"Hey, have you heard? It's not even the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Chuanqing beat his daughter, and the beating was weird. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, let me tell you, it's their swallow who is getting along with Jiangzhuang Jianghai's son. ”

"What? The murderer, the one whose wife □□?"

"It's all that family, Yanzi is too young to deceive people, what's the matter in the future, who still wants her! Alas, that Jiang Tao is old and still owes a lot of debts, didn't he jump into the fire pit after him!"

"Bullshit, you two women have it, don't ruin the reputation of the little girl, I know this, didn't my son go out to work last year, or went with Zhiqiang or Jiang Hai and his son Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao's baby is benevolent and righteous, one person does two jobs to earn money to pay off his father's debts, he is as thin as ribs, how can he have the kung fu to deceive the little girl, and besides, they go to the north to work, Yanzi and Meizi work in the south, and they are 108,000 miles away, why can't they go together!" The person who spoke was Zhang Yan's old sister-in-law, who was a neighbor of Zhang Mei's family, and usually had a strong relationship with Zhang Yan's mother Gao Meixia, she knew very well why this happened, plus this person was good-eyed and rare Zhang Yan, and she protected her when she heard people gossip.

"Then why don't others talk about me and talk about their gossip? Yanzi was beaten but it was true, her neighbors could testify, Yan screamed no one, closed the door and beat her mother and scolded inside, the scolding was ugly, and no one dared to persuade a circle of people around her, or Qiangzi ran to tell Sù Yan her milk, her milk went to the place to open the door Yanzi had no sound for a long time, lying on the ground and not moving, her milk thought that she was killed and scared to a bunch of wilted and paralyzed ground, this thing can't be fake?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law was also there at the time, she heard Li Shuangfeng scolding Yanzi for her shameless broken shoes, Yanzi was born to her, she didn't know how to wronged her daughter?"

The eldest sister-in-law also felt that Zhang Chuanqing and his family were not authentic, and they hurt Yanzi, so she hurriedly explained for her: "I really told you to say it, but it wasn't that the two of them wronged Yanzi, the thing is like this, Gao Meixia acted as a matchmaker and told Yanzi to Jiang Tao, Chuanqing disagreed, but Yanzi had to be willing, and talked back to the family, and the two of them wanted to be crooked. ”

"Is that really the case?" said the women.

"That's it, whoever tells a lie is not a person!"

In 2002, the telephone was still a rarity, and it had to be told on two legs.

By the time Zhang Zhiqiang went to sue Jiang Tao and the two returned to Zhangjia Village together, the gossip between Jiang Tao and Zhang Yan had spread throughout the village, and there were various versions.

Rural people have nothing to do during the New Year, they love to get together and chat, Jiang Tao pointed out to people along the way, and an aunt with a broken mouth even shouted to him and said to him: "Jiang Tao is right? Yan beat his father half to death and picked her up at her grandmother's house." ”

Jiang Tao already knew where Zhang Yan was, he was used to people laughing and watching the excitement, and he didn't care, thanked the aunt for reminding him, and continued to walk forward with Zhang Zhiqiang, he planned to go to see Zhang Yan first, and then go to see Zhang Chuanqing, to see what he said.

Zhang Zhiqiang stopped him and persuaded: "It's not appropriate for you to go directly, Yanzi's family thinks you have something wrong with her, and I don't know if you explain it clearly now, you can't add fuel to the fire, my mother and Meizi are at her grandmother's house, and when my mother comes home and talks about the situation, let's find a way." ”

At this time, Gao Meixia was talking to Grandma Zhang Yan in the hall, Grandpa Zhang was standing outside the courtyard alone and smoking, and Zhang Mei was accompanying Zhang Yan in the east room.

Zhang Yan is considered to have given up half her life, her body is swollen one by one, her face is also colorful, her legs hurt and she can't stand at all without help, her stomach hurts all the time, and she doesn't know who kicked her father and her mother, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang took her over, and took turns to persuade her for a long time, she was stunned and didn't speak, she lay straight on her milk bed with her eyes open, didn't cry or make trouble, and Zhang Mei fell into tears.

"Yan, why are you stupid, you won't run away when your father beats you? They have wronged you and Brother Jiang Tao, why don't you explain it clearly! Blame me for it, I don't want to be nosy, and you won't come up with the idea of marrying Brother Jiang Tao, blame me, I hurt you!"

Zhang Yan finally spoke: "Meizi, don't blame you, I want to thank you for introducing Jiang Tao to me, otherwise others will tell me that the matchmaker was pushed away by the family, and I don't have the ability to deal with one for myself, so I have to stay at home to be a cow and a horse for Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei, my parents are very eccentric, and sooner or later they will sell me, I don't want to stay at home, if they don't follow me this time, I will give them my life back." ”

Zhang Yan deliberately said this to Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang originally ignored Gao Meixia, left her there, and sat alone in the hall sighing, but when she heard Zhang Yan speak, she didn't have time to be happy and heard her say that she wanted to die, so frightened that a spirit stood up and ran into the house with her legs: "Don't, Yan, you are angry and tell your grandmother, your milk will give you anger, your grandmother will beat your father, go and beat your mother, you must not think about it!"

When Zhang Yan saw her come in, she didn't speak again, Grandma Zhang was in a hurry, and Gao Meixia came over to persuade her to go out.

"Auntie, let Meizi persuade her in the house, let's come out and talk, good auntie, don't be angry with me, you don't know who I am? Since I married in our village, I haven't done a bad thing for more than 30 years, so if Jiang Tao is really bad, can I tell Yanzi?

