Pecans

Song Shixia went home and asked his mother, only to find out that the woman who was beaten was called Chen Cuihua. She often liked to gossip with people at the entrance of the village and especially liked to sow discord.

"Chen Cuihua's husband, Song Dashan, is related to our family, but he married a restless daughter-in-law who has caused unrest in our family."

Song Shixia sighed: "I wanted to ask her for justice. She scolded my son for no reason. I was too embarrassed to continue my words after Song Dashan slapped her a few times."

Song's mother comforted her daughter: "You can't go home many times a year, so just ignore her, otherwise she will hate you and make up stories about you behind your back."

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and this is what people like Chen Cuihua are like.

Song Shixia asked, "Is Chen Cuihua from Chenjia Village?"

"Yes, the Chen Jiao you know calls Chen Cuihua aunt."

Song Shixia seemed to be thinking about something. No wonder she inexplicably disliked Chen Cuihua and showed disgust on Chen Cuihua's face. It turned out that a relative of Chen Jiao's Jipintuan got married.

It's just a pity for Song Dashan. There is no such character as Song Dashan in the original novel, but Chen Cuihua, as a close relative, often appears and is slapped in the face. Her husband, who appears in the background, is a hardworking farmer who finally couldn't bear it and divorced Chen Cuihua.

Chen Cuihua contributed a lot of face-slapping plots in the rural section of the original novel, and every time she appeared, she made people hate her to the core.

I just didn't expect that she had any connection with my family. Fortunately, she was not a direct relative, otherwise I would have been isolated to death.

Song's mother warned her daughter: "Song Dashan is not related to our family, but we live in the same village. He sometimes helped your father carry two buckets of water in the fields. He is a nice person. Don't be scared by his beatings. Chen Cuihua's mouth has caused him a lot of trouble."

Song Shixia didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not a jealous person. No matter how they quarrel, it has nothing to do with me."

Song's mother was relieved: "Don't go to Chenjia Village if you have nothing to do. Just hang around in our brigade."

In the past six months, the gap between Songjia Village and Chenjia Village has gradually widened. The people of Chenjia Village want to get a piece of the pie but are unwilling to admit that they are surpassed by Songjia Village.

The reason is that the grievances have been accumulated for a long time. Previously, the two villages belonged to different production teams, and they were either competing for labor or productivity. A few years ago, the land reform allowed the two villages to merge, but the grievances accumulated over the years are not so easy to eliminate.

Neither side is willing to give in to the other, and the original competitive relationship cannot be resolved by reconciliation.

As a result, the young people now have good relationships, but the elders are hostile to each other. The village cadres have tried to ease the conflict between the two sides, but to no avail.

How could Chenjia Village, which used to have advanced productivity, be overtaken by Songjia Village without them noticing?

However, there was nothing he could do even if he couldn't swallow it. After all, the people from Songjia Village were the ones with a bright future. When one of them became rich, he still thought about making money with the whole village, while his own village had no successors.

Some people are unable to save face, so they simply try to find solutions from other places, such as marrying their daughters to Songjia Village, which is also a compromise.

Song Qiu Sheng never thought that he could be arranged to make friends just by having dinner with his friends who he grew up with.

He stood up immediately after discussing the matter.

"It's almost time. My family is waiting for me to have dinner, so I'll go back first."

Chen Guozhuang quickly winked at his sister, and Chen Erya shyly and timidly called out "Brother Song".

Song Qiusheng patted Chen Guozhuang on the shoulder.

"Guo Zhuang, I'm going to go back first. I'll just mention this to you once. The next time we meet, it will probably be at my wedding."

Song Qiu Sheng did not refuse too bluntly in order not to embarrass the girl. He simply said that his wedding date was approaching, which had already stopped the girl from talking.

Chen Guozhuang laughed dryly: "You kid, when you start dating someone, you always tell me."

It's not that he didn't know about it. The last time Song Qiu Sheng went home, he brought Yao Xue with him. Chen Guozhuang was also in the village at that time, so he wouldn't be unaware of it. But he thought that since Yao Xue didn't come back with him this time, maybe Song Qiu Sheng and Yao Xue had already broken up. It's not surprising that they broke up. Yao Xue is the daughter of a big boss, and he got lucky by dating her.

His mother always kept telling him to bring Song Qiu Sheng and Chen Erya together, but he didn't think Chen Erya would succeed. But his mother kept crying, making a scene, and even threatening to commit suicide, so he could only cooperate once to make them give up.

He thought there was no hope, but they insisted on deceiving themselves.

How could Song Qiusheng still be interested in a village girl after dating Yao Xue? Even if he was blind, he would never be interested in an ugly girl!

Song Qiu Sheng fled back home in a panic, but was blocked at the door by his sister who laughed at him.

Song Shixia leaned against the door and ate melon seeds: "Brother, I guess you've become the bachelor of our village again this time."

Song Qiusheng waved his hand and said, "Go away. It sounds like you are cursing me, Diamond Bachelor."

Song Shixia explained with a smile: "Diamond bachelor means that you are popular, rich and powerful, but you are not married yet."

Song Qiusheng pinched his chin and thought: "My engagement to Yao Xue is too low-key. I have to ask Second Madam to help publicize that I have someone."

Song Shixia approached and gossiped, "Whose girl is this time? Do I know her?"

Song Qiusheng replied unhappily: "Chen Erya, do you have any impression?"

Hey, isn’t this the girl who had an affair with Chen Jiao’s honest husband in the original novel?

Chen Jiao's honest husband deceived everyone. Although he looked honest on the surface, he often went to the widow's house behind her back.

"I don't have any impression of him. I'm not familiar with him. Brother, you should go out less. I'm really worried about you."

