Chapter 31: My Sister and Comrade Fu Xiangyun Got Into a Fight

Chapter 31: My Sister and Comrade Fu Xiangyun Got Into a Fight

Fu Xiangyun is quite aggressive. She grabbed Jiang Ting's hair and slapped her several times, battling from the inner room to the living room.

Jiang Yu took a few steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Since entering the house, Jiang Ting had been trying to placate her younger sister-in-law, daring not to retaliate.

Thus, Fu Xiangyun had the upper hand throughout, inflicting considerable pain on Jiang Ting.

Jiang Yu coldly watched from the side, shouting insincerely, "Oh, stop it! Please stop! Comrade Fu Xiangyun, those words were just nonsense I made up. My sister wasn't thinking about anyone, it was all my lies."

Jiang Ting hurriedly said, "Xiangyun, it's a misunderstanding. Jiang Yu has admitted that she was talking nonsense!"

She felt truly wronged. The unkempt appearance of Du Juan’s second uncle, there was no way she could find him appealing.

Blinded by anger, Fu Xiangyun refused to listen to Jiang Yu.

As soon as Jiang Yu opened her mouth, Fu Xiangyun thought of how Jiang Ting still had another man on her mind, marrying her brother for his status as a city dweller.

"Spit!" She spat on Jiang Ting's face. "Shameless hussy! As a country girl, you're not even worthy to carry my brother’s shoes, let alone pick and choose for my brother!"

"A wretch like you, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to let you into our family! Not even officially married, and you dare to climb into my brother’s bed, clinging to him as if your life depended on it. Do you think I can’t see through your schemes?"

Hearing Fu Xiangyun’s increasingly harsh insults, Jiang Yu ran out to call for help.

"Aunt Xu, Aunt Ruan, please come and help! My sister and Comrade Fu Xiangyun are fighting!"

Spectators are never late. Xu Lihua was the first to run out, wearing her slippers on the wrong feet.

"Where? Where? What happened? Old Ruan, Ruan Xiuying! Come and see!"

As Xu Lihua shouted, people emerged from their homes.

At that moment, Fu Xiangyun kicked Jiang Ting out.

"Pah! Everyone should know what kind of slut you are!"

Jiang Yu curled her lips, about to leave, when she spotted He Tingyue.

This is bad. Why do I always run into him when I do something wrong?

"Comrade He."

He Tingyue had intended to ignore her, but his gaze seemed to betray him as he gave Jiang Yu a slight nod.

Then he turned back and said in a deep voice, "Liangzi, go call Fu Xiangyang home!"

It’s not right for us to get involved in these family matters.

"Okay!"

Jiang Yu opened her mouth, stood there for a moment, watching He Tingyue move forward.

She didn’t think she had done anything wrong. If Jiang Ting hadn’t plotted against her, she wouldn’t have retaliated.

But He Tingyue didn’t know the full story. Would he think she had ulterior motives?

Just as Jiang Yu was pondering whether she should explain herself, she saw someone approaching He Tingyue.

It was a woman she had never seen before, her face flushed with bashfulness, clearly interested in He Tingyue.

"Big Brother He, that woman is looking at you. Do you know her?"

Jiang Yu received a hostile glare and felt a sudden sinking in her heart.

Then she heard He Tingyue coldly reply, "We’re not close."

He knew exactly what Duan Yuzhen was capable of.

If he had said he knew Jiang Yu, Duan Yuzhen would have made things difficult for her.

Jiang Yu bit her lip and turned away, leaving the noise and commotion behind her.

What he said was technically true. They really weren’t close, but it still made her uncomfortable to hear.

After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Yu went to the supply cooperative.

She waited until Xie Feifei was done with her work to go and speak with her.

Xie Feifei listened with keen interest, wishing she could witness the drama firsthand.

"Why did you leave so quickly?"

Jiang Yu pouted, "Don’t you think I’m awful?"

"Of course not! It's Jiang Ting who wronged you first." Xie Feifei snorted.

Having such a sister, Jiang Yu was the unfortunate one.

Mentioning family issues always troubled Jiang Yu, so she changed the subject to He Tingyue.

Xie Feifei then learned that Jiang Yu had visited the matchmaker and been rejected.

"That’s not surprising. You're not the first person Section Chief He has turned down."

Several others had been rejected by him before Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu twitched her lips and gave a helpless smile.

"Thanks for trying to comfort me." Though it didn’t really comfort her.

Xie Feifei burst out laughing, "I'm not just comforting you. Section Chief He is really hard to pursue. Otherwise, he would have gotten married by now. He's quite fierce. I actually think the two of you aren't a good match. I'd rather introduce my cousin to you."

In her eyes, a pretty woman like Jiang Yu should be cherished and adored.

Jiang Yu listened but didn’t take it seriously.

She really liked He Tingyue and wanted to give it a try.

If she couldn’t make him fall in love with her in the end, then so be it.

"By the way, the exam date has been set. 9 AM on Wednesday, the 21st. Don't be late."

Jiang Yu noted it down in her notebook, "I got it, won't be late."

Seeing how serious Jiang Yu was, Xie Feifei felt a pang of reluctance but still offered a gentle reminder in the end.

"Among the people taking the exam at the same time, there was one named Duan Yuzhen, whose uncle is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. My mom said that this job may have already been reserved for her."

Actually, Huang Ying wasn't very sure either, as Editor Wen was known for his integrity and was unlikely to favor Duan Yuzhen.

But Xie Feifei thought that no matter how upright a person was, they would definitely favor their own relatives, so she reminded Jiang Yu.

Bitterness spread through Jiang Yu's heart, and she smiled.

"It's okay, I will still give it my all and consider it as gaining experience for myself."

If jobs were so easy to find, no one would spend twelve hundred to buy one.

She had no power or influence, no connections, and no money. It was already quite rare for her to get this opportunity.

Now, turning to the situation at the large courtyard, after He Tingyue stepped in, Fu Xiangyun finally released Jiang Ting.

But she continued to curse, and the things she said were so dirty that even Xu Lihua and the others found it excessive.

They secretly shook their heads, wondering why they hadn’t realized that Fu Xiangyun could be so aggressive.

Fortunately, Fu Xiangyang and Lin Hongxia returned just in time.

Sun's mother quickly shouted, "Old Lin, you’re back just in time! Xiangyun says your daughter-in-law was having an affair! She just joined the family, how could this happen!"

The words "having an affair" struck a deep chord in Jiang Ting's heart, causing her to fly into a rage and attack Sun's mother.

She had endured Fu Xiangyun earlier, not daring to fight back.

She tolerated Fu Xiangyun out of respect for Fu Xiangyang. That old hag was nothing, how dare she speak about me like that.

"You all spout nonsense, defaming my innocence. When did I ever have an affair? Show me the proof! Old hag, you’re full of malice, just wait and see what I do to you!"

Sun's mother didn’t expect her words to provoke such a reaction, turning from a spectator into the target of the drama.

An old bachelor, Zeng Chang, lived in the east wing room. He had also been watching the scene.

When he saw Sun's mother being attacked, he couldn’t stay seated. He rushed out of the room, pulled Jiang Ting off, and helped Sun's mother to her feet.

"Xiuyu, are you all right?"
