Second Lai's mother snorted coldly:
"She doesn't care about that. She'd be happy if you just poured lead down her ass!"
"I've come up with a solution to this, but I need your cooperation!"
Aunt Zhang didn't say a word:
"Tell me, how are you going to tell me what to do?"
Erlaizi's mother gave Aunt Zhang a suggestive look:
"You saw how that girl, Douya, treated Tang Zhiqing today. We've all been through this, you know what she's like!"
This is why Erlaizi's mother couldn't be more direct when Zhong Wanwan was around.
Aunt Zhang understood:
"Your eyes are so slick, do you think I can't see through you? If you spread this around, even if Bean Sprout says she's having an affair with Little Poplar, no one will believe her!"
Erlaizi's mother nudged Aunt Zhang's shoulder:
"We're thinking the same thing! We're on the same wavelength!"
Aunt Zhang pushed aside Er Laizi's mother:
"Don't disgust me like this. Go be all lovey-dovey with your old man if you want!"
"Hurry up, let's go now. We must spread this news throughout the farm tonight, not even the dogs at the village entrance should be missed!"
Erlaizi's mother nodded in deep agreement, and just then she saw Zhang Liuzhi standing there dumbfounded. Erlaizi's mother instructed Zhang Liuzhi:
"Stay away from that bean sprout, you hear me? You can't marry such a jinx, otherwise, even if your mother can't bear to hit you, I won't spoil you either!"
Aunt Zhang got anxious:
"What do you mean by that? Who wouldn't want to hit a child?"
Erlaizi's mother pouted:
"Who doesn't know their own limitations? If you were the kind of person who would hit your children, would your kids be so arrogant?"
Aunt Zhang became dejected when this was mentioned. Because the children's father passed away early, Aunt Zhang found it difficult to be kind to her children, especially when it came to marriage. She always felt that if the children married someone they liked, they would have a happy life in the future.
Who would have thought that none of these bastards could be trusted!
Erlaizi's mother didn't want to say much more. Even among close sisters, one should only speak of someone else's child in a nutshell.
Zhang Liuzhi was a filial son, so he quickly agreed:
"Auntie, I know what I'm doing. I definitely can't give Bean Sprouts any chance!"
Erlaizi's mother nodded:
"Just remember this. When Erlaizi comes back, I'll also tell him that if he marries me a daughter-in-law like that, he should get out of here naked as soon as possible and not defile my home!"
Zhang Liuzhi shuddered, preparing to keep an eye on Wang Erlaizi while also protecting himself, since Erlaizi's mother was capable of kicking him out!
Aunt Zhang put on her coat and followed Er Laizi's mother, ready to spread gossip. Zhong Wanwan quickly put two handfuls of sunflower seeds from her bag into each of their pockets.
“It’s no fun just chatting, Auntie, let’s share the food when we’re chatting.”
That's why Erlaizi's mother and Aunt Zhang are so efficient; in just one night, the story of Douya and Tang Zhiqing had spread far and wide!
The next morning, Zhong Wanwan went to the rice market and heard several aunties and grandmas talking excitedly around Erlaizi's mother. The content was simply more explosive than Jin Ping Mei!
The aunties and grandmas were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice Zhong Wanwan approaching, which made Zhong Wanwan blush with embarrassment.
Zhong Wanwan was eavesdropping when she heard a loud shout coming from not far away:
"Who are you talking about? My Douya and Tang Zhiqing are completely innocent. How can you ruin my child's reputation like this? How will my Douya ever get married in the future?"
Erlaizi's mother pouted:
"Oh, oh, oh, you think we're slandering your daughter? Don't you even know where your daughter is?"
"They stayed up all night watching over Tang Zhiqing, and now they say it's nothing? Who would believe that!"
Erlaizi's dad wanted to do something good. Yesterday, Erlaizi's mom and Aunt Zhang went to spread rumors, and Erlaizi's dad wanted to help out.
He's quick-witted; he immediately thought of going to the clinic to find Old Man Wu.
Although Old Wu was annoyed by Tang Zixuan, he was quite responsible for his work.
Fearing that Tang Zixuan might develop a fever in the middle of the night, Old Man Wu specially stayed by his side in the clinic.
Of course, it wasn't just Old Wu guarding the clinic; there was also Bean Sprout, who served Tang Zixuan.
Erlaizi's father played chess with Old Wu all night long. It was already dawn when Erlaizi's father finally went home, yawning all the while.
Erlaizi's mother naturally found out that Douya had stayed up all night to watch over Tang Zixuan.
She went out to share the latest developments in their relationship as soon as she woke up in the morning.
Aunt Wang felt a little guilty; she really hadn't noticed whether her daughter had come home or not.
She goes to bed early and gets up late every day. Once she's asleep, she's completely still, so she really didn't notice whether Bean Sprout came back at night or not.
Anyway, this morning, the stove was cold and the pot was empty. Aunt Wang thought Douya was being lazy and scolded her for half an hour.
Now that I think about it, that brat might not have come back last night.
But at a time like this, she definitely couldn't accept those words. She was still hoping that Douya would marry Xiaobaiyang so that she could help support her family by selling sugar cubes!
Aunt Wang was being unreasonable:
"Even if Douya helped keep watch over the patient at the hospital, it's because my Douya has a kind heart!"
"Tang, the educated youth, was staying at my house. Now that he has a leg injury, Douya (a nickname) is helping him out. What's wrong with that?"
"What right do you old women have to talk about bean sprouts? You're so blind, everything you see is dirty!"
Erlaizi's mother hit the nail on the head:
"It's not necessary for an old woman like you to accompany someone in bed. A young woman of similar age accompanying someone in bed? It's suspicious, who knows what's going on!"
Aunt Zhang, the straight man:
"Old man Wu won't just ignore it, why would she need to stay at the hospital with him?"
"I've always thought the two of them were acting strangely. Bean Sprout is always washing men's clothes by the well. Whose clothes are they washing? Need I say more!"
Aunt Wang was so angry she wanted to kill someone. "These two old women, are they the only ones with mouths?"
Aunt Wang pushed through the crowd and rushed forward to grab Er Laizi's mother:
"You filthy bitch, I'll teach you a lesson for your filth, I'll tear your mouth apart today!"
Not to be outdone, Er Laizi's mother started arguing with Wang Da Niang, and Zhang Shenzi naturally sided with her old friend.
These two were beaten so badly by Aunt Wang that they had blood streaks all over their faces and necks, and their hair was pulled out so badly that they were almost bald!
Aunt Wang burst into tears:
"They're bullying us orphans and widows! They're doing this to us! I'm going to find Director Wei to get justice for me!"
Director Wei didn't care about their ridiculous downfall. With spring planting in full swing and a bunch of important things waiting for him, he had no time for such nonsense!
Besides, it wasn't broken. It's your own poop, so you have to figure out how to wipe your own bottom!
Unable to vent her anger on anyone else, Aunt Wang could only angrily go to find the bean sprouts.
At this moment, Douya was fast asleep, lying beside Tang Zhiqing's bed. In her dream, she went back to the city with Tang Zixuan, and her mother-in-law in the city was so grateful to her that she wanted to give her the job on the spot...
