Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 214 Difficult
Manman's life is not as peaceful and smooth as she expected.

The so-called good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Since she returned to Chenzhou Mansion and moved out of Wen's house, rumors have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, and spread quickly in the streets and alleys in various versions.

Based on the principle of talking about others, let them say what they like, and when they get tired of talking, they will naturally return to peace. They have been living in seclusion, staying at home, almost isolated It's too late, but it's like this, and it can't avoid disaster.

First of all, the business of Yishengju has been affected.

Every day, people gather at the door to point, talk and laugh, even entering the door is not to buy snacks, but to inquire about her directly and indirectly, and there are even idlers who say nasty things, which seems to make this As a place where you can enter and exit at will.

Although Mr. Wen is a well-known Confucian here, he is a pudding in white clothes after all. In the past, people in the government office had respect and fear for Mr. Wen and Yi Shengju, but now it is quite different.

Manman didn't want to sigh, but still had to be resentful.She knew very well that in the past, people looked at Chen Yunzheng's face.Now knowing that she has nothing to do with Chen Yunzheng, there is no need to be so polite to her.

Manman asked his staff to go to the yamen to report to the officials that someone was provoking a crowd to provoke a quarrel.

An angry Si Ling scolded: "This group of beasts in clothes and clothes, who take advantage of the benefits but don't do anything, really deserve to die."

What else does Manman not understand?She simply closed Yishengju.Don't do business, and live your own life behind closed doors, this time you won't be in trouble again, right?

But she was wrong.

Whenever she goes out, there are always countless pairs of eyes, with wariness, contempt, and contempt, as if looking at a vixen, for fear that she will snatch their man away.

There are also a group of children following behind, singing slang and vulgar songs: "Fox, twist, the man who is obsessed will follow, broom star, shameless, sooner or later God will come and collect..."

At the beginning, Si Ling and Si Long threatened them to throw them out, but they only recruited more and more people, and the hot-tempered women scolded back: "You are not afraid of the shadow when you are upright, and you are afraid of people saying that you have done shameless things? What my child said is something everyone knows, you are not guilty, what are you doing beating and scolding my child?"

Manman can bear these.

Isn't it just a child?They are pure angels, but their pure hearts have been polluted by society. She is an adult and doesn't care about them.It's a big deal that she doesn't go out less and never goes out. Is this the head office?
The children's childish words were mixed with ridicule and hostility, but they were not malicious after all, but the dead chickens and pigs thrown at Manman's house time and time again carried naked curses.

Manman couldn't understand, what kind of outrageous evil did she do to be treated inhumanly by these simple and kind neighbors?Didn't she just get divorced?As for the heinous crimes, do you have to die to cover up your humiliation?

But she couldn't explain these truths, no one listened to her reasoning, and she didn't even know who to tell.No one paid any attention to her, but every night in the dead of night, dead objects were always thrown at her door.

The most unbearable thing for Manman is that there are always many self-righteous men coming to her, shouting obscenely as "little lady", bragging about how rich he is, how strong he is, and what will definitely make the little girl happy. The lady is serving you comfortably...

Like a swarm of flies biting meat, they can't be driven away, they can't be driven away, and they are extremely annoying.

In the end, it developed to the point where people climbed the wall every night.

Manman was miserable, and she thought with grief and indignation that if this world continues to force her like this, she will definitely not be able to resist killing people.

But she can't kill, with her small strength, she can't even beat a woman like her, so Manman fully understands what it means to be cold and warm in the world, and what it means to bear it all over again.

She thought, this is the most aggrieved life she has lived in so many years since she came to this time and space.

Manman thought to herself, there is no place to keep people here, but there is a place to keep people.

She wanted to escape again.

It was true at first, but now the whole city knows her details, and the rumors are raging, plus there is a prejudice against women who have been separated from her.Divorced and divorced women are of the same nature, and they have only two endings: death or becoming a monk.

