Chapter 272: Jumping into the Yellow River Can't Wash It Clean
Jiang Xiaoxiao was busy in the kitchen.
Wu Fei was helping on the side, picking vegetables.
Zhao Jinmei wanted to lend a hand but was chased back inside by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
She didn't want to be accused of making a pregnant woman work.
Wu Fei glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, surprised to find that Jiang Xiaoxiao, who seemed so delicate, was actually very quick and efficient in the kitchen.
It really shocked her.
She had thought Jiang Xiaoxiao was like her, at least seemed like someone like her.
Fashionably dressed, frail, and very pretty.
Such a girl didn't seem like the household type.
But the fact was, she was different from her.
Wu Fei felt a pang of jealousy inside.
She couldn't figure out why Song Moting liked Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Surely her beauty was one reason. Men always say nice things, but how many don't like beautiful women?
She didn't have any romantic interest in Song Moting; she just thought he was too good to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Song Moting used to be very cold in their team. Many young women pursued him, but he was never warm to anyone, always keeping a distance.
Now, with Jiang Xiaoxiao, he couldn't hide his affection.
He was eager to come in and help, practically glued to his wife's side.
It was a stark contrast to the cold and indifferent Song Moting, enough to make one drink a jar of—jealousy!
Wu Fei couldn't stand it.
Everyone knew Liu Mei had liked Song Moting for many years, and she got along well with his parents, practically considered a future daughter-in-law by them. Now she was cut off by a young woman from the countryside, making others feel both smug and sad.
She used to see Liu Mei as better than herself, which made her envious and resentful.
Now she felt smug that Liu Mei was in the same boat, but also felt sad for both of them ending up like this.
Naturally, she found Jiang Xiaoxiao irritating, just like Zhao Jinmei did.
What right did they have to win the love of such a good man?
Wu Fei couldn't understand this sentiment; she just felt sorry for herself and Liu Mei. They loved a man who couldn't be considered the cream of the crop among women, but they were top-notch, and now they were surpassed by such a woman, who had stolen their beloved.
The feeling was indescribable.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, have you met Song Moting's parents? Did Uncle and Aunt approve of your marriage?"
If it wasn't deliberate, Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe it.
Wasn't Wu Fei said to be from the same compound as Song Moting but didn't know his family situation?
Who would believe that?
It was just a tactic to make her upset.
What a shame.
Jiang Xiaoxiao really didn't care.
Song Moting's parents really had nothing to do with her.
Whether they had a bad relationship or a good one, they would just get along. She didn't care much about these things. In her previous life, she cared too much, allowing the Fang family to nearly ruin her and her parents.
Now?
Sorry, these are not her concerns anymore.
And besides, Song Moting originally didn't get along well with his father and stepmother.
Husband and wife are a unit.
They were united.
"I haven't met them. My Moting says, as long as Grandpa and Grandma agree, other opinions don't matter."
"How is that the same? Song Moting says that, but you can't take it so seriously. No matter what, they're still his parents, your in-laws, and you should get along harmoniously with your family. If you can't get the elders' blessings, how will you get along with your in-laws in the future?"
The intention to sow discord was more and more apparent in Wu Fei's words.
Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly.
They really take her for a fool.
"I don't need to get along with my in-laws. Moting said, Auntie is a stepmother. With a stepmother comes a stepfather. There's no need to consider my in-laws, just be filial to my grandparents. I don't need to think about anything else.
After all, we won't be living together anyway."
Wu Fei rolled her eyes, utterly bold in her words.
Though it was a fact, saying it like this was just asking for trouble.
"That's not right! Song Moting can think that way because he's their biological son; his father won't be truly mad at him. But it's different for you. As a daughter-in-law, if you do that, you'll anger his father, and you'll suffer the consequences.
You should persuade Song Moting. After all, parents are never wrong, and his father will need someone to care for him too. Song Moting can't be that selfish, and as his wife, you should persuade Song Moting to reconcile with his father.
Your relationship with your in-laws would improve greatly. You know Uncle Song is the director of the hospital in the second yard. With his word, transferring back to Jingbei wouldn't be a problem. Why suffer in this poor place?
What's so good about being a young farmer!"
Who didn't know that Song Moting's sore spot was his father and stepmother?
Anyone who tried to advise on that was asking for trouble.
Wu Fei just wanted to create conflict between Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting.
Why should Jiang Xiaoxiao get to live happily?
Just a little educated girl, and she's living better than they are!
Wu Fei could not accept it.
She was an intern doctor, but she felt indignant.
Jiang Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
Wu Fei was displeased. What did that mean?
Was she laughing at her?
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, what are you laughing at?"
"Wu Fei, how does my relationship with Song Moting's father and stepmother have anything to do with you? You seem very active, could it be you're interested in Song Moting? Should I tell Song Moting that you like him to save you from running around here, isn't it tiring?"
This made Wu Fei's face turn red, both angry and embarrassed.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao! What nonsense are you spouting? I have no interest in Song Moting. Who cares about Song Moting? The one I like is Brother Jin, what does that have to do with Song Moting? That ice-cold face of Song Moting's, I wouldn't take him even if he was free."
In her agitation, Wu Fei didn't control her volume.
The sound of a basin falling outside the door could be heard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart sank, could it be that coincidental!
Could Sister-in-law Zhao Jinmei have overheard it all?
"Jin Dachuan, you better explain what's going on! What's your relationship with Wu Fei?"
Zhao Jinmei's voice revealed everything.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glared at Wu Fei; see what happened now.
Wu Fei's face was flushed with embarrassment; having certain thoughts was one thing, but not having them revealed in such a way.
Moreover, it was heard by someone's wife, after all, she had always been unilateral in her feelings.
Being known, she would be considered a third party.
Such a stigma at this time was enough to cause wild imaginations.
Would she even want her job in the future?
Wu Fei hurried out, to see Jin Dachuan comforting Zhao Jinmei.
"Wife, don't listen to their nonsense. There's nothing between Xiao Wu and me. You know I've always been single-minded about you, really nothing!"
Jin Dachuan was distressed, what did he do to deserve this?
He hadn't done anything.
This troublemaker Wu Fei, he had clearly rejected her back then, so why was she now making trouble for him again?
His wife heard this, he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
This was bringing harm upon others.
