But it didn't stop Bai Fendou from being in a good mood. After all, his trip today was not in vain. Blowing up the cesspool for Old Lady Fan was enough to make him happy. Human happiness is that simple. Bai Fendou was full of energy and proud.
He Lan also had a smile on her face and felt happy.
Whenever she was happy, she would find something to do. On a hot summer evening, when everyone was enjoying the cool air, she was cleaning the windows.
Several male comrades in the hospital looked at Bai Fendou with envy. This man was obviously nothing, not even a man, but he was lucky. He Lan was not bad looking and hardworking. Look, everyone was chatting.
Only He Lan works seriously.
Bai Fendou also felt particularly elated. He looked at Zhou Qun and the Zhuang brothers with pride, and felt that he was the happiest man in the courtyard. The wives of others were not as good as him.
He raised his chin proudly, very arrogant.
Zhou Qun could understand Bai Fendou's feelings best. He snorted coldly and turned his face away.
He didn't know what Bai Fendou had to be proud of. He didn't even have a child, but he had a son. Was he proud? Not at all. He had to set a good example for his child.
Otherwise, he looked at the Su family silently. Anyway, he couldn't be like Su Jinlai.
Zhou Qun snorted coldly and said nothing.
As for Zhuang Zhiyuan and Zhuang Zhixi, the two brothers were discussing the issue of chicken laying eggs. They were really discussing this issue. Their chickens had been laying quite a lot of eggs recently, and it was worth discussing.
I have to say, it's just idle time.
The courtyard was bustling in the evening, with everyone gathered together to gossip about the family. At this time, a half-grown boy entered the courtyard. Zhao Guihua was the first to see him and asked, "Kid, who are you looking for?"
This boy is about the same age as Jin Lai, in his early teens.
The boy looked around and said, "I'm looking for Bai Doumu."
His eyes finally stopped at Bai Fendou, and he recognized him and said, "Uncle Fendou, I am Guan Guiling's son. Do you still recognize me?"
When Bai Fendou was flirting with Guan Guiling, he had been to Guan Guiling's house many times to help with housework. He recognized the boy immediately and said, "I know you. What's wrong?"
The boy immediately said, "My mother gave birth, but she didn't have enough money for the hospitalization fee, so she asked you to help her."
The boy was very confident.
Bai Fendou: “???”
He was still confused for a moment, and he said incredulously: "What the hell? Ask me to help her? Why should I help her?"
He thought about Guan Guiling's regret for breaking off the engagement and ruining his reputation, and he became unhappy: "Don't come to me, I have nothing to do with your mother, and I have no ability to help her."
The boy was unhappy and said, "How can you be so unkind? It turns out that you are always pretending to be a good person in front of my mother. Fortunately, my mother still thinks that you are a kind and selfless person who has escaped from vulgar tastes. It turns out that you are so petty. My mother is going through such a difficult time now. What can you do by helping her?"
Everyone looked at the boy in unison, feeling shocked. How could he say such a thing with such confidence? This was too...
The boy continued, "Please help my mother. She gave birth to a boy. Don't you want a son? If you come to help and behave well, I will persuade my mother to give you a chance. My brother can recognize you as his godfather. Wouldn't you have someone to take care of you in your old age?"
Bai Fendou frowned after hearing this, and quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a wife and children of my own, why should I raise your children? Give me a chance? I don't need it. Get out of here right now. I don't want to see you. You are really ignorant."
Bai Fendou waved his hands in disdain, like shooing away a fly.
What son? He already has a daughter. Qingqing is a good kid. Why would he raise someone else's child? His little Qingqing would even smile at him.
Bai Fendou was so disgusted that he said, "Go away, go find whoever you want. I'm too lazy to see your mother."
He Lan, who was wiping the glass, breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the boy and saw that he was staring at Bai Fendou unhappily, as if he didn't expect that she had given Bai Fendou a chance, but he was unwilling to seize it.
He said, "Who would look for you, a useless man? My mother is willing to let you take care of my brother because of the relationship you had in the past..."
Before he could finish, Bai Fendou couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the boy, walked to the door and threw him outside, saying, "Get out of here right now!"
The boy chewed a mouthful of mud and said in disbelief: "Bai Fendou, you bastard!"
Bai Fendou sneered, thinking back to when he was in a relationship with Guan Guiling, he would buy meat for her family every now and then. Now he just felt that the meat was fed to the dogs. What kind of people are these? spoiled you. Don't you see what kind of people are in your family? Ugh! Get out! Your mother slandered me behind my back, and I haven't settled the score with her yet? How dare your family come to my house? Do you really think I, Bai Fendou, am easy to bully? Get out of here, you little bastard!"
The boy's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by Bai Fendou. After all, he was just a child and didn't dare to confront Bai Fendou head-on. He could only shout: "You eunuch, you are a big eunuch!"
Bai Fendou waved his fist and the boy immediately ran away, sticking out his tongue slightly.
Bai Fendou: "Hey, you naughty kid. I'm going to teach you a lesson..."
