Jiang Panyu's biggest hobby in life was eating melons (gossiping); she was like a 'gossiping weasel' in the fields, wherever there was gossip, there she was, active on the front lines o...
Chapter 24: Smuggling
It's not surprising that Lin Wumei likes to torture her daughter-in-law, but why does Gao's eldest sister-in-law torture her brother-in-law's wife?
You can find the answer by just calculating the age difference between Gao Shaolin, Gao Xiaohu and Gao Xiaoyu.
It is known that the two children are Gao Shaolin's offspring, and Gao Shaolin is about 25 years old this year. Gao Xiaohu and Gao Xiaoyu are nine and eight years old respectively.
That is to say, ten years ago, the fifteen-year-old Gao Shaolin, or even earlier, had already shouldered the responsibility of two wives, and had had affairs with the eldest sister-in-law of the Gao family.
Outsiders may not know about this, but the Gao family themselves know it very well, so it is obvious why Gao Shaolin's original wife was targeted by the eldest sister-in-law of the Gao family.
As for the incident of Gao family's daughter-in-law dying twice, it is hard to say whether it was an accident or a conspiracy.
Jiang Panyu has always liked to think of people's hearts as darker. She thinks there is nothing wrong with this, as it makes her more defensive.
Isn’t there an old saying that goes "You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others"?
After the Gao family's youngest daughter-in-law died, Gao Shaolin became a widower. Soon the Gao family began to arrange a marriage for their youngest son.
He didn't even think about the fact that his young daughter-in-law had caused two deaths, and he quickly forgot about it and wanted to marry a new wife.
The Gao family has had a bad reputation since then, and families who love their daughters are unwilling to marry into the Gao family.
Even though Gao Shaolin has a job as a doctor in the town hospital, his market value is still average.
Those who were willing to marry were those who wanted to sell their daughters and wanted a high bride price. The Gao family was reluctant to pay a high bride price, so the matter was stuck there.
Not long after that, Gao's eldest son went up the mountain to chop firewood.
However, he was mauled to death by a wild boar, leaving behind two children, a widow, two elderly people, and a sister-in-law who had to be supported by Gao Shaolin.
As a result, Gao Shaolin completely lost his market in the village.
What if I have a job? I have to support such a big family, and that little money a month is not enough.
Even those who wanted to sell their daughters for a high bride price were not willing to marry into the Gao family because the Gao family could not afford a high bride price.
Gao Shaolin has wasted his time and has not remarried until now, although he is in his twenties, which is not considered old.
But in this era, it is the norm for people in rural areas to get married in their teens. Those who are still unmarried in their twenties basically have various problems.
Then, under the influence of psychological suggestion, Tan Yanlu ignored all the wrong things and hastily agreed to the other party's proposal for Gao Shaolin, who was not wanted by any local people.
Then he began to have a bad reputation and was looked down upon by others. In the end, he had to use his tears and ginseng as a stepping stone for Gao Shaolin, and then died on the street.
So, it’s okay to do anything except being a loser. It’s a big loss. Tan Yanlu is undoubtedly a complete loser!
After the old stories of the Gao family were told, the aunts talked about Gao Shaolin again: "By the way, doesn't Gao Shaolin come back every month? Why haven't we seen him yet at this time of the month?"
"I know that." The speaker was Chen Lamei. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I heard that he went to the city to study and just came back these two days. I heard that Gao Shaolin was having a blind date in town."
"So what? The girls in our country don't like him, but the girls in town do! Could he be a marriage fraud?" Yang Guiying asked while wiping the sweat off her face with a towel.
"Ah, you don't know this, right? If you marry into the Gao family as a daughter-in-law, others will certainly look down on you.
What if he were to marry into the family? Gao Shaolin is not only good-looking, but he also has a job!"
Chen Lamei's words instantly attracted the attention of several people, and Yang Guiying suddenly became alert: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Chen Lamei said, "I just found out about this not long ago. You all know the pork man named Li in the town. His family gave birth to five daughters in one go and no sons. Now they want to keep their little daughter and find a son-in-law!
Although she is a daughter-in-law, the little girl will take over her father's job in the future. I heard that a teenage girl is good at butchering pigs.
Gao Shaolin went to their house for a blind date. If the relationship works out, life will be much better. He has no intention of coming back."
Jiang Panyu was quite surprised. Tan Yanlu did not have this part in her memory. Oh, no, maybe there was, but it was suppressed by the forced marriage by Mrs. Gao, so naturally no one mentioned Zhu Rou Li's daughter.
Yang Guiying was surprised and said, "Is this true? The Gao family is willing to let Gao Shaolin marry into the family. This is impossible.
The Gao family is now relying on Gao Shaolin's salary to support themselves. Without Gao Shaolin, the family will be left with nothing."
Chen Lamei looked disdainful and said, "So, Gao Shaolin kept this a secret from his family. In the final analysis, he just wanted to get rid of the burden of this family.
After all, these are all the descendants of the Gao family, they are selfish.
There weren't many educated people in our village back then, but the Gao family worked together to support Gao Shaolin to go to high school, so that he could get a job.
Now that his family needs his help, he wants to leave this family behind.
How can I put it? I think this is the retribution of the Gao family. If those girls were still alive, one of them would have lent a hand.
Life wouldn't be so difficult, and Gao Shaolin wouldn't be unable to find a wife until now."
"That's true. If those girls had been kept alive and were still alive today, they would have been married off and could have raised enough money for a dowry to help Gao Shaolin find a wife.
What a pity! He has always looked down on women, but now he can’t get her even if he kneels down to beg. This is karma.”
Yang Guiying said with some schadenfreude that she was happy to see the Gao family get into trouble, because Gao Shaolin's original wife and Yang Guiying were related.
At this time, another aunt who came over to listen to the gossip asked: "Hey, then you tell me, when will the Gao family find out what Gao Shaolin did?
If Lin Wumei goes to the hospital to cause trouble, will Gao Shaolin still be able to keep his job?"
“Who knows? However, since we know it, the Gao family probably knows it too. Let’s see if Gao Shaolin comes back in a few days.
If he comes back, it means that this matter cannot be accomplished. If he doesn't come back, it is estimated that this marriage will be successful.
And you didn’t forget, did you? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family is now a widow. You saw how revealing the look in the eyes of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gao family was when she looked at Gao Shaolin. She almost made it clear.”
Chen Lamei and the others smiled strangely, and there was ambiguity and visible sarcasm in their smiles.
Jiang Panyu understood it all at once. It seemed that Mrs. Gao was still thinking about Gao Shaolin. The villagers knew about it, but they just hadn't made it official yet.
Jiang Panyu knew that Gao Shaolin's plan to marry into the family would not succeed, and he would definitely come back, otherwise Gao Dasao's forced marriage would not have become known to the whole village.
Thinking of the upcoming farce, Jiang Panyu thought of Tan Yanlu's golden finger. It was really enviable. If he cried, he would get spiritual dew. If he drank one drop a day, wouldn't he be able to live to be 199!
To be honest, Jiang Panyu also wanted to have the same golden finger as Tan Yanlu, but it was a pity that the melon-eating system could not give her such a magical golden hand.
It is said that this will destroy the balance. As for why Tan Yanlu has it, it is because she is the protagonist, so it is normal for her to have some special props.
At noon, when work was over, Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu went home together.
On the way, Jiang Panyu told Tan Yanlu about the Gao family.
And he did not forget to add some personal stuff, for example: After becoming a widow, Mrs. Gao always missed Gao Shaolin, and Gao Shaolin was already a teenager and took on two wives, making Mrs. Gao a mother, and he even had a son and a daughter.
