Wang Keru fanned herself: "Oh, that’s just because the wives of my eldest and second brothers are living worse than pigs and dogs, while the brothers are enjoying themselves."
Old Wang’s face froze a bit, but he nodded in agreent.
After a while, she showed so concern about her daughter’s marital issues. Wang Keru stayed silent, but the old lady, having seen the world, guessed they were harmonious from her radiant appearance and stopped asking.
In the afternoon, Chen Jinfeng visited. She hadn’t been staying here lately, only coming because she heard there were guests, bringing so homade local specialties. Wang Keru invited her to stay for dinner.
After dinner, Chen Jinfeng left, and the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Wang Family expressed their disdain: "Keru, why do you keep hanging out with the help and even dine with them? You didn’t used to be like this."
Wang Keru wiped her lips and smiled: "Anxi really likes her osmanthus cake, and she is also here in Beicheng with us, taking good care of Yuntian."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Wang Family suddenly said: "I heard that Shen Wanqing’s mom was a maid in your house. Could it be her? They look quite alike."
Wang Keru was unaware of the complexities and smiled: "Yes, she’s Shen Wanqing’s mom. Sister-in-law, do you know Wanqing?"
The eldest sister-in-law gritted her teeth: "Know her? Of course, but... if you’re talking about close terms, that’s more your eldest brother’s area."
Wang Keru wasn’t naive, the words were clear enough. She glanced at Wang Kefu, who was drinking, pretending not to understand. The eldest sister-in-law pulled on his ear: "You missed the chance to call soone mother-in-law."
Wang Kefu put down his glass: "Alright, alright, is this the place for your nonsense?"
Tears welled up in the eldest sister-in-law’s eyes: "Wang Kefu, you’re so good at bullying . Your woman’s mom hangs around in front of and I can’t say a word?"
Seeing her becoming more unreasonable, Old Wang spoke up: "Enough, you two should close the door and argue at ho. This is Keru’s house. Besides, that woman here is just the help, not so Miss Shen’s mom."
Gu Yuntian smiled: "Dad’s words make sense."
He looked at the eldest sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, if you have grievances, talk to her daughter, not vent it on her. This woman is a pitiful soul. Her daughter hardly cares for her."
He then looked at Wang Kefu: "Eldest brother, be warned. If she’s like that to her own mother, imagine how she’d be to others."
Hearing this, Wang Kefu felt a little uncomfortable inside.
Gu Yuntian didn’t think much of him, but these words hit ho... That woman was really miserable, just an ordinary woman working here, not at all like an artist’s mother.
And Shen Wanqing, she was so glamorous... Just from him, she had gotten several million, not enough to ensure her mom doesn’t live like this?
After Gu Yuntian finished speaking, he didn’t say more. He and Wang Keru just didn’t want Shen Wanqing’s issues to affect an innocent woman. Over ti, they had co to understand that Shen Wanqing was heartless, wishing she didn’t have this mother, let alone being filial.
On the other side, Chen Jinfeng was about to head to the bus stop after leaving, when she bumped into soone in the dark.
She recognized her and covered her mouth: "Wanqing?"
She went over to hold her hand, looking her up and down...
At that mont, she only knew she was rescued but hadn’t had the chance to see her. Now she finally did.
She began to cry: "Wanqing, are you back to see your mom?"
