Meng Tao: "That's great, how did you know? Did you see it?"

Sun Yutang: "Not only have I seen them, I know them all."

Xu Guoliang imitated the tone and demeanor of the village aunties and added: "She is so fat and has a face as red as a hen. She is so lucky. She will bring good luck to her husband and family and give birth to a son!"

Several people burst into laughter again, and Taurus's face turned red to his neck.

Qian Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Okay, stop playing dumb. Let me tell you about peach blossoms. Taurus's partner is..."

Jinniu hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "Teacher Qian, I, I, I will speak for myself!"

"Okay, then you tell me."

Meng Tao was ready to listen, but Jinniu was too nervous and spoke haltingly and in reverse order. Fortunately, there were three "teachers" nearby to help with embellishments, and two spectators occasionally reminded her. Meng Tao finally understood the ins and outs of Jinniu's "object".

Just last week, the old Meng family of Naliang Commune organized a group of people and came to cause trouble. The leader was of course Old Lady Meng and Geng Liuju.

The last time Meng Tao was at home, Jinniu went to visit Wang Ergou in Liuzhuang. He was seen by Geng Liuju, who wanted to capture him and marry Geng Caiyue. Meng Changshou interfered, and then Meng Jingui came and tried to blackmail Jinniu, saying that Geng Liuju's leg was broken by Meng Changshou, which was a deliberate exaggeration. He just wanted to blackmail Jinniu to give him more money.

The fact is that Meng Changshou wanted to drag the old woman back home, but the old woman refused to listen and started fighting with Meng Changshou. Both sides exerted great strength, and as a result, the old woman lost her grip and fell out. She sprained her ankle and dislocated her arm. After a few days of rest after her injuries were put back in place, she was probably healed, but she came out to make trouble again.

Speaking of which, Geng Liuju can be considered a divine person. She is already in her seventies and is very skinny, but her body is very strong, her bones are strong and her tendons are tough. Her energy is even stronger than that of young people, and she can withstand any hardship.

There were more than ten people on two ox carts and two bicycles, including brothers Meng Laifu and Meng Laicai, two young couples Meng Jinbao and Meng Jingui, three girls from the Meng family, as well as Geng's uncle, aunt, uncle, cousin-in-law, Geng Caiyue and three kids. There were also some things like quilts, pots and pans on the carts, as if they were going to move here to live.

Jinniu was told that there were guests coming. When he went out, he was frightened to see such a large group of people gathered at the door. He was in a daze for a long time and could not move. Fortunately, it was noon when he got off work and went home for lunch. The villagers came to watch the fun, and the educated youth helped Jinniu stop the people from Lao Meng's family and prevented them from moving things into the house.

This time the fight was particularly fierce. Geng Caiyue knelt in front of Jinniu holding her youngest son, shouting "his dad" and crying.

In front of the villagers, Old Mrs. Meng Geng Liuju repeatedly banged her head against the doorpost and stone wall, and said fiercely, if Meng Jinniu dared not marry Geng Caiyue, she would die here today!

When being stopped, the old woman pointed at Geng Caiyue and the child tremblingly and told the onlookers: the child in Geng Caiyue's arms is Jinniu's own flesh and blood. At the beginning, the family was poor and Jinniu could not find a wife. Although the cousin was a widow, she was young and capable. The cousin did not despise Jinniu and was willing to marry him. The two of them lived a happy life as a couple. But unexpectedly, Jinniu was adopted to Linshui Village. Seeing that he was going to have a good life, he abandoned Geng Caiyue. However, Geng Caiyue had already given birth to a baby for him. How could an orphan and a widow live like this?

After the old woman finished speaking, she burst into tears and slapped herself, saying that it was because of the sins she had committed in her previous life that if she gave birth to a grandson who would be like Chen Shimei, she would definitely be struck by lightning!

The crowd was talking about it. People hated men who abandoned their wives and children when they got rich and powerful. Especially the aunties and girls. Seeing Geng Caiyue crying so pitifully while holding her child, they were immediately filled with sympathy and indignation. They all asked Jinniu:

Jinniu, how could you do such a thing that is worse than an animal? How pitiful is the child? Hurry up and take the woman home. You will be punished for being a Chen Shimei. Let's see if there will be any girl willing to marry you in the future! ! Geng Liuju came up with this trick, which was cruel and vicious. Jinniu was so angry that he trembled all over, but he couldn't argue. He was surrounded by the aunties and couldn't argue. The aunties' scolding was overwhelming and didn't give him any chance. Jinniu was so anxious and angry that he almost wanted to hit someone.

At this time, Captain Bao and two brigade cadres arrived. Originally, Captain Bao could calm the situation down immediately with a loud shout, but something happened in the chaos and Captain Bao suddenly couldn't show up. He had to avoid suspicion first and stood aside with a sullen face, while the other two brigade cadres handled the problem.

