Gossip has a way of spreading, from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand. When many people talk, some words get twisted.
A couple who were on good terms with Jianguo encountered him on the street, hesitating to speak as they looked at him.
Jianguo noticed their expression and stopped, "Old Du, what's wrong with you and your wife today? If there's something you want to say, just say it."
Old Du pulled Jianguo aside and whispered, "Jianguo, you knew before you married Yuzhu that she had a daughter. I heard it was your idea to drive her away. Jianguo, she's just a girl, unloved by her father and mother. Don't be too harsh, leave her some way out."
The entire neighborhood was talking, saying Old Lin didn't want to acknowledge his stepdaughter, and Yuzhu, fearing her eldest daughter's presence would displease the Lin Family, also dared not acknowledge her.
That's why someone was found to drive the young girl away.
