Chapter 45: Noise
Within two days, Yuan Lingling heard people outside talking about the past events.
The first person to tell her was Aunt Yang next door.
Since Ma Lili came back, Aunt Yang rarely goes out and stays at home with Ma Lili every day.
Whether Ma Lili and Xie Guangan had a relationship or Ma Lili was kidnapped, it was not a glorious thing, so Aunt Yang could not go out and let others laugh at her.
But staying at home every day is not a good idea. After she said this, she couldn't help but go out again.
"How is Lily? Is she okay?" Yuan Lingling asked politely and made a cup of brown sugar water for Aunt Yang.
Aunt Yang had long been accustomed to her enthusiasm, and would bring her any delicious food she made. When she heard about Ma Lili, she sighed, "What else can I do? She sighs all day long. I think she doesn't want to go to school anymore. Your uncle and I are still considering whether to just marry her off."
"Get married and stop studying?" Yuan Lingling was shocked, but she quickly realized that most people these days don't pay much attention to education, but she didn't expect that they would pay so little attention to it.
Seeing her so surprised, Aunt Yang was still a little puzzled, "Is... is there something wrong? She probably doesn't have the heart to study now. Although there are not many people studying here, there are still people who go to the same school as her. If such a reputation spreads out, how can she still have the face to do it?"
That was true, but Yuan Lingling really couldn't understand why someone would give up her future for some so-called reputation. Moreover, would her reputation improve if she gave up her studies?
If she gets married with such a reputation, won't the man dislike her if she gets married at this time?
"Aunt wants her to marry far away. Is she trying to hide what happened recently?"
Yang Ying's eyes flickered and she lowered her head. "What if I don't hide it? If I don't hide it, will any decent family want to marry her?"
"But auntie, have you ever thought about this? If the things you have hidden are known to others one day, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world."
Hearing this, Yang Ying lowered his head even more. "Oh, forget it. Let's not talk about this. It's really too bad. I came here today to tell you something else."
Seeing that she avoided the topic, Yuan Lingling didn't know what to say. After all, it was someone else's business. She was already talking too much by saying just that. She thought Aunt Yang could think it through clearly.
"What's the matter?" she continued.
"You don't know it yet, you are so careless. People talk about you every day, but you don't know anything. If the dead girl in my family could be like you, I wouldn't have to worry so much." After saying that, she waved her hands.
"No, no, look at what I'm saying. Didn't many people say that your mother died because she was ill after giving birth to you? We all know what happened. How can we blame the child for such a thing? Everyone dislikes Old Lady Yuan, but do you know who spread this story?"
"Who is it?" Yuan Lingling pretended not to know.
"It's Jiang Liping. Really, I didn't expect her to be so excessive. Feng Ling has been dead for so many years, but she is still brooding over it and even didn't let a child like you go. Bah, she is really not a good person!"
Even someone of her age knows that Yuan Lingling was bullied at school. You can imagine how much this child has suffered since childhood.
"No wonder Yuan Qiang doesn't like her. Even Xie Bin is messing around outside."
Yuan Lingling frowned. A woman should not be judged like this, but since Yang Ying was speaking for herself, she did not say much.
"I didn't expect her to be so extreme. I don't know what stimulated her at the time. But she and Xie Bin have given birth to so many children. Why can't she let it go?"
"I heard that Xie Guangan was not her and Xie Bin's son. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I knew she was not a good person."
"It's not her and Xie Bin's child?" Yuan Lingling was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. "If it's not her and Xie Bin's child, then who did she have the child with?" @无限好文，尽在
Speaking of this, Yang Ying finally smiled, "Who knows? Xie Bin is also making trouble now."
At this moment, the Xie family was indeed in chaos. Xie Bin seemed to be casual and didn't care about anything, and he always smiled when he met people, but in fact, people like him were the most chauvinistic and face-conscious.
In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with sleeping with a woman outside. He is just being romantic and amorous. At most, others will tease him a few times. Which man doesn't have this kind of thoughts?
But he couldn't stand it when that woman became his wife.
How could he let it go after Jiang Liping cheated on him so badly? He was too embarrassed to see anyone now.
"Tell me, who is the adulterer?" Xie Bin sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at the woman in front of him with a sullen face.
At that time, Jiang Liping was a man that many young men in the area admired, and everyone said that Xie Bin was lucky to marry such a wife.
But after marrying her, he found that this woman was just so-so. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will lose its meaning after being kept at home for a long time.
He originally thought that she could still help him hold up the scene outside, but later on, every time she wanted to go against Feng Ling, he felt strange. Every time he asked about it, she would be the first to attack and say that he had a crush on Feng Ling and that she was angry with him. It turned out that it was all because of this.
Others don't think too much about it, but as someone who always hangs out with women, how could he not know how this matter would develop?
