Back at the Yu Family's home, Suizi was using a pair of pliers to crack hazelnuts, having already filled half a container.
"How did you know that Qian Jun's mother would gossip behind your back?" asked Yu Jingting.
"A coward like her, so concerned with appearances. After taking such a big hit from me yesterday, she's bound to want to save face. Even if she doesn't say anything today, she will vent tomorrow."
Suizi deliberately orchestrated the situation so that Jiaojiao would hear, even though she didn't know if Qian's mother was gossiping behind her back. Still, the opportunity would eventually arise.
If Jiaojiao didn't hear anything this time, Suizi would continue with her plan until she caught her fish.
"Even if Jiaojiao couldn't hear it first-hand, the neighbors would eventually pass the word along. Adults seldom shield children from their conversations. As long as one of Jiaojiao's classmates catches wind of it, it'll eventually reach her ears."
