His wife is such a good person. She has suffered so much and been wronged in this family. She is a good person, but now she is so timid. Bai Fendou feels sorry for her. He is her husband and can't just let it go like this.
He quietly found the location of the Fan family. He knew where the Fan family lived when he came here last time. Because of the fight, Yang Lixin's mother pointed it out to him. So Bai Fendou quickly found it. He squatted at the foot of the wall of the Fan family, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
He knew that the worst person in the Fan family was He Lan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Fan. This old woman was quite vicious, and she was so hateful that she could do anything. She had many tricks to torture people, and she could do anything.
So the person Bai Fendou wanted to deal with the most was this old lady.
As for everyone else, it's slow and steady.
He squatted outside the courtyard wall, but he didn't move, silently waiting for an opportunity. He knew that this old lady Fan didn't work. In the early years, the conditions were poor and there was nothing she could do, but now it's different. Now she boasts that her family is well-off, which is very arrogant.
As for work?
Don't even think about it.
Bai Fendou flipped through his small handbag, which contained matches and firecrackers, all of which he had prepared in advance.
He is a person who doesn't know how to use his brain. He just does things recklessly. He once had the experience of falling into the toilet. It must be said that it was really painful. It was winter, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Not only was this disgusting, it was also a major blow, and the thought of it made him sick to his stomach anyway.
That is why he thought it would be good to let the Fan family experience it.
It's summer, it's bound to be more disgusting.
The bitterness he felt could also be experienced by this person.
Bai Fendou became even more excited as he thought about this.
He waited silently for the opportunity, and the opportunity soon came. Fan Lian, the youngest daughter of the Fan family, came back unexpectedly. The mother and daughter quarreled loudly, and Fan Lian left angrily.
Old Lady Fan looked at her daughter with disdain and scolded, "You little girl, you want to eat for free at home? You want to be lazy when you have to do some work, don't you think you have the luck to do it?"
In the past, when He Lan, the idiot, did the housework, the other women in the family could slack off and anyone could boss He Lan around, including Fan Lian. But now it's no longer possible. Now that He Lan is gone, Fan Lian has to do all the housework.
Otherwise, who will do it?
Could it be her mother? Or Fan Lian's sisters-in-law? These ones are not easy to deal with either.
Old Mrs. Fan snorted and went to the toilet with her pants pulled up. Fan Jianguo took his fiancée to the city to buy things again. She was a little unhappy, but she was happy when she thought that the golden phoenix was about to fly into her nest.
From now on, his son's job will have to be promoted.
She smiled complacently and felt more at ease.
Old Lady Fan went into the toilet. Her family never went to the village toilet to use the toilet. They would keep the money within their family. Even when they went to work, they would come back to use the toilet, not to mention when she was at home. She went to the toilet and squatted down directly...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and feces flew everywhere. Old Mrs. Fan was startled, and in her panic she stepped on empty space and fell into the pit with a bang... "Ah!"
This time, the battle situation escalated further.
Bai Fendou leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "Ugh! It's so disgusting!"
Sure enough, toilets in summer are more disgusting and the smell is more unbearable.
Without hesitation, he lit another firecracker and threw it directly in - bang!
This time, even Bai Fendou himself was too embarrassed to watch. He, who was well-informed, did not dare to stick his head out. Seeing that the sound attracted people, he ran away. He was not familiar with the terrain, but he had seen the way out of the village. He did not stop and ran out of the village.
Whoosh, whoosh! Bai Fendou ran like a mad dog.
Looking from a distance, all I could see was the shadow of a skirt.
"Hey, that figure looks familiar..."
"Hey, isn't that the ugly widow from before..."
This is not to attack her personally, but this woman is really too ugly. Too ugly, too ugly. Wang Erniu, the ugliest woman in the whole area, is no less pleasing to the eye than her. Besides, if she is not called the ugly widow, she cannot be distinguished from other widows.
Everyone was speechless and shook their heads again.
"That's not right. Was it she who made that noise just now?"
"She must be seeking revenge on that family."
"If this happened to you, you would also hate it."
How to say it.
Bai Fendou's nonsense made people more convinced that she was the one who was deceived.
"Stop talking, let's go to Fan's house and take a look."
"Should we chase this guy or not?"
"What are you chasing? What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right. His family doesn't cheat people. How could this happen? What if this woman goes crazy? We can't get hurt while helping her. The Fan family won't care about us."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Although everyone was talking, they were jogging towards the direction of the sound. The first one to arrive was Fan Lian. Who told her to be lazy? She walked slowly towards the fields. But when she heard the sound, she quickly ran in the direction of it.
She knew that this was his family's business, but when she ran over and took a look, my god, she vomited instantly and vomited all over the place. The smell was so pungent that it made her feel like she would be sent away in the next step.
Fan Lian collapsed on the ground and vomited, not caring about anything else...
"Help, help..."
Private toilets are always different from public toilets...this won't drown anyone.
Mrs. Fan's struggle and pain were completely a conditioned reflex.
"Help! Who is this bastard?..."
