Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"She's so young and she's already working as a babysitter. Who knows what she's thinking?"

"I heard that the man is the director of the Mingzhu Garment Factory and he's very rich!"

"Oh my god, she looks so well-behaved, but I didn't expect her to be so shameless. If it were in the past, she would have been thrown into a pig cage."

"I'm just a babysitter, I'm not as dirty as you say, stop talking nonsense!"

"Tsk, you're the only one who believes this. Have you ever seen a nanny dressed so well? She's even accompanied by her employer when she goes out!"

The two of them packed up and prepared to go to a restaurant. However, as soon as they walked out of the doorway, they saw a lot of people sitting under the banyan tree outside the doorway. Today was a holiday, and not only Huo Ming was resting, but the residents of several buildings in the vicinity were also on holiday.

As soon as Shi Yan and her companions walked out of the doorway, they attracted the attention of those people who were chatting on holiday. All kinds of conversations, good and bad, came into Shi Yan's ears.

However, Shi Yan did not take these words to heart. This was not the first time she heard these people gossiping. It would not cause any harm to her. It was just jealousy.

But it was the first time that Huo Ming encountered such a thing. Hearing such harsh words, which were caused by him, Huo Ming did not even think that it was all because of his neighbors who were concerned about their reputation. Instead, he asked Shi Yan to stand there and wait for him, while he walked straight towards the people who were gossiping.

Seeing the parties approaching, they immediately shut up and looked embarrassed when they saw Huo Ming's expression.

"Xiao Huo, you should come out for a walk today too, haha."

The first person to speak was an old man, who smiled awkwardly, not daring to look Huo Ming in the eye. But surprisingly, Huo Ming did not show any anger, but responded with a faint smile.

"Yes, the weather is nice today, so I'm taking my girlfriend out for a walk. I finally have time to spend with her, so of course I can't stay at home. I'm taking her out to eat!"

"What, this girl is your girlfriend? Didn't you say she was your new nanny?" The old man finally became bolder after seeing that Huo Ming was acting very friendly.

"Who told you that? This is my girlfriend. Wasn't the nanny I hired before not suitable? My girlfriend was worried that I was too tired at work every day, so she came to take care of me. We both met our parents and were going to get married, so I saw that she was worried, so I let her move in."

"After all, the house I bought, although a little small, still has extra rooms, which is more than enough for my partner to live in."

"Oh, your house is still small. Yours is the largest apartment in our area. You still think it's too small. How big a house should you buy for your marriage?"

The old man suddenly went off the topic. These old guys have a whole family living in two rooms, while the young people think four rooms are too small.

"It depends on what my partner says. Anyway, I'd rather buy a bigger one than a smaller one. After all, our children will need a place to live in the future."

"By the way, uncle, I didn't come to you to talk about this. When I was at work two days ago, didn't you say that someone often threw garbage at your door? I happened to see it when I was throwing garbage the night before, and I also happened to know that person..."

At this point, Huo Ming paused for a moment. The old man, who had long wanted to know who always threw garbage at his doorstep, immediately became anxious.

"Who is it? Who is the shameless one? I will strip him!"

"Uncle, can you tell me who told you that my partner is a nanny? I need to find someone to clarify this, otherwise when I'm not at home, my partner will be misunderstood and suffer so much!"

The old man was stunned by the question and didn't say anything for a long time. Huo Ming didn't ask any more questions and pretended to leave.

Huo Ming had only taken two steps when he was stopped by the old man, who wanted to ask Huo Ming about the person who threw the garbage.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's easy to offend people if I say it out loud. Aren't you also unwilling to tell me who is spreading rumors about my partner?"

The old man looked a little embarrassed, then pulled Huo Ming aside.

"Xiao Huo, we didn't do anything intentional about your girlfriend. We just don't know you, so we don't know your family situation. But I wonder if your girlfriend has offended someone. After all, the news we know was told to us by a young girl, who also gave us money."

"This is the first time we have done something like this, but the girl knows your identity and your family situation, and she spoke in a very coherent manner, so we believe what she said."

"Later, she asked us to spread the news around the neighborhood so that your partner would feel guilty and leave. She said she was afraid that you would feel embarrassed if she told you in person. If your partner leaves on his own accord, you can stay away from people with ulterior motives."

"I thought it was not a good idea to do this, but the girl was crying and giving me money, and I was a soft-hearted person, so I agreed."

"Several people who were present at the time received the money, not just me."

The old man mentioned a few names of uncles and aunts who don’t have to go to work on weekdays, so that he wouldn’t have to bear the blame alone.

Huo Ming got the answer he wanted and said no more. He told the old man who threw the garbage and returned to Shi Yan.

"Brother Ming, are you okay?" Shi Yan has special abilities. Even if Huo Ming was pulled aside by the old man to talk, she still knew what the two were talking about.

"What can happen? These people are just idle. Once the welfare housing in the factory is built, we will move out and stop living here."

Shi Yan was stunned at first. She didn't expect Huo Ming to say that. The original owner didn't mention changing rooms for the quilt. The most important thing was that the house Huo Ming was living in now was bought not long ago.

"Brother Ming, are we really going to move? You haven't lived in this house for long, right?"

"Well, the environment here is not good. Anyone can come here. The welfare housing is occupied by people from the factory. No one dares to gossip about it."

"Ok."

............

Shi Yan and Huo Ming are getting along more and more harmoniously, but Chang Ya Shi is constantly in trouble.

Chang Ya Shi works at the radio station of Mingzhu Garment Factory. She got this job thanks to Huo Ming's relationship, but she is not really a professional. There are not many things to announce inside the garment factory. Most of the time, the announcers read the news and tell stories. They even have to write articles themselves when they don't have any material. So this job is not as simple as one might imagine.

Chang Yashi was not well educated and could not get into university, so she was brought to Guangzhou to work.

Although she didn't speak with an accent, she was not well educated and couldn't write any inspiring articles. In the past, because of Huo Ming's reputation, other people in the radio station didn't let her do this job. Now that they knew that the factory director had someone else and that Chang Ya Shi had been lying, no one was willing to support her anymore.
