Zhao Meiya was picking up pickled vegetables, her eyes shining as she looked at the people in front of her and listened to what they said attentively.
"Let me tell you, Chen Pengxiao was originally dating Chen Wanli, but he snatched her away. Old Chen was so angry he didn't speak for several days."
"No way, didn't they fall in love with each other when they first met on a blind date and get married right away?"
"Nonsense, Chen Wanli met her outside. They dated for about half a month. The girl's family was okay, with both her parents working. She didn't like Chen Wanli and didn't agree with them being together."
Du Chunhua put the washed radish aside and continued to scrub the next one, then said, "Chen Wanli is a fool. He asked his brother for advice to help him please his future father-in-law. Now, will Chen Pengxiao give him the good thing?
Or maybe he's cunning and went to the girl's house under the pretext of mediating for his brother, not to mention how happy he made her parents, and they're going to marry their daughter to him in a few days."
"He was already more handsome than Chen Wanli, his skin was even whiter, and he was good at talking and making people happy. After spending a few days with him, the girl fell in love with him, and then the two families began to discuss the marriage."
"Oh, no wonder Chen Wanli suddenly insisted on going to the countryside. If Old Chen hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to the Youth League Office to fill in his name."
"Chen Pengxiao is the same. As an older brother, not only does he not give in to his younger brother, he even wants to steal his partner. How immoral!"
"As long as they can get the benefits, why should we care? I heard that my father-in-law's family is trying to find a connection for him and send him to work in the steel mill."
"real?"
"Why would I lie to you? Didn't you see Chen Pengxiao immediately take his wife to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year after finishing his family reunion dinner? If he wasn't afraid of what others would say, I think he would have wanted to bring Old Chen to reunite with her."
"I was wondering, when he came back just now, he really took a lot of bags.
So people, sometimes it is better to be shameless than to be shameless.”
"Hey, Chunhua, how do you know so much? We haven't even heard of it."
Du Chunhua stood up and put the red-frozen water on the fire to warm it up. "Hey, Chen Pengxiao's wife's sister-in-law works as a waitress in our restaurant. I heard her say that last time.
She was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, saying that she was always asking for money with a shameless face, and she felt that she was living there and had no home.
"If Old Chen heard this, he would be so angry that he would die."
"Both sons are not worry-free. Isn't Chen Wanli looking for a partner? What do you think?"
"What else can he do? His last date became my sister-in-law, and now he hides when he hears about blind dates. He must be scared."
When they had almost finished talking, He Ruixue came forward and said, "Mom, come back with me and rest for a while. I see that your face has lost all color."
Zhao Meiya was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay a little longer, so everyone tried to persuade her.
"Aunt Zhao, please go back. I was just about to say this. You are so old and you still don't take care of your health."
"Don't worry, I'll hide the big meaty bones for you later and leave them just for you."
Someone said with envy, "Look at how filial Xiao He is. He took you in to enjoy the good life and didn't want you to do any work at all."
"She's also very capable. Not only was she able to arrange for my brother and his wife, she was also able to transfer your household registration. Are you comfortable living in this big house in the city?"
"Your life is worth it. Your children are all promising, which is good for you. If it were me, I would probably enjoy a lot more happiness."
Zhao Meiya was happy to hear someone praising her daughter, and even wanted to stay and listen for a while longer.
However, she was even more reluctant to let He Ruixue stand in the cold wind for a long time, so she said goodbye to the Li family and went back.
As soon as they left, everyone started talking again.
"The He family is on the rise. Not only have Chunsheng and Xiao He become cadres, but I heard that her second son-in-law is even more amazing.
My father-in-law has a comrade who said he's been promoted to regimental commander. The higher-ups think highly of him, and he might even become a commander in the future."
"That's incredible. Both of He Xia's children have her last name, right?"
"Yeah, or maybe it's because she's capable. No matter how high her husband's official position is, she has the final say at home."
"He Xiasheng has been a strong-willed person since she was young. She ran to the battlefield alone, bloody and drenched, but she wasn't afraid at all. She bandaged people under bullets, and her hands were steadier than anyone else. How could an ordinary person have her ability?"
"I heard she became director a few years ago. Did she get promoted?"
"I don't know. The He family doesn't like to talk about her."
Xu Laosan’s wife is called Cheng Xiaojuan. She didn’t do much work since she came here, but she secretly ate a lot of radishes and fried fish.
She said casually, "She only cares about her own little family. She didn't come back for the New Year this year. If I were her, I would be heartbroken too."
Du Chunhua glared at her and said bluntly, "You think she's just chatting at home like you? You can imagine how busy the military hospital is. How could she have the time? Besides, even though she didn't come back, she sent all the things.
I remember you even exchanged a few pounds of kelp and dried shrimp with Aunt Zhao. Why, it doesn't count just because you ate them?"
Meng Yuqin, her sister-in-law, didn't help her. She picked up the knife and chopped the pig's trotter into several pieces. She agreed, "Yes, you are the most filial in the world. When you go back to your parents' home on the second day of the New Year, I want to see what you bring back."
Facing this sister-in-law who is naturally strong and willing to take risks, Cheng Xiaojuan dared not offend her.
Not only her, but no one in the Xu family dared to do that.
Her mother-in-law only spoke softly to this daughter-in-law. After all, this person has a crazy energy. If she gets angry, no matter who you are, she will really dare to hit you.
Since the Xu family has many men, there is no need to be too afraid of her.
