Chapter 25 Unexplained jealousy, the scholar strikes back

Aunt Li Er from Lotus Village is a well-known shrew. When she curses in the street, she can be heard from two miles away. Later, she became a widow and was the most unsympathetic widow in the village.

After Aunt Li Er raised her son He Zhenhu, she arranged for her niece Li Xiangyun to be the daughter-in-law of her son. People in the village said that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were worthy of the surname Li. They had the same personality, both hot-tempered and mean.

Obviously, Li Xiangyun had no grudges against Liu Mingan, but she just couldn't stand Liu Mingan's scholarly appearance.

The villagers were all mud-legged men, but Liu Mingan neither worked in the fields nor was in a hurry to get married. He spent all day writing and showing off his uniqueness. What was he pretending for?

But there are still so many people in the village who like him, and there are two of them in front of him, one is He Yiyi, and the other

is the third uncle's wife. Li Xiangyun glanced and saw the clothes in Liu Mingan's washing basin. She immediately raised her voice and said in a sinister tone: "Yo yo yo ~ I thought you were washing clothes for yourself, but you didn't expect it was for that woman. Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you are still a scholar..."

The others looked into Liu Mingan's washing basin, and it was indeed filled with women's clothes. Aunt Li laughed with a chuckle, and disdain was clearly in her eyes.

When the third aunt-in-law saw that Liu Ming'an was being bullied by Li Xiangyun, she quickly joined in: "Xiangyun, Ming'an has a good heart, you should say less."

He Yiyi also said despite her mother's rolling eyes: "Yes, Ming'an is kind-hearted."

"Who doesn't know that Liu Ming'an from our Lotus Village is a good man?" Liu Ming'an didn't answer, and Li Xiangyun didn't know how to restrain herself. She became more and more excited: "Ming'an, come to think of it, if that woman pooped, did you still have to wipe her ass? Hahahaha..."

"Oh! Hahaha...you still have to wipe her ass!" Aunt Li couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter-in-law's words, and laughed harder and harder, and in the end she bent over with laughter.

This was an exaggeration, but it was true when you think about it carefully. Third Aunt, He Yiyi and her mother didn't know what to say, and they secretly glanced at Liu Ming'an's face.

Liu Ming'an put down the clothes in his hands, straightened up, and the smile on his face at all times disappeared at this moment. His pair of dark eyes stared straight at Li Xiangyun, which made people feel a little scared for no reason.

Several people only heard Liu Ming'an say lightly: "Sister Xiangyun, I haven't seen Brother Hu for a long time. You have such a long tongue. Can you use your tongue like Bai Wuchang to hook your husband's soul back from the Red Apricot Tower?"

The laughter of the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped abruptly, and the other three were also stunned.

Liu Ming'an has always been good-tempered and doesn't care about others. Even if he has a conflict with others, he will first talk about the reason politely. Why did he scold people so harshly today?

This remark not only scolded Li Xiangyun as a gossip, but also touched her sore spot. Li Xiangyun's face changed, she frowned, glared coldly, and shouted angrily: "Liu Ming'an, what do you mean? Explain yourself clearly to me!"

Liu Ming'an looked at her like a shrew who was ready to curse, but his expression did not change at all. He said slowly: "If you talk too much, you will become a rotten mouth. If you don't accumulate good words, you will lose your virtue. Even if sister-in-law Xiangyun doesn't think about herself, she has to consider the children..."

At this point, Liu Ming'an suddenly paused, and then as if he suddenly realized: "Hey, look at my memory, I forgot that sister-in-law Xiangyun has been married for six years and still has no children."

The third aunt-in-law, He Yiyi and her mother were all shocked by Liu Ming'an's sharp words.

Li Xiangyun's husband He Zhenhu works as a thug in the town's casino. He never goes home and spends most of the money he earns on prostitutes. He chases after prostitutes every day and gives them bracelets, hairpins, clothes and cakes. However, his wife Li Xiangyun hardly sees him and stays at home like a widow.

This is one of Li Xiangyun's pain points. She cannot bear to hear others mention it. If others do, she will get angry and curse. However, compared to her husband's prostitution, the word "child" is the most unbearable for Li Xiangyun.

Li Xiangyun married into this Lotus Village six years ago and has actually lived a loving life with He Zhenhu for more than a year. The young couple, the husband is the breadwinner and the wife is the homemaker, and their life is very enjoyable. The only thing missing is a child.

Who would have thought that after one, two, and three years, Li Xiangyun's belly was still not moving, and the couple began to quarrel. People often heard He Zhenhu scolding "hens that don't lay eggs" and "sows that don't give birth to piglets", and complained to others that "our He family will be extinct". He Zhenhu began to run to Hongxinglou, and Li Xiangyun's crying and making a fuss were useless. In the end, He Zhenhu simply didn't come back, and Li Xiangyun couldn't have children anymore.

Therefore, the third aunt and her family originally thought that Liu Mingan was like a scholar meeting a soldier when facing Li Xiangyun, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he couldn't explain his reason. Who would have thought that this scholar would poke Li Xiangyun's pain points in a few words, and Li Xiangyun's eyes turned red with anger.

"Liu Ming'an, you bastard! I'm going to tear your mouth to pieces today, and see if you can fart again!"

Li Xiangyun was so angry that her face turned red, veins on her forehead popped out, and she was shaking all over. She picked up the clothes-beating mallet, and looked like she was going to eat someone, and was about to come to Liu Ming'an.

Aunt Li, who had been watching the lively scene, grabbed her daughter-in-law and said with a dark face: "Have you made enough noise? It's embarrassing, pack up your things and go home to cook."

Li Xiangyun was both her niece and her daughter-in-law, so Aunt Li was definitely biased towards her. Li Xiangyun said a few words to Liu Ming'an, but Aunt Li didn't think it was a big deal. But Liu Ming'an opened his mouth and exposed her family's ugliness. There were other outsiders present, and they made people laugh. Aunt Li couldn't hold her face.

When Li Xiangyun heard her mother-in-law's scolding, she felt aggrieved and her eyes turned red. She threw the mallet into the washing basin in a huff, picked up the basin and went home without looking back.

Aunt Li looked very ugly and glared at Liu Ming'an fiercely. She picked up the basin and left without saying a word.

I'm afraid this grudge has been formed. Aunt San sighed secretly and kindly reminded: "Ming'an, you should be careful in the future. These two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are very narrow-minded."

He Yiyi's mother also said: "Who said it wasn't? Last year, He Qiang's wife gave birth to a big fat son, and she kindly gave her red eggs so that she could share the blessing of having children and grandchildren. As a result, Li Xiangyun thought that people were laughing at her, so she smashed the eggs and cursed that the child would not live past three years old. What a kind-hearted person! "The dog, bah!"

Third aunt-in-law remembered something and looked worried: "And the year before last, Aunt Zhang had a quarrel with her, and within two days, a nest of newly hatched chicks in the family were all thrown to death in the middle of the night. And the peach tree planted on the slope, which bears many big and sweet peaches every year, was also peeled. Alas, such people should not be provoked, should not be provoked."

He Yiyi was also worried about Liu Ming'an when she heard them say this.

Liu Ming'an, on the other hand, was like a person who had nothing happened. He quickly rubbed the clothes, wrung out the water and put it in the basin, stood up, and smiled again: "Third aunt-in-law, Aunt Lin, Yiyi, I have washed my clothes and I'll go back first."

Third aunt-in-law looked at Liu Ming'an's back and sighed again.
