The well is about a ten-minute walk from their house.
Aunt Wang carried buckets of water, with Xiang Wanwan following beside her. The two walked forward, chatting and laughing.
When they arrived at the well, there were many people queuing up to draw water. When they saw them coming, they whispered among themselves.
"Oh my, who is this girl? She's really pretty."
"I heard this is Commander Lu's wife, she just arrived yesterday."
"Who's that next to you?"
"This one's really something. She's Commander Chen's wife from his hometown. She just arrived yesterday and forced Nurse Li to leave. They're divorced, but she's still clinging to Commander Chen!"
"She must be regretting it! Look at her, that haggard old woman, how can she compare to Nurse Li!"
······
Xiang Wanwan didn't expect that yesterday's events would spread so quickly.
And the rumors are so awful?
So everyone here knows that Chen De is divorced and is now with Nurse Li!
Hearing this, Sister Wang clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.
She was clearly the original wife!
Now I've become the third party who ruins other people's lives!
How could she accept this?
Wang's wife looked at her with a blank expression, and her hands trembled slightly.
She looked utterly helpless.
"Wanwan, I... what should I do?"
Xiang Wanwan held her hand, patted it twice, and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, you are the original wife. Show your original wife spirit and don't back down because of these rumors."
"Let them all see who the real mistress is!"
Looking at Xiang Wanwan's encouraging eyes, Sister Wang felt a little more motivated.
She straightened her back, picked up the bucket, and walked forward.
Xiang Wanwan glanced at the gossipy women beside her and deliberately teased Wang Sao:
"Sister-in-law, I heard from others that if someone loved to gossip while alive, the King of Hell will pull out their tongue after they die!"
Sister Wang immediately understood and deliberately raised her voice.
"That's right, something like that happened in my hometown!"
“There was an old woman in our village who loved to gossip when she was alive. Guess what? On the day she was buried, it rained heavily. The people carrying the coffin lost their footing and dropped the coffin. She rolled out of it, and her whole tongue was sticking out. Everyone said that the King of Hell pulled out her tongue, so that she wouldn’t be able to say a word in hell after she died, and she wouldn’t be able to communicate with her family.”
After speaking, Wang Sao gave a meaningful look to the women beside her.
The woman was terrified by her gaze, and thinking of the story she had just told, her body trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the group hurriedly carried the water buckets and left.
Xiang Wanwan gave Wang's wife a thumbs up.
marvelous!
As long as Chen De doesn't publicly admit that he and Wang Sao are not divorced, anything they say now will sound like sophistry.
So it's better to scare them first and make them behave themselves.
After returning from fetching water, Aunt Wang invited her to her home for dinner, but Xiang Wanwan felt it wasn't appropriate to always eat at other people's homes, so she declined.
She plans to cook lunch for herself.
The original owner was a capitalist's daughter who couldn't cook, but Xiang Wanwan herself could cook. As a modern-day slave living in a rented apartment, she couldn't possibly eat takeout every day.