She cried and screamed, but at this time, who came over saw it, without exception, just like Fan Lian, they all collapsed and vomited... This scene was really unbearable! Several brothers of the Fan family came back, and none of them could bear it. Fan Lian everyone said: "Why don't you come to save me, you little bastards, hurry up! Ugh!"
"Mom. How could you fall into the toilet?"
"Really? What's going on? Ugh!"
The sons were not like the others. They had no choice but to move forward.
At this time, Fan Jianguo came back with his fiancée, Xu Yuqiao, the daughter of their leader, the only child. Fan Jianguo had put a lot of effort into winning this girl over. Now the two of them were in love.
They came back this time just to get married. Of course, he had told Xu Yuqiao about He Lan.
However, in his story, He Lan's family became bullies. Relying on the little help they had given him when they were young, they forced Fan Jianguo to marry their daughter. The young lady of the capitalist family was so arrogant in their family that she even refused to stop giving birth and sent a telegram to him to come back.
He finally couldn't stand it anymore and drew a clear line between himself and the capitalist lady.
Fortunately, they only had a wedding banquet and did not get married, so they managed to save their reputation.
This incident made Xu Yuqiao feel even more sorry for him, and their relationship progressed faster. As for men, sometimes, being "hurt" will arouse women's sympathy, and that's what Fan Jianguo is doing now.
He actually wanted to hide the matter from He Lan, but there were so many people in their village, and if someone let the secret slip, it would be difficult to make up for it.
So he distorted the facts from the beginning. Anyway, no one had evidence to prove that what he said was false. He Lan could not explain it clearly just because of her identity as a capitalist lady. Fan Jianguo was very proud. He took his wife home and said, "We have bought almost all the things this time. We will just have a simple wedding at home. I don't plan to invite many people, just a few elders in the family and a few leaders in the village. After all, we have to respond to the call and keep everything simple. Don't do those crooked ways. But I can't let you down. It happens that we both work in the army. When we go back, we can have a simple wedding and invite some comrades. What do you think?"
"I'll do whatever you say."
As the two were talking, they heard someone running hurriedly in the distance: "Hurry up and go to Fan's house to watch the fun."
"Has the person been pulled up?"
"If his son doesn't dare to do it, who can help? The person is still inside. Oh my god, it stinks."
When Fan Jianguo heard this, he was confused and immediately said, "I don't know what happened at home. Let's go check it out."
"Walk."
The unmarried couple quickly ran to the Fan family, but the further they walked, the more horrible the smell in the air became. This summer was indeed summer, and the smell could reach three feet high... After seeing the scene, Xu Yuqiao vomited immediately...
"Hurry up and save your mother..."
The scene instantly became more chaotic...
It was a mess, Bai Fendou was hiding on the side of the road, waiting for the bus but it didn't come. Was it the wrong time? He frowned, a little worried, afraid that someone would chase him out. He felt that when he ran away, there were actually a few people who saw him, and he didn't know if...
It would be fine if I didn't think about it, but the more I thought about it, the more worried I became.
Bai Fendou rubbed his hands, extremely anxious.
Just at this moment, a large truck came from a distance. He didn't care that it was not a passenger bus at all, and hurried forward to wave.
The driver saw an extremely ugly woman standing by the roadside waving from a distance. Generally speaking, their trucks carrying goods would not stop casually, fearing that something might happen. However, it depends on the situation. This is how it is when you are out. But now there is nothing to worry about. This step of gas will take you to the city, so there is basically no danger.
Not to mention, it's still broad daylight.
The driver screeched to a halt, and Bai Fendou called out, "Brother, can you give me a ride? I'm going back to the city."
After a pause, he looked at the driver suspiciously and suddenly said, "Are you Xiaozhuang's wife's father?"
That’s right, the driver that Bai Fendou met by chance was not someone else, but Mingmei’s father Ming Xiangdong.
Ming Xiangdong was stunned. He looked up and down at the flashy monster in front of him for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"
How come Zhuang Zhixi knows all these people?
Bai Fendou didn't care about pretending at this time, and said, "I, Bai Fendou, am from the same courtyard as Xiaozhuang and his wife. Do you still remember me?"
He tore off his turban.
Ming Xiangdong's mouth twitched, and he looked Bai Fendou up and down, his eyes wandering suspiciously on his dress for a long time, and then he said, "Come up."
Bai Fendou: "Thank you."
He quickly got into the car, and put his hands on his knees obediently. It was not because he was an honest man, but when he looked up, he saw a machete placed under Ming Xiangdong's feet. This thing would scare anyone.
Besides, Ming Xiangdong looks very fierce.
He didn't dare to say much, but he felt that if he didn't say something, it would seem a bit quiet, so he said: "Here, here..."
I suddenly remembered that I was wearing a dress.
Bai Fendou felt even more embarrassed instantly, but his greatest strength was his thick skin. He quickly said, "I... I'm just out on business, haha, haha."
He tugged at the hem of his skirt and said, "I'm a normal person."
Ming Xiangdong hummed.
I don’t know whether I believed it or not.
