Neighbors' Discord: A Tale of Envy and Cruelty

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunhua's gaze fell upon Li Chengyuan's visage.

Li Chengyuan stood tall and striking, possessing a commanding presence. His long limbs and strong physique exuded masculinity and strength, accentuated by his dark complexion. His well-defined muscles added to his allure, making him a heartthrob among girls before he tied the knot.

Wang Chunhua couldn't help but feel drawn to him. She often stole glances at him, entertaining thoughts of a potential union and even fantasizing about their future offspring.

However, fate had other plans for Li Chengyuan. He crossed paths with Lin Yanfen during their junior high school years, eventually marrying her and starting a family. Despite being wedded to Guan Haifeng, Lin Yanfen's partner, her appearance was markedly different from Li Chengyuan's striking features.

In response, Wang Chunhua's frustration deepened, feeling somewhat aggrieved by the accusations made by her former crush.

Her cheeks flushed with anger as she retorted, "Why are you being so stringy? When Huo's wife visited your home previously, she must have given you numerous favors, right? It's not about sharing the good things, but rather about transparency within your household. Is it really amusing to conceal such matters? It's just plain stingy!"

Glancing at the villagers who were indulging in food and drink, Wang Chunhua called upon them to pass judgment. "Everyone, please weigh in. Is the Li family's conduct truly benevolent? Can you endure such blatant disregard?"

Fu Bao, nestled in Lin Yanfen's arms, was rendered speechless by Wang Chunhua's words. What kind of peculiar situation was this?

The old lady Li chuckled in response to Wang Chunhua's assertions. "Have you lost your wits out there? Even if it's beneficial, it's still the Li family's affair. Whether you can benefit from it depends solely on your eligibility!"

"What are you talking about? We've been neighbors for over ten years, don't we share some bond?"

"Hah, not at all. Take a good look at yourself. Anyone who tries to be friends with you is just wasting their time!" The old lady Li snapped at her without hesitation.

As tensions escalated between the two families, the little girl in Wang Chunhua's arms burst into tears.

"Don't cry! What good are you besides crying, useless brat!" Wang Chunhua lashed out in frustration at the child, delivering another slap.

The force of the slap left the little girl's face red and swollen. Li Chengyuan and Lin Yanfen were both taken aback, and Lin Yanfen instinctively held Fu Bao close.

Reacting swiftly, the old lady Li admonished Wang Chunhua, "You despicable woman! How could you strike your own child like that? Isn't she your own flesh and blood?"

"Huh! This is my child, I'll do as I please!" Wang Chunhua callously tossed the child to the ground. "Besides, she's just a burden. I don't care for her! If you want her, take her and raise her. I don't want her!"

"Mama!" The little girl comprehended her mother's words and cried even louder. She tried to stagger over to her for comfort, but Wang Chunhua pushed her away in revulsion.

"Aunt Wang, what's your purpose in coming here today? The Li family finally welcomed a baby girl, a joyous occasion treated with love and care. Why then, do you resort to beating and scolding your daughter in front of everyone?" Some villagers questioned, not backing down but rather joining in.

"Indeed, it's shameful behavior! On such a joyous day for the Shen family, you're disturbing the peace. It's uncalled for and unkind!"

"Just look at Wang Chunhua, with her sharp features like a spiteful bird. Those high cheekbones make her look so mean. And that skinny girl of hers, does she even feed her properly?"
