Just as Meng Zhiyu was thinking about how to ask the middle-aged woman's address without being too fussy, Zhou's mother came over and asked expectantly, "Sister, where are you from? Meeting is fate. I think we are quite compatible. Can we get together sometime?"
After all, Zhou's mother is an old actor with solid skills. Except for Meng Zhiyu and others who knew the inside story, no one else could see it.
The middle-aged woman didn't want to say it, but the expression on Zhou's mother's face was too glaring. She felt a little complacent and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm from the county town, and you're in the rural brigade. We're too far away to get together."
Li Zhengzhi glanced at the two sleeping children twice without leaving any trace, walked out and stood with Zhou Songbai, who was leaning against the wall and eavesdropping after completing the formalities. Neither of them spoke.
Li Tingman came on stage with a sigh, "My family is also in the county town, but there is no job at home, so I came to the countryside to work in construction."
She counted on her fingers, "My mom works in a textile factory, my dad and brother work in a pork factory, and I'm the only one without a job. Hey, auntie, what do you do?"
Meng Zhiyu continued, "Needless to say, Auntie has an extraordinary temperament at first glance. She must be a formal and good employee. I guess Auntie works in the textile factory."
The middle-aged woman was a little surprised. It was obvious that Meng Zhiyu had guessed it right. She was a little suspicious. They were not very familiar with each other, so why was he suddenly talking about her work?
Before she could think about it, she heard the old lady interrupt, "Hey, you work in the textile factory, so we are acquaintances. Can you give us a discount when buying fabrics in the future?"
Zhou's mother, who had prepared her lines in her mind, was robbed: ...
Seeing the woman's suspicion, Meng Zhiyu was about to make amends: ...
I have to say, the old lady is quite cute.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman dispelled her suspicions that had just arisen, and was full of disdain. Country people are country people, and they just want to take advantage. The internal price is not enough for her family, so how could she give it to an outsider?
So, she refused with a straight face. The old lady shook her head with a bit of regret. Zhou's mother said, "It's getting late. We should leave. I guess you still don't know my name after all this time. My last name is Zhou Dahua."
The old lady bared her yellow teeth and said, "My name is Wang Huahua. Sister, it seems that we are really destined to be together."
Then he asked, "Sister, what's your name?"
The middle-aged woman was impatient. Who is your sister? She still remembered the old woman's words about her hatred. But looking at Zhou's mother who was full of expectations, she straightened her back unconsciously and said, "My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Hui."
Meng Zhiyu was a little surprised. These two names were connected, and it seemed that they really had some fate.
The old woman became even more excited, "Oh, my last name is Liu too, my dear sister."
God's sister, Meng Zhiyu almost couldn't help laughing, and Li Tingman couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but curl her lips and snorted in her heart, looking down on the old lady's shamelessness.
Zhou Songbai happened to come in and said, "Mom, everything is done, let's go."
Mother Zhou said goodbye to the two of them with reluctance on her face. Liu Hui nodded slightly with a stern face. Old Lady Liu and Wang Huahua were quite excited and held Mother Zhou's hand tightly. "Big Sister Hua, I will definitely come to see you when I have the chance. Oh, and the two little sisters."
Meng Zhiyu and Li Tingman smiled and nodded at her. Although the old lady was a little unpleasant at first, the contrast made a difference. The old lady was much more likable than the arrogant Liu Hui.
Li Zhengzhi borrowed a bicycle from the team leader's house. Zhou Songbai brought his mother, Li Tingman brought Meng Zhiyu, and Li Zhengzhi rode one himself.
It had been cloudy for the past two days, and it was still early, so they were slowly heading back. The cool breeze felt particularly comfortable on their bodies.
"Now that we know the name and workplace of the child's grandmother, it will be much easier to find someone to investigate her son and daughter-in-law." Zhou Songbai twisted the handlebars to avoid a stone.
"I know a few buddies, and they have some connections." Li Zhengzhi rode side by side with Zhou Songbai on the right.
It was the off-season for farming, and after finishing their work, the villagers would stroll around the village and chat. The brigade had been relatively peaceful these past few days, with only the news of someone having a baby, someone seeing each other, or someone's mother-in-law being bullied by her daughter-in-law...
Meng Zhiyu is among the top three on the popular list, especially the aunties and grandmas who like gossip, who are all arguing about two issues.
First, how big is the lump on Meng Zhiyu's body? Some people say it is as big as soybeans or mung beans, while others refute it. They all say that if it is a big lump, then it must be comparable to an egg yolk.
Second, they heard that Meng Zhiyu had pimples all over his body. Would that leave scars all over his body? After all, they knew that many people had scars due to pimples.
The captain's second son Li Ming happened to be on vacation two days ago. Zhao Shuanglian spent almost the entire day with him. The two were very affectionate. Zhao Shuanglian, who had heard so many sweet words, was extremely pleased with herself.
She dressed herself up carefully and walked to the village, intending to wait for her boyfriend Li Ming to get off work.
When the aunt saw her, her eyes lit up. "Zhao Zhiqing, tell me what happened to Meng Zhiqing at that time. What did the bumps on his body look like? Will they leave scars?"
Zhao Shuanglian had been concentrating on dating her partner. Even when she heard people around her discussing Meng Zhiyu, she subconsciously ignored it. Her heart and eyes were filled with only her partner.
"Anyway, my body was covered with bumps, each one bigger than my eyes. It still scares me when I think about it now."
Zhao Shuanglian slept soundly that night and didn't hear anything. She only heard about this incident today. She had no idea what a terrible state Meng Zhiyu had become, but it didn't matter.
In the educated youth's courtyard, apart from Li Tingman and Zhang Qingwan, the person she hated the most was Meng Zhiyu. When she thought that she might be disfigured and become ugly, she was very excited and happy, but there was a worried look on her face.
"You speak as if you saw it with your own eyes. Why do I remember that you didn't even leave the house that day?" Mu Ziwei went up the mountain to find a chicken at noon today, stewed it in a pot and waited for them to come back to eat together.
As a result, there was still no sign of the people who were supposed to come back this morning. He became a little restless, wondering if something had happened to Meng Zhiyu again.
He thought of going to the village entrance to greet her. If she didn't come back before dark, he would go to the hospital again. When he hurried to the big tree, he heard Zhao Shuanglian talking nonsense with her eyes open. He was already unhappy and his anger suddenly flared up.
"Looking at how carefully you've dressed up, are you going to find someone for a date?" Without waiting for her to speak, Mu Ziwei glanced at her and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have a partner. I was just bored staying in the house and came out to get some fresh air." Zhao Shuanglian was a little flustered. Li Ming had told her that because his father was the team leader and he worked in the county, if they told their affairs to others before getting engaged, someone might make trouble.
"Oh, really?" Mu Ziwei continued to raise his eyebrows, and then continued to ask, "Since you didn't see Meng Zhiqing's appearance, you said it in front of so many people. Isn't this misleading everyone?"
