Chapter 34: Friends Disrupt Birthday Party
Zhang Wenxin was panting and holding Yu Zhile's hand, he walked towards the backyard.
Yu Zhile let her hold his hand and let her catch her breath first.
"You, you don't have to, don't get engaged to Gao Liangyi." Zhang Wenxin was extremely anxious, breathing heavily with each word, and finally almost yelled out these words.
Yu Zhile looked puzzled: "Who?"
"Gao Liangyi." Zhang Wenxin repeated the name.
Yu Zhile frowned and said, "I don't know him, and I won't get engaged to him."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Zhang Wenxin calmed down and slowly adjusted her breathing.
After finally catching her breath, she first told Yu Zhile the rumors in the village, and then told him about Gao Liangyi's experience.
Before she spoke, she swallowed nervously: "Gao Liangyi is a very evil person, don't get too close to him."
"Don't you advocate science?" Yu Zhile raised his eyebrows slightly.
The rural belief in ghosts and gods is deeply rooted in Zhang Wenxin's blood and has a profound impact on her basic way of thinking.
She realized this, her face flushed, and she was a little annoyed: "Are you going to listen or not?"
"Listen." Yu Zhile restrained his joking expression.
"He went to elementary and middle school in the provincial capital, and I don't know why he suddenly transferred back to town for high school. My middle school classmate was his neighbor and said that he would sometimes stand in the yard in the middle of the night and sneer at the corner of the wall, which was very creepy."
"The weirdest thing is that he had five arranged marriages, but the women all hanged themselves. The sister of his last fiancée went crazy and has been missing for a year."
"Don't be fooled by his pretty face and family background. Don't, don't get engaged to him."
Zhang Wenxin spoke in a mysterious manner and gave repeated warnings at the end.
Yu Zhile seemed to be thinking about something.
"You should have gone to the same elementary and junior high school as him. Haven't you heard of this person?" Zhang Wenxin couldn't help asking.
Yu Zhile answered decisively: "I have no impression."
The problem was solved, and Zhang Wenxin wiped the sweat from his forehead caused by running.
"Thank you." Yu Zhile thanked sincerely.
Zhang Wenxin's face, which had finally cooled down, turned red again, and she stammered, "I'm...I'm sorry."
"I should be the one to say sorry to you. I took advantage of you." Yu Zhile was silent for a moment and apologized to her.
"You used me out of helplessness." Zhang Wenxin waved her hand and bowed to her again. "I thought about it for a long time last time. You clearly used me and then broke up with me, but you were still honest enough to point out my mistakes. You have good character."
Yu Zhile also wanted to bend down, and she held his arms up.
Zhang Wenxin said, "You bow to me, and I bow back, and this matter will never end."
Then, she extended her hand again and smiled heartily: "Yu Zhile, let's be friends."
Yu Zhile shook his hand back, and they smiled at each other.
The next second, Zhang Wen said confidently: "Let me make it clear first, my attitude cannot be changed overnight. I have tried my best to get along with her peacefully. You can't break up with me because of this."
"Okay." Yu Zhile smiled at her.
Zhang Wenxin felt that the sun was brighter, and stared at her intently, biting her lip.
On the other hand, the news continued to ferment, and after being traded back and forth several times, it became extremely outrageous.
When the rumor reached Chen Zhao, it turned out that Yu Zhile had abandoned him after having an affair with him, and had used sweet words to cheat him and Zhou Yuesheng out of their money, and decided to find someone to settle down with.
"Nonsense! My sister and brother-in-law have a good relationship!" Chen Zhao was very angry and retorted loudly.
His voice spread to the surrounding areas, cutting off all the gossip discussions.
The educated youth working on the land next to them were the ones who had fallen out with Chen Zhao. One of them looked at him with his arms folded.
"Chen Zhao, you must have been cheated out of all your money. You feel ashamed. Why don't you make it up to Yu Zhile?" The man pretended to be watching a joke, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "I always say that beautiful women are all liars."
