The cold towel applied on Liu Haiying's face made her gasp in pain. The more painful it was, the more aggrieved she felt. She was so angry that she couldn't help but complain loudly, "It's all that damn Kang Xiaoqiao's fault. Wu, it's all her fault. If my man didn't hear the rumors outside, why would he come back and find trouble with me? Wu--"
"She's a woman who came up to me. Why is she so arrogant? I said she was wrong? Wu, she actually poured dirty water on me. I definitely won't let her off, I definitely won't let her off..."
"Aiyo, it hurts so much, it hurts so much--"
"Wu, the pain I suffered today is all because of her. If I see her again, I definitely won't let her have a good time. Aiyo, be gentle..."
Zhao Xiulan helped her wipe her face while feeling disdainful in her heart. This person was really not afraid of losing face. She still ran out after being injured like this, as if she was really afraid that others wouldn't know.
She was kind enough to help her wipe her face, but she still despised it. Her heart was filled with annoyance, but her face did not show it at all. She continued to comfort her, "You have an injury on your face. If you touch it, won't it hurt? It will heal after a while."
After saying this... She blinked her eyes and said, "However, Sister-in-law Liu, let me advise you. It's better to keep things quiet. This matter is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, won't you be the one to suffer? Xiaoqiao is still young and has no filter. If you continue to take it seriously, you will be making a fool of yourself."
"Why do you have to make such a fuss with her? We are all living in the same family courtyard. If the leader finds out about this, it won't be good either. Your Captain Chen is still a practical person. When the time comes, you won't be the one who will suffer. So, you'd better calm down."
Zhao Xiulan advised her earnestly. The surrounding people also felt that what she said was reasonable, so they praised her for being sensible again.
However, the more Liu Haiying heard, the angrier she got. She angrily pulled down the towel that had just been applied to her face and said with a huff, "What do you mean? Do you mean that Kang Xiaoqiao is justified in spreading rumors?"
"Why should I tolerate her and let her go? I, Liu Haiying, am upright and straightforward. If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it. Why should she slander me? No, I can't take this."
The more Liu Haiying acted like this, the more Zhao Xiulan laughed in her heart. She didn't forget how Kang Xiaoqiao had scared her yesterday. At that time, she didn't think much about it and thought that Kang Xiaoqiao had just said it casually. However, she couldn't fall asleep at night no matter how hard she tried. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Kang Xiaoqiao had done it on purpose. She had deliberately embarrassed her, deliberately scared her, and made her lose face.
Therefore, Zhao Xiulan had been angry since early in the morning. Now, although it seemed like she was advising Liu Haiying out of kindness, in fact, she knew this person quite well. She couldn't tell if she was lying. All she had to do was to belittle her and flatter Kang Xiaoqiao. This person's temper was probably going to flare up.
Zhao Xiulan had calculated the first day of the Lunar New Year, but she didn't calculate the fifteenth. She originally thought that since Liu Haiying had already said so much, she should at least take some action. In the end, it made people's eyes drop. This person turned around and started crying again.
"Wu... Sister-in-law Wang, believe me. I really don't have any feelings for Unit Lu. He's a few years younger than me. Besides, my son is already so old, how could he have such thoughts? I said that about Kang Xiaoqiao purely to fight for Unit Lu!"
"Is it wrong for me to uphold justice? Wu... Sister-in-law Wang, Sister Xiulan, and sister-in-laws, you all believe me. Wu..."
"We've been together for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am? Wu... It's a pity that my husband didn't listen to my explanation and insisted that I went out to sow discord. How did I sow discord? which part of what I said wasn't true?"
"She, Kang Xiaoqiao, is used to putting on an act. She relies on her good looks, but how can she pretend to be pitiful? Bah , she's not a good person. She doesn't have any good intentions. If I see her again, I'll definitely tear her mouth apart..."
Liu Haiying cried and scolded as she was in pain. When the people around her heard what she said, they also felt that she was quite pitiful. After being beaten up like this, they indeed felt some sympathy for her.
Of course, this person didn't include Zhao Xiulan. When she saw Liu Haiying's cowardly appearance, she despised her endlessly. She had originally hoped that she would cause some trouble, but in the end, it was really useless.
Humph, the two families were neighbors. At that time, the sound of their quarrel was very loud. Zhao Xiulan heard it clearly. At that time, Liu Haiying did not say that. Not only did she refuse to say it, she also said that Captain Chen had feelings for Kang Xiaoqiao, so he helped her? Otherwise, how could she be beaten up?
She deserved to be beaten up, but she thought so in her heart, but she could not say so in her mouth. Everyone spoke one after another, but no one advised Liu Haiying to resist or complain. If she was beaten up, she would be beaten up. What else could she do?
This was how society was nowadays. It was said that women should hold up half the sky. However, the status of women was still very low, and domestic violence was common.
However, it wasn't called domestic violence now. These two couples lived together, and there was no one who didn't quarrel. If they fought, everyone would be used to it.
It was just that Liu Haiying's family was more serious. Detachment Chen was also at fault, but this slap wouldn't make a sound.
Just as Liu Haiying was spouting nonsense, a clear voice was suddenly heard.
"Sister-in-law Liu, were you talking about me just now? Whose mouth are you going to rip off?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was standing behind everyone. Her big black and white eyes seemed to be able to speak. They were bright and spirited, and she looked like a proud peacock. She raised her chin and looked at everyone with a faint smile.
Although her clothes didn't change much and she was still wearing the old clothes that had been washed until they were white, they were clean and refreshing from top to bottom. They also emitted the smell of soap. Although it didn't smell good, the soap had to be bought with money.
The people in the family courtyard had long heard about how wasteful Kang Xiaoqiao was when she washed clothes. The main thing was that Kang Xiaoqiao had changed her hairstyle today. In addition to her temperament, she looked as if no one knew her.
As soon as Kang Xiaoqiao said this, the people who were comforting Liu Haiying were all stunned. Even Liu Haiying herself was stunned. No one had expected Kang Xiaoqiao to appear at this moment.
Everyone was stunned for a long time. Zhao Xiulan had mixed feelings at this moment. She clenched her hands tightly. Kang Xiaoqiao was even more beautiful than before. More importantly, this person's ethereal temperament was like the stars supporting the moon wherever she stood. And she was just a supporting role. How could she be willing to do that?
Similarly, she was the fastest to react. She quickly ran to Kang Xiaoqiao's side and pulled her anxiously, "Sister Xiaoqiao, you heard wrong. Why would Sister Liu say you? It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously."
