Chapter 507 Shameless

"She even said that she didn't want the thing anymore, but I was still here pestering her. It was really outrageous. If it got out, she would have no way to live a normal life. She also said that if I dared to say another word to anyone else, she would tell everyone that I was in a relationship with her."

"I was so scared by what she said that I didn't dare to say anything. Someone happened to come out and Widow Liu left. After I went back, someone kept asking me what Widow Liu and I were doing in the yard. I didn't know whether to tell her or not, so I could only say that I had a stomachache and came back first."

"I originally thought that this matter was over, but today the widow Liu came and said a lot of things in a roundabout way. After listening to her, I finally understood what she meant. She said that since our family is well-off now and has some money on hand, and they are kind people, and they are orphans and widows, and they have no food to eat every day, so we should be kind and give them some money."

"I definitely won't give it to them. You're saying they don't have enough food to eat. I heard that Widow Liu can eat meat from time to time, but she's just lazy and doesn't want to go out to work. Our family is just getting a little better off, and the children are growing up, so there are more things to spend money on. Why should we be kind to her family?"

"As soon as I said this, Widow Liu jumped up and down, saying that our family was stingy and that if I didn't give her anything, I would have to wait and see. She would definitely spread gossip about me and her everywhere, making it difficult for me to live my life in the future. I got even angrier when I heard this."

"I scolded the widow Liu, saying that I have never done anything wrong and that I am not afraid of my own shadow, so I will never be afraid of those nonsense. Seeing that I was not moved, the widow Liu left with a curse."

"That widow Liu has left. Judging from her attitude, she must be angry because she didn't get the money. I don't know what she will say about me when she goes back. I'm not afraid of what those people say about me. I haven't done anything. No matter what others say, it's impossible to make black into white. I just thought that if there are rumors outside, I'm afraid you will think too much, so I told you..."

The more Zhuang Yonghe spoke, the more embarrassed he became. He reached out and scratched his ear, his face full of shame. "It's my fault, actually. If I had just started yelling on the day of the betrothal gift and not been afraid of her, I guess she wouldn't dare to do anything now."

He was stunned.

She really didn't expect that the whole thing would turn out like this.

It wasn't Zhuang Yonghe who was having an affair, but Widow Liu who was causing trouble.

Looking at Zhuang Yonghe's heavy and annoyed expression, it is obvious that what he said is true.

Fortunately, after listening to Zhuang Qingning's words, I decided to ask carefully and hear what Zhuang Yonghe said, instead of secretly asking around or asking the widow Liu. Otherwise, I would have been fooled by the widow Liu.

But this widow Liu...

"You can't be blamed for this. If she had thrown a tantrum at that time, no one would have been able to stand it." He frowned and said angrily.

No wonder, no wonder this widow Liu always likes to tell others that she is having an affair with so and so.

At first I was wondering, this widow has always been a gossip-monger, and it's fine for others to gossip about her behind her back, but why is she still talking about it herself, as if she thinks her reputation isn't bad enough? It turns out that she is using this kind of thing to threaten others to give her benefits!

Those who are thin-skinned keep saying this, saying that even if it is not a lot of money or food, they should just give it.

If she met a scoundrel, she would just take advantage of him. Then Widow Liu would be even more proud. As long as she found a fixed master, she would never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

And the rumors she had heard in the village before were probably spread by the widow Liu herself. This was so that if Zhuang Yonghe told anyone about her stealing, she would have a reason to say that Zhuang Yonghe had taken advantage of her and was therefore throwing dirty water on her.

When word of this spread widely, they just came over to blackmail us.

How could there be such a person? How shameless! "I was a little drunk at the time, and I was a little confused. Besides, it was my nephew who sent the betrothal gift. It was a great day, and it would not look good if there was a fuss because of this, so I didn't shout." Zhuang Yonghe explained, and then frowned and said, "This time I scolded her severely, and I guess she won't dare to say anything in the future."

"It's hard to say..." He said with a frown.

She still knew the character of Widow Liu.

He simply doesn't care about reputation or shame, he's a real piece of shit, otherwise he wouldn't use such a self-destructive method to ask others for money.

This time Widow Liu has hit a wall, and who knows what she might do.

"It's okay. There are so many gossips out there. Some people just like to say those things. As the saying goes, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Let others talk about it. Anyway, we won't lose a piece of meat, and it won't affect our lives. After a long time, this matter will be over."

Zhuang Yonghe said, "And the widow Liu dared to do this, it's nothing more than thinking that I dare not hold on to this matter. If you knew about it, you would definitely make a fuss, and you are also afraid of the rumors from others, but she didn't think that we are of the same mind. She is like a fly that can't find a crack, but it will only make herself unhappy, so she won't do anything else."

"When dealing with this kind of person, the more she makes a fuss, the more excited and complacent she will become. She might as well just ignore everything and let the grasshopper jump. When it gets tired of jumping, it will stop jumping."

He blinked.

That being said, but when I go out, I will hear people talking behind my back, which always makes me feel awkward. If I try to argue, I will be laughed at and I will feel sorry for defending my husband.

This feeling is really... very suffocating! He wanted to go back and discuss it with her sister-in-law.

He was a gentle person, but her elder sister-in-law, who had a good relationship with her, was a fierce one. Once, when they were reclaiming wasteland for farming, someone occupied a field of their land. Her elder sister-in-law picked up a hoe and started a fight with the person. If the whole family had not stopped her, she would have destroyed the stove and water tank in the other person's house.

Since that incident, her sister-in-law's reputation had spread throughout the village, and no one in the village dared to provoke her, including the widow Liu.

If she can't do or solve something, her sister-in-law will definitely have an idea.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You've been busy all morning. I'd better go and make you lunch. After you finish eating, I'll send some to Mingliang and the others." He said, standing up, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to go to the kitchen.

"Let's have stew at noon. Doesn't the family have meat? Let's stew some vegetables and eat them while they're hot," Zhuang Yonghe suggested.
