Happy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the 7th.

Li Mingyu collapsed on the rattan chair in the main hall, howling at the top of his lungs: "Holiday! My dear vacation! How could you just leave like that!"

The more he howled, the more excited he became, even improvising:

"The seven days of National Day are like a fairyland,

In the blink of an eye, he became a small worker.

Yesterday I was still chewing pig's trotters,

I have to cook tomorrow morning!

Ah! I am the little cabbage in the field—a poor thing that was harvested before it even grew up!

Li Guifang was drying quilts in the yard. When she heard the ghostly howling, she almost dropped the clothesline.

She rolled her eyes. This wasn't her son at all; he was clearly a wild cat whose tail was stepped on!

"Why are you howling!" Li Guifang cursed through the window, "You're a singer, don't you know how unpleasant your hoarse voice is?

Huh? If you really have so much free time, go and shovel chicken shit for me!

Li Mingyu, who was performing in a Keyun-style manner just now, immediately became dispirited, like a widow who had been scolded for eighteen years, shrinking his neck and saying nothing in frustration.

After a while, he opened his little mouth and started talking again!

Seeing this, Li Guifang quickly hung up the last piece of clothing, carried her small cloth bag and walked out - she was afraid that her ears would get calluses if she stayed any longer!

Li Guifang didn't even turn around, and her pace quickened. These days, mothers have to learn to keep their ears to the ground, right?

Li Guifang trotted to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and heard chirping sounds from afar.

She quickly moved forward and snatched the melon seeds from Aunt Wang's hand: "Oh my God, I finally escaped!

My silly boy is crying at home, as if he has lost a lump of gold!

"What's going on?" Xie Dazui quickly moved a stone to offer his seat and handed over a handful of pumpkin seeds.

"What else can I do? The holiday is over, and it's time to go back to work!"

Li Guifang spat out a melon seed shell and said she was reluctant to part with it and was reminiscing about her lost vacation.

That howl was even more unpleasant than the braying of Old Zhang's donkey!

"Oh my!" Aunt Wang slapped her thigh, "My family is the same! He was still playing poker secretly in the middle of the night last night, and this morning he was as tired as a frost-bitten eggplant.

If he had no money in his pocket, I would have suspected that he went out to smoke opium last night!

Everyone complained about their own family's recklessness without hesitation!

As they talked, they started laughing, and the topic quickly turned to Du Meijuan's family.

Xie Dazui lowered his voice mysteriously: "Have you heard? The Wang family's house is for sale!"

"What?!"

"Which Wang family?" Several heads suddenly gathered in a circle.

"Who else?" Xie Dazui rolled his eyes. "The one at the Hongqi Street intersection! Didn't her husband drown in a cesspool a few days ago?"

Xie Dazui curled his lips, feeling a bit disgusted with his old friend who was so out of touch with the news!

"Oh my god!" Aunt Wang spat out the sunflower seeds from her mouth. "You're in such a hurry to sell the house before the funeral is even over? Even a widow has to pretend!"

"You're just pretending!" Xie Dazui spat, "Those jackals in the Wang family are always plotting to take over other people's houses." She suddenly lowered her voice, "I heard that Wang Lao Er brought some people..."

"Why is that? He doesn't want his wife anymore after his son died?" As soon as this question was asked, it was clear that this person was someone who had not heard of the gossip about Du Meijuan's family.

Everyone started talking at once and told the story again!

Aunt Wang quickly added the latest news: "They've been pushed too hard. Those heartless Wangs have caused trouble twice in the past few days! Last week they even smashed down the Du family's front door!"

Xie Dazui described the whole thing vividly, how the Wang family came to make trouble in the past few days, and then Du Meijuan's family came again, and how the two groups of people made trouble!

After hearing this, everyone sighed and said, "What a sin!"

Old Mrs. Zhao stomped the ground, leaning on her cane. "What a wonderful daughter! I'm so sorry. When she first came, she was so pretty and charming."

The dowry also included three turns and a ring, which is unique in our area. I didn't expect to enter such a family!

"Not only that, even the house we got married in was paid for by her family.

Even so, those shameless Wang family members still had the nerve to move in! Luckily, Du Meijuan had a good temper and didn't give in!

"Back then, when I was young and hot-headed, I could stop them. But now, as an orphan and a widow, I'm sure they'll be bullied to death."

"Oh, what a pity," Xie Dazui slapped his thigh. "That wedding was so joyous back then! Now, they're being bullied to the point of having to sell their house..."

Li Guifang was even more pointed, "tsk!" she said, "If it were you, the Du family shouldn't have married their daughter to the Wang family!"

"Yes, it's a shame for a young lady from Shanghai to marry into our family," everyone echoed.

"You must keep an eye on your daughters. You must never let them marry far away. Look at this young lady, she's being bullied after marrying into a place she's unfamiliar with!"

When Zhang Fengzhi saw this, she didn’t even hate her daughter and son-in-law who were living and eating for free at home so much anymore!

"It's true. Now those children who have been transferred to other places or obtained jobs from other places, do you think any of them are good?" After saying that, he looked at Li Guifang meaningfully!

"The first time I saw the eldest son of the Wang family, I knew he was not a good person," Aunt Wang said mysteriously.

He looks so gentle, but once I saw him secretly picking his nose and wiping it on the corner of the wall!

"Oh my!" Several old ladies were immediately shocked. "This is impossible. After all, he is a cadre and college student!"

"What's that?" Old Mrs. Zhao lowered her voice. "My daughter-in-law said she once saw him secretly pinching a saleswoman's hand at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
