Chapter 7 Divorce
It rained in Xiaoshi Village for several days afterwards.
It was impossible to do any work outdoors when it rained, and everyone was bored and stayed at home.
Lu Xing discovered that the three hens his family bought at the beginning of the year were cheated and a rooster was mixed in.
The rooster grew bigger and bigger, and the comb on its head became brighter and brighter.
Not many people in the countryside raise roosters because roosters love to crow and fight, they eat a lot but don’t lay eggs, and their meat is not as tasty as that of hens.
Because the price-performance ratio is so low, basically only people who plan to hatch chicks to sell will raise them.
Looking at her rooster that was growing bigger and bigger, ready to crow at any time, she might have taken it to the city to sell it for money.
After being reborn, Lu Xing decided to stew the tender little rooster and eat it himself.
The meat of underage roosters is very tender. Just stir-fry it and it will be very fresh and juicy.
At lunch time, Lu Xing read the gossip compiled by the system and ate freshly fried rooster, which was very delicious.
After lunch and a nap, I woke up and the rain outside seemed to have subsided a little.
The bored old sisters gathered again at the village entrance.
They were still talking about Mrs. Lu's family.
Although they had a big fight the day Lu He came back, just as Lu Xing had guessed, there had been no activity next door in the past few days.
The person who was best informed was Liu Hehua, because she knew people from Xiuhe's hometown. "I heard someone from Xiuhe's hometown came."
"When did you come? I didn't see any movement?" Ever since Huang Liye discovered the fun of eating melons, she would hang around Mrs. Lu's house whenever she had time to find out what was going on.
"You're not afraid of being embarrassed, are you coming here in the dark?"
The person providing the snacks for chatting today is Hong Xiahua, Lu Yuan’s mother. The red-skinned peanuts grown by her family are especially fragrant when fried with a little salt.
It is perfect to have some fragrant fried peanuts while chatting about gossip.
"It seems her family doesn't plan to divorce anymore?"
The aunts were not surprised by this situation. "How can they get a divorce? We spent so much money on the betrothal gifts and wedding banquets, and now the youngest son wants to get married. What will happen to the youngest son if the eldest daughter-in-law divorces her? And don't forget that the daughter-in-law is pregnant with another child."
"Speaking of which, whose child is in Xiuhe's belly?"
"Looking at the month, it seems like she got pregnant around the time Lu He came back, but—"
Experienced aunts can only determine the approximate month, and the rest is only known by the person involved.
At this time, Lian Hua came over from a distance in a hurry, "Something big has happened, something big has happened."
She just went to Lu Xing's house to look for someone, but she didn't find him. Instead, she heard a big news.
"The Luhe couple are really getting divorced."
"What? Lu He wants to leave?"
The aunts who were just discussing not getting a divorce all looked incredulous, "Judi agreed?"
"She didn't agree, but Xiuhe's mother came and her family said they wanted a divorce."
"It's really strange. Isn't her daughter-in-law very powerful? Would she agree to let her sister-in-law go back? What about the child?"
Xiuhe's sister-in-law is very powerful. After she got married, not only her brother, but even the two old people had to live according to her sister-in-law's mood.
Whenever I send gifts to my sister-in-law during festivals, I always consider her mood, for fear that I will get scolded if I give her too much.
It was strange that she suddenly agreed to divorce her sister-in-law and could tolerate her living and eating for free at home.
Lianhua looked mysterious and said, "I heard that there's a factory in the south run by a small boss that's hiring workers. Her sister-in-law wants to take Xiuhe with her. She said if she does a good job, she can make 80 yuan a month."
"Eighty?! Is that a lie?" Hong Xiahua thought about her son's salary. It was only more than three hundred yuan a month, but it was a stable job.
Lian Hua: "I heard it's also run by a relative, it doesn't look fake."
"If there really is so much money, can we do it?" Huang Liye's two daughters were married well, but they couldn't earn so much money in a month. If there really was such a good thing, she wondered if she could take her daughters with her to do it.
"Yeah, if they can really earn that much, I wonder if my niece can go. She has been very nimble since she was a child."
When it comes to making money, everyone abandons the previous topic.
"Aren't we discussing whether to get a divorce or not? I didn't listen carefully to anything else." It was the first time that so many people were paying attention to her, and Lian Hua even stuttered a little when she spoke.
"Hey, we can talk about this anytime. First, tell me what's going on at the factory."
"That's right, tell us what else you heard."
