Early in the morning, the entire Nanluoguxiang Alley was abuzz with gossip, saying that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi were having an affair.
Zheng Dama knew about this, which was why she divorced Yi Zhonghai.
Zheng Dama was stunned as she went out to empty the chamber pot.
Everything seemed normal last night, why was it all over the place this early in the morning…
Old Yi and Jia Zhangshi having an affair? Impossible!
It must be some kind of rumor!
“Could it be the woman Old Lady introduced to Old Yi last night?” Zheng Dama thought.
She had heard that Jia Zhangshi had wanted to wash clothes for Yi Zhonghai last night.
At the time, Yi Zhonghai was on a blind date with Zhen Dahua, but Jia Zhangshi wanted to wash clothes for Yi Zhonghai. What was she up to? It was obvious.
Misunderstanding?
Since Qin Huaiyu married into the Jia family, has Jia Zhangshi ever washed clothes?
So, it was clear.
It was said that even the Old Lady was so angry she chased after Jia Zhangshi to beat her.
Maybe Zhen Dahua just started spreading rumors.
…
“It must be that Zhen Dahua, she’s slandering me.” Yi Zhonghai trembled with anger.
It's easy to spread rumors, but difficult to debunk them.
Actually, Yi Zhonghai was a little guilty, because he and Jia Zhangshi had a history.
Saying that he and Jia Zhangshi were having an affair wasn't completely unfounded.
At this moment, many people in the courtyard were looking at Yi Zhonghai with strange looks.
“Old Yi, many people outside are saying you’re having an affair with the old lady of the Jia family.” Liu Haizhong was delighted when he heard this.
Someone must be spreading rumors outside. It doesn’t really matter who, right? It’s most likely that Zhen Dahua, but it could be someone else.
“It’s that Zhen Dahua who’s stirring up trouble. What a vicious widow.” Yi Zhonghai was sure it was Zhen Dahua, and he was angry just thinking about it.
“Then you and the old lady…” Liu Haizhong hadn't finished speaking when Yi Zhonghai stared coldly at him.
“I’m definitely innocent. I still believe in your character, Old Yi. You wouldn't do something like having an affair.” Liu Haizhong said with a serious expression.
He’s acting this way in front of Yi Zhonghai. If someone asked him outside, he wouldn't say it like that.
Now, many people inside and outside the courtyard were talking about it.
It was a huge blow to Yi Zhonghai's reputation.
In this era, reputation is very important.
Yi Zhonghai being able to become the First Elder is partly because of his good reputation.
Therefore, if Yi Zhonghai’s reputation deteriorates, he wouldn't be able to maintain his position as First Elder.
This is what Liu Haizhong hopes for.
Liu Haizhong isn't satisfied with being the Second Elder, he wants to be the First Elder.
But in the eyes of his neighbors and the factory leaders, Liu Haizhong is not as good as Yi Zhonghai.
So, it’s not easy for Liu Haizhong to become the First Elder, it’s currently very difficult.
This time, Liu Haizhong sees an opportunity.
…
“It must be that stinky widow spreading rumors. She’s got a bad heart, and a filthy mouth. I'm going to tear her mouth apart… ”
Jia Zhangshi cursed loudly.
She still cares about her reputation. But now, many people inside and outside the courtyard are saying that she’s having an affair with Yi Zhonghai.
It’s a huge blow to her reputation.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was furious.
If it wasn't Zhen Dahua spreading rumors outside, who else could it be?
That shameless stinky widow, she deserves to have her child grow up without her.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huaiyu were also very angry.
However, besides being angry, Qin Huaiyu was also thinking carefully, could her mother-in-law and the First Elder really be secretly having an affair?
Thinking about it carefully, the First Elder is too good to Jia Dongxu. He’s also very good to Bang Geng.
Saying that the First Elder has a good relationship with Dongxu's father, and that Dongxu is the First Elder’s apprentice, seems a bit far-fetched.
