Chapter 45: New and old grudges are settled together (Part 8)
The whole compound was in an uproar.
No one would have thought that seventeen years ago, Ye Dongming was the one who took the blame for Zhao Jianshe's hit-and-run.
For a while, there was a chorus of curses directed at the Zhao family.
"No wonder Zhao Jianshe has been taking good care of Qiu Feng and her daughter all these years, regardless of his reputation. It turns out this is the reason. If it weren't for Ye Dongming, their family would be the one to be torn apart now."
"Who says he isn't? He is just atoning for his sins. But he is such a heartless person. Ye Dongming went to jail for him and lost his job, but how can he make up the compensation money by selling everything he has?"
"The most disgusting thing is Wang Guihua. She knew what was going on, but she pretended to be a good person and a victim!"
"Although Ye Dongming is a scoundrel, he is definitely good to the Zhao family!"
…
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? What scapegoat? What victim?"
Zhao Qingqing, who came out to throw away the garbage, originally wanted to hide from people, but she didn't expect that when she reached the door, she heard several women in the alley talking.
What they said shocked her and made her unable to accept it, so she rushed out in one quick step.
When the women saw her, they all curled their lips.
There is not a single good person in this family.
"Go back and ask your parents if we are talking nonsense!"
Zhao Qingqing's face looked extremely ugly. Her mother was still semi-conscious, and no matter how she asked, her father refused to say anything.
"How could you spread rumors about our family like this..."
"Your father admitted it himself! We have been blind all these years, and we have been deceived by your family. If people like you were in the village, you would have been kicked out countless times."
Zhao Qingqing's heart sank, her eyes shook violently, and the only thing left in her mind was, "Your father admitted it himself..."
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed and the compound finally calmed down a bit.
But some things have changed dramatically.
"Qiu Feng, you can keep this basket of eggs. They will help you replenish your body."
"Qiu Feng, although these clothes are all worn by me, they are still in good condition inside and out. I am too fat to wear them now, so you can keep them."
…
Zhang Qiufeng was flattered by the constant coming and going of the Ye family members.
In the past, she and her daughter were neglected in the compound, and no one would come to visit them for a month. But now, almost half of the people in the compound have come.
Send food and clothes.
Looking at those enthusiastic faces, Zhang Qiufeng felt for the first time the fickleness of human nature.
Although I was not used to it, I was still happy in my heart.
"Mom, this is good."
Ye Yao looked at Zhang Qiufeng now, and thought about how she almost cried her eyes out two days ago, and sighed.
Zhang Qiufeng nodded. How could it be bad?
"But Mom is still worried. How can I repay them after accepting so many things from them?"
Ye Yao chuckled, "Who wants you to pay it back? They feel guilty, so they use these things to make up for it and make themselves feel better."
"What are you feeling guilty about?"
Zhang Qiufeng looked surprised.
"Over the years, they have said so many bad things about you behind your back and targeted our family. You must feel guilty."
It’s such a simple truth, but the old lady just can’t see through it.
Zhang Qiufeng sighed, "I don't blame them. After all, no one knows about it. By the way, they were just asking about your wedding with the Li family, and I didn't dare to say anything more."
