Chapter 209: Voluntary Disclosure – Daily Melon Eating at the Sickly Aunt’s Courtyard

Chapter 209: The Sickly Auntie's Daily Gossip in the Courtyard

"Hey, you said he was caught the day before yesterday, so why did it only start spreading today?" Lin Qing wondered when the aunties' gossip-spreading skills had become so weak?

"Well..." Fu Huihui suddenly thought of something and smiled.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Qing looked at her, puzzled.

"Don’t you want to know why I only found out now?" Fu Huihui whispered, "Actually, it was Miss Li herself who spread the news."

"Ah?" Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao were shocked again.

What on earth is going on?

Lin Qing eagerly asked, "Tell us, tell us, what exactly happened?"

Wang Jiaojiao also looked at her with interest.

"Hehe! Didn’t I tell you yesterday that Miss Li got divorced the day before yesterday?"

Lin Qing nodded, "Yes!" So what does this have to do with it?

"Of course it does, it’s very much related."

"Then hurry up and tell us!" Lin Qing couldn't help but get a little impatient.

"Mm-hmm." Wang Jiaojiao nodded.

"Don’t rush, let me explain it carefully."

"Okay!" Both of them responded at the same time.

"Actually, based on the timeline we know, Miss Li must have known about her husband’s peculiarities early on, which is why she seemed distracted at work." After Fu Huihui finished speaking, Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao nodded.

She continued, "So, Miss Li must have noticed what happened the day before yesterday early on and even brought a few people to catch him in the act, and her husband was caught red-handed."

"So why didn't it spread?"

"Of course, Miss Li’s ex-in-laws silenced it!"

"Oh! I get it!" Lin Qing immediately guessed, "Miss Li and her family were threatened to keep quiet, so Miss Li used this to threaten that disgusting man to divorce, right?"

Fu Huihui nodded and gave her a look of admiration.

Wang Jiaojiao also showed an expression of respect.

Lin Qing continued, "If I were Miss Li, I definitely wouldn’t want to continue living with a disgusting man who likes men."

Fu Huihui and Wang Jiaojiao nodded.

Fu Huihui went on with her story, "At that time, her in-laws were very reluctant and even advised Miss Li to think about her reputation and her children." At this point, she looked unhappy again, "But luckily, Miss Li understood that staying wouldn’t lead to a good life, so it was better to divorce early!"

Lin Qing nodded, expressing strong agreement. If Miss Li didn't divorce, that man would probably become even more brazen.

Wang Jiaojiao, who had been listening to them, suddenly spoke up, "After this man’s affair was exposed, it would definitely have some impact on their children. I guess Miss Li was also heartbroken by her two children!"

Possibly, but it's hard to say.

"Hey, wasn’t it silenced? Why did Miss Li choose to expose it then?"

Fu Huihui whispered, "I heard she didn’t actually hide it; she only said that to ensure a smooth divorce from that despicable man."

"What?" Is that even possible?

That’s so messed up?

"But after this got out, wouldn’t her ex-in-laws know she was the one who spread it?" Wang Jiaojiao asked.

Fu Huihui chuckled, "What does it matter?"

Exactly, what can they do?

It's already out there, the divorce is done, and she left with almost nothing. What can they do to her?

As the saying goes, when you’ve got nothing to lose, you’ve got nothing to fear.

Miss Li’s ex-in-laws are no match for her now that she’s got nothing to lose.

"By the way, Huihui, do you know which workshop that despicable man is in?" Wang Jiaojiao suddenly asked.

Lin Qing was a bit startled and joked, "Are you thinking of getting your dad to fire him?"

"Hahaha! You're not serious, are you?" Fu Huihui also laughed.

"No way! I’m just curious about who he is."

Fu Huihui nodded, "Got it!"

Lin Qing said, "I know, I know. That jerk manages Workshop 11, where about 80% of the workers are women."

"Oh, that workshop! Now I get it." Why did Wang Jiaojiao know? It's because she’d been in a funk lately and decided to check out the situation in other departments and workshops.

This workshop was the first one she noticed.

This workshop is known for having the most female workers in the factory, and the workshop manager seemed really nice too, making it a pretty good place to choose.

But now, hearing from Lin Qing that the despicable man was the manager she once thought was decent, she felt sick just thinking about it, ugh~

Fu Huihui, as part of HR, knew the details best, "That workshop is indeed about 80% women."

"Back then, someone in our department joked with Miss Li, asking her what she would do if her husband got seduced by a female worker in the workshop," Lin Qing said softly.

Wang Jiaojiao nodded, she had heard that too, "Some even guessed her husband was fooling around with a female worker in the workshop."

Lin Qing also nodded, "Yeah, who knew it was all a false accusation? He's actually not interested in women, no wonder he managed Workshop 11 so well—it’s all about the sisterhood!"

She burst out laughing, taking a sip of water and spitting it out.

Fortunately, she saw it coming and ducked just in time, so she didn't spray anyone else.

"Hahaha! That’s a perfect description—sisters, right?" Fu Huihui wiped her mouth and gave her a thumbs up.

Lin Qing blinked, was she off the mark?

I remember that man always dressed very meticulously, even cleaner than the female workers, and he had a bit of a feminine vibe. Isn’t he just one of the girls?

"You’re spot on!"

"Now I’m curious who his fling is. And what if he’s into other guys at the factory?" Lin Qing suddenly said.

Fu Huihui and Wang Jiaojiao: "Well..."

"What can we do if he’s into other guys?" Lin Qing sounded a bit anxious.

"Even if he’s into them, it’s no big deal. Just brush him off, right?" Fu Huihui said.

Lin Qing nodded, maybe, hopefully!
