Chapter 354 An old woman from the countryside displays her extraordinary power
"So you'd better not resist or do anything underhanded, or don't blame this old lady for being ruthless."
I don't know why, but the atmosphere outside is getting tense and the situation is getting worse.
Although she was just an old woman, she could sense that the authorities were cracking down on people with bad conduct.
If it gets out that Li Xia coveted other women's men and tried to sow discord between their spouses, even if she is a martyr's widow, she probably won't fare well.
It was indeed wrong of her to lay a hand on Li Xia, but she is old, and the leaders in the army wouldn't do anything to her; at most, they would just give her a good talking-to.
Moreover, the fault lies with Li Xia; she is simply seeking justice.
If things really escalate, Old Lady Qin isn't afraid at all.
Li Xia's face turned slightly pale, and her lips trembled a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything and could only let Old Lady Qin do what she wanted to her.
The soundproofing in the tenement building was very poor, and it soon attracted the attention of many people. If the fight continued, it would be difficult to stop. When Grandma Qin saw that the fight had gone on for a while, she stopped.
She pulled Li Xia, whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten, up from the ground. She even reached out and gently tidied Li Xia's messy hair. Instantly, she returned to her usual kind and gentle demeanor, speaking in a soft tone.
"Women in their thirties and forties are still young. Why are they so blind to thinking about other women's men? Listen to what I have to say, and give up this idea as soon as possible."
"Don't try anything funny, and don't even think about reporting me. If you do succeed in reporting me, believe me, your punishment will be much harsher and more severe than mine."
"Of course, if you really don't believe me, we can wait and see."
Li Xia's body suddenly stiffened, and a chill ran through her feet.
By the time those who heard the commotion and ran out to check arrived...
There wasn't a single person in sight.
Li Xia's door was tightly shut.
Fearing something might have happened, they hurriedly knocked on Li Xia's door. After knocking for a while, they heard a seemingly normal voice coming from inside.
"I'm fine, you guys go back. I just had a little argument with someone, it's nothing serious."
Inside the room, Li Xia sat in front of the dressing table. In the mirror, her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly wretched, with bruises all over her face and several pieces of scalp torn off.
Looking at herself like this, she raised her hand and touched her face, tears welling up in her eyes without her realizing it.
What does it mean to have designs on another woman's man?
She was the one who met Qin Yunzhou first. When she met Qin Yunzhou, Xu Sui was still unknown.
Moreover, Qin Yunzhou also promised her man that she would take good care of her and her two children.
But his so-called care was just helping her find a job that barely made ends meet, and occasionally sending some living expenses to the two children.
Since Qin Yunzhou got married, he has forgotten about the mother and her two children, and he has stopped sending them the occasional living expenses they used to receive.
If he couldn't do it, why did he agree to it in the first place?
Speaking of this matter, Li Xia was filled with hatred, so much so that her teeth itched and her face was contorted with rage.
If we're really going to talk about it, it was Xu Sui who interfered and stole her man.
She was so close back then, Political Commissar Qin was almost hers. It was all because of that shameless Xu Sui, who had a fiancé and dared to drug him and climb into another man's bed.
What chilled her to the bone even more was...
Qin Yunzhou now acts as if he doesn't recognize the mother and her two children anymore, ignoring them completely.
And now they're actually letting Old Lady Qin hit her...
Inside the machinery factory in the provincial capital.
Xu Sui was having dinner with Qin Yunzhou and his two sons when Engineer Huang, Factory Director Gao, and others suddenly sat down.
They sat down next to Xu Sui and brought out several more meat dishes.
"Come on, Xiao Xu, have some. You're so thin, you should eat more meat to help you work better."
After learning that Xu Sui was Chief Engineer Zhou's apprentice, Engineer Huang felt uneasy for a long time. He couldn't shake the feeling that such a promising talent had been snatched away by someone else.
But now he's figured it out.
Even married couples can divorce, let alone master and apprentice. If he puts in the effort to poach the apprentice, he can definitely win him back.
So he changed his previous indifference towards Xu Sui and became incredibly enthusiastic, constantly serving her food and promising her benefits.
"Xiao Xu, when you're in this line of work, you have to find a reliable mentor. You can't choose one who will ruin your life."
"Old Zhou is obviously unreliable. After you graduated, he actually sent you to such a remote little place by yourself, without giving you any resources or connections. He made you work on your own and have to go out and find orders yourself."
"But I'm different. If this is my apprentice, no matter what resources he wants, as long as I have them, I will definitely get them for him. Even if I don't have them myself, I will ask someone to get them for him."
"Why don't you just acknowledge me as your master? If you do, I'll immediately use my connections to transfer you back to the capital, take you under my wing, and teach you everything I have to you..."
Qin Yunzhou, who was standing to the side, felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.
He frowned, unable to resist interrupting the other person any longer.
"Wait a minute, Engineer Huang, do you really think that Chief Engineer Zhou never promised my wife these benefits before?"
……
After eating,
After reprimanding the person, Old Lady Qin was certain that Li Xiaqian was responsible for that incident, and she then went to find Lu Xiaoya.
Lu Xiaoya had just finished get off work and was returning from the machinery factory at that time.
As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she spotted Old Lady Qin standing there.
Lu Xiaoya paused for a moment, then pursed her lips. "Grandma, is something the matter?"
She wasn't familiar with this old lady at all. Although their two houses were separated by only a wall, they barely interacted.
Moreover, this person looked at her with a very critical and unfriendly gaze.
Grandma Qin glanced at Lu Xiaoya expressionlessly, "If you have something to say, come in first. I have something to tell you."
Although she wasn't Gu Shu's biological grandmother, Gu Shu still called her "Grandma" and acknowledged her as his grandmother.
Because she was also Lu Xiaoya's elder.
Lu Xiaoya stood still, somewhat reluctant to let an outsider into her home. After a moment of silence, she spoke tactfully, "Grandma, why don't we talk here?"
"I think I forgot my keys."
Old Mrs. Qin knew exactly who Lu Xiaoya was. She recognized her immediately and didn't want her to come in. She snorted coldly and took out her key from her pocket to open the door.
"It's okay, I have a key to your house. Give me Xiaoshu, and she told me to treat this place as my own home."
Lu Xiaoya was stunned.
She watched helplessly as Old Lady Qin opened her door and swaggered inside.
"He...he actually gave you the house key?"
