Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng heard villagers discussing the Wang family as they returned to the Guan’s Village. Granny Wang was quite unreconciled after Wang Cheng drove them out, so she once again spread rumors during their absence. This time, she said that Papa Wang was not willing to take responsibility for his parents and drove them out of the house. She put the hat of unfilial piety on Papa Wang’s head. Now, whenever villagers saw Wang Cheng’s household, they would think ‘so this is how society is today, parents can not take care of their children, but their children still have to take care of them’. Once he entered the house, Wang Cheng saw Papa Wang and Mama Wang sitting in the living room with wronged expressions.
"Chengcheng, Xiao Chu, you guys are back. Have you had lunch? Do you want me to cook a meal for you?" Mama Wang stood up and poked Papa Wang with a finger, and the two of them quickly acted as if nothing had happened.
"No need, Mother, we’ve already eaten." Wang Cheng pressed Mama Wang back down onto the sofa. "I have heard that Granny and the others have come out to make trouble again."
Mama Wang sighed, "Your mother went to the jam factory today and found that several workers did not come to work; some said they had family emergencies while others said they were sick. Also, your third aunt just called and said that many people over at the jam shop are saying that your dad is unfilial, so fewer and fewer customers are buying jam."
"It seems that my eldest uncle and the others were well prepared."
"We can’t continue like this. Do you have any ideas, Chengcheng? Your dad does not even dare to step out of the door with things like this."
If they couldn’t put an end to the rumors, they would have to move away. However, they were both used to this neighborhood and didn’t want to move again after they’d recently moved.
Wang Cheng put his arms around Mama Wang's shoulders and hugged her. "Dad, Mother, don't worry. I found a permanent solution to this problem when I went out this morning."
