The aunt told Li Qiumei that Hong Ling has now planted all the vegetables in the garden.
I grow and sell vegetables every day, and Qian Jinshu cooks at home. Life is pretty easy.
When Li Qiumei came out of her aunt's house, she happened to see Hong Ling coming back carrying a dung bucket.
Hong Ling did not recognize Li Qiumei, she just greeted her aunt and walked away.
Li Qiumei heard Qian Jinshu open the door and say, "Hong Ling, just put the dung bucket on the ground. No one will steal it."
Hong Ling's voice said, "After dinner, we still have to carry two loads of manure to water the vegetables."
The sound of the door closing.
It seems that both of them have changed a lot. Qian Jinshu is no longer domineering, and Hong Ling is no longer timid.
"Aunt, please go in. You don't have to see me off."
The aunt patted Li Qiumei's hand and said, "Okay, Qiumei, come to our house and visit us when you have time."
When she reached the entrance of the alley, Li Qiumei was stopped by Ma Dazui and others who were sitting at the door of a store.
She thought Ma Dazui and the others were not at home, but who knew they had gone to another place to gossip.
"Qiumei, did you see Hong Ling just now?"
Li Qiumei nodded, "I saw it."
Ma Zipo gave half of the melon seeds in her hand to Li Qiumei, "Do you think Hong Ling has been cursed? Judging from the way Qian Jinshu is now, people say he is her father when he goes out.
There are so many young men on this street, why did she choose to marry Qian Jinshu when she could marry anyone else?
The black woman spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "You know shit. Qian Jinshu is her first man. She will definitely be thinking about him for the rest of her life."
Li Qiumei burst out laughing. This black woman really dared to say that.
Ma Dazui kicked the black woman and said, "You old woman, you dare to say anything.
I heard that Hong Ling and Qian Jinshu haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet, so there's a high probability that their marriage won't last long."
Judging from the tone of Ma Dazui's voice, is there something else hidden?
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ma Dazui stopped eating melon seeds and said, "Qiumei, let me tell you, Qian Jinshu is addicted to alcohol.
He used to be a man who cared so much about his reputation, but now, just to get a sip of wine, he would shamelessly go to drink for free at any dinner party on West Street, no matter if it was a big event or a small event.
After he finished drinking, his host sent him back. He was lying alone in the house. Everyone in his family was afraid that something might happen to him and they would blackmail him.
During that period, no matter who invited people to dinner on West Street, they would do it quietly or go directly to a restaurant, for fear that Qian Jinshu would follow them again.
Later, it was your uncle who spoke up and no one was allowed to ask for money to buy books or drink alcohol.
Otherwise, if something went wrong, he would get to the bottom of it, so he just let it go.
From then on, Qian Jinshu drank alone at home, and when he was drunk he would sit in the yard crying and cursing.
I thought, given Qian Jinshu's current condition, it would be great if Hong Ling was willing to come back.
The person who doesn’t want to get a marriage certificate must be Hong Ling.
Without a marriage certificate, Hong Ling can just walk away at any time."
As he was speaking, Sister Wang came back from outside carrying a basket on her back.
"Sister, where have you been?"
“Qiumei, I’m going to Hongmei’s house.
Please wait for me, I will be out soon."
Sister Wang strode back with a basket on her back. In the blink of an eye, she came out with a bag of peanuts.
The shop owner kindly handed a newspaper to Sister Wang and spread the newspaper on the steps. Sister Wang sat next to Li Qiumei.
After distributing the peanuts to everyone, Ma Zipo summarized what she had just said to Sister Wang.
Sister Wang sighed, "Alas, if you ask me, the person who's really worried about Qian Jinshu's drinking is your uncle.
I saw him go in every day and bring the money and books into the house.
At first, we couldn’t hold the baby, so we had to call your aunt for help. Our old man also went to hold the baby a few times.
Later, he was so angry that he dragged you in.
Not only was he dragged into the house, he also had to sleep on the sofa while waiting for Qian to read and sober up.
He is a retired old man in his seventies and doesn't have to worry about family matters. Unexpectedly, his eldest nephew Qian Jinshu is the one who makes him worry so much.
Because of this matter, Qian Jinmin even beat Qian Jinshu up.
But it's no use, Qian Jinshu still drinks as usual, and your uncle is determined to stay there.
Hong Ling is back, and the happiest people are your aunt and her family, because your uncle has finally gotten rid of her.
I heard from Jinmin's wife that Wanwan asked the old couple to go to the city in a few days to help her pick up and drop off the children."
No wonder the aunt kept praising Qian Lei for his good idea of letting Hong Ling come back.
It turns out that paying for books has become a hot potato, dragging down everyone.
Ma Zipo shook her head when she heard this, "Alas, Qian Xiaolai and Chen Cuizhen are gone just like that.
No one would have thought that Qian Jinshu would be even worse than Qian Jinsheng."
The black woman laughed, "Why do you say Qian Jinshu is not as good as his brothers?
If you ask me, Qian Jinshu is much more capable than his brothers.
Since he was a child, the old couple Chen Cuizhen have always favored him and have been helping him over the years. He has never suffered any hardship.
After the old couple died, Hong Ling came back to continue taking care of him. That's what you call ability.
Is that something Qian Jinsheng can compare to?"
While she was gossiping, Li Qiuxiang called and urged her to go back for dinner.
When Li Qiumei passed by Hu's Noodle House, she happened to see Hu Baoer fighting with a woman.
Hu Baoer has graduated from junior high school, but failed to get into high school, so he went to a technical secondary school in the prefecture or city.
It's not a holiday or a weekend, why is she at home?
Hu Baoer grabbed the woman's hair, slapped her and scolded her, "Bitch, who do you think you are to bully my grandma?
You stole our money, give it back and get out of our house!"
The woman was not to be outdone. She grabbed Hu Baoer's ponytail and pulled her to the ground.
"Little bitch, you control everything and you want to control me?"
Pa pa pa, Hu Baoer was also slapped several times by the woman.
The old couple from the Hu family rushed out of the store, grabbed the woman's hair and pulled her aside.
"Bitch, you stole our money and beat our Baoer, get out of here!" Hu Fenglin's father shouted.
Hu Baoer got up from the ground and punched and kicked the woman. Li Qiumei was shocked by his ferocious look.
There were people gathered around, but no one tried to stop it. Instead, they were talking about it.
"I've noticed that this woman has been following Hu Fenglin for a while now. It seems like the old couple in the Hu family don't like her."
"Oh, didn't you hear? The old couple said this woman was stealing money.
Hu Fenglin spends his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Who would want to marry him?
The women he brought home were all just like him."
"Alas, why do I feel that Hu Baoer is not a good person either?"
Li Qiumei also agreed with this.
Just as she was watching with great interest, someone patted Li Qiumei on the shoulder.
