She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 27: Chapter 027 I am that kind of person

“There, their daughter.” The middle-aged woman pointed at Shen Luhua standing in the crowd and said disdainfully, “Who else but their shameless big girl could say such things?”

Shen Luhua, who had originally just wandered over out of boredom, instantly became the target of everyone’s scorn.

“Old San’s wife, so your big girl has returned.” An ambiguous laughter immediately echoed around.

“That wretched girl is just like Widow Zhang, no wonder she dared to speak out!”

Shen Luhua’s face turned red with anger, “Shut up, all of you. Just love gathering to gossip, a bunch of gossipy women.” She had often heard people speaking ill of her stepdaughter before, but back then, the stepdaughter refused to call her mother, so to avoid dragging her younger daughter into it, she pretended not to hear.

But today was different. Since her stepdaughter called her “mother,” she had to be a proper mother. She had to stand up and defend her daughter’s reputation.

Cough, cough… although her daughter had no reputation to speak of in the countryside.

The surrounding people were stunned by her outburst and took a while to react.

“Who are you talking about? You remarried, and you still have the nerve to talk about others? I don’t think you’re any good either.” The middle-aged woman spat viciously, looking at Shen Luhua as if looking at something disgusting.

“Second Aunt Qin, you should watch your mouth.”

“Watch my mouth for what? Look at yourself. Don’t put on airs like you’re from the city. Sheng Laosan’s first wife was a sent-down youth from the city, too! Didn’t she end up running away with someone…” Second Aunt Qin was a famously shrewish woman with a sharp tongue that never lost an argument.

Her most glorious record was quarreling with her mother-in-law, sitting on a small bench at her door without eating or drinking, cursing for three days and nights. From eighteen generations of ancestors to her in-laws and her maiden family, no one escaped her curses.

In the end, she successfully angered her mother-in-law to death.

This glorious record remained unbroken for ten years and made her an infamous figure in the ten miles and eight villages that no one dared to provoke.

Shen Luhua’s face turned pale with anger, but she knew how formidable Second Aunt Qin was, and Ningning was friends with Second Aunt Qin’s daughter, so she was afraid of upsetting Ningning.

“Mom, are you alright?” Sheng An, who was playing with the village chief’s brat, heard the commotion from afar and came over with the village chief’s wife and the brat.

“Mom, why argue with people like her? Can you out-argue her?” Sheng An snapped, showing no friendly face.

She hated Qin Cuifen and, by extension, hated Second Aunt Qin even more.

“People like me? People like me? You stinking girl.” Second Aunt Qin knew Old San’s wife was no match for her, and she became even more aggressive.

“People like you, how would I know? Don’t you know yourself?”

“You stinking girl, don’t think that just because you’re connected to the town mayor, you can do whatever you want.”

“Ha ha ha… I’m doing whatever I want?” Sheng An sneered coldly, dragging Shen Luhua away, “Mom, let’s not bother with her.”

“Hey, don’t go!” Second Aunt Qin grew even more smug and was about to stop them when she saw the village chief’s wife standing next to Sheng An with a dark expression.

Qi Mei was short, and standing behind Sheng An, she hadn’t been noticed by many people. So they hadn’t realized she was there too.

Second Aunt Qin deflated as soon as she saw her, like a punctured ball.
