A ragged cub at the beginning

I am not speaking for a certain individual, I am speaking for all the women who are not treated as human beings by you.

These words seemed to have paused the noisy crowd, and they fell silent. Du Yun turned around and looked at her, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.

She is sometimes naive and sometimes sophisticated. In her daily life, she sometimes behaves childishly and sometimes shows insight, making people seem to get to know her anew every moment.

"Well said!" A middle-aged woman in the crowd shouted loudly, and then said to the people of the Zhao family: "When a woman gets married, she is not sold to you. Why don't you treat her as a human being? You can beat her and scold her as you want! She acts like a coward to others, and then goes home to show off and wave her fists in front of people at home. Bah!"

"that is!"

"well said!"

"roll!"

"Leave far away!"

Most of the people who echoed the call were women, some with weak voices, some with loud voices. They gathered into a torrent, silencing the men.

The constant shouts of expulsion made the Zhao family feel ashamed. Zhao Xiongbang, who was already old, was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he was trembling and leaning back as if he was about to fall down.

"Grandpa!" The village chief's grandson gritted his teeth and said to Tang Xu, "Miss, you are really good at talking. Let's go."

The farce ended with the Zhao family leaving, but Tang Xu's reputation spread completely. The man avoided her like the plague and asked people in the house to have less contact with her, for fear that she would be instigated to run away. Even his temper seemed to have been restrained a lot.

However, women had a very good impression of her, and her glorious story of breaking a man's hand was spread more and more outrageously by some people.

In the end, she developed a natural hatred for men and would break the hand of anyone she saw.

Some people privately called her a she-devil, and her portrait shop completely lost business.

Tang Xu was very worried when he heard this rumor.

What should the kindergarten do now? Who would dare to hand over a child to someone who is rumored to be a female demon?

But after a few days, many women came to the door and asked to work, including some unmarried young girls.

It's not impossible. Education teachers need a certain level of education, but life teachers only need to be careful and patient. Of course, the most important thing is to like children.

Yu Xiaotao's best friend refused the request because her husband disagreed.

"It's okay. There are quite a lot of people here." Tang Xu comforted Yu Xiaotao.

"Well, there's nothing I can do if I don't come." Yu Xiaotao smiled and turned to talk about another thing, "Since the mayor is gone, there have been a lot of hooligans on the streets recently. I don't know when someone will come to take charge."

Tang Xu didn't notice this, frowned and asked, "What bad things did those bastards do?"

"Not yet. They just flirt with young girls who go out alone and eat at stalls without paying." Yu Xiaotao thought of Qi Qing, "I have to talk to Qi Qing, be careful of these people."

Hiding is not a solution, we have to teach them a lesson. Tang Xu was just trying to verify how well she had learned, she secretly thought, I'll use you to practice and get rid of the harm for the people!

But where can he find these people? Tang Xu's solution is to wander the streets alone. If he encounters them, he can beat them up with a legitimate reason.

For this matter, Tang Xu even took two days off to walk around the streets. But those people knew her reputation from somewhere and turned around and ran away when they saw her!

"Why are you running? You're a bunch of cowards!" Tang Xu chased them for two steps, but they ran even faster. In fact, not only those hooligans, but even people on the street would avoid Tang Xu as much as possible.

Now that he saw her chasing the gangster, he was even more terrified, fearing that she disliked him and would cut off one of his hands.

So the rumors about Tang Xu became even more outrageous, saying that she was chasing people on the street and beating them up, and wanted to cut off someone's hand.

The reputation of the Half-armed Yaksha became more and more famous.

Tang Xu complained to Du Yun angrily, "That's too much! How could I chase someone and cut off their hand? I'm not crazy!"

Du Yun couldn't help laughing, stroking her back and comforting her: "Don't be angry, don't be anxious, I'll think of a way."

"What can you do? It's easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them." Tang Xu said dissatisfiedly: "Who spread it? If I knew, I would beat him up!"

"How is the kindergarten enrollment going?" Du Yun changed the subject, fearing that she would get angry and hurt herself.

At this point, Tang Xu became even angrier. "Some people were willing to send it to me, but once my reputation spread, they were scared away!"

"I have an idea." Du Yun said.

Tang Xu was worried, so he immediately pulled his hand and said, "Tell me what I want to hear!"

Du Yun took the opportunity to pinch her fingers and play with them, enjoying the benefits that came to his doorstep. "Why not invite famous people to come and visit with their children? I've been there, and the children will definitely not refuse your kindergarten. And after talking to you, I'm sure they won't believe the rumors. As long as a few of them stay, more people will come."

Tang Xu frowned, "But I don't know these people. If I invite them, will they give me this face?"

Du Yun chuckled, looking somewhat pleased with himself, "You didn't have it, but now I do."

"Hmm?" Tang Xu looked at him. How could a teacher have such a great honor?

"I just found out yesterday that the magistrate asked Shanzhang to serve as the mayor of the town. Shanzhang declined due to being busy with work and recommended me to him." This position was not originally for Du Yun, as he was too young. But he had the title of Jieyuan, and he also had the influence of his master, so the magistrate reluctantly agreed.

