CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: DO OUR OPINIONS EVEN MATTER?

He Jinxuan said with a smile, "It’s fine, we’ve given a lot. Weirong, my leg is inconvenient. Could you please bring the enamel mug for drinking water to give some to him?"

Zhang Weirong felt a bit helpless but knew his grandfather loved to eat, so there was no choice but to muster the courage. However, he was quite savvy and brought over two self-made steamed buns: "Director He, you can’t refuse this."

He Jinxuan laughed, "Oh, I got a good deal here."

He poured out a third of the shredded meat, and only then did Uncle Zhang call for a stop and cheerfully said, "Thanks to Little He, I’ve been craving this since noon. Finally, I get to eat it."

It made everyone in the ward laugh.

At the Yao Family, the whole family sat in the living room, each with a gloomy expression. What happened in the morning spread throughout the factory by noon, making them wish they could find a crack in the ground to hide.

Being pointed at and gossiped about in the factory in the morning was one thing, but when they returned at noon, Mrs. Yao was upset beyond belief, causing everyone to miss lunch and it was time for work again.

The afternoon work was truly torturous, as wherever they went, there were discussions about Yao Hui and Lyu Juncheng’s scandal, and naturally, the Yao Family was also involved.

"How did the old Yao Family raise such a shameless thing?"

"Exactly, such a young age and already up to no good, even climbing into her brother-in-law’s bed. If it were my young lady, I’d beat her to death."

"Hey, could it be true that Yao Qian didn’t actually die, and those two were involved all along? I heard that Yao Qian was opposed to Yao Hui taking care of the three children at the end, could it be she discovered something early on?"

"It’s hard to say."

"She’s really a troublemaker, dragging the young Yu into being divorced at such a young age."

"Definitely, but that little girl isn’t easy to deal with. Seeing her actions today, she really gave those two a hard time."

"Today was really satisfying. I didn’t expect that young lady to look so gentle yet refuse to suffer even a bit."

"By the way, Lyu Juncheng and Yu have cleared things up, what about Yao Hui? Did she get her certificate?"

"I heard not yet. The Yao family matriarch refuses to give the household registration book, probably just posturing, likely waiting for Lyu Juncheng to come personally."

"Things are like this, why bother holding them back, isn’t it embarrassing?"

"You don’t understand, do you? You can’t just send a young lady off for nothing, reputation or no reputation, there should be some form of gesture, right?"

"If Yao Qian knew underground, she’d probably come back haunting them out of anger."

There were even worse comments, so bad that they were embarrassed to even listen. They truly felt furious, wondering what kind of curse they had.

Seeing no one was speaking, Father Yao broke the silence, "Everyone say something, what are your thoughts?"

Yao Family’s elder sister-in-law, Dong Liping, spoke angrily, "Things have already come to this point, does it matter what our thoughts are?"

The elder brother, Yao Zhigang, tugged at his wife’s sleeve, "Alright, things are already like this, getting angry doesn’t help."

The elder sister-in-law shook off her husband’s hand, "Easy for you to say, do you not hear what people outside are saying?

We adults have thick skin, but what about the children?"

Mrs. Yao, who was initially lying despondently on the quilt, straightened up upon hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, "Zhigang, go call Lyu Juncheng over for me. For something like this to happen, he hasn’t come home to explain himself. We sure overestimated him before."

Her words barely fell when the elder daughter-in-law protested, "Whoever caused the trouble should call him themselves. Running to Lyu Juncheng now, who knows what we’ll be labeled as?"
