The street teahouse in Huhai City is noisy.

Even though the literacy rate is generally not high today, and most of them are illiterate, their enthusiasm for listening to and enjoying all kinds of gossip news has not diminished.

There are special readers in the teahouses to help read some newspaper news, and some teahouses also have storytellers who talk from time to time.

People love to hear that, too.

Not to mention the well-off at home, even ordinary workers and coachmen are also willing to come over to drink a cup of inferior tea and listen to some lively news.

If there is a storyteller.

Then I like it even more.

After listening to the newspaper news read by others, everyone who is not busy will stay and discuss with the familiar people around them.

Boast and brag about your own opinions.

Those who talk loudly and don't know about it can't even think that they are the leaders of any country.

Recently, the tea guests in the teahouse have discussed more about the new government policy, but about the marriage of the only unmarried daughter of the Song family.

Half a month ago, when the news of the marriage between the youngest daughter of the Song family and the young poet Xu Huizhou first came out, I don't know how many people were annoyed.

Most of those who are annoyed feel that even the Xu family's family background can climb the Song family, and if they are bolder, they may be able to climb it.

But now it's a foregone conclusion.

They could only barely get a couple of sentences.

Later, Xu Huizhou published an article saying goodbye to the past, which also caused a lot of heated discussions.

Because he has already married the Song family.

Therefore, many people want to sell face, even if they can see the deep meaning of his writing this article, they will not deliberately provoke it, but they have to properly praise two sentences, and condemn it with the same incident.

Anyway, it's just a condemnation of an ignorant abandoned woman.

Literacy or non-literacy is a problem.

Therefore, nature does not matter.

Although these literati talk about freedom of love, freedom of marriage, equality between men and women, etc., most of them are still inferior to men and women in their bones, and most of the so-called equality between men and women are just superficial.

They know that they can be famous by doing this, and they know that only by doing so can they get the favor of some noble women, break the original class constraints, and marry a wife with a higher status.

Say it's freedom.

In fact, it is mostly driven by profits.

At this time, they didn't know the identity of Xu Huizhou's ex-wife, let alone the Liu family, which is now in full swing among the wealthy families, is the mean ex-wife's maiden family written in Xu Huizhou's article.

Qiao Mu has been waiting for his article for several years, and now that his article has finally been published, he naturally can't bear it.

Officially began to manipulate public opinion.

Of course, Qiao Mu didn't go out to quarrel with him in person, because it was too embarrassing to do so, Qiao Mu just described the real situation of the matter in the tone of a bystander.

And then have it circulated in some newspapers.

In fact, at first, Qiao Mu also planned to write about his romances with the women he had contacted before, but in the end, he thought that if he really did this, those women would probably not be good people in the future, and they might even commit suicide.

So you can only press and not mention.

After that, Qiao Mu thought that some people might not believe it just to depict the real situation.

The evidence is also not very comprehensive.

So I specially collected a lot of other evidence, such as account books and the like, and then also signaled some newspaper reporters to Xiangfu Street to interview the neighbors around the Xu family, focusing on interviewing the Wang family, who had a bad relationship with the Xu family.

After doing so.

Public opinion soon changed.

On the one hand, the memories written by the person concerned in his own tone and emotion, and on the other hand, the information summarized by the surrounding neighbors and those who witnessed it at the time, there is a higher credibility and it is completely obvious.

For a while, the major teahouses simply exploded.

Almost everybody was talking about it.

No matter what era, a celebrity scandal is a thing that makes everyone want to eat melons like crazy.

So it was, so it is now.

This will continue to be the case in the future.

……

Xiangfeng Teahouse, in the box on the third floor

Seven or eight little girls were eating exquisite afternoon tea and drinking black tea along the way.

It's just that there are two or three who are visibly depressed.

Wang Huiyuan put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile:

"My sisters, what's wrong?

Who bother? ”

"Sister Wang, is this asking for some reason?

Who else can they be, it is nothing more than the surname Xu, in the past, they wrote a few sour poems to the surname Xu, which was praised and praised, and the memoirs written by the surnamed Xu some time ago moved them even more, and they couldn't wait to tear up his ex-wife for him.

I even wrote an article to support it.

Now it's a coincidence, a slap in the face.

I really didn't expect that the ex-wife surnamed Xu turned out to be Liu Anping, he really doesn't know gold and jade, and only cares about clinging to the powerful. ”

Mi Siyu has long been concerned about Liu Anping because of Li Shaoshuai's rejection of marriage, and at this time not only knows Liu Anping's achievements, but also likes and admires her very much, admiring her ability.

