Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Resentment and Poison

Li Jinzhi felt as if her very face had been torn off in public and trampled underfoot.

Although everyone knew that Li Jinzhi's maternal family was the same Li Family that had caused the misfortune of the Wang Family's Eldest Child,

after all, the neighbors saw each other frequently, and on top of that, there were those who were tempted by a bargain and still hoped to buy cheap goods from the He Family's store.

The two older sisters of the He Family had married into the town for many years and had made a few acquaintances.

Out of respect for the faces of the two sisters and brothers-in-law of the He Family, people would at most grumble behind their backs but never said anything to their faces.

If nobody knew her background, she wouldn't have to feel humiliated or inferior.
