Chapter 9: Twists and turns again
"Zhao Yunyun told people outside that it was she, Zhao Yunyun, who had been dating Fu Zhenggang the entire time, and her sister, Zhao Jingxiang, was in charge of delivering the message."
"That's not true. Fu Zhenggang and Zhao Yunyun haven't been in touch. Fu Zhenggang was brought to the compound by Zhao Jingxiang."
Gao Xiulan was the first one who didn't believe this.
"She said she and Fu Zhenggang were high school classmates and knew each other since school."
"After graduation, Zhao Yunyun chose to go to the countryside to support national construction. After training at the grassroots level, she felt that her proletarian consciousness had been significantly enhanced."
"Fu Zhenggang admired Zhao Yunyun's independence and courage even more, and took the initiative to propose that they become revolutionary partners."
"Zhao Yunyun applied to come back to visit relatives this time to get married."
This rhetoric seems to have obvious loopholes to people in the compound, but people outside don't know it.
No matter how outrageous the words are, some people will believe them as they spread.
Lin Xiaotong was stunned by what she heard, and Gao Xiulan was also unable to recover for a long time.
"I think that maybe Fu Zhenggang was also half-hearted in facilitating the good thing that happened that night."
I have to say that you are telling the truth.
The bride was replaced, what a trick to replace the star with the moon.
"With those green eyes, he still wants to have everything he wants. Really..."
Gao Xiulan really couldn't understand why these two sisters both fell in love with him.
Lin Xiaotong continued: "A toad wants to eat swan flesh, but it is ugly and has no fun."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
"You know what, this approach is indeed the method that minimizes the losses to the Zhao and Fu families."
"Daya's reputation hasn't been affected too much. Since she's not engaged yet, this is the first time she's found a partner."
…
At home, Xia Caiyun heard Fu Wenlei say that Zhao Yunyun was going to marry her son. She was so angry that she smashed the cup and yelled loudly at home.
"I said that little bitch is not a good thing. She looks so seductive."
"No, I absolutely disagree with this marriage. I will never accept her marrying our son."
"Old Fu's daughter-in-law is such a person. I won't be able to hold my head up in front of the neighbors anymore."
"Fu Wenlei, if you are a man, you should cancel the engagement."
Xia Caiyun knew at first sight that Zhao Yunyun was not an easy person to deal with. After going to the countryside for a year, who knew if she was still a decent woman.
Humph, a woman like this still wants to enter the Fu family? Forget it.
Fu Wenlei looked at the shrew-like Xia Caiyun with disappointment: "If you let Zhao Yunyun go and report Zheng Gang for hooliganism, then you should just quit."
“You have to think clearly. You have more than one son, Zhenggang. The eldest son also works in the government.
If you let this matter affect the boss's future, I will make you pay."
The eldest son of the Fu family is not as idle as the younger son. After graduating from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, the eldest son, Fu Zhengze, was assigned to work in the district government.
Political innocence is very important to him.
Many people with bright futures are dragged down in just one night.
As the most promising person of the Fu family's generation to cross class barriers, Fu Zhengze has a bright future.
At this time, Fu Wenlei would never allow anything to hinder him.
After hearing this, Xia Caiyun was like a chicken with its neck strangled. She couldn't speak, her face turned red, and she was so angry that she smashed a cup.
…
Lin Xiaotong picked up the cup and drank the malted milk brewed by her mother-in-law Gao Xiulan, squinting her eyes happily.
"Xiaotong, after dinner, come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"I'd like to buy some fancy buttons to go with the fabric you bought."
Gao Xiulan remembered the bunch of good materials that Lin Xiaotong had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, but she didn't have suitable buttons at home.
"Okay, Mom, I'll take you on my bike. Let me tell you, Mom, I'm really good at riding a bike. I can even drift."
Mom, I see your hair is a little long. Let’s go get a haircut. I also want bangs.”
"OK."
Lin Xiaotong pushed the bicycle and walked to the front yard with Gao Xiulan.
Diao Yulian, who lived in the west, was coaxing her and Wu Shengli's late-born son Wu Jiabao to have dinner.
Wu Jiabao was spoiled by Diao Yulian since he was a child. The seven or eight-year-old boy was very naughty.
The child didn't want to eat and always wanted to go out and play catch ghosts. One was feeding the other and the other was hiding. Before he knew it, his clothes were stained with soup.
Diao Yulian held Wu Jiabao under the eaves and coaxed him to eat more. Diao Yulian was exhausted.
Diao Yulian, who was holding the porch pillar and catching her breath, suddenly saw Gao Xiulan, who was dressed neatly and cleanly, leaving the house, and she immediately felt unhappy.
"Hey! Gao Xiulan is dressed so neatly today. Where are you going?"
Diao Yulian was unhappy, and Gao Xiulan became more and more excited, holding her head high.
"My Xiaotong bought a set of fashionable fabrics for me and my husband, Lao Xie.
Well, I said no, but Xiaotong insisted on buying it for me. You know what? I have to go again to find a few suitable buttons.
Going back and forth really delayed a lot of things, and Xiaotong also wanted to take me to get a cadre haircut."
Gao Xiulan spoke as she touched her hair which had grown to her shoulders.
"This is all from the child's heart. If I refuse, won't I hurt her feelings?"
"Gao Xiulan, if you don't leave now, the supply and marketing cooperative will be closed. I wonder where you'll be able to buy buttons."
Diao Yulian hated Gao Xiulan's smug look the most.
"Oh, I won't chat with you any more. Xiaotong, ride your bike faster and don't wait until the supply and marketing cooperative closes."
"Hey, Mom, just sit tight. I promise I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative in ten minutes."
Lin Xiaotong patted her chest and looked very reliable.
"Mom, I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative too. I want to eat some fruit candy.
I saw Hu Tou and the others eating that kind of candy before, the candy wrappers were shiny, but I don’t have any.”
Wu Jiabao got angry when he thought about the time when he was not given any tiger head.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat.
You don't even want to eat, yet you still want candy. I think you're a fool."
Diao Yulian was so angry that she scolded Wu Jiabao directly.
"Ahhh, ahhh, I want it, I want it.
You are not my mother, I want to recognize Grandma Zhang as my grandmother."
When Wu Jiabao saw that he couldn't get the candy, he started howling.
"You little bastard, I think you've rebelled.
Come here! Come here! Where do you want to run to? "
…
Last time, Xia Caiyun was so angry that she smashed two cups, so today she wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some new ones.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that I met Zhao Yunyun who was buying clothes.
Xia Caiyun was picking and choosing with the cup in her hand, speaking slowly and leisurely, her voice just loud enough for people around her to hear.
“Some people, even though they’re little girls, are very thick-skinned.
She rushed to send it to the man's house, without any shame at all."
“Some men are honest and become soft-hearted when a woman cries.
I won't fall for that. I'll see how long I can keep pretending."
Lin Xiaotong drove Gao Xiulan all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative at lightning speed. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Xia Caiyun's sarcastic words.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and tacitly walked to the counter next to them and pretended to pick buttons, while eating melons with their ears perked up.
Unexpectedly, Xia Caiyun and Zhao Yunyun met at the supply and marketing cooperative.
This was the first time for everyone, and Zhao Yunyun didn't spoil her. She wasn't her parent, so she spoke directly.
"Dogs are allowed in the supply and marketing cooperative. Some mad dog got in without a leash and started barking everywhere."
