The military has already praised this matter and it's even been reported in the newspapers. It's not something that shouldn't be mentioned.
But it seems these people don't read newspapers much. It's true, most of them come from rural areas, and the older ones haven't been to school at all. The younger ones probably stopped after elementary school and aren't used to reading newspapers; they just follow what everyone else says.
Just like the last time Hongyun happened, they heard about it from others when they went shopping.
They had also heard that Hongyun had donated 100,000 yuan to the military region and that the factory director had been praised, apparently by a young man, but they didn't know who that person was. Basically, everyone just followed the crowd, so of course, they didn't know about the newspaper's praise of Zhang Xingrong.
So Meng Yue'e was stunned, and everyone was stunned too.
It was the first time they saw Xiao Lu angry.
Aunt Liu was the elder after all, and the man was of high status, so she quickly came out to make things right: "Oh, it was a misunderstanding, it turns out Xiao Zhang is so capable. Xiao Meng, you are really something, they are young and the couple has a good relationship, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Meng Yue'e was so angry that her hair almost stood up, but she didn't know what to say!
Aunt Liu is such a jerk! She was the one who talked the most before, and she bullied Zhang Xingrong a lot. How dare she say that now? But what can she do? Aunt Liu's status means she can't say anything. Zhang Xingrong can't say anything either, because she has Lu Ran to protect her!
How come it's all her fault now?
Lu Ran glanced at everyone coldly and said, "From now on, please keep your mouths shut. If you can't help each other, then we'll be strangers!"
After saying that, he reached out and took Zhang Xingrong's hand and went home.
Meng Yue'e watched the man leave and burst out in anger: "How could he do this? I was speaking for him, why did he scold me! What's so good about Zhang Xingrong that he actually protected her like this!"
Aunt Dazhu passed by and couldn't help but interject: "Look at what you said. Xiao Zhang is Xiao Lu's wife. If he doesn't protect his wife, how can he protect you?"
After saying this, he left, leaving everyone in silence.
There is nothing wrong with what Aunt Dazhu said. As a couple, of course they should protect each other, but why can't their husbands protect themselves?
Of course, it’s not that they don’t protect them, but they don’t cover up for their shortcomings. For example, if something happens, their own men will say they are wrong.
This feeling was felt most deeply by Meng Yue'e. She had been wronged in the family compound, but her husband had always asked her to endure it, even asking her to apologize to everyone, to please everyone, and to integrate into the family compound's family community. So she really didn't understand, and at the same time, she was very jealous of Zhang Xingrong.
Why is this Xingrong so unique? Lu Ran actually protected her and even quarreled with them!
Meng Yue'e was puzzled, while Zhang Xingrong was surprised to see Lu Ran protecting her. Back in the old Lu family house, when Second Aunt criticized her, Lu Ran would also help her.
But she always felt that this time was different. She couldn't tell exactly what was different. Maybe it was because Lu Ran looked so proud when he mentioned her?
Or was it him getting angry at Meng Yue'e and protecting her?
She couldn't explain it, but she felt like a string in her heart was being gently plucked, and a light sound rang out.
Lu Ran felt her gaze and turned to look at her: "What are you looking at?"
"No." Zhang Xingrong shook her head.
When they got home, they were both tired. Because they were both tired, they couldn't bear to let the other be busy alone, so they cooked together.
