Sun Mei rushed into Xu's house like a madman.

"Xu Lei, come out here! You liar! You bastard, you deceived me so much!"

The throat-wrenching wail startled everyone in the compound.

"Oh my gosh, what's going on?"

"What's going on with the Xu family? Why are there so many people surrounding them?"

"It looks like a young woman making a scene."

"Go out and take a look."

"Grandma, you're not going to eat lunch?"

"Put it on the stove first..."

Everyone from the Liu and Ma families came out at once, and the two children from the Liu family even came out holding bowls...

Wang Ying's ears twitched, and she was ready to eat melons: "I..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Shuang hit him back: "You sit at the door and watch. You can't go out."

Wang Ying: …

Well, then I won’t go out.

Wang Ying leaned against the window and watched the fun with great interest.

Sun Mei's scream was so heartbreaking that even Xu Lei, who had spent a long time with her, couldn't hear it.

But even though he didn't hear it, Xu Lei knew that it was a serious matter, so he hurriedly hid in the inner room.

Go out? Go out for what? Waiting to be caught

Seeing her son's guilty look, Aunt Xu knew that something was wrong, so she stamped her feet and followed Zhang Yun out.

Zhang Yun naturally still remembered that she was a teacher. She went out with a puzzled look on her face. When she saw that it was a group of people, she managed to maintain her composure.

"Who are you? What do you want with my man?"

Everyone in the Sun family looked at Su Sanmei and Sun Mei.

Sun Mei cried and asked: "Where is Xu Lei? Call him out. He has lied to me for so long, he must come out and give me an explanation!"

Zhang Yun frowned: "Who are you? My man may not even know you, what explanation can I give you?"

She felt that these people were really ignorant. How could they rashly go to someone else's house to ask for an explanation? Isn't it ridiculous? If someone didn't know, they would think that her man had something going on with this woman.

Sun Mei only knows how to cry, which is considered useless by Su Sanmei.

Su Sanmei stepped forward, pulled her daughter away, and began to accuse her in a loud voice.

"How dare your family say that? Your husband lied to my daughter outside, saying that he was a cadre of the county committee and that his parents were high-ranking officials. He insisted on having a relationship with my daughter! My daughter didn't want to date him, but he kept pestering her! You are his wife, right? I'm calling your husband out! Our Sun family is not that easy to mess with! Your husband is cheating on both sides! He's having children on one side, and he's bragging about how great he is on the other side! Do you have any shame?"

Aunt Liu from the housekeeper's office, who wanted to come over to inquire about the inside story, said:

Su Sanmei held Zhang Yun tightly and refused to give in until she told him everything.

"Your Xu Lei is nothing! He said he was the son of an armed forces cadre and a deputy section chief of the county committee. He even pretended to be a deputy section chief of the factory affairs office. Bah! Fortunately, I asked someone and found out that there is no such department in the county committee! He is so good at pretending!"

The crowd watching in the courtyard: …

"Tell him to get out! A gigolo, how dare he cheat my daughter! A bastard with no conscience! Hey, come and take a look! Come and take a look at this family! A man who is a gigolo is cheating people outside. If we hadn't discovered this early, wouldn't this be pure hooliganism?"

"Everyone, come and judge for us! Are they going to be arrested and shot?"

Su Sanmei spoke so fast and so quickly that Aunt Xu and Zhang Yun couldn't find a place to interrupt.

By the time Su Sanmei finished her speech, the excitement in the compound had already attracted quite a few people.

Not only people from this courtyard, but also many from the neighboring courtyards came. They all gathered at the door to watch, and some who came late were eager to climb over the wall to watch.

"Wow, this is so lively, it's amazing."

"Xu Lei from the Xu family looks handsome, how could he be having affairs with other women?"

"Isn't it? I really can't tell."

"You can't help but see that. This guy sold his job to stay at home and eat his wife. It's obvious that he has no moral integrity."

"That's what you say, but isn't it too much? The food and drinks are all provided by Zhang Yun, and you still do this kind of thing. It's really too much."

"That's right. Just wait and see. He's involving two women at once. I'm afraid Zhang Yun will also make a scene."

Su Sanmei took the initiative and successfully put her own arguments above those of the Xu family, and also gave Zhang Yun a wake-up call.

Zhang Yun was stunned by the sudden hit of the stick.

Aunt Xu, on the other hand, remained calm. She put her hands on her hips and started to curse at him.

