This kind of rumor, neither painful nor itchy, and not related to one's character, was mainly aimed at Wang Yongping, but since Wang Yongping wasn't in a hurry to get a wife at that time, these rumors really couldn't hurt him.
It was Wang Yongzhu who was incidentally implicated, and for a girl, reputation mattered a lot, especially since Wang Yongzhu's age was considered not young in peasant families, where girls of her age were generally already settled in their own homes.
After Wang Yongzhu's marriage arrangement was called off, Old Granny Zhang was relieved that her daughter wouldn't have to jump into the Song Family's pit of fire, but she was also anxious about the matter of reputation and took it very seriously.
When she first heard about this, how furious Old Granny Zhang was!
She picked up a broom and gave her son a vicious thrashing behind closed doors.
The thrashing made Wang Yongping almost question his life.
