It was now dark, and Gu Meilin also noticed that there were so many people outside. She immediately picked up the bag on the ground, hugged it in her arms, and started crying, showing weakness to Ma Daya.
"Sister-in-law, I know I'm having a hard time right now. I've been so busy lately, thanks to you and my brother for taking care of me. But if you kick us out at this late hour, where can we go?
Sister-in-law, please have some pity on us, mother and daughter. Qiqi is still young, what should we do in such a cold weather? "
While showing weakness pitifully, he secretly reached out and pulled the corner of Ma Qiqi's clothes.
When Ma Qiqi saw her mother winking at her, she also reacted and started sobbing.
"Aunt, please have some mercy on us. It's so cold in the middle of the night, and my mom and I have nowhere to go. Aren't you just asking us to die?"
Hearing the pitiful tone of the mother and daughter, the other onlookers also started talking.
"What's this for? How can you kick people out in the middle of the night?"
"That's right. No matter what happens, let's talk about it tomorrow. Where can two women go at night?"
"The captain's wife is so heartless. When my sister-in-law's in-laws' family couldn't make ends meet, she didn't even help her own family. How can such a person be the captain? She should be fired."
Those who don't get along well with the Gu family are hoping that something bad will happen to them.
Some people who didn't know the truth began to show kindness and condemned Wang Daya for being cruel.
However, there are still some people who understand Gu Meilin's character.
"What do you know? When Gu Meilian was young, she despised the poor and loved the rich. She was married and had two children, but she abandoned her husband and children for an old man in the city whose wife had died. She ran away with that man in the city. In all these years, when have you seen her come back?"
The other one who knew more obviously said: "Your information is not very accurate. I heard that when Gu Meilian was getting together with the old man in the city, his ex-wife was still alive.
The two of them were having sex right in front of the original wife, and she was so angry that she almost died. She deserves the fate she has now."
"I heard that Gu Meilian was sent to be someone's mistress. His previous wife gave birth to three sons, and Gu Meilian only gave birth to two girls. She must have been driven back."
"I heard that the old man is too old to be humane. Gu Meilian's two daughters were born to the old man's sons. They followed the father and then the sons. Isn't this incest?"
"No way! She's so shameless! If people knew she was from our team, how would the girls in our team face the world? If she gets out, people will talk her to death."
Everyone started talking nonsense, no one knew where they heard it, and after it was spread by the middlemen, no one cared about the truth for a while.
"Tell them to get out. They are not allowed to live in our team. Even if they are the team leader's sister, they are not allowed to live in our team. The team leader must give us an explanation."
"That's right. Women with such bad reputations are not allowed to come to our team. Aren't you afraid that she will seduce your men? Besides, how can such a woman raise a good daughter? She will definitely be the same kind of person as her. Don't let your men and sons be seduced by others."
The few women who had just spoken for Gu Meilian also changed their expressions and attitudes.
"Captain's wife, we must kick them out of the Leaping Squad. If people knew there were such bad people in our team, wouldn't we all be laughed at when we go out in the future?"
"That's right, they must be kicked out. We can't protect them just because they are relatives of the captain."
Wang Daya sneered. At first, it had nothing to do with her and everyone scolded her for being cruel. Now that it concerns the reputation of the team members, everyone is filled with righteous indignation.
The branch secretary took the lead and walked out. Although Gu Zhenxing was the team leader, it was not easy for him to show up on this matter.
If he dared to stand up and say a word in Gu Meilin's favor now, he would surely be scolded to death.
Everyone became even more excited when they saw the branch secretary come out, and started discussing it.
"Secretary, throw them out immediately. People with such bad reputations are not worthy of joining our brigade."
"That's right. I heard her husband is a bad element and has been assigned to a farm. Why shouldn't they go?"
"That's right, one is the wife of a bad guy, and the other is his daughter, both should go to the farm."
"What are you doing? If we drive these two women out now, aren't they just asking for death? What if they encounter a wild beast or something? That would be harmful to people." A weak man's voice came from the crowd.
"Whose man is this? Send someone to take him away quickly. He has been bewitched by the foxy girl.
Watch your own men. Anyone who speaks for them has bad intentions. Be careful about those two women living in your house."
Fang Hong, who was standing at the front, was the most angry. She hated women who had affairs with married men. Her husband, Gu Wenshan, was often asked by the young widow to do work, fetching firewood today and water tomorrow. The two often quarreled about this.
Which decent woman would ask a married man to help with work? If it's really hard, you can just find any sister-in-law or aunt-in-law in the team to lend a hand. If there is really work that a woman can't do, you should at least inform the wife and ask for help in a nice way. We are all neighbors, and no one will refuse.
But some people just want to do it secretly, and if they are seen, they say they are afraid that their sister-in-law will misunderstand them. They pretend to be like a little white flower, and only men will believe their lies.
The man didn't dare to speak in this situation. Before he could say anything, his mother and wife were watching him eagerly.
Some people couldn't help but say a few words and were taken away by their wives with their ears twisted. The scene was barely quiet.
The branch secretary is from another big family in the Feiyue Brigade. His surname is Ma, and his name is Ma Zhanguo. He has been a partner with Gu Zhenxing for many years.
In the past, these matters were handled by Gu Zhenxing, but this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Ma Zhanguo did not let him come out.
Li Cuiying was afraid that people outside would cause a commotion, so she asked Gu Zhenjiang to stay in the yard and not come out.
Ma Zhanguo stood at the gate of the Gu family's courtyard, picked up his pipe and tapped it at his feet, coughing a few times: "Ahem, stop making trouble, let's see what you look like."
He looked around and saw that everyone seemed to have something to say, so he reached out and pressed it down.
"I know what you're going to say, but we also have to consider the actual situation. It's so cold at night, where can two women go? If something happens on the way, who will be held responsible?
Is there anyone in the Gu family willing to let Gu Meilian and her daughter stay for one night?"
Everyone immediately turned away, no one wanted to talk to him.
Li Cuiying was unwilling to do so either. Not to mention staying overnight, she wouldn't even let the two of them step into her yard.
Seeing that no one responded, Ma Zhanguo turned his gaze to other people.
"What about you? Is there anyone willing to let them stay for one night? We have to talk about it tomorrow anyway. We can't let anyone sleep outside tonight."
