Yes, who says there are no thieves nowadays? These years are relatively peaceful, and there are not many thieves. After all, everyone is poor, and the rats are pitiful, because there is really nothing to steal. And if a stranger appears in the alley, a group of aunties will immediately stare at him, and someone may come forward to question him before he can do anything.
But even so, the profession of thief still exists.
For people who are used to stealing and earning a lot of money, it is difficult for them to "change their careers" if you ask them to do something else. It is difficult for them to work hard when they can make money easily, so there are always such people in this city, and such people basically don't walk around the streets.
This is because they cannot deal with those aunties with sharp eyes. Don't underestimate aunties. An auntie is no less than a detective. So they choose some public places, such as the entrance of department stores, on buses, and on trains.
It's basically like this.
Even though Mingmei herself doesn't realize it, her reputation is well known throughout the city. She is the famous tigress on Route 140, and no one dares to mess with her. This bus route shows that getting into trouble is a death sentence.
This is because photography technology was not well developed in those days, otherwise these thieves would each have a Mingmei photo and stay away from her.
She caught thieves on the bus twice and a robber once. The story spread everywhere. When they heard that Mingmei was going to be transferred, they really wanted to make a big fuss. There is no such good thing in the world.
May the ancestors bless you.
Because Mingmei was going to be transferred, I don't know how many people ate meat to celebrate.
This caused several gangs to discuss: "How about we go to the entrance of their bus station and set off firecrackers."
"Why don't we buy a pig together and send it over to thank them for transferring this bitch away?"
"No, no, you are afraid that others will not be able to target us, right? Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
"During this period of time, we should not go to that 140th Road, lest they transfer her back. We should slow down a bit and let this matter pass smoothly, and then we can do what we need to do. Wasn't she transferred away because she was pregnant? Wait a few months and her belly will be big, and this matter will be settled without any more waves."
"Yes, yes, yes, boss, you have the best idea."
"Damn it, I never want to see this woman again. She's too fierce."
"I sympathize with her man anyway. Do you think she should beat her man?"
"I think he will definitely beat me."
"I think so too. If she's not satisfied with anything, she can call her father. It's a perfect father-daughter doubles match. I sympathize with her!"
"Sympathy."
"Don't mind other people's business. Let's just secretly set off some firecrackers to celebrate. Okay, right outside our door."
"OK!"
Mingmei didn't know that her transfer would cause such a big stir, but she was still very happy. After all, no one wants to suffer, right? Even in her dream, she felt uncomfortable. Because of the change of job, she bought a pound of snacks when she got home from get off work.
I originally wanted to buy meat, but her family still had some mutton that hadn't been eaten. Even though it had been marinated, it was summer after all, so her family didn't buy meat now.
Mingmei came back with some snacks. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Zhuang Zhixi riding his bike to pick her up. He saw that Mingmei had already arrived and asked in surprise, "You left early?"
Mingmei shook her head and said, "No, I get off work normally. But today when I got off work, I was lucky and happened to catch the bus that went to our line, so I sat at the entrance of the alley."
Zhuang Zhixi stepped forward and held his wife's hand. Mingmei said, "I'm not a giant panda. I don't need to do this."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You have to take it easy."
Mingmei: "I've been transferred to another job, and today is my last day at work."
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Mingmei in surprise and said, "So fast?"
Mingmei laughed and said, "Yes, my mother is close to the people in the station. Besides, if I am transferred, I will earn less money. Although I don't want to be a ticket seller, there are many people who are willing to do so."
Zhuang Zhixi thought about it and nodded, thinking that this made sense. After all, the car cost three yuan, and for ordinary people, money is definitely more important. Especially for those with families, the heavy burden at home makes them want to earn more money.
He said, "That's great, we can rest together from now on."
In the past, if they wanted to be together, they always had to ask for leave, but now it is different. They take weekends off normally and can do everything together. After all, they are a young couple who just got married not long ago and are very sweet.
The two walked forward together. When they passed the toilet, they saw these people were still digging out feces. It must be said that their speed of digging out feces was really too slow.
It's not that they are slow, but that they are very meticulous in their work. There is no other way, who made them suspect that there is something hidden in the toilet. Naturally, they have to check every inch, even the cesspool. However, the weather is warm now, which makes this street smell very bad.
Mingmei covered her nose, looked up at the sky with melancholy, and said, "I don't know how many days it will take to finish this work."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You should leave quickly. You are a pregnant woman. Don't smell this smell. It might be bad for your health."
Mingmei: "Ah, I haven't heard of this."
She hasn't said anything like this yet, but it does stink.
The young couple quickened their pace. They were still walking normally. Most children passing by would cover their noses and run away. Even the three Jinlai brothers of the Su family, who were fearless, did not dare to stand aside.
This matter is really challenging.
So they also hid far away. If they were not really afraid of provoking them, they would have wanted to go over and throw stones. Can you guys work faster? The smell is too strong! However, they are just young, not stupid! So, they dare not!
The victims complained a lot, but the ones who complained even more were the workers. They didn't get any money, but they were the first to be responsible for removing feces. It was really hard for the workers. They suffered, but they didn't get to eat the meat.
