Chapter 71: Destroying own reputation
“Zhi’er? Why are you here?” Doctor Lu stopped and asked in surprise .
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Lu Dafu, may I have a few words with you, please? I have something to tell you . ”
Doctor Lu thought Bai Zhi wanted to talk about the wild ginseng . The wild ginseng was inside the bag in his hand: Does she want to take it back?
With some doubts, Doctor Lu went down the ox cart and walked under the shade, then asked: “What’s wrong?”
Bai Zhi went closed and whispered a few words in Doctor Lu’s ear .
Doctor Lu was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand: “This can’t be done . If this spread, how are you going to marry in the future? Your reputation will completely be ruined . ”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I’ll think about it in the future . But for now, I don’t want to be sold by my grandmother and my aunt . First Aunt will go to the Baiyang Village today, to find me a husband . It’s good to get married, but not in this nasty way . They only want to sell me . I still want to stay with my mother and repay her kindness . ”
When Doctor Lu heard her words, he couldn’t help but gritted his teeth: “This Bai Family is really a beast . They are all wicked people . It’s only really a waste for your mother to lose her youth and work hard for those people . ”
Doctor Lu turned his head and said to Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er think about it again . Once you destroyed your owned reputation, we can’t do anything about it . You might not be able to get it back . ”
Bai Zhi nodded: “I carefully thought of it . I don’t care about my reputation . As long as I can live with my mother, I am more satisfied . ”
Doctor Lu understood Bai Zhi’s current mood . If such thing really happens, although reputation was important, nothing else was more important than life . Doctor Lu was very familiar with Baiyang Village’s situation, some people there who don’t have money cannot get married . But, some people who have money, also cannot get a wife .
Most people there were an old bachelors . Why they can’t get married even though they have a little bit of money?
Aside from the bad feng shui, there was another big reason, these old bachelors have very tyrannical character . Who knows how many ordinary girls were tortured to death in that village . However, some wives who successfully sneaked out, spread news about those old bachelor’s notorious behavior, which causes the other old bachelor had a hard time to look for a wife . The price to get a wife increase, because only people who needed money was willing to marry off in the Baiyang Village .
Doctor Lu looked at the ox cart that was not far away from the shades, then said in a low voice: “Zhi’er, don’t worry, I’ll help you in this matter . I will look for an opportunity to spread some wind to a few women in the village that will go to the town . We will use their mouth to spread a news . By then, this incident you think off will spread throughout the village . ”
Bai Zhi’s lips curved into a smile: “That’s good . The sooner the news spread, the better . Today, First Aunt went to the Baiyang Village . Once she finds someone, it is estimated that person will investigate me in the next two days . ”
The two people continued whispering to each other . But, when someone came, they separate their ways .
Doctor Lu went back to the ox cart . Seeing this, Zhao Lan pulled Bai Zhi and asked: “This child, what did you talk about with Lu Dafu?”
Bai Zhi understood that this matter shouldn’t be hidden from her mother, and so she simply told her .
Zhao Lan became anxious . She wanted to chase after Doctor Lu, but Bai Zhi stopped her: “Niang, don’t worry, listen to me first . ”
Zhao Lan hurriedly said: “How can I not worry? Don’t you know how important a girl’s reputation is in this world? How can you destroy your own reputation? If this spread, how are you going to marry in the future?”
