After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Zhao Susu, who was threading a needle in the house, was startled when she heard her name, and the needle pierced her finger.

She hissed in pain, put down the clothes and needle and thread in her hands, and ran out in a hurry.

There was already a crowd of people gathered outside the door, all of them howling because of that shout.

Among these people, Zhao Susu saw several familiar faces.

The head of the village, Fan He, the village secretary and head of the household, and Li, the wife of Cao the butcher.

There were a few other people whom she didn't know, but they looked quite impressive, even more impressive than Fan He. Fan He was also very respectful when speaking in front of them.

When they saw Zhao Susu, the looks of Fan He and other people who knew her changed.

Before, she either wrapped herself tightly and wore patched clothes made of coarse cloth. Even though she had a pretty face, malnutrition and working in the fields made her dark and thin, with a dull complexion and lifeless eyes.

But now she lives a good life. She has grown some meat and no longer has to work in the fields exposed to the wind and sun. Her skin has become much whiter.

There seemed to be a glow on her face, and even light in her eyes.

Moreover, she was wearing a new plain dress. The style of the dress was good and it fitted her slim figure perfectly. She looked very beautiful in it.

It was like a different person, or like a person who was reborn.

Someone nearby was whispering, "What's going on? Such a big scene!"

Li stumbled forward and was about to pounce on Zhao Susu. Meng Yu appeared in front of Zhao Susu holding the little loach. She reached out and grabbed Li's collar, frowning and saying, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make trouble!"

Zhao Susu didn't know the other impressive people, but she did know that they were the headman and several clerks of Baiwu Town.

Li still wanted to rush forward, but strangely enough, she couldn't rush forward after being caught by such a little girl.

She opened her mouth and burst into tears, crying and shouting: "Zhao Susu, you can't be like this. Your husband ran away with someone, and you kidnapped my husband. Give me back my husband!"

The onlookers were in an uproar, and their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Zhao Susu:

"No way? She looks so honest, but she turns out to be a vixen?"

"Can't you just marry someone properly? Hanging out with a married man, ugh, that's immoral!"

"Haven't you heard? Her husband ran off with someone else, so she's lonely!"

"No matter how naughty you are, you can't seduce someone else's husband."

"Seeing how honest she is, I wanted to patronize her business in the future. Bah, I will never come again."

"How dare such a person open a shop in this town? Get the hell out of here!"

……

All kinds of voices filled the air. Zhao Susu's face turned pale. She was angry and furious. She shook her head: "I didn't, I didn't..."

She has always been socially anxious, and now she is a little better, but she is still tongue-tied and cannot defend herself at all.

Meng Yu was very angry.

Especially hearing the foul language and malicious speculations from those who were watching the fun.

She turned to the other side and said, "Uncle Pavilion Chief, Grandpa Village Chief, why did she wrongly accuse my mother?"

She was so short that almost no one noticed her until an angry child's voice was heard and everyone noticed the little child who was holding Li's clothes.

The pavilion chief was surprised for a moment, then he coughed lightly.

Mrs. Li was already crying and cursing: "It's this vixen. She must have run away with my husband. Otherwise, why did she come to the town when my husband disappeared?"

Butcher Cao did not go home the whole day.

Li was very angry. He didn't go to sell meat and didn't go home. He must have gone to bed with some seductress.

She was angry, but she was afraid that Cao the Butcher would beat people, so she could only hate and wait.

But after waiting for several days, Cao the Butcher did not come home. In the past, he used to take money to visit brothels in the county town, and he would come back after three days at most.

She suddenly panicked.

I went to Cao's house and asked around, but no one had seen him. Nor had I seen him selling meat in the town.

It's missing!

Li immediately thought of Cao the butcher following Zhao Susu. She ran to Zhao Susu's place and found that the small shabby house was locked. It seemed that he had not returned for several days.

The past of Meng Cheng running away with someone came to her mind, and her first reaction was that Cao the Butcher had eloped with Zhao Susu!

She immediately went to Fan He to cry.

Fan He didn't believe it at all. If Zhao Susu would elope with Cao Boping, why didn't she agree to marry him as a concubine? Why did she even hit her head against the wall and commit suicide to prove her innocence?

So he ignored it and just asked Li to look for more and ask relatives.

Naturally, nothing can be asked.

Someone from the village went to the town and saw Zhao Susu's shop. When he returned to the village and told about it, Li immediately felt that it was impossible for Zhao Susu to have the money to open a shop, and that the money must have been given by Cao the butcher.

Li didn't dare to say a word when facing Cao the Butcher, but she was much more aggressive than Zhao Susu, who was more gentle.

She went to Fan He again and claimed that if Fan He did not show up, she would go to the head of the pavilion. If the head of the pavilion did not help, she would go to the county magistrate.

How could Fan He be threatened by her? He didn't expect that she would really run to the town to complain to the head of the pavilion. The head of the pavilion sent someone to inform Fan He. Fan He cursed in his heart, but still hurried to the town with the village secretary and the head of the household to resolve the matter.

"My mother works in town. What does that have to do with your family?"

"How can it be okay? Everyone in the village knows how poor your family is. Look at her, what she's wearing, and this shop, where did they get it? They must have been bought with money from my husband."

Zhao Susu was ashamed and angry: "You, you are talking nonsense!"

Li was frantic: "Where is my husband? Where is he? Did he hide when he saw me coming? Husband, husband!"

Li was still trying to pounce on Zhao Susu, but Meng Yu pulled her hard and threw her to the ground.

"It's just me and my mother in this shop. Stop accusing others!"

Some people in the crowd were making malicious assumptions, but some were more reasonable: "This shop has been open for a few days, and there are only these two mothers here, no one else."

"Yes, on the day of the opening, a young man came with his entourage. Where did the man come from?"

"Haven't you heard? This shop was funded by the woman's husband, including the clothes she wears. Just because she doesn't have a man doesn't necessarily mean she has never had sex."

"Maybe he was afraid that the woman would come, so the man didn't show up first?"

"That makes sense. How can this girl be so cheap? Her husband ran off with someone else, and she insisted on letting other men run off with her! Will she die without a man?"

"She's just a bitch, she's just a slut. Look at her appearance, she can't stand hardship, it's normal for her to be with a man!"

……

Zhao Susu was filled with grievances. For the first time, she hated herself for being so tongue-tied. Those words stabbed into her heart like a knife. She turned pale, angry and furious, but she had no idea what to do. She wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but because of nervousness and anger, she couldn't say a word. She angrily said, "I said I didn't!"

Meng Yu was also furious. These people only knew how to follow what others said, and they had dirty minds. They thought others were dirty.

She shouted, "Grandpa Lizheng! Are you just going to watch?"
