Inside the flower shop.
Jiang Ming was still cursing and complaining.
"You've had it so hard all these years."
"Mom, Dad, and I all saw it."
"Even though you weren't usually in the village, rumors about you were always spreading."
"Some people said you went out and sold yourself, got knocked up, and had two kids."
"Some said you were sold off to the mountains and barely managed to escape, but you couldn't bear to abandon those two bastards."
"Others said you were a surrogate."
"You know how those gossips in the village are. They can't wait to see someone pretty like you end up miserable."
"Especially some of the women your age. They've been jealous of you since you were kids. When they saw you raising two kids all by yourself, you can't imagine how happy they were."
"Every time I heard those rumors, I'd get so angry I'd go door to door, looking for the people who started them."
"You know how long I caused a ruckus."
