Back To The 80s: Pre Chapter 80: She Doesn’t Abide by Women’s Virtue?

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: She Doesn’t Abide by Won’s Virtue?

Cheng Su overestimated herself, thinking hard work was comndable, yet forgetting the darker side of human nature.

In her previous life, she could stay away from ho for days on end without sleep or food for the sake of a project, a wedding venue decoration, striving for perfection.

Now, rely for convenience, staying at her workplace for two days, leaving early and returning late for work, she was gossiped about as being unfaithful, as being restless.

My God!

How can people’s hearts be so dark!

She forgot that it’s not the twenty-first century, but the conservative 1980s, where a woman who doesn’t co ho for no reason and without explanation invites suspicions and idle thoughts.

Having been busy all day, she ca back only to hear such unbearable gossip; even with a good temper, she couldn’t tolerate it.

Who would want others to tarnish their reputation, especially concerning a woman’s virtue?

Cheng Su and the gossip-monger quarreled.

"Which eye of yours saw

fraternizing with soone else, your left eye or your right eye, or do you have an extra ’heavenly eye’ on the back of your head?" Cheng Su snapped coldly, "If you don’t know the facts, don’t talk nonsense. What kind of family upbringing did you have? Don’t you worry that your loose tongue might get you into trouble?"

He Xing, wife of Platoon Leader Zhong, turned from green to white.

"I haven’t even been in this compound for more than a month, and yet you seem to know

so well, detailed and intimate. You really are sothing else; nobody does it better than you!" Cheng Su continued sarcastically before He Xing could reply, "But I advise you to keep so virtue in your words and not spread unfounded rumors that make everyone look bad."

"You, I—who’s talking about you?" He Xing shot back.

"Everyone is listening, do you think they are all deaf fools? Wasn’t it you who said I was fooling around outside? Or maybe you’ve been drinking in broad daylight and babbling nonsense?" Cheng Su narrowed her eyes.

"I, you..." He Xing didn’t expect Cheng Su to be so quick-witted, leaving her flustered with a barrage of words; it took her a mont before she responded, "It was Chunhua who said you haven’t been ho for two days."

Chunhua, who was watching the commotion, was startled and quickly said, "I just said you weren’t at ho," though her face betrayed so panic.

Cheng Su glanced at her indifferently and said, "I opened a small diner at the school to do so business, I had to start early in the morning, busy until the afternoon. Because it wasn’t convenient, and with Old Qi away, I stayed at the diner. Anyone who didn’t know could’ve asked Qiulan. I’m living a hard life, not as leisurely as you, sitting around and shooting the breeze after a full al."

Her comnt left several faces turning blue.

But inside, Cheng Su was seething; not returning ho had led to such ugly rumors.

"It’s getting late, I’m hungry, why don’t I go ho and cook dinner instead of arguing here about nothing?" Taiguo walked over and scolded Cheng Su.

Seeing him, Cheng Su’s brow furrowed; she was upset upon hearing these rumors, but what about him? Did he also think she had been unfaithful?

She obediently followed Taiguo ho.

"That, um..." Cheng Su was sowhat uneasy, unsure of what he might think.

"We all live in the sa compound, seeing each other daily. Why argue with her? Think it looks good?" Taiguo said sternly.

Cheng Su couldn’t accept this, retorting, "Should I just tolerate it when people walk all over , accusing

of being unfaithful? Excuse , but this concerns my reputation, and I don’t have your capacity to shrug it off."

"You still care about reputation? Who told you to not co ho? Who knows what you might be doing out there?" Taiguo glared at her in dissatisfaction.
