Later, many relatives came one after another. Xiao Fuxin's family had made a name for themselves in the outside world, and everyone was complimenting them. Then, grandma's loud voice came.
"I knew that what the fortune teller said was right. Look how long the three Xiao Chen brothers have been in Jing City. Jing City is the capital. It takes a lot of talent to gain a foothold there."
An old lady nearby showed an envious expression: "Hey, my son is not that successful, he is still running around in the county town and can't make much money."
Grandma Xiao pretended to be modest and waved her hands: "That's all. Hey, you just like to spend money recklessly. You have to build such a big house. Isn't it a waste for two old guys like us to live in it?"
"Grandma, how can this be considered a waste?" Xiao Fuxin walked over and said.
Grandma Xiao pulled Xiao Fuxin over and patted her hands affectionately, saying that Xiao Fuxin was the lucky star of our family.
Xiao Niannian had just finished helping to wash the vegetables.
An auntie in a red cotton-padded jacket saw Xiao Niannian and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Oh, isn't this Xiao Guozhong's daughter? She's grown up so much, and she's so beautiful. Poor child, it's a pity that her father passed away so early."
Xiao Niannian glanced at the auntie. Her surprised and greedy eyes made her feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone calls this person Aunt Kong, and she has been a matchmaker in the village for decades.
"Little girl, how are your grades? Where do you study?"
"Aunt Kong, she was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city. She will be a promising candidate for college in the future. Please don't act as a matchmaker for her." Someone saw through Aunt Kong's ulterior motive and exposed it directly.
Aunt Kong smiled awkwardly: "Aunt, I'm just asking." She said stubbornly, "What's the point of a girl reading so many books? She still has to get married in the end. Remember that bastard? He's doing well outside now. Didn't he drive a car over here? He just wanted a clean and pretty girl. I'm not trying to find a husband for her. She has no parents, so it's good enough that someone wants her. It's not right for her to always need you to support her."
Aunt Kong does not have a very good reputation. In the past, there was a poor family in the village with several children in school. After Aunt Kong's lobbying, her daughter who was in high school actually got engaged to a boy who was more than ten years older than her. The family also secretly accepted the betrothal gift. The girl ran away from the marriage overnight, gave up her studies, worked outside, and refused to come back for several years.
Aunt Kong also saw that Xiao Niannian was dressed simply, which was very different from Xiao Fuxin's bright and beautiful appearance. She thought that her family didn't look down on this niece much. She had no father or parents, and Grandma Xiao was well-known for favoring boys over girls, so she couldn't help but look down on her.
Xiao Niannian grabbed the mud on the ground and threw it over. With a splash, a handful of mud was stuck on Aunt Kong's face.
"Old witch, wash your mouth, it stinks." Xiao Niannian didn't care about what happened in public.
"Bah, bah, bah! You dead girl." Aunt Kong hurriedly spat out the dirt in her mouth and was about to reach out to grab Xiao Niannian's hand. Xiao Niannian kicked the chair under her feet away, and Aunt Kong sat on the ground. Xiao Niannian quickly slipped away.
The fruit plate on the table also fell to the ground.
Grandma Xiao also restrained her lips. Although she liked Xiao Fuxin, she would never say that she wanted to marry Nian Nian off, especially since Aunt Kong could find someone else. But when she saw Xiao Niannian like this, she felt embarrassed and said directly: "Niannian, what did you do? You are so uneducated. How could you hit someone? Apologize to Aunt Kong."
Xiao Niannian didn't care about that and said directly: "If you want to apologize, then apologize. She's spewing shit from her mouth."
Seeing Aunt Kong sitting on the ground and groaning, Xiao Niannian said, "You deserved it" and left.
She ran to the back of the house. In front of her was a wide river with lotus leaves growing on the surface. After crossing the river, it was only a few kilometers away from the county town. If she walked on the ground, she would have to take a long detour.
She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her mother would pull the boat to take her to the other side to play.
She took out her cell phone, which was an old-fashioned phone she bought in the store. There was only one contact in it, and that was Tu Yufan.
"Humph, I met a big fool today. I'm in a bad mood."