The boy ran away quickly.
Bai Fendou didn't chase him, but came back angrily and said, "This family treats me like a fool."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if they think you are a fool, just don't think of yourself as a fool."
Bai Fendou shook his head and said, "That's impossible!"
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Fendou again, and thought about it and felt that what Bai Fendou said was not really nonsense. How to say this? If Bai Fendou had not met He Lan, maybe this kid could really get what he wanted, because Bai Fendou was not a smart person, and he was only interested in getting married and having children, so it was easy for him to be plotted against.
But now it's different, people have feelings. He has lived with He Lan for several months, and he has watched Xiao Qingqing grow from a weak kitten to a healthy child. He has invested a lot of feelings in her and really treats Xiao Qingqing as his own daughter.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for him to look for a child outside.
The kid outside has both his parents here, but you are still trying to fool him.
If he was impulsive, he might be cheated, but now that he has a family, he will definitely protect his own small family and is very sober.
As expected, Bai Fendou complained: "Do you think Guan Guiling is sick? She thinks I'm a sucker. She asked me to give birth to a child, but it's not my child. Do you think I can get money by saying something nice? Isn't it good for me to buy delicious food for Qingqing with that money?"
He Lan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Bai Fendou.
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's right. Besides, he has a father and a mother."
Bai Fendou slapped his thigh and said, "Of course he is. He has a father and a mother. Why should I get involved?"
Everyone was surprised when they talked about this, wondering what Guan Guiling was thinking. Zhou Qun, on the other hand, had not said anything. He picked at his fingers and suddenly said, "It's not right, Bai Fendou, Guan Guiling should have given birth a while ago! The date doesn't match."
Look at this. I've eaten a lot of melons, so I can notice every little detail.
If it were someone else, they would never have thought of this.
Bai Fendou: "Hey?"
Zhou Qun: "Look, you met her at a blind date convention, right? She was already pregnant at that time, right? How long has it been now? That was last year, and it's already August. What's going on? She was pregnant with Nezha? How come she just gave birth now?"
Bai Fendou: "Yeah, that's right!"
Everyone was a little confused. The dates didn't match. They definitely didn't match. There were several months difference. It was impossible for a child to be born after fourteen or fifteen months of pregnancy. He scratched his head and said, "What's going on?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "What else can it be? She must be trying to cheat you out of your money!"
He looked at Bai Fendou with sympathy, and he was confused. Why did such things always happen to Bai Fendou? Was he easy to cheat written all over his face? All kinds of monsters and demons were trying to get close to him.
Zhuang Zhixi said sincerely: "Bai Fendou, your life is different from that of ordinary people. Look at you, your life is so wonderful, full of ups and downs."
Bai Fendou: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then said, "You really don't mean anything good by saying this."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "I'm telling the truth."
As they were talking, the boy came back. Bai Fendou glared at him, picked up his slippers and chased him out. The boy shouted, "Don't come over here. I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for Chen Yuan. I'm looking for Chen Yuan..."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Although it had long been speculated that Chen Yuan was the one who betrayed Bai Fendou, it has now been confirmed.
"I'm looking for Chen Yuan."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Chen Yuan is not here. He lives with his parents and has not been back for several months."
"Ah?" The boy was unhappy and asked, "Where do his parents live?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “I don’t know.”
"How come you don't know? Don't you want to tell me?"
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and ignored the child instantly.
Well, it turns out that the children outside are not as cute as those at home.
What kind of naughty kids are these?
"Hey, what am I asking you?"
"How can you talk like that, kid? You have no manners at all. What kind of upbringing is this! Go away, don't come to our yard, you are such an annoying thing." Aunt Wang took the initiative to speak. At this time, she was somewhat thankful that Guan Guiling broke off the engagement, otherwise, if she brought such a bastard to their yard, it would be really annoying.
It is really difficult for her to manage the hospital.
The boy looked at everyone unconvinced, but seeing that no one was willing to pay attention to him, he snorted and cursed, "You losers!"
"Hey kid, I really want to give you a beating. Don't you know that the Horse King has three eyes..."
At this time, several men stood up. The boy saw that something was wrong and ran away again.
"What a naughty kid."
"It's a good thing it's not from our hospital."
"You said Chen Yuan too, he's really idle, he got you and Guan Guiling mixed up..." At this point, he glanced at Bai Fendou and held back his words. It's not good to say more, Bai Fendou has been married for a long time, it's not appropriate to bring up the matter of the collar.
Bai Fendou didn't care. He said, "Now that I think about it, it's actually a good thing that Chen Yuan messed up my affairs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met He Lan."
He Lan blushed slightly and smiled softly.
Zhao Guihua: "That's right, it's better for you to live a good life than anything else."
At this time Zhou Qun spoke again.
He said, "Oh, by the way, Xiaozhuang's wife, you and Guan Guiling are colleagues. You should know when she gave birth, right?"
Mingmei was called out and she shook her head: "I don't know. I'm not familiar with her and we no longer work in the same building. I don't know when she gave birth."
