The entertainment reporter nodded. Auntie Guo was a person who knew how to handle things. If there was any gossip, she would get someone to share as together!
Anyway, the entertainment reporter was not in a hurry. Jiang Xun and Vknown’s livestream rooms were even less anxious.
The fans had already opened the peanut seeds one after another and were ready to eat them.
Auntie Guo did not even need to knock door to door. She just stood outside and shouted, “Big Sister Qiao! Big Sister Hu! Jiang Xun is back! Jiang Xun is back to seek justice from the Luo family! Come out and take a look!”
Hearing what Auntie Guo said, what did the fans in the livestream room not know?
[Auntie Guo said Jiang Xun is back to seek justice. It seems that the Luo family was really abusing Jiang Xun.]
With Auntie Guo’s shout, the door of the house next to Auntie Guo’s house and the houses on both sides of the Luo family opened.
Three couples walked out.
Auntie Qiao and Auntie Hu weren’t the only ones who came out with their husbands. The neighbors who lived next to the Luo family’s house, Auntie Huang and her husband, also came out.
“Aiyo, Big Sister Guo, why didn’t you call me when such a thing is happening?” Auntie Huang complained as she walked over. “Fortunately, my ears were sharp enough so I came out.”
“My bad, my bad.” Auntie Guo quickly slapped her own mouth.
When the uncles and aunties saw Jiang Xun, they reminisced for a while.
With so many people together, they reminisced for 15 minutes.
The fans urged, [Uncles and Aunties, let’s reminisce later. Let’s talk about the gossip first!]
[If we don’t talk about it, the Luo family will close their doors!]
At this moment, the village party secretary took the lead. “Let’s go in and talk. Don’t stand in front of the door.”
With so many people going in together, Auntie Qiao and the others were filled with the power of the working people. They pushed Huixian away, and Huixian could not stop them.
As they walked, Auntie Guo said, “I still remember that Jiang Xun was sent here when she was seven years old. The poor thing. After so many years, not a single family member came to visit Jiang Xun. Last year, Jiang Xun suddenly did not return. Only then did we know that Jiang Xun had been brought back to the capital by her family.”
“At that time, we were thinking that in the past 11 years, Jiang Xun’s family hadn’t come to see whether she was doing well or not. Even if they brought Jiang Xun back, would they treat her well? As long as their family came to visit Jiang Xun, even once a year, the Luo family wouldn’t dare to treat Jiang Xun so badly,” Auntie Qiao added.
“I remember it clearly. Every New Year’s Eve, the family would happily watch the New Year’s Gala at home, set off firecrackers, and Jiang Xun would wash the clothes in the yard,” Auntie Huang said. “Isn’t it said that we should wash all the clothes on New Year’s Eve because we can’t do it on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Their family didn’t even allow Jiang Xun to use the washing machine. They said it was a waste of water, so they took a big basin and let Jiang Xun sit in the yard to wash.”
“They didn’t give her hot water, and they said it was a waste of electricity. The winter is cold, and Jiang Xun was wearing plastic gloves and was shivering from the cold. I asked why she had to wash in the yard. Even if they thought it was a waste of water and electricity, wouldn’t it be warmer if she washed the clothes in the house? Guess what this family said? They said that washing in the house was too loud and it would disturb them from watching the New Year’s Gala!” When Auntie Huang mentioned this, her face turned red with anger.
“I won’t use our washing machine to help them wash their clothes. Why should they save water and electricity, and our family be the spendthrift? But I really pitied this child. Every time after she finished washing, I let her come to our house to warm up and eat something. I helped her hang the clothes,” Auntie Huang said. “I’m not some kind person. I won’t do any work for this family. This was the only thing I could do for Jiang Xun.”
“Auntie Huang, I’m already very grateful for what you did. Compared to what the Luo family has done for me, what you’ve done is enough to make me feel warm,” Jiang Xun said with red eyes.
Jiang Xun had never experienced this before, but she really felt sorry for the original owner.
Auntie Qiao wiped away her tears, “This family doesn’t even give Jiang Xun food for New Year’s Eve. After Jiang Xun tidied up and went to the table, there was only the bottom of the plate left on the table. How could Jiang Xun eat a bite? One year, after she finished her work, it was already past 12 o’clock. Our dumplings just came out of the pot, so we let her have a taste. When I saw how Jiang Xun ate, she was really hungry. After asking, I found out that she hadn’t even eaten. I hurriedly gave her a plate of dumplings. This child didn’t even dare to eat too much. She didn’t dare to eat until she was full. She was afraid that if she ate too much, she would be looked down upon by us.”
How could the fans in the livestream room continue to silently watch?
[No wonder Jiang Xun’s appetite is so big now. She’s afraid of being hungry.]
[No wonder Jiang Xun always condemns the act of wasting food. No matter how much there is, it has to be eaten clean.]
[I really didn’t expect that Jiang Xun had never eaten a full meal since she was a child in the current society.]
[No wonder she was so thin in the photos. Even if she ate steamed buns and pickles, as long as she was full, she could at least grow some meat. She couldn’t even eat until she was full.]
