Chapter 294: Strange Brother
Shen Rong felt very disappointed when she looked at her brother who seemed like a strange stranger to her.
She widened her eyes and looked at her somewhat unfamiliar brother in disbelief. She really didn't expect Dong Ting to blame her as his sister for not speaking up for his future daughter-in-law because of those rumors.
She had given her heart and soul and put all her efforts into her little brother's plan, but she never expected to get such a result in return. It would be a lie for Shen Rong to say that she was not disappointed.
Shen Rong looked at her little brother with a childish face and was shocked to realize that Shen Dongting in this life was not the sensible and pitiful little brother that Shen Rong remembered because he had not experienced the changes in the previous life.
Shen Rong's mind was extremely clear at this moment, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably because of her brother's blame.
Shen Dongting did not listen to Lu's words, and he still looked unhappy.
"Mom, I'm not wrong. Don't you know what your daughter-in-law-to-be is like? Why don't you clarify it in front of those people in the village? You don't know how badly they say it."
Shen Dongting stayed at home to recuperate his leg for more than half a month and was finally able to go out for a walk. As a result, when he walked to the old soapberry tree, he heard the villagers discussing his affairs from afar before he got close.
When he came closer and listened carefully, he was so angry that he fell backwards.
Those people said all kinds of things. Some said his future wife was stupid, others said his wife was a slut, otherwise why would she marry him, a country bumpkin, etc...
Shen Dongting was so angry that he was about to go up and argue with the man when he saw Changsheng walking out of the tree hole. Changsheng looked indifferent and Shen Dongting was so angry that he almost died.
This is his brother-in-law! He was indifferent to the slander against his brother-in-law.
Shen Dongting walked up to them without thinking and argued with them.
As a result, before he got close, someone discovered him.
Gu Dawang was the first person to discover Shen Dongting. He raised his voice and asked Shen Dongting:
"Oh, the youngest of Shen Laowu's family finally dares to go out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Shen Dongting could say anything, someone in the crowd immediately winked at Gu Dawang and said:
"What are you talking about? If I were to marry a wife like this, I would be too embarrassed to go out!"
Shen Dongting clenched his fists, "My future wife is fine! You old bachelors don't need to worry about her!"
Shen Dongting's words were like a stab in the lungs of Gu Dawang and others.
When these words first spread, many people in the village agreed with them, but as time went on, Shen Wu's family simply stopped saying a word. Who has the time to chat nonsense with others here?
The only ones who could hold on were those like Gu Dawang who had not yet married, or the old widowers whose wives had died and run away. They were jealous of Shen Dongting, and seeing that the Shen family had not come out to say anything, their words became more and more outrageous.
When Gu Dawang saw that a young boy dared to laugh at him for being an old bachelor, he became so angry that he rushed to his head.
Gu Dawang glanced at Changsheng who had just crawled out of the tree hole. He had suffered losses at the hands of Changsheng and the Shen family before, so he would not resort to violence, but he could use his words.
"Oh! This rumor has been going on for so long, has anyone in your family come out to clarify it? Your good brother-in-law listens to us talking about it every day, but he never says a word to help you. It shows that your family also knows what kind of wife you are going to marry is like."
"That's right! If there's really nothing wrong with your fiancée, why don't your family and you speak out? You must be feeling guilty!"
"We've all said it before, it's not that easy to marry a girl from the city! How could a nice girl fall for a peasant?"
"Dong Ting! You are still too young!"
"Hehe... this can't be blamed on the kid. He's still young, so it's normal for him to be deceived!"
Everyone was talking at once, leaving Shen Dongting speechless.
If he didn't know and hadn't seen that Chen Rou was a good girl, he might have doubted whether what they said was true.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Gu Dawang smiled and said, "Your sister must know your fiancée. She passed by here just now and heard what we said, but she didn't say anything. I guess..."
He deliberately left the rest of the words to Shen Dongting's imagination.
Shen Dongting glanced at Changsheng, who was heading towards the west of the village as if he hadn't seen him, and his anger was rising to his head.
Gu Dawang felt secretly happy when he saw Shen Dongting’s angry face.
"Yes, Dongting, these rumors have been circulating in the village for many days. Since there is no problem with your future daughter-in-law, why don't your family members come to clarify it?"
"It's not that he won't come, he's probably just feeling guilty! After all, there will always be a day when your wife will come home..."
Everyone was talking at once, as if they didn't notice Shen Dongting's ugly face.
These people like to get together and gossip about other people whenever they have nothing to do. They are so eloquent that they can make even the dead talk alive. Shen Dongting, a young boy, is no match for them at all.
If the rumor had just spread at this time and Shen Dongting came to argue with them, these people would still have something to say.
The result would be just as Shen Rong guessed.
Not only are they being laughed at by others, but these people are just making up rumors out of jealousy, and they don't care what the truth of the matter is!
After all, Shen Dongting was just a young boy who hadn't experienced much, and he was immediately very angry with these people.
He returned home in a rage. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother and sister talking and laughing. His mind went blank and words of dissatisfaction burst out.
After he said this, he saw his sister's hurt expression and felt a little regretful in his heart. However, the young man's self-esteem got to him and he just stiffened his neck and refused to lower his head.
Seeing her youngest son like this, Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed at her son and said coldly, "Ha! Do you think it's unpleasant when people make up a few words about you? If the villagers knew that you promised the Chen family that your son would take the Yue family's surname in the future, there would be a lot of unpleasant things to say. Do you believe it?"
Originally, Mrs. Lu had no complaints about Miss Chen Rou. It was her freedom to marry a son-in-law. But she felt somewhat unhappy when the person she chose to marry was her son.
Especially since his son almost lost his life in order to marry her.
But in the end, it was still not enough. She also had to provide for her in her old age and let her future grandson have the surname Chen. No matter how generous Mrs. Lu was, she still felt uneasy about her daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family.
Moreover, this brat actually bullied his sister who loved him so much for his wife. One can imagine how furious Lu was.
"You ungrateful bastard! Your wife hasn't even entered the house yet! Our whole family has to worship her and pamper her, right? Where do you get the nerve to do that?
Your sister is still pregnant! You actually yelled at her!" Mrs. Lu's face turned red with anger.
She thought about how her daughter had repeatedly sent money home for her youngest son's marriage, but her younger brother...
Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her daughter from the bottom of her heart.
Without waiting for Shen Dongting to understand, she slapped her daughter on the arm. It looked like she was using a lot of force, but in fact, when the slap landed on Shen Rong's arm, she didn't use any force at all.
While beating him, Lu cursed, "You idiot, why are you sending money back? This ungrateful bastard deserves not to be able to marry. What else can you buy with your money? You sent it here, but it all went to this ungrateful bastard. Hurry up and take the money back!"
When Shen Dongting heard his mother say this, he had everything clear to him. His face turned red with shame. He stood there, lowered his head and looked at his toes. In fact, he had already regretted it in his heart.