Women are ruthless but also affectionate. The person they can never forget is their first man. So why would Jiang Liping go against Feng Ling? It’s because Xie Bin is her first man.
"I'm asking you a question, are you afraid to answer?" Xie Bin put the teacup on the table, with a hint of anger on his face.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Liping certainly couldn't admit it. She slammed the table and said, "Xie Bin, what do you mean? Did you listen to outsiders and come to doubt me? Who gave you the face?"
Suddenly, she looked enlightened and said, "I say, were you the one who spread those rumors? Just because I caught you messing around outside, you pushed the trouble onto me to prevent others from saying anything about you. Xie Bin is really something!"
"Stop talking nonsense here. Even if I slept with another woman, at least I didn't give birth to a son. But you, on the other hand, not only did you give birth to a son with someone else, but you also asked me to help you raise your son. Do you really think I have no temper?"
No one had ever seen him so angry before.
Xie Bin was really furious this time. He had always felt that his eldest son was not close to him or like him. What kind of son would give his father the cold shoulder every day?
Now when he thinks about how he helped another man raise his son for so long, he almost gets furious.
"Don't you know that hospitals now have paternity tests?"
"What paternity test? Stop trying to scare me!" Jiang Liping's eyes flickered. How could Xie Bin not see it after being with her for decades?
What paternity test? He just heard nonsense from others. But with this lie, Jiang Liping was completely exposed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Anyway, I have already written to ask them to come back. Then I will ask all three of them to check. I want to see if there is any of my children!"
"You!" Jiang Liping was furious, but she wanted to make trouble with Xie Bin but she felt guilty, so she had to hold her forehead and pretend to be sick, "Ouch..."
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xie Aihe was originally hiding aside and trying her best to reduce her presence. In her opinion, her mother was the one in charge of the family and had the final say on everything. It was also the first time she saw her father dare to speak to her mother like that. She could only stay away for fear of being implicated.
Now she had to stand up, "Dad, how can you say that to Mom? Haven't our family been doing well all these years?"
If her father hadn't been fooling around outside, how could these things have happened today?
In her opinion, it was because her father's affairs were exposed that those people started digging around and dug up those old things.
In short, it's all her father's fault. Her father forgot but she didn't. He used to love his eldest son the most.
"You are helping your mother too?" Xie Bin sneered, "It seems that you are not my Xie Bin's child either."
“Dad, you…”
Xie Aihe watched Xie Bin leave helplessly. Her father had never been close to her, and she couldn't stand on her father's side at this time.
"Mom, are you okay? I'll help you go back to your room and lie down."
"No need to help me." Jiang Liping was just pretending. No one needed her help. She was so angry, but she couldn't understand how things had come to this point.
"Aihe, can you go out and ask for me where those rumors came from?"
Not many people knew about those things back then. How come they haven't been spread out for so long but are now becoming a hot topic? This is really strange.
"I... who can I ask?" Xie Aihe was very unhappy. Her mother was too embarrassed to go out, so how could she have the face to go out? And she was asked to ask these things. How could she ask them? She didn't even want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Seeing Jiang Liping's disapproving look, Xie Aihe said awkwardly, "Everyone knows that I'm your daughter. Would they tell me such an embarrassing thing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a slapping sound, and Xie Aihe felt a buzzing in her ears. Her mother actually hit her and even hit her in the face. "Why did you hit me?"
"I'm your mother. Do I have to choose a day to hit you if I want to?" She was stunned when she said this. God knows how much of a shadow these words of Yuan Lingling had cast on her, making her rehearse the scene of returning the words in her mind from time to time. However, what she didn't expect was that the words were not returned to her, but given to her own daughter.
"Go ask Old Lady Yuan. She must know about this. Tell her. If she doesn't tell me, I will reveal everything that happened back then. No one will have an easy life."
"What happened back then? What happened back then?" Xie Aihe no longer cared about being sad. She had never thought that it was her mother who had treated Yuan Lingling so badly. Now she saw that there was something else behind it. She loved watching the excitement about Yuan Lingling the most.
In fact, didn't she know at the beginning that those things about Yuan Lingling were just nonsense? She knew it very well, but she was very happy as long as she could see Yuan Lingling in trouble. After all, why didn't she talk about others but only her?
Now that she knew the person who said these things behind her back was her mother, Xie Aihe felt somewhat complicated.
"Is this what you should be asking? You went when I told you to go, but you still want to be beaten, right?"
In fact, Jiang Liping has never been gentle to Xie Aihe. Only Xie Guanglian, who is the least valued, thinks that Jiang Liping is good to Xie Aihe. In fact, Jiang Liping dislikes her child with Xie Bin equally.
Xie Guanglian couldn't see it, but Xie Aihe could see it clearly.
"knew."
After she agreed, she went out directly. She did not go to Yuan's house, but took a detour to the supply and marketing cooperative.
