San Niu burst into tears, frightened by Shu Ying's cold gaze, and Zhao Lijuan quickly went to comfort her.
"You've always acted like a capitalist, so what evidence do you need? Don't think that saying all this useless stuff will wash away your stain. No wonder the kid is so arrogant and domineering; it turns out that the upper beam is crooked, so the lower beam is crooked too."
Shu Ying was amused and annoyed; she was quite adept at playing the victim.
"You say that evidence isn't needed, then I'll say that you're also a capitalist. If everyone is free to speak without responsibility, how many people would be wrongly accused and die?"
Shu Ying stared intently at Zhao Lijuan. "I heard on my very first day back here that you had designs on my husband. That was so many years ago that I didn't take it to heart. But if I don't care about evidence, I'm going to say that you seduced my husband, that you wanted to destroy my family, and that you are a criminal who ruined military marriages."
Those are all old, trivial matters. On their wedding night, Xie Zhiyan didn't want any misunderstandings between them over trivial things, so he told her everything that seemed a little off.
Shu Ying didn't want to bring up the past and wanted to give the two adults some face, but Zhao Lijuan was too aggressive, and those past events became a sharp sword in her hand.
The people around Zhao Lijuan looked at her strangely. Some of the older women who had been there longer knew about these things, but when Shu Ying brought them up, the fig leaf that had been hidden by the peaceful life was torn off.
Zhao Lijuan blushed with anger and frustration. "You, you're clearly talking nonsense. You need to provide evidence. My husband and I are doing great."
Shu Ying's eyes held a hint of sarcasm. "Why do you need evidence to speak for me? When you slandered me, you didn't have any witnesses or physical evidence. Everyone speaks with their mouths. Do you think you're the only one who can talk a good game?"
Junjun was too young to understand these things, and he was completely unaware of the subtle power struggles between the adults. He just kept lying in the sandpit, rolling around wildly.
"They ruined my Great Wall! They're despicable capitalists! They're going to go to the countryside to collect cow dung! Mom, tell Dad to beat them to death!"
Li Meng looked at Shu Ying with some embarrassment, trying to pull the child out of the sandpit.
"Jun Jun, be good. The little boy didn't do it on purpose. Let's go home first, okay? Mommy will go home and get you some candy."
Junjun cried his heart out, “Mom is a bad person, I don’t want to eat candy, I want them to match my Great Wall.”
He rolled around in the sandpit, crying and screaming at the top of his lungs, which annoyed several parents nearby.
Li Meng could only try to pull the child up, but a three-year-old child can be incredibly stubborn and strong; it's not something a woman can hold down.
Li Meng blushed with shame. She didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Zhao Lijuan and Shu Ying. Everyone in the compound lived their lives peacefully and quietly, without forming cliques, in order to live a good life.
But the child is young and has clearly been used as a pawn. And now, Shu Ying has the upper hand, making the crying child the target of everyone's anger.
When Gu Hao returned from training, he saw a crowd gathered on the playground. Hearing his son crying from afar, he rushed over.
Here were his wife and children, and standing in front of him were Shu Ying and their two children. He asked Li Dongfang, the only person he could talk to, and learned the whole story. He then lifted Junjun up with one hand.
"Apologize to them!"
