The Mouth Ghost finally understood. Susie may look like a child, but she was anything but simple. The several evil ghosts behind her were all her subordinates! It was like a dream.
When he resisted, he resisted fiercely. When he surrendered, he surrendered smoothly, repeatedly saying, "I'll talk, I'll talk." At this time, the Mouth Ghost saw the ghosts behind the child change positions. Susie squatted to the side and took out a candy from her pocket. The Flower Heart Ghost, the Unfortunate Ghost, and the coward ghost were holding sunflower seeds, squatting or standing, with a look of listening to a story, waiting for him to speak.
"I'm called Chen Song... born in XX year, XX county..."
The place where the Mouth Ghost lived and grew up was a small county, not a very large place. Today, if someone's son-in-law cheats, it will be spread throughout the town the next day.
"One day, I was walking on the street and saw a hotel in front of me. It turned out that someone was getting married."
"I went over to take a look and saw the bride and groom's photos at the door of the hotel... When I looked, I found that the bride was so beautiful!"
The Mouth Ghost remembered and seemed to think of the girl's beauty, and his expression became a little infatuated. But soon his face fell.
"Then what?" Susie asked, eating candy in her mouth.
"I saw that the woman was beautiful, but the man was just average, so I couldn't help but say a word..." The Mouth Ghost said embarrassedly, "Oh, isn't this Technician No. 8? Did you come back from the city after earning enough money? It's time to pass the baton to an honest person!""
Flower Heart Ghost heard this and was speechless, "They were getting married, and you went to their door and said that. How shameless of you!"
The Mouth Ghost pursed his lips and muttered, "I was just joking. Who asked that woman to be so beautiful, but found such a short and inferior man... From the look of the wedding, the man didn't seem to be very rich, so I was just joking..."
The coward ghost frowned, his voice carrying the unique gentleness of a teenager but also reprimanding, "You judge others based on just one photo. Your thoughts are too dirty!"
The Unfortunate Ghost also spat, "Did you see them washing their feet? How can you say they are Technician No. 8?"
Suddenly, Susie interrupted, "What's wrong with washing feet? What is Technician No. 8?" There was curiosity on her baby face.
Ryan was originally standing on the side, watching Susie step on something and murmuring to himself, feeling unsure. During the small window when Susie was talking to the Mouth Ghost, he sent a message to his older brother Martin inquiring about it, but all he got was a concise and powerful reply, "Don't bother her." Ryan had no choice but to stand by and wait, and ended up hearing Susie mention washing feet and the eighth technician. He was taken aback and wondered who she was talking to and who had taught his little niece such things.
"Ahem! Susie..." Ryan's heart was breaking. "Don't ask such questions, kid."
Susie remained silent.
It was the same old response.
Unfortunately, Ryan couldn't see the ghost.
The Fickle ghost explained with a smile, "Washing feet, the eighth technician, it means..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the coward ghost and the Unlucky Ghost covered her mouth from left and right.
The ugly ghost sighed, "You should be more sensible..."
The Fickle ghost said, "Mmmph!" She didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to explain it subtly.
Susie looked at Mitch.
Mitch remained expressionless and spoke calmly, "It means washing someone else's feet, which is a bit insulting, implying that the girl is not pure."
Susie asked, "What does 'not pure' mean?"
Ryan was panicking, looking around helplessly, and getting more and more agitated.
The coward ghost coughed and said gently, "It's like your stepmother, destroying other people's families and pretending to be innocent and kind, then finding the next person to cause trouble."
Susie suddenly realized how bad it was!
She looked at the Mouth Ghost, who had made the person sound so bad, and was sure that she would be beaten up.
"So, what happened? Did you get beaten to death?" Susie asked.
The Mouth Ghost hesitated to speak, then sighed, "I was just joking, took a picture on a whim and left..."
But this sentence was not funny at all. Soon, guests who overheard the conversation began to whisper to each other, and within half an hour, the news spread throughout the banquet. It was said that when the bride and groom exchanged rings and kissed on stage, there was a lot of booing and hissing from the audience below.
The Mouth Ghost said, "Later, I heard from others that someone got married yesterday, and they had a fight with their wife on the second day because she had done foot washing before."
Susie was angry, "You caused all of this!"
The Fickle ghost sneered, "And then what happened?"
The Mouth Ghost silently said, "I heard others talking like that, and I was excited to join in the fun..."
So, he uploaded the photos he took that day to his online space. About a decade ago, when short video platforms were not yet popular, the most popular platform was the Tencent QQ space.
The Mouth Ghost posted the photo of the bride and groom on his space, and jokingly wrote, "[Technician #8] got married, feeling lost... Ah, remembering the countless deep conversations, exchanges, and sparks that we had in the late night, my heart is extremely melancholy and sad..."
Sexual rumors are the easiest to spread.
In less than a night, the Mouth Ghost's space was reposted countless times.
The girl who had just gotten married inexplicably bore the blame and her reputation was ruined.
The girl was angry and posted on her space to prove her innocence, including detailed information about her work unit and work schedule, and proof that she had been working as an accountant in the county for the past few years.
"I just thought it was fun. Why did she get so upset? It's just a joke. The innocent will clear themselves. Why is she so anxious?" The Mouth Ghost said.
"I didn't even know about her, but after she posted her statement, I followed the clues and found her space, and looked through her photo album..."
As a result, he found that the girl was even more beautiful without makeup. She had fair skin, red lips, white teeth, and a pure and good-looking appearance with a lot of talisman.
"I couldn't help but download that photo and posted another space post..."
"Don't you all say anything anymore. Can't people have a past?" The Mouth Ghost wrote.
The womanizer remained silent.
The unlucky one, remained silent.
The coward remained silent.
The other ghosts remained silent.
This is really too much, so despicable?
No, this shouldn't even be called being talkative, it's called spreading rumors!
"Are you crazy?" The womanizer angrily scolded.
The Mouth Ghost was embarrassed and said, "It's just a joke. She didn't do anything, so what's there to be afraid of?"
The ghosts remained silent.
Susie remained silent.
Although the baby didn't know anything about the adult world, the baby still felt that this ghost was very despicable.
"And then?" Susie chewed on her candy and swallowed it, unable to resist licking her fingers.
The Mouth Ghost's face became even more embarrassed. He knew that this was not just a joke.
"Then I didn't expect many people to comment below my post saying, 'I had the privilege of experiencing it.' 'Technician #8 is pretty good.' 'Technician #8's service is good and professional.' 'It's just a bit expensive, 8,000 dollar per night.'..."
It's like seeing a broken window, and some passersby, who are full of malice, throw a stone to join the commotion.
And then, the originally intact glass around the broken window also broke piece by piece...
The innocent girl's reputation was ruined overnight and could no longer be explained.
