One of the men in plain clothes was very surprised and waved, "Come down quickly, stop pretending to be a monkey."
Mingmei: “…”
Can you speak?
She jumped down, quite surprised, and asked, "He Chen, why are you back?"
Without waiting for his reply, she turned to help Zhao Guihua: "Mom, be careful."
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, I'm fine."
After being reborn for so long, this was the first time she felt so embarrassed. She felt a little ashamed. Others who had traveled back in time and were reborn were not as useless as her. She sighed and said, "How come we ran into a wild boar out of nowhere?"
It is really fortunate that I met the People's Liberation Army comrades, otherwise they might have encountered some trouble.
Although Mingmei looked quite capable, she didn't have anything to hold in her hand. She was so scared that she almost had a heart attack or she would have died. She grabbed Mingmei's arm, but she was actually using her as a support to prevent herself from falling.
She tried hard to calm herself down. She must not be too timid in front of her daughter-in-law's friends, otherwise wouldn't it embarrass her daughter-in-law?
She coughed, actually to calm herself down.
Soon, she smiled and said, "This is your friend. Hello, little brother."
He Chen smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Mingmei's childhood friend, you can just call me Xiao He."
At this time, a trembling voice came: "Help, help me..."
Leung Mei-fun can't come down...
Her legs were so weak that she couldn't move. Zhao Guihua looked at her and scolded her, "What a fool! How can you be so ignorant? It's just a wild boar. What's the big deal?"
That was true, but he still walked over, well, holding Mingmei's arm.
Mingmei also noticed that her mother-in-law was actually so frightened that she couldn't stand steadily, but she didn't expose the old lady.
A few young soldiers came forward and said, "Come down, I'll help you."
With their help, Liang Meifen, Aunt Wang and the others finally got down from the tree quietly. But their legs were shaking as if something was wrong with them. In short, they were all really scared. The tough man who led them frowned and said, "Why did you go up the mountain?"
Mingmei wondered, "Can't we go up the mountain?"
Perhaps her question was too confident, the tough man was stunned for a moment, then said: "No, there is a sign at the foot of the mountain. There have been wild boars injuring people on the mountain recently, and a sign has been put up not to allow people to go up the mountain."
Mingmei: “…”
She was quite serious and said directly: "No, we came up from the south and didn't see any sign."
She touched her nose and sighed: "No wonder we said there were not many people..."
They thought it was because the weather was too hot, but it turned out that was not the case at all.
The tough man looked at the people behind him, and one of them said, "We've also put up a sign on the south side. Maybe they didn't see it. Let me go over and check it out, so that it's out in the open."
"Can."
Mingmei didn't see any sign anyway, so she didn't feel guilty. She turned around and looked at the others. Everyone looked very pale, but it was okay. She said seriously: "We really didn't see any sign, otherwise we wouldn't have come up. This is so unlucky. Look how scared we are."
He Chen: "Are you all okay? Is everything okay?"
Mingmei shook her head, "I'm sure I'll be fine."
She asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Guihua said firmly: "What can happen to me? I have seen everything at my age. It's just a wild boar. What can it do to me? I can kill a big wild boar with one punch. I can take care of them in minutes."
This bragging started immediately.
He Chen couldn't help but almost spit it out, then quickly pretended to cough and said, "Well... Oh, yes, let me introduce you, this is our comrade Zou Ning."
This is the introduction of the tough man in the lead. Mingmei said cheerfully: "Hello, my name is Mingmei, this is my mother-in-law, this is my sister-in-law, they are really my neighbors." She smiled and sighed: "We originally wanted to see if there were any fish, but we encountered wild boars. It was really scary. Are you going up the mountain to catch wild boars?"
"right."
Zou Ning explained: "There are wild boars in this mountain that have injured people three times, so the village at the foot of the mountain asked us for help."
He Chen smiled and said, "I recently went home to visit my family on vacation. I wanted to come and see my friends, but I saw them going up the mountain, so I followed them. I didn't expect to meet you."
Mingmei also smiled and said, "You didn't even come to see me when you came back. That's really disloyal of you."
He Chen: "No, I was planning to go see you, but you are not as important as our Zou Ning, right? So I came to see him first, and I was thinking of going to your house to see you tomorrow. I heard that you gave birth to a child? Oh my god, when I came back this time, my mother chased me and said that you already have a child, and I am the same age as you and still single. She has arranged seven blind dates for me. Don't you think it's scary?"
Mingmei looked at him sympathetically and said, "Good luck to you."
Zou Ning looked at the two men and said, "He Chen, you take them down the mountain. I'll lead the others around the mountain. There's more than one wild boar on the mountain. I'll check them carefully and try to deal with them all at once."
He Chen: "Okay."
He said, "I'll take you down the mountain."
He looked at the female comrades and said, "Can you still walk?"
"able."
He Chen and Ming Mei were quite familiar with each other, but else's eyes were not on He Chen, but on the wild boar. At this time, no one was more attractive than the wild boar.
Everyone looked over, and Mingmei felt distressed, but what belonged to them was still theirs.
