Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: moirs of the Seventies (22)
“Sis, how is it?”
“Not bad.” It’s tastier than what I’ve had in the county. Speaking of which, Ling Jun’s cooking skills have always been quite good.
I’ve been eating here almost all the ti lately; apart from what I’ve brought, everything is cooked by Ling Jun.
Ling Jun’s father used to be a chef, the kind that traveled from village to village catering banquets.
If his parents hadn’t passed away, Ling Jun probably wouldn’t have turned into a little delinquent in the village.
Chuzheng asked him, “Interested in opening a shop?”
“Sis, are you kidding?” Ling Jun waved his hand, “What kind of shop could I open.”
“I’m not joking with you.”
A little brother who spends my money extravagantly is the only kind of little brother I want.
Otherwise, what would I need you for!
“…”
Ling Jun hesitated for a while, then tentatively asked, “Can I really?”
“With the current quality of life, yes.”
“But I don’t have any money…”
The stores in the county town are so expensive.
Plus, I’ve never run a shop.
Chuzheng confidently said, “I have.”
Ling Jun: “…”
Ling Jun, a bit expectant after what Chuzheng said, quickly started discussing with the neighbors, as young people tend to be impulsive.
Chuzheng turned to Wun Sheng, “Drink more soup.”
Wun Sheng shook his head.
“Are you full?”
He nodded.
Chuzheng gave him two candies, “Rember to brush your teeth later.”
While unwrapping the candy, Wun Sheng nodded, got up, and went out to sit in the courtyard, using the light from the house to look at the words Chuzheng had written.
After looking for a long ti, Wun Sheng finally folded the letter, placing it in the pocket on his chest.
After talking with Ling Jun, Chuzheng went inside to find Wun Sheng, but he was already lying down.
Chuzheng closed the door and walked to his side.
After a while, Chuzheng let go of him, “Didn’t I tell you to brush your teeth?”
“Ugh…”
Wun Sheng half-opened his eyes, “Stinky…?”
“It’s sweet,” Chuzheng said, “Cavities, hurry up.”
“Oh.”
Wun Sheng got up from the bed and went outside to brush his teeth.
As he reached the courtyard, he heard a commotion from the distant mountain.
The noise was loud, and everyone inside ca out. Chuzheng also walked to Wun Sheng’s side, placing her hand on his waist, looking towards the direction of the sound.
Soone curiously asked, “What’s happening?”
“I don’t know…”
“It’s so loud, especially up in the mountains, do you think they’re catching a thief?”
As the one involved, Ling Jun certainly knew what had happened over there.
–
Ling Jiaojiao was molested near the haystacks behind the village, just when a villager went to get hay as kindling and saw it.
Several other villagers happened to pass by, heard the commotion, and ran over, which is why the crowd was so big.
When Ling Jiaojiao was found, her clothes were disheveled, and a bit later, her reputation would have been ruined.
The person who molested Ling Jiaojiao ran away quickly, and the villagers didn’t catch him.
Ling Jiaojiao was sent back to the Ling Family.
Ling Shu was furious when he heard about this.
However, it was pitch dark at the ti, and nobody knew who the person molesting Ling Jiaojiao was.
After coming back, Ling Jiaojiao locked herself in the room, refusing to see anyone.
She couldn’t understand why the person who was supposed to et Ling i ended up at the place Xu Dawei had asked her to go.
Knowing her identity, the person still made a move on her…
Ling Jiaojiao couldn’t face anyone outside now.
Who knows what those villagers will say about her.
“Oh my, you don’t know, when we got there, we didn’t even hear her call. Maybe she was willing.”
“No way.”
“Who was that person?”
“Don’t know, couldn’t see clearly, ran too fast… If we caught him, he’d get skinned.”
“Last ti my husband went there, he also heard sothing, but when he looked around, he found nobody and thought he misheard.”
“Normally, Ling Jiaojiao seems so well-behaved, who knew she would do sothing so disgraceful.”
Such gossip spread around the village.
Soone even claid they saw Ling Jiaojiao with soone from the neighboring village.
Overall, the rumors grew increasingly nasty, making Ling Jiaojiao afraid to step out the door.
Zhang Xiaoping argued with people every day, causing chaos for a long ti.
“Jiaojiao, who was that person that day, do you know?”
“I don’t know, stop asking !”
Ling Jiaojiao cried out desperately, curling up under the covers.
Zhang Xiaoping reassured her, “Jiaojiao, it’s alright, nothing happened to you, right? It’s alright, it’s alright…”
“Alright? How is it alright? Look at how the people in the village talk about !!”
Do those villagers care about what actually happened to her?
They only know she was molested…
The nearby villages will find out quickly, and from now on, she’ll never be able to hold her head up high here.
Ling Jiaojiao had lost a lot of weight.
–
Crackling sounds in the early morning…
Ling Jiaojiao heard the noise and called Ling Feifei over, “What’s happening outside?”
“Ling i’s getting married.” Ling Feifei replied while eating the wedding candies, “Sis, do you want to go see?”
Ling Jiaojiao’s expression changed drastically, “Get lost!”
Ling Feifei was shoved out the door by Ling Jiaojiao.
The little chubby boy stumbled, dropping the wedding candies all over the floor.
He was stunned for a mont, then burst into tears.
“What’s wrong, what happened?”
“She pushed !!” Ling Feifei complained to Zhang Xiaoping.
Between Ling Jiaojiao and Ling Feifei, if she had to choose, Zhang Xiaoping would obviously choose Ling Feifei.
“Jiaojiao, why would you push your brother?”
Ling Jiaojiao slamd the door shut.
“Ling Jiaojiao!!”
Zhang Xiaoping shouted angrily.
Ling Jiaojiao covered herself with the blanket, but the noise from outside kept coming.
Now, clearly, Ling i should be the one hiding at ho…
Why can she get married so grandly now?
Ling Jiaojiao seed to have thought of sothing, she got up to change her clothes, and while everyone was at Ling i’s house, she quickly went in another direction.
“Dawei… Dawei!!”
Ling Jiaojiao hid in a dark place, calling Xu Dawei in a low voice.
“Jiaojiao?”
Xu Dawei hurriedly ran over from the other side, pulling Ling Jiaojiao into a corner.
“Are you… okay?”
Ling Jiaojiao seed to have grabbed her last hope, “Dawei, believe , nothing happened that day.”
“Jiaojiao, don’t worry, I believe you, but…”
His belief wouldn’t change the fact that now the whole village knew.
“Dawei, please go to my house and propose.” Ling Jiaojiao anxiously said, “I don’t want anything, just to marry you.”
“…”
Xu Dawei’s hesitation was obvious.
If he marries Ling Jiaojiao now, wouldn’t the whole village laugh at him?
“Jiaojiao, this can’t be rushed.” Xu Dawei racked his brains for a reason, “Everyone will forget about it soon, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
“Dawei…”
“I have sothing else to do, I’ll talk to you later.”
Xu Dawei broke away from Ling Jiaojiao, leaving hastily.
“Xu Dawei!!!”
Ling Jiaojiao didn’t dare to chase after him, fearing she’d be seen by soone. She could only watch helplessly as Xu Dawei left.
