Chapter 237 Untitled
"Bai Zhenzhu, you bitch! Fine, I'll divorce you! But give me back my money!"
The person who came was none other than Aunt Yan, Qin Weimin's ex-wife.
Aunt Yan and several of Qin's children had long been dissatisfied with Qin Weimin's wife spending her salary on Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter.
It's clearly their father's money, why should they let outsiders spend it?!
Previously, Qin Weimin, that sucker, was there to stop them. He was happy to let those wretched mother and daughter spend his money, so even if they wanted it, they couldn't do anything about it.
But things are different now!
Bai Zhenzhu herself said that she wanted to divorce Qin Weimin!
She has nothing to do with Qin Weimin anymore!
She must return the money she squeezed out of Qin Weimin!
Aunt Yan, abandoning her usual timid, silent, and virtuous demeanor, rushed out and began to berate Bai Zhenzhu: "Shameless slut, all you do is seduce men and spend money. You've emptied Lao Qin's pockets, and now that things have gone wrong, you want to run away! Dream on! If you know what's good for you, hurry up and return the money Lao Qin spent on you!"
"You little bitch, you just wait and see if you don't pay me back! Now nobody's protecting you!"
After saying that, she threatened, "I have three sons!"
Aunt Yan spoke with great pride, as if her three sons were standing behind her, supporting her.
Bai Zhenzhu had always looked down on this "defeated opponent," so naturally she didn't take her seriously at this moment either.
Hmph, so what if he has three sons? He's still all alone.
Three cowards, hiding in the house and expecting their mother to stand up for them, what a bunch of spineless cowards!
Want more money? Dream on!
Even if the money hadn't been spent, let alone the money that was already in her white pearl pocket, she still wanted to get it back?
When has she ever been afraid?
Bai Zhenzhu smiled gently and spoke softly, but what she said was infuriating: "Sister, what you're saying is really unreasonable. Qin and I are married, so we're a couple, a family. His money is my money. What's wrong with me spending my own money? That's called marital property, you know?"
"Oh, I forgot that you haven't gone to school, so I suppose you wouldn't understand."
Bai Zhenzhu covered her mouth and gave a half-hearted smile; the sarcasm in her words was clear to anyone.
The neighbors opened their mouths, their gazes towards Bai Zhenzhu filled with complex emotions.
The guys who idolize her are just thinking, "Damn it! My goddess is so kind and generous. She can be so gentle and kind even when dealing with shrewish women who insult her, without getting angry at all. She's so kind, so incredibly kind."
Alas, kind people are always the ones who suffer losses.
The women in the courtyard, however, had a different opinion.
These older women and young wives already looked down on Bai Zhenzhu, this old white lotus who rose to power as a mistress. Now that this has happened, they feel that she is getting a good deal and acting innocent. As a mistress, she dares to jump around in front of the original wife and even mock her. She is really shameless!
Although they didn't show it on their faces, they were all secretly cursing her in their hearts, wondering how long she could remain so arrogant.
Cheng Jiajia watched intently.
Holy crap! Is this some kind of mistress shoving herself right in front of the wife?!
Back then, Qin Weimin often complained that Aunt Yan only knew about firewood and cooking, and that he had nothing in common with her, which is why he cheated on her. Even Cheng Jiajia, who works at the Second Hospital, had heard Qin Weimin scold and complain about Aunt Yan several times. He showed absolutely no respect for his wife and the mother of his children.
Isn't Bai Zhenzhu's statement just rubbing salt in the wound and playing on someone's sore spot?
Tsk tsk tsk, this woman is truly indescribable.
It's obvious she's afraid of being implicated and wants to sever ties with Qin Weimin. You'd think she wasn't decisive, but the moment she learned of Qin Weimin's accident, she said she wanted to cut ties with him and divorce him. You'd think she was decisive, right? Yet, her words subtly try to put down Aunt Yan and highlight her own sense of superiority.
Cheng Jiajia was also confused. At this critical moment, shouldn't the important thing be to quickly sever ties with the man surnamed Qin?
They're not afraid of pushing people too far and making them do something drastic.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Aunt Yan, who is no rabbit.
Yu Junsheng had already noticed something was wrong with Aunt Yan's side, and with great foresight, he pulled Cheng Jiajia to a more secluded spot.
"Honey, let's move away. There's bound to be a fight here soon, it's dangerous."
Cheng Jiajia guessed correctly. Aunt Yan was trembling with anger, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at Bai Zhenzhu as if she wanted to skin her alive.
That bitch! Is that bitch mocking her for being uncultured?!
This statement hit Aunt Yan's sore spot perfectly.
You know, Qin Weimin, that old man, always complained about his lack of education at home, and that's why he found a mistress outside!
That bitch Bai Zhenzhu actually used this to mock me in public!