Bai Fendou felt even more embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said, "Mingmei and the others went up the mountain today. They said they were going to the suburbs. Zhuang Zhixi is at home taking care of the children."
Ming Xiangdong finally spoke at this time. He asked, "Are Tuantuan and Yuanyuan well behaved?"
"Good boy! Very good boy!"
In fact, she was not as obedient as his little Qingqing, but Bai Fendou didn't dare to say it. He always felt that if he said something that would displease Uncle Ming, he would be beaten the next moment. He tightened his mouth and racked his brains to say something nice.
He said: "Zhuang's family treats Xiaozhuang's wife very well. They don't use Xiaozhuang's wife's cooking or anything like that."
Zhao Guihua looked down on Mingmei's craftsmanship.
Ming nodded to the east.
Bai Fendou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaozhuang often washes diapers when he comes home from get off work."
In fact, Zhuang Zhixi and his wife shared the work, and it was not clear who would do the work when they were free. But it was always surprising to see a grown man washing diapers, so Bai Fendou remembered it very clearly.
Ming Xiangdong nodded again.
"Also, they eat eggs every day. Mingmei eats them every day, and the children eat them too."
This matter has been mentioned by people in the courtyard, but not for discussion, but for the fact that there are so many people in the family, how can there be enough eggs. Other families also raise two chickens, but other families only need the eggs laid by the chickens to feed themselves. They can also save some.
But he has two little babies at home and one needs to be breastfed, so he can't stop.
Hutou and Xiaoyanzi can do it, but the wet nurse doesn't seem to want to favor one over the other and hasn't stopped giving them eggs, as his family is always short of eggs.
Bai Fendou: "Xiaozhuang also exchanged a lot of eggs a few days ago."
Ming Xiangdong nodded: "Yeah."
Bai Fendou was sweating profusely. This uncle was really difficult to get along with. It felt like nothing he said could make him talk. He racked his brains and said, "Oh, and today Xiaozhuang went to Uncle Lan's place. Uncle Lan wanted to assemble a chatterbox by himself, and Xiaozhuang followed him there to learn."
Ming Xiangdong: “Yeah.”
Bai Fendou: “…”
Ming Xiangdong glanced at Bai Fendou who was scratching his head and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Fendou: "No, nothing."
Ming Xiangdong: "You wear a skirt, do you like it?"
Bai Fendou: “…”
He suddenly felt so wronged, how could this be love? He was a man who stood tall and upright, even though he was "not good enough", he never felt that he was not a man.
He and Zhou Qun are two completely different things. Zhou Qun has been completely broken since then. He has been acting like a sissy all day long, with his fingers raised, and has become more and more feminine. But he is not like that. He is always a man.
Even if he can't do it, he's still a man! He can't stand being misunderstood.
He said, "No, I'm not. I'm in disguise. I'm here to cause trouble."
Ming Xiangdong: "In disguise?"
Bai Fendou: "That's right, I'm going to settle accounts with someone, but I'm afraid of being recognized..."
Ming Xiangdong: “Oh.”
He could tell from just a few words that Bai Fendou was a simple-minded person. Most people who encountered such things would hide it for fear of being known, after all, they would definitely do something bad, but Bai Fendou was very direct.
He actually said it directly. You know, they are not familiar with each other at all.
Ming Xiangdong looked at Bai Fendou again and thought that this guy was a fool.
He lowered his eyes and then said, "Then how did you find fault?"
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that they can’t say anything at this point.
But is Bai Fendou a person with brains? Bai Fendou is not!
He immediately said, "I saw that wicked old lady throw firecrackers into the pit as soon as she entered the toilet, hahahaha... She was so scared that she fell into the toilet, hahahaha, you don't know how disgusting the situation was at that time. Fortunately, it was winter when I fell into the toilet. If it was summer, I would shudder just thinking about it..."
Bai Fendou laughed wildly. Ming Xiangdong: "..."
Really...
It’s really hard to understand.
What's wrong with you? You're a grown man, can't you take revenge in a decent way?
Blow up the toilet?
He suddenly remembered the public toilet in Xinghuali that was famous in the old city, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
You have experienced the pain of falling into the toilet, so you want others to experience the same pain? What kind of mentality do you have?
No wonder your area always has problems with toilets! He looked at Bai Fendou subtly and said, "Oh, then you are very capable."
Bai Fendou: "Of course."
He was delighted when he thought about it, and said, "I used to think it was difficult to take revenge on others, but now I think it's really easy."
You see, what other strategies are needed?
Strategies are for people who use their brains.
Is it possible for a brainless person like him to do this?
It's a little embarrassing, but it's good enough to be able to get revenge.
He was in a very good mood and felt enlightened.
Ming Xiangdong: “…”
He looked at Bai Fendou who was grinning foolishly in front of the car window, and felt deeply that he was still not knowledgeable enough. Logically, he thought he was a very experienced person. After all, he had traveled all over the country and had encountered all kinds of things, but he had never encountered someone like Bai Fendou.
