Chapter 410 The Greatest Insult to a Woman
"Lin Ping, I won't see you off. It's not far from the school, so please take a bus home by yourselves and be careful."
"Hey."
Yi Yunshuo stepped forward and said, "You guys are busy, but I am. I'll deliver it for you."
Lin Yuyao nodded hurriedly, "Then I'll give you the car keys, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Fu Leyi held a roll of film in her hand, waved it, and smiled as she said, "I recorded it. Grandpa said he wants to see it. You don't mind, do you?"
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, thinking to herself, "You've already finished recording, what else is there to mind?"
Besides, the annual party isn't something shameful.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Leyi to deliver it to him."
“Ah Yi doesn’t get a holiday during the Lunar New Year, so you can’t go back. They want to see you. Even if they can’t see you in person, they can still see the film.”
After everyone else left, they all returned to Chenshan Town together.
Fu Huaiyi drove their car and took Yi Yunshuo and the others back to their barracks.
Lin Yuyao drove the bus she bought for the magazine and took Ye Xiaotong, Liu Yihuan, and Luo Yanni back home.
Zhou Jing lives in the same neighborhood as her, so they can just go home together.
Fortunately, they weren't checking for overloading at this time, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to transport all those people.
When they got off the bus, Tingting was already asleep in Zhou Jing's arms.
Zhou Jing struggled to carry her out, and still had to fetch things.
Lin Yuyao quickly got out of the car and helped her get it.
Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Her dad will be back in a few days, then I'll be relieved."
Her husband gets a vacation once a year, which lasts for more than two months. In fact, it's about the same as a regular working person.
But they earn a lot.
With room and board included, you can earn several thousand a year.
Lin Yuyao took her bag and followed her upstairs.
As soon as I went upstairs, I saw someone squatting at the door.
Hearing footsteps, the person slowly raised their head.
It was Zhou Jing's mother-in-law.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
Zhang gave her a cold glance, then stood up, leaning against the wall.
Perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, his blood circulation was poor, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
This infuriated her.
"What happened to you? Where have you been all day? Did you go out to see some other man? Why are you only coming back now?"
Zhou Jing's expression changed, and she angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I took Tingting to the annual meeting today, and Yuyao is here. She can testify to that."
Zhang also knew Lin Yuyao.
Lin Yuyao said, "Yes, Sister Zhou has been with me the whole time."
"Who else is there besides the two of you?"
"People from the bookstore, the magazine, and..."
"Yuyao, there's no need to explain to her."
Before Lin Yuyao could finish explaining, Zhou Jing interrupted her.
She sighed wearily and said to Zhang, "Please step aside, I'll open the door. Tingting wants to sleep."
Seeing Lan Tingting sleeping in her arms, Zhang felt quite pleased.
They deliberately blocked the doorway and raised their voices considerably.
"No, you're not getting in here today unless you explain yourself clearly."
"you……"
At this moment, Tingting was woken up and was restlessly turning over in bed.
Turning her head, she saw her fierce-looking grandmother, which frightened her so much that she hugged Zhou Jing tightly.
"Mother."
I'm already awake.
Zhou Jing was worried about waking Lan Tingting, so she didn't dare to speak loudly.
Seeing that the old woman's unreasonable behavior had woken Tingting up, he no longer held back.
After putting Lan Tingting down and handing her over to Lin Yuyao, Lin Yuyao immediately rolled up her sleeves and went to drag Zhang Shi away.
She was young, and Zhou Jing was tall and strong, so she easily pulled Zhang away.
Zhang was so angry that she slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh dear, this is terrible! The daughter-in-law is hitting her mother-in-law!"
As soon as she made a fuss, all the neighbors came out.
I'm really fed up with this old woman. They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public.
She's just stirring up trouble; she creates family scandals even when there aren't any.
Zhou Jing pushed Lan Tingting and Lin Yuyao into the house, while she blocked the doorway to prevent Zhang Shi from entering.
"Yuyao, I need to trouble you for a while today. Please look after the child for me."
Lin Yuyao nodded.
After arranging the children's affairs, she turned to look at Zhang, ready to fight her.
"Tell me, what are you trying to do all day?"
"Why should I give it back? I'm asking you, you're coming back so late, have you been out fooling around with some random guy?"
He was insulted time and time again, and he had to prove himself time and time again.
The more she tried to prove herself, the more they smeared her. She was exhausted.
Zhou Jing sneered, "Since you dislike our Lan Xu so much, let me ask you, did you steal him from somewhere?"
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone in the neighborhood knows that I was born at home as Lanxu."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? All my colleagues know that I brought Tingting to the company's annual meeting today."
The neighbors suddenly realized that the daughter-in-law had gone to her company's annual meeting and returned late, which led to her mother-in-law's misunderstanding.
"It's good that you've explained it clearly, ma'am. There were female colleagues with them too, so don't say things like that."
“Pah! You believe her just because she says so? Let me tell you, my son works on a ship and is usually at sea, only coming home once a year. When he's not home, this woman is all alone. What woman can stand being alone? If I don't keep an eye on her, she'll probably cheat on me.”
In this day and age, slut-shaming a woman can drive a weak-willed person to the brink of mental illness, or even to their death.
Zhou Jing's mother-in-law probably wishes she were dead.
Fortunately, Zhou Jing was no pushover either. She was spirited and fierce. When she heard the old lady spreading rumors to the neighbors, she grabbed the old lady's hair from behind, pulled her over forcefully, and then slapped her twice across the face.
"You have such a foul mouth, you can't even speak properly. I might as well just tear it up for you."
The neighbors who were watching the commotion were stunned.
Zhang was also stunned.
Lin Yuyao looked at them in surprise.
Zhang sat down on the ground and threw a tantrum, kicking her legs and shouting that God would strike Zhou Jing dead with lightning.
Hitting one's mother-in-law is unfilial.
Zhou Jing calmly told her neighbors, "My husband is most likely someone she stole, so I, as his mother, can't stand him having a wife and daughter. Whenever he's home, I try to persuade him to divorce me so he can use all the money he earns to support her eldest grandson. And now, my husband is coming back soon, and she's starting to cause trouble again."
Seeing that Zhou Jing was completely ignoring her, Zhang cried and said she would call the police to arrest her.
"I want people to judge whether someone as unfilial as you deserves a divorce."
Zhou Jing: "Okay, go call the police."
She pointed across the street and said, "Go out the back door, turn left, walk forward 300 meters, then turn right and walk 500 meters to the police station. Hurry up."
"You...you think I wouldn't dare?"
"I bet you don't dare, otherwise why haven't you gone yet?"
Zhang: "..."
She couldn't win a fight, she couldn't win an argument, and none of her neighbors even spoke up for her.
Finally, Zhang threatened to call the police and left.
Only after she left did everyone start talking.
“Zhou Jing, your mother-in-law is just jealous of money. Your husband earns a lot, and you didn’t give birth to a son. If you give the money back to her, it’s no wonder she’ll cause trouble.”