She did it on purpose! She absolutely did it on purpose!
How dare she?!
But Bai Zhenzhu wasn't finished yet. She frowned slightly at Aunt Yan, whose face was turning ashen with anger, and said, "Sister, what makes you think you're asking for money today? Old Qin's ex-wife? Sigh, it's not that I'm being mean, but sister, you shouldn't be so possessive of other people's money."
"After all, there are so many rich people. You can't just be envious and try to steal their money, can you?"
At this point, as if recalling something amusing, she glanced meaningfully at Aunt Yan, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "That won't do. Robbing is illegal. Sister, you don't want to be arrested by the police at your age and sent to a labor camp to keep Old Qin company, do you? Hehe..."
That smug look of his is truly unbearable to watch.
The older women and young wives in the courtyard couldn't stand it anymore. "Bai Zhenzhu, aren't you going too far? If it weren't for your meddling, Aunt Yan and Lao Qin wouldn't have divorced. Lao Qin's money now belongs to Aunt Yan and her children. It's a bit far-fetched for her to ask you for money now, but it's not your place to make sarcastic remarks."
"And who do you think you are if you can't understand? You're even implying that Aunt Yan is uneducated? You think you're the only one who's been to school, Bai Zhenzhu?"
"There are many women in our compound who have never been to school. That's a result of the times and the way things were, not their fault."
"You are lucky to be able to study, not the reason you have the confidence to mock and laugh at others."
These words resonated with the majority of the women present.
Many of them did not receive much education because of poor family conditions or the preference for sons over daughters, but this does not mean they are stupid; it simply means that the times and the world did not provide them with the opportunity to study.
This is not a reason for others to mock them.
They felt quite uncomfortable listening to Bai Zhenzhu's mockery of Aunt Yan.
If one has the opportunity to study, who would choose not to?
An older woman retorted, "You, Bai Zhenzhu, are just lucky; you've read a few more books than us. What gives you such a sense of superiority?"
"That's right, if I had gone to school back then, my knowledge might not have been any worse than yours!"
"Of course! What do you have to be so proud of!"
"You stole someone else's man and you still think you're right?"
"I think she has a problem with her ideology! Make her hang up her tattered shoes and parade her through the streets, then she'll behave!"
These women took turns criticizing Bai Zhenzhu.
Those grown men who had just thought Bai Zhenzhu was a goddess now cowered like turtles, not daring to utter a sound.
I dared not make a sound, not even a peep.
They were terrified that if they uttered a sound, these angry old women would beat them to death.
At this moment, Aunt Cao asked suspiciously, "Bai Zhenzhu, I remember you also came here to seek refuge with relatives after fleeing famine, which is why you stayed in Beicheng. Your family is from the countryside. In those days, did they have the means to send you to school?"
Although she could read, she just couldn't stand Bai Zhenzhu's smugness. You could say that no wife could stand a mistress like that.
Then, Aunt Cao did recall some things from her early years and raised a question.
"That's right. Back then, she and Bai Xiaohui and her daughter were like beggars. She said that her husband hadn't survived the famine, leaving them, a widow and her child, as orphans. The neighborhood committee saw how difficult their situation was and arranged a job for her, which is how the mother and daughter were able to settle down and live in our area."
"Yes, yes, I remember she did say she came from a rural area in Jiangxi Province."
Bai Zhenzhu lived in the No. 35 compound quite early, so the people who moved in later didn't really know her background. They were quite surprised to hear for the first time that Bai Zhenzhu came from the countryside.
"That doesn't seem right. The way they act doesn't seem like they come from a poor family."
Everyone looked at Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter Bai Xiaohui in surprise.
I was genuinely surprised.
To anyone who looks at them, this mother and daughter don't seem like people from the countryside.
We're all old neighbors, everyone knows each other. Bai Xiaohui is one thing, she was young and immature back then, but everyone knows exactly what kind of person Bai Zhenzhu has been all these years. She really doesn't act like a country person.
Someone said, "Could there be something wrong with the ingredients?"
The crowd's suspicious gazes immediately fell on Bai Zhenzhu, scrutinizing her more than usual.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, what other girls in the countryside could still go to school besides daughters of landlords?
Could it be that Bai Zhenzhu is some landlord's daughter who ran away and had her composition changed?
This thought flashed through everyone's minds.
But Cheng Jiajia felt it didn't seem like it. Why? Because Bai Zhenzhu's behavior really didn't seem like that of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Girls raised in luxury would never do something like exchanging their bodies for money and resources.
Yu Junsheng's eyes flashed. He remembered that the Bai family's house seemed to be owned by them, unlike other people who were just renting houses and the property rights were still held by the factory.
In those days, buying two houses, one large and one small, was no easy feat.