Therefore, he naturally has no good impression of Xu Huizhou, and he has a good temper without scolding.

"Sister Mi speaks so ugly.

Those news interviews may be that the Liu family spent money to buy off the surrounding neighbors and let them deliberately belittle Mr. Xu, how can this be taken seriously?

Money can make ghosts grind, then the Liu family is very rich now, all walks of life can intervene, and even sold a lot of things to foreign devils, it must be that their family can't see Teacher Xu, so they deliberately found someone to arrange those nonsense and slander Teacher Xu, if you don't help, it's just that, how can you still ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Mi Siyu: "You can shut up!"

That Xu Huizhou didn't refuse his mother to marry him, and even went to the church to get married, if he really didn't like it, then why did he still worship the church to get married, don't take the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker to speak.

He is an advocate of the freedom of marriage.

Believe these?

Also, whether he went abroad to study on the second day of marriage, and didn't even participate in the return three days later, it can be seen that he is extremely irresponsible.

Moreover, is it true that the girl of the Liu family kept filial piety for his father for three years, he did not return home for four years after his father's death, and whether it is true that he did not keep filial piety or cry for the grave, these things cannot lie at all, and you can find out whether the truth of the matter is true or not!

Later, the matter of divorce for childlessness was specially published in their local newspapers, which was known to the locals, and I had already received the newspapers and periodicals of that year, which was very exciting.

Moreover, this matter was not the first of the Liu family, it was obviously the one surnamed Xu who thought that he had a backer and could get carried away if he leaned on the Song family, so he couldn't help but send a ghost memoir first, which made the Liu family angry and began to fight back.

This disgusting person still has someone to wash.

Are you coal washers?

Or is it the one responsible for bleaching? ”

Sister Mi said that it did make sense.

If you didn't like it back then, then don't get married, why delay the girls of the Liu family, but unfortunately the girls of the Liu family are now nearly thirty years old, and they are still single and have not remarried. ”

Wang Huiyuan also agreed.

In any case, the girl of the Liu family rejected the proposal of Li Shaoshuai's family, which did make her have a lot of good feelings for her, and now that she knows Liu Anping's past, she can't help but feel a little sympathetic.

"You...... You guys, why are you like this?

Mr. Xu was also our gentleman. ”

"What about being a gentleman, there are not twenty but a dozen gentlemen who have taught us, is it some kind of talisman that he has been our husband?

Speaking of which, I'm more curious about the Song family now.

You say, what will the Song family do? ”

Mi Siyu said again.

Then he continued to laugh, and this time there was obviously a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

Who made her father belong to the Education Bureau?

Half a month ago, her father would complain from time to time that the Song family had used their relationship with the Chen family to install people in the Education Bureau.

Now I can't say that her father won't have to be so bad in the future, and I feel happy when I think about it.

"The Song family, the Song family really has a headache.

Their family has always been face-saving, but this time there was such a big mistake, it is estimated that the old man in their family is almost already inhaling oxygen now.

Tsk, it's interesting to think about.

It's a pity that it's not good to go over and see.

According to my estimate, the Song family may only have two choices this time, either choose to acquiesce in this matter and remain silent, and wait for the rumors to pass.

Either the strong man will cut his wrists.

or divorce for his little daughter, or directly expel his little girl from the house.

However, the specific situation depends on how his little girl makes trouble, and how high their family's tolerance is for his little girl.

We're going to have a good time. ”

Wang Huiyuan said this at the same time.

The Song family did make a noise.

……

In the Song family manor, in the living room of the main room.

The head of the Song family was venting his anger:

"I'm angry, I'm angry!

At the beginning, you told me that the kid had a good character and was a character worthy of being entrusted for life, but now, is this kind of character a character worthy of being entrusted for life? I see that you are pushing Qian Si into the fire pit and roasting the Song family on the fire.

Do you know what outsiders say about our family now, that our family is picking up rags, that we bring everything dirty and smelly to our house?

My old face is clean and clean. ”

"What do you mean by that, sir?

It's all my fault.

Whether this can be done in the end, isn't it all up to you to make the decision, what can I say as a stepmother, naturally she can do what she wants, if I stop it, I have to be told that I treat my stepdaughter harshly, and I can't see her well!

I don't bear this charge. ”

Chen Feiling's status is not low, although she is a stepfamily, she is not afraid at all, after rolling her eyes and refuting it, she left angrily, and she didn't plan to stay here to quarrel with him at all.

