Romantic Rumors

When Ma Xiuzhi came out of the room, Wang Xiaomei and Huang Shumin had packed their clothes as instructed.

Ma Xiuzhi glanced at the clothes in Huang Shumin's hand, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Wang Xiaomei: "Find two sets of the boss's clothes and take them with him. Although Fan Zhiqing is now living in the hospital, he should also prepare some clothes to change into just in case."

"Doesn't Fan Zhiqing have his own clothes? I just saw his luggage in the room." Huang Shumin asked in confusion. Cloth coupons are hard to come by, and it is even more difficult for rural families to save enough cloth coupons to make a complete set of clothes, so everyone can count their clothes.

If two sets are given to Fan Yanxing, Liang Shuqiang will not have many clothes to wear.

"Fan Zhiqing is only staying at our house temporarily, how can we go through his luggage?" Ma Xiuzhi didn't finish her words, but the meaning was there. Huang Shumin was not stupid. After being reminded, she naturally realized the deep meaning.

First of all, it is polite not to touch other people's things casually.

Secondly, it is no secret in the village that Fan Yanxing is generous. Even though she had just married and lived here for a short time, she had heard a few words. If they touched his luggage at this time, if something was missing, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to explain it even if they had ten mouths.

In order to reduce trouble and maintain the relationship between the family and Fan Yanxing, it is better not to touch the luggage if possible!

"Mom is still thoughtful." Huang Shumin laughed awkwardly, feeling ashamed of her own stupidity.

Ma Xiuzhi didn't say anything. Time was running out, so she didn't have the time to say more. Seeing that Aunt Zhang hadn't come yet, she quickly told Wang Xiaomei to take a pen and paper to Liang Shuqiang to write a letter.

The only two people in the family who could read and write were Liang Shuqiang and Liang Qingqing. The others had not been educated and could only barely recognize a few words.

After Wang Xiaomei left, they didn't have time to rest. They hurried to the kitchen to cook some food that was easy to preserve.

When Fan Yanxing was suddenly mentioned, Huang Shumin also remembered the rumors in the village in the past two days. Her eyes first moved around in the boiling hot water in the pot, and then looked at Ma Xiuzhi who was sitting behind the stove. Her lips opened and closed again.

Ma Xiuzhi was already impatient. She glanced at Huang Shumin's hesitation to speak and frowned. She said in a light tone, "Just say whatever you want to say. Your hesitation will only make people anxious."

Hearing this, Huang Shumin's heart skipped a beat. She swallowed and quickly said, "I'm just worried about my younger sister."

"Didn't Aunt Zhang say they were all fine?" Ma Xiuzhi disagreed.

"But those people in the village are saying that my younger sister is shameless and has lost her face in order to climb up the social ladder. She actually took advantage of Fan Zhiqing's coma and kissed him in front of everyone, hoping to marry him. Mom, don't you think this is true?"

Huang Shumin almost blurted out these words, but she regretted it right after she finished speaking, because Ma Xiuzhi's face suddenly became very ugly. It was the first time she saw such a cold expression on her mother-in-law's face.

"Qingqing did it to save people! Others don't know, and don't you, as her sister-in-law, know?" She actually had the nerve to ask her if it was true!

Ma Xiuzhi's voice rose, and the muscles on her face were shaking with anger. She had not forgotten what Huang Shumin had done to Liang Qingqing before, so her words were a bit harsh at this time.

Huang Shumin just felt wronged. These words were not said by her. Why did her mother-in-law vent her anger on her? Besides, who knows if Liang Qingqing is saving people? How can you save people by talking to a man? Not to mention those gossipy women in the village, she has never seen one.

And who doesn't know Liang Qingqing's previous reputation? She stopped following Su Zhiqing during this period, and people thought she had changed her personality. Who would have thought that she just changed her target and was pretending!

The more Huang Shumin thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct. Her eyes turned red in an instant and her voice choked up: "I cursed back at that time, but those people didn't listen at all. They said I was making excuses."

After saying that, Huang Shumin grabbed the hem of her clothes and glanced at Ma Xiuzhi with some guilt. She did refute it back, but because she didn't know the truth of the matter and had the same doubts as them, she didn't refute it to the point, at least she didn't speak for Liang Qingqing.

"..."

Ma Xiuzhi's sight touched the tears in Huang Shumin's eyes, and she regained some of her rationality. She cursed in a bit, "These nagging people, they have nothing to do after eating every day, and they just know to talk about other people's affairs!"

After cursing, considering the harmony in the family, she finally sighed, and said softly to Huang Shumin, "Mom was angry just now and said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart."

Ma Xiuzhi said so. Even if Huang Shumin felt uncomfortable, she couldn't care about it in front of her, so she forced a smile, "Mom, I don't take it to heart."

How could she be red-eyed if she didn't take it to heart? Ma Xiuzhi glanced at Huang Shumin, but she was not right after all. In the end, she said nothing, but said: "Don't care what they say, they are all irrelevant rumors. If Qingqing was interested in Fan Zhiqing, she would have taken action long ago. How could she wait until something happened?"

