Chapter 104 - 104 104 Rumors

104: Chapter 104 Rumors 104: Chapter 104 Rumors Seriously, why didn’t they let their son go to high school too?

What’s the point of saving that money!

As the saying goes, ‘The tree that grows taller than the forest will be broken by the wind, and the person who stands out will be undermined by others.’ When someone is admired by others, there will be people who slander to put others down and elevate themselves.

Before long, rumors spread in the village that Bai Hong must be an indiscreet person.

Think about it, which innocent girl, who isn’t even married yet, would move into the boyfriend’s house?

And what kind of place is an electronics factory?

Men and women staying together all day, how could they not do something inappropriate?

A few months ago, Li Peiyou’s son called some young men in the village and bragged about how many female workers he had slept with at the factory.

How many people from that kind of place can remain innocent?

Wang Aifeng was increasingly appalled, thinking that the entire Guangdong Province was like a red-light district.

Her own son had also worked at an electronics factory for a few months.

Could he have been tainted by those girls too?

Just earlier that day, the villagers were envious of Niu Qiang for bringing home a wife, but now they looked down on him.

No matter how much money he made, did he bring back trash?

If they got married, wouldn’t she end up like Mrs.

Liu, fooling around every day?

By then, Niu Qiang’s reputation would be worse than his banknotes.

After hearing all this gossip, Wang Aifeng felt relieved that her son hadn’t brought home such a woman.

At home, she naturally shared the rumors she heard in town with Wu Youliang and his son, occasionally reminding Wu Youliang to stay away from Niu Qiang’s place.

As soon as Wu Xiaoyu heard this, he knew someone was maliciously slandering.

He knew enough about Bai Hong to know she wasn’t the type to casually mess around with people.

Besides, this is the modern era.

Living with a boyfriend is normal; the villagers are just narrow-minded.

Niu Qiang’s parents found Bai Hong not only obedient and cute but also hardworking.

She had just arrived and started helping with the cleaning, which made them delighted, feeling their son had found a gem.

But as soon as Niu Qiang’s mother wanted to brag about it at the door, she accidentally heard the gossip and felt depressed.

Bai Hong looked clean and sweet; she shouldn’t be that kind of person.

But she did work at an electronics factory in Guangdong Province.

Could it be that she had relationships with other men?

And how did she agree to come back to the village with Qiangzi?

Would a decent family let their daughter stay at someone else’s place so casually?

After all, she was an honest rural woman, with overly conservative thoughts, and couldn’t help but have wild imaginings after hearing the rumors.

Seeing that these people were making her son a joke, Zhao Xinqiao felt incredibly distressed.

But what was the use of arguing with them?

She wasn’t even clear about what type of person that girl was.

She had to go back home and ask her son thoroughly to find out.

Back at home, her son Niu Qiang was watching TV in the living room, with Bai Hong sitting beside him, helping him peel an apple while watching TV.

In Zhao Xinqiao’s view, Bai Hong’s behavior was extremely virtuous, not at all like the disreputable woman the village gossip suggested.

Just as Zhao Xinqiao was about to comfort herself to stop overthinking, she suddenly wondered if Bai Hong’s virtuous behavior was just an act.

She cleared her throat and said to her son, “Qiangzi, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you…”

Hearing this, Niu Qiang stood up, gently patted Bai Hong’s shoulder, and whispered, “You sit here and watch TV.

I’ll be right back!”

Bai Hong nodded without saying anything.

Her obedient demeanor made Zhao Xinqiao even more puzzled.

She then glared at Niu Manli sitting on the other side.

She and her son were going to talk privately.

What was this grown man doing staying alone with Bai Hong?

Niu Manli understood his wife’s meaning, quickly got up, and followed them to the bedroom, where Zhao Xinqiao hesitated, unsure how to start.

“Mom…

what’s wrong?

Why did you call me here?” Niu Qiang asked, perplexed, and Niu Manli was also confused.

Everything was fine just now; why the change in attitude?

Zhao Xinqiao gritted her teeth and sighed, then asked in a low voice, “Have you and her…

done it?”

Was she asking if he had slept with Bai Hong?

What was wrong with his mom asking such a question…

Before he could respond, Niu Manli shouted, “Is this…

is this something you should be asking?”

Zhao Xinqiao quickly covered his mouth, afraid that Bai Hong might hear, then continued, “I heard that the female workers in Guangdong Province’s factories are very loose.

Don’t bring home some rubbish!”

Hearing this, Niu Qiang got angry.

Where did his mother hear such gossip?

Sure, some female workers might be promiscuous, but most people are decent.

How could she generalize?

“Bai Hong is a good person; I know her well.

You don’t need to worry!” Niu Qiang said and was about to leave the room.

Zhao Xinqiao quickly stopped him, saying, “Keep your voice down!

Don’t let anyone hear you!

I’m doing this for your good, so you don’t get deceived!”

“And…

are you two sleeping separately tonight or together?”

Seeing his mother’s behavior, Niu Qiang knew she must have heard the village gossip.

With her conservative mindset, he didn’t know how to make her understand.

To prevent his mother from overthinking, they seemed bound to sleep separately tonight.

…

The sun was rising, the cicadas were chirping more intensely, and the entire village was up early.

Led by a few village elders, everyone went to the fields to harvest wheat.

Since Wu Xiaoyu had to deliver goods, he didn’t go to the fields to help with the harvest in the morning.

His cousins also avoided fieldwork as they were busy picking mushrooms.

However, picking mushrooms in the mountains is no easy task.

They had to squat and move around, but at least it made good money.

Although the mushrooms in the mountains were more abundant lately, the villagers could still find large patches to harvest.

Though the quantity was less than before, earning a hundred yuan in a morning was still quite good!

After helping pick the mushrooms, Wu Xiaoyu loaded them up and headed to town, while the others took a short rest at home before heading to the fields to harvest wheat.

Wu Xiaoyu had been delivering goods to the Holy Land Hotel for five days and had gotten to know the driver from the slaughterhouse quite well.

Delivering goods had become routine.

It took him less than an hour to deliver to two places in town.

He bought some breakfast and headed home while eating it.

Just as he reached the village entrance, he saw Niu Qiang and Bai Hong strolling by the smelly ditch.
