Chapter 376: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossip - The sickly young aunt eats melons in the courtyard
Cen Xi then said to himself: "Another point, it seems that many people know about this matter, so why didn't it become a big deal? Doesn't this Counsellor Sun have any enemies?" Why didn't they tell him about it?
Lin Qing thought about it and said hesitantly: "...Maybe it's just popular among private people, but the higher-ups don't know about it!"
Mother Cen nodded. "If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it. If the company commander hadn't reported it, it would have been hard to say."
Lin Qing nodded, "Right!"
Cen Xi thought carefully with his high-speed brain. If she really didn't report it, it seemed that there was nothing he could do to her.
"She won't get away with it so easily this time, will she?" The two of them had a fight in the family yard, and it was such a big fuss that even people from the Women's Federation came to mediate. This had a big enough impact.
The mother of Cen, who had lived here longer than them, nodded and said, "It won't be so easy to get away this time. The person who beat him is not someone who can be easily bullied. She beat the wife of Counselor Sun into a pig's head today. I guess she won't let her off so easily."
"Yeah, her face is so swollen that you can't tell she looked like the day she came to our house." Lin Qing echoed.
Cen Xi didn't see it because he was quite far away. By the time everyone had dispersed, the two people who were fighting had already been taken away by the Women's Federation staff.
"That's what she deserves. Listening to what you said, wow, wow, wow, wow, it's simply none of our business."
"Yeah." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed very much.
"Actually, I don't understand why other people didn't make trouble for her?" Lin Qing was a little curious about this. After all, it was said that she had been successful before. Why didn't other women who were forced to divorce make trouble for her?
Mother Cen didn't know either. She used to be a workaholic and didn't know anything about the outside world. How could she know so much?
To be honest, she has heard more gossip in the past two days than in the past few decades. She has really seen the world!
It turns out that wherever there are many people, it is lively!
She remembered that when Lin Qing told her the gossip about the compound, she said that their small compound had no more people than their family compound, so why were there so many things going on?
It turns out that there are a lot of things going on in their family, but she didn't know much about it before. She feels a little regretful when she thinks about it. How much gossip has she missed?
The three of them chatted for a while, and after listening to the gossip, Cen Xi went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Mother Cen and Lin Qing started talking about their big compound again, and they haven't finished talking about the previous gossip yet!
"Your compound is really lively!"
"That's right. Ever since my mother came to live with us in our compound..." Lin Qing said while glancing at Mother Cen, fearing that she would mind.
However, when Mother Cen saw the doubt in her eyes, she knew what she was thinking. She just patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Having an old person in the family is like having a treasure! Your parents living with you two young people is like having two treasures in the family. I feel more at ease!"
Mother Cen had also heard about the situation at her daughter-in-law's family, and she quite agreed with her daughter-in-law's plan to take care of her parents in their old age.
The daughter-in-law's parents had a daughter when they were old. Except for raising the older child, they spent almost all their life savings on the daughter-in-law. The older child is unreliable, and there is no one else they can rely on except the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law can stand up at the critical moment, which is what she appreciates.
Lin Qing laughed as well, "Well, after my parents moved in with us, Brother Nan and I felt a lot more relaxed. We even gained a lot of weight!"
"Haha! Indeed, when you two came back this time, I found that he seemed to be stronger." This is the happiest thing for a mother. Every mother hopes that her children can eat healthily and be strong.
"He is stronger than when we first got married. He forgets to sleep and eat when he starts researching. I always have to remind him every time they close their doors to research."
Mother Cen patted her hands and said, "You did a great job on this matter. I have to say a few more words. He has such a bad temper. If I don't say a few more words, he won't listen."
"Mom, please stop slandering me, okay?" Cen Xi suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen.
He felt a little helpless. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't even bother to lower their voices when talking. Didn't they know that he, the person involved, was in the kitchen?
Lin Qing and her mother-in-law laughed together.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him anymore."
"Okay! Let's continue with what we were talking about before. After my parents moved in, this radio doesn't want to be played anymore."
"Who would listen to the radio when there's so much going on every day? Maybe listening to the radio isn't as interesting as watching the fun!" Ever since she heard Lin Qing's gossip, she felt that there was nothing more interesting than this.
"Yeah, that's true!" Lin Qing nodded in agreement.
"Hey, is that toilet you mentioned yesterday collapsed?"
"Yes, they crushed it."
"Tsk, tsk, I've never seen, or even heard of, someone enduring so much toilet time."
"Mom, don't talk about you. This is the first time I've seen this in my life, too! I've never heard of this before! It was a big news in our city at the time, and many people even came here specially to see that toilet!"
Mother Cen was shocked. This was really strange!
"So is it true that the old bachelor in your hospital was having an affair with that widow?"
Lin Qing wanted to nod but shook his head again. "The relationship between the two has always been very ambiguous. I don't know if they are together or not. I haven't caught them in the act, so it's hard to say."
"His wife is so annoying." Mother Cen remembered that this old bachelor got married later.
Lin Qing didn't like Wang Qiaomei very much, but she didn't feel sorry for her either. "Mom, don't think that way. The two of them are at most a match made in heaven. Neither of them is that good."
"Ah? Is there something else going on?"
"Yeah." Lin Qing still found it difficult to explain the past.
Lin Qing revealed the conspiracy between Wang Qiaomei and Wang Jiaojiao's ex-boyfriend.
Mother Cen was furious. "How could there be such a vicious couple?"
"Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry. They are both in a bad situation now. The man went to the countryside, and the woman married an old bachelor who already has someone in his heart, right?"
“You deserve it!” These were the only two words Mother Cen uttered in the end.
Cen Xi prepared the meal quickly, and the three of them ate and chatted at home. They avoided gossip that was not harmful to their diet, such as anything related to the cesspool. It was better not to talk about such disgusting things during meals.
