Chapter 106 Aunt Xu’s Small Goal

Yan Yuying laughed out loud: "Mom, it's not just a mouth problem."

Mrs. Yang said, "Yes, and this broken brain. You don't even have it, so don't pretend to be smart. You're still feeling sentimental, but what are you feeling sentimental about? You're just an idiot. You were led astray by just a few words from others, and you're still gloating here. Do you think everyone else is stupid and you're the only one who's smart?"

Yan Yuying smiled and said, "Well said, Mom! When you get married, you have to be as discerning as I am. Not only do you have to find a good husband, but you also have to find a good mother-in-law! It's not easy to find a mother-in-law as sensible and kind as you. It would be great if she was half as good as you."

Mrs. Yang raised her lips and squinted her eyes: "That's right."

That person: “…”

If you say he is stupid, how smart are you?

However, he modestly asked: "Sister-in-law, please analyze for me how he led me astray? Let me learn from him and be smarter in the future."

"Want to know?"

"think."

Mother Yang said, "Yuying, tell him."

Yan Yuying smiled and said, "He went back so early not because he didn't have a Spring Festival holiday. He went home after doing housework and waiting on people for a few days. He couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get rid of it quickly, so he hurried back to the army. Not only did he deceive you, he also wanted to use you."

"How did he take advantage of me?"

"Didn't you say something good for him just now?"

That person: “…”

Soon, the news that Zheng Guoqiang could no longer bear the torture and exploitation of the Zheng family and was forced to return to the army early on the second day of the Lunar New Year spread.

Aunt Xu got involved in this. She often chatted with people and analyzed the situation of the Zheng family.

Xie Yun's family received her once.

Aunt Xu came to visit specially and told Zhang Ruifeng about the Zheng family's faults.

"This Zheng Laosan has truly seen the world and is quite good at flattering himself. He's clearly been tortured to the point of being unable to bear it by his own family, yet he lets it all out as if nothing has happened. When outsiders hear this, they think the Zheng family is so loving and that he's so filial. He truly embodies the saying 'don't air your dirty laundry in public!'"

Zhang Ruifeng laughed and said, "It's his own fault. Why would he brag about it? Anyone who doesn't understand the situation will definitely be easily deceived by him."

"That's right. Luckily the five beauties jumped out of the fire pit early."

Aunt Xu not only spoke about it in the village, she also asked Old Xu to speak about it at the commune.

Lao Xu is usually not at home and does not take a holiday during the Spring Festival, but he still spends New Year's Eve at home.

Aunt Xu warned him to find an opportunity to tell his colleagues and friends about the Zheng family's inhumane behavior and to be careful not to be deceived.

Lao Xu: “…”

He didn't even know his daughter had broken off the engagement until he came back for the New Year's Eve dinner.

This is just like when a child gets engaged, he only finds out about it after the engagement.

Aunt Xu looked at his wooden figure who couldn't even make a sound after being hit with three sticks and said, "I'm telling you, all the blame for the Wumei's broken engagement must be placed on the Zheng family. Of course, this is the truth, and it was originally their responsibility. You don't have to tell others about the Wumei's marriage to the Zheng family, just say bad things about the Zheng family. The worse the Zheng family is, the more innocent we are. The smaller the impact of the Wumei's broken engagement will be, do you understand?"

Lao Xu: “…”

Aunt Xu gave a strong prescription: "You have to think about Xu Cheng. The better our family's reputation is, the smoother Xu Cheng's marriage will be in the future. Do you understand?"

Lao Xu said, "I understand."

Aunt Xu: “…”

Bah! She knew that this man only had his son in his eyes, and he would only react when Xu Chengcheng was involved.

Old Xu returned to the commune on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

After the incident on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Xu made a special trip to the commune to share the news with him, adding some material to his gossiping career.

As for how many people Old Xu could tell these words, Aunt Xu didn't actually hold out much hope. After all, Old Xu was really dull.

Fortunately, there is not only Old Xu in the Xu family, but also four beautiful women who are already married.

When the four daughters returned for New Year's greetings, Aunt Xu had high hopes for them. "The Fifth Beauty and Zheng Lao San's marriage is off. Ultimately, your Fifth Sister suffered the loss. Even though I beat her up, I'm still angry. I can't swallow it."

My goal is this: from now on, every time Zheng Lao San says something, I'll let him brag about it. Unless he says something truly amazing, someone who can beat up the entire Zheng family the moment he walks in, I won't let him succeed. Got it?"

Four beauties: "!! Got it!"

The four beauties were much more capable than their father. After returning to their husband's house, they started spreading gossip immediately. Soon, the affairs of the Zheng family spread to the other four brigades except Liushutun.

The matchmaker, Old Dai, also took the initiative to intervene.

She was the matchmaker between Zheng Laosan and Xu Wumei. Later, they broke up and neither family contacted her. However, on the night of the broken engagement, Lao Dai still went to the Xu family and apologized to Aunt Xu.

After the news of the second day of the Lunar New Year spread, Old Dai declared she would no longer be a matchmaker for the Zheng family. She told everyone, regardless of whether it was Zheng Guoqiang or Zheng Lanping, not to ask her for a matchmaking position. She had been a matchmaker for so many years, boasting her vast knowledge and discerning eye for people. But she hadn't expected to suffer such a setback with the Zheng family. She had made a mistake.

This is a disgrace to her matchmaking career.

Regardless of whether Old Dai did this out of public or private motives, and regardless of whether she really didn't see it or was trying to restore her own reputation, objectively, she did deal a heavy blow to the Zheng family.

The atmosphere in the Zheng family suddenly became extremely tense.

Originally, Zheng Laosan's insistence on returning to the team early had already made the Zheng family very dissatisfied.

He told his family the same story, but no one in his family believed him.

We all eat from the same pot, so who doesn't know who? Isn't it just that things are going badly, you've lost face, and you still have to work, so you don't want to stay at home? It's just nice to say.

Now, the news has spread so widely and has had such a huge impact on the Zheng family that Li Aiyun almost wants to eat Zheng Laosan.

She complained to Old Man Zheng, "Look at your good son. He only took care of us for a few days, and he just quit. When we're really old and can't move, can we still count on him? He just left. Can't he just leave quietly? He played such a trick before leaving, and he's roasting Lan Ping on the fire. If he makes Lan Ping unable to marry into a good family in the future, I'll skin him alive!"

Old Man Zheng puffed on his pipe and said, "You too, what you and Lan Ping did directly cost him his wife and ruined his reputation. It's hard to say whether he will get married in the future.

It's already like this, and you still insist on making him do everything. The third brother has been at home for the past few days and has no time to rest. If it were me, I would leave too. You know he's been wronged and upset this time, can't you be nicer to him? What's wrong with giving him a sweet treat?

They had been beaten that day, but their injuries weren't severe enough to render them paralyzed. But the old woman insisted that she wanted to show the third son how much they had suffered for him, so she pretended to be sick in bed and forced him to leave.