She joked: "Stop looking at it and wipe your saliva."
At this time, except Zhao Guihua, everyone else went to wipe their saliva.
Zhao Guihua was speechless and asked the heavens, "You have no saliva, don't wipe it off, Mingmei is fooling you. Really..."
She also glared at Mingmei. There were outsiders here, and she was just joking.
Mingmei didn't care, she smiled and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
Today's battle was not going well, but what else can we do?
She said: "We can't help much here. If we stay, we will only cause trouble to the PLA uncles. Let's go."
Zou Ning raised his head and glanced at Mingmei.
Mingmei smiled at the people, then looked at the wild boar, feeling regretful!
If she had moved faster, could she have killed the wild boar? Woohoo, I am destined to be with a wild boar. Mingmei was melancholy: "Wild boars and I are really not destined to be together."
He Chen chuckled and said, "How do you think we are destined to be together? Don't you know you almost got into trouble? You are so bold. And look at that small kitchen knife you are holding. What can that thing do? You have to know that the wild boars in this mountain have thick skin and flesh. Ordinary knives can't hurt them at all."
Zhao Guihua had heard of this. Although wild boars are still pigs, they are completely different from domestic pigs that have lived in the mountains for years. They are ferocious and have thick skin and flesh. It is said that only old hunters can deal with them, and it is really not easy for ordinary people.
They were lucky this time as they met someone going up the mountain. If not, it would be hard to say whether they could have dealt with it.
She said: "We were lucky to meet the People's Liberation Army this time. We don't want to see this thing again in the future."
Mingmei felt sympathetic when she saw that everyone was still upset.
She waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain."
She said, "Help each other."
Mingmei took the initiative to support Zhao Guihua and said, "Mom. Are you okay?"
Zhao Guihua still wanted to show her strength and not embarrass Mingmei: "I'm fine. It's just that your sister-in-law is scared. I'm not afraid at all."
He Chen held back his laughter, thinking that Ming Mei, the mother-in-law, was quite interesting.
They were about to leave when someone suddenly spoke.
"He Chen."
He Chen turned around: "What?"
Zou Ning looked at He Chen, then moved his gaze to the others and said, "You were also frightened. I'll give you a wild boar leg each. Go back and divide it among the five of you. This will help calm your nerves."
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned by this. Zhao Guihua quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, this is your harvest. We have been rescued. How can we still take your things? We don't want them."
"That's right! We can't accept this." Aunt Wang also nodded vigorously.
The others were the same and spoke up one after another.
Although they were greedy for the meat, it was the PLA who had fought for it, and besides, they had helped them. How could they have the nerve to take their things? Everyone was very firm: "We don't want it."
Zou Ning pursed his lips. He Chen looked around and said, "Forget it, Zou Ning. I don't think Mingmei and the others want this wild boar. You can carry it back to the camp."
Mingmei nodded on the side. They wanted the People's Liberation Army's things. How could this be?
She said: "We don't want it. Who do you think we are?"
After a pause, she continued, "I know you mean well, but there's really no need."
She said, "Come on, let's go down the mountain."
"become."
Everyone agrees with this statement. Although everyone's eyes are glued to the wild boar, they are not the kind of people who covet wild boars. They just like them, purely like them, but everyone still has a natural admiration for soldiers. They will never take advantage of them.
He Chen escorted Mingmei and the others down the mountain. After walking a few steps, Mingmei suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask, "Comrade Zou Ning, I want to ask, can we still go up the mountain to dig vegetables in a few days?"
Zou Ning: "Wait a little longer. We will clear out the wild boars soon. But the forest is so big that we can't be sure if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, so we will go up the mountain a few more times to make sure everything is safe. If you want to be safe, you can wait a little longer, at most a month."
Mingmei nodded: "I see, thank you."
Zou Ning nodded slightly, turned around and left with his men.
He Chen led Mingmei and the others down the mountain, making a lot of noise along the way. He said, "Hey!~ I heard you gave birth to twins? Aren't they cute?"
Mingmei said proudly: "How can my child not be cute? Didn't you use your brain when you asked this question? I was the cutest when I was a child, and of course my child is the cutest now. My husband and I are both good-looking, and our child looks a lot like us."
The corner of He Chen's mouth twitched: "You are quite good at boasting."
He smiled and said to Zhao Guihua beside him: "Aunt, does Sister Ming brag like this at home? You guys don't expose her."
Zhao Guihua wanted to give face to her daughter-in-law at this time. She said: "Mingmei is not bragging at all."
She smiled and said, "You will know when you come to my house. My grandson and granddaughter are really cute. Xiao Tuan Tuan and Xiao Yuan Yuan are chubby white babies with cute smiles."
He Chen laughed.
Zhao Guihua had some impression of He Chen, but not much.
After all, in her previous life, because she didn't have an internal family, she had a cold relationship with Mingmei and her family. The young couple Mingmei would not tell them many things, and Zhao Guihua was not very clear about who their friends were.
