Chapter 168 What Did the Pig Do?
"Yes, Hu Zi's mother, Qiu Zi and Xia Xia didn't eat a single grain of rice or noodles from you in vain. How come your daughter-in-law says that the Xue family is the savior of the brother and sister?" The old lady who just stuck her head out and said with a sigh.
Xue's mother said with an unpleasant expression: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. My daughter-in-law is a little narrow-minded and doesn't speak well. She heard others say something about Hu Zi and Xia Xia, and she kept it in mind. Pregnant women are hot-tempered, and they say things in anger, so don't take them seriously.
"Qiuzi, Xiaxia, don't take it to heart. Our two families have been friends for so many years, don't you know what kind of people your uncle and aunt and Huzi are?"
An Zhixia poked her head out from behind her brother and said, "It's because I know who you are that I feel chilled. I'm afraid it's not that Dong Yun who thinks the Xue family is our savior, but you who are so shameless and self-righteous, right?"
She never liked to play tricks, nor did she like to be bullied. Did Dong Yun have a bad mouth? She looked like she had just crawled out of a cesspool!
Just saying "small-minded" or "pregnant woman" can make it go away? Xue's mother is so shameless! Doesn't she know how important a woman's reputation is in this era?
"Zhixia, what do you mean?" Xue's mother frowned. "I have a good relationship with your mother, and I really love you as my own children. But you also know that Huzi has many sisters, and our family conditions are also very ordinary, so the help we can give you is limited. I can't say that it's a life-saving grace, but the friendship of the past ten years is still there, right?"
An Zhixia sneered, "Before I left Kyoto, I had a high fever and almost died. Do you know why?"
Seeing that the old ladies and old men from the neighborhood were leaning against the windows to watch the fun, Xue's mother didn't want to continue arguing. "It happened two years ago, how could I remember? Don't you still have to go back home to pay New Year's greetings? Hurry up and don't delay the afternoon bus. Huzi, why don't you go and see Qiuzi and Xiaxia off. We can talk again after the New Year when we have time."
"You are not allowed to send that little vixen from the An family away!" Dong Yun cornered Xue Guofei and said with her arms stretched out.
"Xia Xia, what's going on?" An Zhiqiu asked word by word with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Hu Zi's mother, do you have anything to do with this? Why don't you let people speak up? Xia Xia, just tell us, we, the aunts and grandparents, will make the decision for you and your sister!"
"Things of the past..." Xue's mother said with a very ugly smile.
"No," An Zhiqiu looked at the girl, "Xia Xia, just tell us here in front of everyone what happened in the first place! Why did you get the fever and involve the Xue family!"
"I was a little confused because of the fever, and I had a blurry memory of some people and things. I had to think hard or meet someone familiar to remember what happened," An Zhixia bit her lip and spoke with a stuffy pain in her chest. "I just remembered it. Maybe those are bad memories, so I blocked them out automatically."
"I used to have the habit of reading early in the morning. I was supposed to go collect firewood that day, but halfway there I realized I had forgotten my textbook, so I turned back home and happened to hear Aunt Xue and Aunt Kang talking in the house."
"Did you hear it wrong? I dislike Kang Xiaohua as much as you do. How could I possibly talk to her in the room?" Xue's mother quickly shook her head and denied it.
"Go on," An Zhiqiu looked at his sister with red eyes.
"Qi Guoqiang and Qi Lijuan were originally going to a village near Kyoto as educated youth. Even if we took their place, we should have gone to the suburbs of Kyoto. But it was Aunt Xue who was usually nice to us who pulled strings with Aunt Kang and forcibly sent us to a small mountain village in Jiangzhou thousands of miles away!
The reason was particularly funny, because her son had set his eyes on me, an orphan with no money, no power, no job and no mother, and insisted on marrying me. She was afraid that her son would act without her permission, so she had to ask someone to send my brother and me far away.
Haha, Xue Guofei and my brother grew up together, otherwise I wouldn't even look at him. Is he better looking than my brother, or is he smarter than us, or is he taller and has a straight figure?
A short, dark, fat, dead-faced steamed bread, only you two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, treat it like a treasure and hide it in your arms, afraid that others will miss it. "
"You are confusing right and wrong!" Dong Yun was furious when she heard her husband being belittled like this. "It's obvious that you saw that our Xue family is well-off, and several sisters married workers and became temporary workers, so they can help their parents. My Guofei's parents are both third- and fourth-level workers, and Guofei has no brothers. In the entire Hetaoer Hutong, there is no family with better conditions than the Xue family.
I see that you failed to throw yourself into my arms, and instead you threw dirty water on my Guofei. When you came in just now, didn’t you call out “Brother Huzi”? If you didn’t know, you would have thought you were calling out “your lover!”
"If you say one more word, I won't care whether you are pregnant or not, I will still beat you to a pulp!" An Zhiqiu said fiercely, gritting his teeth.
Every day, girls ask him to take care of his skin and exercise together. As a man, his face is white and smooth in winter, his body is strong, and he looks more handsome and tall. In addition, he has started a family and taken on responsibilities in the past year, and has experienced a lot of things, so he has a layer of steady and mature masculinity.
His face became serious, and he actually had the aura of a superior, which frightened Dong Yun so much that she couldn't help but take a step back and kept silent.
"Ah, so this is why you married into the Xue family. Tsk tsk, if the Xue family is really that good, how come you, a horse-faced girl, got there first?" An Zhixia said with a cold face.
"You, you, I have a job, working as a salesperson at the Walnut Supply and Marketing Cooperative, earning several hundred yuan a month, so I don't need to think about these things at all!" Dong Yun was full of confidence and had a sense of superiority when she said this. "This is called being well-matched."
An Zhixia couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm sorry, other people are like flowers stuck in cow dung, or good cabbages being dug up by pigs. I see you are the pigs digging up cow dung, and one of you thinks you are a flower and the other is a good cabbage.
I just can't bear to burst your sweet dreams! Sorry, sorry, you can continue to daydream and let me laugh for a while longer. "
The people around couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. No matter whether they were regular or temporary workers, no one in the Xue family was idle at home, so they looked at people with squinting eyes more and more in the past two years. Now he married an even more snobbish daughter-in-law. It's true that people from the same family are like one another.
The couple didn't know how to hide when eating delicious food, making the children in the yard clamor for it. Whenever the Xue family bought something delicious, they would show it off everywhere.
Excellent people are not those who put on a show, but those who are recognized by everyone. After hearing An Zhixia's straightforward response, everyone felt relieved and laughed out loud in support.
