"Shujuan, don't talk nonsense." Huang Xiuhong blushed.
Huang Xiuhong was angered by Huang Shujuan.
If Zhao Zhenzhu hadn't reminded her beforehand, Huang Xiuhong would have thought Huang Shujuan was just straightforward and a bit outspoken.
But now, Huang Xiuhong discerned several other layers of meaning in Huang Shujuan's words.
What do you mean by "everyone who comes to propose marriage lately brings valuable gifts"?
Does this imply that Huang Xiuhong is greedy for money? Or does it suggest that Huang Xiuhong has a chaotic love life?
"Xiuhong, it's only natural for men to marry and women to marry when they're of age! It's a good thing that a matchmaker is coming to propose marriage, you don't need to be shy." Huang Shujuan covered her mouth and giggled.
"Shujuan, you should leave!" Huang Xiuhong didn't want to hear Huang Shujuan speak and directly told her to get rid of her.
Unfortunately, Huang Shujuan is very thick-skinned.
“Xiuhong, we’re best friends, I’ll stay and give you some advice! If I hadn’t been quick-witted last time, you wouldn’t have known that Boss He was a gangster! I exposed Boss He’s true colors for you, and you haven’t thanked me yet!” Huang Shujuan said with a grin.
It would have been better if Huang Shujuan hadn't mentioned He Bo. But when He Bo was mentioned, Huang Xiuhong felt so frustrated that she wanted to slap Huang Shujuan.
Unfortunately, Huang Xiuhong was afraid that her parents would misunderstand, so she didn't dare to mention He Bo's matter to Huang Shujuan.
"Shujuan! Didn't you go to town to see your boyfriend today? Why do you have time to come and visit my Xiuhong?" Zhang Yuping couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and came out.
"Auntie, I went to town this morning. I was hoping that Brother Xiaobao could plead with Boss He to let Xiuhong off the hook, but unfortunately, Brother Xiaobao had something to do and went out today, so I couldn't find him. Auntie, please don't mind that I couldn't help you today." Huang Shujuan eloquently took credit for herself.
"Shujuan, you're very kind. However, we have our own plans for Xiuhong's matter, and it's none of your business," Zhang Yuping said calmly.
Zhang Yuping was over fifty years old, and Huang Shujuan's little schemes could not be hidden from her.
Previously, Huang Shujuan only came to visit Huang Xiuhong every day, at most getting some food and drink from Huang Xiuhong, but did nothing to harm Huang Xiuhong.
Zhang Yuping thought that her daughter was straightforward and Huang Shujuan was full of tricks, so it wouldn't be bad for the two of them to complement and learn from each other.
Starting the day before yesterday, Zhang Yuping began to dislike Huang Shujuan.
If Huang Shujuan truly cared for Huang Xiuhong, she should have secretly explained He Bo's identity to her or Huang Youliang, instead of publicly exposing He Bo as a gang leader.
Even though He Bo was kicked out by Huang Youliang on the spot.
Huang Xiuhong's reputation was somewhat affected in the village.
In the past two days, some rumors have been circulating in the village.
Some people say that Huang Youliang's family spoils Huang Xiuhong too much, and that Huang Xiuhong dresses up in a flamboyant way every day, which is why she was targeted by the town's gang leader.
Some say Huang Xiuhong and the gang leader have long been in love, and Huang Youliang's interference has surely earned him resentment. The people of Huangjia Village should be careful when going to the town market from now on. The gang leader might deliberately cause trouble.
Some people say that Huang Xiuhong had already been assaulted by a gang leader in the alley, which is why the gang leader came to propose marriage.
······
Zhang Yuping felt an intense hatred for Huang Shujuan whenever she thought of those rumors.
If Huang Shujuan hadn't talked nonsense at their house that day, how could these rumors have appeared in the village?
However, despite her anger, Zhang Yuping couldn't immediately break ties with Huang Shujuan.
Otherwise, there will be rumors in the village tomorrow that Huang Shujuan told the truth that day and Zhang Yuping is holding a grudge against her or something.
"Auntie, Xiuhong is my good sister. How can I not help her when she's in trouble? I've eaten a lot of food from your family since I was little. Now that I can at least help, how can I not help Xiuhong?" Huang Shujuan shamelessly tried to make herself look good.
Zhang Yuping was furious.
Just as he was wondering how to retort, Zhao Zhenzhu walked over.
"Your name is Huang Shujuan, and your boyfriend is Liang Xiaobao from town? Doesn't Liang Xiaobao have an older sister named Liang Xiaohe?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
"Yes, sister, do you know Brother Xiaobao?" Huang Shujuan asked with a smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu is dressed quite fashionably today and doesn't look like a country person at all.
Huang Shujuan usually envies those people in town who have jobs. She dreams of being able to dress beautifully like Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu took the initiative to speak to her, which made Huang Shujuan feel flattered.
“If your little Bao has an older sister named Liang Xiaohe, then I do know him,” Zhao Zhenzhu said arrogantly, glancing disdainfully at Huang Shujuan.
"Sister, do you live in town too? Which company do you work for? Can I come over to your house next time there's a market?" Huang Shujuan hurriedly tried to establish a connection.
Zhao Zhenzhu glanced at Huang Shujuan with great interest.
It has to be said, Huang Shujuan is quite a character. Her shamelessness rivals that of Liang Xiaobao's father, Liang Tuyou.
No wonder there's a saying that people who aren't family don't enter the same door.
In her past life, Huang Shujuan relied on her thick skin to completely control Liang Xiaobao's older sisters.
Seeing that Zhao Zhenzhu remained silent, Huang Shujuan hurriedly said, "Sister, Xiuhong and I are good sisters, you won't not welcome me, will you?"
“Yes, you are not welcome in my home. I have a grudge against Liang Xiaohe. I hate everything and everyone related to her,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
"Huh?" Huang Shujuan's face paled.
I was careless.
Huang Shujuan originally thought that Zhao Zhenzhu brought up Liang Xiaobao because she had a good relationship with the Liang family!
Why are city people so cunning?
"Also, Liang Xiaobao didn't go out on business today; he was arrested by the police." Zhao Zhenzhu dropped another bombshell.