However, she had some impression of He Chen. It seemed that He Chen's father and Mingmei's father were from the same unit, and the two families got along well. He Chen himself seemed to be working in a foreign army, and he didn't come back to Beijing very often, but he had always been in contact with Mingmei and her husband.
Of course, no matter what happened in her previous life, Zhao Guihua was calm in this life. She looked at He Chen and asked, "How old are you?"
He Chen: "I am the same age as Mingmei."
He smiled and said, "Auntie, you... Hey! Damn it!"
As he was talking, he saw a rabbit. Mingmei was quicker than him and chased after it.
He Chen: "Be careful!"
Mingmei: "I know!"
Mingmei caught up quickly. Although people say that rabbits run fast, that's because they haven't met an expert. If they met an expert, they would know that they would be caught in minutes. Mingmei rushed forward quickly and caught the rabbit before she ran far.
She was extremely happy.
"success!"
At least the trip up the mountain was not in vain.
She was so happy that she shook the rabbit's ears and said, "I caught it."
"sharp!"
From a distance, everyone gave a thumbs up.
Mingmei smiled brightly, with a hint of pride, "I told you I'm great, I...eh?"
She looked at the lush green area not far away. She walked over without hesitation. Zhao Guihua immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingmei walked over to where her eyes were looking and soon called out in surprise: "Mom, come here, there is a small piece of wild celery over here."
Although we were going down the mountain, how could we refuse such a good thing? Of course not! When several people heard this, their waists and legs were no longer sore, and the shock they had just felt was swept away. Soon, everyone came over.
Zhao Guihua: "It really is wild celery. It has grown in abundance."
"What else is there to say? Let's get started." Aunt Wang was very happy.
If there is something gained, then it won't be a wasted trip.
She thought so, and so did the others. Everyone happily started to pull up the wild celery. He Chen quickly came up to help and said, "I'll do it too."
He sighed: "There are still many things in this mountain."
"Of course, we came here last year, but we haven't had time this year because we were taking care of the kids." Zhao Guihua also sighed, but her hands were not slow at all. The old ladies were all good at work. Although the wild celery patch didn't look small, everyone worked together and finished the job quickly.
"This celery tastes good when fried."
“My family likes celery buns.”
"Don't we still have to use white flour?"
"That's right, eh."
Mingmei looked around and said, "We rarely come here."
Although they often come up the mountain, they rarely come here, and basically spread out around the pond on the top of the mountain. If Mingmei hadn't been chasing rabbits today, she wouldn't have come here. The Xitian Mountain is lush and green, with birds singing and cicadas chirping. She sighed: "It would be great if there were no wild boars. I'll look around."
He Chen: "Let's go. Safety is the most important thing."
This is true, and everyone agreed: "Let's go."
That wild boar is so scary. How can it be so horrible? It tastes good, but it's really scary.
"Why……"
Mingmei spoke again at this time: "Do you see that piece of honeysuckle?"
"Honeysuckle? What is that?"
Mingmei: "Did the recycling station buy it? This is valuable."
She walked over without hesitation.
Everyone hurried to catch up. He Chen, who was responsible for sending them down the mountain, also followed with great interest, with a bit of curiosity: "What the hell is this?"
Mingmei: “Really.”
She didn't know this before, but Zhuang Zhixi used to work in a medical office and had some books at home. She would read some hypnosis books when she had nothing to do and learn some common sense.
Mingmei said happily: "That's true."
"What is it really?"
"Honeysuckle, we can pick some and take them home to dry. The recycling station will collect them."
“This thing can be sold for money.”
"Of course."
"That would be great."
Although they lost the wild boar, their trip was not in vain. They picked another round of honeysuckle. It was already noon when they finally got down the mountain. The sun was shining brightly. Zhao Guihua and her friends came here by bike, but they did not ride up the mountain. They dug vegetables along the way. It was inconvenient to push the bike up the mountain, so they hid the bike in a corner near the bottom of the mountain. They even locked the bike to a tree trunk.
A few people found the bicycles, and He Chen finally sent them off.
He said, "Okay, I'm not going to send you off anymore. Be careful on your way back."
After a pause, he said, "Hey, Mingmei."
Mingmei: “Hmm?” He Chen: “I’ll go visit your kids next year.”
Mingmei: "I'm at work, come after get off work."
"No problem."
The two of them agreed, and a group of five female comrades rode home together. Aunt Wang, as an experienced matchmaker, said, "This boy doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
Mingmei: "No. Didn't you hear him just now? His family arranged seven blind dates for him when he returned home this time."
Aunt Wang said unnaturally: "I was too nervous just now. My heart was about to jump out of my chest, so how could I hear what others said?"
"It's really scary. I don't want to come here again." Aunt Sui said. She was scared.
Zhao Guihua said, "Fortunately Wang Zizhen didn't come, otherwise do you think this would have been resolved? It's scary to think about it."
"Didn't you just say you weren't afraid?"
"I can't brag?"
Everyone groaned.
Aunt Wang: "Mingmei, which matchmaker did He Chen find to introduce him to someone? Actually, I can introduce him to someone. I have someone suitable in my hands."
