Chapter 695: Chapter 689: Qin Su’e
 

That’s why Qin Su’e was always jealous of Qin Xue. They were both girls, but why was Qin Xue the one beloved by the whole family?

Her own family only cared about her brother, either beating or scolding her, and there was never-ending work to do every day. When there was good food, it was always reserved for her brother, and she never got a share.

But it was different for Qin Xue. Everyone in the family prioritized her, even her siblings let her have her way. Not to mention Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan, who treated Qin Xue like a treasure in the family.

It was this disparity that twisted Qin Su’e’s heart. So, on one hand, she got close to Qin Xue to take advantage and receive help, while on the other hand, she tarnished Qin Xue’s reputation to others.

This brought a thrill to Qin Su’e’s heart, making her feel that a fool like Qin Xue deserved to be used this way.

However, she never expected that things would go wrong when it came to Chu Molin. She once thought that Qin Xue deliberately did this because she liked Chu Molin.

That’s why she hated it even more because Chu Molin ended up marrying Qin Xue, and she got her revenge from Qin Yu. The hatred inside her couldn’t be vented, so how could she possibly be happy?

Qin Su’e always believed that Qin Xue was not sincere to her, that she pitied her. Yet, she didn’t know that whenever Qin Xue had food, she didn’t give it to Qin Yu or Qin Jiale, opting to give it to her instead as a good friend.

But some people are just like this, they never look for problems within themselves, thinking that everyone owes them and should be nice to them. However, they don’t realize that people don’t owe them anything, so why should everything be given to them? Helping you is a bonus, not helping you is the norm. What makes you think people should treat you like a queen?

“I didn’t say anything wrong, right? Some people should have a conscience, as the saying goes, ‘what goes around comes around.’ Don’t overdo things and invite retribution, everyone, don’t you think?” Nangong Shulan didn’t want to argue with these ignorant villagers, but their repeated actions were unbearable to her.

It’s just a woman cursing in the streets, right? As long as she put aside her self-cultivation, she could also curse them out.

“Yeah, Su’e, Shulan didn’t say anything wrong. You should go home. You’re new to the village, don’t overstep or else your husband’s family might not be happy.” Aunt Qin Wu chimed in, but her words were clearly on Nangong Shulan’s side.

“Hmph, whether Qin Xue did anything or not, I believe some people know. Aunt, I won’t argue with you anymore.” After leaving these words, Qin Su’e walked away in a huff.

Still, her words made the people present feel suspicious. Back then, Qin Xue’s marriage was indeed quite hasty. The son-in-law of the Qin Lei family didn’t even appear in their village before, so how did he set his eyes on Qin Xue? Was there really something they didn’t know?

But Nangong Shulan had just spoken up, so they definitely wouldn’t be so tasteless as to go and annoy others about it.

“Shulan, you guys should go home. You still have to tidy up all these things you bought. Some people just talk like that, don’t take it to heart. Just like you said, what goes around comes around. If they’re not afraid of retribution, let them do it. Just don’t regret doing too much when the retribution comes. Right, Shulan?” Aunt Qin Wu smiled at Nangong Shulan.

She didn’t know why there were people in the village who couldn’t stand others doing well. It hadn’t been this extreme before.

What’s the use of being jealous of others? It’s better to do well yourself, earn more, and let others envy you.