Everyone sighed with regret, they thought they would know.
Although Mingmei doesn't know, she is planning to find out tomorrow. It's just gossip!
Guan Guiling's borrowing money was a minor incident for their compound, but when they asked about it at work the next day, they found out that this matter was no longer news in their unit. And it was even more bizarre and tortuous.
This is also because Mingmei is still breastfeeding, and she has to go home every morning and afternoon, and is in a hurry all day long, so she doesn't know this.
As soon as Mingmei asked, someone in their office told her immediately.
"Don't you know? Guan Guiling gave birth a long time ago, three or four months ago."
Mingmei: “…” It turns out that this is not a newborn baby.
She said: "I didn't see her go home. I thought I was the only one in our unit who was breastfeeding."
"Guan Guiling really doesn't need to go home. Her child was given away as soon as it was born." After a pause, he said, "They said to the public that the child didn't survive, but in fact, she gave it away. She gave birth to a boy, and many people were willing to have him. Everyone knows about this. Mingmei, your news is not good. You need to catch up quickly. This news is from several months ago. It's really out of date."
Mingmei: "..."
She scratched her head and said, "I am busy with my children all day long, right?"
"Isn't your mother-in-law helping to take care of you?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes, but I can't just ignore it. That's my baby."
Everyone laughed. One of them, Sister Zhang, said, "You are really out of date. The news now is not about the child, but about her husband, oh no, that's called ex-husband. Guan Guiling's ex-husband is sick again and is now in the hospital. I heard that his health is not very good and it will cost a lot of money. She even went to our leader to cry and hope that the unit can organize a fund-raising event."
Mingmei: "There is no organization in our unit."
"Yes, there is no organization because the leaders did not agree. His family's income exceeds the minimum living standard of Beijing. How can we raise funds? Besides, whose family is doing well now? His family is not a short-term problem. You raise funds once, what about the next time? If someone else has a similar situation, will you still raise funds? If it is always like this, how can others live? Besides, she is divorced, so he is her ex-husband. She raised funds for her ex-husband and asked people in the unit to pay for it. This is not justified."
Mingmei: "..."
She knew why Guan Guiling's son came to visit her yesterday.
She asked curiously, "How is Guan Guiling's ex-husband doing?"
"He's a sickly person, he's been hospitalized every now and then, and he needs to take medicine for a long time. Otherwise, why don't our leaders dare to raise funds? If he can be cured in one go, they will definitely help. But the problem is that this is a long-term problem. We're raising funds for this hospitalization, and we're raising funds for the next hospitalization. Will we raise funds for the next time? We don't dare to start this."
Mingmei nodded slightly, understanding.
This is a replica of helping in emergencies but not helping the poor.
If it's just a one-time thing, everyone can help, but this is not a one-time thing. In the long run, everyone will have their own family.
"Oh, by the way, why did you think of asking her?"
Mingmei: "I just suddenly remembered that she is also pregnant. But I didn't see her go home to feed her baby, so I asked out of curiosity."
Mingmei didn't mention the fact that Guan Guiling's child went to ask Bai Fendou for money, in order to save face.
"Guan Guiling is also a brainless person. I heard that she is pregnant again..."
"Poof!" Mingmei spurted out the water she had just drunk. She said, "She, she, she, is pregnant again?"
Sister Zhang nodded: "Yes, she was vomiting in the cafeteria a few days ago. I knew she was pregnant at first sight. Others also noticed it. She didn't deny it."
Mingmei: "..."
She scratched her head again, and her hair became a mess. It was hard to understand.
She said: "She...she is divorced."
"Yes, but she and her ex-husband had a good relationship. They were still together after the divorce. Is there any need to talk about the relationship between men and women?"
Mingmei: "..."
Ah, this...
She felt like she was a little ignorant.
What is going on?
"Well, isn't she afraid of being caught? She's an unmarried lesbian, and this is considered promiscuous."
"I heard that she and her husband are going to remarry in the next few days."
Mingmei: "..."
She originally thought that their compound was a place that was full of gossip. But she didn't expect that their unit would also produce gossip. Guan Guiling was considered a genius. Her expression was tangled, and she just couldn't understand it.
She remembered that when she went to the hospital, the doctor told her that even if she wanted to have another child, she had to rest for two or three years, otherwise it would be bad for her health. Frequent childbirth hurts women.
Mingmei: "Guan Guiling..."
After a pause, I really didn't know what to say, so I could only remain silent.
"It's true that it's easiest to get pregnant right after the confinement period. Guan Guiling calculated the date and it's that time..." Sister Zhang was still chattering.
At this time, another older sister also interrupted: "She couldn't afford to raise her last child, and now she's pregnant again. Wouldn't she be unable to raise another one? She shouldn't have gotten pregnant."
"So if you say you don't want to get pregnant, then you don't want to get pregnant? They have a good relationship with their husband and wife."
Mingmei: "..."
Mingmei was speechless more times today than in the past month.
