Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 26 Those of you who live nearby should be more careful.

When Fu's mother learned of the news, she thought of striking first.

After all, even if she didn't go to the Bai family, they would have found her soon enough.

When that time comes, if the Bai family mother and daughter kneel down at her door, won't that bring away all of her family's good luck?
What's more, what if they come and make a scene?

Wouldn't those neighbors be moved by the tears and think that the Fu family was being aggressive?

The best way to resolve disputes is to go straight for it and take action.

As more and more neighbors gathered, Fu's mother began her accusations, "This heartless family, why do they have to target my widow and her orphan family?"

"In order for Bai Siqi to steal my daughter's college admission letter, their family is really vicious. Bai Chunsheng paid someone to push my daughter into the river, and then had that beast Song Yan pretend to save her."

"If my daughter had been rescued from the river by him, wouldn't she have to marry this beast in front of so many people on the riverbank? He couldn't bear to leave Bai Siqi with her three crying babies and her mother who needed to be waited on. He was just trying to drag my daughter into this hellhole!"

The crowd's eyes widened even more in shock at the explosive news.

Good heavens, is this for real?

Song Yan's face was ashen; he hadn't expected that Fu's mother would drag him into this as well.

Now, there's no way we can just stand there doing nothing.

He immediately stood up and said, "Auntie, you can't say such things. Slander is a crime, especially since you're slandering a soldier—"

"Pah! Where did I slander you? And do you even deserve to be a soldier? I'm reporting you to your unit right now. People like you should be dismissed. Don't try to drag me into this and throw accusations at me. Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you're throwing accusations at me like this?" "Didn't you jump into the river yesterday? And didn't you send a matchmaker to my door right after? You still have the nerve to put accusations on me here? Everything I said is true. I think you're one of the conspirators in this family."

Song Yan's voice became stern, "Auntie, don't make trouble. Fu Mingxue fell into the river, and I happened to be passing by. I instinctively tried to save her. Even if it had been someone else, I would have done the same. As for sending a matchmaker to propose marriage, that's because—"

A clear, melodious voice immediately picked up where he left off:

"Because you just wanted to find an idiot to fall into your family's fire pit and take all the blame for Bai Siqi. When I snatched back the admission notice, you and Bai Siqi chased after me together, clearly trying to steal the admission notice from me. I told the police about this yesterday."

"Originally, I was going to forgive you for stealing the college admission notice because you pleaded so desperately and said your children were still young. But I never expected Bai Chunsheng to actually try to harm me. If he hadn't been caught and hadn't confessed to the police himself, I wouldn't have believed you could be so vicious."

Song Yan looked at Fu Mingxue with a gloomy expression.

He clenched his hands into fists.

Seeing his fierce expression, Fu's mother immediately shielded her daughter and glared back at him fiercely.

"What, you want to hit my daughter again? Let me tell you, Bai Chunsheng, that wicked beast, don't expect me to come out of my house and issue any letter of forgiveness. He should be executed."

Not content with that, she then turned her attention to the neighbors, saying, "You all who live nearby, better watch your step! This family is rotten to the core; who knows when they might turn on you!"

The neighbors: ...?
Song Yan: ...?
The Bai family of three: ? ...
