Mother Hu met up with a few familiar friends to play mahjong at the usual place.
Mother He also came. She was a little depressed and didnât seem to be in the mood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mother Hu saw this and asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm fine.â Mother He forced a smile.
âSigh! I also know what youâre annoyed about. Itâs about He Ming, right?â Mother Hu pretended to comfort her.
âHe Ming? Whatâs the matter?â Another mahjong friend said, âDoesnât he already have a girlfriend? Theyâre getting married soon. Just wait to have grandchildren. â
âHave you heard? He Mingâs girlfriend was married before. I heard that she even had a miscarriage,â said Mother Hu seriously. Her tone sounded like it was a pity.
Mother He was stunned. How did she know about this? Didnât the mysterious person send this news to her home? Could it be that the person had also sent it to Mother Hut s house?
Mother He was a little confused.
As the saying goes, one should not wash oneâs dirty linen in public. The situation was still unclear, so it was better for her not to speak.
âWho told you that? This is false information,â said Mother He calmly.
âShanshanâs friend knows her. She recognized her when she saw the photo the other day,â said Mother Hu in an orderly manner, fooling the others.
âThen she must have gotten the wrong person. Xiaomeng is a good girl. Even if something happened in the past, itâs all in the past.â Mother He was very protective of her people.
âSigh! Girls these days are a little unclear. Itâs better to be careful and observe them more. After all, He Mingâs qualifications are so good. He doesnât have to worry about getting a girlfriend.â Mother Huts words stunned Mommy He for a while.
It had only been a short while. How did her friends around her know?
âItâs fine as long as He Ming likes her. The child has grown up. As parents, we canât make the decision,â said Mother He indifferently.
She didnât know why, but she just didnât like people talking about Xiaomeng like that.
âThatâs true. Children and grandchildren have their blessings.â The other mahjong friends winked at Mother Hu, telling her to stop talking.
Mother Heâs expression had changed. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unhappy.
Mother Hu glanced at her and stopped talking.
Mother He didnât have any interest in playing mahjong anymore, but she endured the game until it was over to make herself look fine.
When Mother He got home, she looked exasperated. She put her bag down on the sofa and said, âIâm so angry. What does she mean?â
âWhatâs wrong?â asked Father He. Wasnât she fine when she went out?
âWhereâs He Ming? Tell him to come back.â Mother He thought of something.
Father He knew that her temper came and went quickly. So he sat at the side and read the newspaper, ignoring her.
When Qiuqiu saw Mother He coming back, it hurriedly went to her feet. âYouâre still the most considerate one, Qiuqiu.â
Mother He held Qiuqiu in her arms and said to Father He, âOld man, if Xiaomengâs reputation is affected, do you think we should agree to their relationship?â
âWhy not? I think Xiaomeng is a pretty good kid. Most importantly, He Ming likes her. Donât be an ugly person anymore. Reputation? Is it murder and arson? Or did she sell her body?â
Father He was more clear-headed and felt that Mother He was overreacting.
Women loved to let their imaginations run wild.
âNo, if he gets pointed at by others, how can he live? Do you know? Xu Fang and the others knew about it and even pretended to comfort me.â
Mother He was a woman, after all, so she still cared about these things.
âWhy donât you ask He Ming to come back and ask him about the specific situation? Donât think about it blindly.â Father He suggested.
He thought that he was a good judge of character. He wouldnât misjudge
Xiaomeng..
