Chapter 138 Guagua There will be another chapter tonight
Zhang Laidi waved his hand. "Oh, forget it. My sister-in-law Liu Ma-nu is a late mother. Daya was born to my older sister-in-law, who later died, so this one came into the family and gave birth to another son and daughter. It's no wonder she and I never got along. She says one thing to your face and another behind your back. She's so hypocritical. I can't stand people like that."
Xiang Yao understood. Isn't this just like the classical stories she had read before, where the stepson was dressed in clothes made of reed fluff? Wow, it's true that when people become cruel, they are the same, no matter the time, place, or country, men or women, young or old.
Compared to He Liuzhi, the illegitimate father, and Zhang Laidi's sister-in-law, the illegitimate mother, their methods were softer and less violent...
Thinking of this inexplicably, Xiang Yao couldn't help but shake his head.
Bah, what kind of thinking is this? They are all acts of child abuse, how can you tell them apart?
She leaned forward slightly and said jokingly, "And then? Did you take Daya to cause trouble?"
Zhang Laidi waved his hand, a nonchalant expression on his face. "I didn't mean to secretly cause trouble. I've long disliked this person. I just realized that every time we talk about her, everyone else thinks she's a good stepmother! It seems like I'm deliberately trying to pick a fight and wrongly accuse her!"
Xiang Yao nodded, thinking that just by looking at your face, I can tell that you are a person with no brains and everything is reflected on your face. You can't beat others...
But of course she didn't say it out loud and continued to listen carefully.
"Now that I've encountered this matter with Daya, I have to let everyone know what kind of person Liu Ma Nu is!"
"But I also thought that it wasn't my place to get involved in this matter. I didn't want anything to go wrong and become my fault. So I took Daya to her grandmother's house."
Yang Xiaohong interrupted, "You're right. Something like this should be brought to justice by her grandmother's family."
Zhang Laidi smiled proudly, "That's right! Daya's grandmother's family still loves their granddaughter. After seeing the clothes Daya was wearing, they were furious and immediately called Daya's uncles and cousins to come and cause trouble for Liu Manv."
Xiang Yao asked curiously, "Did the fight start?"
Zhang Lai Di nodded: "Of course, Daya's grandmother's family is not someone to be trifled with. The moment her aunt saw Liu Manv, she rushed over and slapped her twice. Her movements were so quick and efficient!"
Xiang Yao was happy, and the other two were happy too.
"A lot of people were watching at the time. People said they had no idea Liu Ma was such a sweet-mouthed, bitter-hearted person. Seeing her being beaten was a real pleasure."
Xiang Yao asked, "Where is the child's father?"
Zhang Laidi curled his lips and said, "He was so angry that his face was as black as iron. In front of Daya's grandmother's family, he said that he had no idea that Liu Mayu had done this behind his back. He swore to God that he would never let Daya suffer such an injustice again!"
Xiang Yao blinked and said softly, "It's not the first time that Daya has been treated differently like this. As her father, they live under the same roof every day, so how could he not know the tricks behind it..."
If a stepmother dares to treat her stepdaughter like this, it is usually because the father is incompetent or the father condones it, and she is not a good person either.
When the truth was revealed, he claimed that he was ignorant and innocent. He was like a white lotus stained with mud!
He Yuezhi also nodded in agreement: "It's just pretending."
Yang Xiaohong was even more scathing: "You usually act like a garlic, but you're actually just a pig's head onion!"
"Pighead onion" is a local term that refers to a kind of weed that grows in pig manure. It is not only despised by people, but even fish won't eat it if it is thrown into the pond.
Three middle-aged women, along with a younger one named Xiang Yao, gathered together and gave Liu Manu and her husband a harsh criticism meeting. When they really ran out of words, the meeting ended with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
Yang Xiaohong then looked at Xiang Yao and asked, "I saw you heading towards the brigade headquarters from a distance earlier. What were you doing?"
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "Hey, that's what I was going to say!"
She distributed a handful of peanuts to each of the aunts and told them in detail what she had said at the brigade headquarters. Finally, she asked, "What do you think, aunts?"
He Yuezhi said, "If we were asked to use the land we use to grow crops to grow this, I would definitely not dare. If it doesn't grow well, we'll starve."
She smiled and said, "But if I were to give it a try on my own plot of land, I'd be very willing to do so. These peanuts, whether grown for oil or for eating, would be excellent!"
Zhang Laidi said a little embarrassedly: "Come to think of it, I saved about ten of the peanuts you gave me before to plant next year..."
"There's a patch of land behind my house that's just full of rocks and weeds. I had it all planned out. I asked my husband to clean it up, and then I planted the seeds. I didn't expect we'd think of the same thing!"
Xiang Yao chuckled. "That's fine. No matter what the brigade decides in the end, as long as you're willing to plant it, I can provide the seeds! Aunties, please help me spread the word. If everyone plants a lot, we can help find a market for it in the future."
After achieving the purpose of this trip, Xiang Yao completely relaxed and continued to chat with his aunts before saying goodbye and going home.
