Chapter 16 Rumors and Gossip
Find someone who was close to Zhang Sufeng, pull them aside and ask, "Sister-in-law, what has happened these past few days?"
The person stopped by Zheng Jiayu looked very unhappy: "Jiayu, have you offended someone?"
"No."
“These past two days, some people have said that you took advantage of Su-Fen giving birth to seduce Da-Li.”
Zheng Jiayu pointed at herself instinctively: "Me, seducing Brother Lin? Where did this rumor come from?"
"It seems like someone saw you and Dali pulling and tugging at each other a couple of days ago."
"Not only that, they also said that Dali gave you a lot of things, and that you seduced Dali for money."
Zheng Jiayu was so angry she actually laughed.
I never expected to be talked about like this.
And they said it so confidently and logically.
"Jiayu, what exactly happened? Sufen is still in her postpartum period, and I don't dare to ask her what happened."
"Sister-in-law, those people are just talking nonsense."
Zheng Jiayu told her sister-in-law next to her why Lin Dali would deliver things to their house.
After hearing the specific reasons, the sister-in-law immediately became angry: "These people are really good at talking nonsense."
Lin Dali delivered the gifts out of gratitude for Gu Yunting's words that saved his wife and children, but it turned out to be Zheng Jiayu seducing Lin Dali.
What kind of situation is this?
"These people are talking nonsense. No, I have to tell Dali about this. Girl, come with me."
Ignoring Zheng Jiayu's objections, the sister-in-law next to her pulled her away to find Lin Dali.
Lin Dali smiled as he saw the two of them approaching: "Sister-in-law Cuihong, sister-in-law, you're here. Sufen is inside taking care of the child."
Liu Cuihong said with a grim expression, "Dali, we're not here to see Sufen today, we're here to see you."
Lin Dali looked at Liu Cuihong with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Cuihong, is there something you need from me?"
“These past two days, people have been saying that Jiayu seduced you, and that you even gave her a lot of things. Now, the things people are saying are really nasty. You have to make things clear to those people, because this concerns Jiayu’s reputation,” Liu Cuihong said seriously.
Hearing the noise outside, Zhang Sufeng, taking advantage of the fact that her child was asleep, pushed herself out to say hello.
Who knew that as soon as I came out, I would hear Liu Cuihong say such things.
Knowing that someone was spreading rumors and ruining Zheng Jiayu's reputation, she immediately became furious.
"Sister-in-law, who said these things?"
Hearing the angry voice from the side, Zheng Jiayu and the others were startled.
Turning my head, I saw Zhang Sufeng standing there, her head wrapped up and her body supported by a bandage.
Liu Cuihong quickly went over to help Zhang Sufen up, saying, "Why are you getting up? Lie back down quickly."
Zhang Sufeng gripped Liu Cuihong's arm tightly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, just tell me who said such things."
"Nobody knows who started it at first, but later it was just a few gossipy people in the family compound spreading rumors."
Zhang Sufeng pushed Liu Cuihong away, turned around, grabbed a rolling pin from the kitchen, and stormed out.
Seeing Lin Dali still standing there, Zheng Jiayu said anxiously, "Brother Lin, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow her. Your wife just gave birth and is still weak."
Lin Dali and Liu Cuihong then realized what was happening and quickly chased after them.
When Zhang Sufeng caught up with them, she had already encountered those who were talking about Zheng Jiayu on the drying ground.
And yet, he was spouting nonsense there.
"Zheng Jiayu is a shameless little slut. She saw that Lin Dali was a good person, so she seduced him. That's why Su Fen had two children with Dali. The world is going to the dogs."
Zhang Sufeng struck the other person on the shoulder with the rolling pin, causing him to scream in pain.
"Zhang Sufeng, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? I'll beat you to death if you keep talking nonsense here." Zhang Sufeng beat anyone who mentioned Zheng Jiayu severely.
Zheng Jiayu quickly went over and pulled her away: "Sister Sufen, you still have wounds on your body. If you are attacked, it will tear your wounds open."
"I can't care about that anymore."
“If it weren’t for your Captain Gu, my child and I would be dead. Dali just brought some things to thank you, and people are talking about him like this and ruining your reputation. Is this something a human being would do?” Zhang Sufeng became angrier the more she thought about it.
Zheng Jiayu is such a wonderful girl.
He speaks softly and gently; he's still a high school student.
When talking to them, we don't look down on them because they are from the countryside; we even help them.
These people believe everything they hear; they're practically blind and delusional.
Those who were talking about Zheng Jiayu felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing Zhang Sufeng's explanation.
At this moment, Liu Cuihong arrived with her superiors.
When the leader arrived, he saw Zhang Sufeng, her face pale, hitting someone with a rolling pin.
"Stop! What's going on?"
Upon hearing the leader's voice, Zhang Sufeng angrily wiped away her tears and recounted all the things these people said about Zheng Jiayu seducing Lin Dali.
Upon hearing this news, even the leader's expression turned grim: "Who started this?"
The middle-aged women smiled awkwardly and dared not say anything more.
Seeing their reaction, the leader spoke in a cold voice: "Speak."
"If you don't talk, I'll call your husbands back and make this clear in front of everyone." The leader's face darkened as he saw that they were still pretending to be stupid at this point.
Those who had spoken the most vehemently remained silent, offering no apology to Zheng Jiayu after the misunderstanding.
Seeing that they were still silent at this point, the leader said coldly, "Go and call them all here."
Those who are close to the leader, hurry up and call for help.
There wasn't a single wasted word throughout the entire process.
While waiting for the others to arrive, Zheng Jiayu looked at the people who had spoken ill of her and asked, "I'd like to ask you ladies, what exactly did I do to offend you?"
Even if most people hear gossip, they wouldn't say it so harshly. But they're different; what they said was extremely offensive.
It was as if they wanted to kill her.
This surprised Zheng Jiayu.
"She comes in and steals someone else's husband, and then she won't even let people talk about it?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiayu knew what was going on.
So these people were standing up for Shen Lin.
The leader immediately understood what was going on.
"Auntie, you're saying I stole someone else's husband as soon as I arrived? Don't you know whose husband Gu Yunting is?"
"So, Gu Yunting was already married before me?"
Zheng Jiayu's question left the woman who was speaking speechless.
Before Zheng Jiayu, Gu Yunting had no one he liked.
They were not married.
The leader said with a sneer, "Gu Yunting is not married. He has always been single until you brought him here, at which point he got married."
"So you weren't married? What do you mean by that, Auntie?"
Are you insulting me, or are you standing up for someone?
