Chapter 14: not easy

Yan Ruxu nodded: "It should be her, and she did it on purpose, but I don't know whether her hatred for me is because I didn't lend her money or what." Sister Liu's expression and movements at that time were repeated in slow motion in her mind. Countless times, it confirmed her judgment even more.

After a short pause, Aunt Hua said: "After the notice of returning to the city, our family is very happy. The whole family is like New Year, put on the best clothes, and go to the state-owned restaurant in the county to celebrate. When I got home at night, I found that the door was wide open, and the clothes and quilts were thrown into the yard, with big footprints on them. I asked the neighbors, and they all said they didn’t know who did it.” Aunt Hua With a wry smile, "Later, a neighbor who has a good relationship with me secretly told me that it was done by an educated youth who took root in the local area."

"Because we can go back to the city, but he can't go back, he's jealous."

"That person is also from the capital city. He usually calls aunt and brother, and the relationship is not bad, but when jealousy arises, he ignores it and does things that harm others and benefit himself." Aunt Hua sighed, her expression was a little bit Disappointed.

Yan Ruxu smiled wryly: "Jealousy usually happens to acquaintances, but I don't even know her."

Aunt Hua said: "Thinking of it this way, when she came to me, all she asked about was your situation. I guess she noticed you as soon as you moved here, and she knew you well from one side."

Is this concern? This is peeping!

Yan Ruxu touched the back of his head unconsciously, it was cold there.

"It's scary," Yan Ruxu said.

Aunt Hua didn't know what she thought of, she also rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, recalling Sister-in-law Liu's appearance in her mind.

She was quite impressed with this man. His face was sallow and thin, his hair was grizzled, and most of it had fallen off, revealing a red scalp. His face was sallow and thin, with severe forehead wrinkles, two front teeth were missing, his back was slightly crooked, and his finger joints were thick. Been very tired.

When she first saw Sister-in-law Liu, Aunt Hua felt very sympathetic, thinking that if she hadn't been lucky enough to find an easy job with Yan Ruxu, she might have looked like this.

When she first moved here with Yan Ruxu, she also wanted to establish a good relationship with her neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Yan Ruxu is an orphan and widowed, so if something happens, she can find someone in time come to help.

She also lives in a large courtyard. Facing the environment of the large courtyard with many people, noisy conversations, and many conflicts, she thinks she has fully understood it and is comfortable with it. She feels that she can help Yan Ruxu establish a good neighborhood relationship.

But it was slowly discovered that some people, including Mrs. Liu, approached her to inquire about the affairs of Yan Ruxu's family.

With the neighbors in her own courtyard, she can talk about her family's affairs without any scruples, but she can't reveal the slightest bit about the master's house to others. This is the principle of her nanny, and because this is the bottom line that Yan Ruxu can't touch.

When some people in Baolai Hutong couldn't get anything out of her mouth, they began to say sour words, intentionally or unintentionally provoking her, saying that she was a current person, that she was an old woman in the old society, and that the times were different and the exploiting class Started to stand up again Yunyun.

Fortunately, she seldom goes in and out of Baolai Hutong, out of sight and out of mind.

Later, for some reason, the news that Yan Ruxu was a divorced woman spread in Baolai Hutong, and someone came to confirm with Aunt Hua, who said something sour, and who expressed regret but actually laughed or lamented, wanting to give Yan Ruxu a sigh of relief. How to introduce the object...

Among them was this sister-in-law Liu, who couldn't hide the trace of schadenfreude hidden under her fleshy skin. When she faced Aunt Hua, her stooped back straightened.

That Aunt Hua was angry and hated, but she was more apprehensive, lest Yan Ruxu would suspect her and she would spread the word, so she didn't dare to have any contact with the people in the courtyard. At the same time she was apprehensive, she was also hesitating, thinking that she had to tell Yan Ruxu, and she had to be mentally prepared first, so as not to be unable to accept the heartbreaking words suddenly. However, this may be a thankless effort, and it may aggravate his suspicion. The best way should be to pretend to be stupid.

However, if she pretends to be a fool, her conscience can't bear it, and after struggling, Aunt Hua still chooses to remind Yan Ruxu.

When Yan Ruxu heard about it, she didn't have such a big reaction as she had imagined. She said, "Aunt Hua, I know you didn't tell the story. We've known each other for so long. I still have some trust in you. ,Thanks for reminding me!"

After hearing that, Aunt Hua almost cried. A word of trust is sometimes worth a thousand words.

When Yan Ruxu was planning to change this house, he was already mentally prepared.

In an organizational unit like a newspaper office, there are no secrets, because no matter whether marriage or divorce needs to be approved by the agency and a letter of introduction is issued, if one person knows, it means that the whole society will know.

The original owner is now living in the staff building of the agency, and her divorce is an enduring gossip in the newspaper, and she will know about it sooner or later. The original owner is not obliged to keep the secret for herself, and it is only a matter of time before her word of mouth spreads to Baolai Hutong.

Yan Ruxu just lamented that word of mouth spread too fast.

Yan Ruxu stopped thinking about making Kangkang and his friends in Dazayuan good friends, and didn't want him to listen to words that seemed innocent but killed people like blunt knives at a young age.

But I didn't expect that even if there is no injustice or enmity, you alone can become the original sin and be hated for no reason.

Yan Ruxu: "When I think that there is such a person who secretly hates me and is ready to make small moves at any time, I can't feel at ease. If I am myself, I will forget it, but there is Kangkang. I am afraid that they will not be able to calculate me. , put the idea on the child."

As she spoke, Yan Ruxu felt a chill in the back of her head spread to her back, and she realized that her sense of fear was actually heavier than she thought.

Aunt Hua looked at her, her eyes were full of worry, and she said, "You can't just sit like this, do you have any ideas?"

The author has something to say:

Kangkang: My mother is afraid that I will be hurt. I wish I had a father!
