Chapter 17: Gossip
After Changsheng arrived home, the sky was gradually getting dark, the lights of every house were turned on, and the sound of eating and children playing came out from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Changsheng went back, he told Mulan to see Hui Ying and come back so late, so as not to worry her.
Widow Chen heard Changsheng say to go to see Huiying, and thought that something had happened to Huiying, Changsheng immediately told her that it was okay, went over to see if Huiying had gone to work, and said that Huiying looked much better than before, so Widow Chen was relieved.
At night, Mulan writes there as usual, she can now write her own name, and she will also write Changsheng's name, and now Changsheng will teach from the simple things that he has daily contact.
In addition, Changsheng also took a Xinhua dictionary, which Changsheng used before, and taught Mulan how to look up the dictionary.
Mulan is very happy after using the dictionary, and even the daytime workers seem to be very energetic.
On this day, Mulan and her mother-in-law went to work in different places separately. Mulan was assigned to hoe in the cornfield, along with several other women in the village.
Mulan is not afraid to go to work alone now, and most of the people who go there know each other.
"Mulan, you have to watch him when your parents give birth, I heard that Changsheng hugged a girl yesterday, tsk...... It's only been a month since we got married. The sister-in-law shouted in a loud voice with bad intentions, and the other workers pricked up their ears when they heard this, and turned their heads to Mulan.
Mulan was embarrassed to be looked at by them, but at the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable, there was no wind and no waves, although she believed in Changsheng very much in her heart, but what they said was clear-sighted, and she was still sad in her heart, and these days she had also heard that Changsheng had been a very beautiful girl before, and she knew that she couldn't speak, in the eyes of others, it was like Changsheng wronged herself and married her who was not a good match for him. Under their laughter, Mulan didn't have the heart to work in the future, she just wanted to get off work quickly and go back to ask Changsheng.
In Mulan's repeated mood changes of entanglement and sadness, Mulan got off work, and when she went back, she accidentally scratched her foot and fell down when she passed the ridge, but fortunately it was not deep, but the clothes on her body were dirty, and there was nothing else unusual on her body.
Widow Chen hadn't come back today, and Mulan was glad that she hadn't been seen by them. I went back to the room and changed into clean clothes before I came out to the kitchen, washed rice and prepared to cook dinner. Due to her heavy worries, some of the dishes fried by Mulan that night were mushy, and Widow Chen wondered what was going on with Mulan, she cooked very delicious rice on weekdays, and this phenomenon rarely appeared.
Changsheng always felt a little different when he saw Mulan today, and he didn't greet him sullenly, always keeping his head down and looking preoccupied.
When it was time to sleep at night, Changsheng wanted to ask, but he was very tired from working today, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down, Mulan wanted to ask him, but he didn't dare to disturb when he saw that he was very tired.
On the second day, the family went to work as usual.
Mulan still went to the cornfield to hoe grass like yesterday, the day was a little big today, and everyone was sweating after working for a while, so they all went to rest under the tree to drink some water and rest.
The big banyan tree is very large, evergreen all year round, the crown is very dense, umbrella-shaped, but the appearance is very elegant, natural and simple and admirable.
After drinking water, everyone sat under the tree to rest, and by the way, they chatted there.
When the sister-in-law saw Mulan sitting alone, she said: "Mulan, I know which woman Changsheng is having an affair with, so we can go out for you, there are still people who dare to hook up with a man with a wife in these years, it's too shameless, don't be afraid, we will help you get angry."
Sister-in-law Shan, who was far away that day, stood on the back again, and didn't see clearly who the woman who was hugging Changsheng was, and she didn't dare to recognize it, but Changsheng she saw it clearly, and Mulan's demeanor was not very good today, and there was a green shadow under her eyes, and she must have not rested well yesterday.
Mulan shook her head and smiled bitterly, even if Changsheng did something sorry for her, she didn't want to belittle him with outsiders, not to mention that the truth was not necessarily what the sister-in-law said about her, she remembered every bit of Changsheng's kindness to her, and after thinking about it, she still believed that Changsheng would not do anything out of the ordinary to be sorry for her.
The sister-in-law of the mountain looked at Mulan like that, and she despised her heart very much, this dumb person didn't even dare to be angry about her husband's cheating, and it was not interesting to make trouble again, so she talked to others about other topics.
Changsheng and Gao Yuan are going to the mountains to move stones these days, so people are very tired, and the team has to expand when the pig house is smaller. Today, when the stones are moved enough, everyone will get off work early, and everyone will talk and laugh on the way.
Suddenly, Chen Dashan turned his head and said to Changsheng with bad intentions: "Changsheng, you are so blessed, it is not enough to have such a beautiful wife at home and still provoke outside."
"Brother Shan is talking nonsense, where did I do that, don't ruin my reputation." Changsheng said very seriously, this is not a joke, this is about a person's style, if it is serious, he will be arrested and criticized.
"Then why did my mother-in-law say that she saw a woman in your arms by the stream one day, could it be that my mother-in-law was wrong, you were actually holding a man."
Changsheng thought that it was because he met Xu Fanghua by the stream that day, but he didn't dare to show it in his heart.
Gao Yuan saw Changsheng's nervous expression, and knew that Changsheng must have a hard time, so he said: "Yes, Changsheng is a man, isn't it me, our brothers are good, who is still arguing by the stream that day, who is asking for a drink, maybe I wore more flowers that day, your wife saw it wrong, and thought it was a woman, a misunderstanding is now explained clearly, don't spread it and ruin Changsheng's reputation again." Gao Yuan easily explained what happened, and everyone laughed after listening to it.
And Changsheng looked at Gao Yuan gratefully, Gao Yuan nodded and laughed with everyone again, until they parted ways with the others, and when the two of them walked alone, Gao Yuan asked what Dashan said just now.
So Changsheng told the events of that day, he didn't expect it to be so remote, and since he could still be seen at that time.
After hearing this, Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Changsheng, you are too careless, fortunately, this matter has not spread yet, otherwise the explanation will not be clear, by the way, does Mulan know?"
Changsheng thought of Mulan's stunned face yesterday and said secretly in his heart: If it's bad, won't Mulan know about this?
"I guess I heard that there was something wrong with her yesterday, but I just wanted to ask her when I fell asleep and forgot about it."
"You, wait until you go back and explain to her, haha, after so long, I finally saw you worrying, cherish Mulan, don't be like me,. Look at the one in my family, I picked it up a few days ago, and it was fine on the first day, but the next day it was revealed again and again, and I returned to my true nature, and sooner or later I was tortured by her will have a short life of a few years, alas! Don't mention ......."
Changsheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted, Gao Yuan was indeed more pitiful than him, fortunately, Mulan was reasonable, and he didn't mess with him when he heard the rumors yesterday, so he had to comfort her when he went back.
After saying goodbye to Gao Yuan, they each entered the house, his mother came back, Mulan hadn't finished work yet, and after thinking about it, she told Widow Chen that she had something to go out and let her mother cook dinner.