No wonder every day has gone by so quickly since my daughter got married. How can I not be happy watching the fun all day long?
He looked at Bai Fendou again and stopped the car with a squeak.
Bai Fendou: "Ah? What's wrong?"
He finally came back to his senses.
Ming Xiangdong: "We're here, get off the car."
Unconsciously, the car had already driven into their apricot blossom area. Bai Fendou: "Huh?"
Ming Xiangdong pursed his lips, and Bai Fendou looked over and saw that they had really arrived at Xinghuali. He didn't even need to cross the road when he got off the car, he could just walk into the alley. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Ming."
Ming Xiangdong asked sincerely: "You call me Uncle Ming, and you call my father-in-law Uncle Lan, so we are from the same generation?"
Bai Fendou: "Uh...how about I call Uncle Lan or Grandpa Lan next time? That way we won't be one generation."
He said timidly.
Ming Xiangdong didn't say yes or no, just waved his hand.
Bai Fendou got out of the car quickly and left in a flash.
Ming Xiangdong started the car and left. Actually, he had some things for his daughter in the car, but he didn't want Bai Fendou to take them in, lest it look bad. He drove back to the team first. As soon as the car left, Bai Fendou looked back and said sincerely: "Uncle Ming is a good man."
He went home quickly. It was not too early and it was not as hot as it was at noon. Many children were playing on the street. When they saw Bai Fendou, they all shouted, "Ugly woman."
Bai Fendou rolled his eyes and quickly rushed into their compound. His house was the first one at the gate, so he walked in quickly.
In fact, He Lan was worried as soon as he left. She was timid to begin with, and because of her class background in recent years, she had been even more cautious. She couldn't muster the energy to do anything. But Bai Fendou was stubborn, and she couldn't stop him, so she could only stay at home.
She was so worried that she felt her heart beating very fast.
She regretted it. She should have stopped Bai Fendou. How could the Fan family be an ordinary family? It was a dangerous place. What if he went there alone and suffered a loss? Although they were not really convinced, He Lan still relied on Bai Fendou.
After all, after all the suffering she had gone through, this was the first time she met someone who truly helped her.
Moreover, she also realized that Bai Fendou was a little impulsive, but he was not a bad person at heart. Maybe he was not very good in the eyes of others, but to He Lan, he was a very good person.
At times like this, only Bai Fendou could make her rely on him.
Normally, He Lan would take her children out for a walk every afternoon, but today she didn't do that at all. She put the child on the bed, feeling extremely anxious.
Just when she was about to give up and was about to ask her neighbors for help to go to the village to rescue people, she saw a woman whooshing in.
He Lan: “Ah…”
She covered her mouth, blinked, and recognized that it was Bai Fendou.
In fact, this disguise is not a change of appearance. How can people who are familiar with him not recognize him? Only those who are not familiar with him can be fooled. He Lan rubbed his eyes, then rushed over and said, "You are back, you scared me to death!"
She was really scared.
"Do you know how scared I am? Let's not seek revenge from now on, okay? Although their family is not a good family, it is not worth our risk at all. Please don't go there again."
Bai Fendou patted He Lan and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm fine. No one recognized me. Besides, those people thought Fan Jianguo had an ugly widow outside..."
"ah?"
He Lan looked at Bai Fendou in shock. Bai Fendou was not polite and explained the matter in detail. Then he sighed, "That's probably what happened."
This story is a bit long, and it took Bai Fendou an entire hour to explain the whole story.
He Lan: “…”
I was filled with shock.
"this..."
She had lived in the village for several years, but she didn't know as much as Bai Fendou did in one day? Looking at Bai Fendou again, He Lan admired him more and said, "You are amazing, aren't you?"
Bai Fendou laughed proudly and said, "That's nothing. We are good-for-nothings. You don't know, when I threw the firecrackers, the old lady was covered in that... In the summer, the toilet was full of that..." After a pause, he said, "Forget it, I won't tell you. If I tell you, you won't be able to eat at night. It's really disgusting."
There's no need to explain this, just thinking about sex will tell you it must be disgusting.
But He Lan was very interested: "Tell me about it, I still want to know."
She wished that things would be bad for the Fan family.
Even if Fan Jianguo was tempted by someone else, he wouldn't hate her so much. The reason why she hated the Fan family so much was because the Fan family had slowly risen up with the help of their family. In the early years, they were all supported by their family, and even when Fan Jianguo joined the army, it was her father who found someone to help him. As a result, when her family lost power, the Fan family treated her like this.
They treated her badly and abused her, but she could tolerate it.
But no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, she had given birth to them with all her might, and she couldn't let anyone harm her child.
That was why she hated the Fan family so much. She had no ability to do anything for the Fan family, but she had heard that this family was in trouble, so she was willing to listen more.
"Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can eat two more bowls of rice after listening to you."
Bai Fendou: "Okay, at that time... ugh... at that time... ugh."
Bai Fendou changed his clothes, washed up while describing the situation to his wife, and succeeded in making himself sick.
