Chapter 16: Gossip
Wang saw Lin Mei's face flushed, annoyed and angry, and his heart was still a little stunned, usually gentle like a kitten, but he didn't expect to start a fire, and his temper was not small.
"Meizi, don't worry, you ...... with that son" Wang wanted to ask if he really had a leg, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.
"There's nothing going on at all, Fourth Aunt, you have to call the shots for me, my father was injured just to save that man, and the first time Xiao Gongzi came to the door was to repay my father's life-saving grace, so they didn't say they could come to my father to propose marriage." Rumors are like invisible knives, they can't kill people, but they can disgust people to death, although Lin Mei is angry, it's okay, if Daddy Lin listens to these gossips, he won't be angry. He explained to Wang.
"What happened to the yellow matchmaker's door? The people in the village said that the rich son had taken a fancy to you and wanted to take you as a concubine, and invited the yellow matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and the people in the village said that he had a nose and eyes. Wang was still puzzled.
"Aunt Huang came to the door from my father, you also know that my marriage with the Liu family is not successful, my father asked Aunt Huang to help me find a family matter, if you don't believe it, you can ask Aunt Huang if my father asked her to help me find a family matter." Lin Mei didn't want to say that Huang Matchmaker was looking for Daddy Lin to talk about her relationship, so she skipped this paragraph, anyway, Daddy Lin really entrusted his marriage to Huang Matchmaker, and she would know about it as soon as she asked Huang Matchmaker.
"What's the matter with you two having a private meeting at a bookstore?" Wang knew Lin Mei's personality and knew that she was telling the truth, so he asked again.
In the face of Wang's questioning, Lin Mei said directly: "If you want to say that this matter is also a coincidence, isn't this sending Shanzi to study, my father asked me to go to the bookstore to buy pen and ink for Shanzi, and I met Xiao Gongzi who was also there." I just said hello to Xiao Gongzi, fourth aunt, you have to call the shots for your niece, wow, who is so lacking in virtue to spread rumors behind his back, I have never offended anyone in the village, how much hatred is this, this is to force me to die again. As she spoke, the more Lin Mei thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and she shed tears.
The Wang family is extremely protective, she can only bully, but she can't allow others to bully the Lin family, not to mention that the Wang family still has a daughter who has not said kiss, if Lin Mei's reputation is ruined, it will also affect her own daughter.
Seeing that Lin Mei was crying angrily, Wang's temperament came up, and directly pulled Lin Mei and said, "Let's go, let's talk to them." After speaking, he pulled Lin Mei and went to her mother's house.
Lin Mei asked Peach to take good care of the house, and she had something to go out, and Peach saw that her sister's eyes were red and she was in a bad mood, so she nodded obediently.
Along the way, she met people in the village, and was pointed at, Lin Mei knew that if this matter was not suppressed, the Lin family would not want to raise their heads in the village in the future.
When she arrived at Wang's mother's house, Lin Mei fell directly on Wang's mother's body, crying aggrievedly: "Grandmother, you have to make the decision for me, otherwise I will have to twist my hair and be my sister-in-law to prove my innocence." ”
Wang's mother, Wang Song, was notoriously pungent in the village when she was young, everyone called her the king of live Yama behind her back, and it was easier to talk without offending, if anyone offended her, who would wait for bad luck, Wang Song could sit at the door of his house and scold him for three days and three nights, without repeating the scolding. The people of the village did not dare to offend her.
"Oh hey, what's going on, stop crying, tell me what's going on?" Wang Song had actually guessed it in his heart, but he still asked.
"Mother, what else can it be, my brother-in-law is not telling you about Lin Mei, I am not in a hurry, so I asked Lin Mei, and Lin Mei said that it is not like that at all." Wang told Wang Song what he had heard from Lin Mei again.
Lin Mei saw that someone was standing up for her, so she continued to cry quietly, and when she had done the whole thing, Lin Mei rubbed her eyes vigorously to make it redder.
After Wang finished speaking, he also said to Wang Song: "Mother, you have to be the master of this girl, but this girl has no mother since she was a child, I treat her as a daughter, besides, Xing'er is your own granddaughter, if Meizi's reputation is ruined, Xing'er has such a cousin, then she can still be said to be a good family." ”
Wang Song still doesn't know his daughter, he knows that it is fake to be in charge of Lin Mei, and he is afraid that it will affect his daughter's marriage. But I don't debunk it, I think that Lin Mei is a hard life, if her mother is still there, then she can tolerate other people's nonsense, and she would have jumped up and worked hard.
"Zhao Di's mother, come over for a moment." Wang Song can't tolerate his granddaughter being innocently affected.
"Mother, what's the matter?" The little daughter-in-law, Jiang Guihua, came in with a big belly and asked.
Wang Song's little daughter-in-law gave birth to three girls in a row, and she didn't give birth to a son for a long time, and she has been haunted by it, but now she is pregnant again, Wang Song's prayer to the Bodhisattva every day is afraid of having another girl, so she let the little daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house to learn from her sister-in-law.
"Who did you listen to about Meizi, do you know who spread it?" Wang Song asked.
"I heard my sister-in-law tell me about this, but it wasn't from my sister-in-law, Meizi, you have to believe me, my sister-in-law is not that kind of person." Jiang Guihua saw that Lin Mei was also there, and she was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she quickly clarified for her sister-in-law.
"Don't talk about this uselessness, you know where your sister-in-law heard it." Wang Song's family can't see Jiang's point the most, twisting and pinching, not at all as neat as when he was young.
"I heard my sister-in-law say that it seems that the Fang family heard about it when they were passing by." Jiang was a little unsure of his mother-in-law's attitude, so he said it directly.
"Fang family, which Fang family, how many families in the village have the surname Fang?" Wang asked, Wang couldn't see his brother and daughter-in-law like this, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"It can still be the Fang family, Aunt Lin Mei's sister Zhang Hehua's family, she and the Lin family are still in-laws." After Jiang finished speaking, he also looked at Lin Mei's stomach.
Seeing Lin Mei's inconspicuous belly, she couldn't help but say, "You're really pregnant......."
Smack, Wang Song angrily picked up the broom on the kang and threw it directly on Jiang's feet, this brainless ......
"Mother, why are you beating me, it's not what I said, I heard my sister-in-law say that Lin Mei has long been on good terms with others, she has been seen several times, and now she is pregnant, and she doesn't see the man's family come to pick her up, and said that Lin Mei was embarrassed to go out because of this, and hid at home and cried every day, and his father had no choice but to let Huang Matchmaker find a way to marry someone who was not disgusted." Jiang shouted.
The rumors have spread like this, Wang Shi was angry and didn't fight, just went back to his parents' house and listened to a few words and left, I didn't expect there to be such words, it was too vicious. This is to force Meizi to death and stink the Lin family.
"You still say, you still say, see if I don't kill your chicken that doesn't lay eggs......" Wang Song saw that Lin Mei's face was blue and a little embarrassed, and he raised his hand at his little daughter-in-law as if he wanted to beat.
Seeing this, Lin Mei hurriedly took Wang Song's hand and said, "No, my little sister-in-law is still pregnant with a child." ”
When Jiang saw Lin Mei speaking for him, he kindly reminded: "I also heard about ...... I heard that ...... "didn't finish speaking, and I didn't dare to continue for fear of upsetting my mother-in-law."
Lin Mei also wanted to hear what other rumors there were, so she said: "Little aunt, what else do you say to hear, just say it, I, Lin Mei, can still stand it." ”
