Chapter 32: Grievances (I)
It has been almost 3 months since Wang Guihua was ready to take revenge on Xiang Yue, but Xiang Yue'e has not only not been affected badly, but has become more and more liked by everyone in the village.
During this period, Wang Guihua was extremely resentful, and she would find an opportunity to say some ambiguous words in front of Liu Lian five places away.
Liu Lian went home and tried Gao Yuanzhi a few times, but she didn't find anything. However, as a woman, she also has jealousy, and after Wang Guihua's many reminders, intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Lian's feelings for Xiang Yue'e gradually became subtle.
On the afternoon of the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the Gao family was preparing to make zongzi tomorrow, and after Aunt Gao soaked the glutinous rice in water, she said: "Hey, I haven't seen Ah Yue and Lan Yatou for several days, tomorrow on the Dragon Boat Festival, I have to call them over, and everyone will celebrate the festival together, so that it will be lively." ”
Liu Lian, who was helping on the side, was a little angry when she heard this.
She thought to herself, "It's not biological, what's the use of being so good to her?"
But she didn't dare to say it in front of her mother-in-law. So in the evening, Liu Lian thought about it again and again, and decided to ask Gao Yuanzhi for help.
"Brother Zhi, my mother said at dinner that she would call Xiang Yue'e and Peng Lanlan over for the holiday. Do you have any opinions?" asked Liu Lian.
"What do I think? Isn't it all arranged?" Gao Yuanzhi has never worried about these things, so he didn't hear Liu Lian's words at all.
Liu Lian felt that she was rejected by Gao Yuanzhi, and she was a little unhappy, and the smile on her face disappeared. She said in a weird manner: "But they are not biological, you look at the past six months, my mother has treated the two of them, especially Xiang Yue'e, who is so good, I don't know, I think she is really my mother's biological daughter!"
"What do you say? Mom has always wanted a daughter, a sister. Speaking of his biological sister, Gao Yuanzhi stopped, and after half a ring, he changed his words: "Mom just likes Sister Ah Yue more, besides, since you have Sister Ah Yue and Sister Lan Lan, haven't you noticed that there are more smiles on Mom's face?"
"I'm her daughter-in-law, and I haven't seen how enthusiastic she is to me......" Liu Lian couldn't help but complain.
"Hey!" Hearing Liu Lian's complaint, Gao Yuanzhi disagreed, and he criticized: "You are a little unconscionable when you say this! See for yourself, since you married into our family, have your parents felt sorry for you?"
Seeing that her husband was angry, Liu Lian became a little nervous, she took Gao Yuanzhi's hand and said, "Oh, Brother Zhi, I didn't see that my mother was too good to Ah Yue, and I was a little jealous." ”
"So you can complain that our mother treats you badly? You don't look at what people say to our mother? Isn't that also like your own mother?"
Gao Yuanzhi didn't expect his daughter-in-law to have such a mentality, he was a little disappointed and asked three questions in a row, and without waiting for Liu Lian to answer him, he went straight out.
Didn't go back to the house all night.
After Liu Lian saw Gao Yuanzhi angry and went out, she planned to go to him, but she couldn't save face.
In the end, she didn't wait for Gao Yuanzhi, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she was worried that her in-laws would know that she had quarreled with Gao Yuanzhi, so she could only hide in the bed and cry quietly.
The next day, when the two met, Liu Lian wanted to reconcile with Gao Yuanzhi, but Gao Yuanzhi was still angry with her and deliberately avoided her.
Liu Lian was very sad, but in front of everyone, she was embarrassed to show it, afraid that everyone would find out that she had quarreled with Gao Yuanzhi, and that Aunt Gao would ask Gao Yuanzhi why he was angry.
When Xiang Yue'e and Peng Lanlan came over, it was almost noon, and the dumplings wrapped by the Gao family had already been cooked.
"Ah Yue, are you here?" Aunt Gao was very happy when she saw Xiang Yue'e, and when she saw that she was alone, she asked, "Where is Miss Lan? Why didn't you come?"
"Godmother, Happy Dragon Boat Festival!" Xiang Yue'e said, handed the gift in her hand to Aunt Gao, and continued: "Sister Lanlan's family is here, someone brought a letter before, and she went to the supply and marketing cooperative. ”
After Aunt Gao understood, she didn't ask any more, but looking at the things in her hand, she couldn't help but say: "You girl, how many times have you told you not to buy things, don't spend money indiscriminately, you just keep ......"
"Oh, godmother......" Xiang Yue'e took Aunt Gao's arm, rubbed it on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Isn't this my daughter honoring you? ”
"You damn girl!" Aunt Gao nodded Xiang Yue'e's brows, and after saying a word, she happily carried the things Xiang Yue'e bought for her into the house.
Xiang Yue'e didn't follow in, she saw Gao Yuanzhi and Gao Nanxing cutting something together, and walked over with great interest.
After looking at it for a while, she asked, "Brother Yuanzhi, what are you cutting here?"
"Sister Ah Yue, don't you know these?" Gao Nanxing saw Xiang Yue'e coming over, and hurriedly got up to make way for her, he moved a stool and sat down again, and said, "My eldest brother and I are cutting medicinal herbs......
As he spoke, he picked up one of them and asked Xiang Yue'e: "Sister Ah Yue, guess what this is?
Gao Yuanzhi saw his younger brother show off again, he smiled and scolded: "You're amazing!"
His smile was particularly dazzling in the eyes of Liu Lian, who was looking at him all the time.
But the three people gathered around this pile of medicinal herbs didn't see Liu Lian's resentful expression. After Xiang Yuexing asked, she tried hard to figure out what this thing was in her hand.
After thinking for a long time, she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"Hahaha. Gao Nanxing laughed and said proudly: "It turns out that there are things that Ah Yue, a young man of knowledge, don't know......"
"What are you talking about?" Gao Yuanzhi heard Gao Nanxing's words and said to him: "Ah Yue is not studying medicine, so it's normal not to know him. I've been studying with my dad for so many years, and I don't know a lot of medicines?"
"Hmph, I'm just not interested!" Gao Nanxing defended thinking of his hard days studying medicine.
"Really, maybe it's because you're stupid?"
Seeing that Gao Nanxing was about to be provoked by his big brother again, Xiang Yue'e hurriedly became a peacemaker, "Brother Nanxing is not stupid, he just doesn't ...... interested, I'm the same, I can't learn things that I don't for a long, long time."
"Really?" asked Gao Nanxing, his eyes lit up.
Seeing Xiang Yue'e nodding, he laughed and said, "It turns out that Ah Yue is the same as me!"
Gao Yuanzhi thought that his younger brother would be like a fried cat again, but he didn't expect to be appeased by Xiang Yue'e with a word, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Yue'e with admiration, and looked at Xiang Yue'e's eyes becoming more and more gentle.
But there is no man's affection for a woman, but the brother's love for his sister.
But after Liu Lian saw such an expression, she chuckled in her heart and sounded the alarm bell.