Not only that, I also have to endure everyone's strange looks. In short, the mental pressure is huge.
They were humiliated here, and turned around to curse the unlucky Yu Baoshan, asking him to do all kinds of evil things. If you wanted to hide something, you should have hidden it in a better place. Why did he choose a place like this? He must have been afraid that he would be suffocated to death.
It is hard work to remove excrement, but next they have to build toilets for people. In such a hot day, it makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it. How can I not feel dizzy? They have never done such physical work before.
But their leader refused to make things clear and insisted on covering it up, which made things even more difficult for them.
It's very hard! As long as a person wants to make a living, he has to endure hardships.
Everyone worked in a depressed mood, hoping to find those things quickly, and at best, they would share some of them. That would make their efforts worthwhile. Zhao Guihua went out with the paper in her hand, glanced at them from a distance, and ran quickly to the street behind.
That look.
One of the younger ones couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "People look down on us when they come out to use the restroom."
"Okay, stop complaining. If the boss hears you, he'll be unhappy. Let's get to work."
"But it's hard to tell who's wrong."
"The fox will always show its tail. If someone really took so much gold, silver and jewelry, they would always feel guilty."
"Even if we don't feel guilty, we should be ecstatic. We are keeping an eye on different people, and we will definitely gain something."
"Um."
They have been working here for two days, but they didn't notice anything wrong with the people around them. But people felt something was wrong when they saw them. After all, it was outrageous that someone with a mental problem would come out and do this.
"Let's do it. Just consider it bad luck for us."
The hard work of workers is truly vivid.
Zhao Guihua ran to the toilet, but she felt very happy in her heart. These people were not good people. They were showing off their power all day long. They fought this one today and dealt with that one tomorrow. Seeing them suffer, everyone was secretly happy in their hearts.
Of course, they would be happier if they didn't mess with the toilet.
This is fine during the day, but if you have diarrhea at night, the toilet is too far away.
Zhao Guihua complained in her heart for a while before coming out of the toilet. The toilet was far away for them now. The leader said at that time that it would take three or four days to finish the work, but now it seems like pure nonsense. They have been cleaning out the feces for two days and it is still not finished. It will probably take at least a week.
Who made them work so slowly?
"Zhao Guihua." Zhao Guihua turned around and saw Aunt Lian.
Aunt Lian came over with a small bag in her hand and asked, "I heard that Aunt Zhou from your yard went to jail. Is this true?"
Zhao Guihua: “It’s true.”
She nodded and said, "You are..."
Aunt Lian: "Didn't she want two old hens? I got them, but I don't know if her family still wants them. Are her children home?"
Zhao Guihua: "No, they all went out early in the morning. I guess they went to find someone to smooth things over. Aunt Zhou is superstitious..." She paused and said bluntly: "Aunt Zhou won't bite you, will she?"
Don't expect Aunt Zhou to keep any secrets. That's impossible.
If it is really caught, it will definitely climb and bite its way out.
Zhao Guihua felt that Aunt Zhou would not be polite to Aunt Lian. This old lady was like that. She would never be polite when calculating others. She was the typical type who could let down the world, but the world could not let her down.
When asked by Zhao Guihua, Aunt Lian was very calm. She said, "It's okay. Whatever she said must be true. That doesn't make sense. I'm very familiar with the work of the police station. They must have solid evidence, otherwise I won't admit it. Aunt Zhou said I was superstitious, so I am superstitious? It's useless to just say it. I won't admit it unless I'm caught in the act. I'm an old widow, so who am I afraid of? Besides, I'm this old. I can make a little money. No one will arrest me if it's not too much. They won't catch me on the spot. Hey, don't worry. I'll be fine anyway. I've seen a lot of things. Last time, I got away with the cloth scraps in the garment factory."
Aunt Lian asked again, "The one who manages your yard, Aunt Wang, doesn't she also want old hens? Can you ask her to give her this pair first? Does she want them? If she does, come over here. I'll wait for her here. If she doesn't come... well, I'll wait for her for a while. If she doesn't come, I'll know. Oh, it's really annoying. There are a bunch of red-armbanded people working in the alley above your house. Otherwise, I would have taken them over directly. It's really a waste of time."
This affects her ability to earn money, these bastards.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, I'll give her a message for you."
Aunt Lian: "Oh, right. Do you want some dried mushrooms? Look, these are the best. I picked them up from the countryside. They are genuine, clean, and good dried mushrooms. Add all of these together and you'll give me 20 cents."
She shook her head and said, "Look, it's quite a lot."
Zhao Guihua immediately reached out to take it and said, "Let me see."
She dug around and saw that there were quite a lot of dried mushrooms, strung together and stuffed in a cloth bag. It looked heavy, but two cents was a reasonable price. If she took it to the black market, the price would be a little higher than this, after all, the black market would charge a commission.
But two cents is not very cheap, so she said, "Be cheaper."
Aunt Lian: "Oh, you know, you have to let me earn some money. I came from the countryside, so I have the capital. And look at how good this is. Look at this mushroom, our food station can't even supply such good ones."
