Chapter 6 Guaguaguagua is clearly not observing male ethics!
"Wow!" Xiang Yao raised his eyebrows, "What criminal record?"
"A family with many brothers means there are many sisters-in-law," Yang Xiaohong started the conversation. "As for Li Xianggui, she was more restrained when she was young. Although she was fierce, she was also reasonable. After she had a child, her figure became out of shape, and her whole mentality changed. She told everyone that Yuan Dashan despised her, and she suspected him of cheating on her every day!"
Xiang Yao was amazed. She suspected her husband of cheating because her figure had changed. This causal relationship seemed both reasonable and unreasonable...
"After all this suspicion, he didn't suspect anyone else, so he started to suspect his own sister-in-law. We don't know if it's true, but Li Xianggui always says that she sees it clearly. Yuan Dashan's attitude towards his sister-in-law is different from his attitude towards her."
"For example?"
"When others couldn't lift the bucket, he rushed to help. But when Li Xianggui couldn't lift it, he turned a blind eye. When others were sick or in pain, he eagerly cared for them. But when she felt unwell, he kept a stern face and said nothing... Tsk tsk, Li Xianggui was standing by the pond, talking one sentence at a time, and she wanted to jump in the water again and again. The faces of the Yuan family members were all green!"
Xiang Yao thought, how could his face not turn pale? He was lying by the pond, threatening to die. There would definitely be a lot of people watching him.
Not all members of the Yuan family are shameless. Let alone the women, even his brothers, no matter how close they are, would not be willing to wear a cuckold on their heads.
She asked: "So, is this true? Uncle Dashan, he..."
Yang Xiaohong curled her lips. "Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. We all think it's not true. Aren't all the grown men here like this? They act like their lives depend on it if they say a few more words to their own wives, but they don't act like this when talking to other people's families. Besides, isn't it natural for a brother-in-law to be close to his sister-in-law?"
This is not an isolated case. In some families, the husband and wife sleep in the same bed and do that thing without saying a word, just working silently...
Yuan Dashan was just helping out with some work and doing some favors among relatives, and he didn't really get together with the sister-in-law, so it was no big deal.
Of course, this was a dirty word, so Yang Xiaohong didn't say it out loud.
But Xiang Yao also understood. It turned out that this custom of "elder uncle cannot be close to his younger brother's wife, but younger brother-in-law can be close to his sister-in-law" is really everywhere.
She asked in confusion, "How can this be called a criminal record?"
This can't be considered a criminal record, and Yuan Dashan didn't really cheat.
However, in her opinion, even if Yuan Dashan did not cheat, he was not a good man. He did not care about his own wife, but only cared about his brother's wife all day long. How could Li Xianggui feel comfortable?
She also didn't quite agree with what Yang Xiaohong said. He wasn't close to his wife, but was close to his sister-in-law. How could that be natural?
Humph, it's clearly a lack of male ethics!
She couldn't help but think that when she looks for a partner in the future, she must keep her eyes open and choose carefully. People with Yuan Dashan's personality must be eliminated early on!
Yang Xiaohong smiled meaningfully, wielding her sickle without stopping, and approached Xiang Yao: "Do you think Li Xianggui is making a scene in front of everyone because she's messing with her sister-in-law? No! This is just a cover!"
Xiang Yao widened his eyes: "Huh?"
Yang Xiaohong: "Your Uncle Dashan, even though he doesn't like to talk or laugh, he actually had a girlfriend before your Aunt Xianggui!"
Xiang Yao understood that when Yuan Dashan was young, he had a relationship with a girl from the fifth production team next door. Both families were about to exchange gifts, but the girl's family went back on their word, disliking the Yuan family's poverty and unfriendly nature, and refused to allow the marriage to go through.
But the girl later married poorly and was so poor that she had to go back to her parents' home every year to borrow food.
Yuan Dashan was really obsessed with his old lover. It happened that his sister-in-law was in the same team as that girl. Relying on his good relationship with his sister-in-law, he asked her to bring some extra food when she returned to her parents' home, and then he sent it to that girl in a roundabout way.
Li Xianggui found out and of course she was not happy about it. She had just given birth to a baby at that time. After she found out about this, she didn't dare to go to her ex-lover to make trouble, but she found her sister-in-law to make trouble.
In her words, who asked you to do such a favor? Aren't you sincerely trying to set her man up with his ex-lover? If not you, who else should I blame?
Xiang Yao clicked his tongue twice and concluded, "What my uncle Dashan did was really disgraceful."
They are poor, but they have relatives on their mother's side to borrow from. They didn't actively ask you to borrow money, so why should you be a good person and send them food?
If the other woman's husband knew that the food was sent by his wife's ex-boyfriend, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?
He may indeed have a good heart, but he has no moral integrity as a man, tsk tsk.
Yang Xiaohong nodded: "Who says it's not true? But what Li Xianggui did is not very decent. If it were me, I wouldn't let everyone know. It would be embarrassing! I would just close the door and scratch the man's face and see if he dares to do it again in the future!"
When it came to scratching her face, she gritted her teeth with genuine emotion.
Xiang Yao took a deep breath, thinking that Yang Xiaohong might have really done something like this, and continued to ask, "What happened next?"
Yang Xiaohong came out of her emotions and said with a smile, "It didn't matter what happened later. He lost face by the pond, and Yuan Dashan never did it again. He didn't have the courage to do it again even if he cared about his reputation."
As for the fact that Widow Zhang was involved now, it was because Li Xianggui was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of the rope for ten years. She had doubts in her heart and was afraid that she would have to keep a close eye on Yuan Dashan for the rest of her life.
