Hongjia Village was originally quite far away, but Shen Hongyan had the ability, and what she said finally spread to Hongjia Village!
When the message reached there, the words were already extremely harsh, but the main character remained unchanged: Hong Meimei.
Hong Meimei's mother had just returned from working in the fields when she saw several old women from the village wandering around her doorstep.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" asked Hong Meimei's mother.
The old woman called Auntie looked at Hong Meimei's mother and asked mysteriously, "Meimei's mother, is your Meimei pregnant?"
Hearing this, Hong Meimei's mother's heart skipped a beat and she immediately panicked, but she still maintained a smile on the surface.
"Auntie, who told you that? My Meimei is only a few years old, how could she be pregnant?"
"But didn't I see a bunch of people coming to your house with gifts a few days ago..."
"Oh, you're talking about that one! My daughter Meimei does have a boyfriend. That guy is really handsome, honest, and not a bad guy. His family is good, and he treats Meimei well, so we thought that if we really missed such a good guy, we would have nowhere to cry. Although Meimei is only eighteen, she is already an adult, so it didn't matter in the end. When you saw it, it was Meimei's boyfriend's family who came to propose marriage!"
Although her daughter was indeed pregnant, Hong Meimei's mother would never admit it.
"Speaking of which, my son-in-law is really good. He made it as grand as Chinese New Year when he came to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law the first day. The two bottles of wine he brought were really good stuff. My old Hong is so precious!"
Listening to what Hong Meimei's mother said, which seemed to make her sound convincing, the old woman seemed to be half-believing it.
"Is that true? But why did I hear something about your Meimei?"
"What's the matter?" Hong Meimei's mother didn't pay much attention to gossip.
"Didn't I just tell you that it's about your Meimei being pregnant?"
The old woman kept grumbling, "I heard Meimei fell in love with a boy from some family, but his family didn't agree, so she came up with a completely heartless and evil plan. She got pregnant with his child, and now that she's pregnant, she can't get rid of him, so she has no choice but to marry him."
Hong Meimei's mother laughed and said, "There are so many girls named Meimei. How can you even say directly that the Meimei they are talking about is my Meimei!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but then they pointed it out by name. It's Hong Meimei! It's the exact same name as your Meimei!"
Hong Meimei's mother's face looked a little unhappy.
"Mother Meimei, is your son-in-law's surname Lin?"
"What...what happened?"
"I heard this from the mother of the man who was forced into marriage. That man's surname is Lin! If your son-in-law's surname isn't Lin, then it definitely isn't your Meimei. If it is..."
The old woman looked at Hong Meimei's mother with a very meaningful look.
If that's the case, Hong Meimei would be the biggest scandal in their Hongjia Village.
She got pregnant before marriage and was looked down upon by her husband's family. She was bound to be criticized.
Hong Meimei's mother almost couldn't help but curse on the spot, but thinking of her daughter's reputation, she suppressed her anger and perfunctorily dealt with the old woman.
"You're old, so it's normal to hear these rumors. But they're just rumors. They've been passed around from mouth to mouth, and the meaning has changed countless times. How can you believe them? At least eight out of ten are false. I don't believe them anyway."
