Seeing her turn around, Wen Tang smiled at her and said, "Auntie!"
He Lianlian: “…”
Wen Tang: Just from He Lianlian's action just now, she knew that this person was definitely going to gossip about someone, and sure enough, she guessed it right.
Being the first one to eat melons, so satisfying.
He Lianlian: "...Hehe, that," she laughed awkwardly and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Wen Tang could still laugh and ask her, "Auntie, do you think I'm right?"
He Lianlian: “…”
How to say it?
That she is right?
But after all, she is from the Xu family!
But she couldn't directly say that what they said was wrong. After thinking it over, He Lianlian said, "Niece's wife." She and Gu Jin were sisters-in-law, so she followed Gu Jin's lead and called him, "Niece's wife, you see, you can't say that. Every household has similar conditions. Everyone is poor..."
Wen Tang nodded and said, "Yes, even mice have to leave in tears when they come."
He Lianlian was originally preparing to give a long speech, but because of Wen Tang's words "Even mice have to leave with tears in their eyes," He Lianlian opened her mouth again and fell silent.
I can’t go on with this long speech any further.
She racked her brains and quickly added, "But after all, we've been married for a lifetime. We can't get so upset over such a small matter, right?"
She also looked at Zhong Meixian, meaning that young people were ignorant and asked Zhong Meixian to help say a few words.
But Zhong Meixian didn't look at her, she only looked at the wild onions she had dug up.
Zhong Meixian: Let's not talk about the Xu family's stance. I'm from Gu Jin's family. You want me to offend my daughter-in-law? Do you think I dare?
Who would have thought that Zhong Meixian didn't say anything, but Wen Tang nodded to her words, "That's right, my aunt should follow my uncle. Although she has suffered hardships in this life, at least my uncle is kind enough to let her pour the foot washing water!"
"It's my aunt's blessing that the job of pouring footwashing water hasn't been given to anyone else. Don't you think so, aunt?"
He Lianlian: "...Hehe," she laughed awkwardly twice again.
Chi Yue also covered her mouth and laughed, "That's right, after all, my great-uncle is still in good health, and he has at least twenty years to live. During these twenty years, he still needs someone to take care of him. Since he needs my great-uncle to take care of him, I won't let him die of exhaustion."
"As long as my great-aunt lives, I'll have to serve her for at least another twenty years. I just don't know who will take this blessing."
She looked at He Lianlian and asked, "Do you want it?"
He Lianlian: “…”
"...But, but everyone lives like this. Men work outside and women work inside. It has been like this since ancient times." He Lianlian was not stupid. She could tell that what Wen Tang and Chi Yue said were not nice.
Now that she had heard it, He Lianlian could never agree with what these two people said.
Wen Tang nodded after hearing this. "Yes, men are in charge of the outside affairs, and women are in charge of the inside affairs. But in the past, the ones who were in charge of the inside affairs were all the mistresses of the house, the wives of the rich, and the young mistresses. They had 20 to 30 maids and nannies under their command. But no woman in the inside affairs had to work in the fields with the men to earn work points."
Chi Yue reminded her, "The hostess didn't even use her own milk after giving birth to a child!"
Wen Tang nodded again, "Yes, that's right."
He Lianlian was so frustrated that she couldn't help but say, "It's the same situation everywhere. If my sister-in-law has a better place to go, then our Xu family is unlucky!"
She said this in a sarcastic tone, because she was sure that Gu Jin was already old and it was useless to make a fuss. Not to mention that she couldn't get a divorce at her age, even if she did, which good family would be willing to take an old lady like her back?
Besides, you have to serve others when you go to their house.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue looked at each other, tsk, sarcastic?
Wen Tang crossed his arms, glanced up and down at He Lianlian, and said sarcastically, "How can that be? It must be that my aunt is unlucky!"
"After all, they were in a family where people would hang themselves and the roof would fall off, and when rats came, they would have to run away in tears. Even so, my aunt only served for more than 30 years. If she hadn't stayed for 50 or 60 years, she would have been unlucky."
"My aunt also had poor eyesight when she was young. She didn't know to look elsewhere for a beauty like hers."
"How could she know that old men in the city not only have salaries, but also pensions!"
Chi Yue continued, "Old men in the city are not only rich, but also have few things to do. They serve anyone they ask for. Why would you hang yourself on a crooked tree?"
Wen Tang continued, "Old men in the city can cook and wash dishes. When they marry a wife, they don't have to do anything, let alone have her wash feet."
"People, the less they have, the worse their temper becomes. Yet they still think they are blessing others everywhere. Tsk tsk."
"If this person meets a good old man and seizes his chance, he can move into a building in the city overnight."
He Lianlian: “…”
She looked at Wen Tang and Zhong Meixian, her heart full of doubts. Could it be that her sister-in-law had fallen in love with the old man in the city?
She wanted to ask Zhong Meixian a few questions, but after Wen Tang and Chi Yue finished talking, they simply pulled Zhong Meixian home, one on each side, and left her on the roadside.
Before Wen Tang left, he said to her, "Auntie, please go home soon. Don't go home too late. Your blessing as a nanny will be taken away by someone else."
He Lianlian: “…”
She took two steps forward, trying to get back at him, but...
When she saw Zhong Meixian being carried away by Wen Tang and Chi Yue, she thought about it and decided to give up.
But she had to spread the news she just received!
He Lianlian hurried to Xu's house. Only Xu Ancheng's wife Zhang Fen was at home taking care of the children. When she saw He Lianlian, she called her "Second Aunt."
He Lianlian stepped into the yard, "Xiao Fen, you are at home, hurry up, something happened," He Lianlian said, patting her legs and panting.
Zhang Fen was holding the child and panicked when she heard this. "Second Aunt, what happened?"
"It's your mother-in-law..."
"Mother-in-law?"
"What's wrong with mom?" Zhang Fen became even more anxious.
"Oh, I'm afraid your mother-in-law is really going to separate from your father-in-law. I just ran into your aunts on the road. They said... that your mother-in-law is going to find an old man in the city," He Lianlian finished speaking while panting.
"What?" Zhang Fen screamed, scaring the child in her arms to tears.
Then, while coaxing the child, she asked He Lianlian, "Second Aunt, I'm afraid you heard it wrongly?"
She couldn't believe it. "How is it possible?"
"Dad and Mom have lived their whole lives, and they have grandchildren. How could they still..." Zhang Fen felt that she couldn't even bring herself to say the words about looking for the old man in the city, because it was not a glorious thing.
He Lianlian waved her hands and said, "How could I have heard it wrong?"
"The newly married wife of your uncle was there at the time. She and the wife of Jinfeng said it together. This person said he was bald-mouthed. How could two people be bald-mouthed at the same time?"
Zhang Fen was unsure when He Lianlian said this. She held the child and said, "I...I'll go tell An Cheng right now."
"Go, go and talk to those men, otherwise your mother-in-law will really die."
Zhang Fen carried the child and went to the field. Halfway there, she met Xu Ancheng and others who had just returned from the local area.
When Zhang Fen saw Xu Ancheng, her legs went weak and she almost fell onto the ridge of the field.
