Chapter 306

"It would be best if we could arrest her today. Look at her, she's so seductive, always walking with her back hunched over, flaunting herself in the family compound. She's ruined the atmosphere around here lately."

The two women were talking to themselves, while the other people who had come out with them looked at them with disdain.

Sister-in-law Wang was even more merciless in her accusations, saying, "I think you two are just sour grapes, aren't you? You're just envious of the things that Comrade Shu Ying and Comrade Li Qingqing have embroidered and the little clothes they made for their children, which you don't have, so you're here gossiping."

When Shu Ying first moved in, most people didn't understand her temperament. In addition, Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan kept talking about her capitalist background, so many people were worried that they would get into trouble and deliberately kept their distance from her.

But after spending some time together, everyone realized that Shuying wasn't like the wolves and tigers they described, and they gradually understood her true nature.

They clearly can't stand seeing others do well.

Sister Tian immediately agreed, "I think that's right. Everyone else in our compound has a child, but yours isn't. If you had built a good relationship with them beforehand and hadn't been so hostile towards them in the first place, the relationship between the two families wouldn't be so strained now. How do you know if it's good or bad that a leader has come to their house? I think some people shouldn't be so petty."

Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan pretended not to hear the accusations, whether overt or covert. After all, they still had to live their own lives. Besides, what was so special about those things?

It's as if no one but Li Qingqing knows how to do it.

"I think you've been sucking up to capitalists for too long, and you don't even know what it feels like to stand up straight. I told you that Shu Ying is a remnant of capitalists. Look at your faces. You haven't even known each other for very long, and you've already been bought off by her petty gains. It's obvious that our child has been targeted by her and Li Qingqing."

Li Chunyan immediately nodded, "The two of them are trying to set a bad example in the army and make the children compete with each other. Their intentions are already out in the open. Only you naive people can't see through them."

Even if you argue with them until the end, they will never admit that they are envious of those things. Other children have them, and it's not that they haven't secretly asked others to make them for them. It's just that even if they pay more, no one can make the same style. And the two of them are too proud to admit their mistakes, so they secretly slander them.

Sister-in-law Wang sneered, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them before finally uttering a sarcastic remark.

"I don't see whether Comrade Shu Ying has started a competitive mentality. On the contrary, I think there are other people who are seriously competitive."

Others found the two of them amusing and didn't want to talk to them much.

Zhao Lijuan stood at her door with one hand on her hip. "If you don't believe me, we'll see today. I'm going to open my eyes wide and see just how lucky she is to have so many leaders here, someone who can't even tell the difference between the five grains."

As evening approached, several leaders finally emerged from Xie's house, but no one knew the specifics of the situation.

When it was time for the children to get out of school, San Niu and Tu Dou were playing in the yard, while Zhao Lijuan lit a mosquito coil and used a fan to drive away the mosquitoes.

"San Niu, all you do after school is play. Have you done your homework? You're about to start first grade, and you can't let your grades fall any further."

San Niu hesitated to go inside, putting down the pebbles in her hand and shaking Zhao Lijuan's arm with both hands.

"Mom, we heard Yangyang and Yueyue say at school today that their mom did something big last night."

Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan exchanged a glance. Li Chunyan, holding a plum in her hand, beckoned to the child, "San Niu, come here and tell your aunt what you heard at school?"

San Niu's missing tooth has grown back, and she's been speaking less lisping lately. However, her skin is still quite dark. Wearing a floral dress, she ran excitedly to Li Chunyan's side.

"Anyway, their mothers didn't pick them up from school yesterday, and I heard they didn't get back until very late. They even said it wasn't convenient for them to know."

Potato immediately raised his hand, "I know, she did something bad. Stone told me that she shouldn't let others know she did something wrong."

Li Chunyan's eyes darted around, and she immediately leaned closer to Zhao Lijuan.

"You know what, Shuying was indeed out for a long time yesterday. I saw with my own eyes that Xiao Wang took her away. I didn't even notice when she came back. But she didn't even pick up the child. Being out for so long can't be a good thing."

Zhao Lijuan slapped her chin heavily on her cheek, her face practically splitting with laughter.

"How come I didn't think of this? I was thinking about it yesterday. I didn't see her all day. And today, so many leaders came to the Xie family. I think something serious must have happened. It's definitely because of her identity. She's been causing trouble in the family compound for so long. I think it's only a matter of time before she gets punished."

Li Chunyan and the other woman discussed it and said, "Isn't this great news? We've been here for so long, and finally we have some good news."

San Niu and Shi Tou couldn't understand what the two were saying, but in any case, if they could finish their homework a little later, they could play a little longer.

The next morning, no one took the afternoon's visit to the Xie family seriously anymore. However, Li Chunyan, holding a handful of melon seeds, strode out of her own yard with great pride.

"Well, if you ask me, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's just that the time for retribution hasn't come yet."

Wang's wife, who was sweeping her yard, straightened up and neatly leaned the broom against the wall. She glanced at her with annoyance. It was bad luck to encounter a crowing hen so early in the morning.

Seeing that Sister Wang didn't seem to be interested in gossip, Li Chunyan put on a smile and eagerly came over.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you haven't heard yet, have you? So many people from the Xie family went yesterday. It's because the higher-ups are unhappy with Shu Ying's status. They only did it because we usually live close by. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: it's better to stay away from people you shouldn't associate with. If something goes wrong and it gets dragged into your lives, wouldn't that be a loss?"
