"Oh, isn't this Doctor Ning?"

The woman looked at Ning Yu with surprise, and then looked at Jiang Yan several times, "Who is this?"

Jiang Yan and Ning Yu stood together in a very intimate posture. The woman thought Jiang Yan was Si Zhen and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Si Zhen, you've grown up so much? I'm your Aunt Xiaolan. I held you in my arms when you were a child."

Here we go again. I seem to hear this kind of talk every time I go back to my hometown during the holidays.

Jiang Yan was about to say that she was not Si Zhen, but she felt Ning Yu quietly pulling her, and she immediately stopped talking.

"Who was it I thought it was, Ma Xiaolan? Are you back?"

As soon as Jiang Yan heard the tone of her mother-in-law's voice, she knew that she and Ma Xiaolan definitely didn't get along.

The fact that she mistook herself for Si Zhen meant that she hadn't seen Ning Yu for many years. Either she had moved to another place, or they hadn't been in touch or hadn't met for many years. So their relationship must be very ordinary.

If they had a good relationship, with Ning Yu's personality, she would definitely be very warm and not like she is now, looking disinterested.

"Well, I'm back because of my job transfer. Ning Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we have dinner together tonight. I haven't seen you and Brother Si for so long, let's get together."

There was a smell of tea in the air.

Although he is over 40 years old, he speaks in a deliberately coquettish tone.

You have to know that this was the 1970s. People in their 40s could become grandparents, and they were afraid that they were not stable enough in public. Who would speak in that tone?

There is no such thing as a middle-aged girl nowadays. People are considered old men or old women before they reach fifty.

"We don't seem to be that familiar with each other?" Ning Yu was a little impatient, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

"Hey, you, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. You're pretending not to know me, right?" Ma Xiaolan deliberately pulled Jiang Yan and said, "Si Zhen, you don't know your mother. She is so narrow-minded. Isn't it just the thing between your father and I back then? She still remembers it."

Wow, my goodness, this matter involves her father-in-law, a love rival?

Is it possible for her, the daughter-in-law, to hear about things her parents-in-law did when they were young?

"What's the matter?" Ning Yu didn't leave after hearing what she said, "When Si Guangming and I were dating, you tried to interfere and try to steal our relationship?"

Ma Xiaolan did not expect that Ning Yu would be so bold and hit her sore spot with just one sentence.

She did want to snatch Si Guangming away back then, but she failed and her reputation was ruined. She could no longer stay in Beijing, so she had no choice but to marry a man and move to another place.

As soon as they met, Ning Yu exposed her past, which made Ma Xiaolan feel a little uncomfortable. She thought that since so many years had passed and she and Ning Yu were friends, Ning Yu shouldn't have spoken like that.

"What you said, isn't it all a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Humph!" Ning Yu pulled Jiang Yan away, "Let's go, don't pay attention to her. Mom tells you, this kind of woman is the most..."

The two walked further and further away. Ma Xiaolan didn't hear clearly what they said at the end, but she knew that Ning Yu would not say anything good about her.

"Bah!" Isn't it just relying on her good family background? If her last name wasn't Ning, would Si Guangming want her?

Ma Xiaolan took the bus back home, sulking all the way.

Ning Yu calmed down at this moment.

"Mom, who is that person?"

Ning Yu said helplessly: "Our old neighbor was not a very good person."

In the past, Ma Xiaolan and her mother lived in an alley near the Ning family. They depended on each other for survival and lived a very tight and miserable life.

Ning Yu has always been simple-minded. She thinks Ma Xiaolan has a hard life, so she occasionally takes care of her and her daughter.

Originally, the two got along pretty well and were considered friends, but the naive Ning Yu never expected that while she treated Ma Xiaolan as a friend, the other party would plot against her partner.

The Si family is well-off. Although Ma Xiaolan doesn't know what the Si family does, every time Si Guangming goes to the Ning family, he buys a lot of things, rides a bicycle, wears a watch, and is dressed neatly.

I take Ning Yu to the movies today and out to a restaurant tomorrow, which makes Ma Xiaolan very envious.

The Si family and the Ning family are a perfect match. Ma Xiaolan doesn't see these and just thinks that she is no worse than Ning Yu. Why can Ning Yu find such a good partner but she can't?

At the beginning, she really didn't want to steal Ning Yu. After all, she had to save face. She thought about finding someone according to Si Guangming's standards. Even if she couldn't find someone exactly the same, she could at least find someone similar, right?

After looking around, I didn't find anyone like Si Guangming.

Either they are old and have many people in their family, or they earn little and look ugly.

Of course Ma Xiaolan was not happy, but she didn't think about it. She was the only widow in her family and could only earn eight or nine yuan a month by pasting paper boxes on the street. She herself was an apprentice in a factory and could not even earn 20 yuan a month. The man was not happy either.

In the end, she could only set her sights on Si Guangming, thinking that she could use her status as Ning Yu's good friend to get close to Si Guangming, and then create more surprises so that she wouldn't be afraid that Si Guangming would be fooled.

As long as Si Guangming showed a little bit of distraction, she would be able to make Ning Yu misunderstand. Once they were both defeated, wouldn't that be her chance?

Unfortunately, although Ma Xiaolan knew Ning Yu, she did not know Si Guangming. Her intentional or unintentional approach had already made Si Guangming alert.

"Your father told me at the time that Ma Xiaolan had bad intentions and asked me to stay away from her. I didn't know that. I thought he was prejudiced against the Ma family and I lost my temper with him twice. Later I found out that the woman had cheated on me several times..."

Ning Yu couldn't say the rest of the words, but Jiang Yan understood.

"So, you have to stay away from people like her. Who knows what kind of trouble she will cause?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "You're right, Mom. But I think you should tell Dad about this matter so that she can be prepared. Tell Si Zhen too, so that everyone can be prevented."

"You're right! But we live in a compound now, so she can't get in even if she wants to..."

The two returned home and put the matter behind them for the time being. Jiang Yan was a daughter-in-law, so it would be better for her to stay out of matters concerning her parents-in-law when they were young.

The next day, Jiang Yan packed her things and prepared to go to the station. Ning Yu insisted on seeing her off, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I can do it alone."

"What are you doing? Where are the two bags? I'll take you to the car. Just listen."

Just like that, on that cold day, Ning Yu rode a bicycle and took Jiang Yan to the train station.
