Zhao Yingdi?
"What does it matter whether she agrees or not? It's the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, so we still have to obey the elders."
A woman sighed. She didn't like her man back then, but she still got married. She gave birth to four children in five years. Everyone in the village praised her for her ability and said she was blessed, but only she knew the hard work involved.
Others also said: "Yingdi's mother is a fool. She dare not resist Old Lady Zhao? Not to mention speaking for Zhao Yingdi."
"That's right. Maybe she's eager to exchange Zhao Yingdi for silver to give to the one she's pregnant with."
Su Wei didn't find it funny, she just felt sad. Women in ancient times couldn't even make decisions about their own marriages and felt like objects.
She didn't want to listen anymore, but Zhao's mother came again, still with her belly protruding and a proud look on her face, showing off the "son" in her belly and kicking her again.
Su Wei didn't understand. She and Old Lady Zhao were also women, so why were they so hostile to women? If they really disliked women so much, shouldn't they dislike her first? If they disliked her, why didn't they just die?
Su Wei was just a bystander, but Zhao's mother's remarks about putting her husband first had disgusted her.
She couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she couldn't help but interrupt: "Aunt Zhao is absolutely right."
Mother Zhao was very happy to hear someone agree with her, even though she was an annoying person: "Second wife Shen also thinks what I said is right, right? Don't we women rely on men to survive? If we can't give birth to a son and can't continue the incense for men, what kind of woman are we?"
She pursed her lips and looked towards the Li family's house with a clear purpose. This place was not far from Li Guanggun's house, and her voice was loud enough for Sister Liang to hear. She did it on purpose. This was not the first time. She and Old Lady Zhao believed that Sister Liang should hang herself for giving herself to two men, and she dared to come out alive and show off...
Su Wei also met Sister Liang once. She went to the fields with Li Guanggun. She had gained some weight and had a smile on her face. She was holding her child and following her husband. The family of three looked very happy.
This kind of happiness is not what anyone wants to see.
For example, the Liang family, for example, Zhao's mother.
The Liang family is easy to understand, a disgusting family, but Su Wei finds Zhao's mother very confusing. She is the victim, but she wants to harm Sister Liang, who she thinks is worse off than her.
You obviously had a worse life than me before, but how come you suddenly live a good life?
This won't work.
Jealous and dark, pitiful and hateful.
Su Wei followed her words and said, "Yes, it's right to continue the incense for a man, but what if the incense is placed in the wrong incense burner and worshipped in the wrong ancestor? Can it still be considered as continuing the incense?"
Everyone was confused, only Zhao's mother understood. As a rural woman, she couldn't hide anything, so her face turned very ugly and she could only retort loudly.
"You are not disciplined yourself. You seduce men outside to make Shen Er a cuckold, and you still want to throw dirty water on me and slander me. I tell you, no way."
Su Wei looked at her, and everyone looked at her too.
Mother Zhao still didn't understand why everyone was silent and looking at her. Shouldn't they be looking at that bitch Su Wei?
I knew this bitch had no good intentions...
I knew this bitch would tell everyone about it...
The more Zhao's mother thought about it, the more anxious she became.
An auntie couldn't stand it any longer and asked Zhao's mother with a puzzled look on her face: "No... Yingdi Niang, what's wrong with you? Why are you cursing for no reason?"
Zhang Guizhi sneered: "Who knows? Maybe he's just feeling guilty."
Mother Zhao finally realized that Su Wei hadn't said anything, and no one except her understood...
Mother Zhao looked up and saw Su Wei looking at her with a smile. Her heart skipped a beat, worried that if she angered Su Wei and told others about it, how would she live?
"I...I am..."
"What is it?" Su Wei looked at her: "Aunt Zhao is not trying to turn the tables on me, right?"
Mother Zhao swallowed her saliva, and suddenly covered her stomach and cried out: "My stomach is uncomfortable... It hurts..."
Su Wei watched coldly as Zhao's mother walked away, holding her stomach.
I thought to myself, what a bitch she is, she dares to bully those weaker than her.
As soon as Zhao's mother left, everyone started to discuss, "Why is Yingdi Niang so weird?"
Zhang Guizhi said, "What's weird about that? I think she's just jealous and can't stand seeing others doing well. She used to pretend to comfort Sister Liang, but every word she said was like a knife stabbing her in the chest. Now that Sister Liang and Li Guanggun are living a prosperous life, she definitely can't stand it."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I used to think Li Guanggun was not a good person because he was so fierce. I didn't expect that he is actually a good man."
There are many people living nearby, and everyone is talking about it endlessly.
Some people said that they saw Li Guanggun buying a hairband for Sister Liang, and bought a ewe so that Sister Liang's daughter could drink milk. Others said that they saw Li Guanggun squatting in the yard washing diapers for the child.
A grown man washing diapers for a child who is not his own...
Everyone was envious and jealous.
"Sister Liang has finally made it through. She will be able to live a good life for a few days from now."
"Who says it's not? Look at the Liang family..."
Everyone laughed.
So Su Wei curiously asked the people around him: "What happened to the Liang family?"
She loves to listen to plays about bad guys getting into trouble the most.
Then the aunts around started talking at once.
In the past, all the work in the Liang family was done by Sister Liang.
As soon as Sister Liang left, these tasks fell on Old Lady Liang and Old Man Liang. The two were exhausted, but Liang Dayong loved gambling. When he lost, he would come back to ask for money, and would beat people if they didn't give him money.
He used to beat Sister Liang, but now that Sister Liang is gone, he can only beat Old Man Liang and Old Lady Liang.
Not only that, I heard that he was having an affair with a widow from the next village.
All the good-looking widows in the surrounding area are Doctor Qin's. The ones that Doctor Qin ignores are either like Chen's mother, a dutiful woman who is devoted to taking care of her son, or a woman with very bad character, very difficult to deal with, and many of them are very bad women.
Liang Dayong offended such a woman. It was said that there were many men in the widow's house. Liang Dayong was fascinated by her and insisted on marrying her.
He could marry her, but the widow asked for ten taels of silver.
Back then, the Liang family only paid half a bag of millet for Sister Liang, and because of this, old lady Liang has been talking about it for more than ten years.
Asking for ten taels of silver now is like asking for their lives.
Because of this, the Liang family was in turmoil. Old Mrs. Liang hadn't come to gossip for a long time. I don't know if it was because she didn't have time or because she felt embarrassed.
Su Wei was stunned when he heard this.
This village is so wonderful...
Su Zhuzhu returned home from the melon field and picked a handful of leeks. She was going to make some buns with leeks and eggs for lunch. But as soon as she walked in, she saw the focus of their conversation: Li Guanggun, the good man who washed diapers, was at her house...
Su Zhuzhu: “…”
