It turns out that when Bu Ling and Wu Yuanyuan met Qi Yuhuai, it was the very day she signed up to go to the countryside.
Later, I don't know if she lost her mind or what, but she didn't tell anyone about signing up to go to the countryside. Instead, she kept it a secret and randomly chose a place to go. Yesterday morning, she packed her bags and boarded the train.
Moreover, Aunt Qi discovered that her hidden stash of money was missing. Oh, and by the way, there was also Old Lady Shi's. So, it goes without saying where the money went.
The moment the mother and daughter discovered their money was missing, their faces turned a riot of colors, a veritable kaleidoscope of black. Old Mrs. Shi, still trying to maintain her image, simply turned pale, while Aunt Qi, without such restraint, exclaimed, "That little hussy! How dare she steal my money! No wonder she didn't dare make a sound and ran away!"
Upon hearing this, Engineer Qi glared at her coldly, but Aunt Qi remained unfazed, continuing to mutter curses, "No, I have to go to the countryside to find her and get my money back!"
Aunt Qi doesn't care about anything else now. Only she knows how much money she had saved up. Now that Qi Yuhuai has taken it away, it's like tearing out her heart and drinking her blood!
"Stop!" Qi Gong shouted sternly.
Aunt Qi paused for a moment, then continued walking. She quickly packed a small bundle and hurried out, but stopped halfway there. "Xiao Sang, where is Yu Huai going to work in the countryside?"
Instead of answering Aunt Qi's question, Sangshen looked at Buling. Buling gently shook her head, and Sangshen decisively replied, "I don't know. I only know that she went to the countryside."
"Then help me check!" Aunt Qi said without any politeness.
Sangshen sneered, "What a big face!" Although she didn't say who it was, who among those present didn't know?
Just as Aunt Qi was about to speak, Old Mrs. Shi pinched her: "Xiao Sang, don't mind her, your aunt is just too worried about Yu Huai."
Sangshen smiled enigmatically: "Are you worried about Qi Yuhuai or about her own money?"
Grandma Shi said kindly, "Look at what you're saying, of course you're worried about Yu Huai."
Sangshen was too lazy to argue with this pretentious old lady. She walked up to Buling and said, "Let's go back. We'll be late for work."
Bling didn't want to get involved in other people's family matters: "Let's go."
Their words reminded the neighbors who were still watching the commotion. They looked up at the sky and realized it was indeed getting late. Although they wanted to know what would happen next, getting to work was more important.
After a long day at work, Bu Ling and Sang Shen heard the aftermath of the morning's events when they got home. In the end, Aunt Qi didn't make it, but Qi Yusheng did. It was Qi Gong who instructed her to go, saying he was worried about Qi Yuhuai going to the countryside alone and wanted Qi Yusheng to check on the village she was going to.
Qi Yuhuai's story has been the talk of the town for a long time. The neighbors in the courtyard have been secretly speculating whether it was Old Mrs. Shi who instigated Qi Yuhuai to go to the countryside, otherwise how could she have been so calm that day?
Or perhaps they were heartbroken by Aunt Qi and Old Lady Shi, which is why they simply left.
Regardless of the speculation, Aunt Qi and Old Lady Shi both played a significant role in this matter, and were even the villains.
When Grandma Shi first arrived at the compound, she brought gifts and apologized on behalf of Aunt Qi, so everyone had a very good impression of her.
In addition, she always maintained the demeanor of a kind old lady, so she was quite popular in the compound. However, since her fight with Aunt Shen last time, her popularity has soured.
Although Aunt Shen wasn't exactly a good person, everyone who heard about it will inevitably have a negative impression.
Not to mention that Old Mrs. Shi did not make the solemn oath as Bu Ling had asked, which only made her seem more guilty!
Previously, because of the Han Weiguo incident, the Qi Yuhuai incident seemed insignificant in comparison, and its popularity naturally decreased.
However, Qi Yuhuai's trip to the countryside brought up the old issues again. Moreover, the fact that she only touched the money of these two people while not touching anyone else's money speaks volumes.
Therefore, recently, rumors about a vicious stepmother driving away the original wife's daughter have been circulating widely in this area, and the good reputation that Old Mrs. Shi, who came up with the idea, had previously cultivated has been completely ruined.
Now, she's lucky if she doesn't get the eye-rolling she gets when she goes out.
That day, Bu Ling and Wu Yuanyuan were returning home from work when they ran into Grandma Shi.
Grandma Shi was still the same as before, with a kind smile: "Xiao Bu, Yuan Yuan is off work?"
Bu Ling nodded without speaking, while Wu Yuanyuan, feeling awkward, replied, "Yes, Grandma Shi, where are you going?"
Grandma Shi raised the basket slung over her arm: "Look, my hometown just sent me some flour. I'm sending it to Yuhuai. She suffered so much in the countryside."
Wu Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly: "Well... well, it's pretty good."
Buling poked her back: "Sister Yuanyuan, let's hurry up, I'm a little thirsty."
Wu Yuanyuan felt as if she had been granted a pardon: "Grandma Shi, you're busy, we'll go back first."
Grandma Shi's smile remained unchanged: "Hey, go back now, ride slowly."
The two men didn't answer her; they only left behind their backs.
Grandma Shi turned around, her smile fading, but she quickly smiled again, carrying her basket as she approached the next person...
On the other side, Wu Yuanyuan put Bu Ling down and sighed, "Grandma Shi doesn't seem like that kind of person, does she?"
Bling rolled her eyes: "Yes, she doesn't look like it, she is."
Wu Yuanyuan chuckled awkwardly, "Isn't this all what Aunt Shen said? Can you really believe what she says?"
