"Everyone, please be the judge. My daughter is a virgin, why should she be insulted? If she doesn't want the marriage, let's talk it out. Why deceive people like this? She thought she was marrying a good man, but who knew she would end up with a virgin."
The words were rough, but the reasoning was sound. Lin's mother spoke frankly, but Li Jiafu was too ashamed to face anyone. If there were anywhere to hide, Li Jiafu would find a place to hide.
What Lin's mother said wasn't true, and even Li Jiawen blushed, since it was their fault after all.
"Auntie, what you said makes sense."
"Exactly, how vicious must this family be to commit marriage fraud?"
"Pah, what a load of bull! Marriage fraud! That's called being a hooligan, it's a crime, not fraud."
"Yes, this person should be sent for rehabilitation."
...
Those who had previously held a neutral stance suddenly became vehemently opposed after Lin's mother finished speaking, their words filled with contempt as if they were the ones who had been insulted, and they wished they could immediately send Li Jiafu to jail.
"Father, Mother Lin is right. Chastity is a man's best dowry."
Whether intentional or unintentional, Li Jiafu is a rotten piece of trash...
"Cough cough cough"
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Before she could finish her thought, she heard Li Laoda coughing rapidly. Li Yiyi turned around and looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine, I just choked."
He made up an excuse, not knowing how to explain it.
It's not my daughter's fault that she has a rich inner world; it's the fault of the comic books. I'll take those comic books away when we get home and buy some new, wholesome ones for her to read.
Romantic relationships and such are not suitable for a daughter.
Li Laoda regretted it; he shouldn't have spoiled his daughter. Celebrity anecdotes were more suitable and the first choice for his daughter to watch.
Having made up his mind, Boss Li decided to go back and carry it out immediately.
Li Laoda was fine. Li Yiyi, who had turned back to continue watching the show, felt a chill on the back of her head. She touched it, but there was nothing there. How strange.
“My brother didn’t do it on purpose; he was just trying to help me.”
Unable to bear seeing Li Jiafu being scorned, Li Jiawen considered himself brave enough to stand up.
If there's a reason why Li Jiafu is being criticized, it's entirely because of him. He, the culprit, must come forward.
Fortunately, Li Jiawen still had some intelligence and didn't reveal Li Jiafu's name; otherwise, the story would have spread throughout the entire county with that name clearly identified.
The county town is small, but gossip is shared, creating a myth of information sharing.
"Shut up, you old bastard! Who gives you the right to speak here?"
Without exception, Li Jiawen received another slap.
One on each cheek, and it strangely becomes symmetrical, looking much more pleasing to the eye.
I knew it! Our ancestors' aesthetic sense was never wrong.
Everything looks better when it's symmetrical: two eyes, two hands, two legs—all in even numbers.
Even a slap needs to be an even number.
"Daqiang, take her away. We're going back to confront her. Your sister's matter can't be left like this."
Lin Daqiang, with Li Jiafu on top of him, Lin's father on top of Li Jiawen, and Lin's mother on top of Wang Guimei, marched in a large group towards the production team.
Some onlookers hesitated for a moment before returning to their posts, while others, somewhat conflicted, followed in small groups.
It's not a big deal, it's just that it's relatively rare to encounter.
They went there to seek justice for the Lin family, not to watch the spectacle.
Boss Li and Li Yiyi followed behind. With cover, they didn't stand out at all, talking as they went, attracting quite a few people.
At first there were only a dozen or so, but gradually the number grew to several dozen. The leader at the front was still a member of the Lin family, and the group at the back began to grow larger.
[Dad, I knew it! Your passion for gossip is undeniable.]
It's not just us who love it; many more people love it too.
I don't understand. I want to form a gossip squad, so why isn't that allowed?
[Starting a business should begin with children. I've already missed so many years, and just when things were finally starting to look promising, it died before it even began. It's hard to be a person, and it's even harder to be a student.]
Li Laoda's eye twitched. He couldn't believe that his delicate and sweet daughter had turned into Aunt Hua.
Another point is that his daughter's optimistic and cheerful personality is largely due to Mr. Liu's magnanimity.
After the exams were suspended, he rarely heard of parents being called in.
His daughter is different; she practically treats school like home, going more and more frequently. If Teacher Liu were to be a little more strict, his daughter would become a wilted little flower.
Then you'll really end up like a cabbage in the field, crying and crying in the cold winter!
The advantage of a large group is that it attracts more people. Some people who had walked halfway saw so many people coming, asked around, received information, and immediately turned back.
The matter itself is valuable, but gossip is even more precious.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the production team, but no one complained of being tired. On the contrary, they were even more excited. We had finally arrived.
"Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua, you two come out here right now!"
Lin's mother wasted no time and stood at the front door, directly challenging them.
The path leading to the second bedroom was narrow and packed with people; those standing at the back couldn't see what was in front at all.
To prevent anyone from breaking into their house, Li Laoda and Li Yiyi opened the door themselves.
Those who know, know. After politely thanking them, the walls of the main room were filled with people. Standing higher up, the view was more open and clear.
The best spot with the best view was cleared out; they reserved it for Boss Li and Li Yiyi, quite tacitly, without even discussing it.
"Dad, they're quite humanitarian."
They know how to be grateful and reserve the best spots for us.
