"Sorry, I'm overthinking it." Hu Qiufang felt embarrassed. Originally, these were just gossips that everyone talked about in private, and now that she asked about it, she didn't know if Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife would be angry.
"Is that what everyone in the family compound says about me? This matter is all Lu Fengqi's fault, and he didn't even explain it to the people outside. He has ruined my reputation. Others must think that I married Lu Fengqi with my child." Liu Shuning knew what others said about her without even thinking about it. The old ladies in this family compound were no different from the village intelligence team in later generations.
"Haha, you just got married and you came back with a child. Everyone is thinking the wrong thing. Are you angry?"
Hu Qiufang laughed dryly twice. She was the one who asked this question today. She didn't know if Captain Lu's wife would be angry.
"I'm not angry. It's better for you to ask me in person than to nag me in private."
Liu Shuning actually doesn’t care much about what others say about her. No one talks behind others’ backs, and no one doesn’t talk behind others’ backs. As long as she doesn’t hear it, she will pretend not to know.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you clarify this when I return. You are still a new bride, and your reputation cannot be ruined by everyone."
Although Hu Qiufang likes to gossip, she also looks down on some people who like to talk nonsense.
Liu Shuning smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Sister Qiufang. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to explain this to everyone so that the misunderstanding won't get any deeper."
Hu Qiufang patted her hands and said, "It's not a big deal. We're all from the same family compound. It's only natural. I'll tell those people when I get back."

When Lu Fengli came to see Liu Shuning in the evening, she quickly told him what she had heard today.
"Lu Feng, have you heard the rumors in the family compound? Why don't you explain to everyone that Ruibao is not my child? Everyone thinks I am a illegitimate child."
Liu Shuning was actually a little uncomfortable. She was inexplicably called a married woman. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Are these people blind? How could a young girl like her become a mother?
"I didn't hear anyone else say that? I'll go find Auntie Yang later and ask her to help clarify it."
Lu Feng was busy with training today and didn't go back to the family compound. His comrades were all grown men and didn't like gossiping, so he really didn't know that someone would spread gossip about his wife.
"Hmph, anyway, hurry up and help me clarify. You agreed to bring Ruibao back then." Liu Shuning pinched Lu Fengbi's arm hard. It was all his fault. He caused others to talk about him.
"Ouch, it hurts, be gentle, wife." Seeing that his wife was really angry, Lu Fengxie tried to comfort her. "Wife, I know I was wrong. If you pinch me a few more times, I will not cry out in pain."
"Hmph, I'll remember this grudge for now. Is the kitchen in the new house ready? I want to buy some vegetables and cook over there."
"I didn't come over to see it today. Why don't we go over to see it after dinner?"
"OK."
After dinner, Lu Feng carried Ruibao and Liu Shuning to their new home.
The new home is at the innermost part of the family compound, and to get to the new home, one has to pass through the newly built family building.
It is now dinner time and the downstairs of the family building is full of people.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, have you eaten yet?"
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, are you taking your wife out for a walk?"
