◎Mother Mei Zi and Ms. Tang Tang◎
Chapter 10
After the cat had eaten all the meat in the food bowl, it looked up, jumped up, and in a few seconds jumped onto the branch of the locust tree. It sat in its usual seat, raised its little head, as if waiting for something.
Ying Huai found it a little funny when he saw it. Every time Ahri maintained this posture, it was basically when Ying Huai was releasing spiritual energy around it for it to absorb.
Before, Ying Huai always gave it to her on his own initiative. This was the first time that Ahri took the initiative to sit down and wait for Ying Huai to give her the aura ball.
"The little brain has become smarter."
Ying Huai said as he released a ball of spiritual energy onto it.
Ali felt a comfortable breath begin to spread around his body. He rubbed against Ying Huai's tree with satisfaction, and then closed his eyes and concentrated on enjoying the comfort.
Although Ahri still cannot actively absorb spiritual energy, she can already observe the direction of the comfortable breath around her body.
If it continues like this, as its body strength increases, it is only a matter of time before it absorbs the energy on its own.
The village is not big. Although the adults are busy in the fields during the day, there is still not much work to do, so the women and elderly people who don’t work in the fields like to gather together and chat.
They were gossiping about other people's private affairs. Although it was not clear whether the gossip they were talking about was true, what Ying Huai heard now left him stunned.
However, let alone Ying Huai, a tree demon who doesn't understand humans, I'm afraid even if these old ladies were asked to explain what is true, they wouldn't be able to make sense of it.
"I heard Mei Zi took her daughter out on a blind date again. Is that true?"
An old lady was cracking melon seeds and asked a grandmother who was peeling peanuts next to her.
"Of course it's true. An old lady from my family introduced us. I don't know what Mei Zi is thinking. She's so anxious to get married."
My mother-in-law answered while peeling peanuts. She lowered her voice a little in the latter half of the sentence as if she was afraid that people outside would hear her.
"Hey, hey, hey, I heard that the girl from Meizi's family doesn't like boys, but likes girls? Is this true? Do you know?"
Hearing their conversation, another aunt who was chatting with Zuzu came over and prepared to join in their conversation.
"Where did you hear all this? Why haven't we heard of it?"
After hearing the explosive gossip she said, the aunt and mother-in-law who were just chatting turned to look at her with curious expressions.
"I went to my eldest sister-in-law's house to attend her grandson's full moon banquet. At that time, Mei Zi's daughter was on a blind date with a man from their village. I don't know what they thought, but the man came home and said that Mei Zi's daughter didn't like men and planned to marry a woman in the future."
Seeing that both of them were looking at her curiously, the aunt began to share the news she had heard with satisfaction.
"Oh my goodness, no wonder Mei Zi is so anxious to arrange a blind date for her daughter. I would be anxious too if it were me!"
The old lady didn't care about the melon seeds in her hand, and slapped her thigh with an excited look on her face.
As soon as the slap was made, the melon seeds scattered all over the ground.
"Oh, my melon seeds!" He quickly squatted down to pick them up.
"Oh, be careful, I'll make room for you."
When the mother-in-law saw her melon seeds scattered all over the floor, she quickly moved aside so that the old lady could pick them up more easily.
"What's behind? What's behind?"
The old lady squatted down to pick up melon seeds, but my curiosity was still lingering, and I kept looking up to ask what happened next.
"What else can we do next? Look, Mei Zi arranged another blind date today and took her daughter out on a blind date!"
After the aunt finished speaking, she said that she didn't know what happened next, and turned around to continue talking to Zuzu to entertain her.
"You're always like this. You're the one who wants to gossip with us, and you're the one who keeps us on suspense with no follow-up. You're such a tease, and you only know half of a story!"
After hearing what she said, the old lady picked up the melon seeds and pointed in the direction of the old lady with an expression of "you are kidding me".
The aunt looked a little guilty and explained awkwardly, "I was at my mother's house at the time. You all know me. I'm very shy outside. You can just listen from the side. How can you have the nerve to go up and ask..."
"Oh, last time I went out to buy something and bargained with a young guy, it wasn't you who cut his profit into nothing~"
The old lady curled her lips and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"I won't tell you."
The aunt glanced at her and ignored her.
This move directly upset the old lady who was already ready to quarrel with someone.
"You just know how to tease people."
Grandpa was watching with joy, and only said something after seeing the frustrated expression on Auntie's face.
"Hey, no, it's not that she is impatient~"
When the aunt heard what Grandpa said, the guilty look on her face disappeared. She smiled and waved her hands, indicating that there was nothing wrong with teasing people.
"You must know what happened next, so tell me." The mother-in-law was also enjoying the fun, but when she saw that the aunt next to her was almost laughing to death, she quickly spoke up.