What is going on?
She was amazed and felt that she had seen a divine being again.
Because of Guan Guiling's actions, Mingmei was thinking about this person all day, and she was still sighing when she got off work. What she sighed even more was that Guan Guiling was really fertile, one after another... The last person who was so fertile was Wang Zizhen's mother.
Mingmei knew that Wang Zizhen's mother had become very old and weak due to frequent childbirth.
She pursed her lips and felt that she must not do this.
Although she was shocked all day, Mingmei still hurried home after get off work. She had agreed with He Chen yesterday that he should come today. After all, since the guests came to visit, Mingmei would not delay them.
She rode her bike all the way home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw He Chen sitting in their yard. Even Zhuang Zhixi had returned.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Wife, are you back?"
He stood up and took Mingmei's hand, then sat down under the eaves together and said, "I came home early from get off work today, and I ran into He Chen when I walked into the alley. I knew at first glance that he must be coming to our house, and it turned out to be true."
He Chen smiled: "This is also a coincidence."
Mingmei smiled and said, "Why don't you come into the house?"
"I just came out of the house. It's cooler outside." He Chen was also very familiar with the person. He said, "It just so happens that your baby wants to come out too, so I came out with him. Children are really fun."
Mingmei: "You can say this in front of your mother. By the way, how was your blind date?"
He Chen: "I met one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but it didn't work out."
Zhao Guihua brought out some tea and said, "It's easy for a good guy like Xiao He to find a partner. He's good-looking, has a good family background, and a respectable job. These conditions are pretty good. You can find one whenever you want. It all depends on your own preference."
Xiao He: "That's not true, but my mother doesn't think so. She thinks that if I don't get married, I won't be able to find a wife."
He Chen was really exhausted when he came back this time. In the past, his parents always tried to match him up with Mingmei. Later, he signed up for the army and Mingmei went on a blind date and got married. His parents were at a loss.
He hadn't been back for three years, and this time he thought everything was stable and his parents would stop messing around with him. But he never expected that the old man and his wife would be so upset that they became even more anxious.
Of course, the main culprit for the stimulation was Mingmei.
Their thinking is, Mingmei already has a child, but he is still single, how can this work? They are at the same starting line, but she has already made two laps, while he has not even started yet, which makes parents unhappy. They feel that their children are too weak.
He glared at Mingmei and said, "You really caused me a lot of trouble."
Mingmei's eyes widened: "Why are you still blaming others?"
He Chen: "Your parents brag about you giving birth to twins all day long. My parents are really worried and think I'm a backward person."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "It's okay to fall behind, why are you still trying so hard to be strong?"
Zhuang Zhixi felt more relieved when he saw Mingmei and He Chen being so open and honest with each other. Actually, he didn't think it was a big deal at first, but they grew up together after all, so Zhuang Zhixi was still a little jealous.
He was not jealous of someone bringing them together, and he was not a fool. It would be embarrassing to be jealous. He was jealous that He Chen could grow up with Mingmei.
Mingmei must have been very cute when she was a child! He asked curiously, "Mingmei was very cute when she was a child, right?"
He Chen looked at Zhuang Zhixi in surprise and said, "You really are a beholder. How did you know Mingmei was cute when she was a child?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “You can see it from head to toe.”
He Chen: “…”
He finally understood why it was impossible for him to be a couple with Mingmei, even though both parents were interested in her. His parents were especially interested, but that didn't work. Because he had seen Mingmei's unlovable side many times.
Mingmei has seen his unmanly side many times.
No one was interested anymore.
Look at Zhuang Zhixi, he actually thinks Mingmei was very cute when she was a child with a clear conscience. This is something He Chen cannot understand.
Perhaps He Chen's expression was too hard to describe. Zhuang Zhixi said, "What's that expression on your face? Do you know how jealous I am that you can see my wife's cute childhood?"
He Chen was even more speechless, his expression was as if he had swallowed a fly.
After a long pause, he said, "You know what? When we were little, in our neighborhood, no matter if we were big or small, we all called Mingmei the eldest. Guess how fierce she was?"
Mingmei snorted: "That's because you are too weak."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Indeed, most men are not as good as my wife, but who says that being fierce is not cute? Fierceness can be cute too."
He Chen was choked and didn't even know how to say this. He curled his lips and sighed in his heart again, it is true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
He said: "Mingmei practiced martial arts when she was young. At that time, our compound often had fights with children from other compounds. Every time, Mingmei took us to fight back. She was famous in our area. I have a relative who scares children by saying: If you cry, I will send you to play with Mingmei."
Mingmei snorted heavily.
Zhuang Zhixi was very calm. He smiled and said, "My wife is still very cute, little heroine. She doesn't take the initiative to bully others."
"That's right."
That being said, can a fierce girl also be called cute?
Mingmei rolled her eyes and said, "You are such an ungrateful person. I helped you back then."
He Chen immediately said in a flattering manner: "So you are our boss. Once you are the boss, you will be the boss for life. Our friendship is very pure."
