Li Xiaoqin's words were also much more beautiful.
She admitted that Hu Lili had added more dishes to the meal, but she had never eaten it and couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.
Looking at the dissatisfaction on the face of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, it was obvious that the food was not tasty.
But it wasn’t the Shen family who said it tasted bad; it was someone else’s idea.
Even if this matter eventually got out, it would be Hu Lili's stinginess that would be criticized, but it wouldn't be used to say anything bad about the Shen family.
There was another more gossipy one. She asked Wang Huilian slyly, "Hu Zhiqing is so good-looking, doesn't your eldest son have any opinion about her?"
Speaking of this, Wang Huilian remembered the slap from Shen Chunshu, and the smile on her face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly disappeared.
"What's the point of having such a pretty face? You can tell at a glance that she can't do any heavy work. I look down on her!"
"People in our village still need to find a daughter-in-law who is strong enough to work in the fields and give birth to a son to serve her parents-in-law."
"Look at Hu Zhiqing, is she the right material?"
Wang Huilian's words were recognized by several other people.
The person who asked the question just now nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes sense. You don't know that since these educated youth came to our village, those unmarried young men have all set their eyes on the three educated youth girls."
"Haven't you noticed that there have been a lot of people coming and going in front of your house recently?"
Wang Huilian really hadn't noticed this. She turned around and asked Li Xiaoqin, "Is this true?"
Li Xiaoqin shook her head. She hadn’t noticed it either!
Besides, there is a road right at the door, so isn’t it normal for others to pass by?
"Oh, look at the expressions of your two sisters-in-law. I know you are still in the dark."
"Wait for this time. Pay attention. Those who pass by your house are all young men. They are all looking forward to a chance encounter with Hu Zhiqing who lives in your house."
After saying this, she and the other person next to her looked at each other and smiled, both with gossipy looks in their eyes.
Li Xiaoqin was also a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Hu Lili was so charming that she could attract all the men in the village to come and take a look at her!
As a woman, how could Li Xiaoqin be happy when her man sees Hu Lili every day?
Wang Huilian's face looked very bad, and Shen Chunshu's special concern for Hu Lili made her feel uncomfortable.
Li Xiaoqin raised her hand to smooth her hair and said with a smile, "This educated youth Hu has only been here for a few days and he is already attracting so many men. This is not a good thing!"
"After all, who doesn't have a man? Never mind whether he's a young man or not. All men are the same. When they are eighty years old, as long as he can move and has the conditions, he will want to marry an eighteen-year-old girl!"
Although this statement did not name anyone, it included all the men in the village.
Li Xiaoqin wanted to tell them not to think that they could gloat over their misfortune and sleep soundly just because Hu Lili didn't live in their house.
If she can seduce young men to hang around the Shen family, then it is not impossible for her to attract older ones.
Sure enough, the faces of the women who came to visit the Shen family all looked a little stiff.
Thinking of the look on her husband's face when he saw Hu Lili, she began to feel puzzled.
"Look at that Hu Lili. She looks like a fox spirit. She twists her body when she talks. You can tell she's not a serious person."
"Yes, yes, I think so too. Especially when she spoke, her voice was so soft that if you didn't know her, you would think she was a lady from an ancient family who never left the house!"
Without waiting for Wang Huilian and Li Xiaoqin to say anything, several people who came to visit spontaneously slandered Hu Lili.
After the provocation, Li Xiaoqin lowered her head and smiled. She would not allow others to laugh at the Shen family in front of her.
Because that would also be considered as making fun of her.
Now Hu Lili has become the public enemy of all the women in the village. Who else would dare to gloat over her misfortune?
Several women chatted at Shen's house for a while, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, they all got up and left.
When the Shen family finished their second meal, Li Xiaoqin asked Old Man Shen for his opinion on what to bring and how much to bring when returning home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
"Dad, tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year. Qiu Shu and I just got married. What should I get when I go back to my parents' house tomorrow?"
In fact, this issue used to be the responsibility of Old Lady Wang, but she is a disabled person now, so Li Xiaoqin can only ask Old Man Shen.
Before Old Man Shen could decide what to bring, Li Xiaoqin spoke up again, "I don't think we need to bring too many things. After all, they are my parents. Can they pick on my gifts?"
"But this year, it's Qiu Shu's first time to pay New Year's greetings. If I go empty-handed, it will be a loss of face for Qiu Shu and the Shen family. Dad, don't you think so?"
Li Xiaoqin changed the return gift from giving things to her mother's family to a matter of face for Shen Qiushu and the Shen family, which forced Old Man Shen to take it seriously.
Especially since he and the third son’s wife’s father had been competing with each other for a long time!
Old Man Shen made the final decision: "Then take two catties of sorghum flour and half a catty of sugar!"
Before Li Xiaoqin could say anything, Wang Huilian said, "What? You're taking candy? Candy is such a valuable thing, and you're just giving it to the third son's wife's family for nothing?"
"When I first got married, I went back to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and my mother asked me to take two kilograms of corn kernels! My second son's wife even went back empty-handed!"
Wang Huilian was very dissatisfied. Why should the third son’s wife’s gift be more valuable than hers and Li Xiang’s?
Li Xiaoqin looked at Wang Huilian with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. When you and Sister-in-law got married, what was the situation like then? What is the situation like now?"
