Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran found Zhang's mother under a big tree. Seeing Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran coming, Zhang's mother came over and asked anxiously.
"Tiantian, Ranran, are Lu Jiang and Lu Hai okay? They looked so pitiful this morning."
Seeing Zhang's mother's worried look, Zhang Tiantian quickly answered.
"Mom, it's okay. Lu Jiang and Lu Hai figured it out after we went up the mountain, so don't worry. They're cooking at home now and said they'd make us something delicious."
While answering her mother, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran distributed melon seeds to the aunts.
The aunts continued to gossip while eating melon seeds, and Aunt Li began to comfort Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran.
"Tiantian, Ranran, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai are all good. Good days are still ahead for you two. You both have jobs and will have a good life."
Before Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran could reply, Aunt Wang continued.
"Yes, actually, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai cut ties with their family, which is good for you two. After you left, the Lu family even fought over the money Lu Jiang and Lu Hai gave them."
Zhang Tiantian was very excited after hearing this and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why are they fighting? Aren't they a family? They have loved each other for so many years, but they are rejecting Lu Jiang and Lu Hai."
Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Tiantian as if she were a fool and said with disdain.
"They were a loving family, but over 180 yuan, they had a huge fight and were even hospitalized. The Lushan family wanted to keep the 180 yuan for themselves, but the other families wouldn't let them. No matter what, the Lushan family refused to share the money. The other three couldn't stand it anymore, so they gave the Lushan family a beating."
Aunt Li continued explaining by gesturing as if blood was flowing from her head.
"Lu Shan's family member was beaten so badly that his head was bleeding. He was sent to the brigade clinic. The barefoot doctor said that his arm and leg were both broken, and his head might have been concussed. He couldn't treat him and wanted to send him to the commune.
Lu Shan's family has been sent to the commune hospital and hasn't returned yet. I think they need to be hospitalized. Even if they come back, they'll probably have to stay in bed for about a month before they can move.
After hearing this, Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran looked at each other and laughed. It was as if their eyes were saying, "Serves you right. Wasn't he very fierce? This is karma."
Aunt Liu bumped into Zhang Tiantian and said with a wicked smile.
"Tiantian, Ranran, you just returned to the village, you must not know a new piece of gossip."
Zhang Tiantian cooperated and asked, "What gossip? Ranran and I haven't heard any new gossip in our village."
Aunt Liu coughed a few times and then started talking.
"Tiantian, Ranran, this gossip is not something most people can accept. I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen it."
Aunt Liu stopped talking after she finished speaking, obviously trying to whet Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran's appetite.
Zhang Tiantian quickly grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Aunt Liu, and Gu Ranran saw it and handed over a handful of melon seeds. Aunt Liu saw how accommodating Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were, and continued to talk.
"Didn't Wang Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing divorce, and then get married to Liu Zhiqing? But the three of them still live together.
I heard that Li Zhiqing is still doing business, making money for Wang Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing to spend. This Wang Zhiqing is really amazing, making the two women live in peace for him.
After hearing this, Gu Ranran asked curiously, "Li Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing are already divorced, but they still live together. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence. Is there no one to take care of it?"
"Ran Ran, don't be anxious. I haven't finished talking yet. The captain knew that the three of them lived together and was afraid that they would affect the reputation of our team, so he asked them to live separately.
The three of them agreed verbally, but the next day, Li Zhiqing and Er Laizi went to get their marriage certificate. After getting the certificate, Er Laizi lived with the three of them.
The captain couldn't say anything about that. I heard that Wang Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing were in love, and Er Laizi was soliciting business for Li Zhiqing.
Zhang Tiantian asked in surprise, "Aunt Liu, is it true that Li Zhiqing and Er Laizi got married?"
"Of course it's true. Er Laizi came back with the marriage certificate and showed it to us."
Gu Ranran continued to ask, "Aunt Liu, this Li Zhiqing is having affairs with men and women while doing business. Didn't anyone report it?"
"I wanted to report her, but I couldn't catch her in the act. People are being very cautious now. Otherwise, many people in the village would be fed up with her. She specializes in seducing the village gentlemen. I heard that with the help of Er Laizi, her business has spread to other brigades."
Zhang Tiantian couldn't help but sigh: "This is such a bad influence! Our team is also looking forward to becoming an advanced team and owning a tractor."
"That's right. To be honest, no one in the team dared to report her, for fear of ruining our team's plans."
Aunt Liu continued to gossip and asked, "Tiantian, Ranran, do you want to know who hates Li Zhiqing the most in the village?"
Zhang Tiantian quickly asked, "Aunt Liu, who is that?"
Looking at the curious Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran, Aunt Liu answered.
"It's Widow Wang. Widow Wang also makes a living from business. Li Zhiqing took advantage of her youth to snatch Widow Wang's business away. How could Widow Wang not hate her?"
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran were speechless after hearing this. Seeing the team leader passing by, they said goodbye to Aunt Liu and went home.
"Aunt Liu, let's go back and eat first. Lu Jiang and Lu Hai should have finished cooking."
"Tiantian, Ranran, you two should go back first. I have to go back to eat too. My family should have prepared the meal."
Zhang Tiantian called out to her mother, "Mom, it's time to go home for dinner. I saw my dad has gone home."
