Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Unprecedented_1

While they were moving, the noise of coming and going attracted the curious villagers, who surrounded them and pointed fingers, whispering among themselves.

"What’s the Xia Jianren family up to now?"

"Yeah, why are they moving everything to the Lu Family’s side?"

"Don’t you know? They’re going to build a house, so they’re temporarily staying with the Lu Family!"

"My goodness, they are actually going to build a house, that’s impressive!"

"I heard they’re even building a three-story house!"

"Remarkable, truly remarkable!"

The villagers’ eyes turned red with envy, and their teeth ached with jealousy.

For these old farmers, having enough food to fill their bellies, keeping warm, and sending their children to school were all difficult and luxurious matters, let alone building a house.

At that moment, someone quipped, "After all, she got so much money from the divorce, if you’re jealous, why don’t you get a divorce too?"

"Haha, forget it, I wouldn’t get divorced, it’s too shameful."

These days, getting a divorce was really a shameful matter, as shameful as standing naked in the middle of the street.

"I don’t know what Lin Lan was thinking, it’s quite normal for a man to be unfaithful and not able to control himself, was it necessary to go as far as getting a divorce?"

"Now she’s become a divorced woman, how shameful. If it were me, I wouldn’t even be able to face going out!"

There is no wall in the world that doesn’t leak. The villagers all knew about Xia Jianren and Mrs. Xia getting a divorce and receiving a large sum of money.

Now, each one of them was jealous of her financial gain after the divorce, and the only way to soothe their jealousy was to mock her for being without a man.

"You mustn’t talk about my mother like that!"

Ningxing couldn’t help grinding her molars when she heard these words.

She felt like hitting someone!

Just as she was about to roll up her sleeves and drive everyone away, Mrs. Xia, who had been hiding and wiping her tears, suddenly surged forward like she’d been empowered by a buff, and charged into the crowd.

"How is my getting a divorce shameful!"

Mrs. Xia suddenly slammed the plastic basin she was holding onto the ground in front of those gossipy women.

The plastic basin shattered into pieces.

Her eyes red with bloodshot veins, she stared at them like knives cutting through them, hands on her hips, she scoffed coldly, "Do you think I’m like you, that I can’t live without a man?"

"I’ll tell you, even without a man, I, Lin Lan, can still live a good life!"

"Can you?!"

"Without a man, you probably couldn’t even catch up to a warm meal to save your lives!"

Her voice grew louder with each word, resounding confidently through the mountains.

In the past, she wasn’t much different from these women, believing that without a husband, life couldn’t go on. But reality proved that with money, a man was worth nothing!

The women who had been mocking her felt embarrassed and quietly left with an awkward expression.

In truth, although divorce was considered shameful in those times, if a woman had money, it was a different story entirely. There were even unmarried young men in the village who had their sights set on Lin Lan, all because she had a lot of money!

Seeing that the target of their gossip had exploded in anger, the other chattering villagers also didn’t dare to say much more and scattered.

After everyone had left, Mrs. Xia finally couldn’t hold back her tears and burst into painful sobs, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

She wasn’t crying because of their mockery or because she was without a man, but because she lamented her blindness for having allowed such a scumbag to waste over a decade of her youth.

"Mommy..." Xia Ningxing squatted on the ground, extending her chubby, tender little hands, gently comforting her. Her rosy lips twisted as she fought back tears, "Mommy, don’t cry. Bao’er will feel sad."
