Chen Hai simply pushed his bicycle back home.
Aunt Xu noticed that her son looked unhappy and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
This shouldn't be the case. He knows his own species best. He spent so much time and effort on it and even used such precious knitwear as bait. It's obvious that this guy has tempted someone.
Chen Hai entered the room and poured a glass of water for Aunt Xu. He glanced at his mother with his bright eyes and asked, "Mom, have you asked about her marital status?"
Aunt Xu was stunned. Marital status? Jiang Zhiqing was so young and beautiful, and she looked young. Was she married? That shouldn't be the case, right?
Chen Hai sighed helplessly at his mother's reaction, "Mom, don't worry about my affairs. I know what's going on. Don't bring Jiang Zhiqing home anymore. It's not a good influence on him."
"Are you really getting married?" Aunt Xu asked her son, looking up, still a little unconvinced.
Chen Hai didn't say anything, but it was probably true.
Aunt Xu slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, how did they get married? Which bastard is so quick to find such a good girl? What kind of man did he find? He even made his young wife run to the black market every now and then, risking her life to earn a few dollars to buy things for the family. Last time she bought that cloth from me, I thought she was buying it for her brother. If she bought it for her husband, wouldn't she be living off her? What a sin! A good man has no good wife, and a bad man marries a beautiful woman."

Jiang Wanwan and Wang Fang sold out their goods before noon.
When they first arrived, Wang Fang said she wanted to go to the county town for a walk, and the two of them went straight to the department store.
Jiang Wanwan always carries her valuables with her and keeps them in her two-bedroom apartment, including tickets such as knitwear tickets and cloth tickets.
She used the knitwear ticket to buy a set of men's autumn clothes and autumn trousers. Chen Hai could only take one set, so it would be better to have two sets of underwear to alternate.
She also bought some things that she didn't have in her two-bedroom apartment and that she thought were very new.
As a result, I bought a lot of things and found that Wang Fang didn’t buy anything.
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy something? What? I'll go with you."
Jiang Wanwan had almost finished shopping. It was getting late, so if she went to the gathering place now, she might still be able to catch the ox cart.
Wang Fang hesitated for a long time and didn't say what she wanted to buy. Jiang Wanwan saw that she didn't seem to want to buy anything, so she directly pulled her to where the ox cart was parked.
"Since we haven't bought anything, let's go quickly. It will be easier if we catch the ox cart."
I have so many things, but I can't put them in the two-bedroom apartment in front of Wang Fang, so it's more comfortable to take a ox cart.
Wang Fang was reluctant to leave and insisted on dragging her around again. She also offered to help her share the burden. After a few times, Jiang Wanwan finally realized something.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
In the morning, I didn’t want to walk to get warm, but I didn’t want her to ride in the ox cart.
"I...what could I possibly hide from you?" Wang Fang's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.
Jiang Wanwan didn't waste time talking to her and just took her things and walked towards where the ox cart was parked.
Most people who come to the county town go to the department store to buy things. The ox cart is parked under a big tree a few hundred meters away from the department store. From a distance, I saw that the ox cart had not left yet, and there were already several people sitting on the cart. They must be waiting for other people.
Wang Fang suddenly stood in front of Jiang Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, don't take anything you hear in the car to heart. They are just talking nonsense. They are just a bunch of chatterboxes."
Jiang Wanwan understood now. They must have spread some rumors about her again, but she definitely wouldn't take it to heart. Du Jiaming's incident had caused such a big fuss, she thought it was abnormal that these gossip captains didn't say something.
Tell Wang Fang not to worry, she won’t take it to heart.
Before the two of them reached the ox cart, several pairs of eyes on the cart looked over at them.
Jiang Wanwan ignored the gossip in everyone's eyes, greeted the old man driving the cart, and put the things on the cart.
Jiang Wanwan pretended not to hear the whispers in her ears. She knew the ox cart would have to wait a while before leaving, so she asked Wang Fang to help her look after her things while she went to the state-owned restaurant to pack three servings of dumplings.
As a result, before I reached the ox cart with the dumplings, I saw Wang Fang arguing with a few aunts and grandmas from afar.
"We didn't spread this either. Go ask around in the village. Everyone in the Red Star Brigade knows who Jiang Wanwan is."
"That's right, Wang Fang, I'm not saying anything bad about you. There are so many girls in the village, why do you have to befriend just one young wife? Jiang Wanwan must have fallen for you because she's the secretary's daughter. She's an educated youth, how could she be so sincere to you? And you're still here, arguing with the aunts. If your mother finds out, she'll scare you."
"Your Aunt Sun is right. How can a young girl like you, who hasn't even married yet, understand these things? Jiang Wanwan married Lu San because of his strength. Now that Lu San is gone, who can she rely on? Du Zhiqing was found out by her mother-in-law, so she had no choice but to turn against her. Now that Lu San and Du Zhiqing are gone, it's no wonder she hooked up with that idiot."
"You're just spreading rumors. I know Jiang Wanwan's character best. How could she possibly get involved with that idiot? You're slandering her without any evidence. I'll have my dad take care of your mouths later."
Jiang Wanwan, who was not far away, touched her nose innocently. To be honest, she really did get involved with the gangsters, but what they said was definitely not the same thing.
Moreover, Jiang Wanwan was certain that the gangster was always cautious when going to her house and would never be discovered.
The guy was so scared by her that he was afraid something would happen and he would be struck by lightning.
When several people heard Wang Fang bring out the branch secretary, they felt a little guilty.
They just sit together and chat, no one cares whether it's true or not, as long as it's interesting. If they really want to bring it up, no one is afraid to take the responsibility.
"It's not just us who say this. If you go ask around in the village, everyone says the same thing."
"That's right, Xiaofang, you can't just rely on your father being the Party Secretary to scare everyone. Flies don't bite cracked eggs. Why don't you spread this gossip to others but only to Jiang Wanwan? Don't let anyone fool you."
"Everyone says so, but I, the person involved, am the only one who doesn't know. That's really wrong."
The girl's voice sounded behind them. When several people saw Jiang Wanwan not far away, they pursed their lips tightly, acting like nobody, and some even rolled their eyes.
Wang Fang wanted to say something, but Jiang Wanwan gave her a reassuring look, handed the dumplings to her, and turned to look at the people who were shouting the loudest.
"Why don't you tell me, aunts, who told you this? Gossip has to end somewhere. I also want to confront this person and tell him that I'm having an affair with someone else. Did she see it with her own eyes or hear it with her own ears? Aunts, you guys are so bored all day long, so you might as well help me solve the case."
