He Yiran learned and applied what she had just learned, and repeated what Meng Anyao had just said to her as her own.
I originally thought that this would gain the admiration of my friends, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, Hu Fei and Sun Tianwei immediately showed distressed expressions on their faces.
"Why don't we just forget it? We were the ones who started the fight in the first place, so getting beaten up isn't a big deal."
"Jiang Xiachu is very fierce now, so we should not overestimate our own abilities."
Deng Qimei and Yang Yun had become a little intimidated since they were dealt a heavy blow by Jiang Xiachu last time, so they quickly nodded in agreement when they heard this.
"Yeah, even if all of us join together, we can't beat Jiang Xiachu."
"Why don't we just pretend nothing happened and go back to our own homes."
He Yiran was almost angry to death. How could she not know that her friends were such cowards?
She slapped them in annoyance and used her trump card.
"It was Sister An Yao who asked us to take revenge on Jiang Xiachu. None of you were willing to do this."
"Could it be that you want to go against Sister An Yao?"
Everyone knows that Meng Anyao's family is powerful and influential, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke.
As soon as they heard her name, several people immediately became obedient and said that they would definitely follow He Yiran's arrangements.
Several people divided themselves into groups and pretended to be chatting. They spread the news in the alley that Jiang Xiachu had disfigured her and insisted on signing up for the art troupe.
Upon hearing the news, Old Lady Wang, Mrs. Zhang and others immediately rolled their eyes.
"Jiang Xiachu is so ugly, and has such a deep scar on her face. She can scare several children to tears when they see her in the middle of the night. I don't know where she got the nerve to sign up for an art troupe!"
"The judges are not blind. If Jiang Xiachu can be selected, then sows can climb trees."
Not only did they gossip about others behind their backs, they even started making bets.
Everyone bet that Jiang Xiachu had no chance at all and it was impossible for him to join the art troupe.
It happened that Aunt Liu from the neighboring house was drying corn outside. When she heard so many people saying bad things about Jiang Xiachu, she instantly became unhappy.
"You always gossip behind people's backs. Be careful that your tongue gets rotten one day."
"I really don't know where you get the nerve to scold Jiang Xiachu. Xiachu can dance no matter how bad she is. Unlike your eldest grandson from the Wang family, he will be a fat pig no matter how hard he tries!"
Upon hearing that her precious grandson was actually being scolded, Old Lady Wang was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She put her hands on her hips and started cursing at Aunt Liu.
The sounds of cursing and talking back filled the entire alley.
It was a chaotic scene, it was so lively.
After Fang Yingqiu washed and hung the clothes at home, she was about to go out to buy some things. After taking a few steps, she heard a noise outside.
Originally, she was too lazy to get involved in all this mess, but she seemed to have heard Jiang Xiachu's name vaguely.
"With such a disfigured face, how could the art troupe still accept him?"
"Yeah, and you've never practiced before, so why do you have to find something to do? I think you might as well go work and earn money with this time!"
"I heard that he is still not filial and wants to sever ties with his own mother."
"The marriage has been called off. I don't know if anyone would want me after my face is ruined. If I weren't worried about this, why would I still want to apply for the art troupe?"
"What are you talking about? How can you say something about a little girl so harshly?"
"Isn't this what other people said? What does it have to do with us?"
Fang Yingqiu frowned, and immediately walked forward, stopping beside a neighbor with whom she had a good relationship, and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why do I hear you talking about Xia Chu?"
What disfigurement? Art troupe.
Isn’t this Jiang Xiachu?
The aunt had a good impression of Jiang Xiachu and was a little skeptical about the gossip she heard.
But she still explained everything to Fang Yingqiu one by one.
"Today, when Yiran and her friends were playing in the alley, they told others that Xia Chu wanted to apply for the art troupe. The people from the Li and Liu families made a bet and threatened them. What did they say?"
The aunt thought as she spoke, and after a moment she said, "Oh!" "Yes, that's right. If Xia Chu can pass the exam, even sows can climb trees."
Fang Yingqiu: “…”
God damn, what are you talking about?
It was all that brat He Yiran's fault. She took all the good things and now she is coming back to bite Xia Chu.
This little ungrateful bastard.
It was the first time she had seen a girl with such a black heart.
Fang Yingqiu's anger surged to her head. She was usually gentle and didn't like to lose her temper, but she glared at the people around her and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
"A little girl can make them gossip like this. Do you have nothing to do? Have you picked all the beans at home? Pah, I wonder if you guys will be sour on your tongue during the New Year!"
Fang Yingqiu suddenly lost her temper, which was unusual for her, and scared the people around her who were happily eating melon seeds.
"Oh my god, I was so scared! You're still protecting her. We're not kidding. I saw her face and the scar. Is it scary to be in the art troupe?"
"That's right, I can't even tell the truth. If you can, sew a zipper around my mouth."
Some of the aunts who were on Jiang Xiachu's side couldn't stand it any longer. "It's hard enough for a little girl to have her face disfigured. You're still nagging me. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"
"I think that girl is pretty good, and her figure is so beautiful!"
“…”
Aunt Du was originally packing things in the house when she suddenly heard a noise outside and frowned.
Without saying a word, she picked up the spatula at home and walked out, pointing directly at the aunt who was leading the group and spoke the most unpleasantly, and angrily scolded: "What are you talking about here? Did the little girl offend you!?"
Aunt Du had a loud voice and immediately frightened people.
She is well-known for being protective of her children.
Thinking back to when her son Da Zhuang was bullied, she picked up a weapon and rushed to the bully's house, cursing the bully's ancestors to every generation, leaving the bully so bad that he couldn't raise his head for several days.
She is very nice when she is in a good mood, but if you really make her angry, she can do anything.
And never lost.
Aunt Du glared at the people around her and raised the spatula with a threatening look on her face.
Those aunts retreated immediately.
Aunt Du snorted coldly, walked up to Fang Yingqiu, glared at the group of people in front of her and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Xu Guifang nodded heavily and said, "These people are all black-hearted. They just want to deliberately influence the little girl and don't want her to do well in the exam. It's obvious that they can't stand seeing others do well!"
"Yes, I think Xia Chu is a good girl. If they want to break up, isn't it because her family has broken her heart? Otherwise, who would be willing to leave their own mother?"
"I feel sorry for that girl when I see her. She has been neglected by her parents since she was little. She is so thin that she cannot be any thinner. She is so pitiful, and yet they are gossiping about her behind her back."