"If that's good, why don't you tell him about your own daughter. Grandma Zhang was still angry, although she already knew what had happened, Yan was a good child, and she didn't do that shameful thing, but she was so angry, if it weren't for Gao Meixia's troubles, how could Chuanqing fall out with Yanzi, this is good! The family has become enemies, so that the whole village can follow and watch the jokes.

Gao Meixia knew that this matter was difficult to do, and she was not annoyed when she was rushed, and continued with a smile: "Didn't my sister-in-law tell Meizi first, it was her mother-in-law's nephew, otherwise I really told Jiang Tao to Meizi, as the old saying goes, don't bully young people and be poor, Jiang Tao is a child with ambition, and he can do great things sooner or later! Auntie, when it comes to this, I will tell you the truth, when Jiang Tao and his father Jiang Hai had an accident, how much do you think his family owes?"

"How much?" Grandma Zhang was a little ignorant.

Gao Meixia stretched out five fingers and shook them, and exclaimed: "So much! Put it on other people, you can't afford to pay it back for a lifetime, but Jiang Tao, good guy!" That's amazing, he actually paid it back almost, outsiders don't know the situation, only when his family is poor and dead, and the reputation of his family is not good, no one wants to live with him, but my son plays well with him, I know how much money he makes, sometimes Jiang Tao takes my son with him when he pays back, and he takes out one by one but feels sorry for the dead, this is all earned by Jiang Tao alone, he is a little bigger, but he can't stand up to people who have ability, who doesn't want to find a capable son-in-law!"

"What you said is true?" Grandma Zhang was a little unconvinced, he was a young man who was thin, how could he make money!

"Really! It's more true than steel, I'm a bald leper who lied to you, old aunt, you must understand how knowledgeable you are, this is a kiss, you have to look at the edge of your eyes! Jiang Tao can't look down on others, nor can he look down on my plums, so he thinks that Zhang Yan is capable, this has been looking for a phoenix since ancient times, and people with ability say that daughters-in-law are only looking for capable people, this swallow is so good for people to see, you can't blame me, I am a matchmaker, not that your family can raise people. ”

Everyone loves to listen to what is good, Grandma Zhang's mood is a little smoother, and she doesn't show much face to Zhang Hongxia, Gao Meixia is relieved and continues to persuade.

Zhang Mei was pounding when she heard this, she was frightened by her mother, and wanted to go out to ask her mother, why didn't she know that she said she kissed?

Zhang Yan didn't let her go, Zhang Mei felt like a cat had scratched and sat there, but Zhang Yan knew that in her last life, Zhang Mei married her aunt's nephew, and the two of them lived very well.

Gao Meixia added another effort outside: "You said that you let Yan work, how much money can Yan earn? Tell Xiaonan to use it as a dowry, what about the house, and Xiaobei's? I heard that she is not willing to give the money to your daughter-in-law this year, can she be willing in the future? Yan complained in her heart, blaming the Chuanqing brothers for being eccentric. ”

Grandma Zhang was excited: "Then how can it be regarded as partial, who is not like this? She is a girl, she wants to spill the water, his parents rely on their son for the elderly, and they must not be kind to their son?"

"That's right, but it's not like this now, the child can't help it, besides, I know with you that Yan is good, the people in the village don't know, they will chew their tongues in the future, it's better to let the two children get married now, Yan is capable, and marry a capable one, what will happen to her brother in the future, can she help?"

"It's better to say than to sing, get married! I don't care if he really has the ability to leave and have the ability, his family is poor, how can he get married? Anyway, as much as other people's families collect, my family will collect as much, if I hire him, I will be the master of Yan!"

"Auntie, this is what you said, then I'll go and talk back to Jiang Tao and his grandmother, you are not allowed to regret it. ”

"I don't regret it!"

Gao Meixia's mouth was finally done, and she said hello to Grandma Zhang Yan and went out, she had to quickly reply to Jiang Tao, strike while the iron was hot, and there must be no accidents.

After saying it, Zhang Mei didn't worry about Zhang Yan doing something stupid, she had something in her heart and left with Gao Meixia.

Gao Meixia went out, looked at Zhang Mei next to her, and thought about Zhang Yan again, she always felt weird in her heart, she felt that this matter seemed to be Yan deliberately making a big fuss, to be honest, this family said that Gao Meixia herself was a little confused, I really don't know what Yan thinks, alas, no matter, anyway, the two children can be happy.

"Mom, which nephew of my sister-in-law is? Why didn't I know that you helped me say kiss?"

Gao Meixia's head was stunned, it's too bad! Patronizing and persuading the old lady, she said that she was bald.

"Oops, plums, I have a headache, I've been tired for the past two days!"

"Mom, you're not pretending, are you?"

"Nonsense, which one pretends to be sick during the New Year. ”

"I don't care, you have to make it clear to me if you don't pretend!"

"Meizi, that mother asked you, what do you think of Ermeng, you played with him when you were a child, he didn't fight with you, right? Now that you're older, you see him less, but your aunt knows it, and thinks he is the most suitable for you, and no one dares to bully you with her in the future, Mom can rest assured, besides, aren't you good with Yan, Jiang Tao is in the same village with your aunt, you and Yan are married, and you can play together for the rest of your life, how good." ”

The last sentence pierced Zhang Mei's last hesitation, the whole family felt that Er Meng was good, and the aunt also said that he was good, so it should be ...... If you can marry Yan, hehe, it seems to be very good!

Gao Meixia looked at her silently, knowing that she had passed the test, alas, she was a girl, and she had a mind to the end, and she didn't have an idea of her own, so she said that she wouldn't be bullied to death if she gave it to others, so she should rest assured next to her aunt.