He Lan thought about that scene and felt both disgusted and happy. It was a pity that she didn't see the scene where the evildoers got their comeuppance. If she had seen it, she would have been able to eat even if she felt disgusted.
These wicked people will get their comeuppance sooner or later.
He Lan was very satisfied after hearing this. She took Bai Fendou's clothes to the yard to wash. Just thinking about it made her laugh.
Mingmei was out washing clothes, and she was wearing the same clothes she wore when she went up the mountain. She looked at He Lan and said with a smile, "What good news has happened to you that makes you so happy?"
He Lan: "It's nothing, I just heard that some people got punished, and I'm happy."
Mingmei: “???”
She looked at He Lan in confusion, but He Lan didn't explain more. Instead, she asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Mingmei: "Hey, don't mention it. We encountered a wild boar. Fortunately, there were troops stationed at the foot of the mountain who went up the mountain to deal with the wild boar. Otherwise, we don't know when we can come back. I'm afraid we will have to deal with it for a long time, and we don't know if we can get away successfully."
"ah!"
Mingmei: "They said there was a sign prohibiting us from going up the mountain. We didn't notice it when we went up the mountain, but we can't go up the mountain for a while."
He Lan said "oh", she had never been there, but she heard that everyone went there quite frequently last year, she said: "What about autumn?"
Mingmei: "That should be possible. Do you want to go too? We can go together then."
He Lan: "Okay."
It's always good to stock up some of these free things at home.
As they talked, Wang Xiangxiu came out with clothes to wash. Although she had been married to the courtyard for more than ten years, she was more comfortable with Mingmei and Helan, two young wives, in the courtyard.
It was fine before, but it's because of her mother-in-law that she is that kind of person.
She pursed her lips and came over to wash clothes. Wang Xiangxiu: "What are you talking about?"
Mingmei said naturally, "Let's talk about going up the mountain in autumn."
Wang Xiangxiu hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Then, can you take me with you?"
Mingmei laughed: "What's the big deal? We can go together when the time comes. That mountain doesn't belong to anyone."
Wang Xiangxiu breathed a relief and said, "Just prepare more. We don't sigh need to buy too many cabbages and radishes for the winter."
She actually had money, but she didn't dare spend it recklessly. After all, her family had a bad reputation. As a woman supporting the family, she would have trouble borrowing money if she didn't keep some money in her hands. People might not trust her.
Still there. She is back in the workshop now. As long as she works harder, her salary can be increased.
Wang Xiangxiu herself couldn't figure it out. She used to think locksmithing was very difficult and she couldn't learn it anyway, so she would rather ask someone for help. But after she was transferred and came back, she found that if she worked harder, it wasn't that difficult.
There is no assessment this year, but Wang Xiangxiu thinks she can apply for a trial of second-level worker next year. If she cannot be promoted, she can get a salary increase.
Her current salary was not high, but she was able to support two children with ease, and even support the third child's education. Occasionally, she would buy some fine grains to make food for Jin Lai, and she would even have some money left over. Wang Xiangxiu was a little confused.
Then why, she had such a hard life before, and was so tight on money before she even got paid?
It should be harder for her now, because she has no extra income, but she can still save a little every month. Seeing He Lan finish washing and hanging the clothes to go home to cook, Wang Xiangxiu hesitated for a moment while washing clothes and said, "Mingmei, there is something I don't quite understand, can I ask you?"
Mingmei looked at Wang Xiangxiu in surprise and asked, "What?"
You know, she has no contact with Wang Xiangxiu.
Moreover, Mingmei is the type of person who looks innocent but is actually smart. She has actually seen Wang Xiangxiu's eyes fixed on Zhuang Zhixi, but since Zhuang Zhixi and Wang Xiangxiu didn't have much contact, Mingmei didn't say much about it.
After all, Wang Xiangxiu didn't take the initiative to attack.
Later, when Aunt Su's incident happened, Wang Xiangxiu learned the cause and effect of her husband's death. She changed completely.
In this situation, Mingmei would not say anything. She was not mentally ill, and there was no point in bringing up these issues.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to say?"
Wang Xiangxiu said: "I... I used to have a higher income than I do now, but I always felt that I was struggling to make ends meet at the end of each month and had to think of ways to make ends meet. But now, although I obviously make less money every month than before, I am actually living a decent life and not as strapped for cash as before. Why is that? I just can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."
She didn't want to talk about this, but she couldn't find anyone to help her, so she could only ask Mingmei.
Mingmei looked at Wang Xiangxiu in surprise. Wang Xiangxiu: "If you don't want to say it..."
Mingmei: "That's not the case. There's one less adult in your family. Isn't it normal for life to be more relaxed? Besides, even Jinlai, the gluttonous kid, is not at home now."
She didn't think there was anything strange about this.
"But, my mother-in-law used to..." Wang Xiangxiu felt a little awkward when mentioning this person, but she still said: "She used to help the family, but... she cheated Uncle Bai! She could make at least a dozen dollars a month."
Mingmei: "So she spent all the money she made at home?"
Wang Xiangxiu was stunned for a moment.
