The next day, the triumphant Wu Dahua sent Chen Shengli out before she went out, happily going to the river to wash clothes. As the village women's director, Wu Dahua didn't have to go to work deliberately. She could earn work points by visiting one house and another.
There is an old well in the backyard of the Chen family. Families like the Chen family, who have some financial resources, will dig a well in their backyard.
Chen Shengli was the production team leader and his family was well-off. When the family was divided, they bought a house like this. However, in order to chat with the young girls and wives in the village, listen to gossip and talk about it, Wu Dahua still liked to go to the small river in the village and wash clothes with everyone, laughing and joking.
"Hey! Director Wu, are you here to join in the fun again?" The speaker was Mrs. Li from the village, and there was a sour taste in her teasing.
"That's right! You have an old well at home, but you still go so far to wash clothes! You can't bear to use your own well water!" Aunt Wu also laughed and continued.
"Look at what you said, don't you just want to chat with some old sisters? It's so boring to be alone at home!" Wu Dahua put down the laundry basin with an indescribable sense of superiority in her eyes.
"Haha, indeed, it's boring to be alone at home! Doesn't your Shengli want to find a sister for you? That would be interesting!" Another woman, Aunt Zhang, also started to tease.
"Yes, yes, Director Wu, you won't be bored anymore!"
As they spoke, the group of old ladies burst into laughter, with an indescribable sense of gloating in their tone.
"Tsk! Bah! Not every slut can catch the eye of my Shengli! Don't even think about it!" Wu Dahua got annoyed when she heard this. She was really talking about something that was irrelevant.
Widow Li, who was not far from them, couldn't help but darken her eyes. She slowed down the movement of her hands washing clothes for a moment, then returned to her normal speed. No one knew what she was thinking in her mind.
"Hey!" Before washing clothes, Wu Dahua habitually shook off the dust on the clothes and searched her pockets to see if there was anything, fearing that there were banknotes.
Moreover, since it had been left outside for a whole night, people were afraid of insects and ants. But when Chen Shengli shook it, a copper plate fell out of his clothes with a "pop".
Wu Dahua couldn't help but pick it up in confusion. After thinking about it, she fumbled around in Chen Shengli's clothes and actually found a handkerchief. The handkerchief was made of fine white cotton, and there was beautiful orchid embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.
Such a sweat towel can be sold for more than one yuan in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. Ordinary women in the village would not buy such a good handkerchief to make a sweat towel. Most of them would just put their own towels around their necks.
"Director Wu, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" A nosy woman heard Wu Dahua's surprise and couldn't help but look up at what Wu Dahua was holding.
"Hey? Director Wu, why are you holding Widow Li's handkerchief? And her copper coin?" The woman saw Wu Dahua studying the pattern on the handkerchief in her hand, and looking at a copper coin in her other hand.
She couldn't help but tilt her head to look at the pattern on the sweat towel in her hand. She recognized those things and said them out loud in a hurry. Then she felt that it was inappropriate, so she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head to wash clothes.
I thought, this is bad. Everyone knows that Widow Li has many lovers. Could it be that Chen Shengli really... Look at my mouth... The woman felt indescribable regret in her heart. I really hope Wu Dahua didn't hear it.
"Aunt Zhang, what did you say? The handkerchief belongs to Widow Li? And the copper plate too?" Wu Dahua's face changed when she heard that.
"This...that..." Aunt Zhang saw that Mrs. Du had heard it and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. She stammered and didn't know what to say, and secretly glanced at Widow Li.
"Hmph, I'll go ask her myself!" Wu Dahua felt something was wrong when she saw Aunt Zhang's eyes flickering, so she simply took the things and went to Widow Li.
"Widow Li, is this yours?" Wu Dahua threw the thing in front of Widow Li and asked viciously.
"You're slandering me! This isn't mine at all. Don't listen to other people's nonsense!" Widow Li saw the things Wu Dahua threw in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. How could the handkerchief and the brocade be in Wu Dahua's hands when they were clearly in her home?
"Not yours? Then why does Aunt Zhang say these are all yours?" Wu Dahua didn't care what Aunt Zhang said and directly used Aunt Zhang to confront Widow Li.
"Can you please stop listening to her nonsense? Zhang Yuexiang, you black-hearted person is gossiping here! I will never let you go!" Widow Li didn't know how to reply to Wu Dahua, so she had to use Zhang Yuexiang as a scapegoat.
"I'm a wicked man? Widow Li, you dare say it's not yours? This handkerchief and this brooch are clearly yours. Everyone here has seen them. Under the tree at the entrance to the village, you showed off to us how many times you had orchids embroidered on the corners of that handkerchief, just like you had your name embroidered on it. You shameless old bitch, you did something bad and you're afraid of others knowing?"
Zhang Yuexiang was a sharp-tongued and mean woman who was difficult to get along with. How could she suffer at the hands of Widow Li when it was clearly none of her business? She became furious after being scolded by Widow Li and started arguing with her as well.
"Yes, Widow Li, that orchid grass, didn't you bring it up a few days ago? Didn't we talk about it? Aren't you a widow, pretending to be young by holding a handkerchief covered in flowers and plants?"
At this time, another person who had a grudge against Widow Li started to attack her. Widow Li had seduced too many men in the village and had many enemies, so she suffered a great loss at this time.
"And that copper plate, Widow Li, wasn't that what you were showing off a few days ago? Oh, who gave it to you? Are you saying your dead husband left it to you?!"
At this time, Widow Li was speechless and regretted that she was fine. She always showed off to those women. Now she has shown off herself and got herself into trouble. She didn't know if Chen Shengli was ready?
