Chapter 296 - 288: Zhong Hongying Is Here Too
It is true that Zhong Hongying has become increasingly beautiful. At eighteen, dressed in fashionable attire and full-figured, she resembled a ripe peach, enchanting and captivating, and could easily draw the attention of many men as soon as she stepped out of the door.
After marrying, Zhong Hongying had become a stranger to her own family. Instead, she frequently visited her uncle Zhong Shancai’s home. During holidays, she would return to Zhong Shancai’s rather than her parental home, and any festive gifts she received were also given to the Zhong Shancai family, causing immense heartache to Zhong Liangcai.
Fortunately, Zhong Shancai and his wife were very down-to-earth people. They never took advantage of Zhong Hongying’s generosity, treating their niece as their own married daughter, maintaining a reciprocal relationship. They also got along very well with Zhong Hongying’s in-laws.
Zhong Hongying’s husband had also visited Yuequan Village a few times. Seeing him, everyone felt sorry for Zhong Hongying, and their regard for Zhong Liangcai diminished further, as the man was truly an imbecile, completely unable to take care of himself and even drooling incessantly, to the point that spending even a second with him was unbearable.
However, Zhong Hongying treated her husband really well, speaking to him gently and tidying him up nicely without any sign of disdain. Not only in Moon Spring Village but also in other villages, people couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, praising her as a good woman!
But there were some gossips who claimed Zhong Hongying was unchaste, with one loudmouthed midwife from Moon Spring Village secretly suggesting that Zhong Hongying was no longer a virgin, surely having an affair outside, although others scoffed at such conjecture.
"Are you out of your mind? Zhong Hongying has been married for three years, it would be odd if she was still a virgin!"
"Don’t you use your brains? Zhong Hongying’s husband is a fool, does he even understand that kind of thing? Is he even capable? Zhong Hongying must be seeing someone else!"
"No way, Hongying is not like her elder sister, she’s a decent girl, do not slander her with your wild speculations!"
"Yeah, are you so sure her husband can not do that? Maybe you have tried it yourself?"
