Lin Juhua slapped her thighs, exclaiming with the sentiment of meeting a kindred spirit, "I’m so worried, my family Xiao Wu has always had loose hands. A little money and he buys things for the kids in the house, even for me and his sister-in-law. Whenever my mother-in-law throws a tantrum, he speaks well of me; he’s better than my own brother. This time he said he’d give Jiao Jiao some advice, like sending wild game to these families without saying anything. After all, they’re relatives. Just say not to send things over; packages often get lost around here. We can thank them when we have a chance to visit Beijing. You see, he’s taking all the blame himself."
"Our family supports Xiao Wu saying this. Otherwise, how would the Lin Family view us rural folks? Jiao Jiao also said it’s better this way. There won’t be much to do with her uncle from now on; they’ve become so shameless. How can she run the household in the future with this character? There’s going to be a separation next year, and my mother-in-law plans to live with the eldest brother. These two are like playing house; they’ve even had a child."
Zhang Xuehua comforted Lin Juhua, "Jiao Jiao is a kind-hearted person. She can’t force her uncle; her parents are still around. If things turn ugly, it won’t look good for anyone."
While they were talking, several more people arrived, their mouths agape at what they overheard. Lin Juhua and the others whispered for quite a while until the work whistle sounded.
An old lady from the village said, "Forget it, go back and advise not to be sad. Having such relatives is worse than having none. The sooner the ties are cut, the better..."
"One can tell they’re not good people; in the whole family, only one person works in the fields. They all rely on the golden baby’s grandfather’s family to support them. That grandfather is really something."
"Good people get bullied, and good horses get ridden. If I were the golden baby, I’d report them. What’s with that Huang Damao’s family? How poor they used to be..."
Lin Juhua, seeing the situation, felt satisfied. It seemed the goal Xiao Wu mentioned had been achieved, but if not, she’d address it after work in the afternoon; it was exhausting.
Sun Meili was working and grew more and more unwilling. Such a despicable, shameless wicked woman was always showing off in front of her. What’s the matter? She should tear off that facade. Let Zhou Xue stop flaunting. She acts like she’s the golden baby, but she actually snatched her man away. Is her family a group of bandits?
She decided to go back to her maiden home and tell her two sisters-in-law about that shameless family. They should be embarrassed somehow.
