Chapter 112: Auntie preaches, crazy woman (edited)
Aunt Zhou looked around and found that everyone was busy, so she lowered her voice and said to Yu Wanqing, "Actually, I like Gao Qingmei, the educated youth in your educated youth camp very much."
Speaking of Gao Qingmei, Aunt Zhou smiled: "Not only is she pretty, she speaks softly and is diligent at work. I heard she's also a good cook."
The child often asked them to exchange pickled cabbage, dried radishes, and sometimes eggs.
So they all knew that the people who often cooked in the educated youth centers were high-ranking educated youth.
Yu Wanqing smiled when she heard this: What a coincidence, I also like Gao Zhiqing, but I don’t know if we have the fate to become her sister-in-law.
Before she could answer, Aunt Zhou sighed, "It's a pity that Gao Zhiqing is so good. My stupid son is not worthy of him."
Aunt Zhou felt that if she asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage, she would be cheating the educated youth.
Therefore, this daughter-in-law of love ultimately belongs to someone else.
Yu Wanqing didn't expect that Auntie Zhou actually thought this way: "Auntie, many people say that their son is the best and he deserves all the female comrades. But with you, it's the other way around."
Aunt Zhou said softly, "I just see it clearly."
You can have ideas, but you cannot be self-righteous.
You know your own child well.
If he really has the ability to fly high, that would be the best. As a mother, I would only be happy for my child.
The dream of climbing up the ladder and relying on the power of the Yue family to move up is really impossible to achieve.
She seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yu Wanqing: "You too, even though you are dating Huo Zhiqing, you must find out Huo Zhiqing's identity and background, and whether you can get along well with his family members."
"My child, although we emphasize equality nowadays, the concept of marrying someone of equal status is still applicable at any time."
"There used to be a family in Nanfu County with only one daughter, and later adopted a son." She looked at Yu Wanqing, with a serious look on her face and eyes: "The daughter was smart, but later she married a man who was inferior to her in every way but could speak sweet words. The man kept brainwashing his wife, saying that everything from her mother's family was hers, so how could she give it to an outsider."
"Later, the daughter really started to take action against her mediocre brother and suppressed him in every way. The old man and his wife of that family also favored their own daughter and ignored the fact that their adopted son was suppressed by their daughter because they felt that this adopted son had no ability and could not protect the family business."
"Everyone looked down on the adopted child, and later he was forced to move away."
"The daughter of that family finally achieved the goal of monopolizing the family property, but the good times didn't last long. The old man of that family fell ill, and his wife was a timid person and couldn't take care of anything."
"After the father died, the daughter inherited all the family property. In the end, all these things were tricked into the hands of the son-in-law. Later, the son-in-law showed his fangs and first killed his mother-in-law. Then he kept feeding his wife fat, watching her body develop problems and finally die."
"This man has eaten up all the family members."
At this point, Aunt Zhou was filled with emotion: "Yu Zhiqing, you must remember that you cannot easily tell others everything about yourself."
She also said these words to her two sons.
Not all people are good people. You have to know how to distinguish them and keep some secrets about yourself. This is the best protection.
Yu Wanqing had guessed the ending of the story long ago, because such things as eating up the whole family still happened decades later.
"Auntie, don't worry, I have four brothers." So, even if someone really wanted to kill my whole family, they wouldn't look for me.
Aunt Zhou gave her a look of displeasure and said, "I'm telling you that if you are not from the right family, this kind of thing is likely to happen."
Yu Wanqing really wanted to say that, in fact, such problems may arise even if the couples are well matched.
Gain trust, form marriages, and finally annex.
She had seen such things before.
Yu Wanqing leaned over to Aunt Zhou and whispered, "Actually, Huo Zhiqing should be worried about whether I am cheating you out of money."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Huo Zhiqing looks like a very shrewd person. If you want to cheat money, it seems you have found the wrong person."
Yu Wanqing felt that Aunt Zhou really had sharp eyes and Huo Lanci was indeed a very shrewd person. It would not be easy to deceive him.
Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "You have also been to Muqian Brigade. I wonder if you have seen a crazy woman there. She used to be the prettiest girl in Muqian Brigade. Twenty years ago, she was deceived by a man and lost everything. She even had miscarriage."
"She is completely crazy and often says that her husband loves her the most and will take her away from this poor and remote place sooner or later."
"I've heard people say that she was insane every day and said things that no one could understand."
Yu Wanqing became alert after hearing this. Why was he acting nervous all day long and saying things that no one could understand?
Is it possible that they speak another language?
She took the matter to heart.
At dinner, Yu Wanqing told Huo Lanci about this: "Let's find time to go see this crazy person."
“You may get unexpected rewards.”
Huo Lanci nodded: "Okay."
At around four o'clock the next day, Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci both had two pheasants and a hare in their backpacks. Huo Lanci looked at Yu Wanqing and said, "Let's send the pheasants to Beishan to give to Elder Kang and the others first."
Secretary Zhou and the team leader both knew that Zhou Hongyu had a different attitude towards the people of Beishan, so now he rarely sent people to Beishan to open up wasteland. All the work of raising cattle and pigs was left to the people of Beishan. As long as these jobs were done well, no one would cause trouble for the six people.
As for the other two people who fell ill as soon as they arrived, they had long been ignored by the captain and Secretary Zhou.
When the two of them reached the North Mountain, they suddenly stopped. Yu Wanqing pricked up his ears to listen and said in a deep voice, "The wild boars have gone down the mountain."
It is now late September, and the rice harvest is just a few days away. If wild boars come down the mountain and eat the crops now, it will be like taking the lives of the members.
Huo Lanci had already picked up his hunting rifle and pointed it at the source of the sound. He looked at Yu Wanqing and said, "Be careful."
Yu Wanqing pulled out the knife she carried with her and nodded: "Don't worry."
"I'll give you the hunting rifle and you give me the hatchet." Huo Lanci was still worried and wanted to exchange with Wan Qing.
"Stop talking nonsense, they are coming." After saying this, Yu Wanqing looked at the herd of wild boars rushing out of the mountains.
"It's still a big family." Yu Wanqing's eyes fell on the big wild boar in the lead: "Now that you're here, don't leave."
All of them were left in the pot and cooked.
Huo Lanci fired the first shot. The moment the gunshot rang out, Yu Wanqing rushed out like a cheetah.
The leading wild boar was hit on one leg by Huo Lanci and fell to the ground. Yu Wanqing's hatchet wrapped in wood-related abilities followed closely and fell on the big wild boar.