Anyone who stands out from the right is an alternative and deserves to be cast aside.

Manman is that, not only does she not seek death, she doesn't make a fuss about twisting her hair to be an aunt, but she also has a calm and graceful face all day long, just like someone who has nothing to do, which naturally arouses public anger.

Who made her a little widow?

As a result, the amount of right and wrong in front of the door is several times higher than that of ordinary Xunxue people.

The only good thing worthy of praise is the return of Si Zhen and Si Yi.Manman looked at the dusty couple in surprise and asked, "Why are you back?"

That's right, according to what Manman thought, she returned the deed of prostitution to both of them, and she has some money in her hand, so she can just recover her freedom and do whatever she wants, but why did the two of them come back again?
Si Zhen and Si Yi blushed blushing, full of joy and excitement: "The servants are on their way day and night after leaving the Chen family, just to see grandma soon..."

After saying a word, Manman's face turned gray.Si Long hurriedly smoothed things over: "It's a girl—"

Manman hates iron but not steel: "Isn't it good to be free?"

"The slaves don't want to leave the girl, girl, don't you want the slaves?" Si Zhen and Si Yi immediately burst into tears as if the sky had fallen.

Manman stroked her forehead speechlessly.In fact, she also understands that without power, power, money or backing, freedom is nothing but bullshit.Not everyone wants to be free as much as she does.Like now, she is indeed free, but what does she have?

She can now understand why very few modern women are willing to take the initiative to choose divorce.I was really used to the life of two people, and suddenly it became a day of bitter nights for one person, with unspeakable bitterness and grievances.

No wonder there are so many women crying and begging men to turn back.A life without a man, especially in the era she lives in, is simply like death. If Chen Yunzheng turned his prodigal son back at this moment, she thinks she would give in without spine.

I thought so, and because I just thought about it, and Chen Yun couldn't turn back no matter what, the sense of humiliation of losing self-esteem was not so strong, but because it was hidden deep in his heart and was unknown, Manman The sense of shame is not so strong.

She just thinks about it, thinks about it and doesn't break the law, right?And thinking is not the same as doing, anyway, she won't really wait for Chen Yunzheng to turn around, in short, thinking is useless, who doesn't want to think in vain, even thinking in vain...

Manman simply returned Si Ling's and Si Long's deeds of prostitution together, and said to the four of them, "I plan to leave Chenzhou Mansion."

The four girls expressed their loyalty in unison: "Wherever the girl goes, the slaves will follow."

Manman is no longer hypocritical, now she is just a notorious weak woman, without the four of them, she is really nothing, so she smiled and said: "Thank you."

Manman likes the peaceful small village like Zhangjiazhuang.

But she also understands that if a single woman suddenly settles down, she will also be looked down upon and bullied.It is said that human nature is inherently good and folk customs are simple, but there are always those who do good things.

After much deliberation, she decided to ask Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen for their opinions.Once she wants to leave, she has to report.Secondly, she thought it would be better to settle in a small village under the pretext of visiting relatives.

Of course, she won't really trouble others.Everything has to be taught by a famous teacher. Now she understands more and more that there are some things, those flamboyant displays are not hypocrisy.

Mrs. Wen was very reluctant, but she also knew what happened to Manman recently, so she patted Manman's hand comfortingly and said: "It's hard for you, Manman, it's better to avoid the limelight for a while, wait a day or two." Years, you will move back when the weather calms down."

Mr. Wen has a younger sister who married far away in the outskirts of the capital.What Mrs. Wen meant was that Manman simply went a little further.But Manman is not very enthusiastic about the capital, what is this?Because Chen Yun is in the capital, so does she have to have something to do with the capital?Would it make people think that she was still not ready to give up, and deliberately wandered in front of Chen Yunzheng?
But Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen have good intentions, Manman can't refuse forcefully, so he can only perfunctoryly say: "Let me think again."

When Manman went out, Mrs. Wen withdrew her loving gaze, and said tentatively to Mr. Wen: "I said that just now, isn't it a little too much?"

