Thinking about it more deeply, in terms of looks and temperament, none of the girls Yang Zinuo knew could compare to Shen Jingyan.
Her beauty is radiant even without makeup.
When it comes to cooking skills, Yang Zinuo was already won over by that bowl of stewed chicken with potatoes.
Such excellent cooking skills are comparable to those of the head chef of a state-run hotel!
In terms of personality, Chen Jingyan is very different from before. She is no longer the timid and weak woman who only knows how to cry.
She is strong, decisive, and courageous. She not only has the ability to live independently, but also dares to fight head-on against the unreasonable Chen Feng and her daughter.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Jingyan's configuration in all aspects is actually top-notch!
Isn't this the adorable little wife that every man in the world dreams of?
Old Gu, you're really something! Not only is your mouth sharp, but your eyes are too!
"Did you find her? Who can compare to Jingya?"
Even after Gu Zhiyun finished washing his feet, Yang Zinuo remained in a daze, her mouth agape.
Yang Zinuo was speechless, mumbled a couple of sentences, and then buried his head under the covers.
...
The inspection team conducted a three-day investigation into Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin, visiting extensively in the village and collecting evidence. The work process was very rigorous.
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin already had a bad reputation in the village, and Chen Feng's sharp tongue, which always seemed to be in the right, offended many neighbors.
As if they were venting their anger, the villagers rushed to report and expose Chen Feng's various misdeeds, especially her abuse of Shen Jingyan, which were all made public.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is usually a lively time for villagers to watch a grand opera in the square.
However, the main play was canceled and replaced with a "Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin Criticism Meeting".
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin were forced to wear tall, pointed hats and escorted to the meeting by the inspection team.
The brigade leader, Sun Xiuyi, was filled with indignation and criticized the mother and daughter, exposing all the outrageous things they had done.
The villagers who came to watch the spectacle were huge, each carrying a small stool and with sunflower seeds and peanuts in their pockets, all of them proper onlookers.
Chen Feng and her daughter were detained for four consecutive nights. They were disheveled, listless, and hung their heads during the criticism sessions, not daring to look up at the pairs of condemning eyes.
"Karma in this life, it really is karma in this life! This mother and daughter should have been criticized and denounced long ago!"
"For Chen Feng asking Granny Zhao for five hundred yuan and selling Jingya to the idiot, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to send her to jail for two years!"
"I heard she also embezzled a hundred yuan from Granny Zhao. When Granny Zhao came to her door, it was Jingya who returned it. Such a good girl, how could she beat and scold her like that!"
"Her daughter is just like her, neither of them are good people. I heard she's having an affair with a young educated youth from the forest farm and even dreams of marrying a city man. What a pipe dream!"
The villagers watched the spectacle while chattering amongst themselves.
Chen Jingyan sat in the corner, coldly watching Chen Feng and her daughter being scorned by thousands, without a trace of sympathy.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Shen Honggang, who was hunched over, hiding in the crowd, looking dejected.
Although he had personally agreed to let the inspection team investigate Chen Feng and her daughter, how could he feel good seeing his wife and daughter being criticized and denounced?
The denunciation lasted all morning, and everyone was still enjoying it.
Everyone felt that Chen Feng and her daughter deserved what they got, except for themselves.
After the morning's criticism session, the two were locked in a cowshed in the afternoon and only released after dark.
Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin returned home covered in the stench of cow dung, looking disheveled.
As soon as I got home, I smelled the aroma of hot food.
Shen Hong had prepared a sumptuous dinner, including sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage, pork and cabbage dumplings, and for the first time ever, he spent a huge sum of money to buy a pound of braised beef.
Seeing Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin enter the room, he said in a gentle tone, "Wash your hands, wash your face, change your clothes and have dinner."
Anzi, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait to start eating.
Shen Honggang's amiable demeanor surprised Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin.
The two men were stunned for a moment, staring straight at Shen Honggang.
Shen Honggang had no intention of blaming the two women, because he felt that they had suffered enough after being criticized and denounced for a day.
"The past is the past. From now on, turn over a new leaf, live a good life, and stop making things difficult for Jingya."
The name "Jingya" was like a spark that ignited a powder keg, instantly making Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin irritable.
"Dad, what exactly do you mean? Mom and I have suffered so much, and it's all because of that little bitch! And you're still taking her side. Am I even your real daughter?"
Shen Yuqin screamed hysterically.
Today, when she and Chen Feng were being criticized and denounced, she clearly saw Shen Jingyan sitting below the meeting, looking at her with eyes full of schadenfreude.
She couldn't understand why everyone liked, protected, and spoke up for a vixen who seduced her blind date!
She smashed a few windows just to vent her anger, didn't she?
Why did he become an object of universal contempt?
What did she do wrong?
Is it right to just let such an excellent blind date slip away?
Chen Feng was even angrier than Shen Yuqin. Before Shen Yuqin could finish speaking, she started berating Shen Honggang:
"Shen Honggang, I don't think you care about me and Yuqin at all. That little bitch Shen Jingyan is a jinx! If she hadn't been so attention-seeking, would my Yuqin have suffered so much? If you don't break off your relationship with that little bitch, I'll take Yuqin back to her parents' home and never come back. You can be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