She said: "She also often buys things for our home. I calculated the price and it's not a small amount."
She added: "My own salary is in my hands, and I decide how to spend it. These have not been through her hands, so I have no idea."
She didn't want to figure out the reason, but she was really puzzled.
Mingmei: "If that's what you said, I think the problem lies with your mother-in-law. How much food did you buy before and how much do you buy now?"
Wang Xiangxiu: "In the past, my family didn't have enough food every month, so I had to go to the black market to buy some. My mother-in-law always said that she was not in good health and needed to eat some fine grains..."
Mingmei: "That's it, what's there to say? If she eats fine grains for every meal, how can your share be enough? You have to go to the black market to buy expensive grains, wouldn't that cost more? The price of grain on the black market is high to begin with. Besides, she eats fine grains, and the children also eat fine grains, and you must eat fine grains too, so the food will go down quickly. But now it's not the case. Now at least you eat coarse grains for one meal a day, right? And ha, before you had to buy eggs for your family, but now you have two chickens, so you don't have to buy eggs, doesn't that save money? Jinlai, the boy who eats the most, is not at home, so it's normal to save money."
Wang Xiangxiu: “It seems so.”
You may not feel it when you are living your life, but when you think about it carefully, it is really reflected in every aspect of the little things. Maybe a little difference here, a little difference there, but when you add it up, it is not a small difference.
Wang Xiangxiu sighed softly: "I used to live such a confused life."
"Ha." A laugh rang out, and Zhuang Zhixi came over to help his wife hang the clothes. He glanced at Wang Xiangxiu and said, "You said your mother-in-law bought food for the family, but I don't believe it."
Wang Xiangxiu: “Hmm?”
She looked at Zhuang Zhixi in confusion.
Zhuang Zhixi just said it casually. Seeing that Wang Xiangxiu really wanted to know, he simply said, "I saw her once before, carrying a bag and telling you that she bought food. It was about two kilograms of white flour. But I was still in high school that day. I didn't see her go out at all during the holidays. I actually speculated at the time that she would grab a little bit of the food you bought, as long as it was small, it wouldn't be obvious. Then she would hide it and say that she bought it herself. Wouldn't you be happy? In this way, she can save money. You think she took Uncle Bai's money and spent it to buy food for the family, but in fact, the money was put away by her. The food in your family is yours, because she didn't make it in one day, but accumulated it slowly, so you don't know. Don't you think your family's food is eaten up very quickly? Don't you think that there are only a few people in your family. Even if you eat better, how could you need to buy so much fine grain? You will know if you ask. Every household in this compound doesn't have such a large amount."
He sighed, “You thought your mother-in-law also contributed to the family, but in fact, the fine grains she took were also bought by you, so your money is always insufficient.”
Wang Xiangxiu was stunned.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, I haven't asked the person herself, so I can't say it's 100% true. But she said she went to buy food, but she didn't go out. This happened more than once. We are outsiders, and it's not easy for us to ask about other people's family affairs, so there is no evidence. These are just my guesses, and they can be regarded as a reference for you."
After listening to this, Wang Xiangxiu clenched her fists and felt her head buzzing.
Her mother-in-law could really give her endless surprises.
Again and again.
Even if she is gone, she can still give her a big "surprise". No wonder her mother-in-law was able to save so much private money, it turned out that this was how she did it, and no wonder her family ran out of food so quickly, they always had to buy food... She took a deep breath and said, "How vicious must this old hag be to do such a thing!"
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and hung the clothes. Mingmei kindly comforted him, "It's all in the past. It's useless to think too much now. Anyway, this person can't affect your life in the future. You just live a good life, isn't it good?"
Wang Xiangxiu nodded: "Yes, I want to live a good life. I want everyone to know that without this vicious old hag, my life will be good. I will never be the same as before."
She scrubbed the clothes even harder, as if she treated the clothes as the old lady.
Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi looked at each other, hung up the clothes and went back to the house together. The two children were playing on the kang, kicking their legs. Now that the babies could roll over, they dared not leave anyone alone. Whenever there was no one in the room, the young couple would put the quilts and pillows on the edge of the kang to completely block them from falling.
The moment Mingmei entered the room, she saw two children trapped on the kang. The children didn't know they were trapped yet. They were kicking their legs and moving very actively.
The little guy couldn't speak yet, but he was very happy to "communicate". He kept whining and drooling, and no one could understand what he was saying. Mingmei put the quilt aside and sat over to poke the baby.
The little guy let out a "whoosh" and grabbed Mingmei's fingers.
Mingmei: "Oh, it's quite energetic."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Now Wang Xiangxiu looks like a human being."
Mingmei: "She was transferred back to the workshop?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "She was transferred. Wasn't it because someone reported that she and Director Chen, Chen Yuan's father, had an affair? After investigation, it was found that there was no such thing. The factory may have transferred her back to make up for her grievances, or because it was not easy for a woman to take care of a child. It is better to screw in the workshop than to sweep the toilet. Sweeping the toilet will never increase your salary. But you can still upgrade to a fitter little by little. As long as she works hard, her salary will always increase. In fact, the factory is still very humane."
