Before Ding Mei left, she instinctively looked at Gu Mingtang who was standing at the door. The woman was obviously smiling at her, but Ding Mei felt a chill on her back.
Zhou Shan was initially worried that someone would retaliate against Gu Mingtang, but found that the commune was very quiet.
Not even a call for accountability.
If you take a closer look, you will understand what these people are afraid of.
Since ancient times, ordinary people have been afraid of filing lawsuits, but Gu Mingtang was not afraid of either and went directly to the biggest leader in the county.
Facing such people, one can only afford to avoid them and stay away.
What's more, they are already at a loss.
This time Zhou Aijun and Qi Gang came together, one to give them a share of the tea eggs, and the other to get spiced melon seeds.
Four hundred and twenty yuan were divided between tea eggs, nine hundred yuan for spiced melon seeds, and money for watches, which cost two hundred and twenty yuan each. After deducting the commission for the two of them, Zhou Aijun gave Gu Mingtang one thousand nine hundred and eighty yuan.
The money for the watch was given separately, and Gu Mingtang accepted it quietly. Zhou Aijun and Qi Gang were both smart people and never asked unnecessary questions.
Such people are a joy to work with.
What's even more pleasant is that Gu Mingtang already has more than three thousand yuan in his hand.
Maybe after May Day, she can build a house.
Otherwise, her space would be stuck in front of the thatched house, which would be too unfair.
When Qi Gang and the others left, they also bought a dozen pheasants and rabbits from Gu Mingtang.
She has no shortage of these wild things, and her big freezer is already more than half filled.
But she still asked Zhou Aijun to buy beef, sheep and pork. After all, hunting in the mountains was not convenient, but she needed a lot of meat to upgrade the space.
Especially the meat that she had shared between space and her. Even if it was piled up in space, space would not take any cents from it. She could only find a way to get new ones.
Qi Gang and Zhou Aijun came in the evening. At Gu Mingtang's suggestion, they modified the carriage. They erected a one-meter-high movable baffle beside the carriage. What was inside could only be seen by lifting it up.
It also prevents villagers from gossiping after seeing it.
The carriage slowly drove away from Gu Mingtang's house, and Ma Dafeng's eyes flashed as he stood behind a wall.
That girl Gu Mingtang is so bad.
He actually told his wife that it was him that caused Li Huahua not to have a son.
He moved his hands several times, but was beaten by Li Hua instead.
Originally, I was living a happy life, I didn't care about anything, I still had someone to take care of me, and when things didn't go my way, I still had a punching bag.
But now it doesn't work anymore, that bitch Li Hua is so anxious that he can't beat her.
Going to vent your anger on Gu Mingtang?
This thought was shaken away by Ma Dafeng without even thinking about it.
What are you thinking about? Who dares to provoke that fierce woman like Gu Mingtang?
That was really filling.
But if I didn't say this, I would feel really uncomfortable.
As a result, people in the village spread the news that Gu Mingtang took advantage of Lu Liangzhou's absence, stole from men, and dragged Gu Mingli into it... Those words were too unpleasant to be heard.
There are a few women in the Lingxi Brigade who love to tell lies. For example, if Zhang San glances at Li Si, in less than a day, it will become Zhang San and Li Si have two children, and in a few days, it will become Zhang San. Abandoning his original wife and taking Li Siyuan away...
Whether it is true or false depends entirely on the mouth of the rumor maker.
Rumors are so powerful that they can drive people to death.
An older girl from Xiawa Village was told by the women in the village that they had kissed each other and hugged each other in the sorghum field just because she gave directions to a strange man on the road.
Then those women just stared at her belly, and some swore that she couldn't even walk properly, forcing this capable and filial girl to jump into the river.
Even after someone dies, they still don't stop.
The family eventually had to move away.
The first woman to spread a rumor, she just used her imagination to make up a rumor with her mouth.
Subsequently, those who spread the rumor continued to improve it.
But in the end, even if someone died, they were still unscathed, and they still enjoyed arranging the chores of the East, the West, and the West.
The news reached Lin Shulan's ears quickly, but Lin Shulan did not dare to find anyone to fight with.
He was worried that Lu Liangzhou would find out about this, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
But unexpectedly, this incident actually got worse and worse. Even people in the commune knew about it. Later, some people looked at Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan with sympathy.
Lu Hui knew what was going on and was not angry at all. He pulled his sister and said in a gloomy voice, "Just wait to welcome the anger from my mother, hum!"
Not only were those people not afraid, they also made the crowd laugh.
Aunt Six angrily explained that he was a friend of the Lu Liangzhou Corps, but everyone laughed. Some even said: Aunt Six, don’t you know, some men just like to take care of their friends’ wives, right? , and sister-in-law...
The angry Aunt Six started fighting with this woman.
However, it was of no use.
On the contrary, it is more difficult to be obedient.
This is why there is a saying: Rumors stop among the wise.
Later, Gu Mingtang knew that it was Ye Lan who told her.
Ye Lan too knows the power of rumors.
She worriedly said to Gu Mingtang, "Although you are not afraid of slanting shadows, this matter will affect the child. You'd better go to City A to hide. Also, take Lili with you and don't let her fall into the pool." The girl in the village can’t think of it like that…”
Gu Mingtang looked calm, thanked Ye Lan, and said nonchalantly, "We can't hide. If I leave, they will think I am guilty. I have my own way, just watch."
Ye Lan was worried at first, but looking at Gu Mingtang's expression, she suddenly remembered that this woman's psychological quality was not ordinary. Because of the incident with Lu Liangzhou, many people scolded her and despised her, but in the end this woman still survived. At ease.
Ye Lan felt that she had learned another thing from her, that is, being thick-skinned.
She smiled helplessly, and after walking a few steps, Gu Mingtang called out to her, "Ye Lan, study hard and come to me if you need anything."
Ye Lan waved her hand, "You are already worried about yourself, and you still worry about me."
But I'm glad you do that.
I want to learn from you.
Ye Lan thought that Gu Mingtang was treating her coldly and got through this with a thick skin. However, she didn't expect that Gu Mingtang walked out of the house and walked around the village. Finally, in front of a wall, three people were blocked and sunbathing on one side. A woman gossiping.
When they saw Gu Mingtang in person, they were a little embarrassed and immediately shut up. At the same time, they were a little worried because Gu Laoer had a bad temper.
Sure enough, Gu Mingtang walked up, grabbed Li Erniu, and asked with a smile, "Who did you listen to what you said just now?"
At the same time, his eyes were aimed at the other two people who were about to run.
He warned, "If you don't tell me who said it today, I will block your door and scold you."
"You dare?" Li Erniu shouted bluffingly.
At the same time, he struggled hard, but Gu Mingtang's hands were like iron pliers.
