Chapter 44 Getting Beaten Up, Making a Scene
CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44 GETTING BEATEN UP, MAKING A SCENE
The eldest son of the Sun Family being transferred out of Beijing to support the branch factory was already set in stone.
But once he left Beijing, it wouldn’t be easy to return. After Ma Guiqin, the eldest daughter-in-law, had a big fight with her mother-in-law, she was so angry that she went straight back to her parents’ home.
Before they could catch their breath, the office for educated youths once again visited their door.
Previously, Sun Xiaoyan had that temporary job, so the staff from the office for educated youths didn’t want to offend anyone. Now, however, she was completely unemployed. With Sun Ruiming also emerging as a "bad element" in the family, she naturally couldn’t do as she pleased.
After the staff from the office for educated youths left, Sun Xiaoyan saw that no one in her family would speak up for her, so she angrily ran out of the house.
When she saw members of the Wei Family at the Chu family’s home, her jealousy peaked. "Why are you here?"
Father Wei, Wei Qiguang, was unaware of the entanglement between Yunyi and the Sun Family, so he didn’t conceal the truth. "Yunyi went to the countryside," he explained, "and we’ve temporarily rented the house from her."
The Sun Family had always had designs on the Chu family’s house. Now, faced with this outcome, she harbored extreme hatred for everyone who had ruined her plans.
She didn’t dare provoke the Wei Family, and even less so vent her anger at the place where Sun Ruiming and Su Aiyu were detained. Instead, she turned and ran to Su Aiyu’s house.
If it weren’t for Su Aiyu clinging to her third brother, the Sun Family wouldn’t have become the neighborhood’s laughing stock, she thought.
Once at the Su family’s home, she went on a rampage, venting her frustrations. When the Su Family realized what was happening, they wouldn’t tolerate her outrageous behavior. They pinned her down and gave her a sound beating.
Yunyi didn’t have to think hard to guess the kind of chaos that must have unfolded in Beijing.
Anyway, she had avenged the original host and Mr. Chu. Now, all that was left was to live her own life well, Yunyi mused.
「Beijing, the Second House of the Ye Family.」
As soon as Ye Wenhui got home, she started complaining, "Mom, Ye Wenjuan has really gone too far! Do you know what she did a few days ago?"
Shi Jingfang, seeing her daughter all puffed up with anger, was amused. "What did she do that’s made you so furious?"
Ye Wenhui was livid. "Our eldest cousin pulled some strings to secure Wen Yue a place in the cultural troupe. When someone came to deliver the enrollment form, Ye Wenjuan happened to be at Grandpa’s.
The person delivering the form didn’t recognize Wen Yue. Just as Grandpa and Wen Yue had gone to the backyard to pick vegetables, Ye Wenjuan intercepted the form.
But she didn’t hand it over to Wen Yue. She acted as if nothing was amiss, then turned around, filled in her own name, and submitted it!"
Shi Jingfang looked astonished. "How could she dare do such a thing?"
Ye Wenhui’s eyes were full of disgust. "Whenever I said anything about her before, none of you believed me; you always lectured me! This is no small matter. Now let’s see who can still make excuses for her.
If our eldest cousin hadn’t returned from his assignment and gone to the cultural troupe to see Wen Yue, this whole thing might have gone unnoticed!"
Shi Jingfang’s expression was grim. "So, how was this matter dealt with?"
Ye Wenhui said with a sneer, "Our eldest uncle was furious, and Third Uncle’s face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.
Third Aunt was still there, playing the victim and pleading for Ye Wenjuan. She said that since they were all Ye family members, they shouldn’t blow the matter up and that they were willing to compensate Wen Yue.
But Eldest Aunt didn’t agree. She said the spot in the cultural troupe was incredibly hard to get and couldn’t just be given away like that.
Later, it was Third Uncle who, with a stern face, declared that Ye Wenjuan had to return the spot to Wen Yue.
Ye Wenjuan even shamelessly tried to refuse, but Eldest Uncle showed her no leniency. No matter how much she pleaded, he wouldn’t agree."
After listening, Shi Jingfang was furious. "Your Third Uncle has truly had abysmal luck for lifetimes to be saddled with her!"
There were some things she couldn’t say in front of her daughter. But in her heart, she truly couldn’t stand Zhang Baoxiang. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Baoxiang’s scheming back then, how could her husband’s younger brother possibly have married that woman?
