"Isn’t that the truth, the day the Lin Family moved, they all looked like they’d lost their mother."
Grandma Shen leaned in a bit, whispering, "Compared to the things that happened later in their family, this is nothing."
Is there more juicy gossip?
Jiang Cheng stopped eating her peanuts, it was affecting her eavesdropping speed.
"The Lin Family was detained for investigation for three days and then released."
"The Yang Family’s affair was blown out of proportion, the investigation was swift! All the things they embezzled were found out, and it’s not just the embezzlement, it involves several lives too."
"Lives?"
Jiang Cheng was shocked, and Grandma Shen clicked her tongue.
"Lin Jiaojiao’s husband, Yang Yuanming, this beast killed a girl, and when her parents came to demand justice, they were also secretly killed by the Yang Family."
"Wow... I’ve heard that Yang Yuanming that beast had previously assaulted two other girls, which the Yang Family hushed up with money."
"But Yang Yuanming didn’t end well, that girl was fierce and caused injury to Yang Yuanming’s descendants."
At this point, Grandma Shen glanced at Jiang Cheng, seeing no embarrassment on her face, she continued.
"People say it was drugs that helped Lin Jiaojiao conceive, the Yang Family only has one son, they highly valued this pregnancy."
"Who would have thought their family would fall so quickly."
Thinking about it, Grandma Shen mentioned them as cursed.
"It’s really a curse! Lin Jiaojiao and the Lin Family share the same nature, they severed ties with the Yang Family at the first opportunity, and the Yang Family agreed quickly. Yang Yuanming mentioned divorce, and it happened just like that."
"They were begging Lin Jiaojiao just to give birth to the Yang Family’s child..."
"But Lin Jiaojiao didn’t give birth, she went to the hospital and aborted it."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was surprised.
She was surprised by how decisive Lin Jiaojiao was.
Jiang Cheng felt she was in no position to judge, no one can truly empathize.
She was just here for the gossip.
"Did Lin Jiaojiao go back to the Lin Family?"
Jiang Cheng asked, Grandma Shen shook her head.
"No! She doesn’t have a family to return to; the entire Lin Family has distanced themselves from her."
"The Lin Family is really ruthless! That’s their own daughter! Although I don’t like Lin Jiaojiao, the Lin Family still took so much from them, and they just cut ties like that."
Grandma Shen lamented.
Curiously, Jiang Cheng asked, "Then where did Lin Jiaojiao go?"
"I heard she went to the old Yang Family house, Yang Yuanming said it was given to her after the divorce."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned.
This decision by Lin Jiaojiao was neither wise nor safe.
She had aborted the child, and the Yang Family valued the child.
It’s uncertain what Yang Yuanming might do.
Lin Jiaojiao should protect herself instead of going back there.
"Have Yang Yuanming and the others gone in for good?"
Jiang Cheng asked again.
Grandma Shen waved her hand and said, "Not only have they gone in, but their heads are about to eat peanuts."
"The Yang Family, all four members except the youngest, Yang Guilan, are about to eat peanuts, and even Director Hu, who used to compete with us, was found to have embezzled quite a bit, and it all came out this time."
"Quite a few people were taken down from the street office!"
Jiang Cheng oh-ed in acknowledgment.
If no one from the Yang Family comes out, maybe Lin Jiaojiao will be somewhat safe.
But you can never be too sure, even a broken ship still has three thousand nails.
Grandma Shen trimmed the flame of the kerosene lamp with scissors, then pushed it a bit further away because it smoked too much.
The two continued to chat deep into the night.
Grandma Shen left satisfied from next door, and Shen Que, who had not yet gone to sleep, looked at the time.
Four hours.
What exactly did they talk about?
Shen Que was pondering whether he should seek counsel from Grandma Shen.
The first night of Jiang Cheng’s return ended just like that.
Exhausted from the day, she went to sleep after seeing off Grandma Shen.
The next morning, Jiang Cheng woke up a bit late.
As soon as she opened the door, a chill breeze made her shiver.
"Good morning, sister, it’s so cold today! Wear more!"

Shen Xing and Shen Yue also gave a helping hand.
