Sister Ma came up to An Hua and asked, "What did Niu Shuli want to talk to you about?"
An Hua: "He said a lot of unfounded things and looked like he was looking for trouble with me."
Sister Ma pulled a chair and sat in front of An Hua, whispering, "Is it because of Liu Meng? There was a little Yan in our department before. He was too close to Liu Meng, and was forced to stop doing anything... But this shouldn't be the case. You didn't even say a few words to Liu Meng!"
An Hua asked: "Sister, what's going on with the little Yan you mentioned?"
Sister Ma excitedly told An Hua some old gossip, "It happened half a year before you came. Xiao Yan was a technical secondary school student who had just come to our factory. Liu Meng was more involved with her at work, so the two of them became closer. Who knew that Niu Shuli misunderstood them, ran to our department, and without saying a word, slapped Xiao Yan twice in the face, saying that Xiao Yan seduced Liu Meng."
An Hua recalled Liu Meng's appearance. He was thin and had a big head. He looked like he had developmental problems. Who was so blind as to seduce him?
Sister Ma knew what An Hua was thinking from her expression and burst out laughing, "You're ridiculous, aren't you? We all thought so at the time. Xiao Yan is a technical secondary school student, and she's pretty and young. She can't find any good match? How could she seduce Liu Meng? Besides, Xiao Yan ignored Liu Meng except for her work. It was Liu Meng who always went to talk to her. Everyone in our department saw it..."
Sister Ma was thirsty from talking, so she went back to her seat and brought the enamel pot over. She then said, "But there is nothing we can do. Rumors kill people. Niu Shuli made such a fuss, and Xiao Yan was like jumping into the Yellow River. No matter how hard he tries, he can't wash himself clean."
An Hua asked: "Where is Liu Meng? Didn't he come out to explain?"
Sister Ma sneered, "What explanation! He's like a coward. When he keeps silent, others think he agrees. Although there is no evidence, Xiao Yan couldn't stand the rumors and left the food factory. But I heard that Xiao Yan married a good man and is living a good life now."
An Hua shuddered. Fortunately, Liu Meng disliked her. Otherwise, it would be so disgusting if Niu Shuli misunderstood her and Liu Meng.
Sister Ma comforted An Hua: "No matter why Niu Shuli picked a fight with you, don't be afraid of her. She just relies on her father who is the deputy factory director. It's nothing great. Your backing is stronger than hers!"
Others didn't know what position An Hua's husband held, they only knew that he was a senior cadre. Sister Ma was one of the few people in the factory who knew Xiao Zheng's background, and she also knew that Xiao Zheng was not as old as rumored.
Niu Shuli was just a minor incident, and of course it didn't affect An Hua's mood. When she got off work, Liu Meng looked at her secretly. An Hua looked back and asked, "Does Liu Meng have any problem with me? Why is he always staring at me?"
Everyone else looked at Liu Meng with strange eyes. In this special period, people who always focus on others will inevitably cause speculation. Are they trying to play a trick on others? If Liu Meng really wants to play a trick on people, then everyone should stay away from him!
Liu Meng didn't want to be isolated, so he quickly explained to everyone.
An Hua sneered and turned away.
At the factory gate, Geng Biao and Xiao Fangfang were waiting for An Hua.
An Hua was pleasantly surprised and held Xiao Fangfang's hand. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Why did you come to the factory today? Didn't you go to work?"
Geng Biao answered for her: "She is on leave today and did not go to work at the service center."
An Hua: "So you guys are waiting for me here, or?"
"Sister-in-law, we have come all the way here to wait for you. Fangfang and I want to go to your and brother's place. We have good news to announce." Geng Biao said as he glanced at Xiao Fangfang, who lowered her head shyly.