This is what a matchmaker is like. She wants to tie red strings all day long.
Mingmei begged for mercy: "I don't know about this. If you are interested, ask me tomorrow. I won't get involved."
It was inappropriate for her to get involved, but there was no need to say this.
Because they finished earlier, when Zhao Guihua and her group returned home, Zhuang Zhiyuan and Zhuang Laonian had not returned yet. Zhao Guihua pushed the cart into the yard. It was just past noon, and the yard was still quiet. Many people were taking a nap at home.
It's a rare weekend to have a rest, and everyone really wants to take a break at noon.
No one made a fuss and everyone pushed their carts home.
When Mingmei entered the house, she saw Zhuang Zhixi taking a nap with the child in his arms. She tiptoed out with a basin and soap and stood in the yard to wash her face and hair. Liang Meifen and the others were also sweating and came out to wash. She said, "I don't know where Zhiyuan ran off to."
Zhao Guihua knows this.
She said: "The fishing rods are missing. They must have gone fishing. They didn't come back at noon."
Ever since he had good results fishing last year, Zhuang Laonian has fallen in love with fishing. He goes fishing every few days. Fortunately, he always catches some fish, which has greatly improved the family's food.
Young wives like Mingmei were too embarrassed to take a shower in the yard, so they just washed their hair and face and carried water into the house to wipe their bodies. Old ladies like Zhao Guihua didn't care about that, they just took the water and poured it on themselves. Liang Meifen said, "Mom, don't catch a cold."
Zhao Guihua: "It's okay. It's so hot, I can't get cold. I took advantage of the fact that everyone is taking a nap at noon and no one is hurrying. If I dawdle for a while, someone will wake up and I won't be able to rush."
She took a shower only after observing that there was no one watching. She took a quick shower and went straight home to change clothes.
Zhao Guihua: "Wash your hair and clean it before going to bed, otherwise you will easily get a migraine."
“Yes.”
Mingmei returned to her room, changed her dirty clothes and wiped herself, feeling refreshed. She found a large vest and put it on, and then changed into the large shorts she wore for running. Mingmei was changing when she seemed to notice a gaze.
When she looked up, she saw that Zhuang Zhixi had woken up. He was supporting his head with his arms and looking at her with a smile.
Mingmei said coquettishly: "What are you looking at?"
Zhuang Zhixi patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and lie down for a while."
Mingmei didn't refuse at all, she was a little tired. She came to lie down on the kang and looked at the two children, who were sleeping soundly. It was fortunate that they replaced the bed with a kang last year. If it was still a bed, there would not be enough space for the two little guys to stretch out.
Even though he makes a lot of noise when he turns over on weekdays, he turns over very smoothly when he falls asleep.
These are two little brats who are turning the world upside down.
Mingmei: "What did they have for lunch?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I steamed eggs for them. I steamed two extra eggs for lunch. One little one was fed one, and each drank half a bottle of milk. They have really good appetites."
Mingmei was relieved when she heard that the baby was full. She said, "I haven't eaten anything yet."
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said, "Then I'll get you some peach cakes, you can have some."
Mingmei nodded.
She lay on the kang and didn't want to move, but Zhuang Zhixi was diligent. He got up and brought her some peach cakes and poured her some water.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Mingmei: "We encountered a wild boar and were almost attacked, but luckily..."
She didn't hide it. When she told him the story, Zhuang Zhixi was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He reached out and slapped her butt and said, "Look at you. Why are you so impulsive at this time? Fortunately, there are people around. Otherwise, if something really happened, what would happen to me and the child? Why are you being so stubborn at this time?"
Mingmei was not convinced and said, "You think I am trying to show off? The wild boar wouldn't leave, so what could I do? And it bumped into the tree where I was hiding, so I couldn't do anything either."
"You're still stubborn." Zhuang Zhixi pinched her.
Mingmei snorted and kicked him. She looked into Zhuang Zhixi's eyes. Although his tone was not very good, he looked really worried. She immediately softened her heart and leaned over to hug Zhuang Zhixi's neck and said, "I won't do this again in the future. In fact, I was also scared at that time."
When she acted so soft and coquettishly, Zhuang Zhixi hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't go there anymore in the future."
He stroked Mingmei's hair gently and said, "Pulling the hair won't scare you."
Mingmei burst out laughing.
She said coquettishly, "I will never act stubbornly in the future. Okay, don't look so stern, or you'll scare Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. Oh, by the way, He Chen will be here tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhixi's eyes flashed: "When will he come?"
Mingmei: "I think he'll wait until I get off work."
She said, "It's OK. It's OK if he comes earlier. I think he gets along well with my mother-in-law."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Mingmei: "He Chen is very outgoing."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Is this He Chen the one you mentioned? The one his parents brought you together."
Mingmei: "Yes, it's him."
She raised her head and teased with a smile: "Why, are you jealous?"
Zhuang Zhixi pursed his lips and said, "Do you think I'm jealous? I'm so attractive, you definitely don't like him. If you like him, what does it have to do with me? So I certainly don't have to worry about anything."
