Chapter 225 Liang Qiaoli
had a fight with someone Song Baoer came over and said hello to Shen Jiale and the others, then went in to find Sister Lan.
Seeing Liang Qiaoli was angry, she thought something unpleasant had happened at home, and looked at Sister Lan with a worried look on her face.
Sister Lan let her in, and then closed the courtyard door.
Liang Qiaoli said angrily: "This old woman is too talkative. I didn't take anything from her family, but she is so lenient!"
Liang Qiaoli decided not to chat with Mrs. Hou in the future.
When Shen Jiale came back from eating at her mother's house, he brought back a lot of watermelons.
Mrs. Hou stood at the door and smiled, saying, "You are not bad. You send gifts to your parents' home and don't forget to buy something for your husband's home. Unlike my eldest daughter-in-law, she only knows how to give to her parents' home and doesn't know how to respect me at all."
Lu Mingfeng got out of the car and said, "This is the watermelon that my eldest brother-in-law gave us."
"Oh! That's it. Your eldest brother-in-law is really generous. He gives gifts in return."
Lu Mingfeng walked into the house with the watermelon in his arms and ignored her.
Mrs. Hou thought Shen Jiale would be polite and ask her to come over to eat watermelon.
However, Shen Jiale led the children and just nodded to her and went into the house.
...
After dinner, Liang Qiaoli came out to digest her food and chatted with other neighbors.
Seeing Liang Qiaoli ignoring her, Mrs. Hou came over with an apologetic smile and said, "Qiaoli, I wrongly blamed your daughter-in-law before. I apologize to you. Your in-laws are really nice. Your brother-in-law even sent you watermelons."
Even though they had admitted their mistakes, Mrs. Hou still praised Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng.
No mother can remain indifferent when others praise her children.
Liang Qiaoli felt happy when she was praised, so she didn't care about Mrs. Hou's previous behavior and just thought that she was quick-witted and spoke without thinking.
During the meal, Sister Lan said casually that people like Mrs. Hou were not worth making friends with.
Liang Qiaoli said, "I don't have much friendship with her. We are neighbors. We just talk a few words when we meet."
Sister Lan said, "Since we are not friends, why waste time on her? She won't help you and may even cause you trouble."
Liang Qiaoli thought Sister Lan was exaggerating: "It's not a waste of time. I'm not as busy as Jiale and Mingfeng. Time is not worth it.
Neighbors don't necessarily help you. After we get to know each other, we can help each other when there is something going on."
Sister Lan worked for the Shen family and was exposed to the affairs of the wealthy families. She knew that some things could only be said in passing.
Liang Qiaoli had her own ideas, so Sister Lan didn't say much.
...
Lu Mingfeng has been busy again recently and can't pick up Shen Jiale every day.
Because he had to collect the day's sales from the store, Lu Mingfeng was worried that she was not safe with so much money, so he asked the Wei brothers to send her home.
A few times later, Shen Jiale returned home and found that the neighbors looked at her with something strange in their eyes.
They were talking, but they stopped when they saw her coming. After she left, everyone started whispering again. She
came back and asked Liang Qiaoli if there was anything special happening around them recently that was related to her.
Liang Qiaoli said, "Nothing, everything is normal."
Sometimes adults will avoid adults when talking, but they will not deliberately avoid children, and they will even ask children questions.
When Lu Changjun came back and said that Grandma Hou next door asked him how many fathers he had, Shen Jiale frowned.
Liang Qiaoli said, "Whose family can have two fathers?"
Lu Changjie said, "I said I only have one father, but Grandma Hou said I have many fathers, and said that our family's money is made by those fathers."
Sister Lan said angrily, "Miss, I will call my husband and ask the best lawyer to come and make her pay for her behavior."
Liang Qiaoli said loudly, "What lawyer do you need? If she dares to spread rumors, I dare to tear her mouth!"
With that, Liang Qiaoli rolled up her sleeves and rushed out.
Shen Jiale and Sister Lan hurried to catch up.