Mingmei snorted again.
Zhuang Zhixi also laughed, but he put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "My wife hated evil when she was little."
He Chen: "Maybe this is love."
Although it was the first time He Chen met Zhuang Zhixi, both of them were quite familiar with each other, so there was no awkwardness at all and they were able to chat. Zhuang Zhixi quickly asked: "You are in the army, is the management of your army strict?"
He Chen: "Of course it is strict. We are different from other troops. We are stricter."
But he didn't say where exactly.
"Why? Are you interested in this?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Not really. I'm just asking for someone else. Tell me, if you learn that someone has a bad work style and receive such a report, how would you handle it?"
He Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Generally, we will conduct a strict investigation and then analyze the specific situation."
He said, "Do you know anyone who's facing this situation?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes. But she was of average background and didn't get a marriage certificate at the time, so I don't know if that would affect the judgment of the matter."
"Yes. But as I said, different people handle different things differently. But just from what you said, I feel that her chances of successfully reporting the case are not high. Although many people are considered married after having a wedding banquet, they still need to see the marriage certificate to be formal, and it is even more difficult to say if the background is not good. He can argue that he is drawing a clear line between himself and bad elements. Is there nothing to say about this? Unless he can produce solid evidence of his bad work style, but such evidence, if I may be frank, is difficult to produce."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I understand."
He Chen: "Generally speaking, when we receive a report letter, we will verify it from several aspects... and then... we will refer to it when handling it..."
He Chen must have understood their operation better than Zhuang Zhixi. With such a simple explanation, Zhuang Zhixi knew that it would be difficult for Bai Fendou and He Lan to expose Fan Jianguo in a formal way. This matter is just like in the local area. Many people cut off the father-son relationship and divorced their husbands and wives in order to avoid being implicated. So if Fan Jianguo said so, then He Lan would have no choice.
"Okay, I understand."
He Chen: "Do you need my help?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "That's not necessary."
Although he has a sense of justice and wants to help Fan Jianguo and He Lan, it doesn't mean he is completely stupid.
He smiled and said, "We are just ordinary friends. I am just asking around for them, but I won't make all the decisions for them. By the way, my brother-in-law is also a soldier. He is on an island in the south. My sister followed the army and hasn't been back for several years."
"We are like this. Sometimes we really have no choice. I have a comrade-in-arms whose child was not yet born when he left home. When he returned, the child was running around the village, asking his uncle who he was looking for."
This is also the reason why He Chen doesn't want to get married. It's not easy to be a military wife when they are separated by distance.
He said, "Hey, do you know which island your brother-in-law is on? I'm also in the south, and we have many islands under our jurisdiction."
Zhuang Zhixi gave an address, and He Chen said: "Well, I'll go. It's not too far from me."
He smiled and said, "I will be leaving next week. If you have anything you want to take, tell me and I will bring it over for you. My military camp is in the city where their island is located."
"ah."
Not to mention Zhuang Zhixi, even Zhao Guihua was extremely surprised. It was really a great surprise.
She said, "That would be great, but will it be a bother for you?"
He Chen: "What's the trouble? It's just a small matter. If you think I'm too tired, you can send me off at the station."
He was joking, but Zhao Guihua took it seriously: "Okay, let Lao San take you there."
He Chen: "...That's not necessary."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's okay."
He Chen: "Then let me tell you about the climate or some customs there?"
Zhao Guihua: "That's great, thank you."
In fact, Zhao Guihua knew what it was like over there, after all, she knew it in her previous life. But mothers are always like this, even if they can't know their daughter's life, they are happy to hear more about the environment over there.
She kicked Zhuang Zhixi and said, "What are you still doing here? Go buy some ribs so we can make something delicious."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Why me again?"
He stood up silently, Mingmei giggled. Although He Chen came to see her childhood sweetheart, Zhao Guihua caught him. Mingmei didn't think it was a big deal, so she sat aside and smiled.
Aunt Zhou leaned over her door and looked out, puzzled, and said, "Didn't they say that man came to see the child?"
She was even more puzzled and asked, "Why is he still chatting so enthusiastically with Zhao Guihua?"
Jiang Lu: "Aunt Zhao is a warm and welcoming person."
Aunt Zhou: "Bullshit. She's warm and welcoming? You believe that? Look, her in-laws got beaten up, how can she still be warm and welcoming? Haha."
Jiang Lu: "That's their own fault."
Aunt Zhou: “…That’s true.”
She said with emotion: "This Liang family is too cowardly. They dared not even say a word when Zhao Guihua came to their door."
Jiang Lu said nothing, just held the child and watched the fun.
Speaking of Leung Mei-fun's parents, they really wanted to come to their house to make trouble. Their house was smashed and they were beaten up like this. They felt very upset. But when it came to going to their house to get back at their parents, they started to make excuses.
Old Man Liang hopes that his wife, Old Lady Hu, will go by herself.
Old Mrs. Hu hopes that Old Liang, the head of the family, will go alone.
