Chapter 103: Who Will Believe It
Aunt Nie walked out of the blind corner of the flower path with a long broom for sweeping the yard, and she didn't know how long she had been hiding in the corner and watching, anyway, she walked to Mengmei's head leisurely, bent down and asked her very concerned if it mattered.
Mengmei was lying on the hot gravel path at noon, touching her painful wrist and wiping her tears, when someone suddenly came next to her and scared her to jump up despite the pain.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay, I just fell."
"Oh, I thought you wanted to take a nap here."
Aunt Nie Sanpi curled the corners of her mouth without smiling, waved the broom in her hand and swept the floor around Mengmei, sweeping all the fallen grass blades to her feet, forcing her to run to the sandwich road, avoiding the crowd and going back to the courtyard where she lived.
Lu Doudou and a few of them were taking turns in the courtyard to fetch water and wipe their faces to prepare for a lunch break, and the five of them were talking and laughing, discussing what dishes they would cook when the oven was repaired, and then they saw Mengmei hurriedly walking in with a little wolf, and seeing that everyone in the courtyard was there, they hurriedly walked to their own house.
Xiulan saw Mengmei's wrist tightly covered with her sleeve at a glance, and intuitively felt a little strange, calling out if Mengmei was hiding something, and quickly walked over to pull her hand.
Mengmei was frightened, she pulled her hand and hid, Xiulan didn't give up, the two pulled a few times, Mengmei finally lost the strength of the mature woman, and was grabbed by Xiulan's left wrist and pulled it hard, and immediately screamed in pain.
Xiulan was startled by Mengmei's cry, but she didn't let go, but lifted her cuffs to check and found a terrifying black blue on the back of her wrist.
"Ouch, this is a fight with someone? It's quite bold at a young age. Ever since she knew that Mengmei had gone to climb Wengushan's bed in the middle of the night, Xiulan had always looked at her unpleasantly, and now she moved back to live and sneered every time she met.
"No, it fell." Mengmei didn't pull her wrist back after a few strokes, and provoked Xiulan to pinch her harder, so painful that her voice changed.
"Come and see! How can you fall and hurt the back of your hand? Xiulan shouted to the others to step forward.
"I've seen people who have broken their palms and elbows in wrestling, but I haven't seen anyone who has only broken the back of their hands." Sister-in-law Qian stepped forward and looked at it, and sneered.
"Sister, you see that she has this injury all over her body, I feel like she was deliberately stepped on. Could it be that kneeling on the ground and begging for someone to make people humiliate? Did the cook who these two angels call you to do? Xiulan smiled and pinched Mengmei's wound again.
Mengmei was so hurt that her legs almost weakened, and she shook her head again and again.
"No, it's nothing to do with anyone else."
"That's strange, there has to be an explanation for this injury, otherwise others will think that we hurt you when asked. Besides, as a cook, you can't work for many days if you are injured like this, and the kitchen is now short of manpower, don't you make it difficult for Zeng Zhudai to be the manager. ”
"I'll do some light work, I'm not going to hold you back, I promise." Mengmei didn't have any temper at all, and pleaded in a low voice.
"What's the light work in the kitchen right now? Even the first-class chef sometimes has to do some chores, and you can really be a good talker. ”
"Don't dare, really don't dare, please let me go, I must be a good man, and I don't dare to make trouble for everyone again."
"It's not that we won't let you go, and what you did has already spread, sooner or later it will reach the ears of the eldest lady, we will already give you face if we don't fall into the well, and no one can save you."
"Someone can save me, I know she must have a way, but she hates me, hates me, and just wants to see me fuck off." Mengmei sat on the ground with her back against the wall and cried, Xiulan couldn't hold her back, so she had to let go.
"Mengmei, did you go to Bai Ko before?" Lu Doudou, who had been standing behind without saying a word, vigilantly took two steps forward and stared at her.
"It's so thick-skinned!" The women snorted at her in unison.
"I'm not the only one who has fornicated with men, Bai Ko also meets men behind our backs, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is still three men! Three! Big night in the kitchen! Bai Ko talked and laughed with them! But now she can go and wait for the third young master, and I will be kicked out of the house! Why! Mengmei suddenly roared hysterically.
