Li Hongmei had gathered a few people and was badmouthing Gu Jiaojiao. Nearby, Aunt Leng, who was in charge of spreading manure, had just walked over and overheard them. Unable to resist, she chimed in.
"Isn't that the truth! The brigade leader is just biased towards Gu Jiaojiao, but we're just ordinary people. What can we do!"
She sighed.
"It's all because she acts like some high and mighty young lady that my daughter-in-law ran back to her parents' house. Isn't this all her fault for refusing to work?"
No one cared whether the accusations against Gu Jiaojiao were reasonable or not; as long as there were accusations, that was enough. Li Hongmei, for her part, thoughtfully comforted Aunt Leng.
"Auntie, speaking of which, Gu Jiaojiao is family. She's a daughter-in-law of your Leng Family. It's really out of line for her to act this way."
"If she had any sense, she would go to their house, apologize to Sun Yeshu, and personally ask her to come back."
