A car accident, our family of three crossed

The Mei couple went to the Rouge Shop to make trouble today, but they didn't get any benefits and were ridiculed by their daughter. They wanted to make some remarks that their daughter was unfilial so that public opinion could attack the other party.

Unexpectedly, Mei's action was quicker than theirs and she released the news. By the time they reacted, people outside were saying that the couple didn't care about their daughter's life or death. They knew that their daughter was divorced but still tried their best to seize her dowry.

Remarks like these spread throughout the streets and alleys. Whenever the Mei couple stepped out of their home, they could feel people pointing fingers at them. In the end, they didn't even dare to go out.

The news that Mei divorced and established a female household spread like wildfire. Some people said that she was smart and severed her ties with the Wan family in time, while others said that she was too selfish and abandoned her husband's family when they were in trouble in order to protect herself.

For a while, following the rumors about the Wan family, Mei became a new topic of conversation, a topic that people enjoyed after dinner. Others had mixed opinions about her, but Mei didn't care at all. She turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and lived a very comfortable life.

Zhou Ru has been coming to Shangtang Village to look for Song Ning recently, and she never comes empty-handed. She says she wants to learn cooking from Song Ning, and she even brings her own ingredients. Every time she comes to Shangtang Village, she tells Song Ning about the big things that happened in the city, or the things she thinks are interesting, and today is no exception.

When she came here two days ago, she brought the news that the Wan family was locked up in the jail. The Wan family was locked up in the morning, and before noon Song Ning learned the whole story from Zhou Ru. She also teased Zhou Ru that it was a pity that she didn't become a know-it-all who collected intelligence.

After hearing about the Wan family's experience, she sighed, thinking that they originally had no deep hatred with the Wan family. If Wan Baolu had not been greedy for beauty and pressed them step by step for the secret book that did not exist at all, perhaps it would not have evolved to this point.

Back then in the county jail, Wan Baolu's words of treasonous nature were publicly spoken because of Hang Shuheng's deliberate guidance. If Wan Baolu had not taken the initiative to provoke them, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later.

Today Zhou Ru came over and brought a box of hand ointment. It was bought for her by her father because he loved her. She was so happy that she had no place to put it and no one to share it with. She was almost suffocating.

"Sister Song, let me show you something." She took out the ointment she carried with her and applied some on Song Ning's palms. Then she applied it evenly on both palms. "What do you think of this ointment? After applying it, do your hands become much softer?"

"Yeah! It's good." Song Ning cooperated with her and rubbed the back of her hands and palms. In her previous life, what kind of skin care products had she not used?

This quality cannot be compared with that of later generations, but it is considered top-notch in this era. However, Song Ning feels that the taste is a bit too strong.

"My father brought it back for me." Zhou Ru covered her mouth and laughed, showing off. Thinking of the gift from her father when she returned home two days ago, she was so surprised. Every girl loves beauty, and this gift touched her heart.

"Oh, it's really enviable!" Song Ning joked with a smile.

Zhou Ru lost her mother when she was young and was raised in a mansion in the capital. Because her father was born out of wedlock, she was not welcomed, and she and her brother were often treated differently by adults in the mansion and bullied by their cousins. Later, her father could not bear to see them living under someone else's roof, so he took them with him and only went back to the mansion in the capital once a year at the end of the year.

After all, the father was a man. He could provide the siblings with a worry-free life, but he had little experience in taking care of children, so how could he know what the children would need at different ages? The siblings gradually developed independent personalities. When the elder brother was young, he chose to go out to study, leaving Zhou Ru and her father alone in the huge mansion. Her father was often so busy that he did not come home for ten days or half a month...

Thinking of his experiences from childhood to adulthood, he couldn't help but sigh, wondering if his father had not brought them with him and raised them in the capital, he didn't know what they would be raised into.

"What's wrong? You seemed very happy just now. Why are you sighing?" Song Ning asked when he saw her sighing.

"Hey, I just recalled some unpleasant experiences. Let's not talk about them." Zhou Ru's emotions came and went quickly. Holding the box of ointment, she smiled and exposed her father's shortcomings. "Song Ning, you don't know that my mother died when I was very young. My father was a rough and careless man who only cared about making money. How could he bother to think about what girls would like! He only gave me money and let me buy whatever I liked..."

Song Ning was also moved after hearing this. No wonder the little girl would be so happy when she suddenly received these girls' favorite toys from her father. This was really rare.

Talking about the origin of the ointment, Zhou Ru had to tell Song Ning about the interesting things that the people in the city had been talking about these past two days.

"Sister Song, do you know who sells this perfume?" She kept it a secret, and when Song Ning shook her head, she said, "It's Wan Baolu's wife. Her family is in the rouge and powder business, and her dowry included a rouge shop. It is said that the perfume sold in their shop may be one of the best in the city!"

Zhou Ru told Song Ning about the rumors she had heard about Mei in the past two days. She felt that Mei's life was miserable. Her mother died early, and her father was not only unreliable, but also tried his best to plot against her. Fortunately, Mei was very determined and used her own means to save the dowry left by her mother. Now she has escaped unscathed from the storm.

Just by listening to Zhou Ru's story, Song Ning admired this woman. In this era, most women adhered to the traditional concept of obeying their fathers at home, obeying their husbands after marriage, and obeying their sons after their husbands died. However, Mei was different from other women in the world. She was not afraid of the secular eyes and malicious evaluations, and lived freely and unrestrainedly. She did what many women in this era wanted to do but could not do and dared not do.

Song Ning thought that if they had the chance to meet, they might be able to become friends.

Zhou Ru had lunch at the Hang family before leaving. She had been going to the Hang family every few days, and everyone in the village knew that Song Ning was on good terms with the young lady from the city.

However, a small number of people had different ideas. As the saying goes, if your mind is dirty, everything you see is dirty. Gradually, some gossip began to spread in the village.
