Chapter 329 Xu Jie's Family Knows
There are not many families in their town that have the ability to buy gold and drive a car.
Zhao Jinmei and Xu Chungen looked at Li Jianbing together.
Li Jianbing laughed and said, "I just work alone and cooperate with some companies to do decoration."
The villagers didn't understand what he said, but that didn't stop them from thinking that Li Jianbing was very capable and they were extremely envious of him.
Zhao Jinmei was most happy about Xu Fangfang's pregnancy. She kept staring at her belly and asking questions, "Calculate the date. She got pregnant almost right after getting married?"
Xu Fangfang nodded.
A village woman said sarcastically, "I told you to go for a checkup and treatment a long time ago but you refused. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up getting a divorce."
Xu Fangfang slowly lowered her eyelids. Not only was she not angry, but she was smiling. "I didn't expect it would happen so soon. I got pregnant right after getting married. I was shocked when the results were checked. The doctor said I was in good health and there was nothing wrong with me."
Everyone looked a little weird, and Zhao Jinmei subconsciously frowned, "You really didn't go for treatment?"
Xu Fangfang took out her pregnancy report on the spot and said, "Mom, why would I lie to you? I was planning to go to the hospital for treatment, but when I went there I was diagnosed with early pregnancy. We were so happy."
Zhao Jinmei couldn't stop smiling, and she clasped her hands together and kept saying "Buddha bless you."
The eyes of those villagers who were still expressing their grievances suddenly burned with the fire of gossip.
"If Fangfang is healthy, doesn't that mean it's Xu Jie who can't have children?"
"Yes! Didn't he also remarry? He even found a woman who had given birth to a child. It's been more than half a year, and I haven't heard that his wife is pregnant."
"Oh! In that case, everyone has really misunderstood Fangfang. Xu Jie's mother and grandmother are too outrageous! If they hadn't spread rumors everywhere, we wouldn't have been led by the nose and believed their lies."
"Yes, Jin Mei, we can't just let this go. Xu Jie's grandmother came to our village to show off before, saying that her grandson married someone better and said Fang Fang was nothing. Didn't you get sick from being so angry?"
Xu Fangfang's face suddenly darkened and she looked at Zhao Jinmei, "Mom, that family is coming to our house to make trouble?"
"No, no, it happened a long time ago. I forgot about it. You can't be angry about your pregnancy. I'll go to the street to buy some things later, and then I'll talk to you properly."
Nothing in the world is bigger than the baby in her daughter's belly. Zhao Jinmei now just feels proud and doesn't care about anything else, or rather, she doesn't need to care.
The villagers saw her like this and didn't say anything else.
Since they could not add fuel to the fire, the villagers who had nothing to do with the fun turned around and left. Some even planned to go to Xujia Village to talk to Wang Ximei so that they could go and make fun of Xu Jie's family instead.
After Zhao Jinmei sent all the villagers away, she quickly left the yard door ajar and pulled her daughter into the house to talk.
"My son-in-law seems to be quite old. How old is he?"
Xu Fangfang answered honestly, "He is ten years older than me. He joined the army when he was a teenager and stayed in the army for several years. Later, he was injured and discharged. He was assigned to a car repair shop. The car repair shop was in a recession and many people were laid off. He didn't want to waste time, so he came out to do it himself. He has made a good living over the years.
He has a house in the city that was allocated by his company, and a self-built house that his parents left him. It has three floors, and together it is about 400 square meters, plus a large yard. Now the village is preparing for demolition, and he can be allocated several demolition houses. What do you think of this condition, Mom?"
Zhao Jinmei did not answer immediately, but continued to ask: "Urban household registration?"
Xu Fangfang nodded. "My parents-in-law are gone, and he doesn't have any other brothers or sisters. It's just the two of us living together."
The more Zhao Jinmei listened, the more satisfied she became. She couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, okay, this offer is a hundred times better than the previous one. Apart from anything else, the gifts I brought today will be enough for your father to brag about for years."
When Xu Fangfang and Xu Jie were talking about marriage, Xu Jie acted gentle and sensible, but he was very stingy. Every time he came, he would just buy some fruits, which were always cheap. Their unit occasionally gave out welfare benefits, but he never gave them anything.
It's not that he likes to care about things, but people are judged by comparison. There was a family in the village whose son-in-law worked in the same unit as Xu Jie, and the son-in-law would often send gifts from the unit to his mother-in-law's house.
Zhao Jinmei saw it all, and it was impossible for her to say that she had no thoughts in her mind.
When Xu Fangfang saw that her mother liked Li Jianbing, she also smiled happily.
The couple stayed in the village for one night and drove back to the city early the next morning.
On that day, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to visit relatives in Xujia Village and told everyone about Xu Fangfang's pregnancy.
The news soon reached Wang Ximei's ears.
Wang Ximei said nothing and rushed to the family's house immediately. As soon as she entered the door, she started cursing, "Bullshit, if Xu Fangfang can give birth, I'll chop off this old woman's head and let her kick it like a ball."
The woman who said this was unhappy. "Auntie, why are you yelling at me? It's none of my business. Besides, the whole village saw Xu Fangfang driving back with her husband yesterday. Her belly was so big, I guess she must be seven or eight months pregnant. It was pointed, and it was obvious that she was pregnant with a son. The whole village saw it. If you don't believe me, go ask for yourself!"
"You said it's none of your business, so why are you coming to our village to make a fuss?" Wang Ximei started to become unreasonable.
The woman didn't tolerate her and argued with her, with her hands on her hips, "What? Can't I say it? Xu Fangfang remarried, and the man has a city hukou, owns a house and a car. Yesterday he came to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and brought wine, tea, gold jewelry, and many other valuables. What? Can't we talk about it just because we haven't seen the world?
Besides, Xu Fangfang has divorced your grandson, so it's none of your business if she remarries. What's your business if I mention her? If you have the time to find fault here, you might as well take your grandson to get infertility treatment!"
Wang Ximei was so angry that her facial features were distorted, and she yelled hysterically, "Who are you saying is infertile! Who?"
The people nearby pulled the woman, signaling her to forgive others when she could, but the woman refused, "What? Did I say something wrong? Xu Fangfang and Xu Jie have been married for so many years without any children. Everyone says that Xu Fangfang can't have children. I'm sure your village has heard a lot about her in-laws bullying her, but no one has come out to speak for her!"
Now she's doing well and got pregnant with a different man. Isn't it obvious who can't have children? If Xu Fangfang's parents didn't come to your village to ask for an explanation, you guys could really be at ease and pretend that those things never happened!
Humph! Shameless old witch! "
After the woman finished speaking, she grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and ran away swiftly, not giving Wang Ximei any chance to continue pestering her.
Wang Ximei couldn't do anything to them, so she started to cause trouble for this family.
