Chapter 389: Excusing Chen Jiaojiao
Chapter 389: Excusing Chen Jiaojiao
It felt like everyone was teasing him, with those strange looks and the occasional words, plus Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao laughing at him from time to time, so Zheng Pengcheng no longer had the energy to observe the people who came to the dam to dry the sun and specifically bicker with the two of them.
It was also at this time that Liu Jingxue mingled with the villagers and entered the drying dam.
As soon as I came in, the villagers filled my ears with gossip.
Liu Jingxue felt a little sorry for Chen Jiaojiao. She originally just wanted to hurt her and ruin Zheng Pengcheng's plan.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Pengcheng hugged and kissed her.
She let them kiss for a little longer, so that the gossip about her and Zheng Pengcheng could spread more widely.
After the villagers told her what Zhao Junhao said, she quickly used this as an excuse to defend Chen Jiaojiao.
"I think Zhao Zhiqing is right. Chen Zhiqing is indeed innocent of what happened yesterday.
She is just a little girl, and when she encounters such a thing, and Zheng Zhiqing has this attitude, she doesn't know how worried she will be.
If she gets upset about this, then both Zheng Zhiqing and us who gossiped about her will be guilty of a great crime."
"That shouldn't be the case. She wouldn't be so depressed. It wasn't her who took the initiative. The culprit is Zheng Zhiqing." An aunt said hesitantly.
Liu Jingxue felt that since she had certain responsibilities, it was necessary to eliminate some troubles. You know, rumors can kill people, and in this era, a woman's reputation is still taken very seriously.
She couldn't help but secretly make hand gestures and cast spells to make those who heard her words, or those who had heard others repeat her words, extremely convinced and follow her words.
"Since ancient times, if something like this happens, the ones who suffer the most are us female comrades.
As women, you all know how important reputation is to us female comrades.
If the villagers talked about it too much and spread it, Chen Zhiqing's reputation would be ruined, and Zheng Zhiqing would obviously not take responsibility, so Chen Zhiqing might do something stupid.
Aunties and aunties are well-informed and should have heard of this kind of thing."
"That's right. Reputation is very important to women. Others don't care whether the woman is a victim or not.
You all know the big flower in the next village.
They were engaged and were about to get married, but the man fell in love with a vixen and broke off the engagement with her despite his parents' objection.
The fault was originally the man's, but there were those who had good intentions, saying that she couldn't even tie down a man, and they tried every means to ruin her reputation, which led to difficulties in her marriage later on.
Those ruffians wanted to take advantage of her and get a wife for free, so they always came to harass and harm her.
It would be best if Dahua couldn't bear it and jumped into the river."
"There was also a good girl in my mother's family who was also slandered by others. She was so angry that she hanged herself."
The aunties and aunts listed them all one after another.
"There are so many such incidents, and every production team has encountered them.
Regardless of whether the person who made the mistake is a woman or not, it is always us women who bear the consequences in the end.
So, let’s not talk about this anymore, and tell others about it, and stop discussing it.
If Chen Zhiqing hears this and does something stupid, it will be our fault," Liu Jingxue said.
Some villagers questioned, "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Chen Zhiqing keep pestering Zheng Zhiqing? She even deliberately made trouble to get Zheng Zhiqing to work with her instead. She is so shameless. She will do something stupid."
"Aunt, Zheng Zhiqing's family is powerful, and they behave like that, but you still think it's Chen Zhiqing who is harassing Zheng Zhiqing.
Could it be that Zheng Zhiqing was blackmailing Chen Zhiqing and deliberately created a false impression?
If that were the case, we would be aiding and abetting the evil.”
“It’s possible.
You also know that some men always take pride in making women crazy about them. Even if no one likes them, they will try every means to give people the illusion that they are popular with women.
Zhou Zhiqing said that Zheng Zhiqing has many girlfriends in Beijing, and they are probably this kind of people.
When he came to our place, and heard what Zhou Zhiqing said before, who would really like him?
Maybe it was really like what Liu Zhiqing said, that Zheng Zhiqing was blackmailing Chen Zhiqing, deliberately creating a false impression that Chen Zhiqing was harassing Zheng Zhiqing, to satisfy Zheng Zhiqing's vanity."