Liang Qiaoli rushed to the Hou family, pointed at the old lady Hou and asked, "Are you asking my grandson how many fathers he has?"
The old lady Hou looked a little embarrassed, and she teased the Lu family's child casually. Why did the child go back and say it?
Seeing Liang Qiaoli's momentum, she smiled and said, "We are neighbors. I was just joking. Why do you take it so seriously?"
Liang Qiaoli grabbed the collar of Mrs. Hou and slapped her.
"I'll tell others that your son has ten fathers, okay?"
Mrs. Hou was beaten and wanted to fight back. Liang Qiaoli often did farm work in the countryside and had plenty of strength. An old lady from the city was really no match for her.
Mrs. Hou was grabbed by the hair by Liang Qiaoli and slapped several times in a row, but she still couldn't break free.
While shouting for help, she said, "Your grandson is a child, and my son is an adult. Isn't it like someone is poking my spine when you say this?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't go out today and tell the neighbors that your son has ten fathers, I will beat you every time I see you!" Sister Lan
and Shen Jiale rushed to the door. Shen Jiale wanted to go in, but was stopped by Sister Lan.
"Mrs. Lu didn't suffer any loss. We can just stay outside."
The neighbors heard the noise and came over. Seeing that Mrs. Hou was being beaten by Liang Qiaoli, they hurried over to separate them.
Shen Jiale didn't stop them. He followed them in, walked to Liang Qiaoli and supported her.
Old lady Hou had disheveled hair and her face was covered with scratches. She pointed at Liang Qiaoli and complained to everyone: "This old country woman is crazy! I'm going to call the police!"
Shen Jiale said sternly: "Okay, let's call the police. It's a good opportunity for the Public Security Bureau to investigate. I have not cheated or committed any crime. Why do people always look at me strangely when I come back recently?"
Some people in the crowd realized the seriousness of the matter and were afraid that they would be investigated by the public security comrades. They said: "It was Old Lady Hou who said that you had affairs with different men and that the money earned at home was not clean. We just listened and didn't spread it around."
Everyone felt guilty. The fact that Shen Jiale dared to let the Public Security Bureau investigate this matter showed that those things did not happen at all.
They heard Old Lady Hou talking about Shen Jiale for fun, but seeing the Lu family's attitude, they didn't seem to be willing to give up.
Many people tried to distance themselves from the matter, saying that it was all Old Lady Hou who said it.
Hou Chunwang came back and saw so many people gathered around his house, and his mother was beaten.
Old Lady Hou saw her son coming, and she had a backer, so she pointed at Liang Qiaoli and said to her son: "Chunwang, you avenge your mother, it was this country woman who beat me!"
Just as Hou Chunwang was about to step forward, Sister Lan walked up to him, pushed Hou Chunwang's chest with her hand, and stopped him.
Although she was just an elegant woman, Hou Chunwang couldn't move.
"Mr. Hou, now it's just a small friction between the two old people. If you take action, your nature will change."
As soon as the words fell, everyone heard Lu Mingfeng calling his mother.
"Why are you all here?" Lu Mingfeng came over and asked.
Shen Jiale was about to speak, but Hou Chunwang spoke first: "Boss Lu, the two old ladies had a little conflict, and it's all over now."
Lu Mingfeng glanced and saw that his mother was not seriously injured, so he came over to support her and said: "Go home if you are fine, I'm hungry."
Seeing that her son did not vent her anger, the old lady Hou was so angry that she cursed: "You useless thing, your mother was beaten by someone, and you dare not even fart..."
The Lu family members who were about to leave turned around at the same time, and Hou Chunwang quickly stepped forward and covered his mother's mouth.
"You go back, I will persuade the old lady."
The Lu family left, and there was no more excitement, and the neighbors also left.
After everyone left, Mrs. Hou scolded her son: "Why did I give birth to a useless fool like you? If your brother was here, he would definitely not let me be beaten for nothing."
Hou Chunwang closed the door and said: "Mom, I wanted to help you, but he only used one hand and I couldn't move."
