"What kind of gossip is it?" Zhu Zhibin asked curiously.
"You are a boy, why do you like gossip? Only girls like gossip," Zhu Yanyi teased Zhu Zhibin on purpose.
Zhu Zhibin made a pig nose at Zhu Yanyi. "I am still small. Children should be curious."
"Second Aunt, tell us. What happened?" Zhu Yanli asked with a smile. "Ignore Ani and Doumiao."
"It is nothing big. Just a rumor," Luo Ying said with a smile. She took the egg custard from Qi Qiaoer’s side and fed Xie Tianyun and Xie Guiyun. "A family in the village next door is very poor. They wanted their daughter to marry a rich man. But she was too picky. Finally, she married into Honghe Village. Last year, she had a daughter. When the baby was seven months old, she left the baby and went back to her parents' home. She stays there and refuses to go back to her husband's family. Her husband's family is not nice. It is a big mess now."
Zhu Yanyi heard this rumor. It felt very familiar. Was this her Second Uncle’s past life? "Why is that woman like that? What is her name? What happened to her daughter?" Zhu Yanyi asked, pretending to be very curious.
"That woman is Wang Xiaoya. She is from the village next to my parents' home. Wang Xiaoya went back to her parents and told everyone her husband abused her. But her husband's family is kind, even though they are poor. Everyone in that village knows their character. When they married her, they gave two taels of silver and three pieces of jewelry. The villagers of Honghe Village know that family is proud but has a good heart. They always help others when there is trouble. So, the whole village was unhappy to hear this rumor. The husband's family was even more unhappy. They have already sued in court." Luo Ying finished feeding the little ones and put the bowl aside.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "But the court does not have clear laws against spreading rumors yet. They will probably just give them a warning."
"I heard that the Chen family, Wang Xiaoya’s husband’s family, knows about this. Their goal is to show everyone that it is not true. Then they can divorce openly. Of course, the child will belong to the father," Luo Ying carefully wiped the little ones' mouths with a handkerchief. Then she said, "I heard from my parents' side that the Chen family has a high chance of winning. Because the Chen family’s good character is famous in Honghe Village."
Qi Qiaoer frowned nearby. "No matter how the lawsuit goes, the child suffers. How can Wang Xiaoya be so irresponsible?" Being older, she hated seeing such things.
Xie Zhong smiled slightly nearby. "Different people are different. Why worry? You will see. Wang Xiaoya will not have a good ending in the future."
"I remember when Ah Can’s mother introduced you, Luo Ying, Ah Fu’s mother also came to introduce someone to Shengyu. It was this Wang Xiaoya. But Shengyu had already chosen you. So that matter ended," Qi Qiaoer said with a lucky expression. She was glad her daughter-in-law was not Wang Xiaoya. If she had married such a troublemaker, the home would not be peaceful.
Hearing Qi Qiaoer’s words, Zhu Yanyi paused while eating. She did not expect Wang Xiaoya to almost enter Xie Shengyu’s life again. Luckily, in this life, Wang Xiaoya did not even get the chance to meet them. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.
