Before she could finish speaking and before Gu Changzheng could answer, a sweet voice rang out from behind the half-closed courtyard gate.
"Perhaps you are the mother of that shameless daughter?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Huaijiao walked out from inside with a smile.
She was wearing a black high-waisted dress with a bubble skirt design, which made her, who wasn't very tall to begin with, appear taller and more slender.
The fitted waistline made her waist look even more slender.
Her long hair was draped over her back, with one side of her black hair clipped behind her ear and the other side clipped with a leaf-shaped hair clip adorned with small pearls.
She wasn't wearing makeup, just a light touch of lipstick, which made her already rosy lips even more vibrant.
She wore a pair of slightly heeled leather shoes, revealing skin as white as snow, and her exquisite features made it impossible to look away.
Gu Changzheng, who had been indifferent, turned around and walked over after hearing his wife's words.
"Jiaojiao, why are you out here?"
She didn't like noise, so he didn't want her to come out.
Lu Huaijiao glanced sideways at the man beside her.
"If I don't come out, am I just supposed to stand by and watch others bully my man?"
The tone was unfriendly.
Coupled with her haughty little expression, it was enough for everyone present who didn't know her to know that she was a spoiled and unruly person.
That was the thought in Hu Meiyu's mind.
Many of the other women present couldn't help but think that Lu Huaijiao was far too spoiled. With such a handsome and capable husband, instead of treating him with tenderness and care, she was constantly throwing tantrums.
Isn't she afraid that Gu Changzheng will abandon her?
On the contrary, some of the male comrades present were more open-minded than the female comrades.
Just kidding! If their wives were that beautiful, even if they were incredibly spoiled, they'd still pamper them with a smile! It's just that their partners aren't pretty enough, so they don't have that much patience.
Many of these people felt that Gu Changzheng's actions were not worthwhile.
But their indifference was irrelevant to Gu Changzheng. In their eyes, this spoiled and troublesome girl was everything to Gu Changzheng.
This is probably a case of one man's poison being another man's honey.
The onlookers had all sorts of thoughts, but they didn't voice them, and Gu Changzheng and the others didn't pay any attention to them or deliberately scrutinize them.
But Hu Meiyu couldn't help but say it.
"You are Gu Changzheng's wife?"
She stared at Lu Huaijiao, looking her up and down. She had to admit that, from an outsider's perspective, Lu Huaijiao was indeed so beautiful that even someone as old as her was jealous.
She exudes just the right amount of charm from head to toe, down to the last strand of her hair.
Those unaware of the true situation might be attracted to Lu Huaijiao, but to Hu Meiyu, Lu Huaijiao's current respectable appearance is nothing more than a facade built on Gu Changzheng's hard-earned money.
A girl from the countryside dresses more like a city person than city people. What else could this be but vanity and wealth?
Hu Meiyu had seen many women like this.
She relies on her youth and beauty to bewitch men, but when she meets someone with better conditions, she will definitely not hesitate to abandon her original wife.
Hu Meiyu felt that she had seen through Lu Huaijiao's true nature.
She took a step forward and asked in a calm tone, "How much?"
Lu Huaijiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
"How much money would it take for you to divorce your man and set him free?"
Hu Meiyu added.
Those around gasped.
Good heavens, this person comes in and tries to break up someone else's marriage right off the bat? Is there anyone that malicious?
The neighbors in the alley who initially thought Hu Meiyu was quite pitiful now think she deserved her fate. As the saying goes, "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."
Her attempt to break up the young couple right off the bat was truly appalling.
Before anyone around her could even begin to criticize Hu Meiyu, He Meizhu, who had overheard the conversation from outside the crowd, couldn't hold back any longer. She pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, rolled up her sleeves, and launched into a tirade against Hu Meiyu.
"What kind of stray dog was barking at my doorstep? It's you, you blind fool! What, who do you think you are? The King of Heaven himself? You come here and tell my son and his wife to get a divorce? Have you no shame? You want to be my daughter-in-law, you old geezer?"
He Meizhu's fierceness was well-known in Dawan Village.
What sets her apart from Zhao Chunhua and her group is that she's a reasonable person. But when it comes to shrewish behavior like yelling and cursing or pulling hair and fighting, He Meizhu is just as capable.
Sure enough, as soon as she came out, she made Hu Meiyu blush with embarrassment with just a few words.
"You...you...you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? You shameless old man, do you think you can bully our Jiaojiao just because she's young, kind-hearted, and thin-skinned?"
"Pah! You old fool, have you no shame? You think you can meddle in other people's business just because you're dressed like a respectable person? You even want Jiaojiao to divorce my fourth son? Do you want to marry Gu Jianhua and become my fourth son's stepmother, or do you want to take Jiaojiao's place and become my daughter-in-law?"
"Hmph, let me tell you, no matter which one it is, you can forget about it, not a chance!"
He Meizhu's output is never inferior!
"You...are unreasonable!"
Hu Meiyu's face turned a deep liver color.
He Meizhu's cursing words came out like a skilled shopkeeper turning an abacus, flowing out in one breath without a single pause.
Hu Meiyu was no match for He Meizhu.
Even so, He Meizhu had no intention of letting her go.
"Old man, have some shame. Your parents raised you all these years, not so you could destroy other people's families."
Hu Meiyu was so angry that she almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, her close friends came to her aid in time, preventing Hu Meiyu from falling directly to the ground.
Two people helped Hu Meiyu to the side to rest for a while, so she could catch her breath and not die of anger, while the other two women stood in front of He Meizhu.
One of the women, who looked quite frail, spoke first.
"Ma'am, please don't get so angry. There's been a misunderstanding."
Another quickly chimed in, "Yes, there's a misunderstanding here."
What did my mom misunderstand?
Lu Huaijiao, with a faint smile on her face, walked over to He Meizhu's side, took He Meizhu's arm, and looked at the two opposite her with her eyes crinkled.
"Two aunties, tell me, what did my mom misunderstand about that lady? Could it be that she's not interested in my husband or my dad, but in my son? And wants to be my daughter-in-law?"