"Mayor?!" Tang Xu was shocked. Her boyfriend, who was a teacher a few days ago, was suddenly promoted to mayor. "Congratulations! That's great!"

"From now on, I can also be a small support for you." Du Yun reached out and gently stroked her eyebrows. He liked this pair of eyes the most.

Tang Xu blinked subconsciously, her soft eyelashes brushing against Du Yun's fingertips. She said, "Even if you're not the mayor, you can still be my backer."

"It's different. Although the mayor is not worth mentioning, he can let you do more of what you want to do." Du Yun leaned down gently, kissed her brow, and sighed against her forehead: "I really want to get married soon, so that I can see you every day when I open my eyes."

Such a cherished and passionate kiss made Tang Xu's cheeks flush with heat, burning her head a little dizzy. She whispered softly: "It's almost time. There is more than a month left. We will get the marriage certificate at the end of the month."

"Yeah." Du Yun held her in his arms, but he still felt anxious. "I am anxious."

"Actually, I also..." Tang Xu was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and rubbed his cheek gently in Du Yun's arms.

It would be great if we could get married tomorrow, they both thought at the same time.

The invitation was written by Du Yun, the new mayor of the town. I think everyone would be willing to give him this face, and there is no need to force it if they don't want to.

The banquet will be arranged by Tang Xu, and he can just let Du Yun know once the time is confirmed.

After Du Yun left, Tang Xu thought, this was really like a soft pillow being delivered to you when you were dozing off - it was both coincidental and very satisfying.

It's just that it's not easy to organize a beautiful and elaborate banquet. Tang Xu has never participated in one, let alone hosted one. She looked at Tang Ling. She definitely didn't have this experience, and Yu Xiaotao and Dong Wanwan were even less likely to do so.

So the next day, Tang Xu brought gifts and went to Mrs. Du to ask for her help.

"I knew you would come to me." Old Madam Du took her hand and explained the precautions to her in detail. She even analyzed the preferences of the powerful families in the town with her.

Tang Xu was confused by what he heard, and his mind was full of question marks. The Du family lived in this ordinary Xiaorong Lane. Except for the larger house and a few servants, they were almost no different from the people around them.

How come Mrs. Du knows all these people's personalities and preferences so well?

But then she became completely busy, and was taken by Mrs. Du to eat at all the famous restaurants in the city, to experience their service and taste the dishes. As a result, Mrs. Du told her that when choosing a restaurant, the taste is not the most important thing, the people behind the restaurant are more important.

She opened the Du family's storehouse and took Tang Xu to see the rare toys and jewelry, and went to the county town to look at the fashionable styles, and to the cloth shop to look at the precious fabrics and the latest clothes.

This was like opening the door to a new world for Tang Xu. Are there so many particulars about these things? What material and origin, which craftsman made them... and so on. But what shocked her even more was that the Du family was really rich! She had only seen the things in the warehouse on TV before.

Tang Xu has been miserable these days. His mind is filled with things every day, and he also has to find time to train the kindergarten staff.

Du Yun hadn't shown up for several days, and he no longer had time to do his job as a teacher, so he quit.

The first thing he did after taking office was to find someone to capture that gang of hooligans, teach them a lesson, and then have them tied up in a chain and paraded through the streets.

"I am shameless, I am guilty, I eat and take things for free without paying." A string of rice dumplings was pressed down by a yamen runner and he shouted as he walked.

This peculiar scenery immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's those bastards, right?"

"Who arrested him?"

"It's said that there is a new mayor. Well done. Deserved!"

"Great! That's it! Let them all see!"

"They just didn't pay for the wontons yesterday!"

"Can we ask them to return it?"

"Would it be helpful to talk to the new mayor?"

"Let's try! Who is the new mayor? Where does he live?"

As soon as the new mayor arrived, he punished a few hooligans, paraded them through the streets, beat them with a stick, and demanded that they return the money. He immediately became famous and everyone praised him.

Especially those in Xiaorong Lane, they were all proud of it. They were much more enthusiastic towards Tang Xu and his family than before. Everyone living nearby knew that the Du and Tang families were already relatives.

Sure enough, the best way to curb rumors is not to refute them, but to find something new to divert people's attention. Not many people believe in such outrageous rumors, but they just don't want to get involved because of face.

The kindergarten has not been open to the children for some time, so Tang Xu asked them to keep the environment clean while training them.

All the people who came here were women, most of them were pale and thin, while there were a small number of people who were not too poorly off and had a good family background. The two groups were clearly distinguished just by their appearance.

Tang Xu didn't have any good solution for the time being, but she believed that as long as life became easier, people would slowly grow flesh and blood. Just like Xingzi, she was very different from half a month ago.

Wang Chunhua gradually adapted to the life here. Xingzi took turns to take care of her baby, and Zhao Laier played with Qingqing and Lele. The three little girls were very good friends.
