Si’s Father was the first to react. His old face flushed red as he scolded, “Nonsense! How could I possibly have an affair with Liu Dongdong!”

The rumors were getting more and more outrageous. Liu Dongdong was the same age as his own daughter. If this spread, where would he put his old face?

However, Zhang Cuimei and Lin Sisi had completely different expressions.

Didn’t ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍Liu Dongdong say she had gone back to her hometown?

How could Si Nian have run into her at the hospital?

And in the gynecology department, no less.

What was an unmarried, childless young woman doing in the gynecology department?

Lin Sisi couldn’t help but recall the hickey she had previously seen on Liu Dongdong.

Liu Dongdong hadn’t just lied; she had secretly gone to the gynecology department.

If she truly hadn’t done anything guilty, why would she need to deceive them?

And her sister inexplicably had an affair with her father.

Lin Sisi’s mind instantly fell into chaos.

What exactly were these two sisters trying to do?

Although she had her suspicions, she had always comforted herself with the thought that a man as arrogant and clean-living as Fu Yang would never get involved with anyone else, even if he didn’t like her.

Let alone someone like Liu Dongdong, who came from the countryside and had no education.

But now, with Si Nian bringing this up, true panic began to set in.

She had originally planned to wait for Liu Dongdong to return and ask her who this supposed boyfriend actually was.

If she could confirm who it was, it would prove that none of these matters had anything to do with Liu Dongdong.

Liu Dongdong had been by her side for so long. Since her rebirth, Liu Dongdong was the first person willing to help her. When she was in prison, it was Liu Dongdong who visited her frequently and brought her various things.

Lin Sisi had already treated her as a friend and had never suspected a thing.

But now, Liu Dongdong had lied.

Coupled with the fact that her sister was having an affair with Si’s Father, Lin Sisi would have to be an idiot not to realize something was wrong.

An outstanding man like Fu Yang—what woman wouldn’t like him? Liu Dongdong frequently went to deliver things to him; it would be abnormal if she didn’t have any ulterior motives.

Yet she herself hadn’t realized this problem at all, continuously asking Liu Dongdong to deliver food for her.

She had even naively believed that Fu Yang accepted the items simply because Liu Dongdong’s cooking was good.

She had even confidently assumed that Fu Yang accepted them out of respect for her.

But looking back now, Si Nian’s cooking used to be famous in the military compound, yet Fu Yang had never given it a second glance. If Fu Yang truly accepted things for the sake of his fiancée, he shouldn’t have rejected Si Nian’s.

Lin Sisi had previously felt smug about this.

But now, she felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if she had invited a wolf into her own home.

People in this era were so reserved and conservative, and Liu Dongdong was especially timid, yet she had deliberately exposed that hickey to her.

Wasn’t that a blatant provocation and show-off?

And to think she had genuinely believed Liu Dongdong had found a boyfriend and was happy for her.

The more Lin Sisi thought about it, the more she felt like she was going crazy.

Meanwhile, Zhang Cuimei was thinking: Could her husband have hooked up with Liu Dongdong in addition to her sister?

Her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.

Si Nian looked at the colorful expressions of the family of three and smiled. “Is that so? So Uncle’s affair isn’t with Liu Dongdong. Then what was she doing alone in the gynecology department? I saw her wearing a mask and a hat, looking very nervous. But since you all say it isn’t so, I suppose I must have misunderstood.”

“Speaking of which, Liu Dongdong is already nineteen, yet there are no plans for her marriage. I heard from Fu Qianqian that, Auntie, you even took her all the way to the Northwest to personally care for Fu Yang. It seems you really value her. Maybe you can introduce her to a good marriage in the future; her hardships would finally pay off.”

Lin Sisi’s face grew increasingly pale.

How did she not know about this?

She had only heard from Zhang Cuimei that Fu Yang was injured and she rushed over to visit him.

She hadn’t heard that Liu Dongdong went to personally care for him.

An unmarried young woman intimately caring for someone else’s husband—did she have no shame?

Lin Sisi was so angry her face turned livid; she wished she could drag Liu Dongdong over and interrogate her immediately.

Hearing this, Zhang Cuimei felt something was off, but she had to admit Si Nian was right. Liu Dongdong was a nineteen-year-old maiden; it was indeed very strange that her family hadn’t arranged a marriage for her yet.

But she felt Si Nian was being a busybody, so she said disdainfully, “Why are you bringing this up? Sisi said Dongdong already has a boyfriend. Do you need to worry about it?”

She must be overthinking. Her sister’s matter might be clear from the rumors, but Liu Dongdong had always been working right under her nose. If there really was something going on with her husband, wouldn’t she have seen it?

Zhang Cuimei felt Si Nian was deliberately trying to sow discord in their family.

She didn’t dwell on Liu Dongdong’s matter and directly changed the subject. “Let’s not talk about such things. Aren’t you going to take the college entrance exam? What about your job? Are you just going to quit?”

“You were doing perfectly fine as a broadcaster before, but you insisted on selling the position to Fu Qianqian. Now you’ve finally gotten such a good job. Keep the goodies within the family; don’t go foolishly selling it to someone else again. It’s not worth it.”

Si Nian knew that this family showing up at her door meant they were up to no good.

So they had come for her job.

Si Nian raised an eyebrow and continued to watch Zhang Cuimei’s performance.

“I have quite a few educated relatives on my side. You just tell the school that we’ll find someone to cover your shifts ourselves. Then, when you graduate from college in the future, we’ll give the job back to you. How about that? Isn’t it a great deal?”

Zhang Cuimei looked rather pleased with herself.

She had heard that Si Nian earned 90 yuan a month as a teacher, which was much higher than her previous broadcasting job.

Such a good opportunity naturally couldn’t be given to an outsider.

If she introduced someone from her side of the family, they could earn 90 yuan a month! Over three or four years, that would add up to a fortune.

So when her daughter mentioned that Si Nian was taking the college entrance exam, Zhang Cuimei immediately worried that this spot would be snatched up by someone else.

This fool had already sold off her broadcasting job for cheap. If the buyer hadn’t been Fu Qianqian, leaving her with no other options, Zhang Cuimei would definitely have caused a scene.

This time, naturally, she couldn’t let the job slip away.

Si’s Father didn’t even care about losing face. He coughed and said, “Yes, Nian Nian, your mother is right. Such a good job opportunity cannot be given away cheaply to others.”

Zhang Cuimei coaxed, “I heard from Sisi that the teachers at the First High School wouldn’t accept you, so you had no choice but to go to the Second High School. Don’t worry, as long as you listen to me, I’ll handle this for you and guarantee you get back into the First High School.”

After hearing this, Si Nian laughed. “I was wondering why you came visiting out of the blue. Turns out you’ve got your eyes on my job.”

The smiles on their faces instantly froze.

Zhang Cuimei said unhappily, “What do you mean ‘got our eyes on your job’? That sounds so awful. Aren’t we doing this for your sake?”

“Exactly. When you come back later, you can go straight to work. What a wonderful thing.”
