As Shen Chuntao walked, she talked to Su Qingci about Tang Liping's actions that day.
"Qingci, do you and Tang Liping have some kind of conflict?"
"I think what she said was deliberately meant to mislead everyone."
"That's all encouraging everyone to attack you."
"That little slut is ruthless; you'd better be careful of her."
"Don't be fooled by her smiling, innocent appearance all the time; she's wicked behind the scenes."
"If you haven't offended her in private, then she's definitely just jealous that you got a good job."
"Be careful during this time; none of those scoundrels are any good."
"It's filthy and smelly; it'll bring bad luck to us women if we get involved with it."
"You'll see what happened to me. I've been there, so listen to me, you won't go wrong."
Shen Chuntao anxiously advised Su Qingci.
Su Qingci nodded as she pondered Tang Liping.
Are there really people born this evil? Would they destroy someone just because they're jealous?
She remembered that Tang Liping had also come from Kyoto.
Did she know me before?
Because of Shen Chuntao's reminder.
Su Qingci began to notice Tang Liping, who was practically invisible, within the educated youth settlement.
Sure enough, after paying special attention, Su Qingci felt the other person's gaze linger on her several times.
She turned around abruptly and met the other person's gaze, who immediately pretended to look away unintentionally.
But Su Qingci still saw a hint of malice in those flustered, averted eyes.
She was with herself...
Su Qingci recalled Tang Liping's background and the phone call Su Meifang had received back then.
Could she have a relationship with Qin Xiangxiang and Su Meifang?
With suspicions in her mind, Su Qingci began to chat with Tang Liping as if it were nothing.
"Tang Zhiqing, I heard you say last time that you were also from the Changlang District?"
"So you also graduated from Changlang No. 3 Middle School?"
Tang Liping paused in her hand as she was washing clothes. Had she ever mentioned that she was from the Long Corridor District?
Thinking back to when I was trying to get closer to the other person a while ago, I wondered if I had let something slip back then.
"No, I graduated from Shangxian Junior High School."
A sharp glint flashed in Su Qingci's eyes; she was indeed from the same school as Su Meifang.
No wonder Grandma wrote a letter specifically to warn me to be careful.
Even the parents' names were changed.
This Qin Xiangxiang family is really relentless.
Even though I've hidden myself in such a remote place, they still managed to reach out.
Based on her understanding of Su Meifang, she knew that the other party must want her to stay in the countryside forever, with no chance of ever returning to the city.
A dark glint flashed in Su Qingci's eyes, and her gaze toward Tang Liping was no longer so friendly.
At this moment, Yu Zhengbao was rubbing his head and groaning in pain.
Granny Yu walked through the main room carrying a poached egg in sweet soup.
The little radish heads sniffed the sweet aroma in the air, swallowing hard involuntarily.
"Get out of here, you shallow-minded thing."
Grandma Yu pushed her granddaughter, who was blocking the doorway, and went into the inner room with the bowl in her hand.
The little girl stood up, holding onto the threshold, and stared blankly at the closed door.
"Grandma made something delicious for Uncle again."
"Yes, it's poached eggs in sweet soup."
"I wish we were Uncle San's children."
"Now we'll have something good to eat too."
"Yes, I also want my third uncle to be my father, so that my grandma will definitely give me food too."
The woman picking vegetables at the door turned as cold as ice upon hearing this.
My mother-in-law is so biased. In this family, the eldest and second wives are treated like beasts of burden.
All the good stuff ended up in the third son's stomach.
Even the dolls below couldn't get a single drop on it.
She already has two children of her own, so why should she help someone else raise a child who weighs over 100 pounds?
Grandma Yu had no idea what her daughter-in-law was thinking.
He took the bowl and went to Yu Zhengbao's bedside.
"Oh my goodness."
"Come, come, Mom made you a poached egg. Eat it quickly to nourish your body."
"Although it's hot today, the water in that deep pool is really cold."
"Your health is already weak, so don't catch a cold."
"Does your head still hurt?"
Granny Yu placed the bowl on the broken table by the bedside and unconsciously reached out to stroke her son's forehead.
"Oh dear, this bump is still swollen, it looks like a rolled-up corner. What bastard did that to me?"
"Here, you eat first, Mom will put some tea oil on your finger and rub it on."
Yu Zhengbao picked up the porcelain bowl next to him with one hand, tilted his head back, and ate half a bowl of sweet egg soup.
There was only one egg, and not enough sugar was added.
It seems my days in this house are getting harder and harder.
As soon as Granny Yu came in, she started complaining.
"Mom, I'm injured like this, and you still won't give me an extra egg?"
"There wasn't even half a spoonful of sugar, was there? It's so bland, with only a hint of sweetness."
While rubbing her son's forehead, Granny Yu said with exasperation, "You're such a disappointment."
"You heartless bastard, how can you talk like that?"
"I'd practically rip my heart out to you."
"Look for yourself, how many people are in your family?"
"You have four nephews and nieces already, have they ever had sex?"
"Didn't it all end up in your stomach?"
“You haven’t made any money all year round, and those two jinxes are always watching you.”
"If I go too far, your two older brothers might start to have some reservations."
"What will you do if your brother abandons you?"
