Anyone who can live nearby and become familiar neighbors with the Xu family is certainly not an ordinary person.

The husbands of these women are basically well-known figures in Qinghe City, such as the chairman of the trade union, the director of a state-owned factory, the deputy mayor, the deputy secretary...

Although they are gossipy, they also know who not to offend.

Therefore, as Qin Sumei approached, they immediately stopped calling her "fat woman", "country bumpkin", "illiterate", "bumpkin"...

He just speaks polite words.

"Congratulations, sister-in-law/sister Qin will have a good life in the future. The third child is getting married, and she will have a grandson next year."

Not a single word was mentioned about the heroine of the wedding banquet, the fat and ugly new bride from the countryside who came to marry into the family.

If they didn't mention it, Qin Sumei would naturally not make herself unhappy. She just smiled and thanked them, "Thank you, everyone. I'll borrow your good words."

But there are also those who don't know how to live or die and just look for trouble.

For example, Li Hongxiang, the wife of the director of Qinghe City No. 2 Textile Factory.

He deliberately came up to Su Yuanyuan and asked directly, "Sister-in-law Xu, the wedding is about to start, why hasn't your new bride come out yet? I heard she's from the country? You're not going to let her come out to meet people just because she's from the country, are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole living room fell silent.

The guests, near and far, all showed stiff and awkward expressions.

Li Hongxiang? Haven't seen her for a while.

Qin Sumei paused slightly, recognized the other person, and frowned subconsciously.

I don’t think she invited this family?

Looking at the person next to Li Hongxiang, Qin Sumei had a basic idea in her mind.

It seemed like someone didn't want her to have the wedding smoothly and came to cause trouble.

Qin Sumei's mood suddenly dropped to its lowest point in recent days.

But Qin Sumei's place is not a place where anyone can cause trouble. Since you dare to come, you'd better skin her before you leave.

She looked at the other person with a smile, but her smile was cold and did not reach her eyes.

"Oh, excuse my ignorance, who is this lady?"

"you--"

Li Hongxiang was angered by her calling her "big sister".

Although Li Hongxiang followed her husband in calling Qin Sumei "sister-in-law", she was actually a few years younger than Qin Sumei. She was the second wife of the old director of the textile factory. The old director was almost sixty years old, while she was only in her early forties.

She is younger than Qin Sumei, but looks older than Qin Sumei. How could she not be angry when she hears the word "big sister"?

Angry? That's right!

With new grudges and old grievances, Qin Sumei was afraid that she could not make this guy angry to death, so she continued to attack him without any courtesy.

"My husband's eldest brother is in Beijing. I don't remember that there is another eldest brother in my husband's family. Please don't call your younger brother and sister-in-law relatives."

As she spoke, she glanced at the other person with contempt.

"Come to think of it, I don't think we invited this person to our evening banquet? This boss is really something, how can he not be careful when welcoming guests and let in all sorts of people!"

Generally speaking, everyone who was invited received advance notice from the Xu family to express their apologies... The new daughter-in-law is not in good health, so she may have to be rude and not show up this time, so we hope you will forgive us.

Who would be so rash as to ask this question?

"you you--"

Before Li Hongxiang even started to make a scene, Qin Sumei rebuked and humiliated her, nearly driving her crazy, "Who are you calling a cat or a dog?"

Qin Sumei seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, "Whoever responds should be the one to respond~"

Li Hongxiang: “…”

It can be said that Qin Sumei and Li Hongxiang have been holding a grudge against each other for a long time.

A few years ago, Li Hongxiang was attracted by the family background of the Xu family and wanted to marry her daughter to Xu Jianshu, the second son of the Xu family. However, Xu Jianshu was not interested. Qin Sumei also felt that her son was too young at the time, only sixteen, and there was no need to rush to find a partner, so she directly refused.

The rejection was too straightforward, so Li Hongxiang felt that the Xu family looked down on her and were trying to embarrass her on purpose, so she began to hate the entire Xu family.

