"Achoo!"
As soon as Qin Yushen returned to the family compound, he sneezed.
Lin Xiaoxiao tiptoed and touched his forehead. "You have a cold?"
Qin Yushen pulled her hand down. "No, it's probably someone who's insulting me."
Maybe Han Xiu knows about his trickery and is currently in a state of impotent rage.
I haven't been home for many days, and the house is covered in a layer of dust. After a simple cleaning, I can move in.
When Sister Wang from next door learned that Lin Xiaoxiao had returned, she brought over a basket of vegetables.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Then I won't be polite." The vegetables looked fresh, as if they had just been picked from the field.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony with Sister Wang and put the vegetables into the kitchen.
I brewed a pot of tea, took out some biscuits and candies, and sat in the yard with Sister Wang, gossiping about the latest happenings in the family compound.
"Commander Wu on the other side is getting married again." Wang's wife dropped this bombshell right at the start.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly took a sip of tea. "It wouldn't be... you know, would it?"
Sister-in-law Wang: "It really is that kind of thing."
Their eyes met, and they both saw gossip in each other's eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao perked up, "Didn't Commander Wu's ex-wife come to cause trouble?"
The relationship between an uncle and his niece is quite taboo.
Sister-in-law Wang smiled and said in a low voice, "Commander Wu went to the city to pick them up this morning. I heard that it was Qu Yu's parents who came. I don't know if Qu Ying came or not."
If Qu Ying comes along, the Wu family will be in a bloodbath from now on.
Given Qu Ying's temperament, it would be strange if he didn't skin Qu Yu alive.
Unexpectedly, upon returning, she witnessed such an exciting and lively scene. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but nod, thanking the god of gossip for his favor.
“A lot has happened in the family compound while you were away.” It seems that Sister Wang had seen through Lin Xiaoxiao’s love of gossip and took the initiative to tell her the juicy gossip.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and poured her a cup of tea. "Tell me in detail. I'd like to hear it. I love to hear it."
Sister Wang cleared her throat. "You know Ge Hong, right? The one who spread rumors about you before. Her mother-in-law came from the countryside and brought Deputy Battalion Commander Xu's younger brother and sister-in-law with her. The whole family is crammed into the apartment building, there's barely any room to move."
"Sister-in-law, stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me." Lin Xiaoxiao had a feeling that there must be something explosive going on, otherwise Sister-in-law Wang wouldn't have brought it up.
Sister-in-law Wang whispered, "Ge Hong's brother-in-law spied on Ge Hong and her husband when they were doing it, and even said in the family compound that she screamed like a pig being slaughtered, which made the man lose all interest."
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. "You lowly thing, didn't Ge Hong tear his mouth off?"
Although Ge Hong is an unlikable person, the voyeur is even more disgusting.
The best way to deal with this kind of person is physical castration.
"Where is there no?" Sister Wang took a big bite of the dried sweet potato and said angrily, "That very night, Ge Hong chased after her with a knife, but her mother-in-law was not easy to deal with either. She said that if Ge Hong dared to kick her youngest son out, she would make Deputy Battalion Commander Xu divorce her."
stop?
The Qing Dynasty has already fallen.
The old woman's thinking was still stuck in feudal society.
Lin Xiaoxiao remained noncommittal.
Sister-in-law Wang continued, "How come I never realized that Deputy Battalion Commander Xu was such a filial son? He believes everything his mother says, and he even said that Ge Hong was just making trouble for no reason."
Lin Xiaoxiao could roughly guess how the story would unfold from there.
It's nothing more than Ge Hong compromising, swallowing her anger, being suppressed by her mother-in-law, being made lewd jokes by her brother-in-law, and her husband being a mama's boy.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu is really generous." Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. He was so generous that he could even show off his affair with his wife to others. "Men are just inherently shameless, shameless."
Sister-in-law Wang sighed, "Every family has its own problems. Deputy Battalion Commander Xu is the eldest son in his family. Now that he's successful, he inevitably wants to take care of his younger siblings."
"Therefore, marriage is like a woman's second reincarnation. Whether she is reincarnated well or not depends on whether the man is good or not."
Sister-in-law Wang also had the experience of being exploited by her mother-in-law, but fortunately she had a strong personality, and her husband Lao Qian was on her side.
Without saying a word, he sent his mother-in-law back to her hometown and sent money back every month, which was considered fulfilling his filial duty.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao disagreed with this view, she did not refute it.
After all, people have different perceptions and it's normal for their views on things to be biased.
She never placed her hopes on men; she believed that her independence was more important than anything else.
Being manipulated by a man? Never in this lifetime.
"Let's not talk about Ge Hong anymore, sister-in-law, tell me about something else interesting." Lin Xiaoxiao took the initiative to change the subject.
Sister-in-law Wang: "Do you know? Zhao Mei is dead."
Lin Xiaoxiao calmly drank her water; she not only knew, but also knew who had killed her.
"I heard he committed some crime, got arrested, escaped on his way to a labor camp, and was eaten by wolves after disappearing into the forest."
“The other day, a military wife saw Commander Zhao go to the city and come back with a deathly pale face. We knew then that the rumors were probably true.”
Sister-in-law Wang felt a pang of sadness thinking about how Zhao Mei, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was now dead.
Lin Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Those who commit many evils will eventually face retribution."
Sister-in-law Wang nodded in agreement, "Yes, people should do less evil."
Upon learning that Zhao Dong had been sentenced to life imprisonment for embezzling state property, that Zhao Dong's father-in-law, Zhu Youwei, had been arrested as a spy, and that Zhao Mei and Zhao Qingqing had died on their escape, they were shocked to discover that Zhao Dong's father-in-law, Zhu Youwei, had been arrested for embezzling state property, and that Zhao Mei and Zhao Qingqing had died on their escape.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was obediently drinking water.
"Wife, did you do this?"
"How can you talk like that?" Lin Xiaoxiao retorted, "In your heart, am I the kind of person who would kill someone and then exterminate their entire family?"
Under her threatening gaze, Qin Yushen shook his head. "No, but pretty much."
