Chapter 822: Pretend to be pitiful in front of others, stab in the back behind them.
"Sister, I only heard a thing or two about your situation from Sister Chunhua. But don’t be mad at her, because as soon as I arrived, I met several military spouses who are quite close to me, and I was bound to ask about you since I hadn’t seen you. That’s when Sister Chunhua told me about your family matters," An Hao said.
"Sister, I don’t blame Chunhua. She means well," Zhang Guifang dabbed her tears, "These past days, your big brother Li and I have had our fair share of fights and arguments. Every time, she and Sister Mei Ying would help me out, standing by my side to scold Zecheng! And they have patiently listened to my endless nagging! I know they all want what’s best for me."
Upon hearing this, An Hao immediately perceived where the problem lay.
Zhang Guifang regarded Xin Ni as an intruder, naturally intending to be assertive in driving the invader away.
Xin Ni had likely figured out the mentality of men inside out a long time ago.
Hence, she would play the innocent and pitiful in front of others, but behind the scenes, she would stab Zhang Guifang in the back, setting traps and undermining her.
Li Zecheng couldn’t see this side of Xin Ni; he only saw the assertive and domineering side of Zhang Guifang. People tend to sympathetically side with the underdog, especially when it’s a woman with a tragic background.
"Sister, I think big brother Li doesn’t necessarily like that woman. You shouldn’t exaggerate the issue! I may not have experienced as many ups and downs as you have, but over these years, I’ve also seen plenty of domestic affairs in the village and have learned a thing or two. If you want to drive Xin Ni out, you must be united with big brother Li and absolutely can’t afford to have a rift between you, giving someone an opportunity to take advantage," An Hao suggested.
