The news of Liu Aimei's affair spread like wildfire, and Liu's mother was too ashamed to even go out and borrow money!
The things people are saying are really nasty.
Li Xia felt ashamed after hearing this; she still lacked a lot of swear words.
From New Year's Eve until now, the tenth or eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, Old Lady Liu has been leaving early and returning late every day, always using the excuse of going out to find Liu Aimei.
Zhao Qiang visited once during this period.
Li Xia, who was hiding behind the door, overheard that Zhao Qiang actually demanded five hundred yuan!
Startled, Li Xia quickly hid her and Liu Qiangdao's secret stash of money!
Just yesterday morning, news of Liu Aimei being a mistress and then being abandoned spread like wildfire.
Xiong Jing hardly ever takes Zhuang Chenghao out anymore; she can't stand the pointing fingers and gossip. Zhuang Chenghao can only play in the yard, and Li Xia thinks he's noisy and has scolded Xiong Jing many times.
Neither Liu nor Xiong had time to scold Li Xia.
The atmosphere in the Liu family is terrible.
Old Man Liu would slam his fist on the table and curse at every meal, saying that Liu Aimei had completely disgraced the Liu family ancestors.
"Even when I die in the underworld, my spine will be bent! He Shuqiong, is this the good daughter you gave birth to? She's not even as good as Li Xia!"
Li Xia, who was inexplicably scolded: "???"
Is that old man crazy?
"Liu Aimei and Song Guomin used to have such a good life together, but you! You just had to go and help Xiong Jing borrow that 500 yuan. As a result, the couple had a fight, but Liu Aimei didn't cheat on you! And there was no divorce!"
Previously, Liu's neighbors had all secretly envied Liu Aimei for marrying so well.
My husband is a college graduate, and my in-laws have respectable jobs.
The younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are easy to manage!
Now everything is destroyed!
It's all the Xiong family's fault. Once they got involved with the Xiong family, they never had a good life!
Old Lady Liu had been holding back for so long, but she couldn't take it anymore!
"Is this my fault? I told you long ago, if we didn't have Liu Aimei bring money back every month, they wouldn't have separated!"
"Fine, you old woman, now you're blaming me? You didn't use the money and things Liu Aimei brought back? You say it's wrong to support your family, but don't think I don't know how much money you secretly took from Liu Aimei a few years ago, and you gave it all to He Shulan!"
"If you're so good to your sister and niece, why don't you move out and live with them!"
Ever since Liu Aimei's reputation was ruined, the Liu family has been constantly arguing, but this is the first time they've argued so mercilessly.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jing, who was in the courtyard, blushed deeply with embarrassment.
Li Xia continued to fan the flames, "Did you hear that? It's all because of you!"
Liu Qiangdao also looked at Xiong Jing with a cold gaze.
People in Liuqiangdao Factory are talking about this now, and I bet they know about it in Heping Lane too, and they're probably laughing at their family behind their backs.
Liu Qiangdao stared at Xiong Jing with eyes that looked like he wanted to kill her!
There was indeed a lot of talk about it in Heping Lane. One of the neighbors there worked in the same factory as Liu Qiangdao.
The third and fifth brothers also knew about this, and the two brothers were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the floor, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
Back home, the third and fifth brothers started cooking.
Halfway through, the two brothers started discussing it again.
The eldest son and his wife used to lord it over the whole family, and the three brothers never imagined that they would end up in this situation.
Song Jianmin narrowed his eyes. "I wonder if my elder brother knows about this."
Song Anmin scoffed, "Song Guomin lives in town, so the news shouldn't be that fast. Even if he did find out, Song Guomin wouldn't be willing to take over!"
After thinking about it, Song Jianmin concluded that given his eldest son's personality, he would definitely not have any further involvement with Liu Aimei.
Song Guomin married Liu Aimei partly because he was attracted to Liu Aimei's looks, and partly because Liu Aimei was eloquent and persuasive. Although the Liu family wasn't well-off, Liu Aimei was presentable.
After several years of marriage, Liu Aimei insisted on having an affair and getting a divorce, showing no regard for their past relationship. Song Guomin has been cuckolded for so long, and he certainly won't agree to remarry Liu Aimei.
Song Jianmin shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
"Third Brother, hurry up, the meat's almost burnt!"
Song Anmin took out a plate and filled it with two portions.
"Why did you buy so much meat today?" The pot almost tipped over.
Song Jianmin picked up the plate and was about to leave.
"Didn't Chen Zhou give us dumplings last time? Let's give her a plate of vegetables today."
Song Jianmin returned within minutes.
The food was already laid out on the table.
Song Anmin looked at the fifth brother with a half-smile.
"Fifth brother, tell me honestly, do you have a thing for Chen Zhou?"
After saying that, Song Jianmin blushed deeply.
"No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Song Anmin, shut your mouth! If anyone finds out, I'll strangle you!!!"
Song Anmin burst into laughter, "Haha ...
The fifth child has always been like this; the more he explains, the more anxious he gets, and the more he blushes.
"What's wrong with you? Chen Zhou is a college student. Who are you trying to fool with this act? It's your good fortune that Chen Zhou is interested in you! Or I'll risk my life to go home and talk to my parents about this and ask them to play matchmaker for you."
Song Jianmin shoveled rice into his mouth.
"That's not true! I told you, I don't like Chen! Song Anmin, can you stop being so gossipy? You're just like Liu Aimei used to ask me how much my salary was!"
Song Anmin cursed.
"Song Jianmin, if you say another word to me, believe me, I'll beat you up!"
Song Jianmin hummed in response and continued eating.
Her face grew increasingly red.
Song Anmin couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Song Anmin teased him, "Fifth brother, didn't you want to introduce Chen Zhou to me before? What, are you having second thoughts?"
