Gu Lingling naturally didn’t mention the incident at the factory gate to Old Sir Gu.
Even though Old Sir Gu despised Wang Meili, she was still the widow of his deceased elder son.
Besides, such matters are not something a young girl like her can bring up.
Wang Meili has been unfaithful? Not just with one person, but several!
She feared that bringing it up would anger Old Sir Gu.
Moreover, it would affect the feelings between her and her grandfather.
A subtle hint was enough, people were patient. Old Sir Gu wasn’t a fool like Old Mrs. Gu; could he not see the truth?
Which is why he sighed heavily once more.
Initially, he didn’t want Old Mrs. Gu to follow Wang Meili, after all, she was his wife, and he couldn’t bear seeing her being manipulated by Wang Meili.
But at that time, Old Mrs. Gu was determined to side with Wang Meili, and the things she did one by one chilled Old Sir Gu’s heart.
Forget it, forget it, he’d better stay out of it, lest it make his grandchild feel bitter.
This time, although Gu Chunhai was traveling within the province, it involved several locations and took a few days. The first thing he heard upon returning was about Wang Meili.
Although Gu Chunhai had no substantive relationship with Wang Meili, she was still his sister-in-law.
And just as Gu Lingling thought, Wang Meili was quite capable.
The reason she didn’t stop Zhang Hongling from making trouble at their door every day was because she was waiting for the right moment. In the beginning, everyone felt sorry for Zhang Hongling, so they sided with her to criticize Wang Meili.
But then, something didn’t seem right.
This brouhaha didn’t solve anything, and the insults were atrocious, disrupting the lives of the neighbors, and the children were learning foul language!
"Sister Zhang, I beg you." Wang Meili saw that the time was right, and when Zhang Hongling came again that day, she came out.
She was haggard and frail, obviously hadn’t rested well for several days.
But it was understandable, given the situation, the factory also suggested she stay off work; how could she sleep well? The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
"I’m also deeply saddened by Brother Li’s situation, let’s discuss this properly at the factory, our home is here and I assure you I won’t run away."
"I trust the factory will provide a reasonable solution, but our neighbors have nothing to do with this, how can we face them in the future?"
As Wang Meili pleaded desperately with Zhang Hongling, her words evoked sympathy from the neighbors, and their grievance against Zhang Hongling grew.
"Resolve what? The factory will always favor a whore like you."
"I’ve already stated my solution, if we don’t get it, this will be daily, who told us orphans and widows have no reliance."
"What, Li Jiang is dead?" As Zhang Hongling spoke, someone immediately shouted.
The person next to her chuckled and replied, "Don’t curse them, Li Jiang is in the hospital alive and well, be careful you might get into trouble if something happens."
Although Wang Meili’s reputation wasn’t great, she had been quite good to the neighbors since moving here, and was generous.
But Zhang Hongling managed to offend all the neighbors as soon as she opened her mouth; her antics were merely an attempt to extort Wang Meili, not to solve anything.
"Sister Zhang, I beg you." Wang Meili was desperate, knelt in front of Zhang Hongling, "I’ve taken leave, Brother Li wanted to earn more for the family... I know you’re grieving, but we are orphans and widows..."
Wang Meili cried in utter misery, her tears streaming as she kowtowed, her forehead soon reddened.
Gu Chunhai arrived just in time to witness this scene.
