Certainly, at this moment, the vicinity of the red-brick house was not only populated by the villagers of Little Lin Village. There were also people from Daqing Village and Chen Village. Like Gu Zi and her group, they had come to visit relatives.
The three villages were primarily made up of the Su family in Daqing Village, the Lin family in Little Lin Village, and the Chen family in Chen Village. The villages were close and had deep roots, with intermarriage and migration being common occurrences. Within these three villages, any three or four households could trace some familial or historical connection. It was perfectly normal for everyone to visit relatives during the New Year.
However, a portion of these people, upon seeing the Su family, especially when they saw Gu Zi, couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves. They looked at Gu Zi as if she were some detestable villain, their eyes filled with hostility, as if they wished they could tear her apart.
“This is the ungrateful biological daughter of the Lin family. She’s indeed beautiful, even more so than her mother was in her youth. But in my opinion, a woman’s beauty is useless if she lacks kindness and consideration. She’s incapable of such qualities. It’s a pity for the Lin Laoyao’s family, they only had one son, and she sent him to jail. It’s outrageous!”
“Isn’t it? Technically, Lin Laoyao is her uncle, and Lin Jie is her cousin. What benefit does she gain from Lin Jie being in jail? Why did she have to send him there? Now, our Little Lin Village hasn’t produced a single college student, but we have one more criminal. This is a disgrace to our village.”
“Exactly, I heard that Lin Laoyao and his wife are so worried that their hair has turned white. They can’t eat or sleep well. Their once peaceful home has been destroyed. And she has the audacity to show up here, acting as if she owns the place. She’s heartless! I’m not like those who fawn over her just because she married a rich man. I wouldn’t associate with such a person, no matter how wealthy.”
In rural areas, relationships are highly valued. After Gu Zi sent Lin Jie to jail, many people in the village gossiped about her, thinking she was too cold and heartless. Now, seeing her return in her husband’s car, looking so prosperous, it only further irritated those people. They couldn’t help but belittle Gu Zi.
As the conversation heated up, others who knew about another incident also began to speak up. They weren’t afraid of her rich husband. No matter how wealthy or capable Su Shen was, they wouldn’t need a penny from him. Why should they flatter him?
With this mindset, their voices grew louder, as if they were afraid others wouldn’t hear them.
“Do you know what happened recently? Lin Miao was arrested at her own wedding. It seems that she was involved in a theft of gift money. I heard that she was deliberately framed by her sister. Who else could her sister be but Gu Zi?”
Upon hearing this, many who were previously unaware were shocked. Lin Miao was in jail, and it was Gu Zi’s doing!
No one cared about why Lin Miao was in jail. Their focus was on the fact that Gu Zi had put her there. They ignored the words “it seems” from the original statement and immediately assumed that Gu Zi had harmed Lin Miao and sent her to jail. The gossip grew louder.
“Isn’t there a thing called human decency? She’s too cruel. Even if she doesn’t care about Lin Miao, shouldn’t she consider her foster parents? They raised her for eighteen years. They finally found their biological daughter, only to have her sent to jail. Regardless of the reason, is this how she repays kindness with enmity? It’s terrifying!”
“I think the Lin family is quite scary too. They watched their daughter make so many mistakes and did nothing. An Yun and her husband lived with Lin Miao for many years. Don’t they have any affection for her? Can’t An Yun plead for her foster daughter?”
“Gu Zi is terrifying in many ways. Remember when her sister-in-law, Su Jing, returned to the village? She left soon after, seemingly driven away. I suspect that Su Jing had no place in the Su family and had no choice but to leave. Su Jing is not one to compromise easily. If she was driven out of her own home, it shows how ruthless Gu Zi is.”
“That’s too much! Su Jing is an unmarried woman. She broke up with her boyfriend and returned to her parents’ home. Isn’t that normal? Gu Zi couldn’t even tolerate that and drove her away. Who does that?”
