Upon hearing this, Bu Ling and Wu Yuanyuan exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.
Bu Ling's backache and headache were gone, and he could put his painkillers aside. He strode into the courtyard and ran towards the backyard.
Wu Yuanyuan followed closely behind, parked her bicycle in her room, and kept up with Bu Ling's pace.
Like the two of them, there was also Sister Mo, who was on vacation today. The three of them ran to the backyard, quickly found a good spot, and stood still.
Sister-in-law Mo also gave each of them a small handful of melon seeds.
Bling took it and thanked him.
Sister Mo knows how to enjoy gossip.
Then he looked at the two people tearing at each other in the middle of the yard.
One side hates dogs and despises old women
The other party is the shady young widow, Sister Liu.
"You shameless vixen, give my son's wages back right now!" Granny Chen passionately declared.
"Aunt Shen, it was Brother Jiang who asked me to collect his wages for him. How could you say that?" Sister Liu said, sobbing.
This distressed Jiang Sheng, the second son of Aunt Shen, who was standing nearby. "Mom, I asked Sister Xiaolian to collect my salary for me. Please don't make things difficult for her!"
Granny Shen was almost driven mad by her second son. She took two steps forward and pounded on her son's fists: "Are you trying to drive me to my death? You don't give your salary to me, but to a stranger. Don't you have any conscience?"
Bu Ling asked softly, "Is Sister Liu's name Xiao Lian?" That name sounds so familiar.
Sister Mo cracked sunflower seeds with a crunching sound, spat twice, and explained softly, "That's right, her name is Liu Lian."
Buling: Durian?
The battle situation over there began to escalate again.
"Mom, Sister Xiaolian is a good woman. She's having a hard time right now, what's wrong with me helping her?" Jiang Sheng felt that his mother was not kind at all.
Upon hearing Jiang Sheng's words, all the women present curled their lips in disapproval.
Granny Shen was so angry she nearly fell backward, but she didn't say anything to Jiang Sheng. Her anger was directed at Widow Liu: "You slut! I'll teach you to seduce my son! If you're so itchy down there, you might as well go sell yourself! Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows! You shameless hussy..."
As she spoke, Aunt Shen began to tear at Widow Liu's clothes.
Widow Liu sobbed softly, but she showed no mercy in her attack.
She grabbed Granny Chen's hair and pulled hard, making Bu Ling's scalp tingle.
Old Woman Shen: "You slut, ridden by a thousand men, you shameless whore, do you think I don't know about your shady dealings? You and..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Widow Liu slapped him across the face.
"Aunt Shen, you...you've misunderstood me! I...I'm not like that, sob sob sob..."
Wu Yuanyuan leaned close to Bu Ling's ear and whispered, "See, I told you so."
Bling gave her an look that said, "You've learned something new."
"Mom, please stop making a scene. And Sister Xiaolian, please don't argue with Mom over me. How can I bear to see you two like this?" Jiang Sheng said earnestly.
The three members of the Bling trio: ...
Onlookers: .....
Bu Ling leaned close to Wu Yuanyuan's ear and whispered, "You didn't tell me that Aunt Shen's second son has this kind of personality."
Sister Mo said casually from the side, "This is the first time I've heard of this either."
How come someone who seemed perfectly normal before is now so prone to delusional thinking?
Even Aunt Shen and Widow Liu were speechless.
Were they doing it for him? For his salary?
Interrupted like this, the two of them lost their temper and couldn't continue arguing.
Granny Chen stretched her hand out in front of Widow Liu: "Give me back my money!"
Widow Liu didn't want to pay back the money; if she did, she would have been beaten for nothing today.
Therefore, she remained silent, only crying quietly, and occasionally glancing at Jiang Sheng with a wronged expression.
This maneuver was perfectly clear to every woman present, and even the men with sound minds understood it.
However, this does not include Jiang Sheng.
"Mom, I already told you, the money was given to Sister Xiaolian by me, it's my salary, so please don't worry about it." Jiang Sheng felt like a hero who had fallen from the sky to save Sister Xiaolian from dire straits.
Seeing the grateful look in Xiaolian's eyes, he became even more smug.
"Aunt Shen, consider this money a loan from Brother Jiang. I will definitely pay it back. My family is really struggling financially. Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back." Widow Liu said, tears welling in her eyes.
"Pah! I'm not buying your act, give me my money back!" Old Mrs. Shen wasn't having any of that; she insisted on getting her money back.
"mom!"
"Get the hell out of here! If you don't pay your living expenses, you can sleep on the streets. Whoever wants to take you in can take you in," Granny Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng was not worried at all; instead, he looked at Widow Liu with a happy expression.
"Sister Xiaolian, may I stay at your place?" This was practically a direct invitation.
Widow Liu bit her lip slightly, looking troubled.
In truth, she hated him to death. If she hadn't been in such dire straits lately, why would she have bothered with this idiot?
"Brother Jiang, it's not that your sister-in-law doesn't agree, it's just that I don't have any spare rooms." How could she possibly be interested in a boiler operator?
Jiang Sheng wanted to suggest that he live with her, since the two of them were practically married anyway, but he didn't say it because he knew Xiao Lian was shy.
"Can I share a room with your son?" he asked, sounding aggrieved.
Widow Liu feigned reluctance: "Xiao Hua and Xiao Ming won't agree." How could she possibly want to wrong her two sons?
Jiang Sheng's eyes dimmed.
Granny Shen watched this scene with a cold laugh.
"See? They're taking advantage of you. Pay me back now, or I'll go to the machine factory and find the boss." The last sentence was said to Widow Liu.
"Mom, that's my salary. I can give it to whomever I want!" Although Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed, he still stood up for his sister Xiaolian.
Old Mrs. Shen was too lazy to pay attention to her foolish son anymore; she looked at Widow Liu.