Zhao Guihua nodded, admitting the quality of the mushroom. She thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll take this one."
She said, "Here."
Although she was going to the toilet, Zhao Guihua still put money in her pocket.
In fact, most people don't carry money when they go out now, but Zhao Guihua was reborn after all, so she still had the habit of carrying three cents with her in case of emergency. Now, she put it to use. Aunt Lian originally wanted to wait for her to give her money. Seeing the money, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to you if I have something good in the future."
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "I think it's OK."
She said: "I have a big family, so I have to eat and drink a lot, and it costs money."
“The more people there are, the more money you can make.”
Aunt Lian winked and said, "You have many workers in your family, so you live a good life."
Zhao Guihua didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "There are more people in my family who don't work than those who do, and the children are still in school. However, you can't make life hard for yourself, you still have to eat. Okay, I'm leaving."
Aunt Lian: "Okay."
Regarding Aunt Zhou being arrested, Aunt Lian really doesn't seem worried at all. She is not afraid that Aunt Zhou will bite her, so she just does what she has to do.
Besides, who doesn't have a background? She didn't do anything serious, she was just trying to make a living. The police station wouldn't arrest her.
Zhao Guihua went out to use the toilet and got two cents worth of dried mushrooms. She returned the bag to Aunt Lian and walked back with the bunch of dried mushrooms. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she met Bai Fendou and Wang Zhaodi.
Bai Fendou: "Hey, Aunt Zhao, where have you been? These dried mushrooms are pretty good."
Zhao Guihua: "You can't say I'm lucky. I went out to the toilet and ran into an acquaintance who was coming back from the countryside. He gave me a bunch of dried mushrooms. When my daughter-in-law gives birth, I can stew a chicken with them."
Bai Fendou rolled his eyes: "Your daughter-in-law was born too early. Isn't yours too early?"
"What's wrong with getting ready early?"
She looked at Bai Fendou, then at Wang Zhaodi, and said, "What are you doing..."
Bai Fendou's face looked a little grim, but he still said, "I'm going to the park, and it's on the same way as her. So we can go together and come back together."
Wang Zhaodi nodded slightly.
Bai Fendou: "Aunt Zhao, we are from the same courtyard, and you have watched me grow up, right? Both of your sons are married, why don't you introduce one to me? This is really too mean. I am not young anymore, and it is time for me to get married and start a family. Besides, look at my condition, my buddy is so good, I can find anyone I want."
Zhao Guihua heard him bragging about himself and thought that this kid was really hopeless.
She sneered and said, "I dare not introduce you. You have high standards. We can't introduce you. Otherwise, you will be blamed."
She took a few quick steps and shook off Bai Fendou.
Bai Fendou: "Hey?"
I wanted to say a few more words, why did Aunt Zhao leave?
Isn't Zhao Guihua going to leave? Who wants to walk slowly and smell the stench? After all, it's not like Bai Fendou, who can only take small steps for fear of getting hurt. However, Bai Fendou has been injured for more than a week, so it stands to reason that he should be getting better.
Why do we still go this way?
It's true that Bai Fendou can walk like a normal person now. But because his leg was broken, he didn't dare to walk with big strides. Whenever he went out, he would take small steps. After a while, he got used to it. Besides, the doctor said that he had to get better completely.
It doesn't matter if other things are in vain, but this matter is really not allowed. It is related to his future happiness. He really doesn't dare to do it. So he is still very careful, but thinking about being laughed at when he went to the park today, he is not in a good mood.
He looked at Wang Zhaodi beside him and said, "Don't tell anyone about my affairs."
Wang Zhaodi let out a soft "oh".
She also went to the park with him today. Originally, she was very conflicted. Although she wanted to go, she gave up because she was also living under someone else's roof. But when she told Jiang Lu about it in the morning, for some reason, Jiang Lu actually agreed with her going. Not only did he agree with her going, he also gave her two cents.
Not only that, she also went to Bai's house and told Bai Fendou to help take care of her. Wang Zhaodi followed Bai Fendou out of the house in a daze. This was her first time going out since she came to the city of Sijiu. She felt that everything was new.
They didn't take the bus. Bai Fendou was injured and hadn't recovered yet, so they didn't ride a bicycle. They just walked there. Their legs were numb from walking all the way, and they finally got to the park. Tao Yuye was also very enthusiastic towards Wang Zhaodi.
She also adopted a child, who disliked her. Wang Zhaodi was already very inferior, so she spoke even less.
But even so, she really learned a lot that day. They actually "ran into" several gay men in the park. These five or six gay men, plus Bai Fendou, several of them rushed to show off in front of Tao Yuye.
She actually benefited from it as well.
She drank Arctic Ocean for the first time.
It was the first time I ate out.
I also visited the park and rowed a boat for the first time.
All of these are free! Thinking about it now, she still feels shocked, as if everyone wants to please Tao Yuye, and then these men slander each other.
For example, someone said that Bai Fendou was a shameless and stinky hooligan.
There is also a fake man who said Bai Fendou was a broken-egged man.
besides……
These people were fighting for performance, slandering each other, and almost got into a fight, but fortunately Tao Yuye stopped them. She had meat buns with Tao Yuye for lunch, and she didn't dare to eat it at first, but Tao Yuye insisted.
