The news of Yu Mei's arrest and the interrogation of her mother and stepfather spread like wildfire throughout the compound. So when Yu Mei's mother and stepfather appeared, people either pointed at them or looked at them with wary and inquisitive eyes from afar.
This also includes Xu Xinning, who is just watching the show and enjoying the gossip.
"Oh! She's back. You said she really didn't know about her ex-boyfriend's affair?" someone whispered.
"Who knows? They probably wouldn't know if they were released now, otherwise how could they be here?"
"What kind of fate does the second son of the Yu family have? The first one died young, and this one is a troublemaker."
"What happened to her that night? Look, her hair has turned white."
"This looks more like her age; she used to look like a vixen."
"How could someone who isn't a vixen possibly bewitch Xiao Rizi and the second son of the Yu family?"
"Damn it, ever since those two married into the Yu family, what kind of life has Yu Lao Er's own daughter been living? Otherwise, why would such a good girl marry a country bumpkin?"
"Oh dear! We almost forgot about that girl if you hadn't mentioned her."
"Poor thing! This second son of Yu deserves it. He didn't treat his own daughter well, but treated his stepdaughter like a treasure. Now he's getting his comeuppance."
"It must be that one up ahead... couldn't stand it anymore." As he spoke, the man mysteriously pointed to the sky.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's creepy."
...
Xu Xinning and the other two sat there watching the show, looking at this and that.
Xu Xinning believes that sometimes gossiping is a way to get closer to your neighbors, because you can learn a lot about other people's lives while doing so.
The whispers weren't kept secret from Yu Mei's mother and Yu Lao Er, so they could hear everyone's comments clearly.
With a sullen face, Yu Lao Er walked quickly home.
Yu Lao Er married Yu Mei's mother for two reasons: firstly, Yu Mei's mother's beauty truly matched his aesthetic standards; secondly, Yu Mei's mother knew how to please him, both in daily life and in bed.
Men are sometimes just like that. As long as a woman can please him in every way, it will greatly satisfy his vanity and, most importantly, his male desires.
Yu Mei's mother was illiterate and came from a poor family, so she felt like she had reached the heavens when she married Yu Lao Er. Yu Lao Er was her heaven, so she always granted his requests.
Seeing that the two were almost home, Xu Xinning pulled Qin Yao and Kuang Meizhu along and quietly followed them. She felt that the Yu family's scandal would definitely be even bigger, and how could she miss such a big scandal?
Qin Yao found it amusing, but she also wanted to know Old Master Yu's reaction. Besides, she felt indignant for Yu Lao Er's biological daughter, Yu Bao Zhu. She didn't know why she felt a little excited about Yu Lao Er and the Yu family's misfortune.
Yu Baozhu is lucky. Her current husband is sincere to her and truly cherishes her. What if she had fallen for some other hypocritical man instead of him?
Qin Yao felt that given Yu Baozhu's situation and personality at the time, she would probably get married anyway, and then her life would really be hard to predict.
Her relationship with Yu Baozhu wasn't particularly good, and Yu Baozhu's personality wasn't very likable, but just because Yu Baozhu secretly helped her, Qin Yao felt that she deserved to be treated sincerely.
So seeing Yu Lao Er, who had never cared about his biological daughter, suffer misfortune made Qin Yao feel very relieved.
Furthermore, Grandpa Yu was not a qualified grandfather either. When his own granddaughter was at home, he let her be bullied by her stepmother and stepdaughter, living a precarious life. After she went to the countryside, he never inquired about her, let alone gave her a single word.
Qin Yao felt that the Yu family was cold-hearted and bizarre.
In the past, when Yu Mei was around her, she would often talk about her family. When she talked about Yu Lao Er, she would call him "my dad" very affectionately. She thought that the Yu family was as harmonious and warm as her own family, which was one of the reasons why she was so close to Yu Mei.
When you're caught up in something, you can't see things clearly. Only after you leave the situation do you realize that there were already inconsistencies, but you were just too naive to notice them back then.
Kuang Meizhu was worried that Xu Xinning might bump into something while rushing, since her belly was so big and it made her anxious.
Another thing is that she is increasingly finding herself getting closer to Xu Xinning.
I used to think that Xu Xinning was the kind of fairy who could only be admired from afar. She was aloof and elegant, knew how to behave properly, spoke politely, and was very graceful in her eating and doing things. She was a pleasure to look at.
But this time when she came over, she found that Xu Xinning had changed. She had become more cheerful and talkative. When she was angry, she would put on a stern face. When she was happy, she would dance excitedly. Moreover, she especially liked to act cute and would act cute with anyone. After all, she was the youngest in the family.
What Kuang Meizhu found most amusing was that Xu Xinning was now particularly fond of gossip and had an exceptionally strong sense of curiosity; she would flock to any place that was lively and exciting.
And so, she went off to chase after what she considered to be the biggest juicy gossip.
She not only loves gossip herself, but she also likes to share gossip with others, so she and Qin Yao became her gossip allies.
When Xu Xinning and the others arrived, she found that the entrance to the Yu family's house was particularly lively today. Many people deliberately walked past the Yu family's house, as if afraid that the Yu family would find out that they were there to watch the drama unfold. Those people were burying their heads in the sand and walking back and forth in front of the Yu family's house. Little did they know that their eyes had already betrayed them. Who was walking past someone's door while their eyes kept glancing into their house?
Xu Xinning was quite frank. She didn't shy away from it at all and found a good spot to sit down right next to the Yu family's door. She couldn't stand standing all the time; her legs were under too much strain.
Three pregnant women sat in a row by the Yu family’s door, their backs against the wall, practically blocking the entrance to someone else’s house.
Seeing Xu Xinning and her group sit down so openly, the people walking around stopped pretending and immediately found good seats, some sitting and some standing. If they didn't find good seats soon, there probably wouldn't be any left.
As soon as Yu Lao Er got home, he was called into the study by Old Master Yu, while Yu Mei's mother wanted to go back to her own room.
This incident was a devastating blow to her.
It is said that a woman's first man is unforgettable.
The man's feigned death was even more unacceptable to her than the fact that he was a mistress or that Yu Mei was an enemy agent.
She truly loved him back then, and their married life was very happy.
In the past, other young wives in the village envied her. In the countryside, it was rare for a man to take such good care of a woman, but her husband took great care of her.
He managed everything at home and outside, never letting her lift heavy objects or get out of bed.
When Yu Mei was born, she spent a whole month in postpartum confinement, and he took very good care of her and Yu Mei herself.