He said so, but his jaw was still clenched.
Mingmei laughed softly and said, "You know everything, why are you still unhappy? There's nothing between us, we just have a revolutionary friendship that got into trouble together. But I don't know what his parents thought, they thought we were childhood sweethearts, knew each other well, and would definitely get along well. So they randomly matched us up. His mom is a bit narrow-minded, and she has some background, so they were afraid that she would put pressure on my parents, so they arranged a blind date right away."
She held Zhuang Zhixi's face and said, "In fact, neither of us had that intention. He quickly signed up to join the army and ran away, and I quickly found someone to go on a blind date with. I had to find someone I liked, and I couldn't let them randomly match me up. Fortunately, I met you on my first blind date. When I saw you walk in, I thought you were so handsome."
Zhuang Zhixi said in a low voice: "So you were only attracted by my face."
Mingmei said confidently: "That's right, if I don't like her face, then I naturally don't want to go any further."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You judge people by their appearance."
Mingmei glared at him: "Then you are the same? If I were not good-looking, would you agree immediately?"
Zhuang Zhixi thought about it and said honestly, "Probably not. When I first saw you, I thought you were so beautiful, and I wanted to protect you."
Mingmei: “…”
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Zhuang Zhixi was very calm: "Later I realized that the one who really needed protection was not you, but me."
Mingmei burst out laughing.
Both of them laughed. In fact, Zhuang Zhixi was not really jealous. He knew that He Chen was fine. If there was anything wrong, Mingmei would not come out for a blind date. So he was not too worried.
The two of them fooled around together for a while, and Mingmei said, "Sleep with me for a while."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
It was a very hot day, but the young couple felt too hot and took a nap in each other's arms.
The courtyard was quiet, but at this time, Bai Fendou was wearing a flowered dress and a headscarf, walking on the country road. As a grown man, he certainly didn't have a dress. This dress belonged to Aunt Wang.
In their yard, the only clothes he could wear were Aunt Wang's.
Aunt Wang was not at home, so Li Fang took the initiative to lend him the skirt.
It's normal to borrow clothes from each other these days.
Some people even have to borrow a piece of clothing to get married.
Bai Fendou was a man after all, and even though Aunt Wang was strong, Bai Fendou's clothes were still a little tight. But it was OK, he could barely wear them. He had short hair, and couldn't find a wig, so he could only wear a headscarf.
Well, many old women work in the fields, so it's normal for them to wear headscarves.
Bai Fendou's makeup was done by Zhuang Zhixi. He seriously suspected that Zhuang Zhixi was deliberately taking revenge on him, otherwise how could she make him look so ugly. Bai Fendou swore that he had never seen such an ugly "woman".
You smell so good, wow.
I feel sick just by smelling it.
He walked in the countryside and soon arrived at the entrance of the village. There were several houses at the entrance and he saw an old lady coming out to pour water. The old lady didn't seem to expect to meet such a genius. She exclaimed, took a step back, and was really scared.
This girl is uglier than Wang Erya in the village.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the village?"
Bai Fendou saw this and hurried forward. He pinched his throat and said in a shrill voice, "Auntie, can I have some water to drink? I'm here to see Fan Jianguo."
"Are you looking for Fan Jianguo? Oh, the boy from old Fan's family!" The old lady looked Bai Fendou up and down and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you some water."
The country folk were also enthusiastic. Seeing the ugly woman sweating, she went home and poured some water. Bai Fendou drank it all up and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
The aunt looked at Bai Fendou again and said, "Sister, why are you looking for Fan Jianguo? Who are you to his family? Why haven't I seen you before?"
At this moment, Bai Fendou immediately became shy. He acted a little embarrassed, but quickly said, "I'm his girlfriend."
Zhuang Zhixi's first plan was to pretend to be Fan Jianguo's girlfriend whenever someone asked.
"What the hell!!!" The old lady looked at Bai Fendou in shock, incredulous: "You are talking nonsense!"
Bai Fendou remembered Zhuang Zhixi's instructions and said, "Auntie, how can you talk like that? How can I just say nonsense? Jianguo and I are in a relationship, what nonsense is there to talk about?"
She pretended to be angry and said, "Come on, come with me to the Fan family and talk. I thought you were a good person. How can you, from this village, talk like this?"
The old lady quickly grabbed Bai Fendou and said, "You didn't lie?"
The old lady of the Fan family was a vicious shrew. She didn't want to offend him. She looked at Bai Fendou again, and still felt that it was impossible. Was Fan Jianguo's vision like this? Was he blind or blind or blind?
"I don't mean any harm, Auntie. I just... no, I really haven't heard that Fan Jianguo has a partner like you."
Bai Fendou: "That's impossible!"
He pretended to be serious: "We have known each other for six or seven years."
He added: "If he hadn't gone to the army, we would have gotten married."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Then tell me about it."
Bai Fendou took a deep breath, acted shy, and said, "Auntie, there's nothing to say. But you, tell me about it. How could you not know me? Didn't his family tell about me?"