It was her first time to eat meat buns and also her first time to eat fried liver. They were so delicious.
She didn't know how much she had spent, and wanted to give back the two cents Jiang Lu had given her. But Tao Yuye refused. Tao Yuye said to her, "Men should be allowed to spend money. To pursue a lesbian, you have to pay. If you don't even want to buy a meat bun, how can you be a wife if you are so stingy?"
However, Tao Yuye didn't like these men either.
Wang Zhaodi was shocked and was a little dazed when she came back.
She followed Bai Fendou into the yard, and Bai Fendou reminded her again: "Don't tell anyone about what happened outside today."
He has said this once and reminded me again. It seems that he is really worried.
Wang Zhaodi nodded softly.
Bai Fendou went there happily, but returned disappointed. He was scolded by several masters and almost got into a fight. This was not decent for him. Wang Zhaodi didn't understand, but she didn't want to understand. When she came back and saw that Jiang Lu and the others hadn't come back, she sat quietly while everyone started to paste matchboxes.
It has to be said that what happened today gave Wang Zhaodi a great shock. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhuang Jia, on the other hand, was very happy today. Mingmei's job was changed, and Zhuang Zhixi was happy. She herself was still quite emotional. She sighed, "I never thought that I would change jobs and stop being a ticket seller."
Because of the shortage of three dollars, her income was less than forty dollars, just a little bit short, just a little bit short.
Mingmei sighed, Zhuang Zhixi: "You earn a lot."
He said: "There are gains and losses, and you don't have to be so tired all day long."
Mingmei gently put her arms around Zhuang Zhixi's neck, and Zhuang Zhixi could smell a fresh scent, which was the scent of the soap Mingmei used. He lowered his head and sniffed, and it was the scent of shampoo. He put his arms around her and whispered, "I miss you."
Those who understand will understand what I mean by missing you.
Mingmei raised her eyes, her eyes were watery, and she said coquettishly: "No."
She said coquettishly: "Just bear with it for a while, you know it won't work."
The doctor has said that it is not allowed in the early stage, but it is really possible to wait until the later stage when it is stable. Zhuang Zhixi knew this, but it did not stop him from whispering, "But I really want to."
Mingmei laughed softly, her face flushed a little, and she "kindly" reminded: "Then take a cold shower."
"ungrateful."
Zhuang Zhixi "reprimanded" in a low voice, but Mingmei didn't care. Instead, she smiled very crisply. As soon as she raised her head, she kissed him on the face and said coquettishly: "Am I still heartless now?"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed softly and said, "If there were a little more, I would have a conscience."
Mingmei asked innocently, "But if it's a little more, won't it make you feel worse?"
She leaned her entire body weight on Zhuang Zhixi and said, "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."
Zhuang Zhixi thought, you don't want me to feel uncomfortable but you are still so close to me, you are such a bad girl. His hand slid on her back and said, "How about you think of a way?"
Men! When they hang out together, they always talk about random things. Zhuang Zhixi has heard a lot of them. He himself doesn't talk about such topics, but he still has to listen. There is no harm in "learning" more.
So he still knew that if this didn't work, he could do that.
I haven't tried it, but it's said to be possible.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Or, can I teach you?"
Mingmei took the opportunity to pinch Zhuang Zhixi's face and asked, "Where did you learn this?"
He became fierce.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Why did he suddenly change his face?
He was so innocent. He said, "Where else can I learn it? I just heard it from others."
Mingmei chuckled and said, "Don't learn these nonsense."
Zhuang Zhixi: "...You are making it too difficult for me. Ouch, ouch, pinch me a little more gently, is that not enough? I won't learn anything in the future. If they discuss such things, I will stay away from them."
Mingmei snorted softly, and Zhuang Zhixi laughed softly and said, "Wife, I'm wrong, isn't that okay?"
Actually, it is true, but pregnant women's emotions are always up and down, and it is his responsibility as a husband to make her happy. He said: "Whatever you say is what it is, I was wrong."
Mingmei raised an eyebrow and glared at him: "You admitted your mistakes quickly, but you're not very sincere."
Mingmei leaned against Zuhang carefully and could naturally feel some of his reactions. Although this man said nice things, his body was still very honest.
Zhuang Zhixi is even more innocent. Who can make him a normal man? There is nothing he can do about it. He is young.
Young people are full of energy.
He poked Mingmei's cheek and said, "Don't come near me. Let me take a break."
Mingmei looked at her hesitantly and said, "Are you really in pain?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "What do you think? I'm not a machine in the workshop. I don't have any feelings."
Mingmei stopped teasing him this time. She stood up and said, "Why don't you take a break or take a shower?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "In the evening, there are too many people in the yard now."
Mingmei: "It's up to you then."
As for taking a shower, Zhuang Zhixi really didn't go to the yard, even at night. The yard was full of other people's homes, including other female comrades, and it wasn't his own yard, so he could be casual.
Even someone as unpretentious as Bai Fendou wouldn't take a shower in the yard.