Lu Xing had never heard of this in her previous life, but she was different from others. When she was undecided, she could ask the system.
The system did not disappoint her expectations.
[I found it. What Grandma Lian said is true. A few people from Xiuhe's hometown were among the first to go, and they've returned with a lot of money.]
[Other people in the village became jealous after seeing this and wanted to follow.]
[Xiu He just happened to be in this situation, and her sister-in-law thought that since the two of them earn a lot, they could take care of each other. Besides, after Xiu He's divorce, she will definitely give a portion of her earnings to her parents.]
Her sister-in-law thought her parents' property was her own, so she actively instigated the divorce.
She couldn't quite understand the direction of this family's story, and it seemed to be getting more and more confusing.
She had finished discussing it with the system, but Lian Hua still hadn't thought about the factory recruiting workers.
Seeing that she really didn't remember anything, the others stopped asking and turned to talk about other topics.
We ate peanuts and chatted until almost evening.
The rain stopped and those who had something to do went home first.
Compared with others, Lu Xing's pace was much more relaxed and leisurely, and he even had time to look at the vegetables grown in other people's fields.
[Host, why do I feel like everyone else is very busy, but you don't seem to have anything to do.]
"Of course they are busy. With so many people in the family, they have to weed the fields and loosen the soil. At home, they have to do laundry, cook, and take care of the children. Even the little ones have to go to the back hills to collect firewood when they have free time to ease the burden on the family."
"I'm a lone wolf. I have enough food to eat from my small vegetable garden. I also have a little money. What else can I do?"
Knowing that he would soon have enough money, Lu Xing was not in a hurry to make a living.
The system, which has no idea how much a person spends on food and drink, was successfully fooled by the host.
False poverty: living off one's savings and waiting for a windfall.
Really having no money: choosing to knock on Mrs. Lu’s door in the middle of the night.
Old Mrs. Lu was woken up in the middle of the night. She opened the door and saw a woman covering her face. She was almost scared to death.
"Which ghost?"
"It's me." Huang Liye took off the cloth covering her face.
"What are you doing here? Coming to my house in the middle of the night to watch the fun?" When Old Mrs. Lu saw her, her face fell.
Huang Liye can be said to have contributed greatly to the recent chaos in her family.
She didn't know that she was the one who told everyone about Lu Yu's two affairs. If she knew, he probably wouldn't even open the door for her.
"I came to ask your Xiuhe something."
"Are you crazy? You can't ask during the day, but you come here in the middle of the night to scare people. Are you here to ask for help or to kill someone?"
"Isn't it too late to come during the day?" When it comes to making money, the sooner the better. Huang Liye shamelessly walked past Old Lady Lu and called Xiuhe's name into the yard.
Xiu He was also asleep in the room. Too many things had happened in the past few days. She came out with a haggard face, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Didn't your sister-in-law come over during the day? What's that part-time job she was talking about? Can you tell me if my two daughters can go?"
Mrs. Lu, who had been annoyed by Xiuhe's family members clamoring for a divorce during the day, became furious when she heard about the job search. "What do you want to do? Are you trying to trick Xiuhe into going with you?"
"No, I asked Xiuhe why you were so anxious. If you were so afraid that she would run away, why didn't you treat her better in the first place?"
The two of them started arguing without saying a word. It was clearly a quiet night, but they managed to make it feel a bit more lively than the daytime.
The two brothers Lu He and Lu Yu also woke up. They stood tall behind Old Lady Lu, and Huang Liye's aura unconsciously weakened a little.
"My nephew is awake now. I just came to ask him a few questions and then leave."
She was so shameless that she stood at the door, and the two brothers couldn't push her away.
The only thing I could do was to let Xiuhe finish her story quickly and get rid of her.
Next door, Lu Xing, who got up at night and was lucky enough to hear the whole thing, looked at the wall of his house and began to think about whether to put up a ladder.
Just listening to the sound doesn't seem vivid enough, it would be better if it were accompanied by pictures.
Could it be that she didn’t get to eat the melon before because she didn’t get up often enough at night?
And the system's exploration progress bar has inexplicably risen again. Is it not enough to rely on the system's retelling? Does she have to experience it personally?
【Author has something to say】
Lianhua: Are they going to divorce or not?
Huang Liye: I’m anxious about whether making money is real or not.
Lu Xing: The element of eating melons is noticed.
Summary: Everyone is busy hahahaha
