Her words made everyone even angrier. As the saying goes, you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings. They have elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and a large family in the countryside to help out. They're lucky if they can even feed themselves properly each day. Where would they find the extra money for fancy meals?

"I knew you were shameless! Is that your man? Huh? You stole him from her! Look at the kind of life he's living in the countryside, and look at yourself... At least have some decency for your unborn child!"

"Why are you talking about that? If she knew how to do good deeds, would she do something so immoral?"

"Hmph, isn't she just after Battalion Commander Sun's money? If she didn't have to spend money, would she be dating a guy in his thirties at such a young age?"

Liu Cuilan was furious: "Whose man did I steal? Hers?" She pointed at Zhou Chuan, "Someone like her, why would I need to steal her? Sun Jun isn't blind, why would he choose her?"

"Let me tell you, Sun Jun and I are a legally married couple, we've registered our marriage, it's been approved by the organization, so none of you can try to pin any accusations on me!"

Zhou Chuan couldn't stand it anymore: "Pah, he looks down on me, but I look down on him too. He's a complete ungrateful, unfilial bastard. I'm so unlucky to have met him."

“He could have said he didn’t want to be with me earlier. He was already sixteen and an adult. If he really didn’t want to be with me, he could have told his family. His parents treat him like their own flesh and blood, so they definitely wouldn’t have refused. Even if he didn’t say anything, if he left a few words before he ran away, how could I have waited for fifteen years?”

Everyone looked at Zhou Chuan's tormented state and felt sorry for him. He had been working like a slave in the Sun family for over thirty years, and looked like he was over fifty. His life had been wasted. They also looked at Liu Cuilan with a strange expression.

Zhou Chuan wiped away his tears and continued to sob, "He's been gone for fifteen years and hasn't sent a single penny home. The old couple in the Sun family don't treat me, their child bride, like a human being, but they've been incredibly devoted to their own son. To give him some fine food, his parents even sold all three of their daughters."

"Now that he's successful and a military officer, instead of sending money home to support his parents, all he does is eat and drink well with you. Is this how a son should act?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Ask any of the older women here. Which of their husbands doesn't send money home? Sun Gousheng is the epitome of a heartless wretch. I really don't know how the army selected him as an officer. With a character like that, how can he be in charge of people? I hope he doesn't end up with a bunch of heartless wretches."

Zhou Chuan's words truly resonated with everyone. Didn't each of them send half their money home to support their elders? If they were all as destitute as Battalion Commander Sun, they too could afford to eat lavishly.

“Most of my family’s money has to be sent back to our hometown. It’s not just to support our elders, but also to help out our uncles and aunts. When my husband joined the army, I was left alone with the children in our hometown. We barely survived because of the help of my uncles and aunts. Now that my husband has a bright future, we have to repay our family.”

“Whose family isn’t like that? Life in the countryside is so hard, sometimes you don’t even know where your next meal will come from. My husband always says we can’t forget our roots. Now that life is better, we must remember that our elders back home are still living a hard life. We send anything good back home, unlike some people who only care about eating and drinking well themselves and don’t care about the lives of others.”

Liu Cuilan regretted coming today. Not only was she beaten, but she was also bullied by a group of shrewish country women. She didn't know anything about her in-laws' affairs, so why were they talking about her? Sun Jun didn't like her either, and Zhou Chuan was shameless. Didn't he know that the one who is not loved is the one who interferes in the relationship?
