Chapter 65: Rumors
Kong Yizhang naturally understood what she meant. After all, he had already sent someone to investigate the girl's situation yesterday, and naturally knew what happened in her family. "Okay, I was going to give you a reward and a certificate of honor."
Seeing that Kong Yizhang agreed, Liu Chuxue smiled and thanked him: With this honor, not only the villagers, but also the Liu family will have to think twice about what they want to do, and their family will have a better life in the village.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they left.
At this time, rumors were spreading in Liushu Village: "Is what you said about the second daughter of the Shanliang family true?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but the Liu family spread this story anyway."
"Please stop gossiping. Aren't you deliberately trying to ruin the girl's reputation?"
"We didn't say anything nonsense. This was what her aunt said. Can you blame us?"
"That's right. If she was really innocent, this wouldn't have been spread."
Not far away, Liu Ruxiang, who was visiting her parents' home, had a look of disapproval on her face: "Mom, you've gone too far. When my second uncle and second aunt come back and find out that you spread these things, won't they quarrel with you?"
Ge Xiulan said unconcernedly, "I was afraid of your uncle and aunt because of their cowardly behavior."
Liu Ruxiang was thinking about the lawsuit: "Mom, why do you have to pick on the second wife? How did Chuxue offend you? Why do you have to ruin her reputation?"
Ge Xiulan's face darkened immediately: "Which side are you from?"
"Mom, this is not a matter of one side or the other. If you do this, how will my dad and second uncle get along in the future?"
Ge Xiulan was afraid that her eldest daughter would ask questions and say, "Alright, alright, a married woman is like spilled water, so stay out of her parents' affairs."
Her deal with the Chen family was not to be seen in public, so she couldn't say that she did this for her son's future. "Maimang is still young, you should go back to look after the child as soon as possible."
As soon as she heard her mother's tone, she knew that she was hiding something from her, so she couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, even a clay figure still has some earthiness. You better be careful and don't really cause any trouble."
Having said that, she didn't stay any longer.
The couple from the third room, who heard the conversation between the mother and daughter from the first room, asked: "Shanling, what do you think about this?"
Liu Shanling glanced at Ge Xiulan as she left: "You don't know who the eldest sister-in-law is yet. There must be something fishy going on here."
"These past few days, the news about the first snow has spread like wildfire in the village. I don't believe that my parents haven't heard about it, but they haven't stopped it at all. Just wait and see. I'm afraid there will be trouble when the second wife comes back."
"It's none of our business anyway, why are you so anxious?"
"Our little girl is already sixteen this year, and she's about to start talking about others. The girls in the second room have a bad reputation, and you think our room can be better? You really have a pig's brain."
"That Big House"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his wife: "What is the eldest wife afraid of? Ruxiang already has three children, and Jianqiang's wife has been pregnant for several months. As for the two little ones, didn't you hear from the old man that Jiandong has found a job in the city and will go to work in a few days? The youngest one is Ruhua, who is only thirteen years old. By the time she gets married, this matter will have been over.
If we leave this matter unchecked, our family will be the only one to suffer."
"So what do you say we should do?"
"Of course, we'll go find the village cadres to handle it."
"Wouldn't it be bad to go straight to the village officials without telling my parents?"
"Can we solve it by asking them? If they had the will, the matter wouldn't have spread like that. I think they condoned it. I really don't know what they were thinking."