Mr. Wen just smiled gently and said, "It's up to you what you say. It's up to her to decide whether to go or not."

"But—" Mrs. Wen frowned, and said: "I was afraid that Manman would be soft-hearted, so I pushed the boat along. Wouldn't that... wouldn't it hurt her? She was a lonely girl, and she encountered such a bad situation. No matter how bad the situation is, I'm really afraid of her..."

A look of impatience flashed in Mr. Wen's eyes, and he said: "Don't worry, Manman has an idea, take a step back, even if she really decided to go with the flow, it was her own choice."

Mrs. Wen pondered for a while, but still worried: "Under this situation, so what if you have your own opinions? People are often defeated not by wind and rain, but by trivial matters and details in life. This world forces Manman so much. It's so unfair. Even if Yan Zhi is sincere to her, but other things and other people are mixed in the relationship, it's not the original taste. Do you like twice-cooked dishes, sir?"

No matter how delicious the dish is, if you don’t eat it while it’s hot, or return it to the pot when it’s cold, it will lose its original fragrance.What's more, it was originally a raw dish?It is also the taste of leftovers after being fried in the wok again.

Mrs. Wen let out a long sigh.

Mr. Wen only shook his head slightly, and said, "You have to trust that kid who speaks straight..."

believe?Hehe, Mrs. Wen raised her head gently and said, "I only believe in Mr.." In this world, I am afraid that there is no man as firm, persistent, and affectionate as Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wen had already met Chen Yunzheng first.

Chen Yun came here to plead guilty, so he knelt down to Mr. Wen as soon as he entered the door, and said in shame: "Sir, I am ashamed of teaching you to Mr...."

Mr. Wen was not angry. On the contrary, he was as easy-going and friendly as usual. He asked Chen Yun to get up, and said with a smile, "Why did you apologize as soon as we met? What happened?"

Chen Yunzheng didn't believe that Manman didn't say anything after he came back, so there was only one possibility, Mr. Wen was waiting for himself to admit his mistake.Although Mr. Wen is a good-tempered gentleman, he is a person who can distinguish right from wrong and is impartial.

Therefore, Chen Yunzheng didn't get up in a hurry, but straightened his body and said: "When I proposed to marry Manman, I said that I would live up to her in this life and treat her well. I broke my promise."

Mr. Wen flicked the tea leaves, put down the tea bowl upon hearing this, and said, "Oh, I believe you were sincere when you said this, otherwise you would not accept Manman as a righteous daughter at your request, let alone Marry her to you. Although she is a righteous daughter, but she always calls me daddy, I will definitely take on the responsibility of being a daddy."

Chen Yun was waiting for Mr. Wen's reprimand with his head down, but he was taken aback by the words, and didn't understand what Wen Xian meant.

That is to say, even though Manman is only Mr. Wen's adoptive daughter, and she was accepted after her own begging, he will not ignore Manman.This is a good thing. Chen Yunzheng is also sincerely happy for Manman. She has no relatives and no reason. With Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen as her backers, she also has support.

However, Mr. Wen's tone was flat, as if he wanted to seek justice for Manman?

So, how does the husband plan to bear the responsibility of being a father?

Mr. Wen's expression was still so peaceful, and there was no intentional indifference or coldness in his tone. He looked at Chen Yunzheng who was kneeling in front of him, sighed softly, and said: "Ten years of cultivation can make us cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can make us sleep together." Mian, between husband and wife, there is no reason to get together. The vast sea of ​​people, why do you only marry Manman, and Manman only marries you, not others? It can be seen that the relationship between husband and wife is fate. If you get together, you will get together, if the relationship goes away, you will disperse, let's be honest, the fate between you and Manman is over."

"No—" Chen Yunzheng cried out, looked up at Mr. Wen suddenly, and said sincerely: "Sir, I know that any excuses I say are evasions. I am ashamed of Manman in this matter, but I have already Knowing that I was wrong, can you give me another chance to make up for it? I really like Manman, and I will definitely treat Manman well, I can swear..."

