"Not only that, I heard that her family bought more than one. But even so, she never showed any consideration for her parents, brother and sister-in-law. Isn't she an ungrateful person?"
Another woman quickly chimed in.
"It's not without reason that they say a daughter who is married off is like spilled water."
"She lives a comfortable life, leaving her parents to suffer in this village, and she can get by..."
"......"
Jianjia Village is not far from Zhangjia Village, and the news of Jian Xiu's moving soon spread to Jianjia Village.
The people in Jianjia Village also heard that everyone in Zhangjia Village was given a large piece of pork that day.
This story was passed on hundreds of times, and in the end, the version became that Jian Xiu was unfilial.
He would rather give it to someone who has no connection with him in the village than care about his own parents.
At first, Mr. and Mrs. Jian would refute such things.
But as such words became more and more intense, the two of them just let them go in one ear and out the other.
Just like my daughter said, go your own way and let others talk!
They have mouths, if they want to speak and like to speak, let them speak!
They don't care, and if they say it themselves, it will make them feel that they are being hypocritical.
When Zhang Yi came over, the women under the banyan tree were talking excitedly.
"If you ask me, even though Jian Dashan gave birth to a capable daughter, it was just to help others. He himself got nothing."
"No, that's Qiao Qian and his friends coming back. I also saw that they brought back some good things."
"Oh, look at what you're saying. Bringing those things back is nothing. I heard that Jian Xiu filled up a whole room with gifts that day. You probably don't know that her new house is full of gifts. There is a big storeroom there, and it's filled to the brim."
"Oh, Aunt Chen, how do you know it so clearly? The way you talk makes people who don't know think you saw it with your own eyes."
Zhang Xuemei, who had just returned from the fields, couldn't help but choke.
She couldn't stand Aunt Chen the most. She was the most gossipy person in the whole Jianjia Village.
She is always the first to know if there is any movement in the nearby village.
It would be fine if she could just talk nicely, but she just likes to exaggerate.
Just like Jian Xiu's family at this time, when Jian's father and mother came back, Jian Xiu even asked someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to bring them back.
Not only that, he also brought back a carriage full of gifts.
As the story was passed around, by the time it came to her, it became just a piece of pork.
"How come I didn't know? Have you forgotten that Chen Sixi is her sister-in-law?"
"Bah, she still calls her sister-in-law. Have you asked Jian Xiu if she recognizes her as her sister-in-law? They broke off the relationship eight hundred years ago. Jian Xiu has long stopped having any contact with that evil woman."
At this point, Zhang Xuemei seemed to remember something and continued:
"If you ask me, Chen Sixi can't even enter Jian Xiu's yard, so how can he know about her warehouse? Isn't this nonsense?"
When saying this, Zhang Xuemei rolled her eyes in an ungraceful manner to show her disdain.
"you......"
"What do you mean by 'I'? I was there that day. Do you think you know better, or do you think I know better?"
"Okay, let's go back! Don't bother with them! They are the ones who say the grapes are sour because they can't have them."
"Don't go too far." Aunt Chen said, pointing at the backs of Zhang Xuemei and her husband.
However, the two men walked straight home as if they didn't hear what they said.
"Aunt Chen, why are you arguing with her? She is just relying on the fact that she is pregnant. She used to be so confident when she spoke. She didn't even dare to speak loudly."
"That's because she's pregnant. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how much she would have to endure."
After seeing Zhang Xuemei and her husband leave, the topic shifted from Jian Xiu to Zhang Xuemei.
They used to say that Zhang Xuemei was a hen that laid no eggs, but now the topic has changed.
Now that Zhang Xuemei is pregnant, she has become spoiled again.
When Zhang Yi first entered Jianjia Village, he saw everyone talking excitedly.
"Aunts, may I ask how to get to Jian Dashan's house?" Zhang jumped out of the carriage and asked politely.
At the same time, a lot of cakes were taken out from the carriage and distributed to everyone.
He had already prepared these before going out.
As the saying goes, "One should be soft-hearted when receiving favors, and one should be grateful when receiving favors." There is some truth to this.
What's more, they are eating and taking at the same time.
Hearing Zhang Yi's words at this time, he suddenly became enthusiastic.
Aunt Su, in particular, held the cake in her hand like a treasure, and immediately stood up and said:
"My dear, I see you are not from Jianjia Village either. Come on, I'll take you there!"
"Then thank you, Auntie!"
"Why are you being so polite? But then again, you were asked by Jian Xiu to come here, right?"
"Well, my wife asked me to pick them up!"
"Past? Where to?" Aunt Su asked blankly.
Not only Aunt Su was surprised, but even those who had just been sitting under the banyan tree were surprised.
Even Aunt Chen looked a little confused.
Looking down at the cake in his hand, jealousy was already burning.
But even so, she couldn't do anything.
"Our Madam said that she wanted to take them to Zhangjia Village. She has already hired a teacher to teach Sister Fen and the others how to read and write..."
The group of women didn't hear what Zhang Yi said next.
They heard the four words "know how to read and write".
You know, the value of these four words is as precious as sending a child to academy.
However, what were they discussing just now?
It is said that Jian Xiu has become rich and has forgotten his parents.
This is not forgetting.
Looking at the surprised expressions of this group of people, Zhang Yi knew that his effect had been achieved.
So he deliberately lifted the horse curtain and said to Aunt Su:
"Is it far? If so, you can take the carriage, which is faster. I would feel bad if you delayed me for too long."
That was true, but when Aunt Su saw the baskets full of gifts in the carriage, her eyes widened.
Not to mention what was inside, because they didn't recognize many of them.
Just looking at the packaging, it's already amazing.
Not only Aunt Su, but everyone behind Aunt Su was also surprised.
At this point, they realized what stupid things they had done during this period of time.
How can someone not care about his parents when he becomes rich?
