Everyone feels sorry for Zhao Yanling, this single mother. She raises two daughters on her own, which is very difficult, and she has almost no social life.
So the strangeness of today's incident has led many neighbors to spontaneously go to the police station to testify for her. Some even suggested that someone go to the cannery to investigate. If there are no problems during her working hours and neighbors can testify when she returns home, then this distortion of facts and malicious framing can be established.
In particular, there is no man named Zhang Long in Zhao Yanling's life. Shouldn't these old women provide evidence before they falsely accuse others?
Several women were now trembling with fear, and they all looked at the woman in the lead. Although her face had turned pale, she remained stubborn and refused to tell the truth.
It wasn't until Zhao Yanling told the children what she had to say that the children were angrily speaking ill of their grandmother, recounting how their grandmother had disliked them even before their father died, how their uncle was a good-for-nothing who took over their father's job, and how their aunt died in childbirth and he couldn't find a wife, which is why he had set his sights on their mother, that the woman finally couldn't hold back and told the truth.
She even turned around and knelt down before Zhao Yanling.
"Yanling, I am a relative of your mother-in-law's family. She promised us benefits so that we could ruin your reputation."
You can't really send me to the police station, you know. Didn't you just call me back?
Why don't we just let this matter go? After all, we're relatives.
Don't let things get too tense, or your mother-in-law might come up with even harsher tactics to deal with you.
Good grief, is this an apology? This is clearly a threat.
Fortunately, Zhao Yanling was clear-headed enough to ignore the woman completely.
"Officer, let's go. I've already told my family what to do."
She completely ignored the woman kneeling behind her.
“They first insulted me, then beat me, and I sued them all for the behind-the-scenes instigation mentioned in her testimony.”
I refuse to believe that there is no place for reason in this world.
It's already hard enough for me to live alone with my daughter, and they still won't let me off the hook.
This family is like bloodsucking leeches; once they cling to you, they won't let go until they've sucked enough blood and flesh.
I avoid such families like the plague, and I'll sue them every time I encounter one.
Before she comes up with any more insidious tricks to deal with me, let's get through this first!
Before her husband died, she had someone to protect her; even if she was a little weak, at least her family was intact.
After her husband's death, Zhao Lingli experienced the harsh realities of life and the complexities of human nature. To provide her daughters with a safe haven, she was no longer the weak, indecisive, and self-conscious woman she once was. For her daughters' sake, she became strong.
She finally had a few days of peace and quiet, but some people couldn't stand to see her doing well and went around ruining her reputation.
"This isn't the first time she's done this to me. I'm already familiar with her tricks. If it weren't for her youngest son's terrible reputation, she would have tried every means to get me to go back."
When she kicked me out, she seemed to have gained the tangible property of my husband and me, as well as my husband's job, but she lost something called potential reputation.
This reputation suddenly became apparent after my sister-in-law died in childbirth. I ask you, if anyone knew her character, knew how her family handled the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and how they treated their daughter-in-law, would anyone still marry their daughter into the family?
"Given any other choice, no one would choose to belittle their daughter. I believe there are families who would abandon their daughters for money, but they haven't met them. They're the kind of people who are incredibly stingy; they deserve to be unable to find a cheap and easy-to-manage daughter-in-law."
After saying this, Zhao Yanling left with the police. The women who had been so arrogant just moments before realized they had messed up. Seeing that Zhao Yanling was not easy to talk to, they all glared at the woman in the lead.
"Let's get this straight: this was your idea. If we really end up in jail and you don't find a way to get us out, then you can expect my husband and son to come after your family and start a fight!"
Zhao Yanling, who was in front, heard this and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Very good, the infighting has started. That's it. Let them argue and make a scene, the bigger the better. Let's see how that black-hearted old woman handles it this time."
Birds of a feather flock together; each one is more difficult and demanding than the last. Let's see how you manage to get out of this mess!
After Zhao Yanling and the others left, the courtyard returned to its tranquility. Everyone comforted her two daughters and invited them over for dinner that evening.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle and Aunt. We have everything we need at home, and we can cook. Mom will come back; we'll wait for her."
What a sweet and considerate daughter!
What were you daydreaming about?! Did you have a good New Year?
After Yuan Yuan came to her senses, Xiao Jiu patted her on the shoulder.
Yuan Yuan gently shook her head. "I secretly went home before the New Year and found out that my aunt had been beaten and miscarried and was hospitalized."
The victim in what just happened was my mother, and the people who hit me were my grandmother and my aunt. Now that karma has come back to bite me, I actually feel a little relieved.
Did you know? She will never be able to have children again. She suffered severe bleeding, had her uterus removed, and almost lost her life.
Now everyone looks like an abuser to me, and I hate my grandma so much I could vomit blood.
This was the first time I'd ever seen her so terrifying, but so what? She deserved it!
"This is the first time in so many years that I've had a New Year where I could sleep in until I naturally woke up and eat to my heart's content."
Although there's no fancy food or meat, this is the life I want!
My mother can finally rest in peace now.
Seeing the slight curve at the corner of her mouth, Xiao Jiu knew that she must have completely let go of her hatred for the past.
"Congratulations on your Yuanyuan! Just hang in there for a few more months, and once you get into university, your life will be completely fulfilled."
Although Cuiju had already asked her to help her ask for leave, Xiaojiu brought it up again.
"By the way, tell Weiwei and the others to take good notes. I need them to help me catch up on the lessons I've missed."
"Okay, no problem, don't worry. But I heard that classes will be combined this semester, and your class has quite a lot of people."
Actually, some teachers had already brought this up last semester, since there are only a dozen or so students in each class now.
However, due to the different paces and levels of each class, only Class 4 and Class 5 were merged last semester.
The remaining three classes are unsure how to allocate resources. Class 1 is the best, Class 2 is next, and so on.
If it weren't for the degree of influence, they probably would have merged long ago.
Zhou Shengnan had attended classes for a month or two before the Lunar New Year, and it was unclear whether things would change on her end after the winter break.
"Xiao Jiu, Grandma Weng wants to invite you over!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yue came to the door and called out. Xiao Jiu came to her senses and saw that Grandma Weng was waving at her.
"Okay, Yue-ge, sit down for a while. There are newspapers over there. Read them first, and when I get back, we'll get ready to make dumplings."
But she was wondering why the two old people wanted to see her. Could it be that they had run out of food?
If you count the days, it shouldn't be like this. The last time we resupplyed them, we could at least eat until the end of the month.
