There is an ancient saying that is particularly good. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself.
Many people with meticulous minds can judge what the other party is doing recently through some clues.
Chen Xuanxuan's elder brother Chen Daming has never given up his livelihood in these years.
He is an old man, but he is still a peddler who walks the streets and passes through various villages.
Don't look down on the small peddler.
However, the peddler who carries a shoulder pole to sell things everywhere still makes more money.
Chen Daming has been doing business for so many years, and he is very familiar with some villages within a hundred miles, including the people in those villages.
Chen Daming came back to his sister's place several times and found that his sister's father-in-law was sneaky, as if he had done something bad.
So, he had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.
Moreover, he also reported Gu Yu'an's various movements to his mother.
Old lady Liu has lived to this age, and she has seen everything.
She mistakenly thought that her relative-in-law had started to make trouble again.
There are only a few ways for men to make trouble. The first is to find ways to abuse their own women and find faults everywhere.
The second is to think about taking their wife's dowry every day and killing her.
The third is to sell their own wife. Or directly let her go out to sell herself. Or they would temporarily sell their wives to those old bachelors and let them bear children for them...
When she thought of Gu Yu'an treating his daughter in such a mean way, Old Lady Liu could hardly suppress her burning anger.
"Daming, no matter what, you have to help me keep an eye on your brother-in-law's family!"
"I'm really worried about your third sister now..."
At this point, Old Lady Liu couldn't help but have red eyes and almost cried.
"Like back then, I should never have found such a family for your third sister..."
Seeing that the old lady was so sad, Chen Daming quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Mother, it's already this late, don't be too sad."
"After all,... Third sister has been living with this man for so many years, and has given birth to 6 children..."
Old Lady Liu curled her lips after hearing this, and didn't say anything at the time.
However, she held it in for a while, and suddenly spoke out her thoughts.
"Daming, I've seen it clearly a long time ago, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes. None of the children she gave birth to with her man are promising. Not only are they not tolerant, but they are also selfish, just like their grandfather..."
After Old Lady Liu complained to her son for a long time, she took her daughters-in-law to cook.
And from that day on, Chen Daming took his son to visit his third sister's house every day.
Moreover, he told her what he had seen with his own eyes.
When Chen Xuanxuan learned about this, she was shocked.
"Brother, I have lived to this age, and I have only ever heard, 'I am not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid of thieves thinking about it.' You are my real brother, you have lived longer, traveled a lot, and seen more of the world than me. Can you tell me what I should do now?"
After saying this, Chen Xuanxuan said nervously, "Brother, you said there is a thief in this family. He doesn't take good care of the family, but instead colludes with people outside... I don't understand what he wants!"
Chen Daming said, "One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people."
"People, each has their own thoughts."
"Some people like to do things that hurt others and benefit themselves. When they see others suffering, sad, and unhappy with their lives, they feel particularly happy in their hearts."
"Let me give you an example! Take the women living in Wangjia Village. They are all very thin and have nothing to eat or drink every day. However, every time I see other people's men beating their own women, I notice that some women smile so hard that their faces are shabby." When
Chen Xuanxuan heard this, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart, this is perverted...
How can there be such strange people in this world?
Obviously, everyone is not living a happy life and is beaten by their own men. But why are they happy when they see other people's men beating women?
Unable to figure it out, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but say to her eldest brother, "Brother, the people you are talking about are all psychologically unbalanced and perverted. They can't get along well with themselves, so they hope that others can't get along well either..."
Chen Daming was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say a few words.
"Since ancient times, we have always hated those who have and laughed at those who have nothing."
"If our family has no money and no power, and our life is not good, they will come out and step on us at any time."
"If someone's son doesn't get married, they will talk about it every day and every year, until you can't stand up or raise your head."
"If someone's daughter doesn't marry well, especially if she doesn't marry into a rich and powerful family, they will also say that his daughter is a loser..."
After hearing Chen Daming ruthlessly reveal these realities, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Rural life is still complicated.
Rural people are not as simple as she imagined before.
Chen Xuanxuan, who has now completely become an ancient peasant, deeply understands that life in the countryside is not easy.
The reason why it is difficult is very simple.
That is, once you are deeply rooted in the countryside, you must consider the gossips that gossips often talk about.
Walking on the country roads, if you don't take the initiative to greet them, don't say something enthusiastically, or talk about something, they will think you are arrogant, proud and complacent, and look down on country people. If
they come to your door and ask for help, if you don't take the initiative to stand up and help them, then you will become a cold-blooded person in their mouths.
Especially when they come to your door to borrow money.
Lend it to me... I don't have much money on my own, and if I lend it to others, my life will be difficult. Besides, once the money is lent, it can't be taken back. After all, no matter what era this happens in, the one who lends the money is the eldest.
If you don't lend it to me, you will completely offend the other party, and you may be hated by the other party for the rest of your life.
When I think of the interpersonal relationships in the countryside, all kinds of complicated situations, and those people I have to deal with every day. The uncles and aunts are always in front of other people's doors, or they squat at the entrance of the village and gossip about other people's homes... Chen Xuanxuan feels particularly headache.
"Brother,... do you know what I'm thinking now?"
Without waiting for Chen Daming to answer, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but confide in him.