"What you said is bullshit! My son is a good person and would never do such a thing! What you said is the truth? Do you have any evidence?"

Aunt Xu glanced at Sun Mei, who was crying uncontrollably, with a vicious look: "I think your daughter is not a good person either. She might have come here deliberately because my son is good-looking! Whatever she says is true. I said it was your daughter who was a whore and ruined my son!"

"You're talking nonsense! Your son is a hooligan!"

"You're talking nonsense! Your daughter is a slut!"

"You're a hooligan!"

"You slut!"

The two middle-aged ladies stood with their hands on their hips and cursed at each other, but the two women in the main group didn't say a word.

Sun Mei just kept crying, while Zhang Yun had a blank look on her face.

Aunt Xu got tired of scolding and poked her daughter-in-law, saying anxiously, "Xiao Yun, don't listen to their nonsense. Don't you know what kind of person Xu Lei is? You two had a foundation of love at that time! If it wasn't for you, how could Lei Lei... You have to believe him!"

When talking about the past, Zhang Yun's eyes, which had originally dimmed, gradually became firm again.

Yes, if Xu Lei hadn't helped her in the first place, he wouldn't have lost his job... The two of them have come this far and have a baby. This relationship is unmatched by anyone else.

When Zhang Yun looked at Sun Mei again, she no longer looked at her with hatred as if she were an enemy, but with a strange kind of pity.

She helped Sun Mei up from the ground, and this action undoubtedly stunned everyone around her.

"My goodness, what is this for!"

"Zhang Yun got kicked in the head by a donkey, didn't she?"

No matter how much they whitewashed it, everyone could see that Sun Mei's family came to ask for an explanation. The young woman was crying like that, so it couldn't be because she was crying for her parents, right? Wasn't this proof that she had something going on with Xu Lei

Why is Zhang Yun still so calm

Wang Ying ate the melon with gusto, holding a plate of nuts and melon seeds in her hand, and did not forget to comment.

"Hey, how can this scumbag still have some charm? Even after all this, how can his wife not be angry?"

Facts have proven that everyone was careless, and Zhang Yun was more than not angry. After she helped Sun Mei up, she even looked sad and sympathetic.

"Comrade, I hope you understand that my husband and I have a very deep relationship. We are not the kind of couple who just get by, nor are we the kind of people who waste time on daily necessities. We are true friends who truly know each other..."

Everyone: … I haven’t even had lunch yet, why am I feeling a little nauseous

"Your methods can only hurt yourself. I don't know how you told your family, but for me, I will never doubt my husband."

Zhang Yun looked affectionate and proud: "Others don't know how much he loves me."

Everyone: …

Do you want to listen to what you said

Wang Ying also had a toothache expression, and turned to Xu Shuang to complain: "Is Zhang Yun's last name wrong? Her last name should be Wang..."

His surname is Wang and his courtesy name is Baochuan.

Under Wang Ying's increasing influence, Xu Shuang can now barely keep up with Wang Ying's train of thought.

He had heard Wang Ying complain before that Zhang Yun's personality was that of a person who likes to pick wild vegetables, and now he naturally knew that she was talking about the story of a woman named Wang Baochuan.

Xu Shuang walked to Wang Ying and looked outside through the window of her house. Her eyes paused when they fell on a person.

His expression also became somewhat playful.

Wang Ying didn't bother to look at Xu Shuang because the situation outside was tense.

After Zhang Yun expressed her attitude with such a sudden stroke of genius, everyone in the Sun family became agitated.

This is fucking perfect for you guys, right

Su Sanmei was so angry that she had difficulty breathing and couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to take action!

After hearing what Zhang Yun said, Sun Mei stopped crying and stood there with a pale face.

Zhang Yun thought that she had hit the nail on the head. She sighed in her heart and advised earnestly, "You are still young. I know Xu Lei is a very charming person, but you have to know that life is very long. You can't lie like this. Since you don't understand love yet, I won't pursue your fault. You should explain it clearly to your family."

Su Sanmei: …

She understands!

She finally understood!

This woman did it on purpose!

She knows that her man is a good-for-nothing, but in order to protect him, she pretends to be one!

Su Sanmei's eyes were filled with hatred. She had never seen such a shameless, sinister and vicious couple!

The husband is shameless and is a gigolo, and the wife is so shameless that she deliberately throws dirty water on him!

