Song Huizhen bought two apartments in Junchi Plaza. This news was accidentally discovered by Chang's aunt, shocking and enraging her.
How could her former sister-in-law, the middle-aged divorced woman whom she had suppressed for more than a decade, possibly have the ability to buy a house, let alone two new houses that others could only envy?
"Jianmin, my cousin said that Song Huizhen bought a house in Junchi Plaza. Where do you think she got the money? Could it be that the money my brother lost gambling before was fake, and he was trying to cheat our parents out of money?"
Considering she's been married into the Chang family for over a decade, her brother-in-law twice incurred huge gambling debts. Was that money truly lost through gambling, or did the couple conspire to swindle him?
"Impossible. How could my older brother cheat my parents out of their money? The money he lost gambling was initially raised by us, but in the end, my older brother paid it all back."
Chang Guomin's uncle knows him very well. He's easily influenced and blindly filial; you wouldn't dare lie to his parents even if you gave him the guts.
"Then why does Song Hye-jin have money to buy a house less than half a year after her divorce? And why did she buy two apartments in Junchi Plaza at once?"
She knew what her husband was saying, but she was still unwilling to accept it. Why did Song Hye-jin have this ability?
"It's money she made from setting up a stall! I've heard my older brother say before that Song Huizhen makes a lot of money selling fruit. A couple of years ago, she sold some kind of 'glutinous rice' variety of lychees for tens of yuan per kilogram."
My older brother said that when her business is good, she can earn in a day what other people earn in two months.
That brother-in-law must be stupid; he let such a money-making god slip away.
"Why didn't the older brother get any money in the divorce? He still owes tens of thousands of yuan in gambling debts, while Song Huizhen has money to buy a house. How could the older brother be so stupid as to not want the money?"
Chang Guomin still owed money to the two elders of the Chang family, which already made Chang's aunt unhappy. Now, Song Huizhen's purchase of a house has reignited her resentment.
"Alright, what do you want to say or do? Stop beating around the bush, I'm sleepy."
Uncle Chang yawned impatiently. He knew his wife very well. All that rambling was just her way of trying to get some benefit from him.
"Hmph, I'm doing this for our family, for our son. What do you think about letting my brother ask Song Huizhen for a house? My brother should have a share in the money Song Huizhen spent on the house, right? My brother owes our parents money, it's good to pay it off sooner rather than later!"
Seeing that her husband was about to fall asleep, Aunt Chang quickly nudged him and took the opportunity to explain her purpose so that Uncle Chang could discuss it with Old Lady Chang the next day.
"Alright, alright, I know you're doing this for our family. I'll talk to Mom tomorrow. This matter can only be resolved if she intervenes."
His older brother was a man who listened to his mother his whole life. As long as his mother intervened, there was nothing his older brother would refuse to agree to.
Uncle Chang and his wife are truly a perfect match; they're like-minded people, their thoughts are exactly the same.
After the couple had discussed the matter thoroughly, Old Lady Chang, who was always ready to take the lead, stepped forward. However, instead of immediately asking Chang Guomin for money, she took matters into her own hands.
That day, the old lady of the Chang family led the youngest sister-in-law of the Chang family to Song Huizhen's fruit shop. The fruit shop, which was several dozen square meters in size, was filled with shelves, clean and tidy, and filled with the fragrant aroma of fruit.
Song Hye-jin has undergone a complete transformation, with jet-black hair, fair and firm skin, and a relaxed and cheerful expression, all indicating that she is doing very well and is happy after her divorce.
"You, Song Huizhen, you wasted my son's trust in you. You transferred marital assets before the marriage, and now you have money to buy a fruit shop and a house right after the divorce."
"Look at this Song Huizhen, everyone. She not only divorced me but also swindled my son out of his entire fortune, and even took my Chang family's grandchildren away."
The time when Granny Chang caused trouble was right when people were getting off work and buying groceries. There were many people coming and going, including many regular customers who bought fruit from Song Huizhen.
“I advise you not to spread rumors and cause trouble. I used to be your daughter-in-law and couldn’t do anything to you, but now you don’t have that right to protect yourself.”
Song Huizhen sneered. She was never one to compromise. In the past, she would even come to the door to curse when she was bullied. Now, she would be even less merciful.
"Old Mrs. Chang, I have never taken a single penny from your son before or after our divorce. All my money was earned with my own hands."
"Your son used to give you his entire salary, and I'm the one who raises your grandchildren, so how dare you accuse me of taking your son's money?"
"It's not my son's money. You think you could open a shop and buy a house just by making money from a street stall? Don't make a fool of yourself. You probably earned it by working as a prostitute, Song Huizhen..."
"Shut up! Who dares to cause trouble in our market?"
Liu Yihai, who was patrolling the market, received a call saying that Song Huizhen's fruit shop was being harassed. He rushed over and overheard what Old Lady Chang was saying.
"And who are you? Are you also having an affair with Song Huizhen?"
"That old woman is ruthless; she has no manners whatsoever. Is this Huizhen's former mother-in-law? With an old woman like that around, no wonder she got divorced."
Song Huizhen didn't care about the good habit of not gossiping behind people's backs. She only knew that the old woman of the Chang family was no ordinary person. She didn't need to hide her character. The more people knew her true nature, the better they could guard against her causing trouble.
Therefore, everyone doing business in the market had been "educated" about the deeds of the Chang family's old lady by Song Huizhen, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So when everyone saw the real Chang family's old lady, it confirmed everything that Song Huizhen had said before.
