I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s

Shen Meng looked at the doorway, signaling Zhu Juying to hide all the good stuff, otherwise, it wouldn’t last till morning; all would be plundered, and it was no use making a fuss about it.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Meng, you’ve given our family so much. We really feel uncomfortable for taking so much from you."

"Aunt, you shouldn’t say that. When I was sick those days, the kids were lucky to have you and Xiangxiang taking care of them. And Uncle Guai too, when Zhenping wasn’t home, whenever there was something happening at home, you all thought to give me a hand. I’m grateful for that. These things were just given to me this noontime by someone else, too much for us to eat up. Xiangxiang is sick, and canned food is the best for her to eat right now."

Having just quarreled with Huang Maochun, Zhu Juying was feeling quite stifled, but she felt much relieved now. Such a good girl, their family was not lucky enough to have one, and she genuinely envied Liu Sanjin.

"By the way, Aunt, I just heard from Mao Chun that you were arguing. What were you arguing about?"

"It’s about Xiangxiang’s wedding. You knew that Uncle Guai and I had arranged a match for Xiangxiang. Both families were satisfied. The lad is decent, and his parents are honest people. Their family doesn’t have much, but they get along very well. Whenever his sisters-in-law visited, they always brought little gifts for Xiangxiang. The dowry they offered was not insignificant either. Such a good marriage, but it was spoiled by Xingchang’s wife, disrupting it completely. Now, the other family just wanted a diligent and steady girl to marry into their family. With such a troublesome sister-in-law from the bride’s family, how could they have any peace in the future? So, they called off the marriage, alas!"

Even though it had been a while since the incident, Zhu Juying still felt heartache and regret over this marriage. It was such a rare, good match, but Huang Maochun messed it up. This woman must be the retribution for the Lu Family.

"Speaking of which, the marriage was canceled not long ago, it should be kept quiet. Yet, Xingchang’s wife kept blabbering about it everywhere. The old women at the village entrance gossiped about Xiangxiang every day. She is a good kid, they were worried we would find it tough, so she didn’t say anything. She just kept her head down and went to work. Today, Xingchang’s wife has mentioned she found a match for Xiangxiang, her cousin’s son, I’ve seen the guy once, so ugly it would break your heart to look at him, and he’s so short too—practically kickable like a ball if you’re not careful. Lord, how could such a person marry our Xiangxiang!"
