On the other side, in the threshing ground of the Red Star Brigade.
Everyone was busy, some were threshing rice, some were drying it.
At this moment, someone reached out and poked Liu Chunlan, "I heard that your sister-in-law Qingyue gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Liu Chunlan snorted in annoyance, but was afraid that her family members who were also in the threshing ground would hear it.
All he could do was mutter quietly, "She's very lucky. It's normal to have twins, a boy and a girl."
"That's right. Your family must have been very busy on the day of the birth. I saw that they were using a tractor at the beginning, but how come they were taken away by a car later?"
Liu Chunlan was not present at the time and only heard about it from her husband later.
However, she didn't want to speak for her sister-in-law, so she said vaguely, "The county leader personally picked her up and said that he happened to catch up. Who knows what happened!"
Hearing her say this, the women beside her couldn't help but smile.
"I saw that car, it seems to be driven by the leader who selected the teachers last time."
"I saw it too. It seems this car has come to visit Jiang Qingyue several times."
"You think that leader has a crush on Jiang Qingyue?"
Fang Ruyun, who was standing by, also sneered after hearing this and said, "What's the problem? Of course it is. How can she bear the loneliness when Brother Zhou is not around?"
"Don't tell me, Jiang Qingyue is quite capable. She can still seduce people even with a big belly."
As soon as Fang Ruyun finished speaking, a pair of cloth shoes suddenly flew towards her.
It hit her right in the face.
Fang Ruyun was furious and turned around to see that it was Jiang Qingyue's sister-in-law Zhang Aiying.
"Why did you throw your shoes at me? Didn't she dare to do it and not let anyone tell her?"
Zhang Aiying seldom quarrels with others, and her mother-in-law usually takes charge of any issue.
But my mother-in-law was not here today, so she ignored the gossip and pointed at Fang Ruyun and those gossipers and started to curse them.
"Did you just eat from the toilet? Why does your mouth stink so bad?"
"He is the leader of the newspaper. He is impressed by Qingyue's talent and regularly asks for manuscripts. Why do you think it's so unfair?"
"If you have the guts, go speak to the captain and let him judge for you."
Fang Ruyun and the others knew they were in the wrong and did not dare to confront her, so they pushed Liu Chunlan out.
"It wasn't us who said that the leader was coming to pick up Jiang Qingyue. It was your Chunlan who said that. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."
Zhang Aiying glared at Liu Chunlan and said, "When mother-in-law comes back, go talk to her yourself."
Liu Chunlan curled her lips and said, "I didn't say anything. They were just guessing. I wasn't there at the time."
While several people were arguing, Sister Ma had already driven to the village entrance.
Wang Xiuzhi saw that everyone was in the grain drying field, so she called out, "Sister Ma, please stop by the roadside for a moment. I want to tell my family."
When the car slowly stopped, Wang Xiuzhi rolled down the window and saw her eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Aiying, her face flushed with anger, arguing with a few women nearby.
He quickly got out of the car and walked over, "Aiying, what happened?"
When Zhang Aiying saw her mother-in-law coming, she immediately felt more confident.
"Mom, you're back."
Then, Zhang Aiying repeated what Liu Chunlan and Fang Ruyun had just said.
When Wang Xiuzhi heard this, she was so angry that she stretched out her hands to tear Liu Chunlan and Fang Ruyun apart. "You are so mean and talk nonsense. I will beat you to death today."
Wang Xiuzhi's actions soon attracted the attention of other people in the threshing ground.
Jiang Baoye and his three sons who were threshing grain also saw it from a distance, "Dad, what is mom doing? Why is she beating people as soon as she comes back?"
"Not good, go check it out quickly."
After a few people rushed over and asked the reason, they found out what was going on.
The second brother, Jiang Weimin, quickly pulled Liu Chunlan out and slapped her in anger, "She is our sister, how can you talk nonsense behind her back like others?"
Liu Chunlan glared at him in disbelief. "What do you mean I'm talking nonsense? Isn't that the car we're sitting in? Others can see for themselves if they don't have eyes."
As soon as Liu Chunlan finished speaking, Fang Ruyun and others also saw the car on the road and echoed, "That's right, we are not talking nonsense, it's Jiang Qingyue herself who is not doing the right thing."
"You said the birth of the baby two days ago was a coincidence, so why did you send someone to bring it back today?"
Wang Xiuzhi sneered twice, pulled Liu Chunlan and walked towards the road, "Come on, I'll take you to see who's driving the car."
At this moment, Sister Ma in the car couldn't stand it anymore, so she opened the door and walked out.
"Why are you female comrades gossiping behind each other's backs? Jiang Qingyue can go to the Women's Federation and sue you for what you did just now."
"Also, Comrade Jiang Qingyue is a special writer for our newspaper and a talent that our leaders particularly value. Comrades in our newspaper are vying for her manuscripts."
"Why is it that we are doing something shameful just because we come here twice to collect manuscripts? Do you think it is right to just turn around and leave when someone is giving birth?"
Sister Ma is worthy of working for a newspaper. Her angry words sounded like a machine gun firing at the few people.
Everyone was speechless.
Fang Ruyun suddenly woke up as if cold water had been poured on her. When she thought of the warnings Zhou Zhengting had given her before he left, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Slipped away quietly.
Liu Chunlan had just been slapped in the face and was about to make trouble with Jiang Weimin.
Now everyone in the newspaper office is speaking for Jiang Qingyue. Not only are her parents-in-law on her side, but even her husband is on her side.
He was so angry that he covered his face and ran away.
The crowd watching on the side awkwardly tried to smooth things over, "A few young wives are ignorant and are jealous when they heard that Qingyue gave birth to twins."
"Yes, your Qingyue is so lucky. This is the first time in our village that we have heard of someone giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Seeing everyone say this, Wang Xiuzhi's expression gradually relaxed.
"Qingyue was just discharged from the hospital today. She is afraid of being exposed to the wind. She will wait until the full moon. Then everyone will come to see her."
Everyone responded quickly, took a few glances through the car window, and then dispersed.
After sending Jiang Qingyue's mother and the other two back, they put them to bed.
Before leaving, Sister Ma was still worried and explained to Jiang Qingyue,
"Qingyue, I believe that Editor-in-Chief Song would never have thought of what happened today. Not to mention that he is a highly educated person from Beijing, even I, who was born and raised in Tongshan County, could not have thought that these women could be so vicious."
"I will mention this to Editor-in-Chief Song when I get back. I will be the one collecting manuscripts for him in the future."
Jiang Qingyue was also very embarrassed, "Sister Ma, Editor-in-Chief Song is not to blame for what happened today. It was also my negligence."
"It will be fine after I am out of confinement. I will submit the social media article myself then. Also, please do not tell Editor-in-Chief Song about what happened today, otherwise I will feel embarrassed."
Sister Ma nodded, "Okay, then we won't tell him, and you don't have to think too much about it. Take good care of yourself and try to write a better manuscript in the future!"
