"Your wife always sends things to Chief Zhang, do you know that?"
Huang Hongmei looked so embarrassed that she could hardly speak. "Chief Zhang takes special care of her. Tell me, if there wasn't something between them, would Chief Zhang take such good care of her?"
"Even the clan chief is so old, and she still manages to seduce him. She's the kind of woman who wants to sleep with every man she sees. Who knows how many men she's been involved with behind her back?"
Fang Yan: ...
No wonder she hadn't heard any rumors.
Given Zhang Zongde's prestige and status in Gouzi Village, who would dare to spread such rumors?
Besides, every time she went to Zhang Zongde's house, she would choose to go when Aunt De, her son and daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren were all at home.
If such rumors were to spread, she wouldn't even need to show her face; Zhang Zongde's close relatives would be able to tear people apart with their words.
Besides, even if the rumor got out, aside from a few idiots or people with conjunctivitis, nobody would believe it.
Fang Yan thought that the reason why Zhang Laowu dared to spread such rumors in front of Zhang Jizhou was that he was certain that Zhang Jizhou had only been back for less than two hours and had not yet had time to find out the truth.
Secondly, Zhang Jizhou wouldn't dare to inquire about such matters randomly. Zhang Laowu would definitely recommend a few people for Zhang Jizhou to ask them.
Third, they tried to sow discord between Zhang Jizhou and Zhang Zongde. If Zhang Jizhou really fell for it, his relationship with Zhang Zongde would definitely break down.
From then on, Zhang Zongde would no longer be able to protect her and Xiaoyuzai.
If it weren't for Zhang Zongde's protection, wouldn't she and her child have been subjected to humiliation by the Zhang family?
hehe!
This old white lotus, don't be too calculating, don't be too malicious.
Fang Yan stopped talking. She thought that in the past, because the original owner didn't say anything, in another sense, the original owner's behavior was also a kind of cover-up, which is why Zhang Jizhou didn't find anything.
Now, she has picked out all the things that needed to be picked out.
If Zhang Jizhou is still fooled by Zhang Laowu and the others, then she can kick him out of the house immediately without the slightest hesitation!
She can accept a man with low emotional intelligence, who is dull, honest, uninteresting, and lacks romance.
But she absolutely cannot accept a man who is stupid, dumb, and blind!
Zhang Jizhou glanced at the doorway seemingly unintentionally, a mocking smile subtly appearing at the corner of his mouth. He feigned ignorance and asked Huang Hongmei, "What do you mean by that?"
"Third brother, have you gone stupid from being in the army all these years? You don't even know what this means?"
Huang Hongmei was practically speechless. "What I mean is, your wife has slept with Chief Zhang, and you're still completely unaware."
She was practically speechless inside. Why did she have to be so blunt?
Huang Hongmei thought that when she said those words, Zhang Jizhou would definitely fly into a rage at Fang Yan.
After all, what man can tolerate his wife cheating on him?
However, to her astonishment, Zhang Jizhou was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Zhang Laowu and asked him, "Dad, did you see it? Or did you catch them in the act?"
Zhang Laowu: ...
“How can you catch someone in the act like this?” Zhang Laowu also felt that Zhang Jizhou had been dulled by the army. “However, we did see it. The two of them, disheveled, came out of Uncle De’s house one after the other, acting suspiciously.”
"Zhang Mushuan!" Zhang Zongde could no longer contain himself and stormed in, his anger blazing. "You saw me and Lao San's wife, disheveled, leaving my house one after the other? What month, what day, and what time did you see us?"
The village chief stood beside Zhang Zongde, staring at Zhang Laowu speechlessly, wishing he could drag him over and give him a good beating.
Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei were so shocked and surprised that they froze. They both stood up from their chairs. Zhang Laowu was so surprised and frightened that he couldn't even speak properly, "Uncle... Uncle De, you... how did you get here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you would say such things just to sow discord between me and Lao San!"
"Your third son is your son. How can you feel good talking about him like this?"
Zhang Zongde hadn't been this angry in many years. He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Zhang Laowu across the face. "Don't call me uncle anymore. I don't have a heartless, beastly junior like you."
"Uncle De!" Old Zhang exclaimed in shock, covering his face and not daring to even breathe. He slapped Huang Hongmei twice across the face and angrily scolded her, "It's a disgrace to my family to have married a gossipy woman like you!"
After hitting and scolding me, he turned around and quickly explained to Zhang Zongde, "Uncle De, it's only right that you hit and scold me. Please don't say those things. I was confused for a moment and fell for this woman's trick. It's all my fault. If you hit me a few more times and scold me a few more times, I will accept it all."
Fang Yan rolled her eyes. How could this old man, Bai Lian, be so shameless as to use Bai Lian's tricks so skillfully?
Zhang Zongde was so disappointed that he felt disgusted even looking at Zhang Laowu. He simply turned around and said to the village chief, "You handle this matter. What Laosan is doing in the army is all important. We can't help him with anything else, but at least we have to help him take care of his wife and children so that he can't be distracted while he's working."
When Zhang Zongde was young, he experienced that era of war and turmoil.
At that time, the common people suffered, but the soldiers suffered even more.
He has the utmost respect for soldiers.
Moreover, he knew that Zhang Jizhou was handling extremely important matters in the military.
He felt even more strongly that, as fellow villagers and elders, they had an even greater responsibility to help take care of Zhang Jizhou's family.
Previously, this family included Zhang Laowu, of course.
Now, Zhang Zongde is too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
"Uncle De!" Old Zhang was panicked and frightened.
Given Zhang Zongde's prestige in the village, and even in several nearby villages, if people knew that he had been severed from Zhang Zongde's side because of his slander against Zhang Zongde, he would be in serious trouble.
Then, most other people will also break with him.
Zhang Laowu experienced the period of hunger more than 20 years ago.
We all know that there will always be times when we need others to look out for us and help us.
If no one pays attention to him, what will he do when he needs help from others in the future?
Today's events were merely a scheme to set up Zhang Jizhou, causing him to turn against Zhang Zongde, and thus disappointing Zhang Zongde so that he would no longer protect Fang Yan and her son.
But he didn't know why things had turned out this way.
Oh, right!
It was Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan who must have called Zhang Zongde and the village chief over.
But they wouldn't let them in, which is why he suffered such a big setback!
Zhang Laowu immediately blamed Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan for this.
