"Sui Sui, I know you're not happy with me, but I've been in the Yun family for so many years, taking care of your father and you two siblings. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard. Please, for the sake of my wholehearted devotion to you over the years, don't let your father divorce me, okay?"

"People say being a stepmother is hard. I've been so careful and attentive all these years. Now you're married and your dad's rich. If we ever get divorced, what am I going to do?"

This was the first time that Lin Qiuping appeared in front of Yun Suisui in such a miserable state.

She had lost a lot of weight, and her round and rosy cheeks were slightly sunken. She was wearing simple old clothes with patches on her shoulders and knees. She was carrying a linen bag on her back. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red and swollen. She looked so pitiful.

But Yun Suisui knew that except for the first few years after their marriage, every family was poor, and her father never let the Lin mother and daughter wear patched clothes.

If I don't turn my closet upside down, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such tattered clothes.

And what she said, she didn't mention her father or her ungratefulness, but every word was about how she was cruelly abandoned, it was just like a tragic drama.

It was the evening break time and everyone was idle. There were already quite a few people around pointing and talking, not knowing what was going on.

Yun Suisui's eyes turned cold, but she looked like a good daughter as she took Lin Qiuping's arm and pulled her up.

Due to her intentional exercise and frequent visits to the countryside to see patients, her physical strength has long been incomparable to what it was before. Lin Qiuping tried her best to kneel down but failed, and the miserable expression on her face was distorted for a moment.

Yun Suisui smiled softly and said, "Auntie Lin, what are you doing? I was so surprised to see you just now. I thought you came to see me! What's going on between you and my dad? We can talk about it slowly. I can also help you find a way to reconcile it. You suddenly did this and scared me so much that I don't know what to do!"

Lin Qiuping wanted to put the blame on her for being ungrateful and instigating her father to divorce, but Yun Suisui certainly couldn't let her succeed.

When asked, I just say, “I don’t know, I haven’t heard about it, I’m innocent.”

She didn't know anything anyway.

Or maybe her father is a ruthless man. If he doesn't make a move, he will make a big splash. He did something big before the first month of the year was over.

No wonder Lin Qiuping went to the Huang family before. It was probably because her father had wanted to divorce her for a long time and was afraid that she would cause trouble for him, so he always kept a close watch on her and never told her his location.

Cheng Ying hadn't contacted her since they got married, so she had no idea where the military region was and had to go to the Huang family to ask.

Seeing that she wasn't falling for it, Lin Qiuping's expression became more forced, but she still said gently and pitifully, "Sui Sui, Auntie Lin had no choice but to come to you. You won't blame me, will you?"

"Your father wants to divorce me, and I don't know what to do. When I married him, he was just a workshop director, and you and Xiaofeng were still young. I raised you with so much difficulty, and I couldn't even bear to let you go to the countryside. I had no choice but to send Yingzi to Aimin Village with great pain. Now she treats me, her biological mother, like an enemy. If I separate from you again, how can I live in the future?"

Her words were so moving that an old lady passing by was filled with righteous indignation. With a wrinkled face, she said to Yun Suisui, "Doctor Yun, you can't be ungrateful. Your stepmother didn't have an easy time raising you. Now that you've made it big, you can't do anything so shameless that people will criticize you!"

Yun Suisui sighed in deep agreement. "You're right. Although my dad arranged a permanent job for my stepmother at the machinery factory, her monthly salary of over 100 yuan went entirely to her, supporting my stepsisters' schooling and never letting them go hungry."

"If you want to blame someone, blame my dad for meddling in other people's business. He insisted on stopping my stepsister from having an affair, causing her to hate our whole family. Now, she's tearing our family apart and making it impossible for us to live in peace. Ultimately, it's all my dad's fault. It's hard being a stepfather!"

This ironic remark completely confused the old lady. After a long while, she said, "What does this have to do with your father? What's your sister thinking? With such good conditions, she can find any man, but she has to be an adulterer? Now she's ruined her mother's family. What an ungrateful person!"

Yun Suisui nodded and said, yes, yes, it’s all Cheng Ying’s fault.

Lin Qiuping knew it was wrong when she heard her say those things, but she couldn't get a word in. She could only watch her little girl babble about everything her own daughter had done.

Her face turned blue and white, and she wanted to tear Yun Suisui apart. The only thing she could be thankful for was that no one knew that her own daughter was also in this compound.

Just as I had this thought, the old lady asked, "Your stepsister's name is Yingzi? What a coincidence! Captain Huang's wife is also named Yingzi!"

Yun Suisui was immediately amused. "What's even more coincidental is that Captain Huang's wife is my stepsister! Didn't you know?"

The old lady really doesn't know.

She is old, her mind is sometimes unclear, and she is also deaf. Others have to shout at the top of their lungs several times to talk to her. Over time, no one talks to her about other people's affairs anymore.

I met Yun Suisui because I had hip pain and went to the town clinic to buy a plaster.

She hadn't listened to any of the gossip about Yun Suisui and Cheng Ying before, and couldn't even join in the fun.

But today is good, she got some first-hand information and she has to go back and tell her sisters about it!

Thinking of this, the old lady's trembling steps became much faster.

Lin Qiuping's face darkened completely. She pursed her lips and said, "Sui Sui, they say family disgrace should not be made public. How dare you tell everyone about your sister's affairs?"

"Oh?"

Yun Suisui's lips curled up slowly, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, as if she could see through people's hearts, "I thought this was the effect you wanted, Aunt Lin!"

Lin Qiuping's pupils shrank, and she lowered her eyes and continued, "Sui Sui, I know you don't like me, nor do you like Yingzi, but I ask myself if I have done anything wrong to you over the years. For the sake of our past friendship, please don't drive me away, and don't let your father divorce me, okay?"

She spoke louder and louder, and was about to kneel down again.

Yun Suisui pinched her arm tightly, preventing her from kneeling down.

She was really fed up with Lin Qiuping's pretense.

It would be fine if she could be as selfish as Cheng Ying and do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, but she had once been somewhat sincere towards herself and Yunfeng.

When exactly did it change?

Perhaps it was the time when she discovered that Cheng Ying's dream could really allow her to live a good life.

People's hearts are fickle, and Yun Suisui will not show mercy to her just because of the good times they had in the past few years.

After all, the Yun family has given her much more than she has given over the years.

And he hasn't settled accounts with her for the harm she did to him.

"Yun Suisui, are you still a human being? When your family was at its poorest, my mom followed your dad and worked hard to raise you and your brother. Now that your family has become prosperous, your dad wants a divorce. Are all members of the Yun family beasts? Huh?"

When Yun Suisui saw Cheng Ying rushing towards her with a big belly, she knew that today would not end well.
