Chapter 204: Vigorous and High-spirited

She wanted to let Zhao Hehua know that she, Lin Xia, was not a fool.

When she arrived at her sister-in-law's house, she saw several sisters-in-law there, including Zhao Xianglan. Lin Xia smiled and felt relieved. This was really great. She was a little worried that Zhou Hong didn't like to spread gossip, but with Zhao Xianglan there, she was not worried anymore.

A few people were a little surprised to see Lin Xia. Normally, Lin Xia didn't hang out with them much, and seldom came to the family building, so it was rare for her to come now.

"Come on, come and sit down. Why are you here? You're such a rare guest." Zhou Hong hurriedly greeted Lin Xia when she saw her coming. Someone gave her a chair and she sat on a small stool.

Lin Xia smiled and thanked her sister-in-law for giving her the seat, took out the dried fruit she brought and handed it to her, saying, "I came here today to trouble you, sister-in-law. The pickled cabbage you make is really good."

Zhou Hong opened it and saw a big bag of dried fruits inside. She was very happy when she heard what Lin Xia said. The sauerkraut was grown by herself, so it only cost a little salt, so it didn't cost much money.

This big bag of dried fruits really attracted the attention of children. Her children had eaten them a lot at Lin Xia's house before, and she also learned how to make them. This thing takes time and costs money to make without an oven, so she can only make some for the children occasionally. It is not something particularly rare, but fruits do cost money.

Zhou Hong said with a smile on her face: "I feel so embarrassed. Just wait, I will pack the sauerkraut for you." Then she turned around and went to work.

Seeing that she was about to leave immediately, Lin Xia hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, take it after you leave. I'm usually too lazy to come out. It's not easy to meet the sisters-in-law together, so let's chat first."

"That's right, Hong'er, why don't you share some with us!" One of the sisters-in-law smelled the sweet aroma of dried fruits and started laughing.

"Yes, yes, don't be stingy with so much, share some with us." The few people were very familiar with each other and didn't bother to be polite with Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong smiled and glared at a few people, then gave each of them a piece and said, "You guys are really lucky." Then she smiled and said to Lin Xia, "Next time you come, you must avoid them. They are a group of 'robbers'."

This was just a joke. Lin Xia laughed. The others didn't care about being criticized and just kept chewing the dried fruits with a smile.

How could this group of women not talk about gossip when they sat together? They talked about the same things, including Su Qiuhua's divorce. Zhou Hao had retired from the army and returned home, and the two had divorced smoothly. Su Qiuhua also moved out of the family quarters, but it was not known whether she returned to her hometown or somewhere else.

Lin Xia had only heard about the divorce before, but now she knew some of the details. The sisters-in-law described it so vividly, as if they were present at the scene of the divorce.

After chatting for a while, the topic turned to Zhao Hehua, and one sister-in-law sighed: "Poor child, she lives like a maid."

When she heard Zhao Hehua's name and the sigh, Lin Xia knew that they were talking about the daughter left by Captain Hu's ex-wife. She had heard that she had not gone to school and had not found a job. She stayed at home to take care of Zhao Hehua every day.

Lin Xia was listening on the side and felt very contemptuous for Captain Hu. She didn't expect that he looked like a decent person, but his family was like this. Seeing him begging Zhao Hehua to give him the baby, she thought he was a good person, but she didn't expect that he would treat his own daughter like this.

Seeing that the sisters-in-law were about to change the subject, Lin Xia groaned, touched her belly with one hand and supported her waist with the other, as if she was feeling uncomfortable.

The sisters-in-law looked over and found that Lin Xia had nothing on her belly. The others didn't know. Zhao Xianglan asked with concern, "Does your waist feel uncomfortable? This big belly does hurt your waist. You have to pay attention and don't get a backache."

At this time, a sister-in-law from the morning asked in confusion: "Why don't you bring that?" and gestured with her hands.

Zhou Hong was also confused. Thinking of what happened in the morning, she asked tentatively, "Didn't Zhao Hehua return it to you?"

Lin Xia first responded to the sister-in-law's words, "I made a support belt and lent it to Zhao Hehua as a model. She had been wearing it before, but not recently."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Hong again, "She hasn't returned it yet. Maybe she forgot."

There was nothing weird about his expression, just a very natural look, as if he was not in the least anxious for Zhao Hehua to borrow it.

One sister-in-law learned that Lin Xia had lent it to Zhao Hehua for three days. She snorted and said with disdain, "It's impossible for her to forget. I live next door to her. I was cooking before and happened to be out of soy sauce, so I borrowed some from her. But she was afraid that I wouldn't return it. She borrowed it for lunch and asked me if I had bought soy sauce when she saw me in the afternoon."

"She has such a good memory, how could she forget and not return it?" If she really forgot, would she not be able to remember it when she saw it?

The sister-in-law and Zhou Hong who were present in the morning looked at each other. They clearly heard Zhao Hehua say that she would return it later, but they didn't expect that she hadn't returned it yet.

Lin Xia looked surprised when she heard this and said, "Did she lie to me? I've been waiting for her at home all morning."

"Then you can go to her house later and ask. Anyway, you have already walked to the family quarters, and it is not easy for you to go upstairs with such a big belly." A sister-in-law suggested. Isn't this just perfect?

Others also nodded and asked her to go and ask.

Lin Xia smiled embarrassedly, "Which household is she from? I haven't been to her house yet."

"That's easy. I'll take you there later. Be careful when you go up the stairs." A sister-in-law agreed enthusiastically.

"That's a big trouble for you, sister-in-law."

When the others saw her speaking so softly, they immediately forgot how Lin Xia had been arguing with others in the past, and they all supported her and said they would go together later.

Lin Xia was amused by their words and thought to herself that these sisters-in-law were so adorable. Although some of them loved gossip and had other minor flaws, they were sometimes particularly cute and simple.

With new inspiration, everyone continued to discuss Zhao Hehua. Their past background was very detailed, starting from what they did when they came to the family quarters, everything about her could be said to have been completely exposed.

But what they talked about most was the bad things that Zhao Hehua did to her stepdaughter after she married Captain Hu. The adults might not do that, but they would scold her. Captain Hu didn't care and only cared about the baby in Zhao Hehua's belly, as if the previous child was not his own.

After talking about this family's gossip, they started talking about other families' gossip. Lin Xia was tired of hearing all the gossip.

But one must not underestimate the fighting power of these sisters-in-law. Lin Xia suspected that these sisters-in-law knew her very well. Maybe they were too embarrassed to say it because she was present, but they must have been talked about behind her back. Lin Xia didn't care, because gossip was something that could not be stopped.

The time for chatting was almost up, Zhou Hong packed some sauerkraut for Lin Xia, and a group of people pushed Lin Xia upstairs and headed straight for Zhao Hehua's house, looking so heroic and confident that other people heard the noise and stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

Seeing this situation, I thought there was going to be a fight, so I followed them immediately as if there was something interesting to watch.

Who says there are few entertainment activities at this time? The daily entertainment is just gossiping and watching the fun.
