Chapter 231: Rumors of Shen Tang's Restlessness
He Xu accepted the rest of the matter, and Hong Xiu's family of three were arranged to live in a house near the police station. A group of soldiers who had once been friends with Dai Sheng pooled some money for the three of them.
Chen Tang took some time to go and see it. Although the house is not big, with only one living room and one bedroom, both Dai Yun and Dai Yao are very happy and have made many friends. It is much better than the previous environment.
The weather suddenly turned cold.
A frost hit early in the morning, and all the vegetables planted by He Zhi died. He hugged Chen Tang and cried, and planned to bury the vegetables, so he used a small shovel to dig a hole and bury the rotten grass.
Everyone in the staff quarters was sitting around the kang knitting sweaters. Someone mentioned that several teachers from the city had been demoted, and several teachers had been transferred to the junior high school of their school. Now the school is full of teachers, and there is a high probability that they will not recruit teachers next year.
Chen Tang cracked melon seeds while listening to them gossiping about which woman was having an affair with which man, and about the Tu family next door. Wen Li hadn't come out for several days. When everyone talked about Deputy Captain Tu's physique, they all smiled meaningfully.
"Chen Tang, I heard from Zhang Xiaocao that Wen Li screamed very loudly, did you hear it?"
Wenli screamed so loudly that no one else heard it. The reason why everyone in the family compound knew about it was because it was heard by Aunt Zhang from the yard next door to Wenli.
The person who asked the question was an aunt who was not very familiar with Shen Tang. Before she could say anything, her aunt glared at her and said, "My niece goes to bed early, so how can she hear those dirty things?"
"Tsk, Zhou Ling, your niece is already married, what's the big deal about it? Besides, the Tu family could do such a thing, why don't they let people talk about it?"
As the aunt was talking, the topic changed: "But coming back to the point, Zhang Xiaocao could hear it, do you think the sister-in-law who lives in their house could hear it? I heard that the girl is still a virgin, and those two didn't try to avoid it."
Another aunt continued, "In the past, Deputy Commander Tu never brought anyone to the family compound. He must have been too stifling. One time I saw Wen Li's arm was all bruised. If Zhang Xiaocao hadn't said that Deputy Commander Tu didn't beat anyone, I would have thought that Deputy Commander Tu really did beat someone."
"No matter how much you hold it back, you won't be so stifled. And you're bringing your sister-in-law with you. You don't feel embarrassed at all."
"I don't know whether they find it embarrassing or not, but my son won't marry someone with a bad family tradition."
"Tsk, your son is already married for the second time. How could Wen Yu, who is educated and has a job, be interested in your son? I heard that many people in the military region are interested in Wen Yu. Only Wen Li can choose. Wen Yu has agreed to see a date, but she still refuses."
"Isn't there a social gathering tomorrow? Wen Yu will definitely attend. Chen Tang, has your director agreed?"
Chen Tang nodded: "I agree."
It was no secret that Wen Yu was going to attend the social gathering. She even went to the city to buy new clothes today. Director Liang also agreed with her going.
Director Liang originally wanted to introduce her to his nephew, but the last time she introduced Ying Wan to Deputy Battalion Commander Fu was still a shadow, and Wen Yu also said that she didn't want to marry into the city, so there was no news on the matter.
Chen Tang sat for a while and then left. After she and her aunt left, someone started talking behind her back, "I heard that Deputy Head Tu bought meals for Deputy Head He every day while he was away."
"That's right, she must have seduced Deputy Captain Tu."
"She looks like a vixen, so I know she's not a quiet person."
Several aunts were cursing. Chen Tang was pretty, and usually when she went to the city, people would scramble to give her a seat.
Not to mention that after He Xu went on a mission, Deputy Captain Tu from next door blocked her several times and kept stuffing lunch boxes into her hands.
The wall of their yard is high, which is obviously intended to protect against the neighbors. How can one not think too much?
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Chen Tang went back and picked up the scarf he had left beside him.
Everyone quickly shut up and busied themselves knitting sweaters.
Chen Tang curled his lips lightly: "Everyone, I really didn't seduce anyone. Our He Xu is so handsome, and I am so beautiful. Although there are many bees and butterflies who want to seduce me, I am a decent person. I don't like anyone who is not as handsome as He Xu."
"Especially those who are ugly, marry wives with distorted values, and fantasize about beautiful women behind their idiot husbands every day. I despise them even more!"
The faces of the aunts who spoke at the beginning turned red and blue, and they felt like they were holding back some anger in their chests and couldn't let it out.
Chen Tang didn't care about them, he just took his things and left.
She actually didn't like sitting and chatting with these aunts who gossiped behind her back, but her aunt was there, so she just stopped by to ask her how to knit a sweater.
As she left, a few gossiping women coughed and cursed under their breath.
Someone couldn't stand it and rolled his eyes: "Okay, you don't know Chen Tang yet, but I've heard that she has a good family background and is a neighbor of Deputy Captain He. They grew up together. Deputy Captain He is so handsome and he gave her gifts every day to win her over. Do you think she likes your man who has nothing but three legs?"
"If you ask me, it's probably that Deputy Captain Tu has feelings for Shen Tang. He rushed to give Shen Tang something. I've seen Shen Tang refuse several times."
Last time Chen Tang agreed to sing at the invitation of the head of the art troupe, the song stirred the hearts of countless people. These men were not satisfied with their wives, so they compared them with others, causing those women to resent Chen Tang for spreading rumors behind his back.
But Chen Tang is not someone who can be easily provoked. If anyone dares to look at her in the face, she can make the other person shut up when she opens her mouth.
If Chen Tang had been weak, she would have been killed by rumors spread by those who were jealous of her beauty.
“What if Chen Tang is attracted by Deputy Captain Tu’s ability?”
"Tsk, then Deputy Captain He is not very capable? The bruises on Wen Li's body are scary to look at. It's no use being strong if you don't feel comfortable."
Once this was said, most people agreed.
It's useless if you don't feel comfortable in that aspect. Seeing that Wen Li couldn't get out of bed for several days, it is obvious that Deputy Captain Tu is not a very caring person.
There are also people whose husbands are not very good and they envy Wenli, thinking that it is better to have had something.
After Chen Tang learned how to knit a sweater, he took the needle and thread back home.
It was already noon, and she planned to go to the cafeteria to buy some braised fish to eat, but she unexpectedly met Tu Qiangzi again on the way.
What bad luck.
Chen Tang didn't plan to pay attention to anyone.
Tu Qiangzi didn't show any emotion, and stopped her with a smile: "Comrade Shen, are you going to get some food?"
Chen Tang was also speechless about the outrageous behavior of Deputy Head Tu next door. She liked the food cooked by Aunt Zhang, who put just the right amount of oil. She would occasionally go to the cafeteria to buy some meat to satisfy her cravings. It was not like she was in financial difficulty, so why did she need help from her neighbor?
Deputy Captain Tu was really shameless. She had refused him several times but it was no use. She even suspected that this man was deliberately taking revenge on them and trying to ruin her reputation.
"Deputy Captain Tu, what does it have to do with you whether I buy vegetables or not?"
Shen Tang walked around the people and left.
Tu Qiangzi followed without any hesitation.
When others looked at him strangely, he just said calmly that he still had some vegetables to buy.