Liang Xiaodi hoped that his parents would go together, while his wife hoped that the old couple would take their son with them, and she, the daughter-in-law, would stay at home.
In short, everyone wanted others to go, and no one wanted to go by themselves. They discussed this matter for several days, but could not come to a conclusion. They even alarmed the family of Liang's younger brother's wife.
Seeing their daughter being beaten, the family was unwilling to show weakness. But after learning about the fierce battle that day, the family was unwilling to stand out.
If this were a good thing, they would definitely run away faster than anyone else, but now it is not a good thing, so they have to think twice.
This won't work.
The first effort is strong, the second will weaken and the third will be exhausted.
They now have no confidence in getting their revenge, so they just curse at others at home to vent their anger, but they dare not really do anything.
Not to mention not daring, even if I saw Zhao Guihua on the street, I would probably hide.
He really bullies the weak and fears the strong.
In fact, Leung Mei-fen hesitated for a long time, but still went home secretly to take a look. Although she went home secretly to take a look, she did not go home. Instead, she hid outside and looked around quietly. Seeing that her parents and brother were injured but able to eat, drink, and go to work, and that nothing was wrong, Leung Mei-fen felt relieved.
As for showing up to appease the people, that didn't happen.
She didn't dare show up, because if she did, his parents would definitely make a scene. Liang Meifen was really scared.
But since her parents were fine, she was in a good mood. She had a good job at the machinery factory. Sure enough, her gossip did not last for two days and was covered by other gossip.
What happened in her family is really a trivial matter.
There was a lot of work in the factory recently, so Liang Meifen worked overtime after get off work and then walked back. As soon as she reached the alley, she met Yu Laosan's wife, who was carrying a lunch box and walking out. Although they lived in the same alley, the two families were not familiar with each other.
When Liang Meifen saw this woman, she thought of the fact that she was having an affair with her brother-in-law, and she felt very uncomfortable.
However, the third son's wife didn't care. When she saw Liang Meifen, she stopped and greeted her: "You just got off work?"
Priscilla Leung: "Ah? Oh, yes, I just got off work."
"Has your factory recruited temporary workers recently?"
In the Yu family, only the eldest brother Yu has a formal job, while the others do odd jobs.
Priscilla Leung: “???”
She hesitated and said, "I haven't heard of it. Doesn't your uncle work in the machinery factory? Why don't you ask him?"
This family also has people from the machinery factory, so why ask outsiders? Yu Laosan's wife sneered and said, "Him? It's good enough that he doesn't lie. Don't even think about expecting him to tell us such news." She looked at Liang Meifen and said, "Look, we all live in the same alley, so we are neighbors. If there is such a good thing, you must tell us."
Liang Meifen: "You should ask someone else for this matter. I'm just an apprentice and I don't pay much attention to it. Besides, the machinery factory doesn't recruit temporary workers like this! I haven't even heard of it."
She was really a little confused, but she really didn't want to get involved in the Yu family's affairs. The people in this family were not ordinary people. She silently took a step back and said, "I'll leave first."
Yu Laosan's wife: "No, why are you hiding? I can't eat you. If you knew about it, couldn't you just send me a message? Isn't this too selfish?"
Liang Meifen smiled awkwardly: "You should ask someone else."
She left in a hurry. Yu Laosan's wife looked at Liang Meifen's back, pouted and said, "She is really unreliable."
She carried the lunch box and ran to the hospital. Liang Meifen looked back and saw that the man had left. She pouted and quickened her pace. She was not willing to say a word to this man who was involved with her brother-in-law. Otherwise, if people spread that she had a good relationship with Yu Laosan's wife, she would lose face.
Although Wang Xiangxiu had a bad reputation before, she was a widow. But she was married, and she was having an affair with her husband's brother... That was even worse, and I really didn't know what to say. Although the Yu family didn't spread the news, everyone in this alley knew that the two brothers of the Yu family had fought, and now both were in the hospital.
You say, what is this plot! Liang Meifen left everywhere, but she didn't see it. After she left, a gloomy old lady came out of the toilet and poohed at Liang Meifen's back. She cursed in a low voice: "Your family has lost your conscience. Why doesn't God kill you, these unlucky bastards."
This person was no one else but the old lady of the Yu family, Yu Baoshan’s biological mother.
The old lady loved her youngest son Yu Baoshan the most, but something happened to her youngest son, which made the old lady very angry. She hated Bai Fendou and his son very much. If she hadn't fought with Bai Fendou and his son, her son would not have been cut off.
If his son had not been extinct, he would not have gone crazy and wanted to take revenge on the Bai family father and son.
If he hadn't wanted to deal with the Bai father and son, he wouldn't have hidden in the toilet, been bumped into by Zhuang Zhixi, and finally been struck by lightning and died.
So the beginning of everything was the Bai family father and son. Her number one enemy was the Bai family father and son.
