Chapter 117 Being Bullied
Chen Ming nodded, sighed and said, "Your mother went to bed late last night and hasn't gotten up yet." He then pulled Chen Afu to the other side of the side door and said softly, "There are some unpleasant rumors in the village now. Afu listens." Don't take it personally. Just remember that your mother is a good woman, a good wife, and a good mother. If you respect her in the past, you will still respect her in the future. Sad, dad won’t be happy either.”
His tone was as gentle as before, but his expression was extremely serious.
This man is so nice! Chen Afu was a little moved.
She put her hand around Chen Ming's arm and said, "Dad, no matter what others say, I only believe what I see and what I feel. I know that my mother is the best mother, and my father is also the best." Dad. I will respect you and honor you throughout my life.”
Chen Ming nodded happily, patted Chen Afu's hand holding him and said, "Good girl. The hardships your mother suffered before were not in vain."
While the two were talking, Alu came out on crutches. His little face was tense, and he came over and asked Chen Mingdao, "Dad, why did my mother cry so hard last night? Who bullied her?"
Chen Ming sighed and repeated what he just said.
Chen Alu nodded heavily and said, "My mother is so good, how could I not respect her? Those gossips are so abominable, why are they talking about my mother?"
Chen Afu said, "We can't stop other people's mouths. We should try not to let my mother go outside these days, and also prevent my uncle from coming over to gossip."
At about chen o'clock, Wang got up. Her eyes were still red and a little swollen. When I came out, I saw my husband and children talking in the yard, which made me feel a little embarrassed. Said, "Mom got up late."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "The food is ready, go to my place to eat."
After Mrs. Wang washed up, Chen Afu went over and took her arm, and they went to the west room of the new courtyard together. Dabao was also very diligent today and had already scooped out the rice and put it on the table. Because I was afraid of burning it, I only scooped out half a bowl of porridge.
The few of them ate in silence. Chen Ming would give Wang some shredded radish from time to time, and also peeled off the eggshells and handed them to her, making Wang blush.
Wang gave him an angry look, and he laughed twice.
The other people were afraid that Mrs. Wang would be embarrassed, so they pretended not to see it and ate their food with their heads down. Especially Alu, in order to show that he was concentrating on eating and not seeing anything else, he drank porridge much louder than usual.
After the meal, Chen Afu got up and led Zhui Feng to water the vegetable field and fetch water, while Wang did housework at home.
While walking on the road, Chen Afu saw some people standing in the distance pointing fingers at her. When he saw her approaching, he was frightened and ran away.
Chen Afu knew that they were talking about the Wang family. It is said that most of the villagers are kind-hearted, but once they gossip irresponsibly, their words are still as sharp as a knife.
She didn't hear what they said, and there was nothing she could do about it. She just pretended that she didn't see those strange looks. After watering the vegetable field and filling the water tank, he took Zhui Feng with a big basin to wash clothes by the stream outside the village. It is late autumn now, and the water in the stream is already very cold, but most people still go to the stream to wash their clothes instead of boiling water at home. After a few days, when the weather gets colder, you will have to boil water for watering.
As soon as we reached the entrance of the village, we met Mr. Gao carrying a big basin.
Mrs. Gao said with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Ah Fu, for taking a trip to Fucheng and bringing us so many things, including clothes and food. Especially Da Ya's little satin clothes, oh, they are so rich." Only the ladies wear it.”
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Look what my sister-in-law said, there is nothing to thank you for. Big brother has helped my family so much, but I didn't go out of my way to pull a piece of cloth for you..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mrs. Gao knew her concerns and smiled, "That's enough. How can we be so dissatisfied." He then whispered, "Last night, my sister-in-law kept crying when she came home. My father-in-law taught me a lesson when he came back." She also slapped her shoes several times. My aunt was not happy, saying that she loved this sister for nothing and even wanted the things she was given as a wedding gift." He then pursed his lips and smiled, "My father-in-law said, let my aunt follow her later. We are learning to cook. This is best, otherwise my mother-in-law and I will be even more busy after my aunt gets married."
The two walked towards the stream while talking and laughing.
There is a huge boulder by the stream, and there are some smooth stones under the boulder, where the women like to wash their clothes.
As soon as Chen Afu and Gao walked to the boulder carrying the big basin, they heard several women on the other side talking loudly.
"...She didn't know that Mr. Chen would become the prefect. If she knew, not to mention that Mrs. Chen wanted to take a concubine for Mr. Chen, she would definitely be willing to let her be a concubine. How could she be willing to return to her parents' home and be so anxious to get married? people."
"Yes, you look so polite and polite, why are you so anxious to get married as soon as you return to your parents' home?"
"Then what else is there to say? You must be inseparable from a man. It's just that you found out after you got married that he is a useless man."
"You can't say that Chen Er is useless. As soon as Wang married in, wouldn't he have a child?"
A burst of laughter.
"Don't say that, it's not easy for the Wang family. As soon as she married into the Chen family, she worked early and late to earn money to treat a sick man named Chen Ming. He raised a pair of children, and his daughter was stupid and his son was lame. Oops, who else would it be? A weak woman who is greedy should not be hanged with a rope. "
"Then who is to blame? If she hadn't been in such a hurry to get married, Mr. Chen would have taken her back to the Chen family to enjoy her life. I heard that as soon as Mr. Chen returned to his hometown, he went to her natal family to find someone, but she had already married someone else. , Mr. Chen seems to be so sad. Tsk, she doesn’t have the life of Mrs. Gaoming..."
"She is a lady of the imperial family, but she looks poor and shabby..."
Chen Afu was not familiar with the villagers, and did not know who these people were. She was so angry that her chest almost exploded when she heard such discussions and slanders against Wang.
Wang was originally a victim, and she should be sympathized. But these two people praised Chen Shiying, who was high above them, and said that Wang was so unbearable. I couldn't do anything if I didn't hear it, but I couldn't ignore it if I heard it. It was just right to start with them, so that those people's mouths would accumulate some virtue.
Some people and some things cannot be solved by "civilization", but can only be solved by force.
She whispered to Gao, "Sister-in-law, please go to Gao Lizheng first, and then go to Tangyuan to tell them that I was bullied."
Chen Afu was not afraid of those women, but was afraid that their families would come together, and she and her family were no match for them.
Tangyuan was far away, and when their people came, she might have suffered a loss. So she had to find Gao Lizheng first, and he promised Luo Xiaoguanshi that he would protect his family.
Then she put the basin in her hand on the ground, straightened her clothes, tightened the belt around her waist and tied it into a knot, took out the wooden stick from the basin and went to the other side of the boulder.
Thank you for your reward and monthly ticket, thank you!
