Chapter 32 What is the truth behind Guagua?
Xiang Yao stared at that place, unwilling to take his eyes away.
"Ah, yes, I love watching the fun the most."
She said this with all her heart. She came to watch the fun, of course because of the melon field, but before she transmigrated into the book, she was also the kind of person who would take time out every day to check out the hot search gossip no matter how hard or tired she was.
Watching the fun is something that is ingrained in her nature!
Nie Baichuan: ...
Nie Baichuan didn't quite understand this hobby, but he chose to respect it.
He stopped his bike when it reached the roadside below the slope outside someone's yard. "You can go up by yourself."
Xiang Yao finally spared a bit of his attention: "Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Nie Baichuan pursed his lips and refused calmly: "No."
"Okay," Xiang Yao jumped out of the car, "Thank you!"
She then asked, "By the way, do you have any pockets or something like that?"
Nie Baichuan raised his eyebrows, but without asking her what she wanted to do, he took off a cloth bag from the front handlebar of the bicycle and handed it to her.
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet."
Xiang Yao took the bag and while giving instructions, he quickly took out peanuts from the basket. After taking out the peanuts, he started taking out tomatoes.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you so much. All of this is yours to eat. Don't be polite!"
Nie Baichuan took the heavy bag, feeling a little doubtful.
Didn't she sell a lot? When she was in his room, there wasn't even this much left on the table.
But Xiang Yao was preoccupied with gossip at the moment and was distracted, so he didn't notice these details at all.
Nie Baichuan swallowed his doubts and kept his expression unchanged as he watched her rush into the crowd like a little mouse. He then calmly withdrew his gaze and rode away.
In a short time, Xiang Yao had slipped into the third row of the crowd like a loach.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to stand at the front, it’s just that the front row is full of old ladies who love gossip, and she really can’t squeeze in!
The Wang and Zhang families were still arguing like wheels. An old lady was sitting on the ground in the middle, crying and slapping her thighs.
"I'm going to die! My grandson finally found a partner and was about to get married, but now something as disgraceful as this has happened!"
"If you, the Wang family, don't give us an explanation, I will just lie here every day, eating and drinking your food!"
The old lady probably had some musical talent. She could sing, recite, act and fight very well, and her voice had a peculiar rhythm.
Xiang Yao thought about it and remembered what it looked like.
Like when she was a child, when someone died in the village, the old man would sing a night song in front of the coffin in the main hall of the host family...
Shaking off the strange associations, Xiang Yao focused all his attention on the situation ahead, but after listening several times, he still didn't understand what was going on.
The two families were speaking in secret, and never revealed the secret.
That's strange.
Xiang Yao rolled his eyes and decided to continue using the peanut method.
Because she had to squeeze into the crowd, she left her basket at the edge of the yard and did not bring it with her. So she reached into her pocket, actually taking out a handful of peanuts from the melon field, and quietly stuffed it into the pocket of an aunt who was watching the most attentively.
"Auntie, have some peanuts." Xiang Yao squeezed in behind the other person, got very close to her, and quietly stuffed the peanuts into her hand.
The aunt turned her head to glance at Xiang Yao and felt that the girl seemed a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she came from.
But her hands were honest. When she felt the bumpy texture of the peanuts, she immediately tightened her grip and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Sister, come here and stand next to your aunt."
The aunt looked at Xiang Yao's bright eyes that were obviously interested in watching the fun, and was very understanding. She immediately squeezed aside, made a space for him, and pulled Xiang Yao to her side.
Xiang Yao took advantage of the noisy crowd and asked quietly, "Aunt, what happened between these two families that caused such a commotion?"
The aunt covered her mouth and said mysteriously, "You don't know yet? The daughter of the Wang family is dating the young man of the Zhang family and they are about to get married. And the daughter of the old Wang family is pregnant!"
Xiang Yao's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "Ah? She's pregnant, that's a good thing! Why are you making such a fuss? Could it be that the man didn't give enough betrothal money?"
The aunt shook her head and curled her lips: "How can that be? The young man from the Zhang family comes to give us good things every now and then. They are very open and honest!"
Xiang Yao was puzzled: "Then why is it still like this?"
The aunt's voice became even quieter, with a tone of five parts interest and five parts regret: "The daughter of the Wang family is not pregnant with the child of the Zhang family!"
Xiang Yao: “What!”
The aunt seemed very satisfied with Xiang Yao's reaction and explained in detail: "I don't know who got pregnant with her. Old Wang's daughter refused to tell me."
Xiang Yao asked: "How did the Zhang family know?"
She had watched too many melodramatic dramas before, and she could instantly imagine several causes and consequences of the plot in her mind.
Such as "I am not here to destroy you, I am here to join you", "Although the Zhang family is noisy, the young man from the Zhang family is deeply in love and jumped out to say that he is willing to raise this child"...
However, it is obvious that the boy from the Zhang family is not so "selfless".
The aunt said, "Well, the Zhang family kid always comes to the Wang family to bring food. Sometimes he brings wild game from the mountains, sometimes he brings two pounds of meat, and sometimes he brings snacks. Tsk tsk, let me say, this kid is very generous! He is a good son-in-law! Last time I saw him carrying..."
Xiang Yao interrupted quietly: "Hmm, really generous, Auntie, how did the Zhang family know about this?"
This aunt is so good at talking. If she doesn't interrupt, the other party will probably count out everything the boy from the Zhang family brought and did every time he came.