"Yes, that's right, that must be it."
The villagers responded one after another.
Liu Jingxue continued, "So, Chen Zhiqing was the victim from beginning to end, and Zheng Zhiqing was the one who did the bad things.
The people in our production team are all kind-hearted and have a strong sense of justice. We cannot fulfill Zheng Zhiqing's wish and harm Chen Zhiqing.
If you want to talk about it, just talk about Zheng Zhiqing. As for Chen Zhiqing, don't talk about her. Get her out of this, lest she really gets upset and loses her life."
“Yes, everyone in our production team is a good person.
Let's do as Liu Zhiqing said and stop talking about Chen Zhiqing. It's pitiful enough for a little girl to meet such a person. We shouldn't add fuel to the fire."
The team leader adjourned the meeting and asked everyone to go to the fields to work.
Zheng Pengcheng didn't want to listen to the villagers talking about him behind his back, so he quickened his pace and hurried forward.
After seeing him walk away, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun began to search for Liu Jingxue among the crowd going downstairs.
At this time, Liu Jingxue had replaced a group of people around her. She continued with her previous strategy, making excuses for Chen Jiaojiao and pushing all the responsibility onto Zheng Pengcheng.
"Xiaoxue, you are here. We have been looking for you for a long time." Zhang Yingchun said when he saw Liu Jingxue.
Liu Jingxue was surprised. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
When the two of them sent Chen Jiaojiao to the clinic, Liu Jingxue was still in the space and didn't know about the conversation between the three, so she asked this question.
"We are here to tell you something." Xia Lan looked at the villagers around her, not sure whether she should say it or not.
Zhang Yingchun did not have such concerns, "We heard something from Chen Jiaojiao, so we came here to tell you.
Chen Jiaojiao said that Zheng Pengcheng had been taking her to wait outside the sunbathing area these past two days, hoping to find you.
She said that Zheng Zhiqing told her that he admired you very much and wanted to get to know you, but was worried that it would be inappropriate for a gay man to look for you, so Zheng Zhiqing asked her to cover for him.
Chen Jiaojiao said that Zheng Zhiqing wanted to meet you, but didn't want Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing to come together to meet you, so he acted in secret.
She deduced that Zheng Pengcheng's purpose in wanting to know you was definitely not simple."
"After we heard what she said, we decided to tell you so that you can be prepared."
Before Liu Jingxue could say anything, an auntie next to her clapped her hands and said, "Oh, we were just saying that Chen Zhiqing might have been coerced by Zheng Zhiqing, but we didn't expect it to be true.
I was wondering, how could a little girl disregard her own reputation and always get involved with a gay man? It turns out she was forced."
"What does Zheng Zhiqing want to do with Xiaoxue?
It was not enough that he had harmed Chen Zhiqing, so he wanted to harm Xiaoxue as well.
We also have to do it secretly so that Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing don't know.
I'm afraid those two people know what kind of person he is, and they can't stand him harming female comrades again, so they came to ruin his plan."
"Although I don't know why Zheng Zhiqing wants to get to know Liu Zhiqing, it is certain that he wants to do something bad."
“Liu Zhiqing, although you are very capable, you cannot prevent those conspiracies and plots no matter how powerful your military force is.
Stay away from that Zheng from now on. If you see him approaching, get away from him and don't meet him."
"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, you must avoid him and don't let him get to you."
Liu Jingxue didn't expect that Chen Jiaojiao would actually reveal this matter. She didn't know whether she planned to stay away from Zheng Pengcheng from now on, or had other purposes.
But no matter what her purpose was, she posed no threat to him.
I defended her in front of the villagers only to make myself feel at ease, and I didn't expect anything in return from her.
Moreover, before she told Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun about this, she had not told anyone else about her plan, so her action could not be a reward for herself.
Forget it, why think so much, just do your own thing.
After hearing the villagers' reminder, Liu Jingxue quickly agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely avoid Zheng Zhiqing if I see him, and I will definitely not contact him."
