Aunt Li exclaimed, "Good heavens, she's already thirty and hasn't even dated anyone? Could there be something wrong with her body?"
Big Sister-in-law Liu nodded in full agreement. "She's that old and still hasn't found a man to marry. Even if there's nothing wrong with her body, there must be something wrong in her head."
Perhaps driven by jealousy, the two of them began belittling Su Qiao at the same time.
Mother Wu sneered twice. "Heh heh, who knows?"
Aunt Li and Big Sister-in-law Liu were just about to ask for more details when they looked up and saw Su Ya Ni standing at the courtyard gate, staring at them in disbelief, her cheeks flushed scarlet.
"Ahem, Aunt Wu, it's noon already. We should head back and make lunch."
"That's right, that's right. I should go back and make lunch too."
The two of them hurriedly picked up their own basins and buckets and headed toward their rooms.
They had been speaking ill of someone and had even been caught red-handed by that person. Naturally, they felt somewhat awkward.
Only then did Mother Wu realize that something was wrong. When she turned around, she immediately stiffened. "You... Why are you back?"
"You... You... I... I..."
Su Ya Ni pointed at her, so furious that she couldn't get a single sentence out for a long while. Then, with a loud sob, she ran crying back to her room.
At that moment, Wu Haishan also returned.
As soon as he reached the courtyard gate, he happened to see Su Ya Ni crying as she ran into her room, so he hurried after her.
"Yani, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Or did looking for work today tire you out?"
"Go away, go away! I don't want to see you!
