Several neighbor ladies saw Liang's mother carrying the heavy pig's trotters and laughed and joked.

"It's not a happy event, I bought it from a street stall. They said it was a pig they raised at home, and it fell to its death in the mountains. The price is half the price of the market. We haven't had meat at home for a long time, so it's time to give the children some nutrition."

After hearing what she said, several aunties from the neighborhood also ran to the entrance of the alley.

I’m afraid that if I’m slow I’ll miss out on the bargain.

Liang's mother hummed a little tune and went home happily.

It had been seven or eight days since the quarrel with Shen Hongmei, and no one from the court or the police station had come to look for her, which made her sure that the matter was over. That's why she was willing to spend money to buy a big pig's trotter to calm herself.

During this period, she was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she lost a lot of weight.

In addition, my daughter now has a job and is starting to earn money for the family.

All these things made Liang's mother feel happy.

Boil a large pot of hot water and soak the soybeans. Then clean the fat pig's trotters and chop them into small pieces with a hatchet.

There are many mouths to feed at home, and if the meat is chopped into large pieces, each person will have one piece and it will be gone.

After chopping the meat and soaking the soybeans, pour them into a large pot, add water and ginger, and stew on the coal stove.

It has to be stewed until the evening, when the pig's trotters are tender and sticky with soybean flour, and the meat melts in your mouth when you take a bite.

hiss.

Liang's mother swallowed hard, took the key, locked the door, and prepared to go to the kindergarten to pick up her grandchildren after school.

As soon as I went out, I saw several neighbors gathered together, showing off the meat they bought, and each of them had a smiling face as big as a chrysanthemum.

Liang's mother also came over.

Aunt Zhou on the left bought a whole rack of ribs, Sister Li on the right bought ten pounds of fatty pork belly, and Aunt Liu across the street bought a pig's head and five pounds of pork fat.

Liang's mother looked at them with great interest and was as happy as if she had bought them herself.

After talking about the meat, a neighbor lady suddenly asked about Liang Ke'an's marriage.

"Your Ke'an has been looking for girls for so long, but none of them worked out? I think you shouldn't be so picky. Ke'an is already this old, and his family is in this situation. It would be great if there is a girl willing to marry him."

The neighbors' advice was well-intentioned, but to Liang's mother it sounded extremely harsh and heartbreaking.

The third son, Liang Ke'an, was a college student that her whole family had worked hard to train. He was once her face and pride.

Before Liang Ke'an graduated from university, everyone envied her for having a capable and promising son.

But as time went by, Liang Ke'an never got married, and everyone's envy turned into ridicule and gossip.

Liang's mother was so embarrassed that she angrily found fault with all the blind date candidates. Out of revenge, she emphasized the fact that Shen Hongmei had an abortion.

She was not allowed to say it, but she insisted on saying it! "... Tell me, would you want a daughter-in-law like this? Anyway, my family would not want one!"

They are all a group of middle-aged and elderly women who are mothers-in-law. Putting themselves in the roles, they naturally share the same hatred for blind dates like Shen Hongmei.

Listening to the neighbors' condemnation and criticism, Liang's mother felt relieved.

She still doesn't believe that she can't cure this bitch.

From then on, she would talk about it secretly behind his back, and she didn't believe that Mr. Shen could do anything to her.

Just as I was thinking about it, a postal bicycle stopped in front of me.

"Fan Wensu, registered letter!"

Liang's mother was illiterate, so after receiving the letter, she asked the postman to help her check who sent it.

The postman glanced at the return address on the envelope, replied "from the court," and rode away on his bike.

Liang's mother was stunned by the word "court".

"Aunt Fan, why would the court send you a letter?"

"Hiss, are you in trouble?"

Liang's mother's head was buzzing and she had no idea how to answer.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the neighbor simply took the letter from her and prepared to open it.

"Subpoena from Fengcheng People's Court...Case: Dispute over infringement of others' privacy and reputation..."

A busybody not only read out the contents of the subpoena, but also read it very loudly, and a group of onlookers gathered around.

"Let me see, what's going on?"

In this way, the court summons, which was like a death warrant for Liang's mother, was passed from one person to another.

Liang's mother was so angry and anxious that she fainted without even catching her breath.

…

It was an hour later when Liang's mother woke up.

After receiving the news, the whole family took leave and rushed back home, and the grandchildren who were in kindergarten were also picked up.

The grandchildren were still young and unaware of the changes in the family. They were laughing and playing in the yard without any care in the world.

The three sons of the Liang family, as well as Liang Xiling, the four siblings, were crowded in Liang's mother's room, looking gloomy and depressed.

The two daughters-in-law were busy preparing lunch in the cramped small kitchen.

Liang Xiling was the first to notice that Liang's mother was awake, "Mom, are you awake?"

Hearing this, the three sons, who were originally frowning, looked towards the bed at the same time.

Mother Liang recalled what happened before she fainted and quickly sat up, "Where's the letter?"

Boss Liang pointed to the old cabinet with peeling paint against the wall and said, "It's over there."

Liang's mother quickly took the letter and handed it to Liang Ke'an, "Ke'an, take a look, what does this letter say?"

Liang Ke'an didn't answer the letter because he already knew the contents of the letter.

Not only did he know about it, but all the neighbors in the entire alley knew about it.

His mother is going to be sued for gossiping, and now he is too embarrassed to go out.

Liang Xiling couldn't help but say, "Mom, Shen Hongmei really sued you, it's all over now!"

Liang's mother was struck by lightning.

She looked anxiously at the third brother, Liang Ke'an, "Ke'an, didn't Chen Liang plead for her? Why is she suing me? How could she go back on her word?"

Liang Ke'an couldn't answer at all.

Because he was not sure whether Chen Liang really pleaded for him, he had not been able to contact Chen Liang these days.

The Liang family elder said: "It's no use talking about this now, let's find a lawyer for Mom first."

Mother Liang was unwilling to give up and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"Mom, no matter how many ways we have, they can't beat your powerful mouth."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Liang family walked into the house with a tone full of sarcasm.

Liang's second sister-in-law followed closely behind, "Mom, you are already old, why can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Under normal circumstances, if the two daughters-in-law dared to speak to Liang's mother like this, the three sons of the Liang family would have spoken up long ago.

But today, the three of them were like gourds with their mouths sawed off, silent.

They also had complaints and dissatisfaction towards Liang's mother.

He knew that he was involved in a lawsuit, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself and kept gossiping with the neighbors.

Now, everyone knows that their family is going to be sued because of gossiping. I wonder how many people outside are laughing at them.

Liang's mother defended herself with a guilty conscience, "How could I have known that she would really sue me? What a rotten world this is. People who tell the truth are punished, but a slut like her is protected by the law. It's really unfair."

The whole family was furious at Liang's mother's ignorance and stupidity.

But we can't really just ignore this matter.

The eldest brother of the Liang family looked at Liang Ke'an and said, "Ke'an, how about you go and talk to Shen Hongmei about this?" (End of this chapter)