Well, Zhuang Zhixi's second strategy: blur his own affairs and take the initiative to ask more questions about Fan Jianguo.
He said: "We have been together for so many years, and his family has never mentioned me in the village?"
The old lady shook her head silently: "No. Never mentioned it at all."
She became excited when she heard that.
Could it be that she knew some big secret?
She quickly said, "His family really never mentioned it."
"Mom, who is it? Oh my gosh~"
A woman came out, she seemed to be the old lady's daughter-in-law. When she saw Bai Fendou, she took a step back out of anger.
Bai struggled hard to be calm.
Zhuang Zhixi put powder on him, secretly pouring it from Mingmei's powder box. His face was much whiter than before, and his lips were painted red. He bought this for his wife He Ye, but He Ye didn't dare to use it, so he let him enjoy it.
He wiped it very obviously, but it was still ugly, really ugly.
He said, "Big sister, I'm Fan Jianguo's girlfriend."
"Oh no, Fan Jinguo's girlfriend is not..." She stopped talking and hurried into the room. Then three more female comrades came out, a total of five female comrades, young and old, and they all stared at Bai Fendou.
When Bai Fendou saw this, he was startled, but he remembered Zhuang Zhixi's third trick. If there were too many people and it was difficult to escape, he would throw dirty water on Fan Jianguo.
Before he could speak, the old lady spoke up: "These are my daughters-in-law and daughters. Sister, are you really Fan Jianguo's girlfriend?"
Bai Fendou: "Is this fake?"
Well, throwing dirty water.
"We have been together for many years. I am a widow and he is a young man, so we have never been very public about our relationship. I also support his life."
"ah?"
Everyone opened their eyes wide, but Bai Fendou was not so nervous under everyone's shocked eyes, instead he was a little more interested in acting. He said, "He said his family was too poor to marry me, and he was afraid that I would come to the country from the city to live a hard life. Plus, I was not old enough to get a marriage certificate, so he never married me. He said he would marry me after he made a name for himself. But then he joined the army, and he came less often, and I saw him less often, too. It's been a long time since I last saw him. So I wanted to come to his house to see what was going on."
After hearing this, the old lady suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then looked at Bai Fendou with sympathy and said, "Sister, you have been deceived. This guy told you that life in the countryside is too hard and that's why he didn't want to marry you?"
Bai Fendou nodded.
"But he's married!"
Bai Fendou said exaggeratedly: "Ah? Married? How could he get married? He said he wanted to marry me!"
The old lady said: "He is really married. He got married several years ago and married the daughter of a capitalist."
"What!" Bai Fendou was heartbroken again.
"Mrs. Zhang, what are you doing all the time? You don't even take a break in the middle of the day... Oh my god, this is so ugly!"
The neighbor poked his head out from next door and started complaining, but he couldn't stand it when he saw Bai Fendou.
Bai Fendou pretended to be unhappy and said, "How can you talk like that? How can I be ugly with my appearance? Jianguo has praised me before, saying that I have the posture of a little bird."
"Ugh~" Some of the younger ones almost couldn't bear it.
Aunt Gu next door: "What's going on?"
Aunt Zhang: "Come quietly, something big has happened. There is a bad guy in our village. You will know when you come."
"Ah, I'll call Aunt Chen."
Aunt Chen came over: "I have to call Aunt Li."
Soon, there were seven or eight old ladies and a dozen young wives and girls in the yard. Bai Fendou was panicking. Zhuang Zhixi didn't say what to do! Ah, with so many people, can they escape?
He, he, he was so panicked! He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but it was no use.
His expression was unpredictable, but Aunt Zhang thought she was upset by Fan Jianguo's marriage. She said, "Girl, don't be too sad. I didn't lie to you. Fan Jianguo is really married. He got married several years ago. He is preparing for his second marriage. His first marriage was to a capitalist's daughter. The second marriage is with a girl from the art troupe. She is not as pretty as the first marriage, but her background is good. I heard that she is the daughter of a leader and she has been brought here. The date has been set. They will get married next Sunday. He has been going to the city to buy wedding things recently."
While Aunt Wang was speaking, she also introduced to everyone who Bai Fendou was.
Bai Fendou: I was so panicked, but I couldn't give in. I could only play freely.
He immediately showed a heartbroken look, and several old ladies howled in their hearts: My God, your expression like this is even uglier. No wonder Fan Jianguo doesn't like you anymore, you are too ugly! They have lived to such an age and have never seen such an ugly person.
Bai Fendou: "He, he lied to me?"
"Apparently, yes. Can you tell me about your story?"
Bai Fendou: “…”
How to edit, how to edit.
He suddenly remembered the feeling Jiang Lu had once told him. He immediately said, "He was a hero saving a beautiful girl to me."
More than a dozen people around showed even more indescribable expressions. Ugh, saving the beauty?
Are you sure? But no one dared to say it out loud, because they really didn't want to continue to irritate this poor woman.
Bai Fendou: "I live in the city and have a formal job. My husband died just after we got married. One day, I got off work late and was robbed by a few guys. It was Fan Jianguo who helped me and sent me home. Since then, he would come to see me whenever he came to the city. About once every one or two weeks."