Speaking of Bai Fendou, Bai Fendou was very unhappy today. He thought he was going out on a date with Tao Yuye, but he didn't expect Tao Yuye to also make an appointment with Wang Zhaodi, which made him a little unhappy. He was looking forward to a date with only the two of them, what was the point of three people? But Bai Fendou thought again, maybe Tao Yuye asked Wang Zhaodi out for a purpose. and children always need someone to take care of them. And bringing a child always affects their emotional communication. So maybe for this reason, Tao Yuye made an appointment with Wang Zhaodi.
This is equivalent to having a nanny to help take care of the children.
So Bai Fendou convinced himself and felt that Tao Yuye was really interested in him, otherwise how could she do such a thing. He felt vaguely happy in his heart. It was because he was a charming person. If he were an ordinary person, how could he be favored by a girl like Tao Yuye.
But he never expected that after he arrived, he would soon "coincidentally" run into Xiao Fang from the factory, who also joined them for some unknown reason. Then he ran into Xiao Li, who also followed him. And...
They met five people in total, including him, making six.
Several of them were surrounding Tao Yuye, who was holding the arm of Wang Zhaodi.
Later, they rushed to buy lunch for Tao Yuye, rushed to invite Tao Yuye to go boating, rushed... Because they didn't have much money, he went to the hospital last night and "lent" five dollars to Sister Xiu. He didn't have much money, so he didn't fight much.
Just like this, I was laughed at so hard that I lost face.
He went home, lay on the kang, and sighed softly.
This good girl is sought after by all families, it is indeed true.
These people have such a lack of taste that they only think about spending money to please others. It's so tacky, really so tacky.
Bai Fendou curled his lips, but felt a little bored.
Although he was very confident, he could sense Tao Yuye's alienation towards him. It was fine before, but today, because he was stingy and refused to spend money, it seemed to become very obvious. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he didn't blame Tao Yuye, he blamed those tacky things who only knew how to spend money to please others.
It's so insincere and lacks sincerity to compare with others over such things.
If Tao Yuye doesn't work out, when will he be able to find a partner?
He lay on the kang, feeling extremely depressed. Why was it so difficult to find a partner?
"Struggle, are you home?"
Bai Fendou immediately sat up: "Sister Xiu."
Wang Xiangxiu came over and saw Bai Fendou's face. She knew that he had a very unhappy day. She was happy in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She said, "I want to do some laundry. I wanted to see if you have anything to wash. Sister Xiu will wash it for you."
She just got five dollars from Bai Fen Dou yesterday.
She had to pay for getting money from others, not to mention five dollars, even three or two dollars, but she didn't have to pay for it with Bai Fendou. But she still had to protect this idiot, otherwise she would have no money in the future.
Bai Fendou: "Cheng, Sister Xiu, I know you treat me the best. How come there is such a good woman like you in this world?"
Wang Xiangxiu smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of good woman am I? Even if I am a good woman, I don't have a good life. Look at my family's life, my mother-in-law is still in the hospital. Oh, yes, my mother-in-law will be discharged tomorrow, and your father will be the same."
She asked, "Are you going to pick them up? If you go to pick them up, I won't go. This will delay a whole morning's work and my salary will be deducted. You know the situation at my sister's house..."
Bai Fendou: "Leave it to me."
Wang Xiangxiu: "Okay."
She laughed softly, and said softly, "Come on. Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you."
Bai Fendou: "Okay."
There is no woman in this yard more virtuous than Sister Xiu.
Jiang Lu came back from her mother's house exhausted. She walked to the window and saw what they did. She immediately opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Ah!!!"
Everyone was making matchboxes, and they all looked over: "What's wrong?"
"Jiang Lu, are you okay?"
"Why are you still surprised? You are so startled."
Jiang Lu looked at the window of Bai Fendou's house and cursed, "Bah! Despicable, shameless!"
She shouted: "Bai Fendou is taking off his clothes."
Bai Fendou also said loudly: "What's wrong with taking off clothes? What's it to you? I'm taking off clothes in my house. I haven't said you're shameless enough to look at me."
Jiang Lu was not to be outdone: "It's okay to take off your clothes, but Wang Xiangxiu is still in the room. Can you two not be so shameless? I know you are a single man and a single woman, and you can't wait to get married, but can you please press the glass? We don't want to see such a disgusting scene. Besides, I tell you, if you do this without getting a marriage certificate, I will report you for messing around!"
"You, you, you are talking nonsense. Why am I confused? Sister Xiu and I are innocent. Sister Xiu is going to wash my clothes."
"You are such a bullshit. Even if I have to wash your clothes, so what? Then you can take off your clothes in front of her? How can this make sense? Who are you taking for a fool? Bai Fendou, you are really disgusting."
Bai Fendou: “You!”
Jiang Lu: "What do you mean by you? You are disgusting."
Wang Xiangxiu's eyes were red. "Don't quarrel, we are all neighbors, there is no need to do this. Zhou Qun's wife, you really misunderstood us. It doesn't matter what you say to me, but you can't say struggle. He is a good man, he is helping us sincerely, I just want to thank him, so I washed his clothes, how can it be as harsh as you say? He is a man who is used to changing clothes like this, but he doesn't mean any harm. He treats me like his own sister..."
