“What I said is true. Think about it, Hengyang is a good man. He’s far better looking than a sick man like Zhao Jiangang. Besides, if I was really interested in him, would I kick him so hard that he became a eunuch?”
Her words were reasonable and well-founded, so everyone was convinced.
Zhou Hengyang had good personality and appearance. Everyone would give him a thumbs up!
Zhao Jiangang was not a match for him at all! He was a head shorter than Zhou Hengyang, as skinny as a dried shrimp, and his eyes were cloudy. Anyone could tell that he was up for no good.
“I didn’t say it before because of Zhao Jiangang’s aunt, matchmaker Zhao. If I offend Zhao Jiangang, his aunt will go around saying bad things about the young ladies and young men of Trinity village. Then, the young people of our village can’t get good partners. Because I always ignored Zhao Jiangang, he wanted to touch me last night. Fortunately, Hengyang came back and saved me. Don’t you think that he deserved it? I was kind enough that I didn’t kick him to death.”
These words caused a big commotion.
All of them had children in their families. When they heard it, they were all filled with righteous indignation. They rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat up Zhao Jiangang.
“Pfft! If he dares to come to Trinity Village again, I will beat him up.”
“Yes! I’ll beat him up too.”
“He’s too wicked. We should tell everyone about this scum and let everyone be on guard against him.”
In the countryside, people would check about their future in-laws before marriage even if he or she was introduced by relatives and friends. If someone talked bad about him or her, it would leave a big impact. Even if they knew it was fake, no one dared to take the risk.
What if it was true?
Wouldn’t they harm the daughters for the rest of their life?
With that, they would change their minds and stopped the marriage.
“I remember now. Someone mentioned matchmaker Zhao last night, so the village chief let Zhao Jiangang go. Village Chief must be afraid that
Matchmaker Zhao will spread rumors and talk bad about our young men in Trinity Village.”
The person who spoke was a young lady who was around last night. She had undoubtedly made people believe it even more.
Su Wen snickered in her heart and continued, “Not only that, but I also heard that Zhao Jiangang is a pervert.”
“Pervert?”
“How is he a pervert?”
“It’s quite scary.”
Su Wen lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “I’m telling you guys, please don’t tell anyone!”
All the people washing clothes by the river were gathered. Even shy young girls could not help but get curious. Zhao Lili, Sun Xiaocao, and Su Pingping who were not on good terms with Su Wen were attracted too.
Not to mention the others.
Sharing a common secret or hobby was the best way to get close to someone.
Now that everyone thought that Su Wen was alright, no one believed that she would fall for Zhao Jiangang.
“Have you heard of the strange things in the Plum Furrow?”
“What strange things?” “I’ve heard of it.’
“I’ve heard of it too.’
There were actually quite a number of people who knew about it. Those who did not know anxiously asked. Without waiting for Su Wen to answer, they started to talk at once.
“My cousin married in Plum Furrow. I heard that the women there often got their underwear stolen. However, they couldn’t catch the thief.. Tell me, why would one steal an underwear?”
