Xie Ailian never expected that more than two years later, when Wang Erbing was looking for a marriage partner, someone would come to talk to him about Chen Meiru.
"I've already sounded out Shi Guixiang for you... Why do you look like that? Is it because she's older? It can't be because of that idiot thing in town earlier, right?"
The one who came to propose marriage was Fei Mengzi's mother from the village.
This person also has a miserable life. She married into Hebian Village and has been unhappy for more than 20 years.
If she hadn't been so aggressive and her brothers from her natal family were not so helpful, she would have been kicked out long ago.
At the age of 45, she finally became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Chen Feihu. Well, he was indeed very fierce. He seemed a little dull at ordinary times, but he was very fierce when fighting with other children.
So he got a nickname - Fei Mengzi.
This woman, who had such a hard-won son, likes people to call her Fei Mengzi's mother.
"Will Shi Guixiang agree?" Xie Ailian looked strange and asked instead of answering.
Fei Mengzi's mother understood immediately and snorted twice, "Given Chen Meiru's current condition, can Shi Guixiang still do anything to Qiao?"
"Oh, I disagree."
“…”
Hey!
You also took Joe.
Xie Ailian either complained or opposed.
"You don't know, back then, Lao Niu mentioned Chen Meiru to my eldest brother, and he complained that my family stinks more than fart."
"Oh, there's this in there?"
Fei Mengzi's mother's expression suddenly brightened, and her facial features were all over the place.
The soul of gossip is burning.
"Old Xie, you're really good at hiding things. Come on, tell me the whole story."
"To be honest, it's nothing. It's just that Lao Niu mentioned it, and Shi Guixiang didn't say anything good about it, so she was very angry."
"Isn't that a big deal? Shi Guixiang looked down on your family for being poor, so she went to great lengths to introduce Chen Meiru to a family in town. The man is a complete idiot.
They've only just met and haven't even settled the marriage yet, but they're already rushing to send Chen Meiru to work at the man's house. I'm afraid they really want Chen Meiru to stay there forever, right? "
"I can understand that." Xie Ailian inexplicably felt a little pretentious and happy.
"If it really worked out, whoever brought it up would be jealous, but it didn't work out, right? No! I'm leaving."
Of the three people involved, Xie Ailian, Shi Guixiang, and Niu Dahua, only Xie Ailian didn't want anyone to know about the situation. Shi Guixiang didn't say anything, perhaps because she was afraid of affecting Chen Meiru and losing face. She would definitely show off to someone in private.
As for Niu Dahua, it's even worse.
So, many people actually know about this, but she is one of the few who doesn't know?
She must go find her 'fortune-telling friends' and have some conversations.
Xie Ailian: “……!”
However, she just needs to be prepared for Shi Guixiang to come to her.
However, things went far beyond her expectations.
Shi Guixiang didn't come to visit, but there were rumors in the village that Fei Mengzi's mother was the one who set up a match between Chen Meiru and Wang Erbing.
Xie Ailian felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to attack the person. She didn't want the past events to be dug up and the whole village to watch the show.
Didn't she refuse and disagree with the two of them meeting each other?
But she was overthinking things.
Wang Erbing didn't know the story behind it. He just felt that although Chen Meiru's stupid and impulsive behavior had lowered her reputation, her innocence was definitely not damaged.
While working, Chen Meiru took the initiative to talk to him. He didn't think much about it, and they interacted more often, and then they became a couple in a daze.
It must be said that being able to get married is better than being single.
"I didn't expect that Chen Meiru would end up on this sycamore tree in your house." On this day, Niu Dahua and Xie Ailian were turning over the sweet potato vines together again. Niu Dahua smiled at Xie Ailian like a madman.
Xie Ailian, "Don't talk nonsense, Fei Mengzi's mother did mention it, but I refused at the time. It was so disgusting."
Hearing this, Niu Dahua glanced at her with a strange expression.
"You don't know yet? Your second son is dating Chen Meiru."
"What?"
Xie Ailian accidentally broke a sweet potato vine.
Niu Dahua was frightened by her murderous expression and shrank her neck. She smiled awkwardly and told what she knew.
"No way!" Xie Ailian gritted her teeth.
"Do you want to break up the couple?"
Niu Dahua was excited. She prepared the melon seeds and peanuts and sat back to watch the show.
When Xie Ailian saw her like that, a mouthful of blood got stuck in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
When Wang Erbing got home from work, he was met with all kinds of cold stares and contempt from his own mother. When the meals were distributed, he was even given special "care".
Although Xie Ailian is usually aggressive and seems to have the final say on all matters big and small in the family, in fact, she will talk to Wang Dahai about many things first.
Wang Dahai usually doesn't make decisions directly, but during this process, she has an idea in her mind.
"Second brother, come with me." Before going to work in the afternoon, Xie Ailian called Wang Erbing.
Here we come!
Following silently behind, no matter what happened, Wang Erbing would rather Xie Ailian just hit him with a broom.
Calling him over so calmly made him even more frightened.
"I don't agree with what's going on between you and Chen Meiru." Xie Ailian went straight to the point.
Wang Erbing: “……!”
"Because she once fell in love with a fool and rushed to curry favor with him?"
"Before that, your Aunt Niu went to tell your brother about her. Shi Guixiang disliked our family's poverty and scolded your Aunt Niu. This matter was not exposed in the village, but many people knew about it and talked about it privately."
"This, this... her mother thinks our family is poor, isn't that normal? When you're looking for a husband for your eldest sister, shouldn't you also consider the conditions of the man's family? Who wouldn't want to find someone with better conditions when marrying off their daughter?"
