Zhang Lanzhi and Yao Ruanqian are good sisters. Gu Lingling is a child she watched grow up. Although not born from her womb, this child has had a pitiful life since childhood, and Zhang Lanzhi treats her like her own daughter.
Now, seeing the little girl grow step by step to where she is today, and even finding such a good husband, Zhang Lanzhi would be lying if she said she wasn’t emotional.
Although she hasn’t seen much of Yang Yunhai, ever since he came in just now, this cold-faced man’s gaze has constantly been on Gu Lingling.
Moreover, Zhang Lanzhi noticed that Gu Lingling was holding a bracelet woven from wildflowers, while Yang Yunhai was carrying a basket in his left hand, and carefully protecting Gu Lingling with his right.
From a small detail, you can tell if a man truly cares about you.
Zhang Lanzhi couldn’t help but think of her own daughter, Gu Jiajia.
Last December, Gu Jiajia married the son of her husband Gu Hongjun’s comrade, and now they live a truly affectionate life.
If it hadn’t been for Gu Lingling’s reminder back then, Gu Jiajia would have married into the Zhang Family in the city, and married Zhang Fulai.
Zhang Lanzhi shuddered at the thought of something she heard a few days ago.
Since their family ultimately refused Zhang Fulai’s proposal, the Zhang Family decided to find a bride for Zhang Fulai in neighboring Beishui Village.
As a result, the couple has been married for two years now and still have no children.
A few days ago, she ran into the women’s director of Beishui Village, and they chatted, talking about how the bride Zhang Fulai married recently ran back from the Zhang Family.
"That Zhang Fulai is useless," the women’s director of Beishui Village said softly, "not only is he useless, but he also loves to mess with weird things, torturing that poor girl. Tsk tsk... it’s just unbearable to look at."
They were both women’s directors and had seen some perverse things, but to make the women’s director of Beishui Village show such an expression, it must have been something unusually perverse.
"When her family took the daughter back, she was originally a lively girl, but now she’s just dumb and silly," the women’s director said regretfully. "I always wondered why city folks would come to our village to find a bride, there must be something wrong."
Zhang Lanzhi was absolutely shocked and terrified by what she heard.
Fortunately, back then, the Zhang Family just sent someone to propose, and she refused. Otherwise, this story might have spread.
At the same time, she felt incredibly grateful.
Thankfully, she listened to Gu Lingling’s advice back then, thought it over, and didn’t marry her daughter off, otherwise she would be the one crying now.
"So, how is their family doing now?" Zhang Lanzhi asked cautiously.
"What else? They’re clamoring for a divorce," the women’s director said. "Otherwise, how would I know about this?"
"Divorce is good," Zhang Lanzhi said.
Since she knows Zhang Fulai is such a beast, there’s no reason to let her daughter continue to suffer.
"Sigh... if only that girl had open-minded parents," the women’s director sighed. "But they are money-grubbing, otherwise why would they marry their daughter into the city, if not for the bride price?"
"Now they’re stirring up so much trouble just to get more money from the Zhang Family," and that daughter will definitely be sent back.
The women’s director gave Zhang Lanzhi a knowing look.
Zhang Lanzhi, "..."
If she had married her daughter to Zhang Fulai back then, would she also be perceived as a money-grubbing parent?
But even more terrifying events were yet to come.
The girl, knowing her family still wanted to send her back to the Zhang Family, took the opportunity to commit suicide when they weren’t paying attention.
Now, the two families are still entangled in disputes.
