Chapter 1061 - 341: The Big Commotion_2
Fortunately, the discovery was timely, and the "rumor" had not completely spread, so there was still a chance to rectify the situation. Therefore, Mo Yan took advantage of the situation, using the backstory fabricated by the Wu family as her own: "I know about Aunt Wu’s Daughter-in-law’s past. She’s truly had a hard life. If her own family hadn’t undergone a big change, and she hadn’t gone to Jing City to seek help from distant relatives, she would never have had such a good marital match with Brother Tie Tou."
As soon as Mo Yan said this, everyone’s curiosity was piqued.
Previously, there had been inquiries about Mrs. Wu’s Daughter-in-law’s background, and the Wu family had merely mentioned that she was an orphan. Maybe they thought it sounded unpleasant, or maybe they felt that giving too many details could upset the Daughter-in-law if she heard them, so they kept it vague and moved on. Others felt it improper to ask further.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mo Yan didn’t waste words. In her gentle storytelling voice, Liu Qingqing, originally from the brothel, transformed into a pitiable orphan whose parents had both passed away. Being a female, she had no right to inherit the family business left by her father. Furthermore, she was driven out of her home by her cruel uncle and, having no alternative, she had to bring her personal maid to Jing City to seek refuge with a distant relative from her mother’s side.
Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, that relative had already moved to the South, and Liu Qingqing, a weak woman who had struggled to reach Jing City, certainly did not have the means to travel any further. She pawned the jade pendant passed down from her ancestors, planning to rent a room in Jing City and support herself through her excellent needlework skills. However, the belongings she pawned were all stolen by a despicable thief.
In desperation and considering ending her own life, she met the kind-hearted Tie Tou. Eventually, she was moved by his genuine sincerity and, hoping for a place to belong, decided to take charge of her own destiny by agreeing to marry Tie Tou as his wife.
Mo Yan spoke softly, filled with sympathy for Liu Qingqing’s life story. Indeed, on hearing the tragic tale, some tender-hearted women had already started to dab at their tears, even those who didn’t cry had reddened eyes:
"I never imagined Mrs. Wu’s Daughter-in-law had such a tragic background! Thankfully, she encountered kind-hearted Brother Tie Tou. Otherwise, if such a nice girl had thrown herself into a river, it would have been such a waste."
"Brother Tie Tou is honest and kind-hearted, and Mrs. Wu is a gentle person. This girl is blessed with good fortune to come, after enduring all her suffering."
