The middle-aged woman was Lin Shufang's cousin-in-law, named Yang Jinfeng. Her name sounded grand, but she was extremely petty, loved to gossip, and wasn't exactly a clean freak.
Frightened by Ye Qingqing, Yang Jinfeng fled back to her hometown. Not daring to delay for even a minute, she asked her husband to get fresh torreya leaves, boiled a large bowl of water, and drank it all down. She almost choked to death, but less than an hour after drinking it, the hives on her face were gone. Yang Jinfeng believed this wholeheartedly, thinking that she had just had an allergic reaction to eating too much torreya.
Actually, Ye Qingqing had only calculated the onset time of the medicine powder. It would take Yang Jinfeng two or three hours to get home, and the medicine would only be effective for five hours. Even if she didn't drink anything, the rash would naturally disappear when the time came.
But Yang Jinfeng is selfish and afraid of death, so she definitely won't do nothing. Ye Qingqing took advantage of this psychology and that's how she successfully scared her away.
Yang Jinfeng enthusiastically grabbed Lin Shufang's arm, wanting to pull her to stay at her own home. These past few days, she had been coming here to inquire whenever she had free time, still longing for the old house. That's why she described the old house as dilapidated, hoping that Lin Shufang and Lu Mo would dislike it and then sell it to her.
However, with Ye Qingqing around, her plans were destined to fail.
"No, we've booked a hotel. Your place only has two rooms; there's no room for all of us," Lin Shufang politely declined.
Yang Jinfeng's family lived in a small attic building in the alley, with only two rooms, totaling less than fifty square meters. It was just enough for the three of them. With so many people, they wouldn't even be able to sleep on the floor. Moreover, Gongsun Lin and Ruan Yingzi were both girls from wealthy families, so how could they be allowed to sleep on the floor?
Yang Jinfeng felt a pang in her heart, secretly blaming Lin Shufang for not knowing how to speak properly. If her house weren't so small, how could she have humbled herself to beg to buy this old house!
"Which hotel should we stay at? There's a guesthouse near my house, maybe we shouldn't stay there, it'll be convenient to visit each other." Yang Jinfeng changed her mind again.
Ye Qingqing said impatiently, "The deposit for the Xiangjiang Hotel has already been paid."
The Xiangjiang Hotel is the best hotel around here. It's not that she can't stay in a guesthouse, but she has to consider Ruan Yingzi and Gongsun Lin. These two definitely won't be used to staying in a guesthouse. The Xiangjiang Hotel is just barely acceptable. Besides, staying near this woman's house is already driving her crazy.
Yang Jinfeng was secretly surprised. A night at the Xiangjiang Hotel was not cheap; it cost her almost half a month's salary!
She looked at Lin Shufang with envy. How could this jinx have such good fortune?
He's clearly a jinx; God must be blind.
It turns out that although Yang Jinfeng is Lin Shufang's cousin, the two are actually the same age and were classmates in elementary and junior high school. Lin Shufang's family is well-off, and her parents are both teachers. They attach great importance to her education and have changed the custom that girls only go to junior high school at that time. They insisted that Lin Shufang go to high school and eventually passed the teacher's college entrance examination and was assigned to Pingjiang City as a teacher.
Later, through an introduction, she met Lu Mo's father, who was handsome and talented. Lu Mo's father came from a good family and was very outstanding. Many girls wanted to marry him, but Lu Mo's father took a liking to Lin Shufang at first sight.
When Lin Shufang got married, her parents were still alive, but their health was not good. Before Lu Mo's father had his accident, Lin's parents had passed away one after another. Therefore, Lin Shufang had lost three important relatives in succession, which explains why she was so heartbroken that she gave birth prematurely.
Yang Jinfeng's family was not well-off. She only went to junior high school before starting work at a department store. However, she felt that she was better off than Lin Shufang because she was lucky. She married a husband who worked in a state-owned factory, and her husband was very obedient to her and in good health. Unlike Lin Shufang, who became a widow right after getting married and had to raise a child born after her husband's death, she was incredibly stupid.
