...
In the courtyard, Wu Dong stood aside instructing the two children on boxing. No matter how poorly they performed their movements, he would praise them from time to time and correct them as well.
Seeing Qin Boyan appear in the courtyard by chance, Wu Dong raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Do you want to come with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu?"
Waving his hand, Qin Boyan replied, "I'll go help my sister-in-law cook." He couldn't bring himself to stretch his arms and kick around with the two little ones in broad daylight; he'd rather get up early every day and learn kung fu from his sister-in-law.
"Second brother, Second Sister is here to help in the kitchen. You can stay in the yard and train with Comrade Wu along with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu."
Song Lan's voice carried into the courtyard. Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan's expression instantly became quite interesting. Seeing this, Wu Dong's eyes were filled with a mocking look, which Qin Boyan happened to see, making him feel very uncomfortable for a moment.
He had just said he was going to help in the kitchen when his sister-in-law blocked his way. Look, even the two little ones are laughing at him now!
"bring it on."
Wu Dong smiled and beckoned Qin Boyan to come closer.
"Second brother, are you feeling embarrassed?"
The adorable little Wu looked at Qin Boyan and asked with a grin.
"Go away, go away, what's there for me to be embarrassed about?!"
Qin Boyan waved his hand at the child like he was herding ducks, clearly unwilling to pay him any more attention, lest the little one laugh at him for being so concerned about saving face.
"Second brother is lying!"
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, saying, "If you don't believe me, go look in the mirror. Your face is so red right now!"
Even the sweet little girl joined in the fun: "Second Brother's blushing is real!" With Song Lan, his sister-in-law, lovingly caring for and guiding her, the little girl became more lively every day, speaking more confidently and no longer easily getting teary-eyed.
"Nonsense."
Qin Boyan pinched the little girl's nose, his eyes filled with affection.
"...Sixth Brother isn't lying, Second Brother's face really is so red!" Feeling her brother's affection, the sweet and soft little girl became bolder: "I'm not lying. If Second Brother doesn't believe me, then listen to Little Brother and go look in the mirror!"
"Hey! You've been corrupted by your brother, huh!"
Qin Boyan flicked the girl's forehead with his finger and said, "Alright, your second brother will train with you. If anyone gets distracted again, even if Brother Wu doesn't criticize you, I, as your second brother, will definitely not be polite!"
Upon hearing this, the two little ones immediately withdrew their gaze from Qin Boyan and continued to stretch their arms and kick their legs earnestly.
Song Lan and her family lived a warm and joyful life as usual, unaware that someone was actively plotting to use a "borrowed knife to kill" to deal with her.
And this person was none other than Song Jiaojiao.
As for why she wanted to use a "borrowed knife to kill" approach against Song Lan, it was nothing more than jealousy, distrust, and the slaps Song Lan had given her.
And sure enough, by fabricating stories, Song Jiaojiao persuaded the "sucker" Yuan Xiaoya to launch her plan two days ago.
Well, rather than using "persuasion" to describe Song Jiaojiao's use of Yuan Xiaoya to achieve her goal of getting rid of Song Lan, it would be more accurate to use "instigation".
Yes, Song Jiaojiao figured out Yuan Xiaoya's thoughts and knew that Yuan Xiaoya had a strong possessive desire for Chen Dongze. Then, when she was alone with Yuan Xiaoya, she would often stir up hatred for Song Lan by saying how good the relationship between Chen Dongze and Song Lan was and how gentle Chen Dongze's smile was to Song Lan.
In short, she successfully aroused Yuan Xiaoya's jealousy, and she made that fire burn brighter and brighter every day.
Finally, Yuan Xiaoya could no longer tolerate it, especially since she noticed that Chen Dongze was easily distracted.
Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but she was almost certain what the other person was thinking—her ex-boyfriend, Song Lan.
With Song Jiaojiao fanning the flames and Chen Dongze's lingering affections, Yuan Xiaoya's jealousy burned like a raging fire. She didn't want to become a laughing stock in the compound, nor did she want to miss out on the love of her life. She decided to remove this thorn in her side no matter what.
Undoubtedly, the thorn in her side was Song Lan, and Song Jiaojiao was both happy and smug when Yuan Xiaoya made her decision.
Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to show anything unusual in front of Yuan Xiaoya.
reason?
It's very simple, so as not to let Yuan Xiaoya see through her thoughts.
That day, around eight o'clock in the morning, Zheng Laidi came out of the vegetable and daily necessities store run by the factory, carrying a shopping basket. She looked up and saw several acquaintances gathered under a tree not far away, whispering to each other. Intrigued, she quickly went over and asked:
What are you talking about?
Before the acquaintances could answer, Zheng Laidi said, "I see you're all talking quite enthusiastically. Tell me so I can have a laugh too."
"Haven't you heard?"
The woman who spoke to Zheng Laidi was named Ma Fenglan. She had witnessed many of the disturbances at Zheng Laidi's house, the most recent being when Zheng Laidi stood in the yard making veiled accusations against Song Lan's yard a while ago. Now, she stared intently at Zheng Laidi, and when the other shook her head, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you haven't heard anything?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about, yet you're asking me if I've heard about it. Are you just not going to tell me, or do you think I'm stupid?"
Zheng Laidi looked unhappy.
"Honestly, when did I say you were stupid? I was thinking about what we were talking about, which spread around the gates of the old and new residential areas yesterday afternoon, and I thought you might know about it, which is why I was puzzled when you asked us."
Ma Fenglai said, "Since you don't know, I'll tell you. I heard that there's a female comrade in our factory's staff hospital..." After rambling on about the gossip she had heard, Ma Fenglai saw that Zheng Laidi didn't react for a while, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you now?"
"How can someone like that continue to work at our factory's staff hospital? She's just a slut, yet she occupies a nursing position at our factory's staff hospital. How can she have the nerve to do that?"
"If you ask me, she should quit that job and stay home instead of making a fool of herself!" After a pause, Zheng Laidi asked Ma Fenglai, "Do you know what that woman's name is?"
"what you up to?"
Ma Fenglai did not answer directly, but asked a question with a puzzled expression.
"Never mind that, just tell me what that shameless slut is called."
Her daughter Sanya will be home today. If that shameless slut loses her job, then her daughter can fill the vacant nursing position at the staff hospital. Wouldn't that mean they'd have two secure jobs?
"I heard her name is Song Lan. She was transferred here from the main factory's staff hospital in Beijing. Don't do anything rash. We're just hearing this secondhand. What if it's just someone spreading rumors?"
But you've given me a hard time with your loose tongue, and if things escalate to the workers' hospital, and the factory leaders investigate, not only will you be in trouble, but it will also drag several of us down with you.”
Ma Fenglai whispered instructions to Zheng Laidi.
"Who are you calling a foul-mouthed woman? Sister Ma, you can't just insult people like that. If my husband finds out, he'll think he'll think something of me!"
