He Daqing's reaction immediately drew laughter from the middle-aged women.
"He Daqing, Jia Zhangshi is pregnant!" the third aunt explained, while carefully examining He Daqing as she spoke.
Whether it's He Daqing or Jia Zhangshi, they've both kept it very well hidden!
On the surface, the two people don't seem to have any contact, but secretly, she's even pregnant with his child.
"What?!" He Daqing was completely dumbfounded. "How is this possible!"
Old Jia has been gone for so many years, how could Jia Zhangshi be pregnant?
But the next second He Daqing felt something was wrong.
Why did these women in the courtyard call her over when Jia Zhangshi was pregnant, and why were they all smiling with ill intent?
Could it be that they believe the child in Jia Zhangshi's belly is He Daqing's?
“Why not? The old Chinese medicine doctor in the back alley personally took her pulse, and Jia Zhangshi is pregnant!” The old woman in the front yard said to He Daqing with a smile, “When are you two having your wedding banquet? I’ll bring two cents to eat at the banquet.”
Putting everything else aside, spending two cents to eat a banquet prepared by He Daqing is quite nice; Xu Damao made her very satisfied with the meal that time.
Just as I expected!
He Daqing was furious when he heard this: "What does Jia Zhangshi's pregnancy have to do with me? I haven't even paid her any attention!"
In recent days, He Daqing has been very annoyed by the rumors circulating in the courtyard. In addition, Sha Zhu has been constantly suspecting him, which makes him feel a headache whenever he hears the name Jia Zhangshi.
I've already avoided Jia Zhangshi, so why can't the rumors stop?
It's one thing to keep causing trouble, but today they've gone even further, directly labeling him as a womanizer.
Damn it!
Those who spread these rumors are truly despicable. They've at least eaten fine food themselves, how could they possibly look down on Jia Zhangshi's pig swill?
"Huh?? Really? You have no relation to Jia Zhangshi?"
This time, the older women were dumbfounded. Judging from He Daqing's reaction, it didn't seem like he was faking it. Could it be that He Daqing really didn't have an affair with Jia Zhangshi?
That shouldn't be happening!
If the two were completely innocent, why would Jia Zhangshi, with nothing better to do, spread rumors about herself and He Daqing in the courtyard?
It turned out that Jia Zhangshi had been caught in a trap while fooling around outside, and wanted to find a scapegoat in the courtyard. After searching around, she ended up looking for He Daqing.
"It's really no problem. When have you ever seen the two of us together?" He Daqing said irritably.
After thinking it over carefully, the group of women realized that apart from the last time He Daqing asked Jia Zhangshi for compensation, the two of them didn't seem to be in any real hurry.
"Since you're all here, I have something I'd like to ask. Who in our courtyard has been ruining my reputation, saying that I'm having an affair with Jia Zhangshi and that I'm going to get a marriage certificate with her?" Now that things have been brought up, He Daqing didn't care about saving face anymore and wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the matter directly.
The women looked at each other, and finally one of them spoke up.
"It's always been Jia Zhangshi who's been saying that there's something going on between you two."
It really is her!
He Daqing cursed inwardly. He had always thought that Jia Zhangshi was behind this, and her purpose was either to disgust him or to ruin his reputation so that he would never be able to find a wife.
Damn it, all I did was make her pay for a jar of cicadas, did she have to treat me like this?
The angrier He Daqing became, and he didn't care about going out to find work anymore. He stormed off to the backyard.
"Did he go to see Jia Zhangshi?" the third aunt asked uncertainly.
"Probably, but judging from He Daqing's appearance, he seems quite angry."
"Who wouldn't be angry in this situation? She clearly didn't do anything, but we've misunderstood her and accused her of having an affair. Do you think Jia Zhangshi is just bored and has nothing better to do than spread such nonsense?"
"What are you doing? If you ask me, Jia Zhangshi just can't get used to her current life and wants to find someone to support her. Although He Daqing hasn't found a job yet, he's earning quite a bit by pedaling a tricycle."
"Oh dear, let's hurry up and follow them to see what's going on. What if He Daqing attacks Jia Zhangshi?"
"Go quickly!"
The older women immediately became interested and rushed to follow. They weren't worried about whether Jia Zhangshi would get beaten up; they just wanted to watch the excitement.
The rumors that have been circulating in the hospital for so long have finally come to a conclusion today.
"Jia Zhangshi, come out here!"
When He Daqing arrived at the backyard, he let out a loud roar, which startled Jia Zhangshi inside the house.
Um??
Why did He Daqing come looking for her?
Could it be that my efforts these past few days have finally paid off, and He Daqing has finally come looking for me?
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi quickly smoothed her somewhat messy hair. Although she looked down on He Daqing, she still needed him to earn money to support her in the future, so she had to pay attention to her appearance.
"Jia Zhangshi?" He Daqing shouted again, but seeing no response from inside, he assumed no one was home.
"What are you shouting for? Aren't you afraid the neighbors in the yard will laugh at you?"
Just as He Daqing was about to go inside to look for someone, Jia Zhangshi swayed her large buttocks as she walked out. She first glanced at the people behind He Daqing, then waved to him: "Come on, let's go inside and talk. Don't let outsiders laugh at us."
Should we go inside and talk?
He Daqing was almost furious at those words.
really!
Jia Zhangshi spread these rumors just to disgust herself.
If he really went into the house with her, everyone would think that he and Jia Zhangshi were having an affair!
"Jia Zhangshi, I don't think I've ever offended you, so why are you ruining my reputation like this!" He Daqing angrily rebuked Jia Zhangshi: "Because of what you've done, Shazhu has argued with me several times. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll never forgive you!"
"Don't think I, He Daqing, am easy to bully. If you piss me off, I'll beat you to death!"
Sha Zhu's bad temper and foul mouth were mostly inherited from He Daqing, so He Daqing's cursing style was almost exactly the same as Sha Zhu's, and they both liked to threaten people with their hands.
This series of words completely stumped Jia Zhangshi.
"You came to me just to say this?" Jia Zhangshi asked in astonishment.
"Otherwise what? What else could I possibly want from you?" He Daqing said, glancing at the women behind him before pointing at Jia Zhangshi. "In front of everyone, I need to clarify something. I, He Daqing, have absolutely no relation to Jia Zhangshi. That woman has gone mad; she's resorting to any means to get revenge on me."
"He Daqing, how could you be so heartless!" Jia Zhangshi felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had been punched.
"What did you mean by asking me to the movies, and what did you mean by offering to take me out to eat? You heartless bastard!"
It's over, everything is over.
Jia Zhangshi felt that all her recent efforts had been in vain, and that scoundrel He Daqing was so ungrateful!
I've already humbled myself to give him a chance, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.
