After a few days of rest, they started working again to plant crops such as corn and soybeans.
Meng Zhiyu took a cloth bag filled with corn seeds, threw the seeds into the dug hole, then covered it with soil with his feet and stepped on it twice.
The job of throwing seeds was not difficult, but it was obviously a bit boring. In addition, because he got up a little early, Meng Zhiyu was yawning and tears were evaporating.
It becomes more difficult when the sun comes up. The glaring sunlight makes it impossible to open your eyes, and your whole body becomes hot. In this open field, there is no place to hide.
They were listless while working, but came alive during a break, chattering about the gossip they had heard.
"Zhou's Third Son, I heard your mother picked out a girl for you yesterday. Which one is she from? How is she?"
"Isn't Mrs. Li busy taking care of her grandson? How can she still have time to matchmake people?"
"It shouldn't be Mrs. Li. I saw her walking in the yard with her grandson yesterday."
Meng Zhiyu looked curiously at Zhou Songbai, who had been silent all the time, and saw that he was holding a kettle in his hand and taking a big sip from time to time, as if he didn't hear others talking about him.
As if he noticed Meng Zhiyu's gaze, he turned his head and looked at him with a questioning look in his eyes. Meng Zhiyu smiled at him faintly and looked away.
The person involved didn't say anything, which didn't affect the interest of the maids. The voices were getting louder and louder. Zhou Songbai was impatient. "I didn't see him yesterday. He brought his daughter to visit my mother and sisters-in-law."
He has no plans to get married now. He thinks it's good to be alone. Even if he wants to find someone, he would like to find someone he likes, instead of going on blind dates casually and getting married just because they seem to be suitable, and living a boring life.
His two older brothers are married and have children, so his parents have grandchildren to look after and they don’t have to worry about the family line being cut off. It doesn’t matter if he never gets married.
"Are you shy? They bring a girl to your house, isn't it just a way for you to meet? Tell me which girl's family she is from?" A mother-in-law didn't notice Zhou Songbai's displeasure, and said loudly with her mouth wide open in a self-righteous manner.
"You flowery old woman, why are you so concerned about my family's affairs? Does seeing each other have anything to do with you? Why are you talking endlessly here?"
Mother Zhou, who was in another group, heard a few loudmouths talking and laughing loudly around her son. She knew that her third son was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she ran over quickly. Just because you don't say something doesn't mean others won't say it. As time goes by, it can completely change your mind.
"Whose child wouldn't look at a few before getting married? No matter what, they'd at least find someone they like. But why is it that it's a rare thing when you say it? I insist on getting the truth. What's going on? Let me be clear with you. You're planning to spread the bad girl and my San'er's reputation everywhere, right?"
Mrs. Hua looked embarrassed and said, "No, I'm just concerned about your third son."
Mother Zhou sneered inwardly and rolled her eyes at her. "My son has a father, a mother, a brother and a sister-in-law. He doesn't need your concern. I say, Aunt Hua, if you have the time, you should take care of your own son. He's always dirty and bullies other girls. He's been in jail so many times. If you keep up this, even beggars won't want to enter your house."
"That's right. A few days ago, I heard that Hua Youlang was severely beaten by a little girl from another team because he molested her." Mrs. Niu took a sip of water and looked at Mrs. Hua with ridicule for having the leisure to meddle in other people's family affairs.
"Could it be that the old woman also feels that her son can't find a wife, so she wants to follow others and pick up a wife that no one else wants?" An old woman guessed with a look of realization on her face.
"That's right, why didn't I think of that?"
Everyone was watching them, and the old woman was so angry that she pushed everyone away and said, "What are you looking at? Get out of my way. What the hell does my son have to do with you?"
"Mrs. Hua, I'm going to say this to you too. It's none of your business what happens in other people's families." Mother Zhou snorted coldly as she watched her hurriedly leave.
The old woman walked over to her son, cursing. Hua Youlang was lying on the grass, glancing at his mother out of the corner of his eye. "Mom, have you found out? Whose family is this woman from?"
I don’t know if she is pretty, if her breasts are big, or if her butt is cute?
The old woman sat on the grass with a droopy face. "Don't mention it. I was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou and didn't get the answer."
My son is already 26 years old and still not married. I am so jealous of others having grandchildren that I have asked people to help me find a partner, but no one has been successful.
Each of them has lofty ambitions and wants to marry into a good family, but they don't even take a piss to see what they look like. They also look down on her son. In her opinion, her son's appearance is definitely among the top three in the village.
"Then go ask someone else. If you don't find out, what should I do?" Hua Youlang's face was full of anger, and he glared at the old woman with wide eyes and shouted.
Seeing that he was angry, Mrs. Hua quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, son. I will definitely find out the truth for you today."
After hearing Hua Po's assurance, Hua Youlang finally calmed down. Hua Po blinked her old eyes and whispered in his ear, "Mother, those girls in the village are no match for those from the big city. Those village girls can't even read a word. The girls in the city have all been to school, are pretty, and most importantly, come from wealthy families."
In this way, not only will the grandchildren born be good-looking and smart, but the family will also be promoted by the in-laws.
Hua Youlang naturally knew what Hua Pozi knew, and pushed Hua Pozi impatiently, "Come on, both sides. Don't worry about this. Just keep an eye on the women in the team."
"Okay, okay, mom will listen to you." Her husband was paralyzed in bed, and she only had this one son. She would rely on him for her retirement, so naturally she would do whatever her son said.
