For several days, the Zhao family was in a state of gloom and gloom.
Neighbors and neighbors also had their own discussions behind the scenes. Although the Wang family did not talk about the divorce to the outside world, and Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang could not talk about it to the outside world, but many times, what people like to do the most is
It was just gossip. Someone saw the Wang family's oxcart, and then everyone saw that the Zhao family's father's expression became gloomy, and all kinds of rumors began to increase immediately.
As word spread, it turned out that Zhao Chengzhan died outside, so the Wang family withdrew their in-laws.
In fact, everyone knows that the news of Huang Tianjun's defeat in the Southern Wilderness has just spread. It is impossible to determine who died in the battle and who is okay.
But many times, adding insult to injury is the fault of some people. They are not afraid of the hardships of the people around them, but are afraid of the good lives of the people around them. Even if they are blood relatives, some people will deliberately step on you when you are down.
The more uncomfortable you are, the happier the other person will be.
This is the situation the Zhao family is facing now.
Because Zhao Cheng became a Taoist before and later became a general banner, the Zhao family's life was the best among the neighbors.
Because of this heavy status, although many people envied him, they did not dare to show it at all, for fear of retaliation.
Not daring to express it does not mean that it will disappear. On the contrary, it will continue to accumulate in the heart until the Zhao family shows weakness, and then it suddenly explodes.
Although these people did not have any evidence, they still deliberately imagined the worst case scenario, and especially, during the conversation, they deliberately increased the volume of their voices just to be heard by Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang.
In the evening, after eating, many people gathered in twos and threes on the alley corners, chatting about various things.
In the past, Zhao Xiang was also one of them, and chatting with those aunts was her rare entertainment.
Although what these people said were all clichés, and some stories they had heard a little bit and told over and over again eight hundred times, Zhao Xiang still enjoyed it.
It's just that Zhao Xiang hasn't gone out much in the past few days. However, even if the door is closed, Zhao Xiang can still hear a lot of chatter from outside through the crack in the door.
The loudest among them was Aunt Lin who lived nearby. This aunt usually took good care of her, even with a hint of flattery, but now, the other party was saying similar words over and over again.
At this moment, Zhao Xiang heard the harsh voice coming from outside the door: "That child Zhao Cheng is so pitiful. He died like this at such a young age. The most hateful thing is that the Wang family actually added insult to injury. The child just died."
, so he came over impatiently to break off the engagement, which is simply heartless and unjust..."
Aunt Lin was taking the trouble to condemn the Wang family for breaking off the engagement. On the surface, it sounded like she was speaking to the Zhao family, but in fact, Zhao Xiang knew that the other party was deliberately speaking loudly to him.
If she was really looking towards their father and daughter, she must have known that the news of the defeat had just come through, and there was no final conclusion at all about who would live and who would die.
But Aunt Lin still directly concluded the matter, her tone was very firm, and her voice was loud, as if she had seen everything with her own eyes, and her words were vivid and vivid.
At first, Zhao Xiang almost thought Aunt Lin was a good person, but after hearing similar words more often, she came to realize it.
This man seemed kind, but in fact he was filled with vicious hatred. He wanted Zhao Cheng to die and his family to be destroyed.
Of course, even if this kind of thing comes true, they will not get any benefit, but some people are born bad. The more unfortunate others are, the happier they will be...
However, even though he knew this, Zhao Xiang couldn't help but feel sour in his heart and his eyes were a little red when he thought of the other person's disguised appearance and his current face.
And those harsh sounds, like magic sounds, reminded her uncontrollably of the nightmare she had not long ago.
In the small room on the other side, Zhao Sheng was silent, just puffing and puffing on dry tobacco. He grew the tobacco leaves himself and then dried them in the sun. No matter the variety or the technique, they were not good, and the taste was naturally very bad.
, on weekdays, he would only take a few sips occasionally to refresh himself, but now, he does it continuously, and it seems that this is the only way to relieve some of the depression in his heart.
The harsh sound coming from his ears made him want to run out and tear out the mouths of those shrews, but he knew that the more he lost his composure, the prouder those people would be. In fact, this kind of thing was what they expected.
Looking forward to.
He can guarantee that once he loses his composure, there will definitely be a group of people who, in the name of doing his best, will forcibly hold him back, and then give him a bigger blow with words or even actions.
He has seen many similar things in his life.
In fact, those evil people must have been thinking darkly in a dark place. It would be best if they could force their father and daughter to die. This would make them feel satisfied.
Of course, on the surface, they would say that it was a pity for the Zhao family's father and daughter, who could not bear the blow of losing their relatives, and condemn this damn world.
He clearly remembered that when he was a blacksmith's apprentice, there was a woman in that area. Not long after she got married, her husband died. So soon, rumors started to spread that this woman was responsible for her husband's death.
, in the end, it even evolved to say that since this woman killed her husband and did not die for her husband, she was unfaithful. What's more, it even went so far as to say that this woman conspired with the adulterer to kill herself.
Husband, why not go with your husband?!
Those evil men deliberately said similar words loudly near the woman's home. After a while, one night, the woman hanged herself directly at home...
And Zhao Sheng, who had just become a blacksmith apprentice at the time, was still a child, but he knew that the woman was a very good person. She usually spoke in a soft voice and was kind to everyone, but like this
One of the people was directly forced to death.
This is not an isolated case. There are many places where if there are old people and their children die in an accident, the people around them will deliberately say something like, why are they still living when all their children are dead...
There are also people who are filial to their parents and are filial sons, and their families are harmonious and beautiful. However, the neighbors around them will deliberately avoid their children, gossip in front of the elderly, and talk about so-and-so from such and such a family. Why don't they die? They want to live and drag down their children...
…
Zhao Sheng has seen too many such things.
Although Zhao Sheng has not read any books, he knows that the power of words is very terrifying. If he is shaken, he will be finished.
