Day 62 of being eavesdropped
"Shanhu, you are finally back."
The woman spoke in a very friendly manner, holding a piece of meat in her hand.
The man was very silent, just looking at Shanhu, and then when he saw Gu Jinshui and others, his brows wrinkled, and his face clearly showed disgust and vigilance.
"What are you doing here?"
Shanhu's mood sank, and he asked directly.
"How can you talk like that? You don't recognize your brother and sister-in-law after moving out for a few years, right?" Shanmu frowned and scolded.
"Oh, why are you talking to your brother like that? Shanhu hasn't seen us for a while, so it's understandable that he feels a little strange."
The woman patted Shanmu's shoulder and said to Shanhu, "Shanhu, we heard that you were getting married, so we bought a piece of meat here. You are really something. Why didn't you tell us that you were getting married? We only knew about it from other people."
Douzi and Gu Jinshui squeezed their eyes, meaning to see how good this woman is at talking.
At first, they didn't like Shanhu after they got married, and they yelled at him at home. If Shanhu ate more food, the couple would give him a cold look.
Now it seems that Shanhu deliberately distanced himself from them.
"Then you can go back," Shanhu picked up the broom on the ground and said, "My marriage is off, you came here in vain."
"What?"
Shanmu frowned, his face became even uglier. He pointed at Shanhu, "What have you done? You can treat such an important matter as marriage so lightly. If my parents knew about it, how could they feel at ease in their grave?"
Douzi couldn't help it and laughed, "Shanhu's brother, you are so right. How can Shanhu's parents feel at ease in their grave? My brother and sister-in-law drove me out of the house and didn't even give me a penny. If this evil creature was my son, I would strangle him to death."
When Shanmu and his wife mentioned the past, they looked a little embarrassed.
But the woman quickly smiled and said, "Yes, we all know that we did wrong in the past, so we are here to make up for it now. Shanhu, forget about the marriage, there are plenty of good girls. I think your house is too small, why don't you come home with us, it will be so nice for us to live together as a family, and your sister-in-law will find you a partner later, then your parents will be relieved." As
the woman spoke, she snatched the broom from Shanhu's hand and diligently helped him into the house to sweep the floor.
Shanhu let her do what she wanted. Shanmu looked around as soon as he entered the house. When he saw the furnishings in the house, his brows wrinkled again, "Why are there only so few things in your room? Where are the radio and TV?"
Shanhu looked at him puzzledly, "What radio, TV, these are all I have here."
"Brother-in-law, you are so rich and yet so frugal." The woman said with a smile while sweeping the floor, "It would be great if your elder brother was like you. The two of us just earned a few dollars, but he insisted on buying a TV. TVs are so expensive now, how can we afford it?"
"Oh, you two can't afford it even if you have jobs."
Gu Jinshui sneered, "Shanhu, who doesn't have a job, can't afford it even more."
"How could that be?" The woman blurted out, "I heard that Shanhu has several thousand."
The room was quiet for a moment.
Shanhu and the others understood now.
No wonder he hadn't come for so many years and suddenly came today. It turned out that he heard that Shanhu was rich and he came for the money.
"I don't have any money." Shanhu said, "You don't have to bother with me. Hurry up and leave. When I left home, we agreed that from now on we would be two families."
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying this?"
Shanmu was immediately angry, and his face was shaking with anger.
His wife hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Dad, please be polite to your brother-in-law. He was just saying that out of anger. He is still young. Why do you bother with him? Shanhu, you can't write two characters "山" with this stroke. You two brothers have depended on each other since you were young. Your brother said some stupid things before. Why did you take them seriously?"
Gu Jinshui was watching from the side. He thought to himself, this woman is really good at talking. No wonder she was able to team up with Shanmu to drive Shanhu out of the house empty-handed and still get a good reputation.
"I'm speaking from my heart. You came here for my money, didn't you?"
Shanhu frowned, probably because he had been holding back his anger for the past few days and now he let it all out. "Stop pretending to be a good person. You used to call me a street urchin and a hooligan, and even wrongly accused me of peeping at you taking a bath. When you kicked me out of the house, you said you were afraid I would do something bad and implicate you. Now that I have money, you're not afraid anymore. It turns out that money is really a good thing."
This honest man who never gets angry is really scary when he gets angry.
Not only Shanmu and his wife were scared, but even Gu Jinshui and others were a little shocked.
After Shanmu came to his senses, he was so angry that his face flushed red, "Isn't what your sister-in-law said wrong? You are rich, you are rich, it's not a big deal, look at what you have done, living in this shabby house, your girlfriend was about to get married and you still ran away, I think you, if you continue to hang out with these people, your life is doomed to be a failure, and no woman in the world will want you!"
"The father of the child!"
The woman waited until Shanmu had cursed her a lot before she pretended to say something, "Why are you saying these things, it's so hurtful, you can't say that even if you care about someone."
Shanmu was so angry that his chest heaved, and he turned his head away as if he didn't want to look at Shanhu.
