Deng Fangping answered all the questions she was asked, and the villagers were very grateful to her, asking her a lot of questions in turn.
After a few rounds of drinks, Aunt Tong pointed to the neighbor next door and gloated:
"The police said the fire only burned down Shu Jiandang's house and didn't harm anyone else, so they released him early. The family lives in a makeshift shed in front of their house. In the freezing cold, they don't have a drop of hot water. The children have to drink frozen well water, but no one pities them!"
"He brought it on himself; who told him to do bad things!"
“Shu Jiandang used to bully you like that, and now he can’t even get a sip of porridge. He has no house to live in and no food to eat. I guess he’ll have to go begging on the streets.”
Not having food to eat is not a big deal, but not having a place to stay in the dead of winter is a real problem.
Shu Jiandang is almost fifty years old; making a comeback is no easy feat.
Deng Fangping saw Liao Hongmei when she went to the toilet. Liao Hongmei's hair had turned white, and she looked more than ten years older.
Deng Fangping recalled the grievances she had suffered in the past, feeling no sympathy, only exhilaration! She wanted to burn down their house, but ended up burning down her own. How could God be so kind as to give her Chu Yu as her niece!
Deng Fangping was extremely grateful that she had taken Chu Yu in back then. She wondered how much Shu Jiandang would regret it if he knew about it!
Having avenged her great grudge, Deng Fangping drank a couple more glasses of wine. Rural people can usually drink a couple of glasses, and Shu Hui was also slightly tipsy.
Aunt Sun, Aunt Tong's sister-in-law, exclaimed in surprise: "Shu Hui, I didn't see you just now, but after you went to the city, your skin became whiter and you looked more fashionable. At first glance, you don't look like a country person at all! I definitely wouldn't recognize you if you walked down the street."
Although Shu Hui is not young, she still has good facial features, and with a little dressing up, she can shed her rural rustic look.
Grandma Sun thought of her nephew, who was almost fifty years old this year. Although he was a bit ugly and old, and had driven away two wives after drinking, he didn't have any bad habits.
Shu Hui has three daughters, so getting married won't be easy. Aunt Sun thought that if she could marry someone into the family, she could have her nephew whisper sweet nothings in her ear and surely coax her into giving up the secret recipe.
At that time, Grandma Sun will also be able to set up a stall in Deyang.
"Shu Hui, you must be having a hard time without a man by your side, right? My nephew from my mother's side..."
Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Tong stopped her, saying, "Come on, your nephew is so pathetic, he's only good for breeding old sows. Introducing him to Shu Hui would be a disservice to her!"
Aunt Tong's disgusted look made Chu Yu laugh.
Chu Yu wouldn't stop her mother from finding a partner, but Shu Hui, having just escaped marriage, couldn't wait to jump back in. How desperate must she be?
Chu Yu thought Shu Hui wasn't that stupid. She hadn't even had two good days before she was going to get married and serve a man.
She took the opportunity to talk to several families along the way about advertising walls. When they heard that Deyang Home Appliance City would give them a huge sum of ten yuan a year for using their houses for advertising, the villagers were very happy and readily agreed.
After finishing a drinking session, Chu Yu had completed the advertising negotiations for Shanguan Village.
