Chapter 70 070 On the Professional Qualities of a Gossipy and Entertaining Person
Old Mrs. Li used very offensive and offensive language, using the most offensive things possible, to the point that her eldest daughter-in-law couldn't even lift her head.
Then look at Li's eldest daughter-in-law. After being slapped by Old Mrs. Li, her little face was swollen like a steamed bun, almost transparent. Coupled with her pitiful expression, she looked as delicate as a little white flower blown by the wind and rain. Her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.
In contrast, the elderly Mrs. Li, who had no external injuries, seemed unreasonable and her expression was ferocious and terrifying.
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed, "Look at this little face, tsk tsk tsk, we still have a lot to learn!"
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Learn what? Learn her shamelessness? Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, we are daughters of good families. Stay away from shameless sluts like that. Don't let people misunderstand us. Otherwise, if some thugs bother you, you'll have nowhere to cry."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Don't worry, I won't learn it. I'm a good baby, and I'm my grandma's good grandson."
Aunt Liu was satisfied. "That's more like it. Stay away from her in the future, and don't get too close or ruin your reputation."
Aunt Song chimed in, "Your Aunt Liu is right. You're different from them. You're an educated high school student and you've come back from the city. We're not going to follow their example."
Qin Xiaoxiao repeatedly assured her that she would not imitate Li's eldest daughter-in-law or learn to swear like Old Mrs. Li, which put her two aunts at ease.
The three continued watching the play, and Qin Xiaoxiao pulled out three pieces of mung bean cake from somewhere and shared them with the two of them.
Aunt Song and Aunt Liu didn't stand on ceremony and took the food without hesitation.
Qin Xiaoxiao has been feeding the gossip team quite a bit these days, and they've gotten used to it. But they've also given Qin Xiaoxiao a lot of gossip about the village, which makes her very happy.
"Second brother, how have I treated you? Why did you get involved with your sister-in-law? How could you do this to me?"
Over the years, I've shouldered everything at home and outside. You're always lazy at home and rarely go to work. The three or five work points you earn aren't even enough to feed yourself, let alone support your whole family.
But what did I say? You're my brother, I accept that, but who told me to have such a good-for-nothing brother?
And what about you? It's one thing to be ungrateful, but how could you seduce your sister-in-law? How could you be so shameless?
You've completely disgraced the Li family.
Li Lao Er's face was covered in blood. He took advantage of Li Lao Da's rest time to wipe his face, and the blood on his head stained his hands.
"Boss Li, don't go too far. I've already hit you and scolded you, what more do you want?"
Yes, I slept with her, but is it my fault? My wife ran off with the kids, do you know how lonely I am sleeping alone at night?
Holy crap!
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after hearing what Li Lao Er said.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. What does your brother have to do with your wife running away? You sleep with your brother's wife just because your wife ran away?
What kind of bizarre idea is this?
At this moment, the whole place fell silent. Not only Qin Xiaoxiao thought Li Lao Er was a weirdo, but the other villagers who were watching the commotion also thought that Li Lao Er had a problem with his thinking and were shocked by his remarks.
Li Laoda was also surprised that his younger brother would say that, and he stared at Li Laoer with a blank expression.
"What does it have to do with me that your wife ran away? Is that a reason to sleep with your sister-in-law?"
Li Lao Er glared at Li Lao Da, "Who told you not to earn money? There's no money in the family, you can't feed and drink my wife properly, and the kids are so thin they're skin and bones. Are you just waiting to die if you don't run away?"
Everyone was shocked once again.
Good heavens! Where did this mentally ill person come from?
You don't earn money, yet you complain that your brother doesn't earn enough. Don't you realize that your whole family depends on your brother for food? No matter how much he earns, he can't keep up with a pack of hungry wolves!
Because you had no money, your wife couldn't afford to eat well, so she ran away with the children. But that's no excuse for you to seduce your sister-in-law!
Aunt Song rolled her eyes in disdain and was about to retort.
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly pulled the person aside and said in a serious tone, "Gossip should be done with the proper etiquette of a gossip enthusiast: do not participate, do not comment, just listen, do not speak, do not create conflict with the parties involved, do not show personal bias towards any side, and communicate with the group members afterwards."
Aunt Song and Aunt Liu were completely bewildered.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Xiaoxiao explained, "When you're just watching the drama unfold, don't get involved, as you might accidentally hurt yourself. Also, don't talk too much, comment in front of the parties involved, or speak on their behalf. We're gossips, not mediators. The conflicts between the parties involved are none of our business. Share your opinions with us afterward."
Aunt Song and Aunt Liu understood, and they both nodded, "You're right, we can't participate."
They're bleeding inside. If they say a word, won't we jump over the wall and beat them up? Their lives are at stake!
Now those two brothers have fought so hard they're bleeding, but tomorrow they'll be drinking together like old friends. Why make yourself look bad to everyone?
Aunt Song and Aunt Liu quieted down and watched the play from the top of the wall.
But the villagers didn't think so, and upon hearing Li Lao Er's remarks, they all began to condemn him.
"This is outrageous! He's my elder brother, how could Li Lao Er do this?"
"That's right, if even your own sister-in-law steals, what else wouldn't she do?"
"The Li family relies entirely on Li Laoda to earn work points to support the family. Li Laoer doesn't work and just lies at home all day, wasting his life. What right does he have to say such things about Li Laoda?"
"In my opinion, he is just ungrateful. It's no use being good to such a person; he doesn't know how to be grateful."
"That heartless, good-for-nothing brat! If he had crawled out of my belly, I would have killed him today to stop him from causing trouble everywhere."
...
As the villagers were discussing it, Qin Feng and Qin Aiguo finally arrived.
Seeing that there were too many people surrounding him, Qin Aiguo took a step back and made way for his son.
"Make way, make way, make way! Why are you all gathered here instead of eating at home? Hurry up and go home, everyone go back! What's so interesting to see?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's voice, the crowd parted, making way for Qin Feng to reach the Li family's courtyard.
Qin Feng walked into the courtyard and saw a pool of blood on the ground. He looked up and saw that Old Mrs. Li was still grabbing the hair of Li's eldest daughter-in-law. The two Li brothers on the other side had stopped fighting, but the eldest brother's face was dark and he was glaring angrily at the second brother. Qin Feng frowned.
"What's going on? Why are they actually fighting like this?"
In many rural families, the two brothers fight like this. It's normal for them to have their share of petty squabbles; everyone has their own selfish motives. But it's rare to see them fight to the point of bleeding.
Qin Feng looked at Grandma Li with a puzzled expression. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Tell me."
When Old Mrs. Li saw that it was Qin Feng, she immediately let go of her eldest daughter-in-law's hair and sat on the ground wailing.
"My God, I can't live like this anymore! The Li family has completely lost face today!"
Old Mrs. Li slapped the ground with both hands, crying so hard that snot streamed down her face, making Qin Feng feel disgusted.