Jiang Lu didn't buy it. She had always been jealous of Wang Xiangxiu for giving birth to three sons. She looked at Wang Xiangxiu with an unfriendly look, snorted heavily, and said, "Shame on you."
He added: "Adulterous husband and adulterous wife."
However, Jiang Lu was not keen on fighting. After all, Zhou Qun had not come back yet, and Bai Fendou was a very rude person. If she started fighting, she would be at a disadvantage against two people at once.
"Jiang Lu, don't be angry. Some people are of this kind of character. You've been your neighbor for so many years and you don't even know it. Why bother with him? It's just cheap to talk about it." Yang Lixin came out from the backyard after hearing the quarrel and comforted Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu looked at Yang Lixin in surprise.
However, Aunt Wang and Li Fang knew why Yang Lixin said this. After all, Bai Fendou had clearly cheated their family of money. Although the incident had passed, their family was still angry and had always kept it in mind.
But Jiang Lu didn't know that. She was surprised and praised him. She nodded: "You are right."
Bai Fendou poked his head out of the window and called out, "Yang Lixin, what do you have to do here? Why do you have to mind your own business?"
Yang Lixin: "I'm telling the truth. You can do it, so why are you afraid of what others say? Besides, as a grown man, how can you be considered a hero if you bully a woman with your mouth? It's really embarrassing for men."
Jiang Lu glanced at Yang Lixin again and whispered, "Xiao Yang, don't bother with him. He has no manners."
Yang Lixin nodded: "You are right."
"What are you saying? You guys are united. Why don't you like me? You guys are so self-righteous if you dare to challenge me. I tell you, if you say I'm not good enough, then you should say my sister Xiu is even worse. My sister Xiu is such a good woman..."
"Just forget it." Jiang Lu sneered.
Everyone was attacking each other through a window covered with broken glass.
The two contestants are Bai Fendou and Wang Xiangxiu.
On the other side, Jiang Lu and Yang Lixin.
Everyone else, just spectators.
When Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei heard the noise outside, the couple looked at each other, climbed onto the bed immediately, opened the window and leaned on the windowsill to look out, both of them staring at people with their big watery eyes.
Mingmei was lying on the windowsill, her chin resting on the back of her hand, like a little seal, lying on the bed. She said, "It was a really intense quarrel."
Zhuang Zhixi took the same posture as Mingmei. He nodded and said, "New hatred and old grudges."
If you had a quarrel, you may forget the reason for the quarrel tomorrow.
But if you are greedy for money, then you won't be able to get away with it.
So Yang Lixin will now stand on Jiang Lu's side and target Bai Fendou.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Wife, I think that my husband and I are too honest. Look, they are making a fuss about this and that, and it seems that we are not involved. Don't you think we have a low sense of existence?"
Mingmei: “It seems a little bit.”
But she quickly glared at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "What sense of existence do you still want? Stay out of their business. These people will fight over anything if they disagree with each other. I might have to rescue you, and I don't want that to happen."
Zhuang Zhixi: "...I'm not that weak."
Mingmei: "You are not weak, but they are crazy. Don't you know how meaningless fighting in the yard is? You can fall directly into the toilet."
To be honest, Zhuang Zhixi thinks that this is not the case.
He said: "They are obviously here to catch thieves..."
Mingmei: "As for other things, they have fought a lot. Besides, have you forgotten? Bai Fendou still has a special trick. If you are useless, I will divorce you."
Zhuang Zhixi acted aggrieved and said, "You are too cold."
Mingmei: "Humph."
Zhuang Zhixi: "But you know what, no one will dare to provoke Bai Fendou easily in the future. He already has the unique skill of dragon clawing hand. Starting tomorrow, he will have to clean the toilet and remove feces. Who dares to provoke him? He thinks in a linear way. If he gets angry, he will just grab the feces and smear it on people's faces. He can do it."
Mingmei: "..."
Zhuang Zhixi: "And ha, he..."
Mingmei immediately made a big cross with her hands and said, "Please stop talking. What you said is too disgusting. I still need to eat tonight. Besides, can you consider the psychological quality of a pregnant woman like me?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “OK!”
Mingmei: "Tsk!"
The quarrel ended with Zhou Qun coming back. Naturally, Zhou Qun sided with his wife... What the hell, he was fighting for nothing!
He seriously reprimanded Jiang Lu for looking for trouble and then dragged him into the house.
However, after Zhou Qun entered the room, he comforted Jiang Lu and said, "I don't want you to suffer. You know, we have all been in a bad mood recently. How can we be a match for Bai Fendou? He also has Wang Xiangxiu by his side. Wang Xiangxiu is a fitter in the factory, and her hand strength is much greater than yours who works in an office. We will suffer if we fight with them. It is better not to argue with them for the time being. As human beings, we have to know how to use our brains. We don't compete with physical strength. We are different from the rough men like Bai Fendou. We are gentlemen, so we still have to use our brains and outsmart them. Isn't this better than fighting? You have seen in the past six months that fighting is really useless. It is better for us to think of other things."
