The matchmaker returned to the Sun family and recounted everything before leaving. The news about Sun Yuwei's arranged marriage with a blind man quickly spread.
What a pity for that girl, Xiaowei!
Who can argue with that? The Yin family has brought this upon themselves; they’ve ruined a perfectly good girl!
Shh! Don’t let the Yin family hear you; otherwise, they’ll definitely cause us trouble! Now that they’ve got connections with the deputy factory director, we can’t afford to mess with them!
Look, isn’t that Yin Zhiqiang’s mother? What is she doing at the Sun family?
How would I know? It can’t be anything good; let’s go take a look!
Oh, I heard that Yuwei is going to meet a blind man for an arranged marriage? I told you, after breaking up with my Zhiqiang, that girl wouldn’t find a good match again!
Unlike our family—just after breaking off the engagement with your wayward girl, the deputy factory director’s daughter came knocking on our door!
Our family will just wait to enjoy the blessings from Zhiqiang!
Get lost! Our family doesn’t welcome you! Sun Muqi picked up a broom and began to chase them away.
Yin Zhiqiang’s mother was hit a few times and driven out. Furious, she exclaimed, “Your little hussy has already been ruined by someone else; what are you so proud of? As if I wanted to come to your house! Who knows what diseases your little hussy might have?”
Sun Muqi trembled with anger. She grabbed an iron shovel nearby, ready to fight back. Yin Zhiqiang’s mother was frightened and quickly ran back inside, slamming the door shut!
The Yin family is truly despicable; they’ve harmed Xiaoyu Wei so much, and yet she dares to come here and say such hurtful things!
Exactly! We’ve lived next to them for so long and never realized they were such people!
Hmph! They get carried away when they have some success; their time of misfortune will come! From now on, let’s keep our distance from them.
At lunchtime, Shazhu stood at the food distribution window, intently watching the queue. When he spotted Qin Huairu, his eyes lit up. Soon, Qin Huairu approached his window. Shazhu immediately pushed the serving staff aside and filled a lunchbox with food for her. He then handed her two large steamed buns.
Qin Huairu took the lunchbox and food without a second glance at Shazhu, who was beaming at her. She walked away without paying or showing her ticket.
Hey! Qin Huairu, you haven’t paid or shown your ticket yet!
The serving staff shouted at Qin Huairu.
Stop shouting; I’ll cover her meal costs! Shazhu quickly intervened to stop the staff from calling out. Hearing Shazhu’s words, Qin Huairu continued on her way.
Oh, Shazhu, being so generous today—paying for Widow Qin’s meal! Why not cover my meal too? The people in line behind him began to tease him.
I say, Li Damao, you’re dreaming if you think she’d pay for you too; you’re not even in Sister Qin’s league. Unless you send your daughter over instead—then maybe it would work out!
Get lost! My daughter can afford her own meals; she doesn’t need others to pay for her!
Hearing these words, Qin Huairu quickened her pace, secretly cursing, "You foolish Zhu, what are you shouting about? Can't you just pay the money quietly? Just wait and see!"
Zhu was also angry now. He banged on the table and shouted, "Do you all still want to eat? Hurry up!"
As he approached the few people who had just stirred up trouble, his hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease, and by the time he finished serving, only a few leaves of vegetables were left in the dish!
