The word "pity" just flashed through Meng Li's mind, but as soon as she saw the man's appearance clearly, these two words changed into: "Pretending again."
Yes, this person is Zhang Qiaoer.
"Brother Lu Mu, I, my legs and feet are sprained and I can't walk. Can you help me?"
Before Lu Mu spoke, Meng Li smiled.
"Tell me how I can help you."
"I, can you carry me home -"
Meng Li raised her eyebrows: "As an unmarried woman, asking a married man to carry you, will this cause misunderstanding?"
Zhang Qiaoer's face was even more aggrieved: "Sister Meng Li, I didn't think so much. Don't misunderstand me. The reason why I chose to ask Brother Lu Mu to help me is because I believe in his character. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't." rest assured."
"If it were anyone else, why wouldn't you be worried? It means that all the men in this village are lustful and immoral." Meng Li said loudly: "I see that the villagers usually help each other. All of them are good, but you beat the men in our village to death with just one stick. Please feel your conscience, is that right?"
There were a lot of people here, and soon some people gathered around, several of them were men, and their faces were not very good-looking.
Zhang Qiaoer had been sitting here for a while, and nothing happened. Everyone thought she was resting and did not bother her.
Who would have thought that when she saw Lu Mu, she immediately became miserable and looked extremely fragile.
Zhang Qiaoer immediately became anxious when she saw that the villagers looked at her in a wrong way.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't think so, I just - I sprained my front a little, and thought it wouldn't matter, so I was going to rest here for a while, but the more I rested, the more the pain became. I happened to see Brother Lu Mu, so I begged him for help. "
"Just now, I chose Lu Mu because of his character, and now I just happened to see it. You are treating the villagers as fools. Everyone is warm-hearted. As long as you come and yell, even if it is inconvenient for men, they will put you on a stretcher. It's better for you to carry it back. If you praise Lu Mu, you will step on others. Even though I am Lu Mu's wife, I will not disregard the feelings of the villagers for him."
Meng Li is right and strict in his words.
In this way, the onlookers' feelings towards Zhang Qiaoer and Meng Li formed a sharp contrast.
A person who looks soft and frail on the outside, charming and charming, makes people feel pity for her, but unexpectedly, she has such a prejudice against the people in the village.
One seems to be more fierce and aggressive, but every word is reasonable, and he has a tough mouth and a soft heart, thinking about the people in the village.
"Besides, you specifically singled out Lu Mu because you probably didn't have any thoughts about Lu Mu, a married woman. You are still a young lady, and now you are at the age where you are gossiping about others. Don't ruin your reputation."
Meng Li said earnestly again.
More and more people came to watch the excitement, and everyone looked at Zhang Qiaoer with even more strange eyes, filled with contempt and disgust.
Thinking back to the past, she was also obsessed with Lu Mu and made some extraordinary moves.
Someone frowned.
"Zhang Qiao'er, Lu Mu is already married. You should restrain yourself. The couple is living a good life. If you insist on causing damage, no one will want it like this."
"You are thinking about Lu Mu, and you said that the people in the village are not good, and that none of the young people in the village are good enough for you. You are wrong. Who will dare to want you in the future?"
In fact, the last time everyone was worried about Meng Li's safety and went to the town, Zhang Qiaoer's words and deeds had already made some young people dissatisfied. Everyone has not forgotten that incident, and she did it again.
In this way, everyone's beautiful fantasies about her are not much left, and they are more disgusted.
"You guys, you are going too far. I just have limited legs and feet and need help. I just said a nice word."
"Meng Li, when did I say that I wanted to rob Lu Mu from you? You're fanning the flames like this." Zhang Qiaoer stared at Meng Li bitterly, her face flushed and her eyes full of anger.
"Have you forgotten so soon? You Zhang family found the second roommate of our Meng family and proposed to exchange marriages."
Meng Li was thinking about when this matter would be revealed.
Now is your chance.
"Changing marriages, what's going on?" Someone asked in surprise when they heard something was wrong.
Zhang Qiaoer's expression suddenly changed.
"It's nothing, Meng Li, don't talk nonsense, my legs and feet are healed, I'll go back first."
As she spoke, she stood up holding her knees, deliberately pretending to be limping.
"I will tell you when you go back," Meng Li said, "in case you Zhang family members don't know how to restrain themselves again and again."
"It's Zhang Youcai, the eldest eldest brother of the Zhang family, who wants to ask Qi Xiaoying, the third eldest brother of the Qi family. It just so happens that my second brother is also asking for Qi Xiaoying, so the Zhang family proposed that Lu Mu and I make peace so that their family will not compete with ours. It’s Qi Xiaoying.”
The people in the village were all in disbelief after hearing this. What kind of heart could someone think of such a bad idea?
"Girl Li, is everything you said true?"
"This is the original truth." Meng Li said.
At this time, the faces of the villagers were full of disgust, because they felt it was a bit bizarre, and the atmosphere became silent.
Some people couldn't help but sneer: "I didn't expect that there would be such a despicable family in our village. It really opened my eyes."
"Yeah, I really can't believe that the Zhang family has trained a scholar, but he is so incompetent. If such a person becomes an official in the future, how can he benefit the people?"
"It benefits the people. It's good if it doesn't cause harm."
Meng Li pondered, this dynasty's scientific examinations were carried out in parallel with the filial piety and integrity system. The village chief and the famous elders in the village would judge the moral character of the students who passed the examination.
With the way the Zhang family behaves, even if Zhang Youcai is admitted to the Juren Examination, it will still be a difficult process.
Zhang Laowu and Zhang Qiaoer are looking for someone to harm her, and the eldest member of the Zhang family wants to use his status as a scholar to force someone to marry him. It's strange that she makes life easier for this kind of family.
The third child of the Qi family didn't know when he appeared in the crowd. When he heard the news, his face was extremely ugly.
He didn't say anything and went back home.
Zhang Qiaoer's face was pale. The Zhang family still hoped that Zhang Youcai would be promoted to an official position and bring a family of chickens and dogs to heaven. Even if she couldn't marry Lu Mu, she would still be able to find a good family. But Meng Li exposed this matter. Brother, things won’t go well in the future.
She was so angry and resentful that she clenched her palm tightly with her fingers, and she didn't even know it was bleeding.
"Don't believe Meng Li, she is talking nonsense. Without this, it would be impossible for our Zhang family to do such a thing."
Zhang Qiaoer fell to the ground, with tears on his face and trembling all over.
"Our Zhang family did nothing. We are wronged. We are really wronged. Meng Li, today in broad daylight, you made false accusations and insulted the reputation of our Zhang family. Do you want me to die in front of you?"
