If an outsider were to enter Yangliu Hutong at this time, they would discover that everyone in the hutong is sick!
It's early morning, a time that should be perfect for sleeping, but everyone in this alley is gathered at the doorway, craning their necks.
Some were so extreme that they climbed onto the top of the wall, and everyone was looking in the same direction.
Three elderly women were engaged in a passionate and energetic battle, while a man was busy trying to persuade one side and pull the other side along.
Standing at the innermost edge, Bling could clearly see the expressions of the four people involved.
Over there, after Old Mrs. Shi made her dazzling entrance, she appealed to Qi Gong's emotions and reasoned with him:
"Son-in-law, you've slept on the same kang (heated brick bed) with Zhao Di for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is? She just has a bit of a temper, but she's completely harmless."
"You must not be provoked by this treacherous person with ulterior motives, lest it damage your relationship with Zhao Di."
Aunt Qi chimed in, "That's right, that's right. After all this time, don't you know what kind of person I am? I admit, I'm biased. I treat Yu Yang better than Yu Sheng and Yu Di."
"But Yu Huai is our only daughter. I cherish her too much to push her into a fire pit. Old Qi, you've seen how I've always treated Yu Huai. How can you doubt me?" After saying this, she covered her face and sobbed softly.
Grandma Shi immediately chimed in: "Little Qi, I know you were just misled by that wicked person and didn't mean it. Zhao Di isn't the type to hold grudges. How about this, you apologize to her and let it go. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between husband and wife."
After this series of blows, Qi Gong was clearly struggling to keep up. He was just about to apologize to his wife as his mother-in-law had suggested when he was interrupted. The one who interrupted him was none other than Aunt Shen, the one known as the villain: "Pah! You old hag! Who are you calling a villain?"
"Do you think I don't know? This wicked idea was yours! You always have that smiling face, but you're more vicious than anyone else!" Aunt Shen continued to spout off.
However, most people did not believe her when she said that.
Putting Grandma Shi and Aunt Shen together, they clearly trusted Grandma Shi's character more.
"Little Shen, what you said really hits my heart!" Old Mrs. Shi said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What are you pretending for! How do you think I knew Qi Yuhuai was pregnant?" Aunt Shen sneered, "I've finally seen what it means to be an old thief who doesn't die."
After saying that, without giving Old Mrs. Shi a chance to speak, he said, "On June 7th, when you and your good daughter were plotting at home, I could hear everything clearly from next door."
She tilted her head and gave Old Mrs. Shi a wicked smile, but the words that came out of her mouth could kill: "You know, girls are easy to coax. Once she gets the marriage certificate, even Xiao Qi can't do anything about it. Then you can just give her a little encouragement, and the job will be a piece of cake."
"You even said that you'd show off your skills in front of Qi Yuhuai and then you wouldn't have to worry about not being able to control her? Qi Yuhuai is the only girl in the family, so controlling her is equivalent to controlling the whole family, right? Have you forgotten what I taught you before?"
Aunt Shen imitated Old Lady Shi's speech perfectly: "And another thing, you said Aunt Qi can't live without you, but she's only been gone a short time and her two stepsons are already trampling on her head. All those years of your teaching have been wasted!"
After saying that, Aunt Shen turned to Engineer Qi and said, "Brother Qi, now that things have come to light, I'll be frank with you. Give me Qi Yuhuai's job, or I'll report her to the Revolutionary Committee for having an affair!"
Qi Gong was caught off guard by the mention of the topic, and he didn't even have time to hide the shock in his eyes.
"Get out! You shameless slut! That job is reserved for Yu Huai, no one else can even think about it!" Aunt Qi bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Grandma Shi chimed in, "Little Shen, isn't this extortion? So many neighbors are watching. You should think about your child, shouldn't you?"
Aunt Shen was so desperate for her daughter that she was almost going crazy, and she couldn't care less about anything else: "Don't give me any of that useless stuff!" she shouted, interrupting their bickering.
"I'll just ask you one question: are you going to give us the job or not? If not, then we'll see you at the Revolutionary Committee!" Aunt Shen exuded an aura of immense power.
She turned and gave Aunt Qi and her son a smug look before striding arrogantly into the courtyard.
She hadn't walked two steps when she saw Sang Shen and Bu Ling, who were watching the commotion from the crowd. She called out loudly, "Little Sang, your brother is the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Tell me, is your brother going to do anything about Qi Yuhuai's situation?"
Holy shit!
Both Buling and Sangs cursed in their hearts without prior agreement!
Sangshen was about to speak when Buling pulled her back, "Aunt Shen, if you make such a fuss, then it won't just be Sister Jiang Hua who gets the job!"
As soon as she said that, the neighbors' eyes lit up, and Aunt Shen's expression immediately changed. She didn't need to look to know what the expressions of the people around her were like.
Her earlier smugness vanished, replaced by a gritted teeth and a growl at Bling: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Bling smiled and replied, "Whatever you think is true."
Not content with that, she added, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you see this opportunity, don't miss it! First come, first served! Think of your children suffering in the countryside! With such a great opportunity right in front of you, what are you hesitating for?"
Aunt Shen's eyes were bloodshot.
Buling mimicked her, tilting her head and smiling, "Aunt Shen, you don't need to be so polite~"
Aunt Shen: ....
Aunt Shen was so angry her nose almost crooked!
