Because of the presence of outsiders, the Bai family members stopped making trouble, and Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier stopped making trouble...
However, Chen Juxiang grabbed Li Cui'er and went into Li Cui'er's room.
Tang Liren was busy greeting reporters Zhang and Ma, asking Bai Xingxing to move stools and Bai Lili to pour tea.
Every family has its own problems.
So reporter Zhang and reporter Ma pretended not to know what had just happened, sat in the courtyard, and began the interview with Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren.
First, Tang Liren briefly introduced Bai Zhenggan's physical recovery: they went to the town hospital for a follow-up visit yesterday, and the doctor said that Lao Bai's condition was still good. Now Lao Bai can take care of his basic life on his own, and he will need about three or four months of rest to fully recover.
Then Bai Zhenggan also said a lot. Although he couldn't go to work for the time being due to his health, he never gave up his duties as the village party secretary. He would definitely remember the leader's teachings of "serving the people" and do his job well...
The interview process was very pleasant and smooth.
When the interview was over, Bai Xingxing timidly ran over to the two reporters and asked if they could take a few photos for them.
Tang Liren cleared her throat and was about to scold her daughter for being ignorant, but when she saw the two reporters agreed readily?
She immediately started to make arrangements. "Xing'er, go and close the door (don't let others know). What clothes did Taotao wear today? Change her into something neat! Lizi? Lizi, quickly tidy yourself up! Hongdou and Huangdou, come here quickly. Grandma will change your clothes! Hongdou, go and ask your mother to comb your hair again! Uh, boss, cover the rope that ties the wooden board..."
After the chaos and war, Tang Li discovered that her three daughters were all dressed up beautifully, especially Bai Lili, who had a nice haircut. She was so beautiful that she couldn't recognize her at all?
"Hey, Li Zi! Are you our Li Zi? How come you have become so beautiful? I didn't recognize you!" Tang Liren finally showed a real smile.
Bai Lili was a little shy, she lowered her head and said nothing.
The two reporters invited the Bai family to come over and take pictures.
Bai Taotao is the treasure of the eldest family. Besides, she is pretty, so everyone wants to take a photo with her.
For Bai Taotao, she doesn't even know what taking photos means. But everyone seems to be interested, so... let’s take a picture!
The women of the Bai family who stayed behind in the courtyard all ran out to take pictures.
Except Chen Juxiang and Li Cui'er.
Finally, Bai Xingxing blushed again and asked her reporter colleague to take a solo photo for her.
After the reporter finished taking pictures of her, she asked where to get the photos back.
Reporter Zhang thought for a moment and said, "We don't seem to have any other missions to go to the countryside recently... How about this, if you are in a hurry, you can come to the county town to pick it up in a couple of days. If you are not in a hurry, then... we will deliver it to you next time we go to the countryside?"
Bai Xingxing plucked up the courage to ask reporter Zhang for the address of the county newspaper.
Next, the two reporters said they wanted to leave. Tang Liren tried to keep them for dinner, but failed. So she gave the two reporters two bamboo tubes of tea that she had picked and roasted herself.
She also told Bai Lili to take the reporter to the village entrance, and reminded him that it had rained last night and the ground was slippery, so he should take a longer route and avoid the muddiest part of the road. She also said that it was okay to walk a few more steps, but he had to be careful not to dirty the reporter's shoes...
While Tang Liren was dealing with the reporters, Bai Taotao kept staring at Chen Lanfen and Sun Xiumei.
If for no other reason, Taotao's eyesight had only been restored yesterday. She had not been able to remember her second sister-in-law Chen Lanfen's face before, nor did she recognize her voice. Now she was staring at her second sister-in-law...
Chen Lanfen looks average, with fair skin, a thin body, and a surprisingly big belly.
For some reason, she sat aside, looking lost and sad.
Sun Xiumei sat next to Chen Lanfang, looking at her constantly, as if she had a lot to say, but nothing she said, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak. ? ?
Bai Taotao didn't know Sun Xiumei, so she called Hongdou over and asked who that was.
Hongdou is six years old and is very smart. She can explain it clearly in just a few words.
"Fourth aunt, she is Xiumei! Our grandmother (Chen Juxiang) and grandfather were married later in life. Grandma was married before, and her first son stayed with her husband's family. Xiumei is also the granddaughter of grandmother, but she is not from our family."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Xiu Mei and our second sister-in-law are cousins from another room!"
Bai Taotao counted on her fingers for a long time and finally understood:
——Chen Lanfen is his second sister-in-law and the wife of his second brother Bai Nansheng. She is also the distant niece of Chen Juxiang!
——Sun Xiumei is the granddaughter of Chen Juxiang and her ex-husband!
Bai Taotao had just figured out the relationship between Chen Lanfen and Sun Xiumei and her family. Tang Liren arranged for Bai Lili to send the two reporters out, then turned around and told Bai Xingxing, "Xing'er, go to the team and call your eldest brother back!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Tang Liren and Bai Zhenggan are both people of good family background and are very strong-willed. They claim to be village cadres and elders, and always regard themselves as role models for the villagers and their families...
Bai Dongsheng is at work right now, why did you suddenly send someone to call him back?
Isn't this a hindrance? !
"Xing'er, go quickly!" Tang Liren shouted again.
Bai Xingxing looked at her mother's expression, didn't dare to ask any more questions, and ran away quickly.
Bai Taotao noticed that her second sister-in-law Chen Lanfen's face had turned even paler. She was slumped in the armchair, her mouth slightly open, breathing heavily, like a fish out of water and about to die.
What exactly happened? ? ?
