Zhou Yi pulled Yun Xiaoyun and quickened his pace back to his yard. Then he asked her to prepare the ingredients at home first, and then turned around and went out.
She wanted to find out what the rumors were all about.
Zhou Yi came to the banyan tree where the military wives usually liked to gather and chat about family matters.
Sure enough, a group of military wives had already gathered and started chatting. She walked over and stood quietly to the side without saying a word. No one noticed her and continued to chat excitedly:
"I got up early today. Guess what I saw?" A woman with a wide mouth, sausage lips and high cheekbones said mysteriously, arousing everyone's interest.
"What did you see? Don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly." Another military wife beside her urged her to speak quickly. This was Mrs. Huang. Zhou Yi recognized her. She had been to their yard when they first moved in.
"That's right, just tell me quickly." Several women around her also urged her.
"I'm really embarrassed to say it out loud~" The loud-mouthed woman seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking very disgusted.
"Oh, Sister Wang, please tell me quickly. I'm so anxious." Sister Huang urged again.
It turned out that this big-mouthed woman was Mrs. Wang. Zhou Yi took a special look at her and remembered that she was there when the Su family came to visit. She seemed to be the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Huang from another battalion. It was said that Deputy Battalion Commander Huang often did not go home, so she spent her days gossiping about other people. Today she talked about this family, tomorrow she talked about that family, and she was a gossipmonger.
"Then I'll tell you what I'm saying." Sister Wang cleared her throat and lowered her voice. "This morning, just after dawn, I passed by Deputy Battalion Commander Yun's gate and saw his sister escorting a man out. After the man left, his sister nervously looked around to see if anyone had seen her before quickly closing the gate. What do you think happened?"
"You mean~ Deputy Battalion Commander Yun's sister is not living a decent life? Before marriage?" One of the military wives said quickly.
"I think it's almost right." Mrs. Wang said with certainty.
"No way, hasn't Deputy Battalion Commander Yun's sister only been here for two days? She looks like a well-mannered scholar, she wouldn't do something like this, right?"
"That's right, I heard that he was admitted to Jinghai University and came here to register. He doesn't seem like a fickle person. Is there any misunderstanding?" Some military wives still spoke up for Yun Xiaoyun.
"That's right, don't destroy other people's children's innocence for no reason, or you will be punished by God." A military wife with a strong sense of justice said angrily, and then turned around and didn't look at Wang's gossip.
"Bullshit! She can do such shameless things, and yet she can't let us say anything? Not going to Jinghai University to report her for her improper lifestyle is already giving face to Deputy Battalion Commander Yun, okay." Mrs. Wang snorted in disdain.
Several military wives nearby also echoed and agreed with what Mrs. Wang said.
After hearing this, Zhou Yi finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the trouble caused by saving Li Zhao last night also involved Yun Xiaoyun.
Hearing that Mrs. Wang was adding fuel to the fire and talking even more outrageously, she was so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot and kill this gossipy woman.
She couldn't help herself, and after figuring out what was going on, she couldn't bear it anymore and went straight to him:
"Sister Wang, do you know what's going on? You're just talking nonsense here. You don't know how long your tongue is, do you? I'm telling you, it's spread out into the streets and into the city. You're wasting money by gossiping all day long."
Everyone was shocked to see Zhou Yi here. They felt awkward, as if they were caught talking behind someone's back, and forgot to react for a moment.
Mrs. Wang was the same. She just kept saying "you~you~you~" for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Zhou Yike hadn't scolded her enough, and she dared to come and tease Xiaoyun. Don't tell me that this Wang Sao thinks that they are just two young women and are easy to bully:
"What do you mean by 'you'? I see you're only a few years older than us. How interesting is it to gossip about others with such a sneaky look? How boring is your life? You spend all day imitating that King Yama posting notices and spouting nonsense."
"As your sister-in-law, you are also responsible for your sister-in-law's immoral behavior. Do you think you are right?" Sister Wang reacted, put her hands on her hips, and stared at Zhou Yi with a ferocious look.
"You are really covered in hair and yet you call others monkeys. What has my sister-in-law done that is immoral? She is innocent and clean, and she is brave enough to do what is right. How can you say that she is immoral?" Zhou Yi asked back.
"Oh, so you saw a man walking out of my yard and concluded that my sister-in-law was having an affair. I also saw Huang's husband walking out of your yard that day. Does that mean you're having an affair with him?"
Zhou Yi deliberately glanced at Mrs. Huang standing beside him and said, "Come on, let's throw the dirty water together."
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wang was annoyed by Zhou Yi's words.
Mrs. Huang, who was standing by, pulled her collar and asked, "My man went to your house? What was he doing there?"
"Oh, Mrs. Huang, that's not true. Don't listen to her nonsense." Mrs. Wang said with a gleam in her eyes.
Zhou Yike was not talking nonsense. She came back late that day and saw Mrs. Huang's man coming out of her yard with her own eyes. At that time, she thought it was normal for neighbors to move around. But looking at Mrs. Wang's reaction, could there really be something fishy going on?
However, if there really is something fishy going on, it’s really puzzling. How could Mrs. Wang, who has such a big mouth, do such a thing?
Mrs. Wang quickly pushed Mrs. Huang's hand away and shouted fiercely at Zhou Yi, "You say you're innocent? How could a girl from an honest family let a strange man stay overnight? And you're acting bravely? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
