"You're taking advantage of the fact that my son is missing and can't be found, and you're putting all the blame on him. I know you all too well, and I'm telling you, don't even think about doing that while I'm around!"
"And you all said you didn't know the specific circumstances, so how could you know it was my son who caused this?"
Her mind had never been clearer than it was now.
Although it is nonsense, there is some truth in what he said.
"If you ask me, I would say that the equipment you showed my son was too eye-catching. You pushed him there even though you knew it was not a safe place."
"Now he's been robbed, his goods are gone, and I'm afraid his life is also going to be lost."
"In the end, you guys acted like good leaders, pushing the responsibility onto my poor son, who I don't know if he'll ever be able to come back and explain himself..."
Outside the door, Zhou Yinglan curled her lips and had a complicated look in her eyes.
I felt both sympathy for Zhang Guifang and gloating over her misfortune.
When Su Lixuan came back from looking at houses outside, Lu Yang's disappearance had already spread like wildfire in the slum.
As she walked by, she could hear the neighbors gathered together and sighed—
"Oh my God, it wasn't a car accident? Was he robbed?"
Someone slapped his thigh and said afterward, "No wonder Old Liu said earlier that the newspaper reported that a young man from our area had an accident in another place."
"I used to think the one in trouble was Li Yanhong's second son, but it wasn't Lin Zhan, it was Lu Yang from Zhang Guifang's family. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Everyone thought that Lu Yang was more stable than Lin Zhan, and everyone thought that the one who got into trouble must be the unreliable Lin Zhan.
Who could have guessed that Lu Yang would get into trouble by offending a local tyrant in another place?
"What should we do? Is the person dead or alive?"
"How would we know? Lu Yang's workplace said they haven't found him yet. Aunt Zhou heard it clearly and said the batch of goods Lu Yang was looking at was also stolen."
"According to the leader of his unit, even if the person is found, he will probably have to take responsibility."
After he finished speaking, everyone sighed.
Su Lixuan was so tired of listening to the gossip that she could hardly walk.
Someone lamented: "What's going on with Zhang Guifang's family? Why are all the children in her family so unlucky?"
"They are a hateful family, but now they have fallen into this state and are quite pitiful."
certainly.
This pity is just lip service, but asking them to lend a hand or give some help is another matter.
They had to cry poor one by one and say that every family has its own problems. They felt sorry for Zhang Guifang's family, but who else could feel sorry for their family?
"It's pretty miserable. I thought it would get better after the Chinese New Year, but who knew it would be even worse after the Chinese New Year."
"If you ask me, Zhang Guifang's family's bad luck started when Yangzi married Ye Wei. Some people here are prosperous families, while others may just be disruptive families."
"Hard-fate, unlucky, born to bring disaster!"
Su Lixuan was listening attentively until she heard these words.
She stood outside the crowd and looked through the crowd at the person who said this.
I thought of how Zhang Guifang in the original book tried to "control" the original daughter-in-law.
He also deliberately spread rumors that the original body was a troublemaker and that nothing good had happened in the family since he entered the house.
The original body also had the reputation of being a troublemaker.
Every time she walked through the slum, people would look at her with tacit understanding, and then look at her strangely.
The people in the original book probably also paid so much attention to their original selves behind the scenes.
Su Lixuan stared at her elder sister who was speaking and said, "Sister Xu, I remember hearing someone say that your mother-in-law died two months after you married into this compound, right?"
"Then the following year your father-in-law also passed away in an accident."
"Then you gave birth to a child. You didn't keep the first daughter, so you gave away the second one because you thought it was unlucky to have a daughter. Now you finally have a little son."
"My youngest son isn't in good health and has to go to the hospital every few days."
She didn't expect that someone would talk about these things to her face. The person called Sister Xu by Su Lixuan changed her expression on the spot.
The crowd spontaneously made way between the two men.
Su Lixuan, with her belly sticking out and her chin raised, looked at the other person with a calm expression. Even when she met the other person's murderous gaze, she did not take a single step back.
Not only did he not retreat.
Instead, he raised his lips and said, "If it's according to what Sister Xu said, then Sister Xu must have a bad fate. She only disturbs the family and does not bring prosperity to it."
"Otherwise, how could it have killed so many people?"
Sister Xu blushed at the mockery and pointed at Su Lixuan: "You!"
Su Lixuan interrupted her sharply: "What do you mean by 'I'? Wasn't what I said right?"
She glanced at the people around her and said coldly.
"We are all women, and there are many who are older than me and of higher generation than me. Logically, they should understand more about life than me."
"You must be careful with your words. Today you heard Sister Xu say that someone was a troublemaker and that someone was destined to have an unlucky husband."
"You guys thought it was quite amusing, and you jumped on the bandwagon and spread the word, as if it were quite something and quite impressive."
"But can you guarantee that such a statement won't happen to you or your daughter someday?"
"We are all women. I won't tell women why they have to embarrass other women, because in your eyes, it's just gossiping and it doesn't count as embarrassment."
"I just want to say that at least we shouldn't be the first to stab our own kind. Is that okay? Others haven't done anything yet, and haven't said anything yet."
"Let's first define the poor woman who is also a woman, saying that she is born with bad luck and help her shoulder the responsibility."
"Why is a human life so fragile and so easily defeated?"
