Chapter 318: Outwitting
In big cities, it doesn't seem to be common. But in many small towns, there is actually such a phenomenon.
Some aunts in their thirties and forties don't know if they can't, or they don't like to surf the Internet and watch TV. Every day after eating, when I can't stay idle at home, I will go out to talk to others.
Generally, it is a street corner, or a small shop at the entrance of the community.
Three or five, and when there are more, more than a dozen aunts will stand there, basking in the sun and chattering at the same time.
Basking in the sun is just a passing, chatting is the main purpose.
What kind of topic? It has nothing to do with family and country affairs, it's just gossip. Zhang's family, the Li family, is short, whose family has bought a car, and whose son has a future. Whose daughter has come back from Dongguan.
It's a topic like this, and we talk about it for hours every day. But I still have fun running out every day.
It stands to reason that there aren't many topics to talk about in the small town. But there is no topic, and the topic of creation must be talked about.
"Why is the Avenue of Stars not hosted by Grandpa Bi this time?"
"The youngest son of my third aunt's family is in Yanjing. It seems that he saw Grandpa Bi die in a car accident. "Mao, Grandpa Bi was fine, but he was about to be angry with you.
At that time, the rumors of Grandpa Bi's death spread rapidly in this environment.
But this is the case, and there are really some aunts who like to spread rumors like this. The youngest son of her third aunt's family is indeed in Yanjing, which is not easy to lie about, and it is easy to be poked directly in person.
But originally, he hadn't met anyone for a few years, and when he spoke, he had to add such a beginning, just to make the rumors he made sound more credible.
As a result, after a while, Grandpa Bi was fine, and others came to ask her what was going on. "Gee, I don't know either. I did listen to him, and I don't know why the guy lied, as if he was scolded by my third aunt. Looking back, because of her problem, her third aunt actually didn't deal with her for several years.
And this kind of person is actually not an exception.
Putting aside these bizarre situations, in small cities, there are indeed some aunts who like to gather on street corners, or small shops and other places to spread gossip.
There are a lot of rumors, but in fact, the proportion of real things is not low.
A gang of ten aunts in total spread an average of three rumors a day without evidence.
But gossiping for three or four hours a day, talking about dozens of things.
According to the twenty topics discussed in three hours, three topics are rumors, but there are still seventeen topics, which are true.
Lao Lai's TV has long been sold at home, and there is usually no way to entertain. In addition to gambling, I will listen to these parents.
So old guys, experienced.
Sitting behind a low wall, from the outside, Lao Lai's body could not be seen at all.
After the afternoon, I didn't even take a lunch break, and aunts from all walks of life quickly flocked out.
They talk about everything in the world, but in the corner of Xu Lili and them, the special combination of Xu Lili and the old lady still occupies a considerable proportion of topics related to them.
Xiaoyu helped her mother out again, so filial. ”
Leave elsewhere, not wanting to be found by the original enemies. Xu Lili here, she didn't use her real name. The surname has not changed, but the full name has become Xu Yu.
And the old lady, who is not her mother-in-law, has become her own mother.
Xu Lili just wants to live her life quietly, but these aunts are not very happy. Such a filial girl, there is no man at a young age, and she has to serve her mother every day, and she has to find a way to make money, and this day is too hard.
When Xu Lili stayed in Windy City for a short time, she began to have some enthusiastic aunts who wanted to match Xu Lili.
How do you ask Xu Lili to answer? Say there is a man? Where is the man?
When will you be back?
Something happened a few years ago, and now you're not in the mood to talk about marriage?
"Oh, I said Xiaoyu, when you're young, you always want to do these sad things......?
If these aunts don't get the purpose they want, they won't let Xu Lili go at all.
And if there is no man, it is even more necessary to be a matchmaker for Xu Lili.
And since it's a matchmaker, people have to understand the situation, right?
Blindly hiding it, it's not like that. Xu Lili and the old lady are ready to continue to stay in the Windy City, and they don't want to go out and wander anymore. And the situation of the old lady is not suitable for moving now.
So Xu Lili finally gave an explanation that something happened to the man, but now he is still missing, and life and death are not yet certain. Xu Lili wanted to wait. And the old lady is her own mother, so she is so filial.
There is such a saying, and the aunts are not forced to tell Xu Lili the matchmaker.
But every day when I am on the street corner, I can't help but bring up the topic of Xu Lili.
They don't have bad intentions, the main thing is to talk about Xu Lili's situation, and then talk about how pitiful Xu Lili is.
But Lao Lai, in such a situation, heard the information he wanted to hear.
There is no man in front of him, so there is no need to work hard. I help the landlord look after the store every day, and I earn 800 yuan a month.
But with such an income, in addition to feeding two people, he can also take out money that is not small for ordinary people to buy supplements for the old lady. Lao Lai instantly guessed that "Xu Yu"'s family had property.
So what are you waiting for? Find a way to get married, occupy women, and divide property!
As for that man, he has been missing for several years, so what is there to worry about? If Lao Lai remembers correctly, he can close his account after a few years of disappearance.
Lao Lai had already made a decision, but this time, he began to think seriously.
In this case, there is actually a normal solution. There are many people who are not good at character, when they meet such a pretty widow, if they really want to succeed, they are likely to make a sincere appearance, down-to-earth, let the girl like you, and then get married, and then return to their original colors.
But Lao Lai, if he didn't go, he didn't even think about taking this route. Because if Lao Lai appeared in front of Xu Lili, before he won Xu Lili's heart, these aunts in front of him should remind Xu Lili what kind of person Lao Lai is.
So this road, can not be walked.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to get married, you have to find someone to be a matchmaker. However, in the realm of Windy City, who else dares to be a matchmaker for Lao Lai? Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?
So if you want to succeed, you can only "outwit". Lao Lai's so-called outwitting is to find ways to make Xu Lili herself recognize that she wants to marry him. In this case, if the aunts want to persuade them, they can't persuade them, so it's no problem.