Su Sanmei yelled, rushed forward, pinched her daughter and asked, "Where's the letter? Where's the letter?! Take it out and show it to her! Take it out and show it to everyone!"

Sun Mei was shocked by the series of events. Out of her usual obedience to her mother, she tremblingly took out a stack of letters from her pocket.

These are the letters Xu Lei wrote to her, a total of more than ten letters.

Su Sanmei shoved the crumpled letter paper in Zhang Yun's face: "Did you see it? Did you see it? These are all love letters Xu Lei wrote to my daughter! Did you see them?"

Su Sanmei threw the letter around and slid it past the eyes of the people around her: "Did you see it? This is the love letter Xu Lei wrote to my daughter! Don't try to throw dirty water on our family!"

Su Sanmei said the last sentence viciously to Zhang Yun, who was instantly petrified.

Xu Lei, who was hiding in the house, felt something was wrong, and Aunt Xu was also stunned.

Love letter! The crowd instantly became lively.

"Hiss, this Xu family kid's grades were just so-so when he was in school, why does he like such sour things?"

"I'm still writing letters. Now I can't get away with it."

"Do you think Xu Lei will be sent to jail? Isn't this just a hooligan?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't think Zhang Yun would be so cruel."

Zhang Yun was indeed dumbfounded. Everything Sun Mei said could be false. Even if it was true, she would only comfort herself that it was just a small mistake made by Xu Lei.

But love letters...

Isn't that exclusive to you

Aunt Xu also wanted to speak to her son: "Xiao Yun, look at Dabao, how could Xu Lei do such a thing behind your back? Maybe the letter is fake! Yes, it must be fake!"

Zhang Yun murmured, "Really?"

"It must be true! How could Xu Lei write a love letter to someone else without telling you? That's all fake! It's not true!"

Zhang Yun paused for a moment, and the next second she pounced on Su Sanmei and snatched all the letters from her hands.

She searched for it on the paper eagerly, felt around on it, and stared wide-eyed to identify it.

finally…

Zhang Yun was crying and laughing like crazy. The content on the paper was actually a copied version of the love letter to her!

Even the pinyin of the words I don’t understand is exactly the same!

"Xu Lei! Get out here!"

Zhang Yun vaguely heard someone shouting. Who was shouting

Oh, it was me.

Zhang Yun heard her own furious voice penetrate the two houses: "Xu Lei! Come out! Come out and explain yourself!"

The people around were in an uproar. No one expected that such a lively event would be so dramatic.

Tang Min quietly asked her sister-in-law: "Isn't our mother in charge of the courtyard? Why doesn't she care?"

Her sister-in-law Ge Yue whispered, "Wait a little longer."

Such a good show, more exciting than a movie, she didn’t want it to end like this.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the real protagonist to appear.

After much anticipation, Xu Lei could no longer hide at home.

Zhang Yun was already on the verge of going crazy, and the people from the Sun family were watching covetously. Xu Lei was really afraid that they would make a bigger fuss.

At this moment, he also regretted it. What he regretted was not anything else, but how he got involved with Sun Mei.

He obviously just wants to find a woman to show off!

Why has it fallen to this point now!

As soon as Xu Lei showed up, he immediately begged for mercy and apologized: "Xiao Yun, I'm sorry. But you have to listen to my explanation, there is something going on here!"

Su Sanmei said with a sneer on her face: "Explain it, it's right here! Let us listen to it too."

Xu Lei: "...Auntie, if you have something to say, can you please come inside and tell me?"

Sun Mei looked at the man with a hurt face. They were so sweet together two days ago, but now this man was trying to please and beg for mercy just to keep his wife calm.

What kind of man is this!

Zhang Yun: "Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

No matter how smart Xu Lei is, he is clueless about the current situation.

Why? If he lied to Zhang Yun, he would be exposed by Sun Mei. If he kept Sun Mei stable, Zhang Yun would be out of touch.

I can only ask the heavens in silence, what went wrong! How could Sun Mei see through the flaw and come back home!

At this time, there was an old man in the crowd who was squinting his eyes and watching the excitement. He was watching with great interest when suddenly someone pushed through the crowd and came over and said something in his ear.

Old Man Song: "Haha, this is even more interesting."

Now that I’m old, I just like to watch the fun with others.

What’s more, there is such a big commotion happening right in front of us.

