She was really panicked.
My father-in-law is alive and well, and my mother-in-law is about to pass away. By then...won’t their family be laughed to death in the brigade?
Xu Ancheng quickly ran over to help her up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something…something happened."
When she said something happened, Xu Ancheng and the others panicked, "What happened?"
"Mother, it's mother..."
Now Xu Huaishan's expression also changed.
Xu Ancheng held her arm tightly, "Don't panic, talk properly, what's going on?"
Zhang Fen took a deep breath and exhaled, then she spoke fluently. "Second aunt, second aunt came home and said that our mother found an old man in the city," Zhang Fen began to cry at the end of the sentence.
This was the first time in her life that she had encountered such a thing, and it happened to her. She felt like the sky was falling.
"Bang," the shovel in Xu Huaishan's hand fell directly to the ground.
Xu Anming was standing behind him and jumped up holding his feet.
The head of his father's shovel fell directly on his feet, causing severe pain.
But fortunately it was the back, not the front, otherwise it would have been more than just painful.
Xu Huaishan didn't care about his eldest son, who was so angry that he jumped up and down. He just ran to his eldest brother-in-law's house.
It was a sunny day and Xu Huaishan felt that he could not see the road clearly.
Along the way, people greeted him, but he ignored them and just kept running.
He ran in front, and the other members of the Xu family followed behind.
Someone in the brigade saw it and asked, "What happened to Xu Huaishan's family?"
They soon found out because He Lianlian, who was a big mouth, didn't even cook and started telling her neighbors the big secret she knew, which was that Gu Jinnian was over fifty years old and was going to find an old man in the city and live in a building in the city.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, “Is this true?”
"You might have heard it wrong, right?"
He Lianlian immediately said, "It must be true. The Gu family said it themselves. How could it be false?"
Someone said, "No wonder we just saw Xu Huaishan and his family running towards the Gu family in a panic. Could it be that they are about to be taken away by the old man in the city?"
There is not much entertainment in the countryside at this time, but if there is anything a little bit of excitement, everyone will squeeze in to take a look.
So when we heard that an old man from the city might come to pick up Gu Jin, we looked at each other as we were just listening to the gossip, and then we started walking towards Gu's house in unison.
When Xu Huaishan and others arrived at Gu's house, Zhong Meixian and Gu Jin were kneading dough in the kitchen, and Wen Tang and Chi Yue were sitting at the kitchen door picking onions.
As Gu Jin kneaded the dough, he suddenly thought of Xu Huaishan's kindness, and said to Zhong Meixian, "An Cheng's father wasn't without some good qualities. Back then, everyone was poor and had nothing to eat. He often went hungry and saved his food for the three of us."
Zhong Meixian also advised, "This is how life is. It's sweet everywhere, but it's all about bumps and bruises."
"Besides, men are sometimes careless and not as meticulous as women."
As the two were talking, Xu Huaishan came to Gu's house.
When he entered the yard, he saw that there was no one in the main room. Wen Tang and Chi Yue were sitting at the kitchen door. He knew that Gu Jin must be in the kitchen.
Just let the kitchen go.
Wen Tang and Chi Yue tactfully moved their stools to make room near the door and continued picking onions, but also said to the kitchen, "Mom, aunt, uncle is here."
Then Xu Ancheng and the others followed into the yard.
Wen Tang added, "Cousin, my cousins are here too."
Gu Jin looked up and saw Xu Huaishan standing at the kitchen door with his fists clenched and his eyes wide open, staring at her. The first thing he said was, "Go home quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here."
Gu Jin had been looking at his expression and had heard Wen Tang say that Xu Ancheng and the others had come together. He guessed that something might have happened and wanted to ask.
She was angry and decided not to live with Xu Huaishan.
But after all, several decades have passed, and she has given birth to three children with Xu Ancheng, and has so many grandchildren. She can't just ignore him completely.
But Xu Huaishan started talking in a bad mood, and Gu Jin also got angry.
He threw the dough he was kneading onto the table, and Gu Jin asked him, "Who am I embarrassing myself with?"
"Besides, I'm at my own mother's house. Even if I embarrassed myself, I didn't go to your Xu family to do it. Why do you have to take care of it?"
Xu Huaishan was so angry at these words that he was speechless.
Xu Anming poked his head out, "Mom, don't be angry with Dad. Even if you want to make a fuss, you can't go to the old man in the city!"
"Won't others laugh at our family?"
"Besides, is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss over a basin of foot washing water?"
"Looking for..." Gu Jin was also confused about the matter of the old man in the city, but he felt chilled by his son's next words.
It all came down to a basin of foot washing water. Even her niece-in-law knew it. It was clearly the last straw that broke the camel's back, but this biological son...
Wen Tang heard the old man in the city and raised his hand weakly, "Where did you hear that?"
Zhang Fen quickly said, "My second aunt told me, and she also said...she also said it was my aunt who said it herself." Zhang Fen didn't dare to look Zhong Meixian in the eye, because she was not sure whether what He Lianlian said was true.
Zhong Meixian threw the noodles in her hand onto the table after hearing this. "Bullshit, who said that?"
Wen Tang silently raised his hand a little higher, "...Maybe, it could be me."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Tang.