Xiang Yao took a bite of the aged melon and felt very satisfied.
Seeing that the access time displayed above the melon field had increased by another ten minutes, she felt even more satisfied.
It seems that the adults of the previous generation still have a lot of gossip in their hands. She needs to be more diligent and dig more!
Thinking of the melons in her melon field all grown neatly, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Yang Xiaohong was surprised by the happy look on her face. She couldn't help but wonder: Why is this little girl so happy just because she heard an old story?
She is old after all, and doesn't quite understand the world of young people.
However, thinking that she had obtained some more peanuts, Yang Xiaohong also became happy.
At noon, she went home and gave the peanuts to her children, and both children were very happy.
She thought about putting this small handful in the pot tonight, adding some salt, and letting her man have a taste.
Yang Xiaohong glanced at Xiang Yao who was bending down to cut rice again, and shook her head. He was so unfamiliar with this technique, and was cutting so slowly. Today's task would probably have to wait until tonight.
In Yang Xiaohong's opinion, it was just a few idle chats and gossips, so how could she be worthy of taking someone else's peanuts? Since she had received someone else's kindness, she had to put in some effort. She had to finish her own work first and then help Xiang Yao cut the peanuts.
Xiang Yao didn't know that Yang Xiaohong really wanted to help her. She felt that exchanging peanuts for gossip was worth it and didn't take the other party's offer of help seriously.
She was waving the sickle with a grunt and was also worried.
Although the original body went to school, he also did a lot of housework and farm work. When the captain assigned tasks, he did it fairly and justly.
But she couldn't do it. If she continued like this, she didn't know when she would be able to finish it.
Wiping the sweat off her face again, Xiang Yao raised her head and looked at the vast fields of golden rice. She felt that the grains on the rice ears seemed to be moving crookedly, and they all rushed into her eyes. She couldn't help feeling dizzy and sat back.
The rice stubble that had just been harvested stood upright in the field. When Xiang Yao sat upright like that, it poked his buttocks, causing him to feel a sharp pain.
People these days suffer from long-term malnutrition and don't have much meat on their bodies, so the pain is naturally even worse. In an instant, Xiang Yao's tears were forced out.
I didn't even care about fainting, it was so painful!
"Ouch, what happened to you!" The first person to discover that Xiang Yao had fallen was naturally Yang Xiaohong, who was closest to him. Her shout attracted everyone's attention.
Xiang Yao was supported by her and stood up with difficulty. He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, and said in a weak tone: "Auntie, I'm fine, I just didn't have lunch..."
Yang Xiaohong had already forgotten that Xiang Yao had secretly hidden the peanuts. She glared at him and shouted, "Why don't your family give you any food? This is unacceptable. At your age, you're still growing up. You worked in the fields for so long this morning. How can you not eat?"
The people around pricked up their ears and started talking immediately.
"I was saying that after Liang Sheng left, this girl wouldn't have a good life. Look, she doesn't even give anyone food to eat!"
"Zhang Juhua has always been a stingy person. She wants the horse to run without eating grass. She has no conscience!"
"At noon, I saw this girl go to Widow Zhang's house to watch the fun. Maybe she came home late and didn't get any food..."
"Heh, if your third son comes home late, will you leave him some food?"
"Of course I will..."
"That's right. Usually, parents will leave food for their children. But her parents are gone, and there's no one to love her. Zhang Juhua won't love such a granddaughter."
"It's pitiful! Even a poor family like us has been trying every possible way to eat something good lately. When she comes home from work, she can't even have a hot meal."
Country people don't have so many etiquettes when speaking, and this wasn't a secret, so no one deliberately lowered their voices, and in a moment the whole field became bustling with chatter.
Xiang Yao listened to these discussions and was secretly satisfied.
This is the art of speaking. Sometimes you don’t have to say everything. The rest of the cause and effect will naturally be filled in by those who are just watching.
If she complained to so many fellow villagers about the Xiang family's harsh treatment of her, these people would not necessarily join her in criticizing her. Instead, they would think she was ungrateful and would find countless arguments to prove that the Xiang family had done her no wrong.
But if she only described the facts in front of her in a half-hearted manner, then the rest of the speculations would be expressed spontaneously by the audience one word at a time.
"It's okay, I feel better now. I can continue harvesting rice." Xiang Yao forced a smile and struggled to stand up without Yang Xiaohong's support. "I want to earn all the work points for today!"
Yang Xiaohong quickly pulled her arm tight and said angrily, "Even in this state, you're still thinking about work points! Go sit on the ridge and rest for a while!"
Xiang Yao raised her eyes slightly, her face full of emotion: "Auntie, thank you."
Yang Xiaohong had never heard of people thanking each other repeatedly, and she felt a little embarrassed immediately. She thought to herself, people who have graduated from high school are different. They speak in a very elegant way, just like they are singing an opera.
"You're welcome, it's my duty!" She helped Xiang Yao walk to the edge of the field, asked her to sit down, and handed her her own teacup. "Come, drink some of the cold tea I brewed myself. It's very refreshing! You probably have heatstroke. Listen to me, your health is the most important thing. Rest first, and don't worry about the task. I'll help you with it later!"
Xiang Yao glanced at the dirty teacup, swallowed, and gently pushed it back: "Auntie, I'm not thirsty now, you keep it for yourself."
Yang Xiaohong nodded, put the teacup on the ridge of earth, told her to drink it herself if she wanted, and turned around to continue working.
It's so pitiful. As her aunt, please help this girl more in the future!
