Chapter 794: Chapter 794: The Substitute Bride Sister 9

Yuan Chun seemed to feel sorry for her, her eyes reddened, and said, "Sister, Meng has a friend who runs a factory in Lincheng, and they are hiring. Since you’re worried about being laughed at, why not work in Lincheng? No one knows you there, and you can start anew."

Mrs. Li slapped her thigh, "Let your sister go. Lincheng is a nice place, even bigger than Gongcheng. If your sister goes, she might meet a better man."

Li Hongchun’s expression froze momentarily, and she said, "Mom, I... I don’t want to be too far from home. I’ve been away from you for eight years, and the regret is painful. I want to spend more time with you and Dad."

Mrs. Li said, "Then go and stay at your elder brother’s place for a few days. His house is big, and there are spare rooms. Yuan Chun’s house is small and doesn’t have spare rooms. If you go there, there’s nowhere to stay, so go to your brother’s house. Oh, by the way, you might not know that both your elder brother and second brother work at Meng Fei’s construction company as small contractors. Meng Fei is a kind person and takes good care of them. They made money last year and bought houses."

"Your elder brother and second brother’s houses are next to each other. If you don’t want to stay at your elder brother’s, you can stay at your second brother’s. Both have spare rooms."

Mrs. Li didn’t want her eldest daughter to stay at her younger daughter’s place.

After all, the eldest daughter is divorced, single, and she and Meng Fei still carry the reputation of being former engaged partners. If the eldest daughter moves into the younger daughter’s home, the village people will mock, and the gossip won’t sound nice.

The reputation wouldn’t be good.

Li Hongchun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Mrs. Li said again, "Hong Chun, your sister has to take care of two kids and Meng Fei. She’s very busy and doesn’t have the time to take care of you. Besides, what sense does it make for you, a divorced sister-in-law, to stay at your brother-in-law’s house? It sounds bad."

Li Hongchun’s heart felt as if suddenly struck by a large stone, making her feel suffocated.

She could only mumble, "Mom, I’ll... I’ll do as you say, I’ll stay at brother’s house."

Fortunately, her brother works for Meng Fei’s company. As long as she uses her brother to get close to Meng Fei, she doesn’t believe she can’t win him over.

After all, Meng Fei was her former fiancé, Meng Fei must have something for her.

Although she didn’t choose Meng Fei in the past and chose Wu Hongwei instead, she shouldn’t be blamed for that. Who told Meng Fei’s background wasn’t good? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been deceived by Wu Hongwei.

To blame, you can’t blame her; blame the bad times instead.

Poor suppresses rich.

For the next two hours, Li Hongchun kept talking about how she was bullied by Wu Hongwei and the Wu family over these eight years.

Mrs. Li cried a basin full of tears from sympathy, almost crying herself blind.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the sun wasn’t so intense. Mrs. Li and Yuan Chun took Li Hongchun to her elder brother’s house. The brother wasn’t home, but the sister-in-law was.

Li’s brother’s mason and carpenter workers were from Tufang Village; they only had lunch at the construction site, and after lunch, the eldest Madam Li returned home.

When Eldest Madam Li saw her mother-in-law and Yuan Chun come back, she joyfully welcomed them into the house.

Upon seeing Li Hongchun, the sister-in-law hesitated for a moment before recognizing her, "Oh, this is Hong Chun, right? How did she age so much? She looks even older than me. What’s wrong, were things tough at the Wu family?"

Due to regular beatings and inadequate meals, Li Hongchun was frail and her skin suffered; not yet thirty, she appeared like a woman in her forties.
