Chapter 1279 - 1306: Trouble Comes Knocking

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1306: Trouble Comes Knocking

But maybe Nianyang was just born with a knack for attracting trouble.

She was clearly keeping a low profile, yet trouble still found her.

That afternoon, Nianyang was carrying a sealed lunch box to the dock to deliver lunch to Li Tingyan.

Although the mess hall provided all the meals for the island’s crew, the food was too unhealthy.

The main dish was coarse rice, which was hard to swallow, not to mention that the majority were vegetables, with fish being the only meat. Li Tingyan worked so hard, how could he endure just eating this? So Nianyang cooked and brought him meals every day.

In just half a month, Li Tingyan had noticeably become healthier and more spirited, while almost everyone else here was haggard and worn out.

To avoid jealousy, Li Tingyan would cover himself thoroughly while working, even using a helmet mask made by Nianyang to cover his face.

The scenery in Island Village was still pretty nice, although it was cold, the air was fresh and smelled particularly pleasant.

Nianyang was walking slowly, but when she passed by the clinic, her path was blocked by a girl.

"Are you the new Saozi, Chu Nianyang, from the family quarters?"

Nianyang took a closer look and realized that the girl in front of her was none other than the one He Suzhi had mentioned, Shuhua.

She considered herself to have no grudge against Shuhua; they had only seen each other once when Li Tingyan returned that day.

Now, half a month had passed, and they had hardly spoken. Why was this girl looking at her as if she had killed her whole family?

Nianyang frowned, "Hello, is there something you need?"

Shuhua pointed at Nianyang and scolded, "You shamelessly stole my man, and you still have the nerve to ask me what’s going on. How disgusting can you get!"

"???"

Nianyang was baffled; what, she stole her man?

When did that happen, and why couldn’t she remember?

"Why are you pretending to be innocent here?"

Shuhua was furious, wishing to tear Nianyang apart, "Look at yourself, you’re married, your child is six months old, and yet, as a married woman, you seduce someone else’s man. Don’t you have any morals or decency?"

Nianyang looked at the overly agitated Shuhua, her face turned slightly cold,

"Miss, you need to be responsible for your words. I don’t even know who you are, I think you’ve got the wrong person!"

"Stop pretending to be ignorant, it’s impossible for me to mistake someone else for you!"

Shuhua’s voice was raised, sharp as a knife,

"You’re Chu Nianyang, Li Ye’s wife, just got here half a month ago, right? I know all about you, and I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

There were people coming and going at the clinic, some were nearby fishermen, and some Saozis from the family quarters coming to get medicine.

Among them was Mei Yanfang, who immediately made a fuss,

"Oh, isn’t this Li Ye’s little wife? How could a married woman with a child end up messing around, stealing a young lady’s fiancé? Two decades ago, she would’ve been drowned in a pig cage."

Her words drew agreement from the crowd, who all looked at Nianyang with disdain and whispered amongst themselves.

"The world is truly going downhill; this woman is shameless."

"Look at her, all fair and innocent, like a vixen!"

"Poor Li Ye, married to such an unfaithful woman who put a green hat on him!"

Nianyang was furious, "Miss, I’ve told you I don’t know who you are, and I have no idea who your fiancé is!

You’re slandering me in public like this; is this how a so-called angel in white behaves? Didn’t you learn about defamation in your studies?!"
