traveled thousands of miles to Shicheng as a teenager but lingered outside his mother's ward, or if she didn't trust Zong Shao enough as a character, she would have been jealous right now.
But now when she hears Wu Shujuan talk about these things, she just feels heartbroken.
I feel sorry for Chen Xinglan and also for Zong Shao.
Wu Shujuan's words indirectly confirmed the truth of Chen Xinglan's words. Zong Ping said that Wu Shujuan was the wife of his comrade-in-arms, and he brought her to the capital because she was unable to survive in her hometown. Chen Xinglan believed it, so she treated Wu Shujuan wholeheartedly during those years.
Zong Shao is now indifferent and extremely disgusted with Wu Shujuan, but what about those years? Perhaps he also respected Wu Shujuan and took care of Wu Shujuan's daughter.
But all that kindness and care only resulted in betrayal in the end.
Seeing Lin Wei pursed her lips, Wu Shujuan continued, "My daughter is not in good health, so Zong Shao has always taken good care of her. Boys are mostly naughty and can't sit still at home, but during that time, in order to take care of my daughter, he rarely went out to play with his friends. Later we moved out, but I was busy with work and didn't have much time to take care of my daughter, so I often sent her to Zong's house. At that time, it was Zong Shao who took care of Qianqian."
At this point, Wu Shujuan said, "Qianqian is my daughter. At that time, they had a very good relationship. Qianqian encountered difficulties in school, and I would not tell her easily, but she would tell Zong Shao, and Zong Shao would always help her. At that time, I thought they would always be on good terms, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect it?" Lin Wei interrupted Wu Shujuan, "Shouldn't this be within your expectations?"
Wu Shujuan frowned: "What?"
"When you were thinking about someone else's husband, didn't you think about the consequences? Why do you think that after you destroyed someone else's family, they would still treat you the same way as before?" Lin Wei said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot, a selfish and self-centered person like you, how could you possibly think of these things? Maybe in your heart, the whole world revolves around you."
Wu Shujuan's eyebrows showed anger, but soon she smiled: "Do you know what your current appearance reminds me of? You are angry and humiliated, are you jealous?"
Lin Wei remained calm: "What am I jealous of? Is it because your daughter has a despicable mother? Or is it because she can't love my husband?"
Wu Shujuan could no longer hold back her emotions and shouted angrily, "If Chen Xinglan hadn't stopped them from being together, do you think you could have married Zong Shao?"
Although she knew that Wu Shujuan's words could not be trusted, Lin Wei was still stunned for a moment when she heard this.
Wu Shujuan seemed to be lost in her memories. She didn't care about Lin Wei's shock and said with hatred: "Chen Xinglan hated me for destroying her family, so she wanted to retaliate against me. She knew that Zong Ping and I both wanted our two children to be together, so she forced Zong Shao to marry you!"
In a flash, Lin Wei thought of something and asked, "Is your daughter not doing well?"
Although Wu Shujuan described the relationship between her daughter and Zong Shao as very ambiguous, her last sentence gave away the secret. If Zong Shao and her daughter had an emotional entanglement, then what Wu Shujuan should have said was that Chen Xinglan didn't know that the two children liked each other, rather than knowing that she and Zong Ping wanted them to be together.
In addition, Zong Shao had been thinking about her for a long time, so she was sure that there was no double arrow relationship between Zong Shao and Wu Shujuan's daughter. The most likely possibility was that Wu Shujuan's daughter liked him.
The saying that what you can't get is the best is usually directed at the person involved. If Wu Shujuan's daughter is living a good life but is still obsessed with Zong Shao, then she should be the one who is trying to sow discord.
As parents, there is usually only one reason why you would still be holding a grudge against someone your daughter had a crush on in the past: your daughter is not doing well or has even passed away.
Since parents are not the parties involved, when they judge whether their children are living a good life, they usually look at their material conditions. But given Zong Ping's status, even if Wu Shujuan's daughter is only a stepdaughter, it should not be difficult for her to marry a young man with good conditions. If Wu Shujuan's daughter marries well, and with Zong Ping's support, it would be difficult for her to live a bad life.
But if her daughter was living a good life, why would Wu Shujuan bother to sow discord between her stepson and his wife? This doesn't do her any good.
Thinking of what Wu Shujuan had said before about her daughter being in poor health, Lin Wei suspected that her daughter was very likely bedridden. But then the question arises again. If her daughter was bedridden, would her mother travel thousands of miles to accompany her husband to the home of her stepson who did not welcome her, to attend the full moon banquet of her granddaughter who was not related to her by blood?
Lin Wei thinks not, so the answer is obvious.
Although Lin Wei hated Wu Shujuan, she couldn't ask questions like "Is your daughter dead?" Otherwise, she would hurt Wu Shujuan's feelings and start a fight with her. She was not sure if she could win.
Even though she embellished the question she wanted to ask, Wu Shujuan's face still turned grim after hearing it: "What do you mean?"
Seeing her expression, Lin Wei knew that she had guessed right.
But she did not sympathize with Wu Shujuan. Instead, she hated the woman in front of her.
Obviously it was Zong Ping who was wrong in the beginning, but she only knew how to make excuses for the man and transfer the hatred to Chen Xinglan. She relied on concealment and deception to gain Chen Xinglan's kindness and care, and then she stepped on her and said that Chen Xinglan had let her down!
Also, what does her daughter’s death have to do with Zong Shao? But she was just like that. Just because her daughter had liked Zong Shao, she saw that Zong Shao was living a good life, so she rushed over to sow discord between them.
So hateful!
Thinking of this, Lin Wei said: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that people who live a good life, no matter how shameless they are, will not always stare at other people's husbands!"
Wu Shujuan was completely enraged and shouted, "Do you think you won by marrying Zong Shao? Let me tell you, if Chen Xinglan hadn't lost to me, she wouldn't have thought of your childhood marriage at all! If Zong Shao hadn't wanted to prove to his father that an arranged marriage could work, he wouldn't have married you at all!"
Wu Shujuan looked at Lin Wei and said with a tone full of pity: "The marriage you are so proud of is just a tool for them and Zong Ping to get angry with each other, nothing more."
