Chapter 30 Some people spread rumors and others add to the trouble

The villagers have a simple and honest character, especially in a place like Houshan Village. Villagers are almost not willing to marry concubines. In the eyes of people of this era, concubines are worse than concubines. They are not recognized by the main wife and are secretly used by men. If kept outside, she would be just like a woman with fireworks.

Bai Ruozhu probably didn't have a strong understanding of the "outer chamber", so he wasn't too angry after hearing Liu San's wife's words, and just left quietly.

If it were his predecessor, even if he hadn't been so angry at Liu San's wife's words, he would have rushed up to fight her to death.

However, Bai Ruozhu knew what the "outer room" represented. If she was called an "outer room", her parents and brothers would be affected, and even the child in her belly would be looked down upon since childhood.

No, she absolutely can't let this happen!

Bai Ruozhu had no intention of staying in the village longer. She walked towards home and met Fang Guizhi not far away.

"Ruozhu, why did you come out by yourself?" Fang Guizhi looked nervous, fearing that he had also heard the gossip.

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly, "Guizhi, you know what's going on in the village now, right? If you treat me as a friend, tell me immediately if something like this happens 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 she was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would get angry. What should she do?

Bai Ruozhu took Fang Guizhi's hand and softened her tone, "Guizhi, I'm not complaining about you, I just want to know what happens in the future as soon as possible. I also want to think of countermeasures. My mentality is different now. I won't let others gossip just because of others." angry."

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

"Oh?" Bai Ruozhu felt that she was really wise. What she said was so timely, otherwise she would have missed important information. In the memory of her predecessor, Fang Guizhi was always ordered by her mother to do work and run errands. She had many opportunities to go out on weekdays. In addition to her young age, others did not shy away from talking to her, so she often knew some gossip in the village. However, she never If you don't spread it, you can at most just tell little sister Bai Ruozhu secretly.

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

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "I just overheard my parents talking. My mother was crying very sadly." She sighed heavily as she spoke.

Fang Guizhi often went to Bai Ruozhu's house. Bai Ruozhu's mother treated her very well. She gave her delicious food and helped her mend her clothes. Therefore, Fang Guizhi liked Bai Ruozhu's mother very much. He even thought about it more than once if Lin Ping'er How wonderful it would be to be her mother.

So when he heard Lin Pinger crying over this, Fang Guizhi felt very uncomfortable.

"Guizhi, have you heard anything else? What about the Wang family?" Bai Ruozhu also has her own ideas. The strong will is not sweet. If the Wang family is really not suitable to be an in-law, it would be better to break up as soon as possible. good.

"Actually, Wang Caiyue is a nice woman, and she loves her daughter as much as your mother does. That's why she took the initiative to marry your family for the sake of her daughter. Generally, a woman's family with some status would not be willing to do this." Fang Guizhi said with a look of envy. Sexy, how she wished she had a mother who loved her.

"It's just that Sister Caiyue and her mother love her too much. When they heard the rumors that you were an outsider, they were afraid that your family's family tradition would be unhealthy and her daughter would be wronged in the future, so she had the audacity to not see your mother."

Bai Ruozhu didn't know what to say. It was right for the Wang family's aunt 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 sense of judgment. Outsiders said After a few words, they were swayed.

"But I heard that Sister Caiyue's father has not changed his original intention. It's just that the woman's family has come forward to discuss the employment and other matters, and it's not easy for him to intervene. I passed by Wang's house yesterday and heard them quarreling over this matter. Yes." Fang Guizhi added.

No wonder Fang Guizhi knew so clearly. Bai Ruozhu nodded slightly. It seemed that the problem lay with Wang Caiyue's mother. Maybe she was not a bad person, but she was careless and worried that her daughter would be wronged in the future.

"It seems that only by letting those rumors in the village dissipate can Wang Caiyue and her mother change her mind." Bai Ruozhu sighed. If Changsheng himself appeared, the rumors would naturally be dispelled, but where is Changsheng?

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

"It's Liu San's wife 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 suggested.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "It's hard for an honest official to deal with household affairs, let alone the village chief? And I have no evidence to prove that Liu San's wife spread the rumor, let alone that the rumor is not true. I may not be able to do it until the end." It landed well.”

Fang Guizhi pouted, "What should we do? We can't just let her talk nonsense, right?"

Bai Ruozhu had no idea at the moment. In addition, her body was heavy now and she was a little tired after standing for a long time. "I'm going home first. I'll tell you when I think about it later. You should hurry up and do your work. Don't let your mother do it." insulted."

Fang Guizhi slapped her head and said, "Oh, I have to leave quickly." After that, she ran away quickly.

As soon as Bai Ruozhu got home, her mother caught her and scolded her for a long time, blaming her for running around without saying hello. Lin Ping'er also tentatively asked Bai Ruozhu a few questions, but Bai Ruozhu didn't want to say that she heard the conversation between her parents, so Lin Ping'er thought that her daughter had really gone out to get some fresh air.

In the evening, the family gathered around the table for dinner. Lin Ping'er was a little absent-minded and talked a lot less. Bai Ruozhu quietly went to look at the eldest brother's expression, and saw that the eldest brother looked as usual. He probably didn't know the Wang family's current attitude.

Seeing such a sunny, sincere and kind elder brother, Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable again.

After the meal, Bai Zepei went back to the house and continued to study, while Bai Ruozhu spread out in the yard to eat, but he didn't expect an uninvited guest to come to the house.

"Hey, brother and sister, I'm here to see you. I'm afraid that you might be upset, so I came here to persuade you." The person who came was Bai Ruozhu's eldest uncle, Mrs. Wang. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted at the top of her lungs, as if She was afraid that the neighbors wouldn't hear her.

Everyone can understand this kind of weasel's unkind attitude of paying New Year greetings to the chicken, right?

"Auntie, please keep your voice down and don't disturb my second brother's study. He will take the scholar examination soon. Others may not know that you have a loud voice. If there is any gossip again that you are jealous of my second brother. , I don't want it to sound bad if he passes the examination as a scholar." Bai Ruozhu was the first person to see Wang in the yard.

Mrs. Wang's face changed. If she didn't admit that she had a loud voice, it meant that she deliberately disturbed Bai Zepei's study, so that the neighbors heard her and thought she was narrow-minded. But if she admitted that she had a loud voice, she was a virgin. Doesn't it seem like she doesn't understand the rules?
