Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Found Out

The woman said defiantly, "But you can’t live together before marriage, can you?"

"Hmph, we did what we’re not supposed to do before getting married, so stop saying what’s pointless!"

The woman didn’t dare say more but still felt resentful. She was always one to take advantage, and it’s obvious Sun Chan’s family is wealthy. They throw away a lot of food—vegetables, eggs, fish—but never think about sharing some with us. My son is still in school and needs to strengthen his body. The last time I asked for some cabbage, they only gave me a bowl of cut-up scraps. Stingy! And thinking about how Sun Chan gave that man so much fruit made her even unhappier.

Her husband is okay, though. He tells this woman not to go ask Sun Chan for anything.

But the woman still doesn’t listen, thinking, this time I caught her with another man; she would surely have to give me something to shut me up, right? Otherwise, if I spread this around, she’s done for.

Sun Chan left after lunch to sell goods, and the woman kept waiting. In the evening, she heard the neighbors making noises, so she pretended to go out and dump ashes and followed them outside.

Seeing Sun Chan indeed outside, she smiled and said, "Sis, your family sells fruit, right? Doing well in business, huh?"

Sun Chan replied, "Not great, not really making money."

"Sigh, my son loves fruit too, but you know, life conditions aren’t great now, and not everyone can afford fruit. His dad’s wages barely cover potatoes, so where to buy fruit?"

Of course, Sun Chan could hear she wanted fruit, but she never got along with this neighbor and was not warm when speaking with her. Plus, the woman was mean and always talked about neighbors behind their back, so Sun Chan didn’t like her and pretended not to understand.

"There’s no way around it. Wages aren’t high nowadays. Nothing is easy." She finished speaking and went back inside.

The woman said, "I saw you give fruit to a stranger today. You two have a good relationship?"

Sun Chan glanced at her, answering coldly, "We’re relatives." What did that mean? Are you checking household registrations, or trying to expose my misconduct?

Sun Chan ignored her and shut the door, going inside.

Seeing Sun Chan being so clueless made her even angrier. She cursed quietly, "Hah! Selling fruit doesn’t make you special, lady; I look down on your kind of fox spirit."

The next day, after Sun Chan left, the woman walked outside to buy tofu and gossiped with the neighbors, spreading nasty rumors about Sun Chan living with her boyfriend, often hooking up with other men, having them at her place, and more.

"So young and already doing this? But I heard her boyfriend is an officer in the army."

"Being in the army doesn’t pay much. She dresses and eats well; doesn’t she need money?" The woman laughed. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This meaning was quite offensive, insinuating Sun Chan relied on relationships with other men to support herself.

She was filled with hatred towards Gu Junming but couldn’t trouble him, so she targeted Sun Chan.

Yang Yun thought, if she could find trouble for this girl, she’d surely teach her a lesson! She found out where she sold fruit and followed her here.

She wouldn’t personally dirty her hands, couldn’t endure that hardship; it was one of her father’s secretaries who got the information. She came early to check it out, and unexpectedly heard the woman gossip about Sun Chan, making her ecstatic.

This woman was really asking for it! If you’re so improper, not telling anyone would be unfair to you!

Last time your boyfriend treated me that way, this time I won’t be polite!

She returned home and told her father, "Dad! That Gu Junming fancies himself tough, but his partner isn’t decent. Sneaks around while he’s away. Let him see, I want him humiliated!"

Father Yang glanced at his daughter and frowned, "Is it worth it? You don’t have a big feud with Gu Junming; does it have to be this irreconcilable?"

"I won’t stand for it! Your daughter has many flaws and faults, but dad, you ignore them. Why worry about him, and let him speak nonsense in front of grandpa causing me trouble? If you won’t help me vent, I won’t talk to you anymore!" She finished and sat aside sulking.

Father Yang chuckled, "Alright, I’ll go take a look then." He wasn’t as steadfast as his father; previously, Zhao Feitian had provided him many benefits, proper gifts during holidays, and help with his subordinates’ work arrangements. But now, because of Gu Junming, Zhao Feitian was captured, leaving him without support, very uncomfortable, and losing potential benefits. Father Yang didn’t dare oppose Gu Junming openly, but secretly retaliating a bit wasn’t out of the question.
