When the neighbor, Old Mrs. Wang, heard the noise, she poked her head out of the door and stretched her neck to look.
When she saw that it was Jiang Xiachu who came back, she curled her lips and an expression of contempt immediately appeared on her face.
"How dare you come back? He Yiran was injured so badly. As her sister, why didn't you think of going over to check on her? You are such a heartless person."
“It’s no use hiding back home, you’ll be severely beaten soon.
"You little girl is so young, but you were so vicious that you even beat your sister into the hospital. She is your family's treasure. Your parents rushed over as soon as they received the news. Let's see how they deal with you when they come back."
Old Mrs. Wang is famous in the alley for her sharp and sarcastic words.
The words spoken are even more heart-wrenching.
Every sentence hints to Jiang Xiachu how unpopular she is in this family.
After scolding someone, Old Lady Wang was not done yet. She looked Jiang Xiachu up and down several times with a look as if she was weighing a piece of fat.
He sneered sarcastically, as if he had seen something very funny.
"She was plain-looking to begin with, and now she's disfigured, she looks even uglier."
"Hey, tell me the truth, are you jealous that your sister is prettier than you, so you deliberately hurt her?"
Jiang Xiachu pulled the key from the door and slowly pushed it open.
There was still no emotion on her pale face, but her tone was calm.
"No matter how ordinary I look, I am much better than your triangular eyes and broom-shaped eyebrows."
"Your grandson is as stupid as a pig, and he is fat and has big ears. If you have time to gossip here, you might as well go back and take care of your eldest grandson."
"To prevent someone from accidentally dragging him to the slaughterhouse one day."
Old Lady Wang’s eldest grandson was her precious life, and he was completely broken down by these few words.
His old face turned green with anger, but he couldn't think of a word to say in response.
Next to their two families was Mrs. Zhang, a well-known gossip in another alley.
Hearing that there was something exciting going on outside, she naturally didn't want to miss it.
Holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, he leaned on the door frame and witnessed the entire conflict.
As soon as Jiang Xiachu finished speaking, his eyes glanced over here indifferently.
Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she closed the door immediately.
"Oh my goodness, why didn't I know Jiang Xiachu was so sharp-tongued before?"
"Not only can Old Lady Wang not scold her with such a big mouth, even I am afraid of her."
It was not until Jiang Xiachu went in and closed the gate that Mrs. Zhang dared to stick her head out again and look around.
"Jiang Xiachu has returned to her room, right? I'm not saying anything, but she has such a bad personality."
"Auntie, no matter what, you are her elder. She actually dared to point at your nose and scold you. It's obvious that she doesn't take you seriously."
Because of Old Lady Wang's aggressive personality, she was the only one who was bullied in the alley.
I didn't expect that the first time I fell was because of a cheap girl who was neither loved by her father nor her mother.
Old Mrs. Wang couldn't hold it anymore, her face stretched longer than a donkey's.
"She's just a little girl, how can I be afraid of her?"
"If I wasn't too lazy to argue with a junior, I would have scolded her to the point of losing my mind."
Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, but she sneered in her heart, thinking that this old guy was only good at talking.
She looked at the tightly closed gate of the He family again, lowered her voice, and moved closer to Old Lady Wang and whispered to her.
"I heard that Jiang Xiachu and Chief Lu didn't get together. I don't know what was going on in her mind. She gave up such a good marriage and actually wanted to cancel the engagement."
Old Lady Wang got excited when she heard this: "What else can I think? This ugly girl must be giving up because she has lost her face."
"She knows that the Lu family will most likely not want her in her current state. She is afraid that when Chief Lu comes to cancel the engagement, she will be unable to hold her head up in front of the neighbors."
"That's why I decided to just go all out and bring it up myself."
Old Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang were whispering to each other, with no sympathy in their eyes, only ridicule.
Naturally, they don't like a girl like Jiang Xiachu who has no family protection.
"It's a good idea to cancel the engagement. Jiang Xiachu doesn't look that good in the first place, and she doesn't have any skills. She's just an ordinary person, and she's not worthy of Chief Lu at all."
"Brokening the engagement is like letting her go. Let Chief Lu marry a better girl."
After they had finished gossiping, they went back satisfied.
Jiang Xiachu, who had returned to the room at this time, took out a tattered backpack from the cabinet.
She originally wanted to pack up her things, but when she looked around, she realized that there was nothing worth taking.
From beginning to end, this family has basically no sense of existence.
A wire extended to the corner of the wall, with three towels of different colors neatly hung on it.
They snuggled up together and looked like a family.
Jiang Xiachu stood by for a while, bent down, and opened the cabinet under the washbasin.
He rummaged around in there for several minutes before pulling out his toiletries from the corner.
When she was at home, Jiang Hongyan never allowed her to put her things in public.
They said she was too sloppy and it would bring shame to the family if the neighbors saw her when they came to visit.
But this was not Jiang Xiachu's own will. Every time Jiang Hongyan bought toiletries, she would only think of buying new ones for He Yiran and the couple.
When it was Jiang Xiachu's turn, the only thing left was that her family had no money, so she had to put up with this kind of talk for the time being.
