"Lingling, who did you hear this from?" Zhang Lanzhi’s face suddenly changed, looking sternly at Gu Lingling as she asked.
"I... I accidentally overheard when my aunt was talking to her sister-in-law from her family," Gu Lingling said hesitantly, pretending to be very scared.
"That damn Wang Meili, saying these things without being careful." Zhang Lanzhi was so angry she just spun around.
Gu Lingling believed that if Wang Meili were here, Zhang Lanzhi would definitely slap her across the face.
These words were obviously not said by Wang Meili, but she was being made to take the blame.
It was the only explanation Gu Lingling could think of after trying many other ways.
Otherwise, how could a little girl like her explain it to Zhang Lanzhi?
"Are these bad words?" Gu Lingling asked, puzzled, then suddenly seemed to remember something and covered her mouth in shock, "Aunt Lanzhi, we can’t let my Sister Jiajia marry that person."
"Gu Juan’s aunt said that my Sister Jiajia’s intended groom can’t get it up, saying my Sister Jiajia would be waiting to be widowed if she married him," Gu Lingling asked, confused, "Aunt Lanzhi, what does waiting to be widowed mean?"
"Kids shouldn’t ask so many questions," Zhang Lanzhi’s face turned incredibly dark, and she quickly covered Gu Lingling’s mouth, "Good child, you must not repeat these words to anyone, understood?"
Seeing Gu Lingling nod, she finally released her hand.
Looking again at the box of cookies on the table, no matter how she looked, it was offensive.
"Good child, did you hear how Juanzi’s aunt came to know this?" Zhang Lanzhi asked.
"Juanzi’s aunt’s mother from her own family told her," Gu Lingling saw Zhang Lanzhi’s interest had piqued, so she stopped talking and started eating cookies.
Wang Meili’s sister-in-law, Liu Cuihua’s mother used to be a shaman before liberation, always liking to trick people with mystic acts to make money. With Zhang Fulai having that illness, it was reasonable for the Zhang Family to seek her out.
Zhang Lanzhi seemed to think of this possibility too, her initial doubts now turning into certainty.
Do she and Wang Meili get along that badly? Wang Meili must be secretly joyful, no wonder she was so smug when seen at the village entrance the other day.
She was puzzled at that time, so this was the reason, secretly waiting to watch her humiliation.
Thinking of this made Zhang Lanzhi uncomfortable.
Regretting only seeing Zhang Fulai’s simplicity, and the family being workers, yet didn’t consider why with such good conditions, he wouldn’t find someone similar in the city, but instead chose their Jiajia.
"Lanzhi, Lanzhi, are you home?" Zhang Lanzhi was regretting when footsteps sounded ahead, "You better get to the village entrance, Zhou Hu’s wife and Wang Meili are fighting."
Zhou Hu’s wife is Zhang Lanzhi’s sister-in-law, Wang Qingmei.
"What? Why did they start fighting?" Zhang Lanzhi stood up from the stool and headed outside as she spoke.
"Wang Meili said a couple of words about Jiajia, Zhou Hu’s wife couldn’t take it, and the two began fighting, along with your Jiajia and Gu Juan joining in."
In any case, what a chaotic scene it was.
The village chief went to welcome the educated youth and hadn’t returned yet, others wanted to intervene but couldn’t, so they had to rush to find Zhang Lanzhi.
"Aunt Lanzhi, I’ll go with you." Upon hearing Wang Meili and Gu Juan were involved, Gu Lingling couldn’t miss this scene, "You should hurry ahead; I’m afraid my Sister Jiajia might be at a disadvantage."
Gu Lingling wasn’t sure about the combat prowess of Gu Jiajia and Wang Qingmei, but Gu Juan and Wang Meili’s scheming nature and fighting skills were undeniably strong.
Upon hearing Gu Lingling’s words, Zhang Lanzhi quickly ran outside.
