Song Shujuan opened the big iron gate in her yard and saw Chen Lichu's eyes shining.
She went back to her parents' home two days ago and missed a good show.
Otherwise, given the geographical location of her home, it would be the best observation point.
These days, she brought a small stool outside every day to enjoy the cool air. She listened here and there and pieced together several versions of the story.
But rumors are always rumors, and they are mixed with some personal ideas.
She still wants to find out the truth.
Now, the truth is revealed.
"Come in and sit down." Song Shujuan pulled Chen Lichu in.
Only then did she see Shen Pingchu following behind her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Sister Pingchu? How come you have time to come here today!"
"I want to rent a house in your village. The village chief said you are well-informed and asked me to come to you to ask." Chen Pingchu smiled politely.
She was quite familiar with Song Shujuan. They played together when they were young, but they rarely saw each other since she married and moved to Xiaohe Village.
After such a long time, this meeting was quite cordial.
"You've found the right person. My brother-in-law and his wife went to work in another place, and their house is empty. They asked me to help them look for a house."
"I'll go to the brigade later and call him to ask if he wants to rent it."
"Go inside and sit for a while, I'll cut some watermelon for you."
Song Shujuan led the person into the house and took a watermelon from the door to the kitchen.
After a while, he came out with a plate of sliced watermelon: "I threw it in the well water to freeze it for a while, it's really cold."
Chen Lichu picked up the watermelon and took a bite. The sweet taste made her frown.
Song Shujuan also took a piece of watermelon and sat next to Shen Lichu: "I heard that you beat your father-in-law?"
Chen Lichu rolled her eyes, her habit of eating melons came back again.
Song Shujuan curled her lips: "I'm not an outsider, there's nothing I can't say."
"I hit him." Chen Lichu said lightly.
"Well done, your father-in-law is a piece of shit!"
"If you ask me, you should have beaten him long ago. His old arms and legs can't withstand your beatings. Beat him a few more times and he will be obedient." Song Shujuan said excitedly.
It’s such a pity that she didn’t see such a wonderful scene.
Why did you go back to your parents' home at this time instead of earlier or later?
"I heard that your parents-in-law are divorced?"
"Has your man severed his relationship with your father-in-law?"
"Did you beat up all those unfilial sons of yours?"
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became. She slapped her thigh and realized that she really shouldn't have gone back to her parents' home.
Chen Lichu looked at her eager eyes and sighed, and said, "Just tell her."
Song Shujuan listened to Chen Lichu's account of the whole incident, and there was more admiration in her eyes when she looked at her.
"Li Chu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you usually don't listen to me."
"All the men in your family, from top to bottom, except Lu Yunzhi, are no good!"
"You always say I'm jealous of you because I don't have a son."
"Those vampires in your family raised wolves for nothing, why should I be jealous of you?"
"Fortunately, you finally wake up now."
"I'm telling you, you can't be so confused again."
Song Shujuan said, handing Chen Lichu a piece of watermelon: "Eat, eat more."
He turned around and handed another piece to Chen Pingchu: "Why did Sister Pingchu move?"
"You also know that we sisters have had a good relationship since we were young, so we just want to live close to each other." Chen Lichu said first.
Song Shujuan's nickname is Little Trumpet. If she knows something, it is equivalent to announcing it to the world.
Chen Pingchu understood what Chen Lichu meant and agreed: "Yes, it's better for us two sisters to be together so that we can take care of each other."
"Then let's go to the brigade together after eating the watermelon. I'll call my brother-in-law and ask him."
"He's working in Shanghai. He says everything is great there. It's great, great. But I think he probably won't come back."
Song Shujuan's eyes showed envy.
Her brother-in-law and his wife had no children and could go wherever they wanted. Unlike them, they had an unmarried daughter at home and could only stay in this backward little village.
"Is the Shanghai Stock Exchange really that good?" Chen Pingchu seemed to have thought of something and asked involuntarily.
"Okay, it's fine!"
"I heard there's Western food there, including steak. They say foreigners eat it raw, and it's so tender and delicious."
"And hamburgers. I don't know what's in them, but I heard they're delicious."
"The streets are full of tall buildings, cars, and buses. I just want to go and see them."
When it comes to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Song Shujuan tells them about it with great interest.
Chen Pingchu stared at the ground thoughtfully.
It might not be a bad thing to let Jiang Xiaoqing go to Shanghai.
When the children grow up, they go to other places to see the world.
Moreover, Zhang Heng is actually a good kid, and she watched him grow up.
He is polite, intelligent, responsible, and nice to Xiaoqing.
Maybe Li Chu was right, Zhang Heng was not a jinx, he was just a miserable person.
"Sister, let's go." Seeing that Shen Pingchu didn't respond, Shen Lichu pulled her.
Chen Pingchu came to his senses and followed them to the brigade to make a phone call.
Song Shujuan went in to fight by herself, while the two Shen sisters waited outside.
Chen Pingchu called her aside and said, "Do you think girls from small places like us will be looked down upon in big cities?"
When Chen Lichu heard this, she already knew what she was thinking.
"Why would you look down on us? We're all human beings, so what's the point of distinguishing between high and low?"
"I used to always feel that I was too old and didn't deserve anything, so I gave all the good things to my sons."
