I hardly knew Comrade Su, but she was like a mad dog, constantly biting at without letting go. First, she spread rumors that I didn’t like people coming to my house to watch TV, saying that whenever I saw soone watching TV at my house, I’d look disgruntled. Then she started sowing discord, dragging into it...
Doesn’t everyone know about these things, one after another? Even if you weren’t clear about past incidents, today she ca at out of nowhere, spouting nonsense. If you were , what would you do?"
Su Man kept cursing.
Seeing that the people around had stopped talking, Kang Li curled her lips into a smile, "Look, everyone, just look. Isn’t this just like a mad dog? Calling base, shaless, and brazen, accusing of being promiscuous. I just want to ask, how am I base? How am I shaless? And how am I brazen? I’m promiscuous, where’s the evidence?"
With a sharp, icy look in her eyes, Kang Li gazed directly into Su Man’s eyes at that mont, "Speak up, tell everyone the facts. Just how have I been base, shaless, or brazen? And how am I supposedly promiscuous?"
"Wen Yue and her sisters are your kids. What gives you the right to be nice to them and talk nonsense about in front of them, saying things against ? That day, did you or did you not take two young n into your house, and didn’t you all not leave the entire afternoon?"
Today really was her unlucky day. Su Man didn’t know why her brain swelled upon returning from her parental ho. Seeing Kang Li, she lost her reason and lashed out with those words.
But now regret was utterly useless. She could only stand her ground, and even if it ant making things up, she was determined to pin those despicable words on that damn woman.
Kang Li chuckled, "True, Wen Yue and her sisters are indeed your children, but what’s that got to do with being kind to them? Since when has it been wrong for an elder to treat children with kindness?
As for your claim that I’ve been bad-mouthing you in front of Wen Yue and her sisters, let’s call the three sisters out right now. In front of everyone, we’ll ask Wen Yue and her sisters if I’ve ever said any ill of you to them."
Her gaze shifted towards Fang Ju, "Sister-in-law, please help call out Wen Yue and her sisters."
"Sure."
Fang Ju agreed without concerning herself with Su Man’s raving and stepped through the gate of the Wen Family Courtyard.
Shortly after, the three Wen sisters walked out hand in hand. Trailing behind them, Fang Ju helped Wen Yue carry her little brother in her arms.
Addressing the Wen sisters with a gentle expression, Kang Li asked, "Yueyue, tell everybody. Has Aunt Kang ever spoken ill of your Auntie Su to you?"
"No, Aunt Kang has never said a bad word about Auntie Su to and my sisters. Last Chinese New Year, Auntie Su left us at ho. I got burned by hot water, and Aunt Kang took and my sisters to her place. She not only carefully applied ointnt to my hand but also cooked noodles for us. Before we went ho, Aunt Kang advised not to bother Auntie Su, to listen to her, and not to be willful anymore so as not to make Auntie Su angry and distract Dad at work. My sisters and I admired Aunt Kang’s dexterity in braiding Vivi’s hair,
so during the sumr vacation, we often visited Aunt Kang’s place. Seeing that we admired Vivi’s braids, she braided one for us, too... I’m telling the truth. No matter who asks , I would say the sa thing."
As Wen Yue finished speaking, Wen Yi said in her childlike voice, "We go to Aunt Kang’s place to play with Ruirui, Hanhan, and Vivi."