Song Shixia spoke frankly about her worries. She was not worrying over nothing. It was really possible that a scandal had occurred in the village where someone was framed and had his reputation ruined after getting drunk.

Song Qiusheng's face was solemn.

"Since you are worried about this, it means it is very likely to happen. I believe in your luck. I will not go out during the New Year this year no matter who calls me."

He didn't dare to gamble with his reputation. If something really went wrong, he could not take responsibility, but what would happen to his parents in the village?

Song Shixia just had a sudden idea, but she didn't expect that it actually helped her brother escape from danger.

Chen Erya looked at Song Qiu Sheng's departing back in a daze, then returned to the house and stomped her feet, complaining to her brother.

"It's all your fault. Couldn't you have asked Qiu Sheng to stay for dinner? Mom asked me to prepare some wine."

Chen Guozhuang couldn't believe that this was a plan come up by his mother and sister.

He felt like his temple was going to explode.

"Are you crazy? Do you still want to be innocent? You are a virgin and you want to do something like this? If you like her, just fight for her openly. Why do you have to use such dirty tricks?"

Chen Erya wiped away tears of grievance.

"Brother, tell me the truth, if I fight for him openly, will he like me?"

Chen Guozhuang said coldly: "Impossible, it's good enough for you to get married. Song Qiusheng would only fall in love with you if he saved your life in his previous life."

Chen Erya felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

She cried and said, "Am I that bad? I'm just not that pretty. If I had a pretty face, would I still be afraid of not being able to get married?"

Chen Guozhuang said bluntly: "You are not only ugly, but no one likes your temper. Listen to me and find a farmer. Song Qiusheng is now at least a 10,000 yuan household. What can you bring to be worthy of him?"

Chen Erya wiped away her tears and said, "Don't worry about it. Mom said she would definitely let me marry him. You are just stupid. When I become successful with him, you will be the one who benefits from it."

Chen Guozhuang didn't believe she could seduce Song Qiusheng. If Chen Erya was 60% or 70% as pretty as Yao Xue, he would still think she had a chance, but he didn't like Chen Erya because she had pits all over her face.

During the Chinese New Year, Song Qiu Sheng claimed to be sick and did not go out, which made his family worried for a while. He simply lied that he had a stomachache and was recuperating at home, and stayed in the fire room with his two nephews every day.

Now no matter how many tricks Chen Erya had, she was useless. She used the wrong target and ended up getting together with a married woman.

After Chen Erya woke up, she screamed in fear. The guests who had not left yet thought something had happened and rushed in, only to catch them in the act.

Song Qiu Sheng had his little nephew sitting on his lap, peeling pecans in the warm fire room. These were New Year's goods that his sister had brought back from somewhere, a pile of dried fruits, but they tasted surprisingly delicious.

Song Shixia's face was full of excitement as she pulled Ji Weiqing back home, with a look of great gossip written all over her face that she wanted to share.

She sat down and took the warm Ji Yang into her arms as a baby. Ji Weiqing sat beside her and helped her tidy up her messy hair.

"We were having dinner at my second uncle's house when we heard screams from next door. You never thought that my worries would come true."

She didn't expect her prediction to be so accurate, it just happened in the original novel so she gave a reminder. It was the first time she encountered such a plot of catching an adulterer in a novel, so she forced herself to suppress her curiosity and didn't join in the fun.

However, the children in my second uncle's family didn't care so much. They came back and described the scene in vivid detail. They were glared at by the adults because their description was too explicit.

Chen Erya got drunk and went to rest, but she ended up sneaking into her cousin's husband's room and got involved with him.

The guests ran into the room and discovered the scandal, and found blood stains on the bed sheets. Now everyone knew that Chen Erya's innocence was gone.

Chen Erya's cousin is related to Chen Jiao, and is the daughter of Chen Jiao's mother's younger sister. In the original novel, the cousin fanned the flames and caused Chen Jiao to be unable to divorce. Many times, Chen Jiao wanted to leave the sea of ​​suffering, but was forced to reconcile by the other party's moral blackmail.

The first thing Chen Jiao did after her rebirth was to arrange a marriage for her cousin, so that she could marry the honest husband whom she had not even met in her life.

Chen Jiao couldn't have imagined that this matter could be so directly linked to Song Shixia, fortunately Song Shixia was not implicated.

This incident had nothing to do with Chen Jiao, but Chen Jiao met Song Shixia before entering the house. The two families lived next door to each other, and they neither thought that they would have this level of connection.

Song Shixia and Chen Jiao were holding back gossip to share after school started. The two of them, who disliked each other, were actually fighting among themselves. They didn't know how Chen Erya would live in the village in the future.

Song Shixia did not sympathize with Chen Erya. Anyone who used crooked means to plot against others should have thought of the consequences long ago.

Song Qiu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. If he went out today, and after drinking a few sips of white wine, he was made drunk and helped into the room to rest, he would be afraid that even his innocence would be lost.

Song Shixia was amused by his brother's reaction: "Brother, what's with that expression on your face? Why do you look like a virgin?"

Song Qiusheng glared at his sister: "You are such a naive girl after getting married. How can you say such a thing?"

Song Shixia quickly covered her mouth, her eyes rolling around her brother.

"What's with that expression on your face? Am I the kind of man who becomes bad just because he has money?"

Song Shixia shook her head. She just didn't expect her brother to be so innocent. Sister Yao Xue, who was so open-minded, actually liked innocent love.

Her brother doesn't look like a pure-hearted person, but more like a tough guy. Who would have thought that he is actually a pure-hearted big wolfdog?

She called Sister Yao Xue several times at night and it was always her brother who answered the phone. Plus, since they were already engaged, she thought they were semi-living together. Who would have thought that they were so innocent.
