It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Su Wenwei and his family finally arrived.
Liu Yan and Su Lingling were wrapped tightly from head to toe.
Su Qing took a look from a distance and ignored it. She had to hurry to finish the farm work and then go home to lie down.
Old Mrs. Feng looked at the new faces in the work group and couldn't help gossiping.
"Hey, are you new here?"
Liu Yan and Su Lingling were still complaining about work, and only left their backs to Old Lady Feng.
"Yes, auntie, we just moved here. This is my wife and daughter. I'm a little embarrassed because I'm shy. I didn't mean to ignore you." Su Wenwei came out to smooth things over.
"So where is your hometown?"
"I'm from Stone Village, my hometown."
"Oh, you're still a mountain dweller. Your family members don't look like you in the same clothes."
Old Mrs. Feng had never seen anyone wearing Dacron going out in the fields.
"Hmm..." Su Wenwei smiled awkwardly.
Old Mrs. Feng continued to ask questions.
"I remember Su Qing's family is from Shitou Village. Do you know Su Qing?"
When I took Su Wenwei to see Su's mother yesterday, I briefly introduced the situation of the Su family.
I guess the Su Qing that Old Lady Feng mentioned is her niece.
"Yes, she's my niece. Her father and I are brothers, but... my brother passed away early, and after he passed away, our two families gradually became estranged. Now that he's doing well, he naturally doesn't like us poor relatives anymore."
"That won't do. He's my uncle after all, how can I not acknowledge him? If you ask me, these people in the Su family are just heartless bastards, especially Su Qing, she's a lunatic.
But think about it, she dared to divorce and beat up that old hag, Old Lady He, so it doesn't seem surprising that you were kicked out."
Su Wenwei's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked Old Lady Feng about the Su family.
Old Mrs. Feng was just trying to slack off, so she sat in the field and started gossiping with Su Wenwei.
…
"Hey, what's going on? If my brother were still alive, he would definitely not let her do what she wants." Su Wenwei acted as if he was heartbroken.
"No, I think she was born without a father, and she's a troublemaker. No family would want a woman like her. But she's lucky. One minute she left a miner, and the next she married a textile factory driver."
Hearing that Su Qing was now married to a driver, Su Wenwei's mind became active again.
It would be great if I could get close to them and find myself a job in the factory, even if it was just a temporary job.
I haven't done farm work for more than ten years. After bending down to cut rice for more than half an hour, I couldn't stand up straight.
"You old woman, you're slacking off again. If your daughter-in-law sees you, you'll be in trouble."
Old Man Feng urged Old Lady Feng to go to work.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to work first. If you want to know more about Su Qing, you can go ask Old Lady He.
Mrs. He is her ex-mother-in-law, so she definitely knows more than outsiders like us.”
After saying this, Old Mrs. Feng hurriedly got up and went to work.
Su Wenwei took this sentence to heart.
They finally got through the double harvest season, because Su Xiaoqiang said that he had a girl he liked, and he had to prepare to build a house.
I couldn't find the time to visit Mrs. He.
The idle old lady He was sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village mending shoes.
Ever since He Aihua went to the mine, Old Mrs. He has been missing her terribly.
He often sits under the big banyan tree when he has free time, thinking that she will be the first to know when He Aihua comes back.
But every time he saw his granddaughters and daughters-in-law, he felt very annoyed. If they hadn't been so nosy, the He family wouldn't have had to split up, and his daughter wouldn't have had such a bad reputation.
It turned out that He Aihua had been in the mine for almost a year, and some people who didn't know the reason began to be curious about what she was doing.
"If you ask me, I think she must have done something shameful, so she got married with all her baggage."
"No, I heard that he was put in jail."
"How could it be possible? She got pregnant, but the He family was afraid of being embarrassed, so they let her give birth outside."
Everyone had their own opinions, and then asked Tian Xiaocui and Luo Quanxiang.
The two smiled at each other.
"Hey, I'm lucky. I can go to the mine with my big brother and enjoy life."
"But I heard he's already seeing someone. He's been away from the mines for so long, maybe it will work out."
The old woman seemed to smell gossip. "Then I won't do anything in the village anymore. I'm still waiting for the wedding."
"We, as sisters-in-law, also want to drink in our sister-in-law's wedding wine, but we don't know if we can."
The two of them also blamed He Aihua for the entire family division and exaggerated the matter.
Now, almost everyone in the village knows that He Aihua’s pocket money starts from the Big Black Ten.
For a moment, many women and servants focused their attention on He Aihua's marriage.
"What's the point of having money? She's so lazy, whoever marries her will be unlucky."
"Gouzi, you're just sour grapes. If you let any of that shit slip out, it'll be enough for you for the rest of your life."
"Of course not. My eldest brother has a golden rice bowl, so why would he worry about not having money to spend?"
The women in the village love to talk nonsense.
But the speaker may not be intentional, but the listener may be intentional.
Da Niu's mother had long had her eyes on He Aihua. Although she was too lazy to order, she had a mother who was generous to her.
She had seen Old Lady He secretly stuffing eggs into He Aihua's mouth several times, and each time there were four or five eggs.
