Their expressions became a little weird, but they didn't say much. They just glanced at each other, then gathered all the items on the list and helped Honglian load them in the car.
“Thank you.” Seeing that everything was packed, Honglian thanked her and pulled the car out.
After walking for a while, Xia Mingyue suddenly remembered that after placing the order yesterday, Xia Mingyue thought that the amount of pepper was not enough, so she asked her to add more pepper today.
Pepper is one of the seasonings that are always available in the central kitchen. It is always available, so Honglian went back to get some more.
Before entering the courtyard of the central kitchen, Honglian heard the two or three people in the central kitchen who had just loaded the goods for her laughing and joking.
"Thank you."
The voice with a deliberately pinched throat sounded full of laughter, and the words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
“Don’t tell me, sister-in-law, you are really learning something similar. I have been to Madam Xia’s residence several times, and hearing her speak like this gave me goosebumps all over my body!”
“Hey, I heard that this Honglian was not a serious maid before, but She is specially trained to be a concubine and a toy for others, so she naturally talks like this. If not, how can she seduce men?"
"No wonder I always hear people say that the business of this big pot of mutton soup is good. It’s incredible. It seems like it’s because of the red lotus’s little hooves?”
"No, with this little voice yelling and twisting her butt, it's recruiting people. Do you think we, Mrs. Xia, are really not afraid of losing our reputation if we carry such a thing with us?"
"Nothing else matters, but you husbands are always walking on the street. You have to be more careful and don't let your husband's soul be taken away by those little hooves..."
When Honglian heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he stayed where he was.
Grief suddenly welled up in my heart, and tears rolled back and forth in my eyes.
She thought that she had been bought back, and had escaped the fate of being bought as a concubine or a plaything. She had been with Xia Mingyue for many days, and had lived a normal life. She could Like Yinqiao or Zhuang Cui, they earn money with their own hands and gain normal respect from others.
But she obviously thinks that life is too beautiful.
Her past has become a mark on her body that cannot be washed away, and will always be remembered by everyone, and will even be embellished...
In Honglian Tears The surge came out, and when the whole person was at a loss, someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
Honglian was startled and turned around to see that the person who came was none other than Xia Mingyue. She hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her sleeves, "Ms. Xia."
"What's wrong, you're crying like this ?" Xia Mingyue was a little surprised to see Honglian crying like this.
"No, it's nothing..." Guren responded in a panic.
This appearance is obviously not nothing.
And what can make Honglian so sad must be something she cares about very much.
If we say what Hong Lian cares about most...
Xia Mingyue did not ask Hong Lian any more, but walked forward. When she arrived at the entrance of the central kitchen, she did not go in. Instead, stop and listen to what's going on inside.
Among the people inside, the topics about Honglian did not stop, but became more and more frequent. From saying that Hong Lian was not a serious person, she began to speculate that the reason why Hong Lian set up a stall to sell mutton soup was because she wanted to hook up with a wealthy man so that she could take him back and live a good life.
They even began to discuss whether Honglian was still a virgin at this time...
Xia Mingyue frowned, walked into the yard, and "coughed" There was a sound.
When several people saw that it was Xia Mingyue who was coming, they hurriedly kept silent, stood up, and said respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Xia."
"Ms. Xia, why are you here now?" The leader, the eldest Mrs. Chen, smiled very attentively.
"There is indeed something going on." Xia Mingyue said in a deep voice, raising her finger and pointing at the four people who were frothing at the mouth just now, "You, you, you, and you, go to the accounting room to pay the money and leave immediately. ”
The four of them were stunned when they heard this.
When she realized that Xia Mingyue was going to drive them away, she immediately burst into tears.
Ms. Chen even defended herself, "Why did Madam Xia drive us away?"
"Yes." Ms. Liu on the side also agreed, "We have always done our best in the central kitchen and have never made any mistakes. Madam Xia suddenly kicked us out. This is unreasonable."
"Talking behind our backs" Slander others, throw dirty water on others, damage others' reputation, Isn't this enough?" Xia Mingyue's voice was cold and stern, "Although I, Xia Ji, like to hire hard-working people, I also pay more attention to whether the character is upright. I will definitely not let anyone who does not distinguish between right and wrong and hurt others at will. "
The four of them suddenly understood.
Is Lady Xia here to support Honglian?
Ms. Xia doesn’t care about Hong Lian’s past and still protects her like this. She is really lucky!
"Who do I think I am? It turns out it's because of this..." Chen said, "We just talk casually. If Madam Xia feels something is wrong, we just don't say anything."
"Yes, yes. Ah, let’s just say it.” The other three agreed, “It’s not a big deal.”
“It’s not a big deal?” Let’s talk about it, what’s the big deal?”
“This…” The four of them were speechless and didn’t know how to answer.
Xia Mingyue continued to speak sternly, "You think you said it casually, but you don't know that these words can hurt people more severely than a knife. You said it casually, and you slapped a label on others and established a stigma. These words If something is passed down from one person to another and people think it is something that is not true, then how can the person you are talking about still live? "
"You have never thought that if Hong Lian couldn't bear it and took his life because of the uproar in the city because of your casual words, wouldn't you be murderers?"
"Even if Hong Lian can bear it?" Live, but in the future, there will be rumors and rumors, all about things that have never happened. How should she continue to live? She is afraid that she will have to live in hardships for the rest of her life, and all of this is because of your so-called casual remarks. !” Mouth, no more sophistry.
On the contrary, Mrs. Chen still disagreed with Xia Mingyue's point of view, "Although Madam Xia said so, we did not say this, we just heard it from the sidelines. Besides, flies If you don’t hold a seamless egg, since some people say that there must be something wrong, you can’t allow others to do it, let us not say it.”
Xia Mingyue glanced at Chen, but did not answer her words, but said. , "I heard that your parents-in-law are both bedridden at home, and your husband also has many difficulties doing things outside." (End of Chapter)
