As expected, the affair between Widow Zhang and I had spread throughout the two villages in a short period of time, and even people in Shuanglong Township knew about it.
So much so that Lao Deng seemed to have some opinions about me and didn't even look at me.
I understand that although Lao Deng didn't think that he and Zhang Chunlan would be able to get married, I personally proposed to marry him a few days ago.
As a result, Lao Deng would definitely feel uncomfortable if something like this happened.
I had to call him aside alone, handed him a cigarette, and said to him: "Old Deng, I know you have heard those rumors, but Old Deng, do you really believe it?"
Lao Deng said nothing and didn't even take the cigarette I handed him.
I sighed again and said: "Old Deng, you know me well. The last time I went to Zhang Chunlan's house, I went out of my way to say hello to you. Even yesterday, Zhang Chunlan asked me to discuss opening a farmhouse in their village.
Those people saw it and spread rumors."
Lao Deng said in a deep voice: "Da Shan, you don't need to explain this to me, because Zhang Chunlan and I have nothing to do with each other."
I felt helpless and said: "Old Deng! Why don't you believe me? How could I have anything to do with Sister Zhang? This is all nonsense."
"Well, I understand."
Judging from his attitude, I think he is still stubborn. That's what Lao Deng is like. He is sure of one thing.
This is his shortcoming. Everyone has shortcomings. Lao Deng, who is usually honest and arrogant, has a shortcoming.
I didn't want to explain more about this matter because I really don't have that time.
But now it seems that it is really necessary to explain, so I had to go to Zhang Chunlan's house again.
As a result, she closed the door tightly. She probably heard the rumors and was too embarrassed to see anyone.
Although Zhang Chunlan is a widow, she is very virtuous and has never been ambiguous with anyone.
Now that these rumors are spreading all over the world, she must be feeling very sad because after all, she is also one of the victims.
I walked to her door, knocked on the door, and shouted to her: "Sister Zhang, it's me, Dashan."
Zhang Chunlan's voice soon came from inside: "Why are you here?"
"Sister Zhang, please open the door for me. I have something to tell you."
"Stop coming. Didn't you hear what those people said?"
"That's why I'm here. I think we need to explain, otherwise we will all be embarrassed."
"How to explain! They don't listen to anything I say."
I understand it so well, even if I tell them it’s nothing, they don’t believe it.
I sighed heavily and continued: "Sister Zhang, you have to face everything. Let's explain it together. We will definitely be able to explain it clearly. You believe me."
There was no more sound coming from inside, and after a while, the door opened.
"Come in." Zhang Chunlan stood inside the door and quietly shouted to me.
I didn't feel guilty and walked in directly.
After I entered, Zhang Chunlan turned around and closed the door.
I stopped her and said, "Sister Zhang, don't be like this! The more you act like this, the more others will think there is something wrong with us."
After hearing what I said, Zhang Chunlan put down her hands and said with an aggrieved look: "Then what should we do now?"
"Let's go out and say it, don't stay in the house."
"Then when others see it, they will start gossiping again."
"Let them say that we are doing the right thing and we cannot escape this matter."
Zhang Chunlan then followed me to the yard outside. I was not afraid of being seen, because this matter had to come to an end.
Zhang Chunlan still looked a little nervous and said to me: "Da Shan, I'm sorry! I've hurt you too."
I smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go and explain this together."
"How to explain?"
"I'll call everyone here later and we'll make it clear together."
"Can it be done?"
"Believe me, escaping will not solve the problem. We have to face the problem and solve it."
My determination seemed to give her confidence, and she immediately nodded and said to me, "Okay, I'll go with you."
I took Zhang Chunlan directly to the fields and asked Cheng Xiaohu to notify some loud-mouthed villagers in the two villages.
Lao Deng also saw me bringing Zhang Chunlan to the field. He stood at the back and said nothing.
Until everyone came to the field one after another and saw Zhang Chunlan and I standing together, they all acted very surprised, as if they didn't expect that we would stand together openly.
After everyone had arrived, I spoke loudly: "I heard some rumors about something that Sister Zhang Chunlan and I have, and I called you here just to explain it to you."
After I finished speaking, someone asked me: "Da Shan, are you really with Widow Zhang? In fact, it doesn't matter. You are single and Widow Zhang has not remarried. This is quite appropriate."
I glanced at Lao Deng standing in the corner. He lowered his head and seemed ready to leave.
I spoke again: "You people like to have random thoughts. I went to Sister Zhang Chunlan's house twice, but we didn't have anything. At the same time, I also hope that people who see Sister Zhang and I will stand up and say something fair.
Is Sister Zhang outside in the yard?"
After I finished speaking, Zhang Chunlan answered: "Let me tell you a few words. The first time Dashan came to my house was to marry Deng Xiangjun, and I said I would think about it; the second time I asked Dashan to come, and he
Don’t I want to develop tourism? I just thought about whether I could start a farmhouse business, that’s all.”
After Zhang Chunlan finished speaking, everyone started talking.
I looked at Lao Deng and saw his back gradually leaving the crowd. He must be very embarrassed at this moment.
I didn't expect that things would develop like this. I guess Lao Deng will have opinions on me in the future.
But at this moment, Zhang Chunlan suddenly said again: "Actually, I have thought about it very clearly. Deng Xiangjun is a very honest person and a decent person. He is just a little poor. But I believe that we will live a good life together if we work together in the future."
of the day.”
I didn't expect that Zhang Chunlan would say this in front of so many people. This undoubtedly told everyone that she had carefully considered being with Lao Deng.
Although Lao Deng had already left, he had not gone far. He obviously heard Zhang Chunlan's words and stopped in his tracks.
Everyone was talking more, and Zhang Chunlan continued: "I have decided now. If Deng Xiangjun doesn't dislike me for taking care of a child and dying of a man, I am willing to live with him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Lao Deng.
Some villagers even shouted to him: "Old Deng, why did you slip away! Come back quickly, good things will happen!"
I also shouted to him: "Old Deng, come back quickly."
Zhang Chunlan also looked at him with a smile.
After Lao Deng was stunned for a long time, he finally turned around and smiled at everyone.
That's what he is like, he can't speak and just keeps giggling.
Someone said: "Old Deng and Zhang Chunlan have expressed their opinions, so you should also express your opinions."
Zhang Chunlan still looked at him intently, but Lao Deng couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
I walked over directly, pulled him over, and stood with Zhang Chunlan.