Hongsu hurriedly ran to check the door of the courtyard, and found that Mengmei came back and there was no latch, so she hurriedly plugged in the latch.
"At that time, Bai Ko stayed in the kitchen every night and didn't come back until midnight, and we had to leave her door, who of us complained at that time? She's actually stealing men! You idiots have all been deceived by her! She has a deceitful face! ”
Mengmei cried and scolded, her voice so loud that she wanted to let the cooks in the adjacent yard hear it.
Of course, Lu Doudou knew how Bai Ko and the Third Young Master got together, but the others didn't know, and they were stunned when they suddenly heard Mengmei shouting and shouting like this, Lu Doudou learned from their expressions, and also pretended to be surprised.
"Mengmei, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence! Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart! Taking advantage of Mengmei's gasping for breath, Lu Doudou was the first to scold.
"That's it! You alone said it from start to finish! Is there any other circumstantial evidence? Red pigment followed Lu Doudou and echoed.
"I saw it with my own eyes that night!"
"The Yamen still needs human and material evidence to solve the case, you say that you have to believe you if you see it with your own eyes? Who doesn't know that you have always held a grudge against Bai Ko for forcing you to publicly do things in Mr. Wen's outer room? Lu Doudou firmly believed that Mengmei did not have definite evidence in her hands, and refuted loudly with confidence.
Everyone present knew the relationship between Lu Doudou and Bai Ko, and it was normal to see her defending Bai Ko's reputation like this.
"I'm not lying! You've all been deceived by White! ”
"Since you've seen it with your own eyes, what do you say those three men look like?" Sister-in-law Qian hurriedly asked.
"They ......"
Mengmei was speechless, she thought hard for a while, but she only vaguely remembered the figures of the three men, but she couldn't remember what clothes they were wearing and what they said, and the fright of that night made her remember it vaguely.
"Look, it's really a lie, it's so easy to make up nonsense." Xiulan crossed her arms and sneered.
Lu Doudou was angry, lifted the skirt and kicked it, kicking Mengmei straight to the ground, and then was immediately dragged away by everyone.
"Don't do anything if you have something to say, if you hurt someone, you won't have good fruit to eat!"
"I'm just angry that she targets Bai Ko everywhere!"
"Lu Doudou, you don't pretend to be pure, and you're not a good thing! Every day and Bai Ko hid in the middle of the road and talked, thinking that I didn't know that the two of you were actually hooking up with a man passing by! Mengmei got up from the ground with a disgraced face and started a fire at Lu Doudou.
"Yo ho! After that, Bai Ko came to me again? I hook up with a guy with Bai Ko? What about the evidence? What do you say with red mouth and white teeth? What do you think you are? Lu Doudou ignored everyone's obstruction and scolded back with a roar.
"Mengmei, don't bite like a mad dog! Catch thieves and stolen goods, take rapists and take pairs, you have to say that there is a problem with the innocence of their little girls, but you have to have evidence to sue in front of the eldest lady, otherwise, you are the unlucky. Sister-in-law Qian grabbed Lu Doudou stubbornly, refuting Mengmei on her lips, but she also gave everyone a wake-up call.
"That's right! Go to the eldest lady and complain! Mengmei, didn't you say that Bai Ko also hooked up with men? Who will the eldest lady believe? Xiulan immediately gloated and waited to watch the show.
Mengmei's feelings that were high because of her anger suddenly subsided, her mouth moved a few times but she didn't say anything, she had no evidence, she really wanted to complain with a hot brain, and it must be her who was unlucky.
"Mengmei, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, Bai Ko is now waiting for the third young master, if any rumors reach the ears of this young master, who do you say he will believe?" Sister-in-law Qian pushed Lu Doudou to Hongsu and Wanqiu to watch, she patted the dust on her clothes, and finally persuaded Mengmei.
"Okay, okay, after the excitement is over, everyone who should rest should rest." Xiulan slapped and coaxed everyone away, only Mengmei was still sitting on the ground stupidly, but no one paid attention to her.
