Chapter 192 Found Out
The woman said defiantly, "But you can’t live together before marriage, can you?"
"Hmph, we did what we’re not supposed to do before getting married, so stop saying what’s pointless!"
The woman didn’t dare say more but still felt resentful. She was always one to take advantage, and it’s obvious Sun Chan’s family is wealthy. They throw away a lot of food—vegetables, eggs, fish—but never think about sharing some with us. My son is still in school and needs to strengthen his body. The last time I asked for some cabbage, they only gave me a bowl of cut-up scraps. Stingy! And thinking about how Sun Chan gave that man so much fruit made her even unhappier.
Her husband is okay, though. He tells this woman not to go ask Sun Chan for anything.
But the woman still doesn’t listen, thinking, this time I caught her with another man; she would surely have to give me something to shut me up, right? Otherwise, if I spread this around, she’s done for.
Sun Chan left after lunch to sell goods, and the woman kept waiting. In the evening, she heard the neighbors making noises, so she pretended to go out and dump ashes and followed them outside.
Seeing Sun Chan indeed outside, she smiled and said, "Sis, your family sells fruit, right? Doing well in business, huh?"
Sun Chan replied, "Not great, not really making money."
"Sigh, my son loves fruit too, but you know, life conditions aren’t great now, and not everyone can afford fruit. His dad’s wages barely cover potatoes, so where to buy fruit?"
Of course, Sun Chan could hear she wanted fruit, but she never got along with this neighbor and was not warm when speaking with her. Plus, the woman was mean and always talked about neighbors behind their back, so Sun Chan didn’t like her and pretended not to understand.
