Huang Ermei, who was sitting next to her, continued, "Why bother asking? There's a cornfield ahead. You don't know where she's going, Mrs. Wang."
"Puff." Suppressed laughter sounded around.
The person who was speaking, Huang Ermei, was a relative of the village chief's wife. She liked Zhao Baili and wanted to ask the village chief's wife to help her propose marriage, but she didn't expect Gao Man to intervene and force Zhao Baili to leave.
Seeing the culprit now, Huang Ermei was like a black-eyed bee, trying her best to embarrass her.
But Su Man was not as angry as she had imagined. She didn't even get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Second Sister Huang, I don't understand what you said. I was clearly going to the front to deliver food to my family. Why did you end up in the cornfield? Are you trying to get in and drag me along to keep watch?"
Su Man pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I still have work to do. Why don't you bear with it for now and wait for me to come back and then I will go with you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to go into the cornfield?"
Huang Ermei was still a girl after all, and her reputation was at stake. Being teased by Su Man like this, her face turned red with anger, and she blurted out, "You did something shameful, and you still want to put the blame on me. You've brought shame upon Daming Village!"
"Oh? I'm embarrassed. Then tell me, how am I embarrassed?"
"You still refuse to admit it. Everyone saw you and Baili Ge in the cornfield. You must have seduced Baili Ge!"
Su Man raised an eyebrow, "Someone saw it, who are you talking about?"
“…”
Huang Ermei originally thought that she could control Su Man by exposing her shortcomings, but she didn't expect that she would have the nerve to quibble here.
She was so angry that she said, "That's what Aunt Wang said."
Zhang Cuihua felt a tingling sensation on her scalp when she was suddenly called out.
Although she likes to spread gossip, she doesn't dare to do it in front of the person.
When Huang Ermei pointed it out, she backed off instead. After all, she and Su Man were a family now. If Liu Ping knew about it, she would definitely not blame her.
So she laughed dryly twice, "Huang Ermei, please don't say anything nonsense, this is not what my sister-in-law said."
Huang Ermei turned her head suddenly, as if she didn't expect Zhang Cuihua to not be on her side at this critical moment.
She said dissatisfiedly, "Sister Wang, you clearly said this, why...?"
Zhang Cuihua couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up, holding her waist. "Oh, I've been sitting here for most of the day, and my body can't take it anymore. I have to go back and rest."
After saying that, she slipped away.
The young girls and wives around saw Zhang Cuihua's guilty look and could guess that the story about Su Man and Zhao Baili having an affair in the cornfield was most likely made up by her.
But Huang Ermei refused to accept it. She pinched her waist and said, "Even if you didn't do that with Brother Baili, you still hooked up with him! You deserve to marry a fool for being so disrespectful!"
Su Man smiled, "Little sister, don't be so harsh. He taught me how to write, so that counts as an affair? Then what about you giving him a bellyband?"
“…”
As soon as Su Man finished speaking, the eyes of the people around her looking at Huang Ermei instantly became playful.
Huang Ermei's face flushed instantly, "Why are you..."
Halfway through her words, she stamped her feet and said, "You're talking nonsense!"