Xu Lei couldn't handle the two women, and Su Sanmei saw that the situation was almost over, so she wanted to find a way out and start discussing compensation.

She had played the villain enough, and now it was Sun Mei's father's turn to play the villain.

Sun Mei's father: "Xiao Xu, you must give us an explanation for this matter. Shall we go to your house to talk?"

Xu Lei cursed inwardly, the main part of the play had finally arrived.

After all this, isn't it all about money

Okay, he gives money!

But don't think he can swallow this!

Damn it, sooner or later he will be sold to the mountains by that stinky woman Sun Mei!

The Sun family took the initiative to lower their tone, and the situation seemed to be turning around. Just when everyone thought that this was the end of today's farce.

Zhang Yun spoke.

"Xu Lei, right here, if you don't give me an explanation, we'll get divorced!"

Everyone:!!!

Aunt Xu's eyes widened: "Xiao Yun! How can you say that! How did Xu Lei get hurt for you? Don't you remember?"

Zhang Yun smiled sadly: "I remember, so I want a divorce. Love cannot tolerate any sand in the sand. Since he wrote a love letter to someone else, it is equivalent to breaking up with me. Don't worry, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. I won't sue him, I just want to separate from him. Love is gone, what else can I do but separate?"

Aunt Xu's mind went blank. Even when Su Sanmei made a fuss just now, she had never had such a headache.

What does Zhang Yun mean? Just for a few letters, she plans to abandon the man and the child? Willing to divorce? How can she divorce? ! After the divorce, who will support her family's food and drink expenses? How will Dabao grow up? What is she talking about love or not? What is love? My family found her just to find a meal ticket, and they even put on a show for this. You give up for such a thing, are you still a human being

Zhang Yun wiped the tears from her face and said, "Alright, that's it. I'll come back tomorrow to get a divorce from Xu Lei."

Zhang Yun didn't show any reluctance to stay, she just got up and left.

Leaving behind everyone with a look of excitement on their faces.

Hiss, I haven’t seen such a dramatic drama in a long time!

When Old Man Song saw Zhang Yun leaving, he quickly pulled a young man over and gave him a few words of advice.

"… So, you go now, and it would be best if you could explain it to Zhang Yun before she gets to her parents' home."

The young man nodded and ran quickly to catch up.

Old Man Song looked at Xu Lei with a gloomy face in the crowd.

Haha, you want to spend money to ward off disaster? No way!

Zhang Yun ran away, and the rest of the people also dispersed.

After all, everyone from the Sun family had already entered the house, so the following matters obviously had to be discussed behind closed doors.

After watching the excitement, Aunt Liu had a complicated expression on her face.

The management of the institute she runs is really not peaceful.

A few days ago, the two families had a fight, and now someone came to the Xu family's house. It caused a big fuss, and now they are getting divorced again.

It's really unpredictable, and everything changes.

Wang Ying was amazed and exchanged opinions with Xu Shuang.

"I think it's a good thing that Zhang Yun is getting divorced."

"Look at how she works at the Xu family. She's busy all day long, like a farmhand. It's obviously a good job as a teacher, but she has to work around the clock all day long. It's really hard for her."

To be fair, Wang Ying couldn’t say that she liked Zhang Yun, but she couldn’t say that she hated her either.

Zhang Yun seems a little difficult to get along with, but she is much better than other people in the Xu family.

Aunt Xu always took things from this family and that family, and she was justified and had no guilt. Zhang Yun felt embarrassed every time she borrowed soy sauce and vinegar. Even if she acted like this because of her noble character, she was better than Aunt Xu.

Her son Xu Dabao is a naughty kid who is spoiled by everyone in the family. Only Zhang Yun would punish him.

Wang Ying concluded: "It would be great if we could get divorced!"

Zhang Yun is one of those who can still be saved, but the rest of the Xu family cannot be.

Xu Shuang hummed.

The excitement at the Xu family ended soon. The people at the Sun family didn’t know how the negotiations went, but they were still anxious.

At this time, Xu Shuang's noodle soup was ready, with roast pork on the noodles and dried shrimps and chives floating in the soup. The green chives, the bright red soup, and the noodle soup evenly divided in the bowl made people's appetites grow.

Wang Ying was just about to start eating when an uninvited guest arrived.

Aunt Xu knocked on the door and Xu Shuang went to open it. As soon as the door was opened, Aunt Xu was overwhelmed by the fragrant aroma.

