Chapter 374

She stretched her neck, completely ignoring Shu Ying in front of her. There was no one else in this house, which ironically made things easier for her.

If the child in her womb were to die in this family, Shu Ying wouldn't be able to explain herself no matter how many mouths she had.

From the moment Xie Wanying entered the room without any regard for propriety, Shu Ying's dissatisfaction was already undisguised. However, seeing that the other party was clearly trying to provoke trouble and that her words were meant to stir up conflict between the two of them, she instantly understood the other party's intention.

Xie Wanying was carrying a fake child, and he probably felt there wasn't enough time, so he couldn't wait to pass this hot potato to her.

With just a simple consideration in mind, Shu Ying understood the purpose of her visit today, so she simply smiled, but her eyes remained calm.

She did not stop her at all, and even kept her distance from Xie Wanying throughout, coldly watching her unreasonable behavior.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave. This is my home. What I eat and do is my own business and has nothing to do with you. As for your claim that I'm spending Zhiyan's money, go ahead and think that way. But there's one thing I need to correct you on: he's my husband. Even if I'm spending his money, there's nothing wrong with it. Are you so jealous and envious because you're desperate for something you don't want?"

Xie Wanying stared wide-eyed, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, and she almost pointed her hand at Shu Ying's nose.

"Stop being sarcastic. If it weren't for me helping you out, what would you be? All you did was bring two bastards with you. It's only because my brother is an idiot that we don't even know if those two kids are his. You two have been separated for so many years. Who knows what you did in Shanghai back then?"

She intentionally wanted to stir up conflict between the two, but Shu Ying didn't care at all.

She walked into the courtyard and calmly looked at the hysterical Xie Wanying.

“If you have any doubts about the child’s parentage, you should talk to Zhiyan about it. If you don’t believe me, we can do a paternity test. There’s no need for you to be so sarcastic here. We’re about to have lunch, so I won’t keep you any longer. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

Xie Wanying tried everything she could to provoke Shu Ying, but Shu Ying didn't care at all. It was as if she had punched a cotton ball, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Shu Ying wasn't falling for it at all. If the two of them didn't have a conflict, how could Shu Ying push her?

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan followed the smell and came over.

Sister-in-law Wang and Aunt Pang were also attracted by the sound. The two families were steaming buns together. They had just put the dough into the pot and added some firewood when they heard Xie Wanying's loud voice.

People nearby turned to look, and many gathered in front of Shu Ying's courtyard to watch the spectacle.

Xie Wanying had no chance to maliciously frame someone in front of everyone.

"Shuying, I don't know why you have such a big problem with me. We've already given you everything in the house. I'm a married daughter, why can't you tolerate me? We're both women, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

Seeing that her methods were not working, Xie Wanying tried to cover up the truth and make everyone side with her.

Zhao Lijuan strongly supported Xie Wanying, saying, "Shuying, you should always leave room for maneuver. You don't respect your sister-in-law at all. First you got rid of Ding Rumei, and now you're trying to kick your sister-in-law out of the house? People say that you should marry a virtuous wife. Aren't you afraid of retribution for someone like you?"

Li Chunyan stepped into the courtyard and started gossiping about Shu Ying.

“Commander Xie’s family, we’re all women, you’re a mother and a daughter, why do you have to be so ruthless? Aren’t you worried that the children will follow suit? After all, one should have a conscience, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with others in the future.”

The two of them were singing in unison, clearly trying to marry Shu Ying off to the fire.

There were hardly any people at home today, and Xie Wanying couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes.

As long as Xie Zhiyan and Xie Mingzhu are not around, she will have no worries. When she succeeds, at least her in-laws will transfer all their hatred to Shu Ying.

Seeing that Shu Ying didn't speak, Zhao Lijuan assumed that she was scared, so she talked even more enthusiastically.

“We see each other all the time in this compound. You know all the rumors from before. But we’re always kind people here. We’ve never looked down on you, no matter who you are. But if you insist on narrowing your path, the people in this compound won’t be able to get along with you anymore.”

Sister-in-law Wang and Aunt Pang exchanged a glance, unable to bear listening any longer.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense. The fat aunt is holding a steamed bun that hasn't been steamed yet. She's strong and big, and the two of them can't compare to her. She takes the dough in her hand and stuffs it into Zhao Lijuan's mouth without any effort.

"Shut up! All you do is gossip about this family and that family. These things all come out of your mouth. People say you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You two are the most fond of spreading rumors in our neighborhood. You can't stand seeing others do well. You two are the ones who spread the rumors about others recently, aren't you?"

Sister-in-law Wang snorted coldly, looking at the trembling Li Chunyan, "Don't think we don't know your little tricks. You two are just jealous. You always have to talk about whatever happens in someone's family. If it weren't for the fact that we still have to get along, we don't know how many times we would have taken turns beating you."

With the dough stuffed in her mouth, Zhao Lijuan nearly choked to death. The two of them shook their heads repeatedly and waved their hands frantically.

They couldn't take the blame, after all, Xie Zhiyan's official position was above their men's, and if this were really investigated, they couldn't bear the charge of spreading rumors.

Liu Xiulan glared at them angrily, "You two are the biggest gossips. You always have to watch how other people live their lives. Comrade Shuying is usually very kind, so how come she becomes some kind of monster in your mouth? I have to say, it's better for people to be a little selfish. You never know how to look for the reasons within yourselves, but you always blame others."

Zhang Hongxia has a fiery temper, so naturally she wouldn't tolerate them.

“I heard it clearly that day. It was you who spread rumors about her, saying that she didn’t deserve the refrigerator and that Comrade Shuying just got lucky. In the end, it’s just that you two are envious. Everyone has a mouth, but everyone has a brain. Nobody is going to use you as a weapon.”
