"Why look for passersby? Let me take a look..."
A very stylish auntie, dressed in a light brown dress and mid-calf boots, walked gracefully into the courtyard.
The aunt was just over fifty years old. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled Gu Chengfeng's somewhat. Her face was shiny and bright, and she looked both radiant and modern.
This outfit was a celebrity style in the 1980s; it would make you stand out on the street.
What's more, this aunt was particularly tall and had an elegant posture, so she must have studied dance or something similar. In short, she had an outstanding temperament.
"This is……"
Her intuition told her that this person was a relative of Gu Chengfeng, but which one exactly?
Gu Chengfeng naturally took Shen Sisi's hand and led her to the woman.
"Sisi, this is my aunt, Gu Changmei, the head of the provincial cultural troupe."
Shen Sisi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This is Gu Chengfeng's aunt! She looks so young!"
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was his sister.
He paused, then said in a very solemn tone, "Sister-in-law, this is my newlywed wife—Shen Sisi."
"Sisi...she's really pretty..." Gu Changmei liked Shen Sisi the moment she saw her: "Her looks are no less than the leading lady of our performing arts troupe..."
"Auntie, you flatter me."
"Really..." Gu Changmei said with a look of regret, "If I had met you earlier, I would definitely have recruited you into the troupe and given you special training!"
Speaking of this, Chen Sisi suddenly seemed lost in thought.
She had the opportunity to join the performing arts troupe back then.
Her mother suddenly fell critically ill, causing her to miss the audition for the performing arts troupe. From then on, her life circumstances changed completely.
This spot was something her mother had worked hard to secure for her, but in the end, it went to Chen Ting, who took her place in the interview.
Actually... she's not bad either.
She plays the violin very well and sings quite well too.
If she had seized the opportunity back then, she would definitely have passed the assessment and shone brightly on stage.
Unfortunately... man proposes, God disposes.
A wave of bitterness washed over Shen Sisi, but she forced back her disappointment and said, "Auntie, please come inside and sit down!"
“Okay…” Gu Changmei agreed verbally, but actually stood at the doorway, standing in front of Xu Hongying: “Sister-in-law, it’s been a long time.”
When Xu Hongying saw her, she became much more docile, like a mouse seeing a cat.
What brings you here?
Gu Changmei smiled sweetly: "What, are you not welcoming me?"
"Such a big thing happened in the family, shouldn't I, as the aunt, come and see?"
"Besides, Chengfeng invited me here specifically to discuss the wedding arrangements."
"You, as a mother, are really useless. You can't even manage a wedding, and you still have to rely on me..."
Xu Hongying was so silenced by Gu Chengfeng's barrage of questions that she didn't dare to utter a word, and glared at him reproachfully.
"What, you think you can scare Chengfeng in front of me?"
Gu Changmei has the image of a beautiful mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Fine, grandma, I can't afford to offend you..."
Gu Changmei, as if she had won a battle, smirked triumphantly: "By the way, didn't you ask someone to look at this? I'll look at it for you..."
She snatched the apology letter from Shen Sisi's hand, glanced at it briefly, and her expression immediately changed.
She gripped the letter tightly, her fingers almost piercing through the back of the paper.
"These gossipy women actually dared to spread lewd rumors about Sisi!"
"What did you say? Huang Yao?" Xu Hongying was shocked.
As a woman herself, she certainly understood how serious it was to be the subject of fabricated rumors.
Gu Changmei's voice trembled with anger: "Sister-in-law, can't you at least learn to read at home? It's written here in black and white, what... Yang Qiuxia and another one named Zhang Xiuhong, they conspired to spread rumors about Sisi, saying that she has a lover outside!"
"Such a thing is happening..." Xu Hongying's eyes also turned red with anxiety: "What exactly happened?"
Mentioning this matter made Shen Sisi feel nauseous: "Gu Chengfeng, you tell me, so you won't accuse me of exaggerating or distorting the truth."
Gu Chengfeng nodded, and with a dark face, he recounted the whole story.
After hearing the whole story, Xu Hongying and Gu Changmei were so angry they were practically fuming.
Chen Sisi is new here and hasn't offended anyone, yet she's been unfairly accused of such a serious offense.
This is intolerable!
Their eyes were blazing with anger, which they could barely contain.
"I don't want those shameless gossips, I'll tear them apart..."
Xu Hongying curses without any regard for others; what is manners? It doesn't exist in her dictionary!
Gu Changmei was also furious, and fine lines appeared on her well-maintained face from anger: "This is too much! Do you think you can bully the Gu family because you think we have no one to rely on? This is not over!"
The aunt was furious, but Chen Sisi was not surprised at all.
Xu Hongying, on the other hand, was unusually aggressive.
"Yes, I admit it, I really don't like you. What mother would be willing to watch her son marry an unmarried woman with a child? Isn't that like jumping into a fire pit?"
"My dislike for you is a private family matter. She's an outsider, what right does she have to bully you?"
Xu Hongying is quite hypocritical, and she even justifies it.
"I was wronged on the black market today and felt incredibly aggrieved, let alone spreading rumors. I might actually jump into the river..."
"Those two heartless bastards... they're using your reputation to cause trouble, I curse their ancestors for eight generations!"
"Especially that Yang Qiuxia, she dared to lie to me, took advantage of my illiteracy, and encouraged me to steal the apology letter. I won't let her get away with this!"
Xu Hongying is like a firecracker, unleashing a torrent of profanities.
To be honest, it was actually quite satisfying to hear.
Shen Sisi initially thought she was just making a fuss and cursing behind closed doors, since she had been as weak as a quail in the black market earlier.
Unexpectedly, she acted immediately, quickly walked into the yard, grabbed a brush for cleaning chicken droppings, and rushed out aggressively.
Before the group could react, she had vanished.
Soon, from the apartment two doors down, there was a frantic banging on the door.
"Yang Qiuxia, come out here..."
Yang Qiuxia was having lunch, holding a rice bowl in her hand, and walked out of the yard with a smile: "Aunt Hongying..."
With a fawning smile still on his face, he shoved the filthy brush into her mouth.
His steady, precise, and ruthless technique, along with his lightning-fast speed, caught her completely off guard.
Her mouth was instantly filled with a strange taste, and she vomited with a loud groan.
"What is this... yue..."
It had a weird smell; it was incredibly disgusting.
What devastated her even more was that she had just swallowed a tiny bit of it.
"What? It's your kind of filthy mouth! You spewing filth, how dare you spread rumors about my daughter-in-law, and you even dared to set your sights on me."
"What, do you think I look like an idiot?"
"Dare to mess with me? I'll beat you until you're covered in shit, and I'll make sure you read my name backwards!"
After Xu Hongying finished speaking, she picked up the brush and shoved it into her face, giving her a second blow.
"Eat your shit..."
Yang Qiuxia's eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. This...this was actually excrement!!!
She smelled the pungent, fishy odor... was it chicken droppings?