This is all nonsense, he didn't think about Bai Fendou at all.
Can't bear to.
These were just words of comfort to Jiang Lu, but Jiang Lu took them seriously. She nodded with red eyes, thinking that her man was smart. She whispered, "I'll listen to you."
"That's all."
Jiang Lu looked out the window and saw Yan Lixin looking at her. She nodded at Yang Lixin, and Yang Lixin responded.
The cooperation this time was pretty good.
Jiang Lu looked at Yang Lixin, then lowered her eyes, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked up and wanted to say something to Zhou Qun, but suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She bit her lip and pretended nothing had happened.
She felt that it was not right for Yang Lixin to defend her and speak for her today. Their two families clearly had no intersection. But... thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Yang Lixin had never had any difficulties with their family.
She originally wanted to ask Zhou Qun whether they should join forces with Yang Lixin to deal with Bai Fendou.
But soon, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She wondered if Yang Lixin was helping her because he liked her.
Well, that's also very possible.
And the more you think about it, the more likely it becomes.
He took the initiative to stand up today, and he did it once before.
Well, more than once.
Once, it was raining heavily when I was getting off work, and he gave me his umbrella.
Another time, she fell off her bike, and he helped her up, and offered to ride the bike himself, and they came back together...
besides……
I didn't realize it until I thought about it carefully, but when I did, I found that there are really many such things.
She looked at Zhou Qun again and didn't say anything about it. No man could tolerate this. Since Yang Lixin didn't say it directly, and didn't get close to her, but just protected her silently, then she couldn't say it directly.
A woman's reputation is still very important.
She looked out the window and saw that Yang Lixin had already gone back. So it seemed that this man came out specifically to support her?
She felt more touched.
Let’s look at Li Fang again… Li Fang is average looking, indeed not a good looking woman, and has a very dull personality. Perhaps because Yang Lixin is a live-in son-in-law, Li Fang is the one who makes the decisions in their family.
Jiang Lu felt a little more sympathetic.
Men should never let women control them. This is ridiculous.
At this moment, Li Fang vomited a few times due to nausea. Aunt Sui beside her immediately asked, "Are you okay? You are in a coma now, you should rest for a while."
Li Fang smiled and said, "No need."
Jiang Lu pursed her lips. Li Fang had already given birth to two children. This was her third child. She was really fertile. Yang Lixin was still very capable... She was a little tempted. If, if she agreed to Yang Lixin once, she could take the opportunity to have a child...
Actually, it’s not impossible!
What she fears most is that her child will be like Yang Lixin, in which case, it will be the end of her.
No one really knew about Jiang Lu's excessive imagination. If Yang Lixin knew about this, he would probably collapse speechlessly. He really just wanted to come out and curse Bai Fen Fen for being a useless person.
If he knew what Jiang Lu was thinking, he would be even more confused.
It was true that he had good intentions in lending the umbrella. He rode his bike to send someone off just to try out the feeling of riding a bike. His family didn't have a bike, and what man doesn't love bikes? Yang Lixin himself didn't realize that Jing'er had actually become Jiang Lu's admirer in her heart.
The kind of admirer who gives silently and never makes a public announcement.
Yang Lixin: “…”
I have absolutely no idea, it's just outrageous.
Of course, Yang Lixin didn't know anything at the moment. Jiang Lu's brief idea had just come up, but she decisively shot it down. No matter how much Yang Lixin loved her or how fertile she was, it was inappropriate. If she really gave birth to a child who looked like her neighbor, it would be a big deal.
Especially since Yang Lixin has several sons, it would be even worse if her sons looked like Li Junjun and Li Weiwei.
His family member Zhou Qun is such a smart person, it is impossible for him not to see it.
She sighed deeply and felt that it was too difficult for her.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Lu immediately came back to her senses and said, "I was thinking about our mother and my mother's family."
Her mother insisted that she go to the hospital to check if she was infertile. She couldn't refuse because she was in such a difficult situation. She knew that if she found out that she was fine, her mother would force her to divorce.
She sighed and said, "I don't know what to do about this."
Zhou Qun raised his eyes and said, "I've already asked. The robbery won't implicate our mother. But for practicing feudal superstition, she should be imprisoned for three months."
He didn't want to face such a situation, but there was nothing he could do. His own mother was a fool. Things didn't go smoothly, and he lost a good hand. He originally wanted to use feudal superstition to deal with his brother-in-law.
But his mother messed it up. It seems that his mother is such a fool. If there is something, you can only speak directly and never hint. If you hint, she will mess it up. Zhou Qun didn't say it directly to give himself a layer of insurance to protect himself. Then he could pretend that he didn't know.
But I didn't expect that his mother could be so stupid.
He said: "The official results haven't come out yet, but I've asked a lot of people and this is basically the situation."
Jiang Lu was delighted, but pretended to be upset: "I'm sorry."
It would be best if this old hag was locked up forever.
Not only was this man bad to her, he even plotted against her father. She wished that this old man would stay in there forever and never come out, and die in there.
She said, "Mom just acts too impulsively."
