The argunt upstairs is still going on, growing more and more intense.
"They say there’s no smoke without fire. If one or two people say sothing, I might let it go, but when everyone in the courtyard is quietly discussing it, how do you expect to believe you?" An Hao shouted angrily.
Her voice was bright and high, clearly audible downstairs.
"Can you lower your voice? Scared others can’t hear? I’ve explained to you so many tis, Yunong was only here to help! Why don’t you understand? She’s been taking care of our kid for so long! And the elders! Done so much, even if others aren’t considerate, shouldn’t you be? Yet you’re also speaking behind her back! An Hao, you’ve changed!"
"Taking care, but even coming to the house! And when I’m not here! Is she trying to take over my nest? I tell you, Qin Jian, I haven’t changed a bit! No woman can tolerate another woman waltzing into her ho when she’s not around."
The noise inside was lively, and the downstairs listeners were entertained too.
Next door neighbor Liao Ting, hearing the quarrel, ca out of her house and pressed herself against An Hao’s door to listen.
Wang Zhong saw her like this, full of disdain, "Isn’t this great? Your mouth couldn’t keep shut! Now the whole world knows and the couple is fighting!"
"What do you know? I was just giving An Hao a heads up. Luckily, it was found out early; if discovered later, this family might have already been taken over by Yuan Yunong."
"Enough, stop listening!" Wang Zhong tugged at Liao Ting’s hand, trying to pull her ho.
"Don’t touch ! I need to keep listening!" Liao Ting held onto the door firmly, refusing to let go.
Wang Zhong got furious seeing his wife behaving disgracefully, and angrily, he yanked her away, carrying her like a sack of flour over his shoulder back ho.
"Hurry and fetch the child for ! If you dare to ss up picking up the child, see if I won’t hit you! Don’t think I won’t!"
Kindergarten was out.
Liao Ting ran all the way to the school.
She arrived just in ti to pick up the child.
Spring weather was pleasant, neither cold nor hot. The teachers brought the children to the kindergarten gate, allowing the parents to line up to pick them up.
Liao Ting saw Wang Xiaohu co out and squeezed forward from the back of the crowd, managing to get to the front.
Though they hadn’t been living here long, everyone knew Liao Ting’s temperant.
Out of respect for the n of their families, they didn’t argue with her.
As Liao Ting tried to push further, Zhang Yun turned around and glared at her, "Liao Ting! Should I give up my first place as well?"
Liao Ting quickly waved her hands, "No need! Auntie, once you’ve picked up the child, hurry ho! Your house is about to catch fire!"
"What?" Zhang Yun was startled, "Is my house on fire?"
"The situation is worse than fire! Your son and daughter-in-law are fighting! The thermos and cups are falling from the window!" Liao Ting said.
"Impossible!" Zhang Yun refused to believe it, "Qin Jian and An Hao wouldn’t fight."
"If I’m lying, I’m a puppy! Pick up the child and hurry to see."
Yuan Yunong just happened to bring a pair of children over and ca to the gate, overhearing Liao Ting’s words.
"Your son and daughter-in-law are arguing over Teacher Yuan! An Hao is really angry this ti!" Liao Ting slanted her eyes, just happening to see Yuan Yunong standing there, and continued, "They’re fighting fiercely! Might even end up divorced!"
