"Sigh, I just wanted to find some playmates for my two kids, but who knew they'd be led astray too?"
Grandma also felt exhausted. She had a grandson who was suspected of being a traitor, and she was often pointed at and gossiped about when she went out.
Adults are fine; they just pretend they didn't see or hear anything. But it's different with children. Some of them have started to isolate Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
Lin Chuchu was taken aback, and felt bad too. Unfortunately, the nature of her job did not allow her to leave the capital. Otherwise, she might have taken her family and left.
Go to Guangzhou or Shanghai, anywhere you don't know anyone, that's fine too.
At this moment, Lin Chuchu felt a slight regret for giving up the opportunity to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs back then.
However, if she really gets into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this incident with Mu Chen will be enough to give her a hard time.
Grandma said, "Let's not talk about them anymore. Why was your mission so sudden? You look like you've lost weight."
She felt sorry for her granddaughter-in-law, "Have your dad buy some bones tonight, I'll make you some soup."
Lin Chuchu is good in every way, except that her job often requires her to travel for several days at a time.
Lin Chuchu quickly nodded, "Okay, Grandma."
"Grandma, do we still have any bath tickets? I want to take a bath first."
"Yes, it's in the bedside table in the room. Take it yourself."
Lin Chuchu went to Mu's mother's shop first to tell them that she was back.
Then I packed my things and went to the bathhouse.
Today is not Saturday or Sunday, so there aren't many people taking showers.
Lin Chuchu paid some money to have the bathhouse attendant scrub her back.
When she walked out feeling refreshed, it was as if all her fatigue had disappeared.
Lin Chuchu bought a bottle of soda and dried her hair while drinking it.
Just then, Lin Chuchu seemed to hear someone gossiping.
"Have you heard? That Mrs. Wang in the alley married a daughter-in-law who has five brothers. It's said that the daughter-in-law has to give half of her salary to her brothers."
"Really? Sister-in-law Wang is capable? Did she marry five wives?"
"That's right. I heard that the Li family's daughter-in-law has to figure out how to get houses and dowries for her younger brothers' weddings."
Lin Chuchu, "..."
Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.
Sister-in-law Wang, isn't that Aunt Wang's family? Doesn't she only have one unmarried youngest son left?
Tsk tsk, after all that picking and choosing, thinking no girl was good enough for his youngest son, he ended up picking this family.
Would Aunt Wang really suffer such a loss?
This could easily escalate into a conflict.
Ever since Mu Chen's accident, Aunt Wang has been speaking in a sarcastic and insinuating tone. Every time she sees the Mu family, she practically wears disdain on her face, acting all high and mighty.
She goes around saying how wonderful her youngest son is, and that he should marry someone with a good job and good character so that he can outdo the Mu family.
Don't you realize that Lin Chuchu is someone that ordinary people can't compare to?
Lin Chuchu's smile was harder to suppress than AK's. In a great mood, she happened to come across a popsicle vendor when she went out and bought a few more.
It was getting dark, and Mom and Dad should be home by now, so I hurried home.
As I approached my house, I saw Aunt Wang's house, which was two houses away. Suddenly, the door was opened, and Aunt Wang was chasing after several people with a broom.
A middle-aged couple, leading several children of varying ages.
The middle-aged woman was still talking animatedly.
“Oh, my dear in-laws, my eldest daughter is carrying your Li family’s child. There’s no way she can get a divorce. If she does, my family will sue your son for rape.”
"Hmph, what's wrong with eating your food? My daughter has a job."
The middle-aged woman said smugly.
Aunt Wang was so angry that her face turned red. "You don't want a divorce, huh? Fine, I'll find someone tomorrow to sever all ties with my stupid son. I won't care where they go after that."
"Trying to freeload off my family? No way! Get out of here!"
After saying that, she turned to leave, but then she saw Lin Chuchu watching the commotion in the crowd.
He glared at her fiercely, then left without saying a word.
After watching the commotion to her heart's content, Lin Chuchu turned around and went inside. She first distributed the popsicles to her family members, then sat down on a stool and began to eat them one bite at a time.
"Grandma, what's going on at Aunt Wang's house? I've been watching the commotion for ages."
Grandma, who was sewing shoe soles, couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Aunt Wang has been shrewd all her life, but she never expected to suffer a loss when it came to finding a daughter-in-law."
"When the matchmaker came to our door, she didn't mention the specifics of the bride's family. She only said that the girl had a good job, was well-educated, and had a gentle and easy-going personality."
"Haha, she's easy to handle, but she's a mama's girl who's been brainwashed by her family. She listens to her family in everything, and that's why she's already causing trouble not long after getting married?"
Aunt Wang and their family never got along, but after so many years as neighbors, everyone wanted to get along well.
The noise from that side every few days disturbs the neighbors' rest, but it's their business, so there's really nothing they can say.
The family waited for Mu's mother to come back before they started eating.
Mother Mu went to collect debts from the families who owed her money and goods.
There's no reason to help them; otherwise, their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson will be criticized.
I wasn't in a hurry to get it before, but I did so because we've been neighbors for many years.
Now that they've lost all sense of shame, why should the Mu family still support them?
Those with better conditions should take everything back; those facing real difficulties should take back only a portion first.
Mu's mother had never lost an argument. When she returned home with the things, she said that those people were arguing.
