"Qingqing." Mrs. Liu ran up to the two of them and called out to Wang Qingqing tentatively. She hoped Qingqing hadn't asked Su Jinyue yet.
Wang Qingqing snorted with an ugly expression, "Didn't you say Su Jinyue was busy? Haven't you told her yet? How come she already knew?" She was really angry now. If her cousin told her that Su Jinyue had refused, she would never come to find Su Jinyue, so as not to embarrass herself.
"I..." Mrs. Liu wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.
Wang Qingqing snorted and trudged off to Mrs. Liu's house. She was going home to tell her parents to never give anything to her cousin again. They'd been so kind to her, and how had she ever repaid them? Last time, she'd cheated her brother, and now she'd lied to her again. She clearly had no ability, yet she still boasted, promising to help her.
"Qingqing!" Mrs. Liu glared at Su Jinyue and quickly caught up with Wang Qingqing. How was this going to end?
Su Jinyue retracted her gaze and turned to walk into the yard. She would not cover up for Mrs. Liu. She had already clearly rejected her, and it was she who did not tell Wang Qingqing.
Mrs. Liu caught up with Wang Qingqing and grabbed her sleeve, "Qingqing, don't be angry, listen to me." What if her aunt no longer gives her things because of this incident?
"What's there to say?" Wang Qingqing shook off Mrs. Liu's hand, walked to her bicycle, got on it and left.
"Qingqing, Qingqing." Mrs. Liu chased after her while shouting. She was so tired that she stopped panting.
After resting for a while, Mrs. Liu turned around and walked towards Su Jinyue's house. She wanted to find Su Jinyue to settle the score. If it weren't for her, how could she and her cousin have such a quarrel.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Mrs. Liu walked over to the Zhan family's house and banged loudly on the door. "Su Jinyue, come out here, you troublemaker! You've caused a quarrel between me and my cousin. Are you happy now? Get out here if you dare! I'm going to settle things with you today."
The door opened with a creak. Su Jinyue and Wang Meizhen stood at the door with sullen faces, looking at Mrs. Liu who was shouting outside.
"Mrs. Liu, what are you doing? Isn't it ugly?" Wang Meizhen looked at Mrs. Liu angrily.
"What? Ask your good daughter-in-law what she did." Mrs. Liu pointed at Su Jinyue with a cold face.
"Jin Yue has already explained it to you very clearly. It was you who didn't explain it clearly to your cousin. Is this still Jin Yue's fault?" Wang Meizhen questioned. She knew the most about this matter.
"If she hadn't been so ruthless, would things have turned out like this?" Mrs. Liu saw that the villagers had come to watch the fun and looked at them with grievance. "Everyone, please judge for yourself. I just wanted my cousin to work in her store. It's fine if she didn't agree, but she also gossiped about me in front of my cousin. Now my cousin has ignored me."
"I don't believe Dr. Su is such a person."
"We know very well what kind of person Dr. Su is. If you say anything bad about Dr. Su again, we will be angry with you."
"Why did Dr. Su agree to let your cousin work in her store? Your cousin is not her cousin."
"That's right, who do you think you are? Do you think Dr. Su has to agree to you just because you asked? You are so shameless!" The villagers said one after another.
Su Jinyue curled her lips slightly. She hadn't expected the villagers to help her like this.
Hearing the villagers' accusations, Mrs. Liu was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. "Even if you flatter her again, she won't take you seriously. She is rich now and looks down on us poor people."
"Others may believe what you say, but we don't believe Dr. Su." A villager immediately retorted.
"If you continue to slander Dr. Su, I'll beat you up, believe it or not," Aunt Wang said to Mrs. Liu. If it weren't for Dr. Su, her daughter, Sanni, would have had a difficult birth, and she wouldn't have had a lovely grandson to hold.
"Count me in too," Aunt Wu said. She had been bitten by a snake, and if Dr. Su hadn't saved her, she wouldn't be alive now.
"And me." More and more people came out.
Seeing so many people helping Su Jinyue, Mrs. Liu immediately lost heart. "I can't argue with you guys, okay?" She knew that if she continued to bother Su Jinyue, she would arouse public anger. She couldn't handle so many people alone.
After glaring at Su Jinyue fiercely, Mrs. Liu turned and walked towards her home. However, she couldn't swallow the anger in her heart.
Su Jinyue looked at everyone with a smile, "Thank you all for standing up for me." Although she could handle it herself, the feeling of being supported by everyone was really good.
"Doctor Su, you're welcome. You and Doctor Xu have helped us so much. How could we possibly see you being bullied?"
"That's right, you should just ignore people like Mrs. Liu."
"She just has red eyes," they all said. They'd been with Mrs. Liu for so many years, how could they not know who she was?
Watching everyone disperse, Wang Meizhen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Jinyue, everyone has remembered your kindness over the years. Look, when something happens, everyone stands by you." She didn't expect that so many people would stand up for Jinyue.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "I was a little surprised too."
"Mrs. Liu must be so angry today." Thinking of Mrs. Liu leaving in disgrace, Wang Meizhen couldn't help laughing.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "Mom, don't you blame me for finding an enemy for you?" When she rejected Mrs. Liu before, she had already thought about the consequences. Mrs. Liu would become enemies with the Zhan family because of her, but she still decided to do so.
If she agreed to let Mrs. Liu's cousin work in her store just to save face, then next time someone else would definitely ask her for the same favor, and she couldn't agree to it again and again. So she had to refuse this time.
"Why should I blame you? It's supposed to be this way. We don't owe her anything, so why should we agree to whatever she says?" Wang Meizhen said. She felt that Jin Yue did nothing wrong.
Su Jinyue raised her lips and smiled, "Mom, let's go inside." She was really happy that her mother-in-law was so sensible.
Deep in a gloomy and dense forest, Zhan Yihan and his soldiers were searching. Their mission this time was to find the villagers who had disappeared into the dense forest.
This dense forest was originally just an ordinary forest, with many wild vegetables and fruits growing in it. Villagers from several nearby villages would come here to pick wild vegetables and fruits.
Last month, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the forest, causing the temperature to drop sharply. Villagers who entered the forest would disappear. So far, more than 30 villagers have disappeared in this dense forest.
