"Really, I don't!" Bai Nuo was completely bewildered and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Where would I get the chance to meet rich people? Auntie, don't joke like that." She really didn't have any money, nor did she know any rich people. What if someone came to ask her for money after she started talking nonsense?

"Stop denying it..." Several other middle-aged women also gathered around, looking at Bai Nuo and chiming in, "We've all heard it, heard it clearly. It's okay to admit it, we won't ask you for money. But, this isn't good, you need to change. You're so young, not even of marriageable age yet, and you already have a man. This is immoral, it will ruin the reputation of our village. You can't do this."

Holy crap?

How did it come to the point of being offensive to public morals?

"I don't!" Faced with such remarks, Bai Nuo could only honestly deny it. "My dear aunt, where did you get the idea that I have a powerful backer? Can't you see? What kind of house do I live in? It's the worst in the village. If I were rich, would I still live in a house like this?"

When the older women heard what Bai Nuo said, they felt that what she said made sense and were already seven or eight parts convinced. However, they still asked doubtfully, "Really not? You can't lie to us older women. That's not right. You're so young, how could you have a man? A young lady should be chaste and self-respecting..." They went on and on, and Bai Nuo could only smile awkwardly.

This group of people stopped washing their clothes. It was one thing for them not to wash their clothes, but now Bai Nuo couldn't even wash the river clams.

"She has a man!" Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the shore, startling the women and Bai Nuo present.

It's Huang Yanfen.

Everyone looked up and saw Huang Yanfen carrying a wooden basin as she came down to wash clothes.

"Bai Nuo, what nonsense are you spouting?" After Huang Yanfen came downstairs, she wasn't in a hurry to wash the clothes. Instead, she put down the wooden basin, looked at Bai Nuo, and sneered, "So you have a man outside, what are you denying? Look at yourself, aren't you dressed just as well as us?"

"Being well-dressed has nothing to do with whether or not you have a man," one older woman couldn't help but say. These two things have no connection, right? Does dressing well mean you have a man? That logic doesn't make sense!

"She has a man!" Huang Yanfen said with certainty. "If other children dressed and ate well, everyone would understand because they have their families to take care of them. But Bai Nuo has become so bad that Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling don't even want to deal with her anymore. How could she possibly have good clothes and food? But now she's suddenly dressed and eating well. What else could it be but having a man? She's just shameless and indecent!"

"I said!" Bai Nuo's face immediately turned cold. "Can you watch your mouth? Who's shameless and indecent?"

"You're shameless and immoral, seducing men at such a young age and letting them feed you. What else is that but shamelessness?" Huang Yanfen crossed her arms and sneered. "I'm saying if you have the guts to do it, you should have the guts to admit it. You're acting like a prostitute and trying to maintain a virtuous image. Aren't you afraid your man will be heartbroken if he hears this?"

"Smack!"

No sooner had Huang Yanfen finished speaking than Bai Nuo slapped her across the face. Huang Yanfen's expression was one of shock and humiliation.

"Bai Nuo!" Huang Yanfen was going crazy. She gritted her teeth and roared, raising her hand and walking towards Bai Nuo. Her steps were so big that they stirred up a lot of waves in the water, wetting other people's clothes.

Everyone stared blankly at the two of them. They had only come to gossip, so how did they end up fighting?

But before they could finish reading, Huang Yanfen woke them up. Seeing that Huang Yanfen was about to hit Bai Nuo, they quickly went up and pulled one of them away, saying, "Forget it, don't argue with a child."

"You too, how could you hit someone?"

Huang Yanfen, though pulled back, continued to struggle forward, shouting as she struggled, "How can you let it go? She hit me!"

"I'm going to hit you!" Bai Nuo looked at his hand, then coldly stared at Huang Yanfen. "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're fat. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll knock your teeth out!"

"Shameless little whore!" Huang Yanfen was furious. The old woman holding her could barely hold her back. With a ferocious expression, she was about to pounce on Bai Nuo, ready to devour Bai Nuo's flesh and drink Bai Nuo's blood.

"My sister isn't shameless! You're the shameless one!" Ah Yu suddenly jumped off the bank, holding a long stick in his hand. "The reason we have new clothes is because my dad paid for them. If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad. If anyone speaks ill of my sister again, I'll beat her to death!"

Seeing Ah Yu holding a stick and protecting her, Bai Nuo felt a warmth in her heart. What a sweet man! He still knows how to care for her. Sigh, at least my kindness to Ah Yu wasn't in vain.

"Forget it, forget it!" The other person holding Huang Yanfen kept telling her to let it go. "It's probably Bai Dalin who gave the money to buy the clothes. Even if Bai Dalin doesn't care about the child, he wouldn't let the child go hungry or cold! Maybe you've misunderstood. Bai Nuo is still so young, how could she do such shameless things?"

"How could I let this go?" Huang Yanfen was furious. Bai Nuo had slapped her in the face; if she just let it go like this, wouldn't she lose all face? "I'm going to kill her!"

Ayu stood firmly in front of Bai Nuo, thrusting his long staff forward. "Come on, who do you want to kill? You can hit my sister, but you'll have to get past me first!"

"Hey, Bai Yu, don't fight!" Bai Yu's stick was grabbed by the old woman in front of Huang Yanfen before it even reached her. "We're all from the same village, why are you so angry? Fighting can kill people."
