As they stepped out, Su Shen held the umbrella, carefully shielding Gu Zi under its protective cover until she was comfortably seated in the passenger seat.

Gu Zi was not heavily made up that day. Her face and hands were lightly dabbed with a radiation protection cream. She was dressed simply, a tank top paired with a knitted cardigan, casual pants, and flat shoes. She wore no jewelry, her appearance was understated yet elegant.

Even so, her beauty was undeniable. Her radiant features made her as eye-catching as a rose in full bloom.

Just then, Mrs. Wang was passing by Su’s house with her son Yuan Yuan and a few other women. Through the car window, they caught a glimpse of Gu Zi’s profile, a sight that stirred feelings of both envy and jealousy.

Mrs. Wang, in particular, felt a strong pang of jealousy. She wondered why such a beautiful woman would choose to live in the countryside. Was she trying to be a phoenix in a chicken coop?

Su Shen was wealthy, yet Gu Zi had the audacity to set up a stall at the market, earning money from the poor villagers. It was outrageous!

Furthermore, her own mother-in-law, Aunt Yang, had been driven out by her and hadn’t yet conceded. Mrs. Wang was certain that Gu Zi and her mother were behind this.

Everyone knew about the close relationship between Gu Zi’s mother and Aunt Yang. Who could say they weren’t plotting against her behind her back?

With Aunt Yang gone, Mrs. Wang had to do everything herself, including taking care of her child. She was at her wit’s end and was trying to figure out a way to bring the old woman back from Little Lin Village.

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn’t help but gossip with the women around her.

“Look at Gu Zi, she married a rural man just like us, but the difference between her life and ours is like heaven and earth. Look at her, she has a car to travel in, she’s beautiful and fair-skinned. She doesn’t look like a rural wife at all, more like a young lady. She goes to the city every other day, buying things in large and small bags, spending money as if she picked it up off the ground.”

The other women in the village had their own thoughts. Su Shen had always been the golden bachelor of their village. It was only because his marriage conditions were too stringent that he had dissuaded the women.

If it weren’t for those stringent conditions, how could it have been Gu Zi’s turn to marry him? They were now filled with regret.

One of them spoke up, “You may not know this, but her father was beaten by his own nephew, Lin Jie, and had his leg broken. That’s why she often goes to the city, probably to the hospital. Ultimately, it’s because Gu Zi is too heartless. She married Su Shen and brought prosperity to her family, but she didn’t give any benefits to her father’s brothers. That’s why her father was beaten, isn’t it?”

Another woman agreed, “You think she’s ruthless too, don’t you? I also don’t think she’s a good person. I don’t understand why some people say she’s good. I heard that Lin Jie was sentenced because Gu Zi didn’t want to settle the matter privately. Look how malicious she is. Lin Jie is her cousin after all, and she wants to ruin his life just because the two families had a fight. She’s caused the brothers to have a complete fallout!”

Mrs. Wang spoke of Gu Zi’s character and brought up the incident where Aunt Yang had taken the red envelope money for Gu Zi’s wedding and spent it all. She began to weave a tale.

“My mother-in-law didn’t know where the money went. I only found out later that Gu Zi must have encouraged her to spend it. As a daughter-in-law, how could I keep an eye on my mother-in-law’s money? I got angry and said a few words to my mother-in-law. Now, with Gu Zi backing her, she doesn’t even come back. I’m left alone to take care of the child.”

The women sympathized with Mrs. Wang, “You’ve really had it tough. Aunt Yang really doesn’t understand. She’s a woman too, doesn’t she know how tiring it is to raise a child alone?”

Someone said, “But in the end, it’s Gu Zi who’s stirring things up behind the scenes. I think we should avoid Gu Zi in the future, or else we might end up with a disrupted family, which would be troublesome.”

On the way to the city, Gu Zi was unaware that she had only shown her face and already stirred up the women’s jealousy.

At that moment, she was observing the man driving next to her.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a valuable wristwatch. He looked very formal, calm, and handsome, exuding a sense of quality.

Gu Zi looked at herself. Fortunately, she was naturally beautiful. Although she wasn’t dressed extravagantly, her bright and beautiful face was enough to match the man beside her.

However, Gu Zi was still puzzled and asked, “Why are you taking this so seriously today?”

Su Shen replied, “It’s nothing. I just don’t want others to think that you’ve married someone lesser compared to Lin Miao..”
