For several days in a row, the Zhao family was gloomy.

Neighbors in the neighborhood also have their own opinions behind their backs. Although the Wang family did not say anything about the divorce to the outside world, it is impossible for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang to talk about it. But most of the time, what people like to do the most is It was just gossip, some people saw the Wang family's ox cart, and then everyone saw it. Since then, Zhao's father looked downcast, and all kinds of gossip immediately increased.

It was passed around, and it became that Zhao Cheng died in battle outside, so the Wang family got rid of their in-laws.

In fact, everyone knew that the news of Huang Tianjun's defeat in the Southern Wilderness had only just spread, and it was impossible to come to a conclusion as to who died in the battle and who were fine.

But in many cases, it is the bad roots of some people who are not afraid of the hardships of the people around them. They are afraid that the lives of the people around them are going well. Even if they are blood relatives, some people will deliberately come and step on you when you are down. The more uncomfortable you are, the happier the other person will be.

This is what the Zhao family is facing now.

Because Zhao Cheng became a Taoist before, and later became the general banner, the life of the Zhao family is the best among all the neighbors in the neighborhood.

Also because of this heavy identity, although many people envy and hate, but on the surface, they dare not show it at all, for fear of retaliation.

Not daring to show it doesn't mean that it will disappear. On the contrary, it will continue to accumulate in the heart until the Zhao family shows weakness, then it will suddenly explode.

Although these people didn't have any evidence, they still did it on purpose, assuming the worst situation, and in particular, they deliberately increased the volume when talking, just to let Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang hear.

In the evening, after eating, many people gathered in twos and threes on the alleys and corners, chatting about various things.

In the past, Zhao Xiang was also one of them, chatting with those aunts was her rare entertainment.

Although what these people said were all clichés, some stories were heard a little, and they were told over and over eight hundred times, but Zhao Xiang still never tired of it.

It's just that Zhao Xiang didn't go out much in the past few days, but even though the door was closed, through the crack of the door, Zhao Xiang could still hear a lot of chatter from outside.

The loudest one was Aunt Lin who lived nearby. This aunt took good care of her on weekdays, even in a flattering way, but now, the other party said similar words over and over again.

At this moment, Zhao Xiang heard the ear-piercing voice from outside the door: "That child Zhao Cheng is too pitiful, he died just like that at such a young age, the most hateful thing is that Wang's family actually fell into trouble, that child just died , came here impatiently to withdraw the engagement, it is simply ruthless..."

Aunt Lin was again tirelessly condemning the Wang family who had retired from the engagement. On the surface, it sounded like she was talking to the Zhao family, but in fact, Zhao Xiang knew that this was what the other party said loudly to herself on purpose.

If it was really for their father and daughter, she must have known that the news of the defeat had just come in, and there was no conclusion at all about who would live and who would die.

But Aunt Lin still made the final conclusion directly, and her tone was very firm and her voice was loud, as if she had seen everything with her own eyes, and what she said was vivid.

At the beginning, Zhao Xiang almost thought that Aunt Lin was a good person, but after hearing a lot of similar words, she came to think of it.

This person looks kind, but in fact he hates viciously, wishing for Zhao Cheng's death, wishing for their family to be ruined.

Of course, even if this kind of thing comes true, they will not get the slightest benefit, but some people are inherently bad, the more unfortunate others are, the happier they are...

However, even though he knew this, thinking of the other party's disguised appearance and his current face, Zhao Xiang couldn't help feeling sour in his heart, and his eyes were a little red.

And those piercing voices, like magic sounds, reminded her uncontrollably of the nightmare not long ago.

In the small room on the other side, Zhao Sheng was silent, just taking one sip after another, smoking the dry tobacco. This tobacco leaf was grown by himself, and then dried. No matter the variety or the method, it is not good, and the taste is naturally very bad. Well, on weekdays, he would only come to have a couple of mouthfuls occasionally to refresh himself, but now, he continued continuously. It seemed that this was the only way to relieve some of the depression in his heart.

The ear-piercing voice made him want to run out and tear off the mouths of those shrews, but he knew that the more he lost his composure, the more proud those people would be, and even, this kind of thing was what they expected looking forward to.

He can guarantee that once he loses his composure, a group of people will forcefully hold him back in the name of doing his best, and then use words or even actions to deal him a bigger blow.

He has seen many similar things in his life.

Even those wicked people must be in a dark place, thinking gloomyly, if they can force their father and daughter to death, that would be the best, so that they can feel satisfied.

Of course, on the bright side, they would say that the Zhao family's father and daughter are a pity, they can't bear the blow of losing their loved ones, and they will condemn this damn world.

He clearly remembered that when he was still an apprentice blacksmith, there was a woman in that area, and her husband died shortly after she got married, so rumors arose soon, saying that it was this woman who killed her husband , In the end, it evolved to say that since this woman killed her husband, she was unfaithful if she did not die for her husband. What's more, it even said that this woman conspired with an adulterer to kill her own husband. Husband, otherwise why don't you go with your own husband? !

Those villains deliberately said similar things 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's apprentice at that time, was still a child, but he knew that the woman was a very good person, and she usually spoke softly when talking to people, and was very kind to everyone, but in this way The one person who was killed was directly forced to death.

This is not an isolated case, there are still many places where if there are elderly people whose children died due to accidents, the people around them will deliberately say things like why do they still have to live when their children are all dead...

There are also people who are filial to their parents and are a filial son with a harmonious and beautiful family, but the neighbors around them will deliberately avoid children, gossip in front of the old people, say who is so and so, why not die, and drag their children down alive... …

Zhao Sheng has seen too many such things.

Although Zhao Sheng has not read any books, he knows the power of words, which is very terrifying. If he is shaken, it will be over.