"Hey, what else can we do next? Although I don't know if the story about Mei Zi's daughter is true, the man is really not a good person. The matchmaker is really shameless in order to earn the matchmaking fee. He wants to match people with any kind of people, no matter how good or bad they are."
"Although the man's family seems to be well-off and the man seems to be a decent person, he's just a superficial presence if he's released."
"That man was studying abroad at university and met his ex-wife there. He now claims to have opened a small company, but it was all supported by his ex-wife's family. Even the car and house in the family were taken from her family when he divorced her.
The woman gave birth to his children and had to get needles stuck in her belly every day to keep them from falling. After the children were born, her figure became out of shape, so he looked down on her and started having affairs outside.
He did that to a girl, and she suffered from postpartum depression. When her family found out, they divorced her. Later, in order to take the child with them, they didn't even take any of the marriage property.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy loves to mess around now that he has money. He doesn't even have a conscience anymore. He's not someone you can get along with. It's good that the blind date didn't work out."
When the old lady heard this, she sighed.
"That's right... and there's more..."
The aunt started talking and then began to talk about some gossip she knew.
At this time, the gossip center is still on a blind date.
Listening to the man opposite confidently telling about his past glory.
"I'm not saying anything, but with my grades back then and my current salary, you're lucky to be able to marry me. After we get married, as long as the child looks like me, their intelligence won't be a problem, and they'll definitely get into a prestigious university nationwide..."
The girl became very impatient and turned around to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she saw her old mother squatting outside the cafe and winking at her.
Although she was far away and couldn't see her face clearly, she still clearly translated the meaning of her mother's face.
"You're on a blind date and you want to run away? Don't even think about it! Stay on your blind date and don't look around!"
Seeing this, although the girl was not afraid, she still sat obediently, with impatience in her eyes.
That guy is still blah blah...
"You don't have to worry about me after we get married. Just stay home. I work hard to earn money outside, so please take good care of the family. My mother is not in good health, so please take good care of her..."
Hearing this, and seeing that the man was ready to continue, the girl could no longer hold back. She stood up and smiled at the man, "I don't think we're a good match. You don't meet my aesthetic standards, and you can't support me. Your salary isn't enough for me to stay at home full-time."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing her stand up and leave again, her mother outside waved her hands anxiously.
But it didn't stop her from leaving the house.
"You kid, oh, what are you dissatisfied with again?"
As soon as she saw her come out, Mei Zi started nagging.
"I'm not good-looking, but they still want me to be their nanny. Do I look like a hardworking person at home?"
The girl ignored her mother's nagging and went straight to the point.
"The previous one is rich, so she doesn't need you to come in as a nanny. You said her character is bad, and I understand. This one has a good education and works in a big company, with an annual income of hundreds of thousands. She's the only mother at home, so it won't be a big deal."
My mother was a little unwilling and wanted to struggle a little longer.
"I'm a lazy bum at home. I haven't even taken care of you many times. You want me to go out and take care of someone else's mother?"
This sentence silenced her mother.
"Tell me the truth, are you really thinking about that girl?"
When she said this, my mother looked a little unhappy.
After all, who can accept that their daughter is walking a path surrounded by rumors?
"You actually believe this? Last time, that scumbag wanted me to take his ex-wife's child to raise after we got married. Am I some kind of traitor? They had already agreed to this. The woman paid so much for the child, and he wants me to be the bad guy just because he was found to have weak sperm and might not have children in the future?"
The girl said, looking indignant, "I retorted to him at the time. If I really wanted a child and didn't want to have one myself, instead of marrying him to snatch someone else's child, I would rather go and live with his ex-wife. His ex-wife is richer and more capable than him."
"Who knew that the damn scumbag would remember that I was thinking about his ex-wife and wanted to go live with her, damn it."
The girl thought about the gossip that had been circulating in the village in recent days, and she wanted to go to the scumbag's house and kick his second brother again.
It's useless anyway, so it might as well be useless.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The girl walked quickly in front of him.
Her mother watched her daughter start to get angry again from behind, shook her head and didn't chase her. She just followed behind and waited for her to slow down.
"Tangtang, walk slower. If you fall again, I won't take care of you."
Still worried, the mother called out in the direction of the girl as a reminder.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because of her bad luck, her daughter disappeared as soon as she finished speaking.
"Ouch! What's going on!!!"
Mei Zi hurriedly ran towards her daughter. When she got closer, she found that her daughter was walking angrily without looking at the road, and she didn't even notice the opened manhole cover on the road. She stepped on empty air and fell down.
"You damn kid, you can't even walk!"
"Mom, it stinks down there!"
Tang Tang raised her head, her face dirty as she looked up at her mother who was looking down at her. The stinky smell of the sewer wrinkled her face. If it weren't for the mud down there, she would have been injured when she fell.
Mei Zi was relieved to see that her daughter was fine.
"You deserve to be stinked. You can't even walk properly. Wait, I'll ask someone to put a ladder for you and pull you up."
