You Ai sat down steadily, and a cup of hot tea was placed in front of her. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spat out two mouthfuls of tea foam.
So bitter!
She frowned, then relaxed.
She was not used to drinking tea, but she knew that tea was a good thing. Her family would only take it out when entertaining guests, and those guests were distinguished ones.
It can be seen that Aunt Mu's attitude is still correct.
"Aunt You, how about we have a chat?" Aunt Mu sat down at the table with a smile on her face.
She used to be a retired leader in a large company. In the past, she would not have looked at people like You Aicong in the eye. But now it is different. You Aicong keeps asking her to pay compensation, and she is really scared.
A real man can bend and stretch, so she reluctantly put aside her pride and talked to a rough person like Aunt You.
"I heard that your daughter works in a machinery factory?"
...
...
"Yes, it is. Isn't this a broken bone? You need to rest at home for a while!"
You Ai nodded: "I heard from Wang Sha that you are a designer in the technical department? This is profitable!"
"Where can you make money? You're talking about Jiang Xun, right? He's now well-known in the machinery factory. I heard that he has solved two technical problems in less than half a year! He is a talent of the country, people like him make a lot of money. My Yueqin is far behind." Aunt Mu was not being modest, but avoiding risks.
She was afraid that You Ai would blackmail her!
She had seen how annoying this old lady was before! No matter what she said now, she had to be careful not to be fooled!
You Aicong glanced at her and laughed: "Don't be so nervous. I've already told you that you don't have to pay any money. What are you afraid of?"
"Oh, if you really don't want us to pay compensation, then thank God! But please tell me quickly, what exactly do you want us to do to help you?" Aunt Mu asked anxiously.
"Come closer, let's talk in a low voice!"
"What's going on? It's so mysterious..."
The two aunts chatted in whispers for a long time, and Aunt Mu showed an embarrassed expression on her face.
"How about it?"
Aunt Mu waved her hands and refused, "This... this idea is not good! If we continue to make a fuss like this, my daughter's reputation will be completely ruined. No, no, my daughter has a broken bone. We can't do what you said."
"If you can't do it, you can try another method. Anyway, I just want to see the result. This shouldn't be difficult, right?" You Aicong asked.
Aunt Mu hesitated for a long time: "Then let's give it a try! But I have to say this first. We will do it, but if it really doesn't work, you can't take the money. Is that ok with you?"
"No! You have taken all the good things in the world, haven't you?" You Ai crossed her legs and thought for a moment before she said, "If it works, forget about the money! If you try your best but it doesn't work... you have to compensate us! Not much, twenty!"
"Twenty is not enough? It's half a month's salary for our Yueqin!"
"Twenty? My daughter is pregnant with a boy! We can't go to work, we can't do our jobs, we have to take injections and medicines to maintain the pregnancy, which one doesn't cost money? I won't ask you for anything else, but you have to take this twenty yuan for medical treatment, medicine and nutritional supplements, right?"
Aunt Mu knew that this old lady was annoying and she couldn't avoid it.
Think about it, these twenty yuan are much better than the one hundred yuan I asked her for at the beginning, right?
"Okay, let's do it!"
After seeing Aunt You off, Aunt Mu went to knock on Yuan Yueqin's door and told her what had happened.
"Mom, are you crazy? I won't do this! Are you afraid that my reputation isn't bad enough? Are you afraid that he doesn't hate me enough?"
"Hate him if you want, but do you still expect to be with him? He's already married, and they're living a sweet life now. You can't get involved! Listen to me, I'll ask someone to find you a suitable one later!"
"Appropriate? What is appropriate? Mom, don't worry about this. I have my own plans!"
"Just listen to my advice! Don't you understand the current situation? He is no longer the same as before. You kicked him out back then. How could such an arrogant person like him have eyes for you? He looked down on you back then, and he looks down on you even more now! I tell you, don't count on it in this life, don't dream about it! The better he lives, the less you will be in his eyes!"
"Mom, please stop bothering me. Please, can you just let me be quiet?"
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll give you a few days to think about it slowly. When you've thought it over, we'll talk about it!"
Aunt Mu left, leaving Yuan Yueqin alone in the room to think.
Yuan Yueqin spent three days thinking about this.
The fourth day was a weekend.
The weather outside the window was sunny and the warm sun was hanging high in the sky. Yuan Yueqin, who had been stuck in the house for several days, finally came out with a pair of crutches and sat on a stool under the west wall to bask in the sun.
Aunt Wang was tying ropes in the yard, preparing to dry quilts.
Aunt Jiang also came out with a quilt in her arms, and her son Niu Dazhi was holding a rope in his hand, also planning to dry the quilt.
"Auntie Wang, are you drying your quilt too?" Auntie Jiang greeted her.
"Yes, we need to dry them! It rained a few days ago and the quilt is damp. Today, the weather is good, so I'm going to dry the quilt!" Aunt Wang tied the rope and saw Aunt Jiang preparing to dry her quilt, so she said to her, "You want to dry it too? I have two quilts here, and there's plenty of space. Come over here and dry them!"
"Thank you." Aunt Jiang immediately came over with a blanket in her arms. "I saw your daughter-in-law retching in the corner yesterday. Is she pregnant?"
When talking about this, Aunt Wang smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits: "Yes, it happened again!"
"That's great! This time I will give you a grandson!" said Aunt Jiang.
"Oh, grandchildren are all treasures!"
"That's different! You have two sons, but I only have Dazhi! You must give birth to a son to continue the family line for my family!" said Aunt Jiang.
"Your daughter-in-law hasn't come back yet?" asked Aunt Wang.
"No!"
"Oh, what a temper!"
"But what's the matter?" Aunt Jiang was also angry. "Look at that skinny look, it doesn't look like a chicken that can lay eggs! Look at our yard, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is pregnant with her second child, and I don't know when my Dazhi will be able to become a father!"
"Don't worry, take your time!"
"I've made up my mind. If my wife doesn't come back, I'll just let my son divorce her! Marry a new wife! Have a baby as soon as possible! Among all the young men in this courtyard, my Dazhi is the only one who doesn't have a child!"
"How is that possible? Didn't Jiang Xun have it either?" Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! You said he's standing up now, so logically he should be pregnant, right? Two nights ago, I went to the toilet outside in the middle of the night, and passed by their window on purpose to listen to the noise! Oh, the noise was really loud..." Aunt Jiang covered her mouth and laughed, "It made me so scared!"
Aunt Wang also laughed: "Young people are all like this..."
Yuan Yueqin's brows almost furrowed upon hearing this. It was such bad luck. She had come out in a good mood to bask in the sun today, but who could have expected to run into these two people who were talking like old wives. It was so annoying!
Who wants to listen to the intimacy between the couple?
As they were talking, Ye Li and Jiang Xun came out of the house one after another. Ye Li smiled and looked at Aunt Jiang: "I see you are still not ashamed! You are an elder, and you are so old, but you still eavesdrop on other people's walls! What kind of addiction is this? Could it be that at your age, you feel that the night is long, you are alone and can't sleep, and you are lonely and can't sleep, so you go to eavesdrop? Then I have to tell the neighbors to be careful of you!"