Think about it carefully, when Fan Jianguo was sixteen or seventeen years old, he often went to the city, every few days. This is true.
Bai Fendou: Oh, that's true, because at that time Fan Jianguo was trying to flatter He Lan's father. He went to the city to live with the He family. But outsiders didn't know. He continued to make up stories: "Then he said he loved me, didn't care about my status, didn't care that I was older than him. We had a baby, but his family was poor and from the countryside, and my in-laws also interfered, so we didn't make it public at first. Later, my in-laws didn't care anymore, and he said that his family was poor and he wasn't worthy of such a good person like me, and that he had to make a name for himself before he could be with me. Then he joined the army. This was for our love. I gave him all the 258 yuan I had saved at the time."
"Ah!" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. So much money, this guy is so bold! He is so bold to ask for it! "But he didn't contact me much this year, and I don't know what happened, so I just followed the village he mentioned and came here. But he told me the wrong village, and I found the next village, and it took me a lot of searching to find this place."
He said, “Can you tell me about it?”
Several middle-aged women looked at each other, and they all thought that this ugly woman had been deceived by Fan Jianguo.
It is said that people at that time were simple and honest. They did not think that Bai Fendou was talking nonsense. They all took it seriously.
"Sister, you have been deceived by this Fan Jianguo. He got married before he joined the army. They even had a wedding banquet, but they didn't get a marriage certificate. Now he has chased away his previous wife and said he wants to get married. Since they didn't get a marriage certificate before, this is their first marriage. He is not a good person. When the previous wife got married, she prepared tables, cabinets, bicycles, and radios, but they were all left by his family. He has made a fortune by marrying a wife."
"Ah, he has taken nearly a thousand from me in total." Bai Fendou said nonsense.
"Oh my god! This is too much."
"This... he specializes in cheating women out of their money, right?"
Bai Fendou pretended to be angry: "Tell me more, Auntie, I want to see if there is anything else that deceives me! He said that he has the hardest life at home, is that true? I always give him money just because I see that he has a hard life."
"No, his parents treat him well. His family has several sons, and his parents are partial to the eldest son because he is the eldest son. But they treat him well because he is the most promising son. His mother is really mean and a bad person. She used to steal and cheat in the team, and even after his family became better off, she couldn't change."
Bai Fendou acted surprised: "Ah, then no one cares?"
"Yes, the captain was not happy about it, but he had a son who was a soldier. I heard he was a squad leader. The captain was also afraid of offending people. Besides, she was a stubborn person and no one could deal with her, so he let it go."
"His brothers and sisters-in-law are also showing off their power in the village. His previous daughter-in-law was abused and driven away."
"Sister, you are ugly, but you should find a decent man. This family is no good. They are all jackals, tigers and leopards. They can eat you alive." There are also kind-hearted people who speak very directly.
Bai Fendou: "...Ah! So scary!"
His frightened look made everyone turn their heads away silently.
Even uglier! "Then such a family is indeed not good...but didn't you say that he was going to marry again? Can he find someone better? He clearly said that he loved me the most!"
"His family is good at pretending. They were so affectionate before they got married, but it was no longer the same after they got married."
"That's not the case. Xiaolan was bullied so badly before. His family is really good at making trouble. The Fan family is always the women who take action, and the men pretend to be good people. I don't know if they really don't know or are just pretending not to know."
"Do you think the Fan family is good? Fan Jianguo's eldest brother is also having an affair with Widow Li from the next village."
"Yes, yes. This is true. His family doesn't care. Old Mrs. Fan even acts like her son is capable."
Bai Fendou felt that as a weak person, he could still learn a lot by listening to the gossip of these villagers.
He said, "What about Fan Jianguo? Is there anything I don't know about him? I heard him say before that Yang is a big family in your village, and his Fan family is a small family. They are always bullied by you big families, and their life is very difficult."
"Bah, listen to his nonsense. His family is the one that shows off all day long. They are mean and vicious. How dare they criticize others? It is true that the surname Yang is a big surname, but you see, my surname is not Yang either. Don't we live the same life? Everyone is busy farming and earning work points. Who wants to think about those trivial things? When this kid was still a nobody, he was always sly and lazy at work. Later, when he became successful, he was still a bear."
"Yes, they also said bad things about our Yang family. Although our Yang family is a big family, we don't bully people at all. But their family, about ten years ago, in order to grab the homestead, they beat up the old bachelor Lao Chen in our village. The whole family fought, and the next day Lao Chen died. In the end, I don't know how they discussed it with Lao Chen's adopted son, and the matter was forgotten. The leader didn't pursue it either."
Bai Fendou never thought that he could find out so many secrets. It turned out that there were no big secrets that could be hidden in this village.
He was surprised: "Why is his house like this!"
"What do you think? His family is like this. Fan Jianguo is not a good person either. He is just a playboy. At the beginning, he had a close relationship with Jiao Xing from the village. He gave Jiao Xing the gold ring that he gave to his wife to please her, but she was not willing to accept it."