With this idle time, shopping, playing pai gow is not better than anything else, and a bad old man arguing with him here, she is crazy to do this.

As for the card players asking about the family.

What do you have to say?

She doesn't have a weak heart.

However, when she left, the children in the family did not dare to run, so they could only stay in the living room aggrievedly and listen to their father's reprimand.

Of course, the Song family obviously can't just scold and scold at home, while their family sent people to find trouble with the Liu family, they quickly published a newspaper saying that Xu Huizhou's character was not good, and all the previous marriage contracts were done, this time, the Song family did not continue to be willful and accustomed to their little daughter, but locked the little daughter in the house and grounded her.

Xu Huizhou, as a relatively high-level cultural person, has never disdained to pay attention to things in the shopping mall, so even though the Liu family has grown many, many times over, he still doesn't know it, and when the Liu family's counterattack arrives, he knows the current situation of the Liu family through a few friends.

However, before he could come up with any way to refute it, the Song family had already published a newspaper to dissolve his marriage with the youngest daughter of the Song family, and at the same time, he also received a dismissal document from the Education Bureau.

For a time, almost embattled.

There is no way, the evidence prepared by Qiao Mu is too sufficient, from the list of dowries to the account books of the Xu family, from the account books of Xu's father's expenses for smoking cigarettes to the evidence of gambling debts of Xu's mother to his younger brother who repaid tens of thousands of silver dollars, and even the copies of the divorce letter and the divorce letter of the year are very complete.

overturn all the slanders of Xu Huizhou.

The evidence can no longer be hammered.

It's a complete hammer to death.

Although all this evidence can't add up to send him to prison, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they all know that one thing is not authentic, and no matter how shameless people are, they are embarrassed to say that the Liu family is not doing anything wrong when they look at these evidences, and at most two sentences of Hugh Fushu are a bit too much or something.

Of course, if there is no memoir written by Xu Huizhou in front of him, even if Qiao Mu lists all the relevant evidence, it is not of much use, although everyone will condemn Xu Huizhou, but it will definitely not step on him to death like now, because if there is no previous slander, it is not a big deal to list these evidences, at most it can only be regarded as not meeting a good person.

And in this world, there are many people who have not met their lovers, and there are not one or two unsympathetic people on any street, and one or two poor daughters-in-law cannot be found.

The current situation.

Arbor is accustomed to calling it a backlash of public opinion.

That is, when a person wants to rely on public opinion to deal with another person, the other person can come up with real evidence to hammer the person in front of him who wants to rely on public opinion to deal with others, and the masses of the people will not only hate the person at the beginning because they were fooled in the front, but also have a certain amount of apology for the person who took out the real hammer later.

The two phases are superimposed, and it is naturally counterproductive.

This kind of situation is rare now, but in some worlds with developed information, Qiao Mu has seen this situation too many times, and he is naturally very clear about this kind of public opinion manipulation, and even the reason why Xu Huizhou's memoirs before can have such a big impact and let so many people see it is also Qiao Mu who is fueling the fire and helping to promote.

In order to form a public opinion backlash.

I want to fight with Qiao Mu for such a thing as engaging in public opinion.

It's just too tender.

Don't say that he was already at a loss, in terms of arbor's means, even if he doesn't pay attention to the loss, then arbor also has a way to fabricate picture evidence and splash dirty water, at this time, everyone trusts the photo very much, and basically no one thinks that the photo can be faked.

Can be for arbors.

Counterfeiting couldn't be easier.

Even if there is no P-map software now, then Arbor has a way to create all kinds of fake photos.

After this incident, Xu Huizhou's reputation completely spread all over the country, but unfortunately it was not a good reputation, and his original job in the newspaper was completely lost.

……

The old house of the Liu family, in the Weihe Hall

Qiao Mu soon received the information of the Song family's counterattack, and looked at their family's counterattack methods, and couldn't help but smile: "Their family is really naïve."

I thought they would spread rumors that something in our house was poisonous, or that something in our house was bad for feng shui or something.

Unexpectedly, they actually blocked it directly.

It's too shoddy.

If I spread rumors, I may really have a headache how to explain to those ordinary people who don't know a single word, but if it is blocked, how can there be a shortage of buyers for my family's things, they don't want it, and some foreign compradors from various countries are willing to ask for it.

Renming, go back and send someone to pull everything back, find a new channel to sell it, and at the same time don't forget to completely cut off the relationship with those channels that blocked us, and the things in the house are not allowed to be sold to them in the future, I still don't believe it, their Song family can still cover the sky with one hand in this country.

