Chapter 152: Lu Xiangxiang and Laizi
"Oh, my God, when did you come? You scared my wife."
"Hey, Auntie, I've been here for a while. I saw you guys chatting so enthusiastically that I didn't dare to disturb you. Come, eat melon seeds. Don't be polite. What's going on? Who likes who?"
Shen Meng took out a handful of plain melon seeds from her pocket and gave each person a small handful. Gossip is an accelerator for promoting human emotions. The old ladies got their chat partners and stuffed one into their mouths. Hmm, it smells good.
People naturally put Shen Meng in the gossip camp. One old lady was kind enough to give her a C position.
"Who else could it be? Laizi. You don't know that when the grain and meat were distributed yesterday, I saw those two people didn't come to postpone the event. Ouch, it hurt my eyes to see them."
"Yes, Uncle Guai and Juying are such good people, but they have such a bad fate. Not only did they marry a daughter-in-law who is a troublemaker, but they also have such a daughter-in-law. First, the engagement was broken off, and now she is flirting with a guy like Laizi. If I had such a daughter-in-law, I wouldn't want to live."
"What the hell, who are you talking about, Lu Xiangxiang and Laizi?"
The auntie next to her looked at her in surprise and shouted, hurriedly pulled her, and looked around, afraid that others would hear it.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? You almost got heard by others. Now it's enough that only we know about it. Juying had a fight with her daughter-in-law yesterday and she's not feeling well now. She's lying on the kang to rest. If they knew about Xiangxiang and Laizi, they'd be so pissed off!"
Shen Meng couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. After all the fuss, this group of people were still talking about Xiangxiang. She thought they were talking about some romantic anecdote, but it turned out they were talking about Xiangxiang.
"Auntie, where did this rumor come from? Xiangxiang is diligent, pretty, filial and sensible, but there is such a thing as a leper. Unless Xiangxiang is mentally ill and blind, how could she be related to him?"
Shen Meng decided to find out the source of the rumor first. It is impossible that someone would frame these two people for no reason. There must be someone behind it. Xiaobin and Xiangxiang are in a good relationship now, and it is only a matter of time for them to get married. She gave up her brother, such a handsome young man with a bright future, and chose a wretched, old man who stinks. She might really be sick.
"Old Mrs. Wang said that she saw it with all her heart when the grain was distributed yesterday. I didn't believe it at first, but she made it sound so convincing that I couldn't help but believe it."
"Yes, I saw it with all her heart. Xiangxiang was so happy to be her. Laizi's eyes sparkled when he looked at her. Maybe it was because Laizi's expression was too obvious, Xiangxiang glared at him embarrassedly. Later, I heard Laizi talking to someone in the haystack. He said that Xiangxiang was young and shy, and that he would go to the Lu family to propose marriage after the New Year. He also said that Dezi had already secretly called Xiangxiang "mother". I felt so upset when I heard it. Well, it wasn't just me who heard it. Several old women in the village heard it too."
"Wife Zhenping, you have always been on good terms with Xiangxiang's parents. Now you can't let them know, otherwise something bad might happen."
Shen Meng: "......."
You said it so well, but could you please control your lively expression? The sarcasm in your eyes is about to come out.
"Auntie, Xiangxiang and I were still together yesterday. Sister Lianhua, Xifeng, and we were all together. She was clearly making fun of Mingkai. Besides, she hates Laizi so much that she feels like vomiting when she sees him. She wasn't embarrassed to glare at him. It was clearly out of disgust. The distance between the two of them was at least several dozen meters, if not two miles. You could still see them flirting from such a long distance. I have to say that you have really good eyesight." At her
age, if her eyesight was 5.0, she would have to pretend to be dead and say she didn't believe Shen Meng even if she beat him to death.
Sure enough, after Shen Meng said this, everyone reacted. They knew Xiangxiang from yesterday. After distributing the food, she helped Shen Meng to coax Mingkai for a while, but she went back after a while. When did she flirt with Laizi?
"Auntie, you can talk nonsense, but you can't slander the reputation of female comrades. Director Guo, the director of women's affairs, is not a pushover. Xiangxiang is such a good girl, so many good young men are willing to break the door to marry her, but Laizi, that dog, wants to eat swan meat like a toad, bah."
"That's right. I told you that Xiangxiang isn't that kind of person. She just can't get married and she's still being supported by Uncle Guai and Juying. How could she be so stupid as to be nice to Laizi? What kind of family is Laizi's? It's a hell of a lot of people. Auntie, you can't talk nonsense!"
The first person who swore that Xiangxiang and Laizi were gossiping now turned pale. Zhenping's wife just said these few words, and the old ladies who had been chatting with her so enthusiastically just now actually left her and went back on their words. She couldn't help but feel angry.
"How can you say that? How did I say Xiangxiang? It was Laizi who said that herself. If nothing happened between the two of them, Ren Dezi would call her mother behind her back. Humph, I won't tell you anymore. Just look, this is probably true. Believe it or not, there's no need to argue with me here."
Shen Meng saw her walking away with her crutches, and after giving a few instructions to the other maids, she also hurried away carrying her basket and bucket. After returning home, she didn't have time to go into the living room to get soy milk or something. She put down the basket and bucket, gave Mingyang a few instructions, and hurried to Uncle Guai's house.
Huang Maochun stood at the door with his back bent and yelled at the courtyard. Lu Xingchang could
n't stop him. The child in his arms was so scared that he kept crying. "You are such a shameless thing. My cousin's family has such good conditions, but you refused to marry and went to find such a thing. Are you blind? You want to hang out in a bar and let people call you mom. Are you a scumbag? Why didn't I see that you are such a thing before? It's New Year's Day. It's really embarrassing. Why don't you just die? I'm ashamed for you. How could your Lu family have such a shameless thing..."
"Mao Chun, stop scolding, stop scolding, she is my sister after all, she can marry whoever she wants, her parents will take care of her, why are you making such a fuss here, come on, come back with me, go home!"
Huang Maochun shook off his grip with his elbow and said viciously: "Did I tell you that if your sister married my cousin's family, we would have 200 yuan, 200, enough for our family of three to eat for a long time, why are you so stupid, if I am not related to her, I would want to marry her, such a good thing, can be left to her Lu Xiangxiang."
Lu Xingchang paused, looking at Huang Maochun in disbelief.
