When Xuemei was about to reach her door, she saw Aunt Liu talking to Li Quanmin.
"Aunt Liu, Brother Quanmin, what are you doing?"
"Sister Xuemei, you're back today." Li Quanmin saw Xuemei breathe a sigh of relief and quickly replied.
"I'm not working today. Are you practicing walking?" Li Quanmin often used a cane to practice walking around the village. Xuemei noticed that he didn't have any today and continued, "Quanmin, you don't need a cane to walk anymore. It looks like you've recovered well."
"Well, I can walk without help these two days. I'll see if I can walk up the mountain by myself in a while." Li Quanmin said happily. After that, he looked at Aunt Wang who was still there and said goodbye quickly: "Aunt Liu, Sister Xuemei, I'm tired. I want to go home and rest."
After Li Quanmin finished speaking, he limped towards home. It now took an ordinary person three or four steps to take one step for Li Quanmin.
After seeing Li Quanmin leave, Aunt Liu came over to Xuemei and said, "This youngest son of Accountant Li is so tight-lipped. I couldn't get anything out of him."
Seeing Xuemei's puzzled expression, Aunt Liu continued, "Xuemei, don't you know that a big thing happened in the village today?"
"Aunt Liu, what happened in the village? I'll be away from home for an hour or two today." Xuemei asked curiously.
Aunt Liu pulled Xuemei to the side of the road and whispered, "Did Li Deliang's wife, Yi Jiao, take advantage of no one being home and have an affair today? Li Deliang usually doesn't come home at noon, but today was strange. He forgot to get his lunch this morning and only came home to eat at noon.
As soon as he got home, he heard noises in the house. Thinking there was a thief, he rushed in with a hoe. Unexpectedly, his wife was having sex with another man. As soon as he entered the room, he saw two naked bodies. If his wife hadn't stopped them, the man would have survived..."
Xuemei felt something was wrong, so she pretended to cough, "Ahem...Aunt Liu, I still have some unfinished business at home. I'll be going home first."
Only then did Aunt Liu realize that Xuemei was still an unmarried young girl, not like the other aunts or young wives in the village. She also blamed herself for not being able to control her mouth. She slapped her lips and quickly made amends, "Xuemei, look at my mouth. I didn't mean to say these dirty things to you little girls. Don't go home and tell your parents."
Xuemei nodded randomly and quickly pushed the cart home.
…
That day, when Xuemei came home from get off work and pushed her bicycle into the yard, she saw Liu's mother and Wang Shuihua talking to Aunt Liu while taking off a cotton jacket in the yard.
"Second mother, you and my mother are getting cotton-padded jackets now! Hey! Aunt Liu, you can come to my house and play today if you are free." Xuemei greeted.
Aunt Liu saw Xuemei coming back and said, "Xuemei, you're back from get off work. Your mother is finally free from work, so I came here specially to visit. Time flies so fast just talking to your mother. It's time for us to go home. Your sister-in-law should be almost done today." After that, she took her grandson home.
Xuemei put away her bicycle and asked, "Mom, what did Aunt Liu talk to you about today? Why is she coming home so late?" Xuemei found it very strange. Usually, Aunt Liu would go home to cook at around four o'clock at the latest after playing here.
"What else can I say? Let's talk about Li Deliang's family! Don't mention them, it's unlucky." After saying this, Liu's mother put away the clothes basket and went into the main room.
"That's right, Li Deliang is the most heartless man I have ever met. He doesn't even take such a big green hat on his head seriously.
Before the autumn harvest this year, my cousin's wife was still thinking that his eldest daughter, Li Fen, could do everything at home; she had a big butt and big breasts, and looked healthy and easy to give birth to; her face also looked honest and very decent; she was about the same age as his youngest son. I had planned to find an opportunity to match them up after the autumn harvest.
During the autumn harvest, I heard that Li Fen's uncle had sent her to another province to care for her aunt two days before the harvest. She was disappointed for a while. "Looking back, it's a good thing it didn't work out. If it had, my cousin's family would have such an in-law, and I'd be scolded to death. After all, life isn't just about money; it also needs dignity," Wang Shuihua said as she sewed.
"Sister-in-law, why did your cousins fall in love with Li Deliang's eldest daughter at that time? He has only two daughters, and his youngest daughter is still in junior high school. It must be that the eldest daughter stayed at home to find a husband. Do your cousins agree?" Liu's mother asked in confusion.
"Although my cousin's youngest son is good-looking and doesn't do any stealing in the village, his health has never been so good. Six or seven work points a day is already considered high for him. Anyway, the work points he earns are just enough for his own food and drink. But it will be difficult for him to support his wife in the future. That's why my cousin and his wife want him to marry into the Li family. After all, Yi Jiao has a job, and it will definitely be left to his eldest daughter in the future." Wang Shuihua explained.
"That makes sense, but it's a good thing it didn't happen, otherwise the situation would be unpredictable now. After all, Li Deliang's family is too shameless." Liu's mother said helplessly.
Li Deliang had intended to go to the Revolutionary Committee that day to accuse his wife and the man of hooliganism, but it's unclear what happened next. Li Deliang took his wife home that evening, and there's no word on what punishment the man who committed adultery with her faced. Accountant Li and his wife returned home that day, their faces livid. The next day, Accountant Li spread the word throughout the village that he and Li Deliang were strangers, and the two families had completely severed ties.
A few days later, Aunt Wang's son saw Li Deliang working at the cannery and learned that he had become a temporary worker there. Now, whenever anyone in the village brings up the incident in front of Li Deliang and his wife, they claim that Accountant Li and his wife held a grudge against them and deliberately framed Yi Jiao and misled Li Deliang, even though nothing had actually happened.
