Aunt Xie, with a gloomy face, pulled Lu Xingxing out.
"Xingxing, go get a scrub first. I'll find you a good masseur to give you a good scrub and wash away the bad luck." Aunt Xie glared at Su Wenxia. Now was not the time to cause trouble; bringing the brat down was the least bad thing to do.
But now that she knows this woman's ulterior motives, she can't ruin her son's future. If her son's future is ruined, this woman can still remarry the officer. If she's going to ruin it, she'll ruin it for both of them.
Su Wenxia's face fell.
Is this old woman cursing them for bad luck?
Seeing that the old lady was determined to take advantage of Su Wenxia, and also worried that the old lady would be taken advantage of, Lu Xingxing pulled her sister-in-law to a nearby scrubbing area and said to the old lady scrubbing her, "Auntie, I've been on the train for a day and a night, and I'm covered in mud. Could you please scrub me clean?"
The old lady also came from the countryside and came to work to supplement her family's income.
"Alright, give it to Auntie."
Lu Xingxing kept her eyes on Aunt Xie, ready to rush to her aid at a moment's notice if Aunt Xie needed her.
Aunt Xie gave the women a cold look, her gaze fixed on Su Wenxia. "Are you Xie Yiran's wife?"
Looking at the face that bore a striking resemblance to Xie Yiran, Su Wenxia's tone softened, no longer as sharp as before, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Aunt Xie said, "I'm asking you, is that right?"
Su Wenxia bit her lip.
The woman next to her couldn't hold back any longer, "Who doesn't know that Staff Officer Xie is about to marry Teacher Su? Who are you?"
Aunt Xie stared intently at Su Wenxia. "Young lady, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just ask you, do you admit that you are Xie Yiran's wife?"
"You old hag..."
"If you keep nagging me, I'll slap you across the face," Aunt Xie said viciously.
The woman shut her mouth.
She stared intently at Su Wenxia, who was forced into a corner. "Auntie, you should ask Xie Yiran about this. As for the marriage, it depends on both parties' consent, and the chief will act as matchmaker."
Her words were a message to Aunt Xie: if you keep pushing her, you'll be putting your son to death.
Aunt Xie just smiled and said, "I'd like to ask which leader acted as matchmaker, making him abandon his first wife and marry a new one. I'm not dead yet, so why should the new bride meet her in-laws first, instead of some damn leader?"
Su Wenxia's face was very unpleasant.
What is that old hag saying?
Aunt Xie said, "Since you don't acknowledge her as his new daughter-in-law, then don't use Xie Yiran's name anymore, or I'll go to the military region to complain. My daughter-in-law's name is Qiu Yulan, not Su Wenxia."
She spoke each word clearly.
Qiu Yulan had just finished showering when she heard her mother-in-law call her name.
They quickly ran over.
"Mother, call me."
Aunt Xie's expression softened considerably. "See that? That's my daughter-in-law."
Qiu Yulan was wearing a long-sleeved pajama that she had bought outside the door. It was too big on her. She was thin and had a youthful face, so she looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
Su Wenxia never expected that Xie Yiran's mother would actually come to her door with his first wife. Didn't he say that he had resolved everything and that she could rest assured? What do you mean, Xie Yiran is such a good-for-nothing.
But now is not a good time to speak.
If she distances herself now, she can still find a good man later.
It would be a loss to be truly nailed to the pillar of shame.
“Aunt Xie, you should go back and talk to your son about what happened. I knew nothing about it.”
