The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 117 I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else

Changcheng, Nanluoyuan.

Women can keep secrets, especially women who like gossip.

Li Meihong's house was splashed with feces, but people did not stop talking about it just because the people from the street office left yesterday.

People in the front and back yards were all guessing who in Li Meihong's family had offended someone. Each of her family members was taken out individually for analysis by the people in the yard, and there were all kinds of versions of the story.

For those who really know who did it, it is very painful to keep this secret. Generally, in such a situation, there will be one result, which is "I will tell you a secret, you can't tell others, otherwise I will be miserable."

Zhou Lingying got up early in the morning as usual, picked up rotten vegetable leaves, cooked and washed clothes. But today was the day to take Jiang Changhe to the hospital again. She went to the hospital at around 8 o'clock and came back at almost 10 o'clock.

This time, when Zhou Lingying just entered the room, Zhang Yang's wife Xiao Li came.

"Lingying, I have something to ask you. Someone threw feces at Chen Li's house the night before yesterday. Some people said that you hired someone to do it. That can't be true." Xiao Li pulled Zhou Lingying and asked with concern.

Zhou Lingying was confused. Didn't the people from the street office find out anything yesterday? They thought the matter would be over in a few days. How come someone said she hired someone to do it just one day later?

"Sister Li, who told you that?" Zhou Lingying did not answer whether she did it or not, but wanted to know clearly how she was dragged into this.

But Xiao Li was an experienced person, and from Zhou Lingying's expression and inquiring tone, she knew it was almost certain that Zhou Lingying might have really done the feces-throwing thing.

To be honest, Xiao Li didn't believe the rumor at all when she heard it. Zhou Lingying's appearance was really deceptive. The first impression of people who saw her would be that she was a good girl, not the kind with bad intentions.

But throwing feces is not a bad thing from a moral point of view. At least it is different from petty theft.

"You were not here in the morning, and I heard it from others while I was washing clothes. More than one person said it was you who did it. Lingying, why did you throw feces on someone else in peace?" Xiao Li said. There was no need for Zhou Lingying to explain whether she did it or not. It would be pointless if Zhou Lingying insisted that she didn't do it.

"It was Chen Li's mother-in-law who said bad things about me to my mother-in-law, saying that I didn't know how to live. Last time we went to the vegetable market together, I told my mother-in-law about how I treated you to a one-cent popsicle. I was so angry that I asked someone to throw feces at her house, but I only wanted to throw some at her door, not on the windows."

Zhou Lingying was indeed not a good liar, so she confessed directly when faced with Xiao Li's questioning.

Xiao Li didn't expect the situation to be like this, but she also didn't expect Zhou Lingying to use this trick of throwing feces to deal with Li Meihong.

"You are such a bad person." Xiao Li pulled Zhou Lingying and joked, but then she thought about what she had done and it would probably spread soon, so she asked, "Chen Li's family will definitely hear about this, and they will probably come to trouble you."

"Go find her. Who told her to talk about me behind my back? At most I will apologize to them. I'm just afraid that my man will say something about me after he finds out." Zhou Lingying said.

When she was in her hometown, Zhou Lingying was not a good girl. She was a tomboy when she was young. She was naughty and mischievous. She started to grow long braids after she was ten years old. She was kind but not the kind who was easy to bully.

Xiao Li also nodded. Even if the street office came, they would just give Zhou Lingying a lecture and apologize to Li Meihong's family. Could they still lock Zhou Lingying up?

But once this matter spreads, I don’t know what will happen to her reputation in this courtyard.

The two chatted for a while, and then Xiao Li left. Zhou Lingying went directly to the side room to find her parents-in-law.

"Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something. I was the one who had manure thrown at Chen Li's house across the street. Aunt Li said something about me in front of Mom, and I got so angry that I asked someone to throw manure at her house. Now it seems that many people know that it was me who did it. If Chen Li's family finds out, they might come after me."

"What, Yingying, you hired someone to do the manure in her house."

Zhao Yuxia was also shocked when she heard her daughter-in-law suddenly admit that she was the one who threw feces at Li Meihong's house. The last time Zhao Yuxia reconciled with her daughter-in-law, she wanted to go to Li Meihong to talk about it, but was stopped by her daughter-in-law. But she never expected that her daughter-in-law would find someone to throw feces at someone else the next day.

Fortunately, Zhou Lingying is a woman, and if a woman uses such despicable tricks, at least she will not be condemned by too many people.

When a man encounters a problem, he usually goes straight to the door and either apologizes or starts fighting. If he uses the tactic of throwing feces, he will be said to be unmanly.

After Zhou Lingying nodded and admitted that she did it, Zhao Yuxia and Jiang Changhe still stood on her side. However, Zhao Yuxia also said a few words to Zhou Lingying, saying that throwing feces in the countryside was not very decent.

But since the splash has already been made, the most that can be done is to stop having any contact with her. Since Zhou Lingying can't scold her, Zhao Yuxia will take over.

Zhou Lingying was relieved after getting past her parents-in-law. Then she did what she had to do, but she was still a little upset, that was how the news of her hiring someone to throw feces on her was spread.

Zhou Lingying first thought of her next-door neighbor Wang Yuzhen, because she was the only one who knew the whole process, but she didn't think she was someone who would deliberately tell others.

Everything was peaceful throughout the morning until around five in the afternoon, when many people in the yard returned from get off work and several more people from the street office arrived.

In fact, Li Meihong's family had heard the rumor in the morning, but they were not sure that it was not Zhou Lingying who did it. If they came to her house with a large force to ask for an explanation, what if it was not her who did it?

So I waited for the man who was working in the afternoon to come back and told him about the situation.

Since you are not sure, just go to the street office, provide the information and let them investigate.

The people from the subdistrict office came and went directly to Jiang Cheng's house. Because they had a target for investigation, they asked Zhou Lingying directly whether she was the one who threw the feces.

Zhou Lingying didn't make any excuses and admitted it honestly.

Now that Li Meihong learned that Zhou Lingying had admitted it herself, she went straight to her house and started scolding her.

The insults were so nasty, all of which involved insults about women's private parts. In fact, women who have never had a man don't feel anything when they are insulted with some obscene words if they don't understand.

But Zhou Lingying had been with a man before, so she had a vivid memory of some words, such as "poke" and "wrong". She thought it was so ugly, and the other party cursed quickly, so Zhou Lingying could only hear some of these words, but not the others.

However, Zhao Yuxia also directly protected her daughter-in-law behind her. She said in front of everyone that Li Meihong had said bad things about her daughter-in-law in front of her before, and then she started to curse at Li Meihong.