The woman smiled at Shanhu again, "Huzi, what you said is right, but these are all things of the past. Your sister-in-law apologizes to you. Your sister-in-law and your brother really want you to come back. If you continue to mess around like this, when will it end? The man you are looking for won't dare to marry you when he sees your conditions, right?"
She glanced at Gu Jinshui and others meaningfully. Although she didn't dare to say it too bluntly, her meaning was that Shanhu's reputation would be ruined if he followed them.
"Who said that? I am willing!"
A crisp female voice sounded at the door.
Gu Jinshui and others looked back and saw a girl with a big braid and dark skin standing at the door. The girl was wearing simple clothes, a gray jacket and black pants that were washed white.
"Da Lin, this, this is none of your business, go home."
Shan Hu seemed to know the girl and waved to her.
But the girl bit her lip and raised her chin and walked in directly, "Shan Hu, do you think I'm joking? I'm serious. If you are willing, let's go get the marriage certificate now."
Huh?
Gu Jinshui almost burned his hand with the cigarette butt.
He quickly flicked the ash, stomped out the cigarette butt with his foot, and then looked at Shanhu, "Shanhu, who is this girl?"
"A girl in our compound, she used to help me collect waste."
Shanhu scratched the back of his head. What he didn't say was that he had saved this girl once before. A compound like this is full of all kinds of people.
Although Dalin was a little darker, he was in good shape, and he often went in and out of the place to work and do odd jobs to support his mother and sister. Therefore, someone targeted him and blocked him in the alley in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Shanhu heard the noise outside that night and ran out to beat the people away, so Dalin was not in trouble.
Shanhu said to Dalin, "Don't make a fuss. You are a little girl, don't talk nonsense about marriage. Go home. It's none of your business."
"I'm serious. I agree to this. My mother agrees too. If you dislike me, just pretend I didn't say anything." Dalin looked at Shanhu, "But I really like you. Even if, even if you do that, I am willing to marry you."
Gu Jinshui and Douzi looked at each other.
Douzi asked with his eyes: Is that what you mean?
Gu Jinshui nodded: It must be that what you mean. This girl is awesome enough to marry this!
Shanhu didn't say anything, but his lips moved.
Dalin's face flushed at first, then gradually lost its color. She held her hands, her thick eyelashes trembling, "I know, just pretend I didn't say anything."
She turned and walked away. When she went out, she tripped over the door sill and fell to the ground. Her hand was probably scratched, but she didn't say a word.
However, a teardrop fell to the ground.
"Ah,"
Douzi looked at her with heartache.
The girl stood up and walked away without crying.
"What kind of person is this? It's really strange. In this day and age, there are still people who come to pay for their love."
The sister-in-law said with a sneer.
Gu Jinshui ignored her and patted Shanhu, "Why are you standing there?"
"Me."
Shanhu was a little at a loss.
Gu Jinshui immediately said, "Hurry up and chase after him. I finally mustered up the courage to tell you what's in my heart. If you run out and something happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Yes, yes." Shanhu's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he chased after him without thinking.
Gu Jinshui looked at Shanmu and his wife and smiled, "What's the matter? Do you want to wait here?"
Shanmu and his wife dared to yell at Shanhu, but they were afraid of Gu Jinshui, who was so smiling, and left with a wry smile.
At dusk.
Gu Jinshui brought a piece of meat home and said to He Chunlian, "Mom, we won't cook at home tomorrow night."
"What? Are you treating?" He Chunlian joked.
Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "It's not me, Shanhu is treating. He got the marriage certificate today, and he will invite our whole family to the wedding tomorrow night."
He Chunlian was surprised, and she stopped cutting the dishes. She wiped her hands on her apron, "No, what's the matter? Didn't you say that the previous one was cancelled?"
"Now it's a new one." Gu Jinshui looked at the fried meat sauce next to him, and he pinched a small piece and put it into his mouth. He was patted on the back of his hand, "You don't even wash your hands before eating. You are not as hygienic as your daughter."
Gu Yousi, who was named, was holding half an apple in his hand and grinding it slowly with his front teeth. He raised his head when he heard it, which was considered a response.
"Hey, isn't it normal for my daughter to be better than me?"
Gu Jinshui was very proud.
He Chunlian was speechless. Even the thick-skinned wall was not as thick as his. "What's the matter with the new one? Can there be a new and an old one in this marriage?"
"Don't tell me, this is really unheard of."
Speaking of this, Gu Jinshui found it very interesting. He told the story of how Lin Lu came to confess, how Shanhu was frightened, how Lin Lu ran away, how Shanhu chased her, how the two of them talked, and when they came back, their faces were red, and then they went to Lin's house to tell Lin's mother, and Lin's mother directly asked the two of them to get the marriage certificate.
In less than two hours, Shanhu went from single to married.
Gu Jinshui was stunned, even He Chunlian, an old-fashioned person, was stunned. She slapped her thigh and said, "This is really strange. I said Shanhu would have good fortune in the future. Now it is proven!"
Gu Jinshui's lips twitched.
His mother didn't say that before. She said that if Shanhu became a bachelor in the future, they, the brothers, would have to help him.