She took a deep breath and looked at Wang Ying jealously: "Wang Ying, do you have extra noodles at home? Give me some, we need them to entertain our guests."

I am so angry, this couple can't live like this! How can they eat so well before the New Year

Wang Ying picked up the noodles and said, "No, Auntie, we only made two bowls, one for Xu Shuang and me."

I owe you? Why are you begging for food so confidently

Aunt Xu snorted: "Then ask Xu Shuang to make some more for us? The kind you eat."

Wang Ying looked puzzled: "Auntie, are you still asleep? Didn't I tell you before that you shouldn't ask my family for food? My family doesn't have that much extra food to send away beggars."

Aunt Xu was so angry that she fell backwards. She hated all these neighbors, especially what happened today!

With so many people from the Sun family coming, if these neighbors could help say a few words, her family’s situation would not be so passive.

This is a close neighbor, not as good as a distant relative!

They can't help, so why can't they give them something to eat

Wang Ying was too lazy to fall for her tricks and signaled Xu Shuang to close the door.

Aunt Xu blocked the door and finally said reluctantly: "I'll pay!"

It was those people from the Sun family who were arrogant and took advantage of their family's shortcomings to have a good meal, so she came to ask. She originally thought that Xu Shuang would just do it, but these two people were still so unkind.

Wang Ying laughed: "You won't do it even if you pay me, Auntie. Aren't you making us Xu Shuang make a mistake? I advise you to go out and buy it now. It's not even dinner time yet."

Xu Shuang slammed the door shut.

Aunt Xu was so angry that she cursed a few dirty words outside.

Wang Ying didn't care about her and poured some balsamic vinegar around the edge of the bowl. The sour aroma was fragrant, the noodles were chewy, and the soup was fresh and fragrant.

Wang Ying saw that Xu Shuang was a little absent-minded and asked, "What's wrong with you? I just saw that something was not right with you."

Xu Shuang picked up two more noodles for Wang Ying and said, "Didn't you notice anything?"

Wang Ying was stunned: "What?"

Xu Shuang sighed: "The one crying on the ground just now was the one who came when we got married. Don't you remember her? Sun Mei? My cousin."

Wang Ying: … Now I remember that when I got married, there was a cousin who looked up to me. It turned out to be the one outside.

"I was wondering why she looked familiar. If she is your cousin, then her mother must be..."

Xu Shuang nodded: "Yes, it's my third aunt."

Wang Ying was shocked. This was really a common occurrence in life.

Xu Shuang had said before that his third aunt had gone into the city, but he didn’t expect this to be the case!

"Your third aunt... well, she doesn't look very much like our mom."

Xu Shuang: "It's good that she didn't recognize me. I don't want to have anything to do with her."

Wang Ying made a gesture of understanding. She knew about it. Xu Shuang had said that his third aunt was a picky person and had tricked her mother-in-law into going to the city to work as a maid.

Well, there are old grudges.

"Who cares? Even if she knows, what's the use? Mother-in-law will come after the New Year."

On the other side, Zhang Yun was walking on the road in a daze.

She didn't know where she was going.

Go back to your mother's home

I’m afraid my parents don’t know whether they will accept her.

Going to school

The school has been closed for vacation for a long time.

Zhang Yun sadly discovered that she had nowhere to go.

She sniffed and prepared to walk towards her parents' home. It was so snowy and icy that she didn't even wear her cotton-padded jacket when she went out.

I'm so cold.

I was walking on the road when a person quickly caught up with me from behind.

"Zhang Yun!"

He was a young man wearing a dog-skin hat.

This person looked familiar, but Zhang Yun couldn't remember who he was.

The young man was not vague and said a lot to Zhang Yun.

"I'm your neighbor... I have something to tell you."

"In fact, all the neighbors know about this, but they just kept it from you. Did you marry Xu Lei because he saved your life?"

Zhang Yun was shocked: "You, you you..."

"Don't be stupid! What Xu Lei was injured and went to the hospital because of you, and he had to sell his job to get treatment. He lied to you! At that time, he got into trouble and got injured first. In order to soften your heart, he deliberately found someone to block your way and pretended to be beaten. If you don't believe it, go find that person, his identity is fake!"

Zhang Yun:!!!

Young man: "Don't tell anyone that I told you that!"

After saying this, the man disappeared into the crowd.

Zhang Yun slowly clenched her fists.
