Chapter 405: Slander - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

"Hmm, what a nice smell!" Jin Jianhua suddenly smelled this fragrance when he was helping Zhang Mengyun with her fever in front of the stove.

Although he had already eaten meat at noon, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the meat again.

"Where does that meaty smell come from?"

When Lin Qing came back, Zhang Mengyun saw the previous scene at the door and of course guessed something.

After hearing what Jin Jianhua said, he was a little dissatisfied, "It's just a small amount of meat, is it that serious? And you still have the nerve to show off."

"..." Jin Jianhua was speechless. It was just a small amount of meat, and it was not easy to get it in the city!

Besides, when she was in the countryside, Zhang Mengyun herself probably had hardly eaten meat, so how could she have the nerve to laugh at others?

"Do you know which family is cooking the meat?"

Zhang Mengyun answered the question irrelevantly, "Brother Jianhua, don't be fooled by that vixen. She is just a scumbag. How could a good engineer be seduced by her?

A sickly girl who can't even have a child must have used all her tricks to seduce someone."

Jin Jianhua's eyes flickered, "Yunyun, what are you talking about...?"

"Of course it's that vixen Lin Qing!" Zhang Mengyun said in disgust, "She is just a seductive vixen. She took advantage of the fact that the engineer is so talkative and shamelessly took advantage of her parents. She is also a sickly woman and may not even be able to have children. Marrying her is really a disaster for you."

"How do you know so much?" Jin Jianhua remembered that they had just moved in and were not very familiar with the people in this yard!

"That's what Comrade Wang who lives next door said! Comrade Wang also said that the vixen likes to seduce other gay men when her man is not around!" Zhang Mengyun said maliciously.

In fact, these words were all made up by Zhang Mengyun himself. Wang Qiaomei didn't dare to make up rumors without reason. She only said that Lin Qing was pretty and many people were kind to her.

However, these words were automatically translated in Zhang Mengyun's mind into, Lin Qing took advantage of her outstanding looks to do a lot of shameful things, and 'quite a lot of people were kind to her' became 'quite a lot of men were nice to her'.

Anyway, Zhang Mengyun wanted to discredit Lin Qing in front of Jin Jianhua. She sensed the crisis when she saw Lin Qing's appearance, and they would all work in the same office in the future, so she was determined to nip this crisis in the bud.

Jin Jianhua looked at Zhang Mengyun and knew she was not credible after listening to her words. He had known Wang Qiaomei longer and knew her better. He knew that Wang Qiaomei would never tarnish Lin Qing's reputation so bluntly. After all, if the news got out, he might be held accountable.

As for why he knew it was a smear campaign, it was mainly because Lin Qing did not look like the kind of person Zhang Mengyun described him to be.

Moreover, how could someone as selfish as Wang Qiaomei put herself in danger?

Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that Zhang Mengyun was jealous and talking nonsense.

However, even if he knew, he couldn't refute it, but he couldn't tell anyone about it. "I know, but, Yunyun, we are new here, so we can't offend anyone for the time being. Let's just talk about this in private, don't tell anyone."

Zhang Mengyun felt guilty for a moment after hearing what he said. She did want to publicize it before, but only she knew whether what she said was true or not. What if she was really found out...

Although Zhang Mengyun felt guilty, she still insisted, "Humph! I will keep a close eye on her. If she does anything wrong, she won't be able to say that I wronged her..."

Jin Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhang Mengyun would go out and say something nonsense. Although he didn't know what level of engineer Lin Qing's husband was, ordinary people would not dare to offend such high-level talents in the factory.

…

Lin Qing was concentrating on making dinner and had no idea that someone was slandering her like this.

"Nannan, when will your son-in-law come back?" Mother Lin smelled the aroma of meat filling the room and suddenly thought of her son-in-law who had left home.

"It will take at least half a month, as he has to travel to several places!" Lin Qing remembered the several big cities that Cen Xi mentioned, and estimated that it would take a lot of time on the road.

"He said he would bring us some local specialties when the time comes!" Lin Qing said with a smile.

"Really? It's enough to bring some for you. Why would you bring some for us old couple?" Lin's mother said with a smile on her face.

"Oh! He just wants to honor you!" Lin Qing didn't like what his mother said.

"Okay, okay! But did he remember to bring a copy for his parents-in-law?" Mother Lin thought that Cen Xi was thinking about them, but he couldn't forget his parents-in-law!

"Remember, remember, I told him to buy double the items if possible, one for you and dad, and one for mom and dad."

"Okay!" Lin's mother was quite satisfied with their approach. "That's how it should be. Even if the in-laws are not here, you can't just think about us old couple and forget about them. Do you understand?"

"Yeah. I know." Lin Qing would certainly not forget that Cen Xi treated her parents as his own children, so she would naturally think about her parents-in-law in everything.

…

It’s no wonder that Cen Xi remembered Lin Qing’s words very well.

"Engineer Cen, do you want to go out for a walk too?" Xiao Yifan asked.

They just arrived in Guangzhou today and need to rest for a while before going to help at the machinery factory here tomorrow.

They are also worried about the journey as they have to catch the train as soon as they finish their work here, so many people want to take advantage of the free time they have just arrived to go out for a walk and buy some local specialties.

Cen Xi thought about the specialty product and didn't refuse, so he followed him out.

A group of people went out wearing long sleeves, which was their thinnest clothing. Who knew it was almost November here and still so hot? They were sweating not long after they went out.

"It's too hot today!" Many people pulled the hems of their clothes, trying to let in some air.

Cen Xi was also feeling extremely hot, but he did not move like them.

Xiao Yifan approached Cen Xi and said, "Engineer Cen, do you think these people are looking at us like fools?"

Cen Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Isn't this normal? People are so hot in short-sleeved shirts, but we are wearing long sleeves and long pants and are so tightly wrapped. In their eyes, we are sick!"

Xiao Yifan: “…”

"Let's go! Let's go to the department store and see if we can buy two short-sleeved shirts to last us." The weather was really too hot. Cen Xi felt that he would get heatstroke if he stayed here like this for a few days.

Xiao Yifan was a little envious, "Engineer Cen! You need cloth coupons to buy clothes!" He didn't have any cloth coupons at all, as his wife had already taken them away.

Cen Xi had no choice. What he said was indeed the truth. However, "Maybe there will be some people who don't want tickets!"

Xiao Yifan smacked his lips and said, "That will probably cost a lot." He was a little reluctant...
