Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Don’t Falsely Accuse Others_1

Recently, there’ve been quite a few things happening at Zhao Erhu’s house, so exciting that they’ve become the main gossip topic for the villagers during their idle time. So when Lin Yue showed up, she became the center of attention, and along the way, everyone was asking questions. Lin Yue is pretty easy-going, she answered everyone in a friendly and cheerful manner. Some people even inquired about what she was taking to the market to sell. Lin Yue didn’t conceal anything—after all, if you sell at the market, nosy people will find out eventually—so she briefly mentioned it and quickly changed the subject. No matter how much they asked, she wouldn’t reveal more.

Those with good intentions thought the family of Erhu were very amiable; they didn’t pry into matters Lin Yue preferred to keep private. Those with bad intentions, unable to pry any useful information from Lin Yue, hurriedly hatched nefarious plans, swiftly shifting their focus to Dalang.

“Oh, Erhu’s, you’re already taking Dalang, who’s still so young, to help you at the market? I’m not criticizing you, auntie, but even though Dalang isn’t your own flesh and blood, he’s still of the Zhao family’s lineage. Didn’t we hear before that you were quite good to Erhu’s kids? Now that Erhu is lying in bed, unconscious, how could you change like this? People should be straightforward, acting one way to someone’s face and another way behind their back is really sneaky.”

The fat woman’s accusatory tone was very displeasing to hear. It was Li Guihua, Zhao Er Gou’s wife, who hadn’t gotten along with Lin Yue when they shared the ox cart last time. Li Guihua didn’t only clash with Lin Yue; she always felt uncomfortable seeing others better off than her or living better lives, and couldn’t help but let the sour words slip out. She had only met Lin Yue once on the ox cart—what could their grudge be about? It was simply because she couldn’t stand seeing Erhu so affectionate towards his wife, treasuring a woman who was thin and frail, with hardly a bit of flesh on her bones—was it just because she was a bit prettier?

Most of the others on the ox cart also thought that Li Guihua’s words were a bit too much. And besides, it’s someone else’s family affairs, who are you to comment?

Dalang was already ten years old this year, and by the village standards, he was considered a big kid. His father was now badly injured and unconscious in bed—the boy ought to help out more at home. Which country child doesn’t? Besides, just look at how new and clean Dalang’s clothes are, and how neat and tidy he looks, his complexion also seems lively. Does he look like a child mistreated by a stepmother? Even one’s own kids might not be treated as well.

However, the villagers also knew what kind of person Li Guihua was, and most chose to ignore her, so as not to engage with this woman who acted as if she was always on edge. The few who wanted to say something didn’t know the Zhao family well enough to bother, and even Lin Yue herself couldn’t be bothered to engage with Li Guihua. Why lower herself to argue with someone who seemed to have a screw loose? As long as they didn’t cross her bottom line, she wouldn’t pay them any mind.

Chunxi might be introverted, but she had always gotten along well with Lin Yue and benefited a lot from her. Seeing Li Guihua maligning and falsely accusing Lin Yue, Chunxi could not stand by and watch. She had to speak up for Lin Yue, lest the villagers truly believe Lin Yue was a wicked stepmother.

“Auntie Li, what you’re saying isn’t right. Yueyue is not like that at all. She’s really good to the kids. Dalang wanted to go with Yueyue himself. It’s Yueyue’s blessing to have such a sensible young boy. Don’t go slandering people, thinking everyone is like you.”
