Giancarlo, who was a shouty, burly man with a stout torso and a rather short-tempered temper, came out of the crowd with a serious and frightening face. Anna's parents usually seemed to be friendly and got along well with their neighbors, even if they did not have close friendships. This was the first time everyone had seen Giancarlo so angry. And when the neighbors saw this scene, they stepped aside because they were gossips who spent every day chatting over tea and had no intention of making trouble.
The first to support Agnes was a young woman, but seeing that all the neighbors had already moved away, she helped her up and said quickly, "Agnes, get up and good luck."
After she had finished speaking, she too turned away from Agnes.
"Why did you become such cowards, leaving me behind like this? Everyone was afraid of Giancarlo, but Agnese straightened her back and said, "Giancarlo, you are just in time, as you taught your daughter, that you let her go around saying slanders without any proof? I watched her grow up as a child and I am like her mother, even though I am getting old and have no children by my side, you can't do what you want with me ....
Amelia, who stood behind Giancarlo, heard Agnes' words; she could not tolerate this rogue.
"She remembered that the blind date she had arranged for her daughter had been the worst, and now she was making a mess in front of these people, and if the whole neighborhood found out, how would the reputation of her Galli family and her daughter be?
Thinking about this, Amelia said sarcastically, "Look, ma'am, I admit that you introduced my daughter to a boy and watched her grow up when she was very young, but what do you mean you are like her mother?
So are we not her parents or what?
Agnes did not expect me to react like that, and was silent for a moment, -Don't take it so seriously, I just mean that she has to respect elders like me?
-If you are not her mother, you have no right to give orders to our daughter,‖ Amelia stepped forward and pushed her husband aside.
With many years of experience, she already knew how to treat a woman like Agnes.
For a long time already, the two people had heard that this woman was always speaking ill of them. Now Amelia was getting angrier and angrier, so she gave her an ultimatum and said, "By the way, I heard that you are besmirching my daughter's honor by saying that she has a boyfriend while she asked you to introduce her to another one, can't you tell right from wrong? At first we disagreed about the blind date, but you decided on your own to call this Hector and went to the spaghetti restaurant to find Anna to introduce him to her. What do you mean it was my daughter who asked you to introduce her to a boy? Also, ma'am, you said that my daughter's boyfriend had hit Hector and at that time he was in the hospital with dozens of broken ribs, that's not true either, is it?
Anna stood to one side staring at her mother. After hearing these words, she felt very satisfied and at the same time more confident. She thought that her parents would be more concerned about fame and would not make the matter public, and that they would settle it in private, but she did not expect that they would argue with this woman.
-Amelia, explain to me! What do you mean I don't know right from wrong?
-Did you go to the restaurant to arrange the blind date?
There were many witnesses! If you won't even admit that, it seems like everything you just said is slander, doesn't it?
-All right, but so what? Didn't I do it for your daughter? Hector is a very good boy, now he's in the hospital because of you, what a pity.
-Agnese, don't change the subject, let's talk straight. Why did you tell all those lies? What's the reason? Hector's story isn't true either, is it? Let's call the police directly to see what really happened.