Mingmei nodded and said, "That's right."
She said, “I think…”
Just as she was about to say something, she heard a knock on the door. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Come in."
The person who came turned out to be Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou chuckled and said, "Xiao Zhuang, come here for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
So what does his family do now? Is it a consulting office? Why does everyone have to ask this?
Wang Xiangxiu asked questions when she didn't understand something, and Bai Fendou also asked questions when he didn't understand something. Wasn't that the end? He walked out sadly, saying, "What's the matter? Didn't you cause trouble? Aren't you happy to be back today?"
"You know?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Your wife is so happy, so you must have gained something."
Bai Fendou scratched his head: "Yes, it is."
He dragged Zhuang Zhixi to the door, muttering to Zhuang Zhixi: "Fuck, this family is quite capable. They are so wicked but haven't been beaten to death yet?" But you can't tell. Bai Fendou has some killing power. Even if it is brainless and impulsive, he can still give people a fatal blow.
He didn't know what the Fan family's situation was like, but if it was an ordinary family, just what happened today, a bucket of dirty water falling into the toilet, would be enough to make people collapse. Most people couldn't stand it.
Bai Fendou is indeed not an ordinary person.
Zhuang Zhixi glanced at Bai Fendou and thought that reckless people also have their advantages.
At least it's very powerful when dealing with villains.
Bai Fendou: "Then what do you think we should do? Look at all the problems in his family. Can we deal with them?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He looked at Bai Fendou with a puzzled look and said, "Haven't you already cleaned up their house?"
"That's not enough!"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Today's weather is enough for them to drink a pot. But what you said can really help them plan for their family." He touched his chin and thought, oh, why is he like this now?
He is obviously a good person, so why is he starting to scheme against others?
Bai Fendou: "Tell me, tell me."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'll think about it and perfect it. Please wait for two or three days."
He glanced at Bai Fendou and said, "You don't mind wasting two days of your time, do you?"
Bai Fendou: “Not bad!”
Just what happened today was enough to make him happy for a long time.
He said: "Hey today, let me tell you..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Don't tell me, I can't resist."
He felt nauseous after just hearing the beginning, and he was determined not to continue listening.
He said, "Come on, don't tell me that. I have to have dinner."
Zhuang Zhixi left quickly. Bai Fendou looked at Zhuang Zhixi and felt that he was not as good as his wife. His wife, a woman, could listen to it without changing her expression. Although it was disgusting, she could still listen carefully.
This grown man just ran away after hearing the beginning?
This is too cowardly.
As expected, Xiaozhuang is not very good at anything except his brain.
In their compound, he is the real warrior.
You see, even if it was Zhou Qun, he would definitely not be able to do what he did today.
His abilities are pretty amazing.
Bai Fendou glanced at the Zhou family with pride, just in time for Zhou Qun to go out. Bai Fendou raised his chin proudly and said smugly: "You are not as good as me."
Zhou Qun: “???”
He looked at Bai Fendou in surprise, and it took him a long time to react. But by the time he reacted, Bai Fendou had already entered the house. Zhou Qun: "???"
He was angry: "Is this guy fucking sick? Why is he pretending to be so good in front of me? This is so unlucky..."
Jiang Lu: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to say such things at home? What if the baby learns it? The first words other children say are 'Mom and Dad', but the first words our child says are 'Fuck'... How can we face people like this?"
Zhou Qun: “Yes, yes, yes.”
He admitted his mistake immediately and said that he was content with having a son.
He didn't have any deep feelings for Jiang Lu, but he didn't want to change his wife at all. And they still had a child. Zhou Qun said happily: "Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely not say this in front of the child."
Aunt Zhou looked at her son and frowned slightly. She looked down on his humble behavior. How could a man let a woman control him? She was not very satisfied, but then she thought, what man? Her son is still a shitty man?
As long as Jiang Lu doesn't mention divorce, let her make the decision.
Otherwise, what else can I find?
If she finds a boy as her wife, she will collapse.
Aunt Zhou thought about it and said to Jiang Lu in a more flattering way: "Daughter-in-law, shall I fry an egg for you tonight? Do you like it..."
Jiang Lu looked at the mother and her son, who was playing on the bed, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, scrambled eggs, Mom, I trust your cooking skills..."
Aunt Zhou: "Well, just watch."
Jiang Lu coaxed the child with a smile, feeling that these days were really great.
The aroma of scrambled eggs came from next door. Bai Fendou sniffed and said, "Wife, these are eggs. Shall we make one too?"
He Lan: "Okay."
She hummed a song and just felt happy.
He Lan is really happy, but some people may not be, such as her former husband's family, the Fan family.
The Fan family was not happy at all. Not only was they unhappy, but the mood was also very low.
At this time, the old lady of the Fan family had been fished out eight hundred years ago. It was true that she was fished out, but this matter was infuriating. The old lady did not dare to take a bath at home, but went directly to the river.
This is for the eldest daughter-in-law in the village.