The second enemy is Zhuang Zhixi from the Zhuang family. You said that when Zhuang Zhixi encountered such a thing, he would stay where he was and let his son cut a few times. Why did he dare to run away? If he hadn't run around and finally climbed up the wall, his son would not have cut the wall and cut the wires, causing lightning. So, Zhuang Zhixi should be the second person.
The third enemy is Wang Xiangxiu. Since you and my son were hiding in the toilet, you should have stopped him from chasing Zhuang Zhixi. He couldn't do that. Zhen Zhen is a damned person. The old lady of the Yu family blinked her triangular eyes and stared at their compound with hatred, her eyes full of vicious curses.
She cursed those who harmed her son Yu Baoshan to die a miserable death.
These people don't deserve a good life.
She wanted to curse them to death. She had been cursing the Bai family father and son before, and the old man died. She felt that her curse was still very effective. She wanted to continue to curse them. The next one would be them. They must die one by one! They must die! Old Mrs. Yu did not delay and went home immediately. She really had to curse at all.
Although she didn't dare to do anything, she was very good at cursing.
Curse them!
As long as she works hard, there is no one who cannot be killed by the curse.
When she gets home, she will make a few more dolls, put their names on them and curse them, and then we will see how much suffering they will suffer.
The old lady left proudly. Lan Sihai: “???”
When he came out of the men's restroom, he heard the old lady muttering all the way, saying that she was going to curse someone to death. In his entire life, he had never seen anyone curse someone to death. This old lady was truly mysterious.
Lan Sihai shook his head slightly. It was true that there were all kinds of birds in a big forest.
Luo Xiaohe went back to her parents' home today. He bought dinner for himself, but he was not in a hurry to go home to cook. He walked home leisurely. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw guests coming to the farm, and it was very lively. Mingmei called, "Grandpa!"
Lan Sihai: “Hmm?”
Mingmei: "Look, can you still recognize him? This is He Chen."
Lan Sihai glanced at him and nodded: "I remember, when he was a kid, he stuffed peanuts into his nose and couldn't get them out, so he had to go to the hospital to get them out."
He Chen: “…”
Why do we need to mention this dark history? It is so tragic when this elder I know appears. I always have to be reminded of the many ignorant things I did when I was a child. It is very hurtful.
In fact, Lan Sihai and He Chen were not very familiar with each other. Lan Sihai only interacted with the neighbors when he came to his daughter's house. The reason why he remembered it clearly was because Lan Sihai gave He Chen peanuts. This child got into trouble right away.
Lan Sihai laughed a lot.
I remember it very clearly.
Zhao Guihua: "Uncle Lan, come over and have dinner with us, so we can have some fun together."
Lan Sihai: "Okay, I'll add another dish for you."
He also bought dinner and just brought it over.
"How dare you be so kind."
The yard was bustling with activity. Wang Xiangxiu looked outside and swallowed her saliva at the aroma. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's fry some eggs too."
Yinlai and Tonglai's eyes lit up and they were both very happy.
Wang Xiangxiu's family's food is not as good as before, but it is not bad. She eats more coarse grains, while the children actually eat more refined grains. Tong said something nice, saying, "Mom, you are the best mom. No one is better than you."
Wang Xiangxiu laughed and said, "It's OK as long as you know. Mom doesn't want anything else, just that you can have a promising future when you grow up. You study hard, and when the time comes, you can take over my job and join the factory. With a good education, you can work in an office. Look at Uncle Zhuang Zhixi, he is different from other people because he graduated from high school. He can go to the Propaganda Department. Look at Bai Fendou, he didn't even graduate from elementary school, so he can only work in the workshop. The work in the workshop is tiring and dirty. Mom hopes you have a good future."
Tonglai said sweetly: "I will study hard, work as a leader in the office in the future, and let my mother live a good life."
Wang Xiangxiu nodded with a smile: "Okay. Mom will wait."
She said: "Your second brother and I are waiting to enjoy your blessing."
Tong Lai: “Okay!”
Wang Xiangxiu: "Here. Let's each have half of these scrambled eggs."
Yinlai and Tonglai both happily agreed.
Wang Xiangxiu was also satisfied.
No one had expected that the unit He Chen was in was so close to the unit where Zhuang Zhixin's husband was stationed. Everyone was very enthusiastic when chatting, and Zhao Guihua even talked with He Chen until very late before letting him go.
If you don't know, you might think He Chen is his child.
Lan Sihai contributed a bottle of liquor, and everyone felt a little dizzy. However, He Chen had been in the army before, so he could drink quite well. He was fine and went home normally. The other men in the village did not feel dizzy at all, and they lay down to rest as soon as he left.
Mingmei took care of Zhuang Zhixi and helped him lie down. Zhuang Zhixi lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, and said, "Wife, why are you so beautiful?"
Mingmei: "You, if you can't drink, don't drink. You drink so much and I still have to take care of you."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "My wife is so pretty."
Mingmei was too lazy to pay attention to the drunkard. She washed her handkerchief and wiped the child's face. Zhuang Zhixi said, "I want one too."
Mingmei: “…”
She said coquettishly: "What else do you want?"
