"Mom, are we going there by bike?" Ningning asked Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye, "Is that place far?"
"Not far, less than ten minutes' walk." Gu Ye replied.
"Then let's walk there." Jiang Yue thought, it's less than ten minutes' walk, so it should be nearby, so she said to Ningning with a smile: "Bring Ningning a pot of sour plum soup and some snacks, let's go on an outing!"
"Okay, Mom!" Ningning's eyes lit up when she heard the word "outing".
In fact, what Jiang Yue was thinking was that no matter how far the road was, she couldn't ride a bicycle. First, her riding skills were too poor, and the country roads were full of potholes. She was afraid that she would ride into a ditch; second, Jiang Yue considered that this was a women's bicycle, and Gu Ye's legs were too long. Even if the seat was adjusted to the highest position, he couldn't ride it.
And even if Gu Ye could ride, he could only take one person to sit at the back. If it was a men's bicycle with a big bar in front, then Jiang Yue would sit at the back seat and Ning Ning would sit on the big bar in front, which would be perfect.
"Let's go!" Seeing that Jiang Yue and Ning Ning were ready, Gu Ye motioned for them to go out first while he locked the door.
Today is Sunday and the children don’t have to go to school. The staff quarters are bustling with activity early in the morning, with naughty kids from all families coming out to play.
The boys all climbed trees, rolled hoops, and played bullfighting, while the girls gathered together to play with sticks, hopscotch, and jump rubber ropes. It was very lively.
The women were sitting under a big tree at the gate of the family compound, picking vegetables and chatting. From afar they saw Gu Ye, Jiang Yue and their family of three walking towards them hand in hand. They immediately gathered together and started discussing the matter as if they had discovered some shocking gossip.
"Have you noticed that Jiang Yue has become a completely different person recently? She is totally different from before!"
"Yes, yes, now he greets me and smiles when we meet. Before, his eyes were on the top of his head!"
"Jiang Yue and Gu Ye have been married for almost a year, right? I've never seen them walking together! Today, they were holding hands with Ning Ning, just like they were a real family. It's really rare!"
"I also heard that they have a bad relationship and they quarrel all the time! I heard that they were arguing so much that they were about to get divorced a while ago!"
Lian Rongrong was also in the gossip team. She didn't say anything when everyone started talking about it, but now she couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Who said quarreling means a bad relationship? Which couple in your family doesn't quarrel? I haven't seen you get divorced!"
"That's true, but we both gave birth to children for men, so no matter how much we quarrel, we have to take the children into consideration and won't get to the point of divorce! But Jiang Yue and Gu Ye are different. They still haven't had their own children, and Ningning is not their biological child. A family without children——"
The military wife who was speaking suddenly noticed that Lian Rongrong's face turned green. She then realized that she had said something wrong and quickly stopped talking, "Sister, I'm not talking about you, don't take it to heart!"
Lian Rongrong had been married for many years but her belly was still not moving. She had always felt inferior, but she was strong-willed and never showed it. If anyone dared to tell her in person that she couldn't have a baby, she would usually scold him back, to the point that the person would never dare to mention it again.
Hearing these people talking about Jiang Yue's childlessness again, Lian Rongrong sneered, "Why should I take it to heart! What's the good of having so many children who all look like monkeys! It's almost the end of the month, and I think you guys are just too upset to care about whether the couple has children or not when you don't even have enough to eat!"
The woman who was being scolded was unhappy after hearing this and rolled her eyes at Lian Rongrong, "Lian Rongrong, whose child are you talking about? How can you talk like that!"
"I'm talking about the one whose child looks like a monkey spirit!" Lian Rongrong threw the vegetables in her hand into the basket and snorted coldly, "That's what I say. If you don't like it, don't listen!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the military wife next to them hurriedly tried to stop them, "Okay, okay, stop talking!"
The topic was diverted and the women started talking about other gossip. Lian Rongrong had almost finished picking the vegetables, so she got up and left with her own vegetable basket.
At this time, several women gathered together again.
"Did you know? I heard that Jiang Yue and Gu Ye still sleep in separate rooms!"
"Ah? There is such a thing? How can this couple sleep in two beds? Is the news true?"
"I'm not sure if it's true or not. I just heard it! And, I also heard that Jiang Yue wasn't home for several days a while ago. In fact, she ran away with a wild man outside. Gu Ye chased her to the provincial capital and brought her back! Didn't you see that Jiang Yue's face was pale and she had a wound on her head during those days? It was said that Gu Ye beat her! I heard that the wild man was also beaten into the hospital!"
Several women showed expressions of shock and excitement, with expressions that I knew it, "I have said it before, Jiang Yue is not a quiet person, Gu Ye should not have married her in the first place!"
"Who wouldn't say that? Jiang Yue doesn't look like someone who can live a peaceful life, unlike us! But I heard that Gu Ye has already filed for divorce!"
"Is this true? How do you know that Gu Ye has filed for divorce?" Several women became even more excited.
"My man saw it with his own eyes! But I'm only telling you two this, don't spread it around!"
“I know!”
"Don't worry!"
Jiang Yue saw from afar several women sitting together, picking vegetables and talking. From time to time they looked up and secretly glanced at her and Gu Ye. She knew at a glance that they were talking about her.
So when Jiang Yue passed by, she deliberately smiled and greeted them: "What are the sisters-in-law talking about?"
The women were chatting animatedly, but they didn't expect Jiang Yue to greet them. Their expressions suddenly became a little unnatural, especially when they saw Gu Ye looking at them. The woman who revealed the most information even smiled stiffly.
"Whatever, just chat..."
"Then you guys take your time chatting!" Jiang Yue smiled meaningfully.
The women watched as Jiang Yue and Gu Ye each held Ning Ning's hand, and the family of three walked away in harmony. They exchanged glances and dispersed tacitly.
"Gu Ye, guess what they were talking about just now?" Jiang Yue turned around and saw that there was no one under the big tree, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Gu Ye raised his eyelids, "Hmm?"
Jiang Yue's question was very strange. How could he know what those women talked about?
"I guess they are gossiping about us!" Jiang Yue pursed her lips.
"What is Bagua?" Gu Ye's first reaction was the Bagua of Taoism, but he felt that it was not right. He did not believe in religion and there was no Bagua in his family.
"That's right, the thing between us was spread by other people and distorted by rumors!" Jiang Yue didn't know if Gu Ye could understand her explanation.
"It's just a rumor?" Gu Ye frowned.
Jiang Yue thought about it and said, "It's not all rumors, it's probably a mixture of truth and lies!"
Gu Ye's dark eyes narrowed. What could have happened between him and Jiang Yue that could be talked about behind their backs?
