Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 397

Lin Lan left first.

In the courtyard, she glanced at Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law, saying, “You are Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law. Your relationship with her wasn’t bad before and she even respects you a lot. Now that she’s encountered a problem, you should find a way to deal with the issue together instead of blaming the victim and saying that you’d be dragged into this matter as well. If you sit steadily on your throne, no one can make you budge. On the contrary, giving your family members a side eye and judging them will be colder than any gossip that circulates amongst strangers.”

Although Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law was not convinced, Lin Lan was technically older than her. She already had to address her as auntie and since Lin Lan was the Director of the Public Security Bureau’s wife, she didn’t dare to offend her.

She could only hold her tongue and force herself to say something, “…Auntie is right.”

Dong Huaihua immediately said, “Don’t say what you don’t mean; auntie is just looking out for you. She works busily every day and is learning alongside her children because she didn’t have the opportunity back then. And once she obtains some form of knowledge, she took the lead in organising the members of the Commune to learn about physiology and health-related topics. You should actively cooperate instead of sticking to your own world. “

Although she didn’t worship her like Xiuyun’s mother was, Dong Huaihua still respected Lin Lan a lot.

After all, it was Liu Guifa, the stubborn mule that nobody dared to offend, whom she lectured.

When they went out, they watched as Zhao Guilian was still probing around outside the house. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

Dong Huaihua scolded, “Staring at others all day just because you’re not going to work?!”

Zhao Guilian immediately retreated and left.

Chaos had erupted for an entire morning. Since it was already past noon, the two women went back to their respective homes to make lunch.

After eating, Dong Huaihua met with Lin Lan, intending to discuss the matter between Liu Xiuyun and Youth Chen.

Lin Lan said, “There isn’t much to discuss. At this point, as long as they agree that the couple is engaged and can get married soon, things would turn out alright.”

It really felt nosy of her to be discussing others’ personal affairs, so Lin Lan didn’t like it that much and wasn’t interested. But at a time like this, there wasn’t any other way to go about it since Han Yonglu seemed to be adamant in following up in this matter.

On the other hand, at the general meeting, Han Yonglu was really excited. It was as if he had caught a scheming vixen that would have jeopardised the entire country for the sake of the people.

It seemed like he wasn’t going to give a chance for Liu Xiuyun’s case to turn the tides. He brought up the fact that the entire Shanzui Village was going to have its reputation stained. The villagers would no longer be able to go out without being unable to lift their heads out of the shame that attached to their names.

At the meeting, he incited and sparked the flames of rage whereas Zhao Guixiang and Zhao Guilian were also stringing in a large group of middle-aged and elderly women.

Those women listened in on the wild gossip with piqued interests. They were the type who would assume a rumour was true just because many people were talking about it. Without a sense of judgement, their thoughts tended to be easily led by others’ influences. Hence, the fury and disgust that surged through the women’s bodies ignited with a deliberate exchange of words.
