Zhuang family has a simple character, especially in a place like Houshan Village, the people in the village are almost not interested in marrying a concubine, and in the eyes of people in this era, the outer room is worse than a concubine, not recognized by the main wife, and is secretly raised outside by a man, just like a fireworks woman.

Probably Bai Ruozhu didn't have a strong cognitive concept of the "outer room", and he didn't get too angry after listening to Liu San's daughter-in-law's words, but just left quietly.

If you change to the predecessor, I am afraid that I will not be angry with Liu San's daughter-in-law's words, and I will have to rush up and fight with her.

However, Bai Ruozhu knows what the "outer room" represents, if she is named the "outer room", her parents and brother will be affected, and even the child in her womb will be looked down upon since childhood.

No, she couldn't let that happen!

Bai Ruozhu didn't plan to stay in the village for long, she walked in the direction of home, and didn't go far before she ran into Fang Guizhi.

"Ruozhu, why did you come out on your own?" Fang Guizhi showed a nervous expression, afraid that he had also heard those gossips.

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly, "Guizhi, you know the words that are spread in the village now, right? If you are a friend of me, you will immediately sue me as soon as there is such a thing in the future, and don't hide anything." ”

"I—I'm afraid I'm angry. Fang Guizhi blushed, she didn't want to hide it from Bai Ruozhu, but what if she was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would be angry?

Bai Ruozhu took Fang Guizhi's hand, and his tone softened, "Guizhi, I'm not complaining about you, I just want to know something sooner in the future, and I'm thinking about countermeasures, I'm in a different state of mind now, and I won't be angry because of a few gossips from others." ”

Fang Guizhi nodded vigorously, "I know, then I have to tell you something." ”

"Oh?" Bai Ruozhu felt that he was really wise, this was too timely, otherwise he would have missed important information. In the memory of her predecessor, Fang Guizhi was always called by her mother to work and run errands, and there were many opportunities to go out on weekdays, plus she was young and others didn't shy away from her when she spoke, so she often knew some gossip in the village, but she never spread it, at most she secretly told her little sister Bai Ruozhu.

"It's about your eldest brother, the Wang family doesn't seem to want to marry your family. Fang Guizhi carefully looked at Bai Ruozhu's expression, and saw that she was not too surprised, so he hurriedly asked, "You know everything?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "I just overheard my father's and mother's conversation, and my mother was crying very sadly." She sighed heavily.

Fang Guizhi often went to Bai Ruozhu's house, Bai Ruozhu's mother treated her very well, gave her delicious food, and helped her mend her clothes, so Fang Guizhi liked Bai Ruozhu's mother very much, and even thought about how good Lin Ping'er would be if she were her mother more than once.

So at this moment, hearing Lin Ping'er crying about this, Fang Guizhi felt very uncomfortable.

"Gui Zhi, have you heard any news, what is the Wang family's behavior?" Bai Ruozhu also has his own thoughts, the twisted melon is not sweet, if the Wang family is really not suitable for being in-laws, it is better to break it early.

"Actually, Wang Caiyue is a good mother, and she loves her daughter very much like your mother. That's why I took the initiative to marry your family for the sake of my daughter, and the woman's family, who usually has a bit of status, refused to do so. Fang Guizhi said with a look of envy, how much she wished she had a mother who loved her.

"It's Sister Caiyue that her mother loves her too much, and when she heard the rumors that you are in the outer room, I am afraid that your family style is not right, and her daughter will be wronged in the future, so she will not see your mother with a cheeky face. ”

Bai Ruozhu didn't know what to say, it was right for the aunt of the Wang family to love her daughter and think about her daughter, but from Bai Ruozhu's point of view, she would also complain that the Wang family had no judgment at all, and they would be shaken when outsiders said a few words.

"But I heard that Sister Caiyue's father didn't change his original intention, but he just talked about hiring these things from the woman's family, and he was not very easy to interfere with, I passed by the Wang family yesterday, and I heard them quarrel about this matter. Fang Guizhi added.

No wonder Fang Guizhi knew so clearly, Bai Ruozhu nodded slightly, it seems that the problem lies with Wang Caiyue's mother, maybe she is not a bad person, but she cares about chaos, afraid that her daughter will be wronged in the future.

"It seems that only by letting those rumors in the village dissipate can Wang Caiyue and her mother change their minds. Bai Ruozhu sighed, if Changsheng himself appeared, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating, but where was Changsheng?

It was the first time that Bai Ruozhu was looking forward to the return of Changsheng so much, not only for the sake of the child in her womb, but also for the relatives at home.

"It's Liu San's daughter-in-law who is talking nonsense behind her back, otherwise you go to the village chief to expose her and let the village chief make the decision for you!" Fang Guizhi said.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "It's difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, let alone the village head? And I have no evidence to prove that Liu San's daughter-in-law spread the rumors, let alone prove that the rumors are not true, and I may not be able to settle well in the end." ”

Fang Guizhi pursed her lips, "Then what should I do, you can't let her talk nonsense everywhere, right?"

Bai Ruozhu couldn't do anything for a while, plus her body would be sinking, and she was a little tired after standing for a long time, "I'll go home first, and I'll tell you when I think about it, you should hurry up and get busy, don't let your mother scold." ”

Fang Guizhi patted his head, "Alas, I have to leave quickly." With that, she ran away.

As soon as Bai Ruozhu arrived home, she was caught by her mother and trained for a long time, blaming her for running around without saying hello. Lin Ping'er also asked Bai Ruozhu a few words tentatively, but Bai Ruozhu didn't want to say that she heard the conversation between her father and mother, so Lin Ping'er thought that her daughter was really going out to breathe.

In the evening, the family ate around the table, Lin Ping'er was a little absent-minded, and there were a lot fewer words, Bai Ruozhu quietly looked at the eldest brother's expression, only to see that the eldest brother looked as usual, and he should not know the attitude of the Wang family now.

Looking at such a sunny, sincere, and kind big brother, Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable again.

After dinner, Bai Zepei went back to the house to continue reading, while Bai Ruozhu spread food in the yard, but he didn't want uninvited guests to come to the house.

"Oh, brother and sister, I'll come to see you, I'm afraid that you will be in a panic, so I came to persuade you. It was Bai Ruozhu's eldest aunt Wang, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted in a loud voice, as if she was afraid that her neighbors would not hear her.

This kind of weasel's posture of not having a good heart to greet the chickens for the New Year is something that everyone can understand, right?

"Auntie, you be quiet, don't disturb my second brother's study, he will soon take the Xiucai exam, others may not know that you are a loud voice, in case there is a little gossip that you are jealous of my second brother, and it will not sound good if you don't want him to pass the exam. "Bai Ruozhu was in the courtyard, and he was the first person to see the Wang family.

Wang's face changed, and she didn't admit that she was a loud voice, that is, she deliberately disturbed Bai Zepei's study, so that the neighbors heard it and felt that she was narrow-minded;