"Huangshan, didn't you brush your teeth this morning? Your mouth stinks?" Chen Zhao rushed forward and tried to grab his collar, but was stopped by several others.
During the scuffle, those people took the opportunity to take revenge.
Huang Shan stood outside the crowd and laughed ostentatiously: "Chen Zhao, if I'm not right, why are you so anxious? You really have been bewitched by that woman Yu Zhile."
"Shut up!" Chen Zhao exerted his strength, brushed away the person blocking his way, and punched Huang Shan on the bridge of his nose.
Huang Shan fought back without hesitation and the two men started fighting.
"Stop!" The scorer and deputy captain Ge Tai rushed over.
Ge Tai is 1.95 meters tall, with a sturdy build and very intimidating.
The two educated youths were like newborn chicks in front of him. He grabbed one of them by the collar with one hand and broke them apart with one pull.
"Why fight?" Ge Tai asked with a dark face.
Huang Shan glanced at his biceps that bulged like a hillock and stammered, "He, he hit me first."
"He slandered my sister!" Chen Zhao clenched his fists angrily.
Ge Tai frowned and asked, "Who is your sister?"
"Yu Zhile, she and my brother-in-law have a very good relationship! They spread rumors that my sister is going to get engaged to the town's postman." Chen Zhao pointed out the people who were gossiping one by one, "He, she, they all said it."
Ge Tai glanced at the people being identified, and everyone lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.
"Where did the rumor come from? You didn't explain it to me clearly before leaving work. Ten work points will be deducted from everyone." Ge Tai's voice was deep and powerful.
As soon as he said this, the people present became anxious and began to identify the people around them, and finally confirmed that the rumor came from a man with a pointed chin and monkey face.
The skinny monkey who became the target of public criticism cried out for injustice and completely denied the fact that Old Lady Yu gave him two cents to spread the rumor.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Someone immediately changed his tone: "The stepmother is really vicious. She actually came up with such a dirty trick to deal with her own granddaughter."
"Captain Ge, how do we deal with this situation?" Yu Zhile asked. She and Zhang Wenxin witnessed the whole farce.
Ge Tai asked the scorer to take Chen Zhao and Huang Shan back to the brigade headquarters to write a letter of guarantee, and he and Yu Zhile went to Yu's house.
The people in the fields stretched their necks to watch the fun, but when he glared at them, they immediately buried their heads in their work.
The Yu family's life became more and more lively. The women were busy in the kitchen, the children were playing in the yard, and the men were chatting loudly at the wine table.
"Deputy Captain Ge, I didn't invite you." The sharp-eyed Yu Haiyao caught a glimpse of Ge Tai's figure, and walked closer with a wine glass in hand, his steps unsteady.
He is a petty person and still remembers Ge Tai who did not vote for him at the re-election meeting.
Moreover, he felt that Ge Tai was only in his twenties and could not cause any trouble in the brigade.
"Accountant Yu, you are in a good mood." Ge Tai looked at him with a half-smile, "But I am not here to ask for a drink, I am here to see Aunt Wu."
At this time, Old Mrs. Yu was directing Yang Suyun to do something in the kitchen. When she heard someone looking for her, she came out immediately.
When she saw it was Ge Tai, she shrank her neck guiltily.
"What do you want to see my mother for?" Yu Haiyao looked at him dissatisfiedly.
Ge Tai cleared his throat: "Auntie Wu gave Skinny Monkey two cents to spread rumors about Yu Zhile."
"Today is my mother's 60th birthday, so don't talk nonsense." Yu Haiyao's face turned pale.
But when he saw Old Lady Yu take a step back, he knew in his heart that this was true.
"Skinny monkey." Ge Tai looked back and waved.
The skinny monkey stood up and threw the tattered two dimes at Old Lady Yu, saying, "I'll give it back to you. You cheated me out of these two dimes."
"Le Ni, is this how you watch outsiders disrupt your grandma's 60th birthday?" Yu Haiyao pointed the finger at Yu Zhile.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "Captain Ge, I gave them a chance."
