Lin Qin smiled. "Wrong! Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself. A woman must be independent. When I first married Chen Wenjun, we were dirt poor and crammed into a boat. If we hadn't bought this island and built this house, I wouldn't have dared to have children. It’s only this year that I’ve had the energy to study for the entrance exam; before that, I was always inconsistent, and even Teacher Su couldn't stand it."
Liu Ling laughed out loud, winking as she said, "No matter what, you’re still impressive. I came to see you today to talk about Xu Manzhi. That woman was locked up for a few days, lost her job, and went crazy as soon as she got back yesterday. She cursed everyone in the Liu Family, including you, of course. But I didn't think you’d want to hear that nonsense, so I won’t repeat it."
"Oh! Then I should thank you, I suppose!" Lin Qin said, half-laughing and half-sighing. "I was Xu Manzhi's sister-in-law for years; how could I not know her character? She’s feigning repentance—who is she trying to fool? If she isn't taught a lesson, she’ll never learn. Everyone knows she was in the police station, and from now on, people will talk behind her back wherever she goes. Let her taste what it’s like to be gossiped about!"
