Chu Jiao appeared once and then disappeared.
As for where she went, whether she was dead or alive, no one in the Chu family cared.
As for her husband and children, they only hope that she will die soon. Death is like a lamp going out. They hope that her death can resolve the grievances between them and the Chu family.
It's just that this idea is too naive.
In the more than ten years after Chu Jiao betrayed his brother, they stood on the same front as Chu Jiao and bullied the Chu family again and again.
They are not innocent.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, while Jin Yan was still asleep, Su Jianchang came over with his children.
The old father living in his daughter's house is somewhat of a slap in the face to his son, and outsiders will scold them for being unfilial.
Su Jianchang persuaded Grandpa Su to go home several times, but Qin Meifen disagreed.
She felt that being said a few words was nothing. Whoever liked to say it could say it, and it wouldn't hurt her at all.
As long as Grandpa Su doesn't live with them and doesn't need her to serve him, it doesn't matter no matter how many people scold her.
The couple had disagreements and couldn't talk together. Every conversation ended in a quarrel, and the matter of taking the old man home was put on hold again and again.
But Qin Meifen still thought of things too simply.
What she thought was "a few gossips" was actually overwhelming accusations and discussions.
When they lived in the town, the villagers scolded them for being unfilial, scolded her for abusing the elderly, and despised her for stealing money from the Su family to support her brother and younger brother, who were gamblers.
When she arrived in the city, she became the "factory director's wife", but people around her still looked down upon her and scolded her.
The difference is that in the village, the Su family had the best conditions. Su Jianchang sent home a lot of money every year. She had no worries about food and clothing and had nothing to ask for, so she naturally dared to look down on everyone.
But when she arrived in Beicheng, she had a new social circle, her network of connections expanded, and the social etiquette between people was different from when she was in the village.
Often she offends someone first, and then someone finds out something about her, and soon everyone who is familiar with them will know about her.
Regardless of whether those people are filial to their parents and elders, on the surface everyone will subconsciously attribute "good" qualities to themselves, and naturally they will condemn Qin Meifen's immoral behavior.
Not to mention asking for help, even if she went to buy vegetables or something, there would be people who despised her behavior and were unwilling to sell to her.
Once or twice.
One year or two.
After being pushed down year by year, Qin Meifen became the one who was isolated, excluded and always infamous.
When the public criticism around her affected her life and hindered her interests, she realized how important "gossip" was.
It's so heavy that you can't breathe.
Heavy enough to kill a man easily.
So when Su Jianchang mentioned that he was going to the Chu family to pay his old father a New Year's greeting, and to ease the relationship with the Chu family and take his old father back, Qin Meifen just pretended to be coy and agreed.
Jin Yan was awakened by Qin Meifen's sharp and harsh laughter.
She muttered something about how noisy it was, and realized later that the voice was somewhat familiar.
She made some noise when she turned over and got up. Wen Zhan, who lived next door, heard it and immediately knocked on the wall.
The two exchanged a few words, and Wen Zhan came over after Jin Yan got dressed.
"Who is it?" Jin Yan said.
Wen Zhan: "The Su family."
Jin Yan did not recognize his uncle and aunt, so he naturally would not recognize the identity of the couple and their children.
"Why are they here?" Jin Yan said.
Wen Zhan: "It sounds like I want to take grandpa back..."
Jin Yan said angrily: "They are dreaming!"
The old man didn't treat him as a person when he was in their home. Now that he has finally lived a peaceful life for a few years, and they don't need to contribute money or effort to support the old man in his old age, why are they causing trouble?
Wen Zhan touched her head, pressed down a strand of hair on her head a few times, and put the down jacket he bought on Jin Yan, "Put on your clothes, don't catch a cold."
Jin Yan was told to get dressed and go out.
Wen Zhan pulled her and said, "I haven't washed my face yet, but that girl from the Su family is here too, all dressed up."
Jin Yan: "Are you still paying attention to her?"
Wen Zhan chuckled, "I dare not hide it from you. I was just about to go out when I saw a turkey coming in that had all the latest popular elements and colors embedded into its body. It was hard not to pay attention."
"Scared you?" Jin Yan couldn't help laughing.
Wen Zhan came closer, his forehead pressed against Jin Yan's, and their breaths entwined.
After a few breaths, he said, "I'm really scared. I need you to comfort me."
"You're so pitiful, you're so pitiful. Then I'll give you a hug."
Jin Yan just gave Wen Zhan a hug when a figure flashed outside the bed.
The next second, the door was pushed open.
Su Ziyan, who wore all seven colors on her body and wore a small white flower on her head, stood at the door and looked at Jin Yan and Wen Zhan in shock.
Jin Yan and Wen Zhan lowered their faces at the same time.
Just when Jin Yan cursed "get out", Su Ziyan screamed.
Her voice startled everyone in the living room who was hesitant, and soon everyone came outside Jin Yan's house.
Qin Meifen saw Wen Zhan and Jin Yan in the room at a glance.
She obviously came to seek peace, but she didn't know how to behave with her tail between her legs. She glanced at the hands held by Jin Yan and Wen Zhan and then lectured Su Ziyan, "How many times have I told you not to run around when you go to other people's houses?" Move, won't this disturb your cousin and this..."
"Shut up if you can't speak. My daughter and son-in-law, it's not your turn to judge!" Su Meixian scolded.
Su Jianchang stood behind and realized what his daughter had just seen after hearing the words of his wife and sister.
He immediately scolded Qin Meifen, "What are you talking about? Yan Yan's partner lives in the room next door. I saw him washing up when we came in. Don't add your messy thoughts to this innocent child." On the body."
Jin Yan sneered, "What do you think? Qin Meifen, you can say whatever you want, but I want to hear how many stories you can make up this time."
Qin Meifen felt embarrassed, "Jin Yan, how could you miss your aunt so much? I just saw you as a girl being with a man..."
Jin Yan raised her hand and clapped it three times, and said in a cold voice: "With your dirty imagination, it would be a shame not to become a writer! Mom works countless jobs to support the three of us sisters, but you tell people about mom behind your back. I don't know what kind of shameful deeds you have done. You are my mother's sister-in-law, so outsiders naturally believe your words, so they not only called my mother a vixen, but they also didn't spare my two sisters.
Grandma was knocked down and died unexpectedly. When you meet people, you will say that I killed grandma.
Your uncle's work is not going well, so you are making a fuss about praying to God to remove plagues.
My mother took me to see my grandpa. You poured blood on me and hit me in the back with a peach tree branch...
But after so many years, I am still living well, but you have become a street rat that everyone avoids like the plague. Have you never reflected on why this is? "