This is not wrong. According to Liang Qingqing's impatience in the past, she would have rushed to Fan Yanxing as soon as she had an idea about him. How could she wait until Fan Yanxing got into an accident like the villagers said?

But it was only half right. Liang Qingqing is not the same "Liang Qingqing". The current Liang Qingqing is not so anxious. She pays attention to taking things slowly, hitting the snake at its weakest point, and acting steadily.

It was true that she had already started to flirt with Fan Yanxing, but if the situation was not urgent, she would never perform artificial respiration on Fan Yanxing in front of so many people.

Because she wanted to save face.

She was also afraid that Fan Yanxing would think the same as those people and ruin the plan.

Fortunately, the final result was not as bad as imagined.

"Who knows this." Huang Shumin couldn't help but muttered, and it happened that Wang Xiaomei ran back with a note at this time, covering up her words with her movements and not letting others hear.

"Give me the things, I'll pack them and give them to Aunt Zhang and the others later." Ma Xiuzhi saw Wang Xiaomei and temporarily put away her messy thoughts.

"Okay."

*

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for your hard work."

After seeing Aunt Zhang off, Liang Junqiang closed the door of the ward, turned around with the package, and explained to Liang Qingqing and Fan Yanxing: "Mom asked Aunt Zhang to bring us some things."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qingqing became interested, took two steps forward, and asked curiously: "What did you bring?"

"Probably clothes and food." He had just touched it and could vaguely guess what was inside.

"Open it and take a look? Is there a letter or something like that?"

As Liang Qingqing spoke, she opened the package. Just as Liang Junqiang said, there were several sets of clothes inside, as well as boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes wrapped tightly in oil paper and several corn buns.

Liang Qingqing did not give up, and turned over the cloth pockets of her clothes. She really found a note, as well as banknotes, all kinds of banknotes. It was obvious that Ma Xiuzhi had given them all her family fortune, and she stuffed them into her pockets for fear of losing them.

Seeing this, Liang Qingqing and Liang Junqiang's eyes were a little red. After a long while, she sniffed, put the bill aside, and opened the note. The handwriting on it was a little sloppy, but it could be seen that it was written by Liang Shuqiang. It was estimated that he was in a hurry, so he wrote faster. Otherwise, according to the degree of care Liang Junqiang usually took for paper and pen, he would never write like this.

The content was full of care, asking them to take good care of themselves and Fan Yanxing, and explained that everything was fine at home now, so that they could rest assured. He also specifically said that because it was inconvenient to look through Fan Yanxing's personal belongings, they took Liang Shuqiang's clothes and let the two wear them together for a while.

From this point, we can see that the Liang family is polite and does not exceed the rules.

Fan Yanxing glanced at Liang Qingqing's red eyes and nose, his eyes darkened slightly, and his clenched fists tightened.

"Mom is really something, leaving all these to us, what will we do at home?" Liang Qingqing's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but mutter, but she knew in her heart that Ma Xiuzhi was worried about them and Fan Yanxing, so she did this, and her eyes immediately became redder, and she wiped her face with emotion.

Liang Junqiang sighed and said nothing, but from his expression, it was clear that he and Liang Qingqing thought the same thing.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and no one spoke for a long time until Fan Yanxing broke the silence: "Qingqing hasn't taken the medicine yet, take it first."

This voice also reminded them that Liang Qingqing was about to take medicine before Aunt Zhang came.

Fan Yanxing handed the water cup on the table to Liang Qingqing, who took it. The next second, a big palm covered her hand. She was startled and almost dropped the water cup. Fortunately, he had been paying attention and did not let the water cup fall to the ground.

Her beautiful eyes widened and she subconsciously looked behind her. After seeing Liang Junqiang was packing clothes and did not notice their little movements, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then glared at Fan Yanxing fiercely. She clenched

her hands, but failed to break away.

Liang Qingqing couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Are you crazy?"

Let alone that they haven't confirmed their relationship yet, just say that in this era of conservatism, even if they are dating, they can't be so intimate in front of people in public, not to mention that the person is her own brother.

If others knew about this, they would probably gossip about it.

Fan Yanxing closed his eyes indifferently, but he cared about her after all. In the end, he just pinched her fingers lightly and took his hand back, and whispered, "You can go back in a few days, don't be sad."

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing was stunned, and then realized that he was comforting her. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and every beat made her feel an inexplicable throbbing.

"I'm not sad when you're here."

After the voice fell, she grabbed his hand that had not been taken back, and the two of them put their palms together. I don't know who was too nervous, but soon the part that was in contact became sticky, and the air around them was also entangled with mist.

In just a few seconds, Fan Yanxing's thoughts turned back and forth several times, his ears were stained with red, and his other hand under the quilt was sweaty. He softened his voice and said, "I will accompany you."
