Chapter 178 The Evil Aunt Guo
Late at night, someone knocked gently on the door of a house at the entrance of the alley.
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you not to come if you have nothing to do? What if someone sees us?"
Aunt Guo said this, but still opened the door and let people in.
When he waited for someone to come in, he stuck his head out to look around before gently closing the door.
Her house is at the innermost part of the alley and there are usually not many people there.
In addition, Aunt Guo has a bad temper, and the neighbors around her don't like to interact with her.
I'm afraid of being involved and getting into trouble.
Everyone around her knows what kind of person she is.
The older generation still remembers that when Aunt Guo’s eldest daughter-in-law Yuzhi gave birth to the twins Hongxing and Hongwu, she had a difficult delivery and almost died.
As human life was at stake, the second uncle who lived next door couldn't bear it and went home to get a small piece of ginseng for Yuzhi to hold in her mouth.
The couple managed to make it to the hospital, and the twins were saved.
This was originally a good thing, and the kind-hearted second uncle didn't expect any reward.
Aunt Guo was quite a nice person at that time and was polite to the second uncle.
Whenever I make something rare, I will send some over.
Unexpectedly, as the situation changed, her attitude also changed.
When the red armbands came to the door, they took the lead in causing trouble.
The second uncle used to be a playful person and had a lot of bottles and jars collected at home.
From time to time, I would pick up bargains in Panjiayuan and Liulichang.
The house was smashed into pieces and the second uncle was taken away.
When he came back, he was crazy and stupid, and even broke two fingers.
The following spring, when the apricot buds were just forming, he fell into the river and drowned.
Yuzhi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family, may have felt guilty. She did not recover well after the difficult childbirth and was depressed. She passed away a few years later.
Not long after that, the eldest son of the Guo family also met with an accident. He was alone at home burning coal in the middle of winter and was too lazy to open the window, so he suffocated to death.
The remaining sons and daughters were afraid of retribution and did not dare to return home.
The Guo family is in a state of chaos, with some dying and some disbanding.
Only Aunt Guo and Uncle Guo were left to support themselves with their twin grandsons.
People around who knew the situation said that the Guo family was getting their comeuppance and that they deserved it.
God is watching what you do.
Aunt Guo is also a capable person. From time to time, she goes to the street office to take on some small jobs like pasting paper boxes.
With the monthly alimony from several sons and daughters who have left home, life is pretty good.
Of course, these are just what happened on the surface. In addition, she also took some private jobs secretly.
For example, selling some boy's urine. She has two older grandsons, so it's a business with no capital investment.
Some families have daughters-in-law who have difficulty getting pregnant, so the superstitious mother-in-law will secretly buy some for them.
Since someone wanted it, she sold it, a small jar of urine for two dollars.
No bargaining, take it if you want it, forget it if you don’t want it.
Some mothers-in-law tightened their belts and asked for two dollars, and then let their daughters-in-law try it after returning home.
There are always two or three people out of ten who are successful, and the business is gradually booming.
One day, Aunt Guo had nothing to do outside the door, so she went to the courtyard in front of the alley to keep an eye on things.
She was still holding a grudge against what happened last time, and she couldn't just let it go that her grandson, Hongxing Hongwu, was beaten up.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Wang Yaozu who was also looking around furtively, and the two met.
"Auntie, there's a new family here who's been transferred from Shanghai to work at the steel mill. Their surname is Xia. Do you know them?"
"Xia, huh? Young man, I actually know your aunt."
"Come on, let's talk over there."
"What's the matter? You look like you're here to look for your relatives?"
She looked at the man. He was dressed decently, but his accent didn't sound like he was from here.
He took a quick glance and saw that the joints of the man's hands were dark and there was a faint smell of motor oil, so he squinted his eyes.
I thought to myself: He’s driving a big truck, that’s a fat sheep!
Aunt Guo brought the man home and after asking a few questions, she found out that the man was from the Xia family in front.
He seemed to be trying to curry favor with the man, but Wang Yaozu was also a cunning man with a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"I won't hide it from you. I'm here to see my father-in-law. The daughter of the Xia family and I are engaged in our hometown."
"I came all this way here with the transport team, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even get through the door. The Xia family really has a high threshold."
Wang Yaozu's statement was naturally full of loopholes. He didn't even know the girl's name or the new place she moved to.
I guess this marriage is probably a one-sided one.
Even if we take a step back, Aunt Guo herself would not find a partner in Shanghai for her only daughter.
Aunt Guo knew what was going on, but she still pretended to be surprised.
"What? You mean Xia Yue? My goodness, that family is keeping it a secret."
"That bitch Yang Shujuan has been planning to find a partner for Xia Yuexiang for a long time. You're too late."
After saying that, she shook her head and looked at him with sympathetic eyes.
Wang Yaozu spoke half-truthfully, his expression sad again.
"What? My aunt clearly said that the Xia family agreed. I didn't expect her to look down on me like that."
When his aunt Wang Ximei returned to her parents' home, she specifically said that she wanted to match him with the only daughter of the eldest son of the Xia family.
At that time, his mother was not very willing to do so. She disliked that her daughter was too thin and had a small butt. She knew at a glance that she was not suitable for giving birth to a boy.
Wang Yaozu is the only son of the Wang family. His three older sisters all look up to him, so naturally they have their eyes on the sky.
"What do you know? I can harm Yaozu. The Xia family only has one daughter. When we become a family, all the property will belong to our Yaozu. Think about it carefully."
After hearing what his aunt said, his family members, including his mother, persuaded him and reluctantly agreed.
"But what about Pearl? I was almost ready to get together with her."
Pearl was someone he met by chance. She worked at the post office. She was beautiful and outgoing.
He was soon confused and lost as he came and went.
"Son, I'm sorry to have wronged you. After this is done, you can do whatever you want in secret. Mom won't say anything to you."
He thought about it and agreed. If it worked out, he would have to live in Beijing in the future.
Pearl loves him, so naturally she hopes he will get better.
It's a pity that I only have one, otherwise...
His aunt hadn't received a reply to the letter she sent to Beijing, and she was worried. How could she bear to throw away the meat that was almost in her mouth?
Unable to sit still any longer, he went to Zhenzhu to ask about the mailing address of Lao Xia's family, and followed the transport team to Beijing.
He gave the team leader some money and ran out to look for someone.
I didn't expect to hear this news from Aunt Guo, and I instantly became angry and embarrassed.
"What kind of person is this? He promised his daughter to two people. He really thinks his daughter is a fairy!"
Aunt Guo twisted her mouth and added fuel to the fire: "Young man, I'm not saying anything bad, but that girl is not a good person either. She's so rude to us old people."
"A person like this is not fit to be someone's daughter-in-law!"
"When you marry her home, there will be a lot of trouble at home."
"No, the Xia family will have to give me an explanation sooner or later."
Aunt Guo grabbed Wang Yaozu, who was about to rush out, and spoke to him in a gentle manner.
"Are you stupid, kid? If you make a scene now, you're just playing into their hands."
"If someone refuses to admit it, they can find someone better the next time."
"If you really want to marry me, you have to be sincere."
"Oh no! I haven't even washed the rice yet, even though I'm talking to you."
"Forget it, since the rice has been cooked, we can just make do with it."
