Zhang Qiurong put the washed clothes into a basin and took it away to Qian Chunhua.
Qian Chunhua stopped, feeling confused, not understanding the meaning of Zhang Qiurong's words just now.
Zhang Qiurong spoke up, with a hint of blame in her voice: "If you ask me, women should be busy at home, and running around outside is a man's job.
Otherwise... it will easily lead to misunderstanding."
She glanced at Qian Chunhua and continued, "You're running away just after your husband died. People will gossip about you."
Qian Chunhua suddenly understood that Zhang Qiurong was talking about how she sent Qingyun to the private school in the morning.
She actually said that she ran away because she had other ideas. What people say is really scary.
Qian Chunhua knew clearly that Zhang Qiurong must have come here specifically to "seek justice" after hearing the gossip from her sister-in-law Li Cuihong.
She sneered in her heart, what does this have to do with you? You are the police of the Pacific, why do you care so much?
But she didn't show it, and just responded calmly: "There's nothing I can do, I can only worry more about my own child.
If I ask the elders to help me send the child, the child will be snatched away by them. "
"What? Stealing the child?" Zhang Qiurong cried out in surprise.
Qian Chunhua looked at Zhang Qiurong in surprise, "You don't know? Last night, the child's uncle forced me to give the child to him for adoption. I didn't want to, and he actually wanted to kick us out and live alone."
Qian Chunhua rubbed his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs, "As soon as the boy's father left, his uncle showed his true colors.
Seeing that my Qingyun is promising, he insisted that I give my child to him. His family already has two sons, and he wants to take my Qingyun away. Now he wants to drive us out, an orphan and a widow. His uncle’s family is really…”
Qian Chunhua did not continue, but just shook his head, sighed and said: "Family disgrace should not be made public, but I..."
She told Zhang Qiurong in bits and pieces about what happened at home yesterday.
She knew that if she didn't tell these things and let the people in the village know, the child might really be taken away by them in the future just because of Li Cuihong's words.
Moreover, she would be accused of being unfaithful to her husband.
Qian Chunhua knew that taking advantage of the pressure from public opinion was also a way to protect himself.
Zhang Qiurong stood aside, at a loss as to what to do. She could only respond with a sympathetic look and repeated “Oh oh oh oh”.
At this time, another woman who was washing clothes, Sun Hongying, the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Wang, had just finished washing clothes and was about to go home.
After hearing what Qian Chunhua said, she was suddenly confused. It turned out that things were not as Li Cuihong said.
Sun Hongying shook her head slightly, and her trust in Li Cuihong was halved again.
Sun Hongying is straightforward and expressed her opinion without any reservation: "I never thought that Li Cuihong's family would be so shameless as to force someone else's eldest son to be adopted."
Before this, Sun Hongying mistakenly believed that Qian Chunhua's character had changed drastically due to her husband's death, and she made an excuse to send her children to a private school, but in fact she was out looking for love.
Now, Qian Chunhua's words made her understand the truth of the matter.
Zhang Qiurong also understood the whole story from Qian Chunhua's narration. She felt a little embarrassed, so she picked up the basin and went home silently.
On the way home, her heart was filled with dissatisfaction with Li Cuihong.
Li Cuihong has always said things that are beneficial to her since she was a child, and now she has misunderstood Qian Chunhua.
Zhang Qiurong secretly decided that she must be careful and wary of Li Cuihong in the future.
Looking at the departing backs of Zhang Qiurong and Sun Hongying, Qian Chunhua's face showed a thoughtful expression.
This kind and enthusiastic sister-in-law in the eyes of my ancestors, I knew what kind of person she was after only two days of traveling through time.
I was so stupid that I didn't realize the true appearance of the eldest family until I left.
Qian Chunhua was secretly alert and decided not to let Li Cuihong act so recklessly again. She would have to settle the score with her soon.
Qian Chunhua made up his mind and continued walking towards the back mountain.
Lion Rock, located behind the village, gets its name from the huge rock on the top of the mountain that looks like a lion.
The mountain has fertile soil and lush wild grass, making it a paradise for children to pick grass for pigs and dig wild vegetables.
However, this year's drought has made wild vegetables scarce in Lion Rock.