From then on, they secretly spread rumors about the Xu family, saying that the Xu family was arrogant and that Qin Sumei acted like a capitalist lady and looked down on ordinary working-class families.

Some people who didn't know much about the Xu family's situation actually believed her and went to complain to the Xu family after hearing her words. But those who knew a little understood that she just couldn't stand Qin Sumei and was jealous of her.

After all, Xu Jianren, the eldest son of the Xu family, married a girl from an ordinary working-class family.

That girl's family conditions are not as good as Li Hongxiang's.

What she had arranged was simply not true.

However, everyone can understand Li Hongxiang. After all, who dares to say that they are not jealous of Qin Sumei?

At that time, anyone born into a capitalist family would suffer misfortune, but Qin Sumei lived a stable and wealthy life and even joined the Women's Federation.

It was said that her family was some kind of red capitalist, with some big shots backing them up. Anyone who went to her house to cause trouble without knowing the consequences would be punished, either on the spot or afterwards.

Before liberation, when everyone was in dire straits, she went abroad to study. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she returned to China and married the young and promising Xu Jiahe.

There has never been a hard day.

Let alone anything else, just look at Qin Sumei's face and you will know. She is obviously a woman in her forties who has given birth to three sons, but she looks only in her early thirties.

She is young and beautiful, her family is wealthy, her son is filial and her husband loves her, and she is also the director of the Women's Federation.

This perfect life is probably the only one of its kind in the world. How can it not arouse jealousy?

This time, the Xu family's most beloved youngest son got into bad luck and was taken advantage of by a fat, ruffian country woman. Those who had disliked Qin Sumei for a long time woke up from their dreams with laughter for several days.

Even those who are not jealous would sigh in private that God is fair after all.

The most excited person was Li Hongxiang.

Well, the Xu family didn't invite her to their wedding, but she just followed others and tried to find a way to watch the fun.

The people from nearby houses knew about the old grudge between Qin Sumei and her. Seeing that she was looking for trouble and getting confronted, no one stood up to say anything for a while.

However, the big sister next to Li Hongxiang, Wu Lian, who was in her fifties and the wife of the municipal party secretary who had just moved into this family housing estate half a year ago when she took office, immediately came out to speak up for her.

"Sister Qin, you are a guest. Today is your son's big day. How can you treat a guest who comes to congratulate you like this? This is so rude."

Qin Sumei glanced at her with a half-smile, "Is it rude? I thought it was rude to bring someone who is not welcome to the host's house and eat and drink for free."

Wu Lian was speechless.

How could she not hear that this was her yin and yang?

Li Hongxiang, wasn’t she the one who brought her here?

However, she didn't expect that Qin Sumei would be so disrespectful to her in front of so many people.

There was a sudden look of displeasure on her face.

Li Hongxiang was furious and rushed forward to hit someone, "Who the hell is eating and drinking for free? Qin Sumei, you bitch! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Several sisters-in-law nearby quickly stopped the man.

They couldn't afford to see her hurt Qin Sumei.

Wu Lian looked at Li Hongxiang, who was only concerned with making trouble without thinking, and frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

He acted ashamed and explained to Qin Sumei.

"Well, it seems that I meant well but ended up doing something bad. I saw that your family was in a hurry and was afraid that you might have forgotten to notify anyone, so I brought Hongxiang here. I really didn't know that you two couldn't get along."

"Sister Qin, you won't be angry with your sister-in-law for this, right?"

She wanted to make Qin Sumei angry and turn against her regardless of the consequences, but Qin Sumei was not stupid.

She was insincere, so Qin Sumei just pretended to be nice to her.

"Of course not, Sister Wu. Ignorance is not a crime. But I am really going to be rude today. A thief dog has accidentally entered our house and disturbed the peace of the guests. I have to beat this beast out first. Please wait a moment, I will come to greet you after I am done."

Wu Lian: “…”