It was Bao Dongmei. She was at home helping her mother make lunch when she heard someone come to report to her father that there was a quarrel in Jinniu's family. Bao Dongmei was worried about Jinniu, so she followed Captain Bao and ran over. She just happened to see and hear the aunts and grandmas surrounding Jinniu, pointing fingers at him and condemning him, saying that no good girl would be willing to marry him in the future.

Bao Dongmei became famous. She was fat, the kind of solid fat, and had a lot of brute strength. She jumped up and down. Brother Jinniu didn't dare to fight with a woman, but she dared. She pushed several aunties and grandmas away in no time. One auntie fell down and pointed at Bao Dongmei and scolded her for meddling in other people's business.

Bao Dongmei stood in front of Jinniu and shouted, "I don't care about your business, but you can't bully my brother Jinniu! Brother Jinniu is not Chen Shimei, he is a good man! Who says there are no girls who will marry him? I will marry him, I am willing to marry him! If you dare to bully Brother Jinniu again, I will fight you to the death!"

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then there was an uproar, some laughing, some cursing, saying all sorts of things.

Geng Liuju yelled at Bao Dongmei, "Where did you come from, you shameless little whore? My grandson doesn't want you. My Meng family has been clean for generations, and we will never accept junk that comes to our doorstep!"

“…”

Bao Dongmei's face flushed red. She was too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. She couldn't scold the old monster and clenched her fists in anger. If it wasn't for the fact that Geng Liuju was in his seventies, she would have pounced on him and beat him up.

Jinniu walked out from behind Bao Dongmei, stood side by side with her, and said loudly: "I am not Chen Shimei, I have never had a girlfriend in Liuzhuang. Now, Bao Dongmei is my girlfriend. Dongmei is the best girl in the world. If anyone dares to scold Dongmei, I will fight her to the death!"

The sudden change left Geng Liuju and Geng Caiyue confused, while the people in Linshui Village were somewhat unconvinced.

A girl came out from the crowd and said loudly:

"Meng Jinniu, you love the new and hate the old, and you abandon women and children. I can't stand it anymore, and I must speak up for justice! I remember that we came to your house to play on the first few days of the first lunar month during the Chinese New Year, and you clearly said at that time: you have a girlfriend in Liuzhuang! It was this poor Geng Caiyue, right? Meng Jinniu, you must be honest. If you dare to abandon her after having an affair, Geng Caiyue will go to court to sue you, and I am willing to testify for her! There were other people present that day, and they all heard it. Several people testified at the same time, proving that you already had a girlfriend in Liuzhuang last year. Tell me, are you finished? "

Bao Dongmei glared at the girl: "Yu Xiaomin, stop talking nonsense here, you're the one who's finished!"

Meng Jinniu held Bao Dongmei and said to Yu Xiaomin, "If I have a partner in Liuzhuang, everyone in Liuzhuang will know about it. If I go to court to sue me, the testimony of people from Liuzhuang will be most useful, and it won't be your turn.

I remember the day you mentioned. Why did I tell you that I had a partner? It was because you asked me to date someone, but I didn’t want to. If I rejected you directly, you would lose face. So I had to say that I already had a partner so that you would give up. "

"You..." Yu Xiaomin was so embarrassed that she ran away angrily.

Even people from the old Meng family and the old Geng family who wanted to come in to have a drink of water were refused by Jinniu, who asked Qian Xiaoyun and Jiang Limei to close and bolt the gate.

Facts have proved that when you are strong and cold enough, no evil wind or waves can harm you.

The onlookers gradually realized that the people from the Meng family and the Geng family were behaving abnormally. Gradually, people stopped sympathizing with Geng Caiyue and began to believe that Jinniu was wronged.

Jin Niu said to Geng Caiyue: "Why do you insist that I marry you and raise three sons for you? Do I owe you anything? Am I an honest person so easy to bully? If you dare to pester me again and say that the child is mine and ruin my reputation, I will sue you in court and put you in jail!

From now on, the people in your Geng family will bear the reputation of you being in prison, and people will point fingers at you and curse you. Do you think they are happy? If your brothers and sisters go to school and want to work, what will be the consequences if people know that you have a sister in prison? Don't think that I am an honest man who is easy to talk to. Honest people also have tempers. If you don't believe me, come and make a fuss, and keep making a fuss!"

Geng Caiyue stood there speechless, staring at Jinniu in amazement. She probably could not have imagined that the honest Jinniu could say such words.

Behind Geng Caiyue, Geng's second aunt had not reacted yet. After being stunned for a moment, Geng's second uncle and uncle Geng immediately stepped forward and pulled Geng Caiyue back.

