Hearing this, Wang Meifen finally felt a little better. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? What will you all do if I leave? How could I be so heartless as to do such a thing? I will never remarry. I was born a member of the Wang family, and I will die a member of the Wang family. As for Jiabao, Laibao, and Genbao, they need to be properly disciplined. Petty theft is not acceptable; sooner or later they will cause serious trouble. I can't let things continue like this. We can't let them do this anymore. Before, they were too young, so it wasn't a big deal, but now they're older. If they get caught, it'll be a serious matter. And it won't be good for our family's reputation. How will they get married when they grow up?"
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Old Lady Wang felt extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't argue with her now. Her three children were such sensible people! How could they be wrong? It was all because the people in the compound were too stingy and had no compassion. She was already so pitiful, how could they have no sympathy at all and still be so petty?
Old Mrs. Wang sighed heavily and said, "It's all my fault for being so incompetent that I can't even feed the children properly. You are a good child, but unfortunately, you have a hard life. You can only wait until the children grow up, then your life will be better. Your life will definitely be better than mine then, considering you have three sons."
Upon hearing this, Wang Meifen smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right. I have three sons. How can I not care about them?" She had completely forgotten about disciplining her three sons; Aunt Wang had simply disappeared into the background.
Wang Meifen took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go soak those three boys' clothes first. If I leave them until tomorrow, they might not be usable."
Old Mrs. Wang: "Let me do it! You've been working all day."
Wang Meifen: "It's alright, I'll go get some water."
She went to work in the yard, and Old Lady Wang watched her figure with a smug smile. If she really wanted to, she would have been soaking in the bath while she was bathing her grandson.
Although this daughter-in-law is a bit foolish, once someone falls into her hands, no one can outsmart her!
She can't boss her daughter-in-law around like Aunt Zhu did; if she did, things would be over once she lost control. Her current strategy of retreating to advance is actually better.
Although Wang Meifen is an unfaithful and shameless woman, she is quite capable of bringing in money for the family. The children are still young and rely on her.
It's not so bad now. Once her three grandsons are grown up, she'll kick that slut who cheated on her son to the curb. But she still needs to plan ahead. Her great-grandchildren will need someone to take care of them, and she needs to take good care of herself too, since she'll be looking after them in the future!
The Zhu family wasn't so lucky. Although Aunt Zhu said she was going to the hospital last night, it was too late and she didn't go. Perhaps because of her age, the shock, and the chill, she developed a fever in the middle of the night and wasn't discovered until the next morning. Zhu Lin and his wife had to take leave from work and rush their mother to the hospital.
As soon as the doctor arrived at Grandma Zhu's house, he frowned and took two steps back from the stench. "Why do you smell a bit strange? You children don't even know to clean your elderly mother up."
Qin Fen, who came to help, quickly explained, "It's probably the smell of the cesspool. The old lady fell into the cesspool last night."
The doctor's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing this, while Zhu Lin's face turned as red as if an oil bottle had been spilled, feeling utterly ashamed. Lu Juan's face and neck were flushed red, and she could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhu's fever was due to her advanced age and the shock she had experienced; it subsided after an injection.
However, the matter is still unresolved because it was too late at the time. But even though it's not fully resolved, the people in the compound feel that it needs to be addressed.
Although given the current social situation, these are just a few kids who haven't stolen anything yet, so it's not really a case of them being arrested just because the police are called.
But to retaliate by pushing someone into a cesspool just because they were stopped from stealing is really going too far, especially since it was an old lady. Next time, will they push a child? So this needs to be addressed.
As Liu Yun predicted, the speed at which gossip spreads is beyond your imagination.
In the morning, everyone acted as usual, but after lunch, the office staff gathered around Liu Yun's desk, eager to know the details of last night's "battle in the toilet." However, they were disappointed; she didn't know the specifics either, as she hadn't gone out last night.
Yu Qian and Fu Yao had the same experience as Liu Yun, but they were disappointed to learn that neither of them had gone out last night. However, some people thought they were wise, since almost every household in the compound smelled the same thing all night.
After a day of fermentation, Liu Yun had learned the details of what happened from her colleagues. Although some of the accounts were exaggerated, they were still able to piece together the truth fairly accurately.
But the other people in the compound were different. As soon as they arrived at the factory, they told their coworkers about the great operation of the previous night. They told the story with great enthusiasm. Within an hour of starting work, 80 percent of the people in the factory knew about the toilet operation of the previous night. Even the gatekeeper was talking about it.