"I still want you."
Zhuang Zhixi held Mingmei tightly and said, "I am so lucky to have found such a good wife like you."
Mingmei smiled softly and said, "Okay, I know. I was originally yours. I am also very lucky to have met you."
It is very difficult to fall in love with someone at first sight. Mingmei thinks that she is really lucky. Zhuang Zhixi has a good personality and is a good person. Although he is sometimes unreasonable, he has a sense of justice.
She knew that Zhuang Zhixi asked those questions today in order to help Bai Fendou and He Lan.
She lowered her head and gently kissed Zhuang Zhixi's forehead, saying, "You are really good."
Zhuang Zhixi hugged Mingmei tightly and said, "Since I'm so nice, please kiss me more!"
Mingmei looked at the child who was rolling around and whispered, "No, the baby hasn't fallen asleep yet."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed in a low voice, as if he understood what she meant. He whispered, "Then...it's OK as long as they fall asleep, right?"
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Just lie down and be good."
She pushed Zhuang Zhixi away and saw that he was still looking at her straight. She blushed and went to wash the towel, then came to his side: "Come, wipe your face."
Zhuang Zhixi said in a naughty way: "Then I want you to help me, just like you help me wipe the baby's face, I want it too."
Mingmei laughed: "You think you are a baby."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Mingmei, lovely Xiaomei..."
Mingmei: "Okay, okay, you're so annoying."
Although she said so, the corners of her mouth curled up. She gently wiped Zhuang Zhixi's face. Zhuang Zhixi just looked at her and said, "I think He Chen really doesn't know how to appreciate gold and jade."
Mingmei pinched his cheek and said, "Stop talking nonsense. There's nothing wrong between He Chen and me. If you say that, I'll be angry."
Zhuang Zhixi's face was distorted, and he quickly said, "I was wrong, I'm not talking nonsense."
Mingmei snorted.
Zhuang Zhixi leaned towards Mingmei, and simply lay on her legs, saying, "I don't mean anything else, and I'm not jealous..."
Mingmei: "You don't call this jealous? This is Shanxi aged vinegar."
Zhuang Zhixi: “No way.”
Mingmei: “Yes, there is.”
Zhuang Zhixi grumbled, Mingmei poked his face and said, "Don't say such things in the future, least people misunderstand and feel embarrassed. There's nothing wrong."
Zhuang Zhixi immediately: "Yes!"
Mingmei: "Okay, come, I'll help you take off your coat, and go to bed early."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I can't sleep, why don't we do something... Hey!"
Mingmei grabbed his face again. Mingmei said, "You are still talking nonsense to me, right? The child is not asleep yet, stop messing around."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…It’s bitter.”
He turned his head to look at the baby and said, "Why don't they show any consideration for mom and dad?"
Mingmei poked him: "Go to hell. Clean up quickly and we'll go to bed together."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
Although he did have some thoughts, he would not do it in front of the awake child. He was a serious person. Mingmei changed the baby's diaper and put a thin towel on the baby. The child babbled and was very unconvinced. The little legs kicked quickly, as if to kick off the things covering the body.
Mingmei whispered, "I know you're hot, but you'll catch a cold if you don't cover yourself at night."
Actually, the baby couldn't understand, but Mingmei was used to say everything. The two children also whimpered in response.
Mingmei also washed herself, and then the family of four lay down together. Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei put the two children in the middle. Zhuang Zhixi propped up his chin and said, "Baby, go to sleep~"
Mingmei: "Go to bed early."
Although Zhuang Zhixi had some other thoughts, he was indeed a little sleepy. The baby was still asleep, but he had fallen asleep. Mingmei saw that he was asleep, smiled and turned off the light.
It was late at night.
On a summer night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
There was no movement at night, not even the sound of a dog barking. In such a quiet night, an old lady quietly came out from the courtyard at the end of the alley. She was a little cautious, but she was familiar with the place.
Of course she is familiar with the place, as she has lived in this alley for many years.
This person was not someone else, but an acquaintance, the old lady Yu from the Yu family. She tiptoed to the gate of the No. 44 courtyard. She smiled cunningly, gently pushed open the gate, and muttered softly: "There is not a single good person in your courtyard."
Nowadays, many courtyards do not lock their gates, which makes it more convenient to get up at night. There is nothing to worry about anyway, and the public security is good so people do not lock their doors at night.
She gently pushed the door open, and it creaked. Old Mrs. Yu was startled and quickly huddled in the corner. After a long while, she saw no one responding, and no one seemed to get up. She tiptoed into the yard, looked around, and landed on the clothes drying rack in the yard, and smiled triumphantly.
This is what she came out for this time.
She identified the direction and confirmed the location of the banker, but when she looked at the door of the banker, she found that there was no clothes hanging outside the window. She frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful, but quickly turned her eyes to other houses.
Well, there were children's clothes hanging outside Wang Xiangxiu's house, so Old Lady Yu hurried over...
"Catch the thief!"