Mr. Wen just smiled and said, "I believe in the truth, but it's not just that I believe it."

Chen Yun showed a dejected look on his face, pondered for a while, and begged: "Please also ask your husband and teacher's wife to speak for you." He understands that it needs to be faithful.

Mr. Wen still shook his head and said: "I say I believe, not that I believe that you will be able to do what you say, but that I believe in your sincerity at the moment. But sincerity alone is not enough for husband and wife to get along. You get up first , Tell me slowly what happened recently."

Chen Yunzheng saw that even though Mr. Wen was easy to talk, he insisted on insisting that he would not leave any room for him. He had no choice but to stand up first and tell the whole story of what happened after he arrived in the capital from the beginning to the end.

When it comes to the elder brother's concealment, he couldn't help but feel ashamed about how he wrote and left the book with his own hand.

Mr. Wen remained silent for a while, and when he finished speaking, he just sighed lightly, and said, "The world is tricking people, and you speak frankly, don't you admit it?"

Chen Yunzheng said stubbornly, "I don't recognize it."

Mr. Wen shook his head lightly: "It's just to be brave." Chen Yun was dumbfounded when he said a word.Yes, he is brave, he has no confidence, now he comes to pick up Manman, but because of Wen Churuo's promise to Rong Manman.

Chen Yunzheng stammered the word "I" and couldn't continue.

Mr. Wen didn't mean to reproach him, he just said: "You've been traveling all night, and you're tired after thinking about it, so go back and have a rest, and we'll talk about it after you think it over."

In any case, Mr. Wen's attitude was very lenient, and he didn't shut Chen Yunzheng out, leaving a lot of room between him and Manman.Chen Yunzheng didn't dare to be strong, and he didn't dare to see Manman at this time, so he had to return angrily.

Mrs. Wen asked Mr. Wen in puzzlement: "Why does Mr. believe in the truth so much?" There are countless vows to make, and it doesn't matter what he says, but depends on what he does and how he does it, especially the relationship between men and women.

Mr. Wen understood Mrs. Wen's considerations, and said with a little emotion: "The most rare thing for a person is to maintain a pure heart. Yan Zhi became famous when he was young. Although he has always been modest, he is unavoidable and a little arrogant. In addition, Considering his background, he has been loved by his parents, brothers and sisters since he was a child. Got it under control."

Mrs. Wen agreed: "Yes, the only setback he has suffered for so many years is the twists and turns between him and Manman."

Mr. Wen smiled gently and said: "People's hearts are changeable, and it is rare to have both. This is not a bad thing for Yan Zhi and Man Man. Probably because I am not a perfect person, so I am more tolerant of flaws. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, so it is more reassuring to have flaws." He rubbed his temples, and said slowly: "If you go through this, you can still maintain a pure and innocent heart. , It is a blessing for him and Manman. It doesn't matter in what capacity the two of them are together, but whether they can be together is important."

After many years of husband and wife, Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen have a good understanding. Mrs. Wen understands what Mr. Wen said, but Mr. is a man and doesn't understand women's thoughts. I don't understand the little thoughts of women.

Mrs. Wen is different. She is a woman herself, and a woman who has the most rare and precious feelings in the world. She can empathize with Man Man, so she only agrees with her husband's words [-]%.

Men's ambitions, women's feelings, are just a little exaggeration of life, never the main theme.But for women, men and feelings are the focus of life and the whole of life. Naturally, the requirements for feelings are stricter, more persistent, and too perfect than men's requirements for women.

But things have come to this point, for Manman, there may not be a better way out.

Mrs. Wen sighed slightly. She made up her mind not to overly promote this matter.

　In the past few days, I have written less, read a lot of articles, and found that authors who are not married write more meat than those who are married. It really does not leave a way for people to survive.