They were only halfway there when they heard the familiar sound of wheels rolling on the ground coming closer. Xiang Yao looked up and saw her man sitting on the bicycle with his tall and straight figure and a face that could have been a movie star.
Nie Baichuan wore a light blue shirt today, which gave him a more mature and steady look than usual.
Xiang Yao narrowed his eyes, his gaze roaming boldly over the other person's face: "Why are you here?"
Nie Baichuan seemed to be accustomed to her scrutiny. His eyebrows remained motionless, the corners of his lips curled slightly as he said gently, "Since you haven't returned home yet, I came to pick you up."
"The brigade headquarters isn't far away, are you afraid I'd get lost?" Xiang Yao explained with a smile, "I went to Aunt Xiaohong's house to play for a while."
Nie Baichuan nodded and motioned for her, "Come up."
"Okay!"
Xiang Yao skillfully sat sideways in the back seat, put her arms around the man's waist, and rubbed her cheek gently against his clothes on the back.
Nie Baichuan was about to pedal when he felt a soft touch from behind. He couldn't help but pause, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"Don't move," he said.
Xiang Yao rubbed it again: "I didn't move, don't worry, I won't fall down."
Nie Baichuan hummed, stepped on the pedal, and the car slid out.
The wind in early winter is very cold, carrying a faint smell of dead grass, blowing into the nose, making people involuntarily get goose bumps.
Fortunately, there was a wide wall in front that blocked most of the cold wind, so Xiang Yao only shivered slightly, but did not feel too uncomfortable.
When passing by the threshing ground, Wu Laizi happened to be feeding cattle by the small canal there. Hearing the noise, he smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xiang Yao looked up and saw that the eyes of the man and the cow were focused on him and Nie Baichuan, and their expressions seemed to be exactly the same, which he found quite funny.
Just as she was about to answer, she saw that Nie Baichuan had already stepped on the brakes. Due to inertia, she was caught off guard and pushed forward, her face resting against his warm and thin back, and the two of them got closer and closer.
"Uncle Wu, come and pick up your wife." Nie Baichuan propped himself up on the ground and gave a polite smile, but there was a subtle hint of boasting in his words.
Sure enough, Wu Laizi burst into laughter and praised Comrade Xiao Nie for loving his wife.
After receiving a satisfactory response, Nie Baichuan became more and more like a straight pine tree. Not only was his posture straight, but he also exuded a joyful aura.
Xiang Yao raised an eyebrow, and after leaving the threshing ground, he put his arm around her waist tightly and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
Even the cold wind couldn't blow away this person's happy mood.
Nie Baichuan's voice came from the front, carrying a hint of smile: "I'm happy to see you."
Xiang Yao: ...
"Tsk tsk," she complained in a casual manner, "Don't we see each other every day and night? Is there any need to act like you're lovesick?"
Nie Baichuan nodded solemnly: "Anyway, I'm happy when you're by my side. There's no logic to this."
Xiang Yao's palm around his abdomen moved slightly and whispered, "So clingy."
Although she said that, she couldn't suppress the upward curve of the corners of her lips.
After a while, he couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.
The young couple quickly passed through the barren fields, entered the valley, and appeared in the sight of their mother who was eagerly waiting.
"Girl, you've been gone for the whole morning. It's only because Baichuan is worried about you that he insisted on picking you up." Liu Qiaoyun pointed at her daughter in the air and said with a smile.
She said that it was just moving around in the team, and it wouldn't be lost or anything like that, so there was no need to go and pick it up.
However, as a mother, she is of course happy to see that her son-in-law loves her daughter so much.
But as a parent, one always has to think ten steps ahead. He was afraid that if such things happened too often, he would become impatient. So when the two of them were alone in the kitchen, he whispered:
"Talk to Baichuan. Don't let him pick us up and drop us off for things like this going back and forth between our brigade and the team. It's a hassle, and I'm afraid that after a while, you might get used to it while he gets tired of it, which would be bad."
Xiang Yao was secretly eating some vegetables. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Mom, why think so much? If he's happy to pick me up, then let him do it. It doesn't interfere with his work, so it's not a big deal."
"Besides," she said confidently, "if I reject someone now because I'm afraid they won't do it in the future, isn't that just another form of throwing the baby out with the bathwater? That's not my style. If he really loves me, he should do this, and of course I accept it calmly."
Nie Baichuan treats her well, so of course she should accept it with peace of mind. They are husband and wife, partners, so there is no need to care so much.
Although Liu Qiaoyun didn't quite agree with her daughter's idea, she also understood the different thoughts of young people. After all, the relationship between the young couple was very good at the moment, and perhaps she couldn't use her own experience to look at it.
So I smiled and quickly passed over the topic.
Xiang Yao didn't take her mother's words to heart. She herself was a person with very firm ideas and would not be affected by Liu Qiaoyun's words.
When you are looking for a partner, isn't it about finding someone who treats you well? If Nie Baichuan doesn't treat her well one day, that's easy, they can just break up!
Women in the new era can get married or divorced at will! Hehe!