"Jiao Xing is not a good person, but she still wants it. It's a gold ring. She is very bold to want such a valuable thing."
"What's the big deal? Fan Jianguo and Chen Zhiqing from the village are quite close. I even saw Chen Zhiqing picking on Fan Jianguo's ex-wife..."
"You don't know, his sister-in-law Fan Lian is not a..."
"Ah, I also know..."
You know what, you never know until you ask. Once you ask, you'll be shocked to find out that the Fan family has so many problems.
Bai Fendou asked more questions. He kept them in mind, but he also knew that he couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise he would be discovered. He didn't know which of the information about the Fan family could be used and which could not.
He doesn't understand, but he has capable people around him.
He felt that if he let Zhuang Zhixi know about these things, he would definitely be able to help him come up with a good solution.
He heard a lot of gossip and said, "So, is he this kind of person?"
He looked very miserable and said, "I thought he was a good person and his family was not easy, but how could it be like this..."
He stood up in despair and said, "I want to go back, I want to go back..."
"Girl, don't be too sad."
"That's right, big sister, it's a good thing you avoided this kind of bastard."
"What good news? Didn't you hear what he said? He spent a thousand dollars. So much money, oh my goodness, I have never had that much in my life..."
Bai Fendou covered his face and suddenly burst into tears: "I borrowed some of this money. What should I do? What should I do..."
"Don't cry, you can't handle this matter yourself, go back and find your family, ask your father or your brother to help you."
Bai Fendou: "Yes, yes, yes..."
He said: "I asked them to help me..."
He ran away in a hurry, his steps were very fast.
But if you look closely, you will find that he is not running outside the village, but inside the village.
"Isn't this girl running too fast?"
"Heartbroken."
"Do you think she will bring people to cause trouble for the Fan family?"
"Of course you think a thousand dollars is a small amount of money."
"That's right, how could this woman be willing to spend so much money?"
"She must have been deceived. She's ugly, and someone cared about her, so she must have believed him..."
Not long after Bai Fendou left, these old ladies were still very reluctant to leave. They kept chattering and even made up the parts that Bai Fendou had not made up.
Although they didn't seem to ask the ugly widow's name or where she lived, the news that "the two had been together for six or seven years" and "one thousand yuan" were really explosive news.
If the old ladies in the village knew about this, it would be like a loudspeaker for gossip. In a short while, many people in the village had heard about it. Of course, such things must always be kept secret from the parties involved.
There are a few families in the Fan family who get along well with them, but those who can get along well with the Fan family are basically not liked by most people in the village. Therefore, this topic was not passed on to such families, and no one heard it from the Fan family.
No one knew anything about the Fan family, but the gossip about his family had spread throughout the village.
Even though it is said that women love to gossip, in fact, men are no worse. Men are the same. Nowadays, there is not much entertainment in life, and gossip is the biggest entertainment. Women are very lively when talking about it, and men are the same.
Many of the men in the village were talking quietly while working in the afternoon, asking what was so special about Fan Jianguo. He found one after another, and everyone was confused. He was just an ordinary-looking man, so how could he trick women into spending money?
Everyone saw how much his first wife, He Lan, was cheated.
Now he has found a second wife, and it is obvious that she is also in good condition.
It was already enough to make everyone envious, and then suddenly there came a big, ugly widow who spent so much money on him... They were all shocked. What on earth was so special about him?
The Fan family was completely unaware of the lively discussion among the villagers. Recently, their family had been very successful. Their third son had returned, but this time he did not come back because of He Lan. He came back to get married.
Mrs. Fan thought that her new daughter-in-law was the daughter of a leader, and she felt very happy. From now on, even the daughter of a leader would be under her feet. How could she not be happy?
No matter if you are the daughter of a wealthy capitalist or a leader, you still have to be humble in front of her. She is the mother-in-law! As a mother-in-law, you can control your daughter-in-law and give her a bad face.
No matter who you are, you have to suffer!
Old Mrs. Fan was very happy.
However, when she saw her daughter coming back from outside, her face changed a little and she asked angrily, "Why didn't you go to work?"
A little girl dares to be lazy?
Who does she think she is! Fan Lian: "I'm so annoyed. I don't know what's wrong with the villagers. They seem to be whispering something, but they stop talking when they see me coming. Mom, do you know what's going on in the village recently?"
Old Lady Fan: "Isn't the most recent big event your brother's marriage? Is anyone else's event comparable to this?"
She said, "Don't make excuses just to be lazy. Go to work."
"Mom..."
"roll!"
Fan Lian bit her lip and went out reluctantly.
In the past, with He Lan, she could still be lazy, but now she can't be lazy at all. All the housework is done by her. She said angrily: "It's better to keep that bitch..."
Old Mrs. Fan snorted, got up and went to the toilet. Just as she walked into the toilet and squatted down, she heard a sudden bang, feces flew everywhere, and Old Mrs. Fan fell in with a thud - "Ah!"
Bai Fendou: He has been offended before, let this family try it too! It will be great! Run! (End of this chapter)
