Chapter 207 Love, Hate, and Resentment
The "love, hate, and vengeance" that Old Lady Liu brought back made Liu Qingqing, who was bored at home and rocking in a rocking chair, somewhat addicted.
In this age of material scarcity, there wasn't even a novel.
How boring.
At this time, I listened to the real-life version, which happened in the front and back yards.
She had to join in this situation.
The next day, when Old Lady Liu came to visit, she brought Liu Qingqing and Song Qiyang with her.
It was the first time for Aunt Zhao, Aunt He and the others to see three generations of a family visiting and chatting together.
Song Qiyang has learned the wobbly way of walking these days.
He was dressed warmly in winter so there was no need to worry about him falling. He put a knitted hat on his head and played with the grandchildren of Aunt Zhao's family.
Liu Qingqing greeted everyone one by one and sat aside, only showing one ear.
Occasionally, he would add a few words: "Really? Oh my god! Is that so? It's too much. Who says it's not true?"
The old ladies who contributed resources were praised highly.
"Did the two sisters of the Du family get married today?" Old Mrs. Liu asked before she even sat down.
"It's been a month of trouble. Du Xiaoju is really in a bad state. She even stole my sister's boyfriend." Aunt He curled her lips in disdain.
Aunt Zhao said with an enigmatic look on her face, "That girl Du Xiaoju looks smart, but she's actually quite naive. You said she's clearly dating me, but how could a man like that be a good match? I don't think Xiaomei wants to compete with her for that guy at all. She's just being so persistent just to control them."
Aunt He leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about? What do you know?"
Old Lady Liu interrupted, "It's obvious. I've been eyeing that big guy in her family for a long time."
Aunt He was completely bewildered. The two women kept repeating the same old things. "If you two keep talking like that, I won't talk to you anymore."
"Oh, you are so impatient. Take the marriage proposal for example. It was obviously only her two sisters and that man present at the time, so how could we know the details so quickly? Du Xiaoju is in the wrong in this matter, how could Hu Chaochao tell others about it? It must have been Xiaomei who spread the news." Aunt Zhao spat out a piece of melon seed with a "Pooh".
Old Lady Liu continued, "Why is Du Xiaomei showing off? Isn't it so the neighbors can see? If she hadn't said anything, the Du family and the man's family could have just said they were looking for Du Xiaoju. The man's conditions must have been good, otherwise how could Du Xiaoju have tried so hard to get him? Once the two families have reached an agreement, the betrothal gifts and dowry will have to be generous, and then the two of them will get the benefits. In the end, it's Du Xiaomei who will suffer. Now that everyone is watching, we have to give Xiaomei some benefits to appease her, no matter what the reason."
Aunt Zhao shook her head: "Not that smart. If this thing comes out, everyone will be laughed at. No one can escape."
Aunt He scratched her head. "It's really confusing. In this matter, that man is also quite bad. He is only targeting this family? It will be difficult enough to get married in the future. It's better to just find someone else. It's not easy to find a young man."
Old Lady Liu nodded repeatedly: "That's what I said too. This is such a shameful thing to do. What kind of fun is this? It's better to just forget about it. I see the same thing as you, the hero."
"Everything is the same. Great minds think alike."
"Yes, yes, it's all the same."
"I'll have to talk to old Mrs. Du about her when I meet her tomorrow."
"Come on, it's all for nothing. That woman is short-sighted and will ruin the relationship between the children sooner or later."
Liu Qingqing enjoyed the whole process. Gossip and other things were secondary. The conversations between the old ladies were really intoxicating.