Tan Fenghui, with her big belly, cleaned up the mess in the yard that had just been made because of the photo shoot, and came over to ask Tang Liren, "Mom, what's wrong? Why did you call Dongsheng back?"
Tang Liren stared at Tan Fenghui's big belly for a while and asked, "Hui'er, how many months have you been pregnant?"
"It's been more than eight months," Tan Fenghui said in surprise, "You took me to the hospital for a check-up yesterday! The due date is June 27th!"
The atmosphere at home was really strange. Tan Fenghui looked at her gloomy mother-in-law, then looked at her pale sister-in-law Chen Lanfen, and then thought about the unpleasant things that had happened between her and her sister-in-law recently...
Tan Fenghui understood and said, "Don't worry, Mom! My situation is different from Lanfen's. I am giving birth to my third child, and Lanfen is giving birth to her first. You just need to take care of her. I'm fine. Lili and Xing'er will help me. It's fine for me to give birth on my own!"
"Besides, I'm eight months pregnant and Lanfen is only six months. After I give birth to the baby and the baby is one month old, it will be Lanfen's turn! By that time, I will have recovered. If you still want to go to work, that's fine. I can still take care of Lanfen and the baby at home..."
While Tan Fenghui kept explaining and comforting, Tang Liren's eyes were fixed on Chen Lanfen's belly, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth in her eyes. ? ?
After a while, Bai Dongsheng rushed over, "Mom and Dad, you called me back in a hurry... What's the matter?"
Tang Liren shouted, "Xing'er, close the door first!"
Bai Xingxing, who had just run into the yard and fell behind, closed the gate breathlessly.
Tang Liren said, "Dongsheng, go to the post office in town right away and send an urgent telegram to Nansheng, telling him that there is an emergency at home and asking him to come back immediately!"
Bai Dongsheng was stunned. "Why? Nansheng joined the army in early February, and it's early May now. It's only been three months! Even if we take into account my sister-in-law's due date, he won't be allowed to come back until August..."
Tang Liren picked up a broom and hit Bai Dongsheng with it, angrily saying, "I told you to send an urgent telegram to Nansheng right now, asking him to come back! Are you deaf? Blind? Or dumb?"
Everyone was stunned.
——Tang Liren has a fierce and strong personality, but she has endless patience when dealing with her family.
Bai Dongsheng is the eldest son in the family. He is the right-hand man of Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren. In the past two years, he has been regarded as the pillar of the family.
But now he was beaten and scolded by Tang Liren?
It can be seen that the matter is really serious.
No one dared to say a word. Hongdou and Huangdou were so scared that they tried their best to squeeze into Bai Taotao's arms.
Bai Dongsheng turned to Tan Fenghui and said, "Hui'er, go get me a dollar, I'll leave now."
Tan Fenghui quickly went into the house to get the money.
Tang Liren then said to Bai Dongsheng, "Reporter Zhang and Reporter Ma are coming to interview your father today. Lizi will take a detour to send them to the village entrance. You should hurry to the village entrance and take their ride to town."
Chen Lanfen couldn't help but yelled, "Mom..."
Tang Liren ignored Chen Lanfen and urged Bai Dongsheng with a sullen face, "Go quickly!"
Bai Dongsheng glanced at Chen Lanfen, took the money handed to him by his wife, turned around and walked away with big strides.
The Bai family's yard remained silent.
Everyone had guessed that Tang Liren was so anxious to urge Bai Dongsheng to send an urgent telegram to urge Nansheng to come back, it must be...
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Lanfen.
——It must be related to Chen Lanfen?
At this time, Chen Juxiang came out of Li Cui'er's room cursing, and Li Cui'er followed her crying.
"Mom, that money was really earned by our Zhenglang. How can I explain to Zhenglang later if you just take it away like that..."
"The money is yours? Then why does your money smell like duck shit? Did Zhenglang also go to pick out duck shit yesterday? Or did you also go to pick out duck shit?"
"Mom! The money didn't smell like duck shit. It was because you touched my money that it smelled like duck shit."
"Nonsense! I didn't pick out duck shit this morning!"
Li Cui'er was still crying, "Mom, you can't bully us younger generations like this..."
Perhaps because Li Cui'er refused to admit it and was still stubborn, Chen Juxiang got annoyed and stood still, yelling, "If you didn't steal this money from me, then tell me clearly how you got it!"
Li Cui'er hesitated, "This, this... this is me..."
Chen Juxiang, "Don't tell me you saved it! You've been married to our Bai family for twenty years, don't I know you? As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what kind of shit you're going to do! You've squandered all of the fourth brother's assets a long time ago! If it weren't for his three brothers helping you, you wouldn't have dragged the fourth brother and the three kids to starve to death! And eat shit!"
Li Cui'er was scolded so badly that she couldn't even raise her head.
All the members of the Bai family turned their heads to look at Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier, forgetting their own troubles for a moment.
Chen Juxiang continued to scold Li Cuier, "I am not holding you responsible for stealing my money now because of the fourth child and my three fat grandchildren. If you dare to argue with me again and say that the money is yours, I will..."
When she was cursing to this point, Chen Juxiang suddenly turned around and saw the family from the big house standing or sitting in the yard?
She was stunned and found that Chen Lanfen was back? Hey, why is Sun Xiumei here too?
Chen Juxiang was about to ask, but she heard her silly granddaughter Bai Taotao curiously ask: "Grandma, if my fourth aunt still dares to argue with you and say that the money is hers, then you...what?"
Chen Juxiang subconsciously said: "I will... tear her apart alive!"
Bai Taotao was happy and smiled at Li Cuier with her chin raised.
Li Cui'er was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!
But she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and stamp her feet!
Oh, it really makes me angry!