By the way, has the firm you set up been formed, if it is formed, then your firm can also start to do the first thing, cutting off the rest of the supply of the entire Huhai City except for grain.

Others ask why.

You just say that the Song family doesn't allow it.

I want to see how long a mere Song family can last against me, heh. ”

To be honest, most of the people at this time were ignorant and superstitious, if someone really spread rumors about poison or destruction of feng shui.

That arbor really has a headache.

Because since ancient times, it has been a rumor.

Refuting rumors and breaking legs.

But now it's just banned.

That's a lot easier.

"Grandma, the Chamber of Commerce has been formed.

However, will we be jealous of others and cause trouble in the future?

Let's leave it at that.

Looking back, there are means to deal with the Song family, and there is no need to care about the losses for a while. ”

Although Liu Renming also felt that this was very relieving, he had to worry about other issues.

None of them are stupid, if they can cut off all the supplies except food in a big city at will with a chamber of commerce.

Does that mean they can cut off the food supply of those cities anytime and anywhere?

This is definitely a cause for fear for those who live in those big cities, and it will definitely cause the government and those warlords to be jealous, and if they are lucky, they may just be ordered to dissolve the Chamber of Commerce, but if they are unlucky, they may be suppressed as a whole.

"Say you're not smart, you're really not smart.

I'm not asking you to cut it off directly.

Isn't the Song family blocking our Liu family's products, you will mark all the products that are shipped to Huhai City with the mark of the Liu family, and when the time comes, they will be transported to the shore of Shanghai and not allowed to enter, what does that have to do with you, did you deliberately cut it off?

That's not about our family.

Even we have a lot to lose.

We've got everything in there, but they won't let us in, so what can we do? ”

Qiao Mu was very helpless to look at his grandson, he couldn't figure out this little thing, I really don't know how the factory expanded smoothly in the past few years.

I don't know how to work around.

You don't transport things in and you don't let them in, it's two completely different concepts, but the result is the same.

"Oh! Oh, you can do that!

They joined our Liu Family Chamber of Commerce, so their products should be marked with the mark of our Liu family, according to this, in fact, we can even mark the grain with the mark of our family.

Grandma, why don't we ......?"

Liu Renming was suddenly enlightened by Qiao Mu's words, but then he gave birth to more ideas, such as if he didn't cut off the food for them together, maybe the effect would be better.

"This can't work, we just want to teach the Song family a lesson, and we don't completely tear their faces with their family, and besides, those big families who don't have food for half a year and a year, but most of the ordinary people can only reserve food for one or two months, if the food is really cut off, it is the ordinary people who suffer in the end, and they have to spend several times the price to buy food to eat."

Qiao Mu immediately dismissed his idea.

Other things, such as soaps, soaps, skin care products, mirrors, bicycles, and even clothes, are something that most ordinary people can't afford, or are reluctant to buy.

Clothes or something, that is at most during the New Year's holidays, and under normal circumstances, they will not buy at all, so for the vast majority of ordinary people, as long as they endure a little, it will pass.

Grass ash can be used without soap.

I didn't have it in the past, and I won't come here.

But it's not the same for the rich.

Used it well.

Who wants to use a bad one?

"Alright then, I'll let you know.

By the way, grandma, what the hell is my sister doing there, recently, my sister has almost finished paying her dividends, that's tens of millions of silver dollars, I don't dislike my sister for spending too much, but it's too much of a waste of money. ”

After Liu Renming replied to the matter of dealing with the Song family, he hesitated restlessly for a while, and then said to Qiao Mu embarrassedly.

His sister uses his own dividends, he can actually understand, after all, this money is distributed to his sister, then it should be his sister's, but in just a few months, tens of millions have been used, which is really a bit exaggerated, their family has recently recruited 100,000 homeless people in Nanyang, giving them a full meal every day, and eating meat the next day, but so far it has only used more than one million silver dollars.

Comparatively.

His sister's expenses were horrifying.

Qiao Mu can understand, but there are some things that are not easy to say now, after all, she shouldn't know:

"What do you care about so much?

and did not use your money.

Before leaving, your sister told me that she was doing a great research right now, and that if it came out, it might change the world, that your sister was not a reckless person, and that she should have shipped a lot of things to her lab during this time.

Those silver dollars are probably spent on those things, you don't care about the specifics, I believe she has a sense of proportion, if she doesn't have enough silver dollars in her hand, give her my red. ”