Then, if the First Elder and her mother-in-law are secretly having an affair, it makes sense.
The First Mom insisted on divorcing the First Elder, it wasn’t just because of their differences in raising children! Maybe she discovered something. And…
Qin Huaiyu thought a lot in a short time.
“I said that the First Elder and Jia Dama should live together.” Sha Zhu said to his younger sister at this time.
However, Sha Zhu was standing at the door of his house talking to He Yu Shui, and his voice was a little too loud, so Jia Dongxu heard it. Qin Huaiyu also heard it. As did Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
Except for Qin Huaiyu and Liu Haizhong, the rest of them were glaring at Sha Zhu.
“Sha Zhu, what are you talking about?” Jia Dongxu said angrily.
“Old Lady, I'm going to tear your mouth apart.” Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes flashed with malice.
“Sha Zhu!” Yi Zhonghai didn't call him Zhuzi anymore, he just called him Sha Zhu.
Liu Haizhong, on the other hand, was watching with amusement. He even secretly gave Sha Zhu a thumbs up.
Qin Huaiyu frowned.
At this moment, Sha Zhu was also a little panicked. But if he backed down, he would lose face.
Jia Zhangshi rushed over, Sha Zhu dodged and successfully avoided her.
But Jia Dongxu came in front of Sha Zhu, and punched him.
Sha Zhu reacted quickly, pushed Jia Dongxu’s fist, and it changed direction, hitting Jia Zhangshi in the face.
That punch made Jia Zhangshi's mouth crooked.
Sha Zhu was even more panicked.
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened.
Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to criticize Sha Zhu, Liu Haizhong stopped him.
“Old Yi, I know you’re angry, but don’t get angry yet.”
Yi Zhonghai wanted to push Liu Haizhong away, but he couldn't.
Although the Second Elder was fat, he had a lot of muscle, and was still quite strong. It’s no surprise Yi Zhonghai couldn’t push him away.
“Sha Zhu, you dog.” Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth.
“Last night, Old Lady introduced a date to the First Elder, but Jia Dama wanted to wash clothes for the First Elder. Tell me, since Qin Jie married into the Jia family, has Jia Dama ever washed clothes? It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Sha Zhu’s logic is clear.
To be honest, what Sha Zhu said was true.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that before Qin Huaiyu married into the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi would still wash clothes. But after Qin Huaiyu married into the Jia family, and had a daughter-in-law, Jia Zhangshi never washed clothes again.
Last night, the First Elder was on a blind date, but Jia Zhangshi suddenly started washing clothes.
People outside are saying that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi are having an affair, is Jia Zhangshi really innocent?
“I…” Jia Zhangshi couldn't speak herself.
Thinking about it now, washing clothes last night was indeed a hasty decision.
“Old Yi, Sha Zhu makes a good point. You and the old lady are definitely not having an affair. But the old lady wanted to wash clothes for you last night. I think she’s interested in you. Why don’t you two give it a try… ” Liu Haizhong heard what Sha Zhu said, his eyes lit up, and he said to Yi Zhonghai with a smile.
“The First Elder has helped our family a lot, my mother-in-law is grateful to him, so she wanted to wash his clothes.” Qin Huaiyu explained at this time.
However, this explanation isn't very convincing!
Grateful to Yi Zhonghai?
I’ve never seen Jia Zhangshi wash clothes for Yi Zhonghai before! Oh, Yi Zhonghai is on a blind date, so Jia Zhangshi wants to wash clothes for Yi Zhonghai.
But Jia Zhangshi probably underestimated that Zhen widow.
In this era, there are few widows who are easy to deal with.
Jia Widow won’t let Zhen Widow have a good time. She’s got to pay the price.
If people think that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi’s relationship isn’t clean, they’ll spread rumors that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi are having an affair when they leave the courtyard.
The Old Lady came to the middle courtyard from the backyard. At this time, she also had a headache.
