"Comrade, as I just said, I don't know you and I don't want to know you. I am a soldier, so please be careful with your words and actions, or you may cause trouble with your words."
Simple then pulled out from behind, tugging at Cheng Chao's sleeve.
"Also, ladies, don't overthink things. Who says that men and women can only have this kind of relationship?"
Is that the only way you can think of it? Can't he have family and friends?
Also, when you go back, please don't cry and complain that he bullied you. This is a big market day, and so many villagers are watching. We didn't lay a finger on you, did we, old man?"
The stall owner watching the commotion behind him nodded; he had genuinely thought the man had done something immoral.
"Yes, yes, they didn't move. You were the one who stopped them first."
"That's right, she can't get married, so why is she still chasing after people and talking nonsense?"
Yu Hongyan's chest heaved with anger as she pointed at the person who had spoken.
"What do you know? You just keep spouting nonsense!"
"They already say they don't know him, what are you still saying?"
"Exactly, exactly. I wonder whose daughter this is. She's shameless, coming out to find a man on her own..."
"Isn't that a one-sided effort? They've already said they don't know her..."
Even the simple ones are now being outlined.
"Hey, my brother is such a handsome man, no wonder people have their eyes on him. He's not blind."
Even if you're in a free-love relationship, you can't say things like that. The villagers here today all witnessed it with their own eyes and know that my brother is innocent. If this gets out, people will start making wild guesses and think it's my brother's fault.
Fellow villagers, if anyone comes to investigate, please testify for my brother. He only said two sentences, and he's been wronged terribly.
He is a hero who has made meritorious contributions, and he is clear about everything he does, standing tall and upright.
They are loyal to the country, love the military, and are extremely cautious about their families. None of my family members have ever interfered with their lives.
Yes, he was of marriageable age, but he was preoccupied with building the country and put his own marriage on hold.
Such a person cannot be allowed to be insulted, smeared, and schemed against.
"Comrade Yu, you've been staying at your sister's house for so long, guarding this family compound. You don't even know that insulting soldiers is a crime, do you?"
Yu Hongyan paused, and then heard a key word.
"Your brother? I...you..."
She staggered a couple of times, but finally regained some of her composure. Looking at the crowd surrounding her, her face turned bright red, her lips twitched, and she seemed to want to both cry and laugh. She glanced at Jian Dan, then at her surroundings, but didn't dare look Cheng Chao in the eye. She hesitated for a moment.
The others were waiting for her to say something, but Cheng Rui had already rolled up his sleeves with a serious expression, and everyone around him was staring at him, waiting to see what else she had to say.
result,
She covered her face, turned around, and ran away.
The onlookers were stunned. Cheng Rui had already assumed an attacking stance, and this almost caused him to trip over his own feet.
Cheng An stood guard over his brother, but a cold glint flashed across his face. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides as he stared at Yu Hongyan's retreating figure, lost in thought.
On the contrary, Cheng Chao, the person in question, merely frowned, seemingly relieved, and gently nodded his thanks to the people around him before calling his younger siblings to go home.
Cheng Rui was furious, but seeing Cheng Chao's expression, he didn't dare say anything and muttered to himself.
"Bad woman, bad woman, how disgusting!"
In comparison, Cheng Chao and Jian Dan were not so angry.
After all, she was somewhat prepared, and she's not a child. In the end, the other person wasn't really that malicious; they were just blocking her way and talking. Maybe she simply wanted to show her face in front of Cheng Chao, or perhaps she wanted others to see her and then use public opinion to her advantage.
Cheng An was sullen.
"Brother, are you going to marry someone like this?"
Children don't understand social etiquette, but Xiaoshou's intuition is very sharp. He knew that if his older brother really went to be with that kind of woman, then his older brother would definitely drift further and further away from them in the future.
Just thinking about it makes him unhappy.
Before Cheng Chao could speak, Cheng Rui exploded.
"No, brother, she's a bad woman. You can't marry her. I don't want her to be my sister-in-law."
She bullies people, steals things, and even hits children. If you marry her, she'll definitely beat me when you're not home and steal all my good food.
"Brother, I'm your younger brother. You're not married, so I'm your closest relative. How can you bear to see me being bullied by her?"
Cheng Chao is funny.
"I won't marry her, tell me, why are you crying?"
They didn't see much of Yu Hongyan in front of them, just a few words. They learned more about her through the observations of Grandma Wang and Grandma Lin, and through the eyes of Cheng Rui and his group of children.
While adults may have their own likes and dislikes and unconsciously add their own emotional coloring to their evaluations, children have sharp eyes. They believe more in what they see with their own eyes, especially since many of their friends have personally experienced being bullied by her to varying degrees.
Cheng Rui and his brother really have a say in this matter.
Cheng Rui's eyes were already a little red, but Cheng Chao's words made him feel even more aggrieved, and tears streamed down his face.
Jian Dan had just slipped away to check on the living creatures he'd just taken into the base's space, and when he came back to his senses, he saw this scene and was immediately startled.
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Cheng An gave a helpless explanation.
"He didn't want his older brother to marry that person,"
His brother's crying made all his pent-up anger disappear. His older brother had already said he wouldn't marry her, so why was he still crying?
It's simple and speechless. Is this even worth crying over?
His eyes darted around, and he raised his voice.
"Xiao An, are you hot? I forgot, I just bought some popsicles, creamy ones, come find them quickly."
Cheng An stared blankly at Jian Dan, and the crying in front of him suddenly stopped. Then a little face with freckles turned around, Cheng Chao's face full of helplessness.
"Hurry up, give me the basket!"
Cheng An glanced back at his embarrassed brother and asked in a low voice,
"Sis, you really bought it? Or were you just trying to fool him?"
The items she bought were not the ones she had just purchased; the market shouldn't have them for sale, they were all her existing stock.
The child couldn't possibly investigate whether the product was actually being sold in the market. Cheng Chao, who was in the know, simply felt it was safe and might even help cover for them.
Actually, it could be considered a test.
Using the basket as cover, he crouched down and pulled out a rectangular box wrapped in a towel from under a pile of oil paper packages. When he stood up, the three people had already gathered around the basket.
Upon contact with the sweltering air, the towel exuded coolness from the inside out. Cheng Chao took it directly with his large hand and unwrapped the towel layer by layer, revealing its true nature.
