"Oh, little girl, I have to tell you something. Something really strange happened today! I just heard that Qiao Qiao and that Wu Erzhu actually slept together!"
And, apparently, he was caught red-handed by a group of old women, right there in bed! Tsk tsk tsk, it's just a pity that my workplace was too far away today, so I missed the excitement, not even getting a chance to see it for myself!
As Aunt Cuihua vividly described the scene, she kept smacking her lips, her face showing a mixture of regret and excitement, as if she had missed a great show.
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan's eyes widened and her mouth gaped open, looking exactly like a naive young girl who had never seen the world before, so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.
After finally regaining her composure, she stammered, "Really...really, Auntie? They're...they're dating? When are they getting married?"
She felt that her performance was excellent, full of emotional value, and guaranteed to make Aunt Cuihua want to share it.
Sure enough, Aunt Cuihua snorted softly, curled her lip, and said with a look of disdain, "Hey! Who says otherwise! Widow Sun said that they should go and get their marriage certificate tomorrow."
However, whether they're actually dating or not, only God knows! If you ask me, ever since Qiao Qiao returned to the village, she's been inseparable from Wu Erzhu and several other young men in the brigade. I have no idea who she really likes!
It must be admitted that Aunt Cuihua's eyesight is indeed very sharp, like a hawk, able to lock onto the target accurately in an instant, and immediately see the core of the problem, seeing the matter clearly and thoroughly.
Now, the reason why Widow Sun proposed that the two of them get a marriage certificate is probably obvious to everyone.
Undoubtedly, she was worried that her son would be charged with hooliganism and get into unnecessary trouble.
However, Aunt Cuihua would absolutely not believe that Widow Sun had truly taken a liking to Qiao Qiao, her future daughter-in-law.
Everyone in the entire brigade knew that Widow Sun had always looked down on delicate and fragile girls, and Qiao Qiao was exactly like that.
Therefore, when this incident occurred today, many people, like cats smelling fish, flocked over, eagerly waiting to see the Sun family make a fool of themselves.
Xia Wan muttered to herself, thinking that this was hardly a big deal, just a small commotion.
If these two actually go and get a marriage certificate, then things will really get interesting! Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help but shake her head, a look of disbelief on her face.
"Oh dear, would Qiao Qiao willingly agree to get a marriage certificate with someone? I remember Qiao Qiao used to look down on us country folk. She even said that even if she were beaten to death, she would never marry a country person."
It's true that some people look down on country folk, but to say that she would rather die than marry a country man is just Xia Wan making things up and exaggerating.
Aunt Cuihua loathed Qiao Qiao to the extreme, and sneered with disdain, "Hmph! What good is it if she's willing or not? Who told this little brat to go and sleep with someone like that! She grew up in the countryside herself, and after only a few days in the city, she's already forgotten who she is!"
After saying that, Aunt Cuihua clapped her hands together as if to vent all her dissatisfaction. Then she continued, "I heard that there are still several thugs keeping a close eye on Widow Sun's house. They're threatening to report Wu Erzhu and Qiao Qiao for being hooligans if the two of them don't hurry up and get a marriage certificate!"
After hearing this, Xia Wan pretended to be still shaken and very scared, patted her chest and said, "Oh my god, it's a good thing I moved out of the Xia family early, otherwise my reputation would have been completely ruined by that woman Qiao Qiao!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Cuihua's face instantly lit up with undisguised excitement. Her eyes shone as she looked at Xia Wan, filled with delight, and she exclaimed:
"Oh my, Xia Wan, you're absolutely right! If Qiao Qiao keeps staying at the Xia family home, won't that also tarnish the reputation of Xia Chunxi and her sister?"
If even the slightest bit of bad news or rumor about Xia Chunxi and the others were to spread outside, Li Cao would absolutely not let Qiao Qiao off easily.
After all, the conflict between them didn't develop overnight. Given the chance, Li Cao would definitely seize it and teach Qiao Qiao a lesson.
This is going to be quite a hassle for these people!
Just then, Aunt Cuihua suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Wan, pointing ahead and whispering, "Look, isn't that your grandma? Look at her, rushing around like that, I wonder what important thing she's rushing off to do!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan quickly looked up in the direction Aunt Cuihua was pointing and indeed saw Old Lady Xia carrying a bulging bundle, hurrying towards the village entrance. As the sky gradually darkened, a sense of worry welled up in Xia Wan's heart.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she quickly turned around and greeted Aunt Cuihua, "Auntie, you go ahead with your work. I need to hurry over and check on my grandma. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for her to wander around outside alone!"
However, Aunt Cuihua held Xia Wan tightly and refused to let go, earnestly advising her, "Oh dear, Xia Wan, why bother with this? Don't you know how your grandmother treats your family? It's a wonder you still care about her so much!"
Faced with Aunt Cuihua's persuasion, Xia Wan could only sigh helplessly, her face showing an expression of resignation and no regrets, and slowly began to explain:
"Sigh... Auntie, you don't know this! My dad has always been very worried about my grandparents. If something really happens to my grandma this time, and she suffers a serious accident, I guess my dad will be worried all day long and lose his appetite! So, no matter what, I still have to go and see her."
After saying this, Xia Wan gently broke free from Aunt Cuihua's hand and quickened her pace to chase after the direction where Old Lady Xia had left.
Xia Wan patted Aunt Cuihua's hand and chased after Old Lady Xia.
