"Do you know Shuxing Lane? That area is where rich people live!"
"Their stuff is so expensive, it's practically robbery. Da Yun, don't you feel any remorse for robbing people like this?"
Someone else spotted Qin Xiaozhou on the boat but didn't recognize her at first. They pulled Zhao Fang aside and asked, "Sister Zhao, who's this pretty wife? Is she the new wife your Dayun is marrying now that he's made it big?"
"That girl in front is a shrew, fat and ugly, and probably can't even have children. It's good that you divorced her. Now that you have money, you should marry a good one. I think this girl is pretty good. With that figure, she looks like she can give birth to a big, healthy boy!"
The villagers were drawn to watch the people coming off the boat. Many of the men secretly watched, cursing Lu Yunfeng for being so lucky—he divorced one woman and was able to marry such a beautiful one.
Qin Xiaozhou stepped off the boat, speechless. Were these people blind? It had only been half a month since she last saw her, and all she had done was lose weight, yet they were already gossiping and spreading rumors right in front of her!
Qin Xiaozhou was a bit taller than the women in the village. She used to be a huge, fat woman whose eyes were squeezed into slits. Now, she had changed a lot. She was wearing a light blue new dress, her hair was tied up and a peach wood hairpin was inserted. She looked neat and tidy, with fair skin and big, bright eyes. She looked very wealthy.
As Zhao Fang watched Qin Xiaozhou grow thinner day by day, her round face transformed into an oval one, revealing her to be a beauty. She was also efficient at her work, which made Zhao Fang swoon. Since their marriage three months ago, Zhao Fang felt even more that marrying Qin Xiaozhou was a blessing and a source of great pride for their family. "Sister-in-law Wang, what are you saying? This is my daughter-in-law. Xiaozhou, this is your cousin-in-law from the Wang family."
Qin Xiaozhou rolled her eyes inwardly, but greeted everyone politely, which surprised and embarrassed them. The impact was so strong that they wanted to stare a hole through Qin Xiaozhou!
How could this person be that fat woman Qin Xiaozhou?!
Three months ago, the Lu family got married. The bride got stuck at the door and couldn't get in, which made many people laugh. It was also said that the daughter of Butcher Qin was strong and had a bad temper. She had subdued the Lu family within a few days of getting married and was bullying her husband in her husband's family. She was also killing wild boars in the stream at the foot of West Mountain. I never expected that she would be such a kind and pretty wife.
After greeting the villagers, Lu Yunxing and Wang Lan were already waiting at the door when they returned home. They were very happy to see them come back.
After eating, they went to the grave to burn paper money, so the Lu family started cooking and preparing the meal.
Qin Xiaozhou was cleaning and scaling fish in the yard, doing it all in one go. Passersby praised him, and it was unclear whether they were genuinely just passing by or secretly coming to watch the excitement outside the Lu family's gate. In any case, in just a short time, there was a constant stream of people coming to the Lu family's gate.
With many people working, Qin Xiaozhou was idle until it was time to get the bowls and chopsticks and set the table with Lu Yan.
After dinner, the family went to Nanshan to pay respects at the ancestral graves.
Wang Lan is happy today. After her husband and son died, her eldest grandson is only eighteen years old. There is no man to support the family. She has seen so many cold looks in the past two years. Her daughter-in-law and grandson take medicine every day. She broke her leg last year and sold everything. She is depressed and dares not go out.
Now things are much better. She's found a granddaughter-in-law, her legs are much better, and her daughter-in-law no longer has to spend all her time in medicine. She's even started a business in the county town, and life is getting better and better. When good things happen, people are in high spirits. After burning paper money for her husband and son, Wang Lan actually drank two cups of wine in front of their graves and recounted in detail the events of the past two years to her husband and son.
After saying that, she couldn't help but shed tears again. On the way back, she hummed a song softly, full of energy. I don't know what song she was humming, but she was definitely not as lifeless as before.
