Liu Shouren was utterly bewildered until Shuzhen explained the rumors flying around the village, finally understanding where the problem lay.
He immediately gave his sister a look, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's one thing for outsiders to spread rumors, but don't you know what really happened? A young girl's reputation is not a joking matter! Obviously, the young girl just came here and was homesick, so she cried. We gave her some advice. You were in a hurry to comfort your child and left first, asking me to see her off. How did such an innocent thing turn into so many unsavory tales?
Who, who is so bored as to spread baseless gossip? Better hope I don't catch you, or I'll make you all clean the latrines. Maybe you'll learn better, and next time you won't be so loose-mouthed!"
The loudspeaker was turned on, and this voice quickly spread to every corner of Liu family village.