The aunt was interrupted, but she was not angry. She said, "Oh, I was about to say it. You young people just have no patience!"
Xiang Yao smiled: "Okay, okay, Auntie, please tell me quickly."
My aunt said, "It happened this time too. The Zhang family caught a few fish and immediately brought two of them to my father-in-law's house. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the yard, the Wang family didn't notice him. The whole family was in the house discussing what to do about the pregnancy!"
Xiang Yao silently lit candles for the boy from the Zhang family.
This young man was so excited to please his father-in-law, but he unexpectedly learned about such a big thing. He must have felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yes, who would feel good after being cuckolded?
The aunt continued, "Look, when the Zhang family kid heard about this, he immediately took the fish and went back home. His family was wondering why he came back with a gift, but then the kid wiped his tears and burst into tears. The Zhang family was furious!"
There was no need for the aunt to elaborate on what happened next. Xiang Yao could naturally guess that the Zhang family felt that they had to seek justice from the Wang family, so the whole family, including the old lady, rushed over immediately and blocked the Wang family members at home.
Of course, descriptions like wiping tears and crying loudly must be artistic processing by this aunt herself, otherwise how would she know?
Xiang Yao sighed, "This is really hard to deal with..."
"That's right..." Auntie also sighed, "If you ask me, the Wang family is really shameless. They actually did such a thing. How shameful! This is just adultery. Two years ago, they would have been paraded through the streets and criticized!"
Xiang Yao did not agree with this.
After knowing the previous cause, Xiang Yao felt that both families were helpless when he saw the two families quarreling in public.
The Wang family may not have known beforehand that their daughter was pregnant with someone else's child, but the Zhang family was happily dating and preparing to get married, but in the end, they were cuckolded.
Of the two parties involved, one was crying inside the house, and the other was sitting in the corner with a sad face and keeping silent, letting his family members come forward for him. Xiang Yao looked at the young man from the Zhang family, and it seemed that there was not much sadness on his face either.
Xiang Yao felt that this was just the surface, and the truth inside was still in doubt.
For example, why did the Wang family's daughter secretly get pregnant? Was she forced into it, or did she choose to do it? Why didn't she reveal the father of the child? Was it because she was afraid, or because she loved him too much?
For example, is the Zhang family really as good as outsiders see it to be? Is the relationship between two young people really as smooth and harmonious as it seems on the surface?
Looking at the harsh expression on the face of the old lady of the Zhang family and the indifferent expression on the face of the young man of the Zhang family, Xiang Yao inexplicably felt that the truth might not be as this aunt described.
Earlier, the two families were still arguing, but the Wang family, being in the wrong, had finally restrained themselves somewhat. Most of the quarrels were between the younger members of the Wang family, while the elders either sighed or tried in vain to mediate and appease the Zhang family.
Amidst the discussion, a young man from the Wang family seemed to be getting impatient and shouted, "What exactly are you, the Zhang family, planning now? Tell us!"
The young man was already impatient. This was the Wang family's fault, but their family had a good attitude. They kept emphasizing that no matter what compensation the Zhang family wanted or what requests they had, they could just raise them and the Wang family would be willing to cooperate.
But the old lady of the Zhang family and those uncles didn't say what they wanted to do for a long time, they just kept crying and saying harsh words!
An old man from the Wang family also spoke up: "Let's go inside and talk it over. Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation about this matter. Our Wang family is a very honest family in the surrounding area. We will definitely not cheat or do anything cunning."
The old lady of the Zhang family was probably tired of howling at this moment. She looked up and looked around. Seeing so many people gathered outside, she felt a little satisfied, so she gave her son and daughter-in-law a wink.
Mrs. Zhang's wife received the signal, restrained her expression, and said coldly: "Okay, let's see how sincere your Wang family is."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Wang family and the people watching around knew that the Zhang family wanted compensation!
Of course, the marriage between the Zhang and Wang families is definitely called off now. It is extremely embarrassing for them to have such a mess. The two families are destined not to become relatives.
Both families entered the main room, which was full of people. Xiang Yao followed his aunt closely and went to the front door, occupying a good position.
Others also moved their positions and continued to work.
These days, wherever there is a bustle, it is always crowded.
Even though the Wang family does not want to spread their affairs to the whole team now, the Zhang family's attitude is completely the opposite. The more people there are, the happier they are. In short, they want to make things bigger.
Xiang Yao asked quietly, "Aunt, what do you think the Zhang family wants?"
The aunt glanced at the old lady from the Zhang family and said disdainfully, "This family feels they've been at a disadvantage. The meat and fish that the Zhang boy sent over, the bed they built for their wedding, the walls they built, they're probably going to have to pay for it from the Wang family!"
Xiang Yao muttered: "It's okay to just give them gifts, but even building a bed and repairing a wall is also... "
Even if I don't marry someone from the Wang family, I will marry someone else's in the future, so I still have to do these things.
My aunt said, "You young people are sometimes naive. You are just negotiating, but people must talk about the big deal so that it will be easier to bargain!"
Xiang Yao nodded to show that he understood.
She was standing very close to the room next door, and the door was not closed tightly, leaving a narrow gap.
Looking over, she happened to see a girl about her age sitting by the table, crying silently.
Xiang Yao thought to himself, this must be the pregnant girl from the Wang family.
She felt that it was not nice to look at this side of the person like that, so she withdrew her gaze and didn't look at him any more.
Oh, I don’t know what this girl is thinking.
