Daily Life in the 70s

By the time Shen Yixiang and the others returned, Yang Peimin had guessed the rough outline of the situation, as all clues pointed to Huang Tao.

Shen Yiqiu couldn’t help but curse, "Has our family invited trouble from this Huang Tao or what? To do such a heartless act! We can’t just let her get away with this, take her to the team and see what kind of nonsensical accusations she has used to frame people!"

Shen Yixia spat toward the direction of the Li Family, "A rotten soul, just jealous of our younger sister, can’t bear to see her pregnant, huh? She could even bring disaster upon our family like this! Pah, luckily Ah Guang didn’t fancy her back then. Anyone who marries this black-hearted woman really is jinxed for eight lifetimes..."

Shen Yiqiu quickly pulled her back, reminding her to watch her words in front of Yang Peimin.

Only then did Shen Yixia realize her blunder and chuckled at Yang Peimin, "Look at me and my big mouth. That Huang Tao has some family ties with our old aunt, and they once tried to introduce her to Ah Guang, but he didn’t agree. She was dead set on marrying into the Shen family, shamelessly making several trips to our house, but Ah Guang had already returned to the army and didn’t even see her. I didn’t expect her to still be so jealous."

Yang Peimin nodded with a somewhat gloomy face, "I knew about this too, but really, I had not expected her to still harbor such thoughts. I used to think of her as just another ordinary neighbor who had visited our house a few times. It was only after she claimed that I had a health issue and could not have children that I drove her out..."

"What? She even had the nerve to come visiting? What was that about? Mom, you even let such a person in. Sister didn’t know about the previous incident, but you knew, why did you still associate with her?" Shen Yixia’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Chen Guizhi’s face turned red with guilt, and she looked at Yang Peimin apologetically, "It’s all my fault. It’s been so long, and I didn’t expect her to not let go."

"Sister, I’ve also encountered Huang Tao a few times. I know she can be quite persuasive. Mother isn’t a match for her, especially since she has ties with our old aunt and mother is too proud to snub her. Please don’t blame mom," Shen Yixia quickly jumped in, hoping to smooth things over between her and her mother-in-law.

Yang Peimin shook her head with a smile, "It’s all in the past now, and knowing the kind of person she is now is not too late." She didn’t want to dwell on the past. Mentioning it was just a hope that Chen Guizhi would take heed and not be too soft-hearted in the future.