Zhou Qun: “It’s like this now.”
This disrupted his plans and he didn't know when he would have the next chance. It was so annoying.
Zhou Qun: "I'm going to go have a drink with Bai Fendou."
Jiang Lu: “???”
She wondered why Zhou Qun always looked for Bai Fendou recently.
She could understand Zhou Qun's desire to get close to Bai Fendou and then take revenge, but it was precisely because she knew that she felt worried. She sighed and called out, "Zhao Di, cook!"
She used to do all these tasks, but now it's much easier.
Wang Zhaodi hurried into the house, Jiang Lu looked at Wang Zhaodi and asked about her going out today. Wang Zhaodi hesitated for a moment and talked about some of the things she said, but Jiang Lu still saw some of them, showed a meaningful smile, and asked more questions.
She looked at Wang Zhaodi dodging and evading, and suddenly said, "Zhaodi, come to the inner room."
Some things have to be said quietly.
"Can I introduce you to someone? What do you think of Bai Fendou?"
Wang Zhaodi: “!!!”
She was shocked.
Jiang Lu: "Look, your brother Zhou Qun doesn't like you. You're not worthy of him, but you're more than worthy of Bai's struggle. If you go back to the countryside, you'll never live such a good life again. Life in the city is much better than in the countryside, you know that, right?"
Wang Zhaodi: "Ah? I know, but...but..."
The more Jiang Lu thought about it, the more it seemed appropriate. She whispered, "Think about it, this is a good thing. You can marry into the city, and Bai Fendou is a formal worker. Although he is a dung collector, he still makes 25 yuan a month. His father also makes 25 yuan, and the two men make 50 yuan each. There are two rooms at home. You can't get these in the countryside."
Wang Zhaodi: “But…”
She didn't know what to say, but she just felt that it wasn't right.
"Don't worry if he doesn't like it. We can make it a done deal. If he doesn't like it, we can sue him. If he doesn't want to stay in seclusion, he can only marry you. As long as he can marry in, reputation doesn't matter, don't you think?"
Wang Zhaodi was extremely shocked.
She was stimulated by Tao Yuye today, and when Jiang Lu said this right after that, she was so surprised that her hands left afterimages.
"I, I can't..."
Jiang Lu stared at her for a long time, then smiled and said, "Well, think about it. We'll take it slow anyway."
If Wang Zhaodi marries Bai Fendou, then you, Wang Xiangxiu, will still be so arrogant, will you still get so much help? Can you still show off your son? Moreover, the proposal she gave to Wang Zhaodi was not bad for Wang Zhaodi.
Who can she marry if she returns to the countryside?
In order to get the bride price, his family could only marry her to someone even worse. After all, they could send their daughter to the city to have children, which showed that this family had no bottom line. I'm afraid that as long as they could afford the bride price, they would marry even a gambler, an old man, or a widower.
So why not marry better?
Jiang Lu felt that he was not harming anyone, but was doing a good deed every day.
Bai Fendou has many shortcomings, he is a jinx, and he is entangled with a widow, but he is definitely the best person Wang Zhaodi can choose.
"Think about it carefully."
Wang Zhaodi bit her lip: "Yeah."
The two of them were talking in the inner room, their voices were low, they thought no one knew, but they didn't see Mingmei's tangled eyes. It's not that Mingmei has clairvoyance and can hear these things in her own home. It's...
Mingmei's grandfather was preparing to make a rotating wind chime for her unborn baby. When Mingmei heard about it, she naturally came over out of curiosity.
There was only a wall between Lan Sihai's room and the inner room where Jiang Lu and the others were talking. Mingmei was sitting at the door, very close to Jiang Lu's window. As luck would have it, she... heard it.
Mingmei heard it, and Lan Sihai heard it too.
The old man and the young looked at each other. Mingmei scratched her head a little at a loss. She didn't expect to hear such a topic.
This topic is quite explosive.
She didn't expect things to turn out this way.
This Wang Zhaodi was found by the Su family for the Zhou family. Now Jiang Lu wants to push this person to Bai Fendou. If this is true, the Su family will be crazy.
Mingmei continued to scratch her head. Lan Sihai said, "Stop scratching it. What if you get bald?"
Mingmei: “…”
She whispered: "I just don't understand..."
Lan Sihai: “It’s not hard to understand.”
Although he said so, the old man didn't want to say these things at the door. He said, "Don't mind other people's business. Just watch the fun."
Mingmei nodded, that's the truth.
But having said that, she was still very surprised.
Mingmei sat for a while, and was still in a daze when she returned home. Zhao Guihua saw her like this and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mingmei hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help it and immediately hooked her hand. Zhao Guihua: "???"
Why is this daughter-in-law so childish?
But even though he thought so, he took the initiative to move over: "What?"
Mingmei whispered in Zhao Guihua's ear, and Zhao Guihua said, "Fuck!"
The shout of "Fuck!" caused several people in the family to look at Zhao Guihua. Zhuang Zhixi felt wronged: "You whispered to mom and didn't tell me."
Mingmei: “…”
At this time, don't be jealous.
This is your biological mother!
