Chapter 13, Standing or Not Standing
Looking up, Chen Yuan found that everyone was looking at her with contempt, contempt, or dissatisfaction because of Li Delong's words.
However, Chen Yuan didn't care about their scrutiny. She had already left Dumin Village and the Li family, so she no longer had to pretend to be deaf.
Once her deafness is cured, everyone will find out sooner or later that she wants to be a widower, and the fewer physical defects she has, the better.
When she chose to tell Li Renfu last night, she guessed that he might tell him. But if she didn't say anything last night, the consequences would be even greater. She didn't want the Li family to disgust her by thinking they were her benefactors.
You can tell by looking at Li Delong's attitude. If Li Renfu thought she could hear it because she took the medicine he gave her, Li Delong's attitude would be even more arrogant today.
Zeng Shuisheng, who was standing by, asked in surprise, "Can you hear me?"
His voice was filled with curiosity and no malice. Chen Yuan turned to look at him and nodded happily.
Zeng Shuisheng was puzzled, "Then why did you lie to us?"
Chen Yuan pointed to her mouth and shrugged.
"Oh, that's right. If you still can't speak, how can you tell us that you can hear?" Zeng Shuisheng patted his head in frustration.
As soon as he said these words, many people present also reacted.
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Delong quickly squeezed out of the crowd and came to Chen Yuan. He smiled at Zeng Shuisheng and said, "Zeng Yamen, thank you for taking care of my sister. Let me, my brother, take care of her personally. There are so many men, but she is the only one."
Girls still have to be protected by me."
Protect, protect what?
The men present were very dissatisfied with Li Delong's words, and they seemed to want to do something to his sister.
Chen Yuan knew that Li Delong did it on purpose, deliberately to disfavor her and make everyone hate her, thinking that she was a troublesome woman.
As expected, the crowd started to make a fuss, "Please persuade your sister to go back and get married. We are all grown men and we will not show mercy to her."
"I can still pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but you don't look at your sister's figure. If you close your eyes and touch it, I can't tell which is the front and which is the back. Which kind of fragrance do you want me to pity?
"
"Hey, brother, what you said is wrong. No matter how flat it is, you can still touch it from the front, but it is different from the front and back."
A man who looked like a butcher, with an evil smile on his face, stretched out his hands and made a light twisting motion, "I just thought I touched a man!"
The crowd burst into laughter because of these words.
However, the target of everyone's ridicule had a calm face, as if he was not affected at all.
"She really can't hear it, right? Otherwise, why didn't she respond?"
"Maybe I'm young and don't understand this yet."
"Maybe the deafness comes and goes?"
"How to say?"
An insider from Dumin Village said, "She has been deaf and mute for more than two years. Her family was ordered not to practice medicine. When she was sick, her family did not dare to treat her. She managed to heal her deafness by herself, and the good times and bad times were good.
It's possible."
Others on the sidelines didn't believe it, "Didn't her brother say that she was pretending to be pitiful so that Bantou Yu could pity her? Maybe she was pretending to be deaf and mute at home so she could avoid working."
"Pretending to be weak has always been a woman's specialty."
"If pretending to be pitiful can make me a fool, I wish I could become a woman, hehe..."
Li Delong was very satisfied with the current scene. What a woman cares about most is her reputation. With so many men talking about her, let's see how much face Chen Yuan has left here.
Liu Yanchun glanced at Li Delong, and suddenly laughed in the crowd, "There is no good in pretending to be deaf and mute at home. She does the hardest and most tiring work in their family. She can cut an acre of rice by herself in a day."
, her two brothers are useless, together they can’t even cut an acre of rice, they are not as good as this deaf-mute sister, hahaha.”
Li Delong didn't expect Liu Yanchun to dismantle him in public, "Liu Yanchun, if you speak for my sister like this, don't you like her? I will write to my parents in a while and ask them to go to your house to say goodbye!"
Not only Li Delong didn't expect, but Chen Yuan also didn't expect Liu Yanchun, a dandy, to speak for her.
But he saw Liu Yanchun trembling all over, "Hey, hey, you can insult my personality, but you can't insult my aesthetics. Don't you know what your sister looks like? Your sister can't get married, so don't
If you want to dump her, I would rather help those poor beauties in brothels, and I won't touch your sister."
"..."
Sure enough, she thought too much. A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and a dude won't defend an ugly girl.
The people around burst into laughter again.
I woke up early in the morning and saw this joke, which woke everyone up from their drowsiness.
Li Delong was not in a good mood. He was happy that others eliminated Chen Yuan, but Liu Yanchun always said that Chen Yuan was his sister, so he was not happy.
Chen Yuan stood outside the crowd with a dull face, calm and calm, as if their discussion had nothing to do with her.
Some people looked at her laughing and joking, while some people stared at her for a long time without noticing her frowning, so they felt bored.
Chen Yuan has a good attitude and won't die if someone talks to her. Bantou Yu agreed to give her a try, not because she was pretending to be pitiful, but because she showed her ability.
No matter what Li Renfu said to Li Delong, Li Delong would punish her.
This is ancient times. Her physical defects and her identity as a woman will become the reasons for these competitors to attack her, laugh at her, and exclude her.
So, there is no difference, it is all expected.
She gradually turned everyone's teasing into a backdrop and observed her surroundings intently...
At this time, an old man with white hair and a stooped waist was supported by Bantou Yu and walked over. Next to them were two other men dressed similarly to Bantou Yu.
The collars and cuffs of their soap coats are red, unlike the blue of ordinary government officials.
So these two people should be the leaders of the Zao class and the Zhuang class.
The only difference between them lies in their belts.
When everyone saw them coming, they didn't dare to play anymore and quickly stood in a pile, facing the direction of the visitors.
Chen Yuan was very self-aware and did not blend into their crowd. She just found the frontmost seat on the left and stood there.
The class leader with a scar on his upper lip frowned when he saw everyone standing in an awkward position, "Look at how you are standing!"
He glanced around the crowd and pointed at the shortest Chen Yuan, "You guys, none of you can stand up straight and well as a little girl! Stand along her, to the right, and backward from short to tall.
Stop, there are 6 people standing in the first row, please assign them to me soon, I will count to thirty times, if anyone still can’t find their place, get out of here immediately!”
This feeling is quite similar to the sense of déjà vu during military training.
But it was also within Chen Yuan's expectation.
Except for Chen Yuan, the crowd behind him jumped around like a spoonful of water was poured into a hot oil pan.
There are only a few people like Li Delong and Liu Yanchun who don't care about their job and are pushed out by their families.
Most of the people who came here were originally from humble backgrounds, but they still cared about this business where they could work until they were old and make money without having to do corvee labor without making any mistakes.
Everyone was running around in a mess, bumping around like headless flies.
Comparing the heights of the people around them, the short ones stood forward and the tall ones stood back. Some people constantly found that they were standing in the wrong position, and randomly pulled others and stuffed themselves in.
Zeng Wuzuo seemed to be used to such a scene. Even though he urgently needed to find a Wuzuo apprentice to take over, he didn't look anxious at this moment and even started chatting with the class leaders.
