That day, after dinner, Old Lady Yin came to talk to Old Lady Xia and brought good news about her son Yin Sheng.
At this time, Jiang Wenhua moved a bamboo lounge chair into the courtyard and chatted with Old Lady Xia and Zheng Qianlan. The atmosphere was peaceful.
Old Lady Yin took the chair from Xia Yu'e and sat next to her: "Sister Yue'e, something big happened in our compound."
Old Lady Xia became interested. "What's the big deal that made you rush over to tell me?"
Old Lady Yin: "Let me first tell you about my family's happy event. My son Ah Sheng has found a girlfriend. She's a good girl. I've seen her from afar. She looks very blessed. I just don't know when you can bring her home so I can see her. I don't dare to disturb her."
Old Lady Xia: "That's really great news. Ah Sheng is going to get married too."
Old Lady Yin smiled and said, "I'll have to ask you to come and help me when the time comes."
Old Lady Xia: "That's for sure. What's our relationship? Do you need to tell me?"
After Mrs. Yin continued on this topic for a few more words, she approached her mysteriously and said, "You know Xiao Hu's wife Bai Yun, right?"
Old Lady Xia: "Yes, she's quite a fierce person, but she's very good to children. Her belly is quite big, right?"
Old Lady Yin leaned close to her ear and said, "It's more than just a big one. Last month, she divorced Xiao Hu and left with another man. Now people all over the compound are saying that Xiao Hu was cheated on. I wanted to tell you earlier, but things weren't going smoothly here at the time, so I didn't feel comfortable disturbing you."
Old Lady Xia's eyes widened: "Is he really cheated on?"
Old Lady Yin: "I don't know, but Xiao Hu seemed to be in a good mood when he saw that woman leave with someone else. Didn't he tell me before that there was a hidden reason for his marriage to that woman?"
Old Lady Xia: "Then why?"
Old Lady Yin: "Anyway, his mother is going crazy. She took care of him for so many months. She saw her belly getting bigger and bigger, and her grandson was getting closer and closer to her. Now, everything is gone. She has been crying every day these days."
Old Lady Xia: "That's what she deserves. She hurt Yingying so badly."
Old Lady Yin: "Yingying has gotten much better recently. Xiao Hu took her to see many doctors, and she took a lot of medicine and suffered a lot, but fortunately she is getting better slowly."
Mrs. Xia: "That's great."
Old Lady Yin: "A few days ago, Xiao Hu brought back another woman and got married."
Old Mrs. Xia was confused: "Huh? We just divorced not long ago, where did another woman come from?"
Old Lady Yin: "That woman is so skinny, dark and thin. She looks like she's been through a lot. On the first day she came, she started fighting with Xiao Hu's mother."
Mrs. Xia: "Really?"
Old Lady Yin nodded. "It was a brutal fight. It took a lot of effort for the people in the compound to break it up."
Old Lady Xia: "How did the fight start?"
Old Lady Yin: "It was simply that the old lady had a bad mouth and insisted on scolding people. The woman was also very angry, and Xiao Hu was nearby and didn't care, so a fight broke out."
Old Lady Xia thought for a moment and asked quietly, "Could that woman have a hidden secret like Bai Yun?"
Old Mrs. Yin gave her a look that showed she understood, and Old Mrs. Xia immediately understood.
After they drank some water, Mrs. Yin hesitated again, wanting to say something but not daring to. Seeing this, Mrs. Xia felt itchy and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it directly."
Old Lady Yin: "I told you, don't think too much."
Old Lady Xia: "Okay, what else can I think about?"
Old Lady Yin: "Old Chen seems to have fallen in love with a widow."
Old Mrs. Xia: “Oh?”
Old Lady Yin: "I don't know what has happened to Old Chen lately. He said he wants to find a partner again. He said it's not decent to have no mistress at home and people will look down on him. There are quite a few matchmakers who have introduced him to someone, but it's only been half a year and there hasn't been any match yet."
Old Lady Xia: "I'm open-minded, why are you so upset about me? I'm divorced from him and I'm living a comfortable life. What he wants is none of my business."
Old Lady Yin: "I heard that the widow is not simple, and she has three sons. If Old Chen is coaxed into losing his way, what will happen to your children?"
Old Lady Xia: "The eldest has separated from the family and is living his own life. The second is smart. Although the third was silly before, he seems to have some ability now. I am not too worried. It's just that Xiang Hong, I am a little worried that she will suffer. But she is getting married soon, so it's not a big deal."
Old Lady Yin: "You seem to have let it go now, so I feel relieved. He brought the widow home tonight. When I left, only your Xiangbei was yelling at home. As soon as I left the compound, your second son hurried over. However, since your second son is here, I don't think anything will happen."
Mrs. Xia: "The child is grown up now. He knows to run away when he is beaten and to eat and drink when he is hungry. I am not worried."
Old Lady Yin glanced at the melon seed shells in Old Lady Xia's hand and said, "You're so stubborn! Are you really not worried about throwing away the melon seeds and putting the shells in your mouth?"
Only then did Old Mrs. Xia realize that she did seem a little uneasy, but even so, she had no reason to stop Old Chen from marrying someone else.
"If they are wronged and need my help, they will definitely come to me. Let's see if they can solve it themselves first." Old Mrs. Xia poured herself another glass of water.
On the other side, Old Chen was so angry at the damn kid Chen Xiangbei that he chased him around with a stick and beat him.
The widow he brought back was named Yang Su. She was standing nearby, full of worry: "Old Chen, don't hurt the child, and don't hurt yourself. Put down the stick quickly. The child is still young."