When they came to Linshui Village today, they finally understood: the Taurus of today is not the same as before. They heard that Meng Shengli's old friends came to recognize their relatives, and they were all rich and powerful city people. The ones with great abilities were able to marry Meng Taohua to the provincial capital, and her husband's family was also a wealthy and powerful family. Looking at the changes in the Taurus, they knew that Meng Shengli's branch was really going to get rich.

If Jinniu didn't want to marry Caiyue, then they couldn't let Caiyue go on making trouble. They couldn't afford the consequences that Jinniu said - there was a boy working in a factory in the city, and a girl who had just passed the exam to become a private teacher. These were all honors for the Geng family. If Jinniu really used his relatives in the city to get rid of them, it would be the end! The Geng family didn't let Geng Caiyue make trouble anymore.

Geng Liuju continued. She rolled on the ground and threw a tantrum, her face covered with snot and tears. She sobbed and complained about how hard she had worked to raise her grandson. She scolded Jinniu for being disobedient and unfilial, and for locking his own grandmother out of the door, saying that he would be struck by lightning.

Meng Laifu, Meng Jinbao, Meng Jingui and other members of the old Meng family all glared at Meng Jinniu.

Meng Jinniu was too lazy to look at them and said, "You want to harm me, why should I recognize you? Whether I am disobedient or not, whether I am a traitor, you can say whatever you want, you can also sue me in court, I am not afraid of anything as I am upright!"

After saying that, he asked people to open the door, but it was slammed shut as soon as they entered the yard. He showed no intention of inviting Geng Liuju's grandmother or Meng Laifu's father into the house, let alone anyone else.

A few male educated youth were not content with their meals. They held their lunch boxes and scrambled to climb up the long bamboo ladder in the house, leaning against the wall to watch the fun.

Geng Liuju was seen to have fainted from anger, but soon woke up with a shriek, because Captain Bao had pinched her Ren Zhong. Just imagine, Captain Bao, who was like a black iron tower, holding a big hand and pinching someone's Ren Zhong, who could bear it?

Geng Liuju not only howled, but also jumped around like a shaman. The three male educated youth on the wall collectively spit out their food and almost fell down laughing.

The people from Old Meng's family left in shame, but Geng Liuju refused to leave and threatened to stay and live with Jinniu. If Jinniu didn't open the door, she would die at the door.

In the end, no one knew what Captain Bao said to the Meng family. Meng Lai Fu and Meng Lai Cai, with grim faces, half dragged and half supported the crying Geng Liuju away.

So every time the people from the old Meng family came, they just came to perform a farce, which started off with great momentum but ended in a disastrous end.

The educated youth’s summary was incisive and to the point.

…………

After listening to this, Meng Tao smiled and said, "I'm not interested in anything else. I just want to know whether the temporary relationship between Brother Jinniu and Bao Dongmei counts?"

Sun Yutang: "Of course it counts, otherwise why would he be so anxious to send bayberries? Tsk tsk, Taurus is still lucky, fools have their own luck, if any girl treated me like this and protected me, I would also..."

Qian Liang patted him and said, "Wake up and stop dreaming. You are not stupid, so you won't have that kind of luck."

"Get lost! Don't touch me. Even if I had any luck, you'd destroy it."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qian Xiaoyun said, "Before, Bao Dongmei came to our house every morning and evening. In the morning, she helped Brother Jinniu with his laundry, and in the evening, she came to see if Brother Jinniu had eaten. We all knew that this was entrusted by you, Taohua, and we didn't think too much about it. Who knew that day, they suddenly confessed their love to each other. It can be seen that neither of them actually said anything explicitly, but they liked each other in their hearts. I think it's great, and I agree."

"You can't disagree, Jinniu has gone crazy. Bao Dongmei has been under the watch of Captain Bao and cannot come to our house these days. Jinniu is so anxious that he has lost his appetite and is like an ant on a hot pot. The day before yesterday, he ran to Bao's house by himself and came back smiling like a flower."

Xu Guoliang held his chin with both hands and made an exaggerated flower shape.

Meng Tao looked at Jinniu and said, "Not bad, you have the guts to go straight to them. Do Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao agree that you two can date?"

Jinniu blushed, "Dongmei said it in front of the whole village. It must be hard for her to go home. I can't let her suffer alone. In fact, I went there once that night. Her brother stopped me at the gate. My brother said Dongmei wouldn't let me go in now. Uncle Bao punished me by kneeling. He was afraid that my injured leg would be broken, so he asked me to wait a few days... Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao said that they would ask you what you think when you come back."

"Why are you asking me? This is a matter between the two of you. It's fine as long as you two are fine. Do you still want me to make the decision for you? I'm your sister, not your mother."

This caused everyone to laugh again.
