Chapter 49: So Who Is It? - The Daily Gossip of the Sickly Young Lady in the Compound

Although Lin Qing was full of questions at the moment, it didn’t stop her from getting up and dragging the lounge chair to the window to watch the commotion.

Once she settled back into the lounge chair, she realized the view was perfect. When she leaned back against the chair, her line of sight just happened to catch the scene outside the window, but people outside might not be able to see her inside. It was an excellent visual blind spot!

Wow! This is the perfect spot for some juicy gossip!

But none of that mattered now; what was important was the commotion outside!

So, who the heck is Wang Honghua?

Is it Mother Jiang or Jiang Da Sao?

Wait, no, her status has changed now, so can she still call her Mother Jiang?

Should she refer to her as mother-in-law then? Oh, no, no, that’s her brother and Zhang Mei’s in-law, not hers. She didn’t want to be related to someone like Mother Jiang at such a young age!

Forget it, let’s not dwell on this issue. Back to the original question, who exactly is Wang Honghua? What kind of mess did she get into that someone would come to her door for revenge?

Even as Lin Qing’s mind raced, she didn’t miss a beat watching the commotion.

"Mom, what should we do?" It was not hard to hear the slight tremble in Jiang Da Sao’s voice.

She had just peeked through the window crack and saw a few burly men outside, which sent her running to Mother Jiang for advice.

"Why are you freaking out? Her daughter is dead. Does she still expect my son to stay single for her?" Mother Jiang couldn’t stand her cowardly demeanor and scolded her in a low voice.

"She didn’t come alone; she brought a few... a few strong men with her," Jiang Da Sao stammered.

Mother Jiang’s face stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal. "What’s there to be scared of? If she dares to make trouble, I’ll... I’ll make sure she loses everything, even her underwear!" She had picked up this trick from Lin Qing!

Jiang Da Sao eyed her with suspicion. Are you sure this trick will work?

I remember that the family of the second sister-in-law was quite unruly. Can we really handle them?

Next door, Lin Shu and Jiang Yang were also at home. The two were about to get intimate again when they were interrupted by the sudden shout from outside.

Jiang Yang cursed under his breath.

Then he rolled off Lin Shu and lay down beside her, calming his desires. Lin Shu also snapped out of her lustful state!

This was the second time, the second time! Who is it?

Lin Shu was furious. Every time she was left hanging like this, interrupted by someone. Why was she so unlucky?

After a while, Lin Shu asked, "Yang, who is outside? Who is this Wang Honghua they’re talking about?"

Jiang Yang had already heard the commotion outside and recognized the familiar voice immediately, guessing who it was.

When he heard Lin Shu’s question, his face stiffened slightly. However, he knew this matter couldn’t be hidden forever, so he tried to speak as calmly as possible, "That’s the maternal family of Da Hu and Er Hu. The one outside is Da Hu and Er Hu’s maternal grandmother."

Lin Shu understood. So the one shouting outside was Jiang Yang’s former mother-in-law?

Thinking of this, Lin Shu suddenly realized that she hadn’t really learned much about Jiang Yang’s previous wife. She didn’t know much about the situation, as she thought that since the woman was dead, she couldn’t possibly come back to compete with her. So she had considered her irrelevant, but she had forgotten that the woman must have had a family!

She hadn’t seen this family at the wedding yesterday and thought it was because the Jiang family had thoughtfully resolved the issue and agreed that they wouldn’t attend the wedding to cause her trouble. But it turned out that she had been too optimistic. They hadn’t resolved it; they had simply kept it from the family and didn’t let them know.

So Wang Honghua is her mother-in-law?

"What should we do now, Yang?" Lin Shu didn't want to go out and deal with those people.

Jiang Yang glanced at her, "Don't worry, Mom will handle it."

Lin Shu sighed in relief!

...

In the backyard, Mother Li was chatting with Mother Sui. She had a little wine last night and slept soundly, completely missing the commotion from the night before, thus missing out on all the drama!

When she heard about it from her son and daughter-in-law this morning, she felt both regretful and relieved—regretful for not seeing the excitement live, and relieved that she wasn't there, or else she would have been caught in the middle again.

"Actually, it's not bad that Qin Xianglian married Zhou Qin! This way, the Su family has a man, and Zhou Qin, the old bachelor, finally got a wife," Mother Sui mused.

From the perspective of their older generation, these two were quite a match.

However, Mother Li, being a veteran matchmaker, saw things more clearly and said meaningfully, "They are a match, but I doubt Qin Xianglian and Mother Su would be very happy about it."

"How so?"

"Look, even before they got married, Qin Xianglian could often get some good stuff from Zhou Qin. Probably more than half of his monthly salary ends up with the Su family!"

"That much?" Mother Sui hadn't noticed that before.

Mother Li explained, "Well, I heard it from my grandchildren! They often tell me that the two kids from the Su family brag about having meat at home. When my grandchildren ask where they got it, they say it's from 'Old Zhou the Fool'."

"Tsk, Old Zhou the Fool? How rude of the Su kids! He's the one providing for them, and they call him that?"

"Exactly!" Mother Li sighed.

"I remember when the Su family was still an impoverished household, our courtyard even organized donations for them. Could it be that the whole family thinks of us as fools too?"

"Surely not?" Mother Li was taken aback by the thought, but considering it, it wasn't impossible.

"Who knows? They say it in private, we wouldn't know!" Mother Sui thought it was quite possible.

"True, let's not get hung up on it!" Mother Li didn't want to dwell on it anymore, since it hadn't reached their ears, who knows what they say in private?

"Wang Honghua!"

"Huh? Is someone shouting outside? From the front yard?" Mother Li listened carefully.

"It seems like it," Mother Sui also perked up her ears.

"Wang Honghua? Isn't that Mother Jiang?" Mother Li thought aloud.

Mother Li and Mother Sui exchanged glances, both eyes gleaming with the thrill of gossip, then got up and headed towards the front yard.

Not just them, but everyone from the backyard who wasn't at work or out came along, apart from the two mothers, the rest were young and old wives, quite a gathering!

As they stepped from the backyard into the front yard, they noticed that apart from the noisy group, none of the other families had come out.
