After all, Su Shen’s pig farm was renowned in this region, bringing prosperity to the villagers as well. Coupled with the presence of influential figures at the wedding, who would dare to offend the Su family now?
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang’s words, the women’s scowls vanished instantly, replaced by ingratiating smiles. “We women do love to gossip, but we never mean any harm, Aunt Zhang. Please don’t mention this to Su Shen.”
Aunt Zhang chuckled, showing no mercy. “Since you claim it’s all in good fun, why not let Su Shen in on the joke? He might not even know how popular his wife is, being the subject of your amusement.”
The women blushed, their expressions turning frantic as they rushed to rectify the situation.
“Aunt Zhang, you misunderstood us. We didn’t mean any harm. From now on, I’ll keep quiet. It was them who led me on.”
“How could you say that? You were the one who started it. Aunt Zhang, I was just following their lead.”
“You all change your tune so quickly. You all get along well with Mrs. Wang normally. Now that Mrs. Wang claims that Gu Zi has ruined her relationship with her mother-in-law, Aunt Yang, you all start badmouthing Gu Zi. I’m the Innocent one nere.”
Aunt Zhang watched as the women started bickering amongst themselves. A satisfied smile spread across her face. She turned around, leading her grandson Shi Tou into the house, leaving the women to their accusations.
When Mother Lin and Li Hua returned to Little Lin Village, they felt a sense of unease as soon as they saw their house. The mother and daughter-in-law quickened their pace.
A crowd had gathered in front of the Lin’s house. Seeing the two women return, a villager hurriedly approached Mother Lin. “Oh, thank heavens you’re back. Your husband was injured by Lin Jie from Lin Laoyao’s family. His leg might be crippled. My husband has taken him to the city hospital. They should be there soon. ”
Upon hearing that her husband was injured, Mother Lin nearly collapsed, but was steadied by Li Hua and the woman who fed them the information.
Mother Lin felt that this incident was definitely related to the last time Lin Jie came and didn’t get the retirement money. Lin Jie was a petty man who often loitered around the town. It wasn’t hard for him to stir up trouble.
Li Hua angrily said, “Lin Jie is such a scoundrel! How could he do such a thing!”