This is really a tragedy.
They are still washing clothes in this creek. It's so disgusting, I don't want to wash clothes here anytime soon.
The children are also angry, they are still playing in the river. The water in this river is not deep, and children like to come here the most in summer. Even for children of five or six years old, the water is only at the waist level at most, and they will not drown at all. So it is the favorite of children.
But now, they feel sick and they can't come.
She was so angry! Old Lady Fan took off all her clothes and washed herself in the river for two hours, but she still felt stinky.
The Fan family was all in a gloomy mood, standing in the yard one by one. It was so nauseating in the summer, not to mention his family, the stench of several surrounding families could be smelled. Inevitably, someone told others about what happened in the afternoon.
You said your family has offended a widow, why do you want to make their neighbors smell the bad smell too?
Just because the old lady of the Fan family is a shrew doesn't mean that other people are easy to bully. Look, several old women are standing at the door cursing.
It's extremely unpleasant to hear.
"Fan Jianguo, you son of a bitch. Living next to your family is such bad luck. You are just a piece of shit, and you even implicated us..."
Fan Jianguo went out: "Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Bah, what nonsense! Everyone knows that you are having an affair with a widow. If you cheat her, she will come to your house for revenge. Now you are pretending to be a human being, but why don't you do anything human? Look, my house is right next to yours, and look at the smell. You want to disgust me to death, don't you?"
"That's right. Look at how bad your house smells. How can we live?"
"I'm afraid I'll step on it now!"
"Who says it's not?"
Xu Yuqiao has been frowning since she came back, and she hasn't relaxed until now.
Her family was well-off and she was in the art troupe. Marrying Fan Jianguo was already a step down, but what was going on? Could this mother-in-law be more embarrassing? She actually fell into the toilet? If this matter got back, she would have no chance of living like a human being.
I'm afraid everyone would feel disgusted when hearing her.
She was already very angry, and when she heard why, she became even more angry.
She stared at Fan Jianguo coldly and said, "Fan Jianguo, tell me, what widow? What about spending the widow's money? What about the widow seeking revenge? Explain it to me clearly!"
Fan Jianguo was also confused at this time. He was outside and there was no widow at all!
The one who really had a widow was his brother. He knew that his brother was having an affair with a widow from the neighboring village, but that was not him. As for spending money, that was even less of a crime.
He immediately became serious: "Someone is framing me."
"Framed you? Who said they framed you?" Xu Yuqiao was furious.
Fan Jianguo immediately thought of it: "He Lan, it must be He Lan."
He felt that the person who hated him the most must be He Lan, but when he said that, the neighbors did not cooperate.
At this time, someone immediately shouted, "Forget it. When He Lan moved her household registration, she said she was going to get married. She has already found a new husband, why would she want to harm you? Are you still after your evil mother-in-law who abuses her daughter-in-law? Or your sisters-in-law who steal people's clothes?"
“That’s right!”
"As for your family, they are not happy when they leave."
"Don't talk about He Lan anymore. I've seen the widow who is related to you. She's big and strong, quite tall, and really ugly, but she smells really good when she rubs herself."
"Yes, and the big red lips. She said she has been with you for six or seven years. She has spent nearly a thousand dollars on you..."
“Yes, yes!”
"I saw it, too. I saw her running out of the village."
In fact, there is an old saying that it is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage.
Everyone agrees with it.
So even though they knew the Fan family wasn't great, the girl was happy, and no one would gossip about them in front of a strange girl. But today it was really disgusting. As neighbors, they also have to endure this pain.
It was just a strong smell, and Mrs. Fan made the floor dirty, so they were afraid to step on it as neighbors. Since it involved their own home, they couldn't hold it in, and they were very angry anyway.
Fan Jianguo frowned: "This is impossible."
Where on earth did such a woman come from? He was sure that he didn't have such a woman. Seeing Xu Yuqiao looking at him with some suspicion, he immediately said: "Qiao'er, you have to believe in me. I'm not that kind of person..."
"I want to believe you, but you have to tell me clearly what kind of widow she is."
She looked directly at the people gathered around and said, "Madam, have you seen that woman? Can you tell me about her?"
The old lady who was named felt a little uncomfortable and said, "I don't want to offend the Fan family."
Xu Yuqiao turned around and glared at the Fan family, saying, "Just tell me, don't be afraid, I won't let you talk in vain..."
She took out a handful of candies, more than ten or twenty pieces in total, and stuffed them over.
Aunt Zhang: "Oh, you see, I am a very honest person. Come on, girl, follow me. I will tell you that at noon today..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Fan Jianguo became anxious.
"We're not kidding."
"My dear, I also know who the Fan family is. Why don't you tell me about it..."
This girl is so generous, she just gave me candy, such a big handful...
"What are you doing? This candy belongs to my family..." Fan Lian was unhappy and shouted. Why didn't he eat it, but gave it to outsiders? "Look at this, look at your sister-in-law's face."
Xu Yuqiao's face turned even darker. She stared at Fan Jianguo closely and felt that she needed to think carefully about this man...
