Yunxi decided to go for a walk after hearing the loudspeaker signaling the end of the workday outside.
She had eaten a lot that afternoon, and she wasn't planning to eat anything else that night. Since she was particularly curious about the Yun sisters, she decided to go to the gossip hotspot at the village entrance to investigate.
Yunxi was really eager to know why Yun Zhaodi seemed so absent-minded.
So after coming out of the house, he didn't bring the things in the yard back inside, but instead put them directly into the space, then opened and locked the door and ran to the Bagua area at the village entrance.
Yunxi never expected that she would one day be so fond of gossip, but listening to others gossip was still quite interesting.
Although she felt that if she listened to other people's gossip, she might one day inadvertently hear others gossiping about her, she thought that was normal.
No one is immune to criticism; after all, no one is perfect.
I hadn't even run 100 meters when I realized that my hair wasn't tied up at all; it was all over my head, which really affected my image.
I quickly stopped and tied my hair up. Looking at this terrible hair tie, all black and grimy, it felt like my hair was going to be torn off every time I tied it up.
However, there are no better rubber bands available right now, so we can only use these for the time being. All the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town use these kinds of rubber bands. If I have the chance someday, I must go to the city to see if the supply and marketing cooperatives there have better products.
I can only bear it for now. After tying my hair up, I quickly ran a few steps.
Although most people go straight home to cook dinner after work, there are always some who don't have to cook. After all, there are many people in their families, and many haven't separated their households, so cooking is done in shifts. When it's not their turn, they go to the village to gossip.
It's not just young people in their twenties and thirties; even women in their thirties and forties, or grandmothers in their fifties and sixties, can't escape the law of "it's so good to watch the gossip."
Even some good-for-nothings from the villages would go there; if they didn't have wives, they would specifically go to see the young women and wives.
Fortunately, they were just looking; they would never dare to actually do anything.
The men in the village are quite hot-tempered. If any scoundrel dares to misbehave with his wife, he'll grab a knife and attack. This is no joke.
So the village hooligans would go to the gossip spot at the village entrance for two reasons: one, to feast their eyes on the young women and wives, and two, to listen to all sorts of gossip.
Even because they weren't proactive at work, they would pretend here and there, and they knew more gossip and were more knowledgeable about it than the old ladies in the village.
Even many older women would let those hooligans gossip, which is why those hooligans weren't driven away and were quite popular in that place.
From afar, Yunxi could see a large number of people already standing on the flat ground at the village entrance, so she quickly stopped running.
He tugged at his clothes, pretending to walk slowly, and strolled over.
Anyway, Yunxi's ears are so sharp that she can hear their gossip even if she doesn't go forward.
If she walked too far ahead, they would definitely pull her along to gossip, and Yunxi knew nothing about the village gossip. If she didn't gossip, she would seem too out of place.
So don't get too close; just get to a place where you can hear them talking.
Having found a perfect spot with a large rock in front of her, Yunxi simply squatted down behind the rock, took a small stone, and pretended to write and draw on the ground.
I listened quietly to the gossip coming from the other end.
"Are you telling the truth? Erzhuzi doesn't seem like that kind of person. And his wife is so beautiful, why would he go after a widow? Besides, the widow is so much older than him, she just doesn't seem like the type."
"Why don't you believe me? Every piece of gossip I, Da Liu, utter is true and verified. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I never lie."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yunxi thought of the name Da Liu and suddenly remembered who she was.
Isn't this the one who was gossiping with Chunhua and Eryue last time?
I only learned about Liu Dabao's situation from what they told me.
Yunxi said that the gossip Aunt Liu told her seemed pretty true, and probably was.
I just don't know who this "Erzhuzi" they're talking about is.
There are several pillars in the village, and Yunxi really didn't notice which one this second pillar was.
But who is the widow they're talking about?
Quickly prick up your ears and listen.
“It’s not that we don’t believe it, it’s just that everyone wants to avoid passing by that widow, so as not to get caught in the crossfire if something happens. How could Erzhuzi possibly go near her? It just doesn’t seem like it.”
Da Liu coughed and said with a hint of smugness, "You guys don't know this, do you? I know the reason."
"Hurry up and tell me, stop keeping me in suspense."
"that is."
There were a bunch of urging voices around her, and Yunxi suddenly realized that having too sensitive hearing wasn't a good thing. She felt a buzzing sound in her ears, which was really too noisy.
Perhaps feeling that he had whetted everyone's appetite, Da Liu stopped dawdling and began to talk about the history between Er Zhu Zi and the widow.
"As you all know, that widow had two children, and because she was from a landlord family, she didn't have a good life. Only when her eldest son grew up and somehow got into the army did things start to get a little better."
I heard that when that widow's eldest son left, he asked Erzhuzi to look after his family, saying that when she came back, she'd get money!
"Is there really such a good thing?"
"Is it true? What if it turns out to be another false alarm? Given the current situation of the Chen family widow, do you think they can afford to pay?"
"That's because you don't know. His son went to join the army, and he gets a monthly allowance. Besides, how do you know that his family didn't hide anything when they were fighting the landlords? With their cleverness, it would be strange if they didn't hide something."
"Yes, yes, you're right. Even poor families like ours still have some money hidden away. They used to be rich, and even if they fall on hard times again, they still have three pounds of broken nails."
"Da Liu, are you really sure that Er Zhuzi is only taking care of their family because of money?"
