"Meimei, is your sister-in-law dating someone?"
Meimei's mood was as bright as the warm spring sunshine. She lightly carried an exquisite net bag filled with daily necessities and snacks she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just as she was happily preparing to go home, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It turned out to be Grandma Hu Zi from next door.
I saw Grandma Huzi holding an old basket steadily in her right hand. Her face, which was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, had a smile on it at the moment. She walked straight towards Meimei.
However, when Meimei looked at that smile curiously, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.
Because no matter how you look at it, that smile reveals an uncomfortable meaning, as if the man is just watching the fun, and there is also a hint of sarcasm.
Meimei thought to herself: This old lady must be trying to get something out of me again! Humph, does she really think I'm the kind of heartless idiot who doesn't even use his brain when he goes out?
As the saying goes, every failure is a learning experience.
After going through so much, I will never be easily fooled and do stupid things again!
So, Meimei calmed down, met Grandma Hu's gaze, and said without flinching, "What's the matter, are you going to introduce a date to my sister-in-law? But this matter must be approved by my mother-in-law first! If she doesn't agree, no one dares to take the initiative! You have been a neighbor of our family for so many years, you should know my mother-in-law's temper very well!"
After saying that, Meimei deliberately straightened her chest, with a hint of confidence and determination in her eyes.
There was only a fake smile on Meimei's face, and it seemed that the smile only stayed on the surface and did not penetrate into the depths of her heart at all.
After she said this politely, she picked up the net bag in her hand without hesitation and walked forward with light steps.
Meimei in front was getting farther and farther away, and her figure gradually became blurred.
Hu Zinai, who was standing there, stared at Meimei's back viciously, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Suddenly, she spat at the receding figure, cursing, "I don't know when this little bastard got smart. She was so easy to fool before, but now even these three cannons can't fool her!"
Just like that, Hu Zi Nai cursed Mei Mei from head to toe, inside and out.
After scolding, Hu Zinai was still furious. She rolled her eyes, slung her basket over her shoulder, raised her legs and strode into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
At the same time, Meimei, who had walked a distance away, seemed to sense the malicious intent behind her. She turned her head slightly, spat fiercely at the roadside, and muttered in a low voice: "You old thing, bah! You like to eavesdrop on people's walls all day long when you have nothing to do. You only hear a few words and only understand a little. Then, as soon as you open your door, your stinky mouth covered with manure will start to talk nonsense in the alley, and always make trouble for her, saying things like Meimei doesn't have a brain when she goes out. Who would want to be fooled by her, hum!"
After saying that, Meimei quickened her pace and left.
If you want to make fun of her Zhou family, you’re dreaming.

"Jingjing, do you know about my sister-in-law's affairs?"
Meimei was leaning leisurely against the door frame of Jingjing's room. She seemed nonchalant, but in fact she had ulterior motives and wanted to take the opportunity to find out some useful information from Jingjing.
It is estimated that those gossipy old ladies on the streets who usually love to gossip and spread rumors can no longer contain their curiosity and excitement about the matter of the eldest sister-in-law. They start whispering and talking about it like a group of chirping sparrows.
At this rate of spread, it won’t be long before this matter reaches my mother-in-law’s ears as quickly as the annoying autumn wind.
And once the mother-in-law gets to know about this, this originally peaceful family will inevitably be in uproar, as if a strong earthquake had occurred and there will be no peace!
Jingjing stopped scrubbing clothes with her hands.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at her third sister-in-law - Meimei - who was standing by the door frame.
In fact, Jingjing knew very clearly in her mind why her third sister-in-law came to talk to her.
Doesn’t Jingjing hope that her sister-in-law can find a good man who is in love with her and satisfies her again?
After all, my sister-in-law is still young. If she could take this opportunity to rebuild her family and have another child, the whole family could live happily together and enjoy the joy of family life. What a happy and perfect thing that would be!
However, over the years, my mother has always been extremely sensitive and taboo about the issue of my eldest sister-in-law's remarriage.
I remember that during the Chinese New Year last year, a relative came to visit relatives and friends.
Seeing that my sister-in-law had a gentle personality, was honest and diligent in her work, the relative kindly suggested introducing her to someone who knew her well so that they could get to know each other.
Who would have thought that when my mother heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy, and she started to argue with the relative without saying a word.
Since then, no one dared to bring up the topic of my sister-in-law's remarriage in front of my mother.
But my mother was like a rooster whose tail was stepped on.
He glared at me with those aggressive eyes and immediately turned hostile...
Since then, no one dared to mention it again.
"Third sister-in-law, what does it matter if I know or not? I am not the only one who has the final say in this family. So, let's not worry about it. We can't do anything about it!"
Meimei sighed in a bad mood, "Jingjing, let me say something you don't want to hear. I think our mother was too harsh on the issue of sister-in-law's remarriage. My brother has been gone for so many years, and sister-in-law has been with him for so many years. The relationship between husband and wife is almost over. Now it's a new society. Sister-in-law has the right to start her new life again. This is her freedom, and no one can say anything about it. There are many widows remarrying nowadays. What's so shameful about it? Take the young widow across the street from my hometown. Her husband had an accident in the mine, but in less than half a year, she arranged another marriage and married herself off again in a grand manner. This works in feudal places like the countryside, and people can accept it. There is nothing that the mother-in-law can't accept."
What the third sister-in-law said makes sense.
Zhou Jingjing sat on a wooden stool, staring at one spot in a daze.
Seems to be thinking about something.
"Jingjing, you are our mother's only woman. They say that mother and daughter are connected by heart. You are fine. Please persuade our mother to let our sister-in-law go."
