Chapter 176: The Power of Gossip
83_83758 "The eldest sister is here, hurry up and come in and sit." Erya, do you miss your aunt? Seeing Ye Mei like this, Lu Shan instinctively noticed a trace of abnormality, but she didn't show it, and greeted Ye Mei's mother and daughter with a warm face.
Erya will be four years old after the New Year, and she has always been thinking about Lu Shan, a beautiful aunt, she has not seen Lu Shan for a long time, and now when she sees her, tears suddenly overflow from her eyes.
She stretched out her hands and gestured for Lu Shan to hug her, her little mouth was deflated, and she said in a choked voice: "Aunt Beauty, Dad doesn't want Erya, woo woo woo ......"
"Why wouldn't Dad want Erya, who did Erya listen to?" Lu Shan was shocked, glanced at Ye Mei twice, and saw that a trace of sadness and anger flashed in her eyes, so she asked tentatively, "Eldest sister, did you quarrel with your brother-in-law?" ”
Ye Mei handed Er Ya over, put down the luggage in her hand, sighed faintly, and did not answer Lu Shan's question directly, only asked Zhang Hui about her current situation.
"How's Mom doing now? I've heard, I've heard...... Woo woo, blame me, blame me! Ye Mei couldn't say anything about the rest of the words, thinking that her mother was almost beaten to death, and the culprit of the qiē was herself, her heart was as uncomfortable as a knife and a needle prick, and tears flowed down with it.
Ye Mei covered her mouth with her hands and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, Mom's condition has stabilized, as long as you cultivate well for a month, you can ensure that your body is better than before." Lu Shan comforted softly, she didn't understand the meaning of Ye Mei's words, wasn't the reason why Zhang Hui was injured by the Hu family's revenge because of Ye Gang? Could there be something else going on?
Because Lu Shan is a cultural person and is studying at a medical university, Ye Mei is convinced of her words. Knowing that Zhang Hui was out of danger, Ye Mei was so excited that she almost didn't catch her breath, Lu Shan hurriedly put down Erya, calmed her breath, poured another cup of warm boiled water and handed it to her. It took a while for Ye Mei to completely calm down.
After this movement, the people in the room woke up one after another, and they were all surprised to see Ye Mei and Erya, especially the travel bag on the ground.
Ye Dezheng frowned, looking worried, he looked at Ye Mei and Erya, and finally couldn't help asking: "What are you doing, quarreling with Jianguo?" ”
"Dad, I can't get along with Jianguo!" Ye Mei covered her face, and replied angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can a husband and wife not quarrel? If you don't quarrel, it's a stone, not a person, you say you're a mother, why are you so ignorant? In this cold winter, before dawn, you will take Erya out, and you are not afraid of freezing her! Ye Dezheng scolded her twice, with a bit of hatred in his expression, but there was a hint of distress in his eyes.
Whose daughter hurts, Ye Mei has been very sensible since she was a child, and she knew how to work for the family to reduce the burden when she was very young. Because the family is poor and there is a younger brother below, she stopped studying after finishing primary school, and went home early to work to earn centimeters, until the beginning of the decade, when the rural land was contracted to the household, and she followed the family to serve more than a dozen acres of land. Ye Mei works diligently, her hands and feet are quick, she respects her parents and loves her younger brother, she has good food and clothes to follow her parents and younger brother first, and she rushes to do rough work first. Such a caring daughter, let alone being adopted, even a biological daughter can't do this.
When Ye Mei reached the age of saying goodbye, Ye Dezheng and Zhang Hui also found a good in-law family for her. If you want to say that Lin Jianguo has no other advantages, but he is absolutely honest and sincere, whether it is for Ye Mei or his father-in-law, it is sincerely good. Ye Mei married him, although it is impossible to be rich and rich, and there is no small wealth, but at least he can live his life. There must be small quarrels in ordinary times, but they are absolutely harmless, and they are typical rural couples.
And Lin Jianguo's parents are also good to Ye Mei, the daughter-in-law, although it is impossible to dig out their hearts and lungs, but at least they will not put small shoes on Ye Mei and torture her all day long like other evil mothers-in-law. However, no one is perfect, Ye Mei's father-in-law is a stuffy gourd, and he can't open his mouth once in half a year, but her mother-in-law is the opposite, very broken-mouthed. If she can find someone to go to that station, she can chat and gossip with people for seven days and seven nights without repetition, which is enough to show her mother-in-law's skills.
In this era, the cultural level of the peasants was generally low, and most rural women had a problem with broken mouths, and they usually got together to set up the east and the west. These people don't have any bad intentions, chatting and gossiping is entertainment in the spare time, but they don't understand how terrifying the power of public opinion is, and gossip can often kill a person. If the unmarried girl's family had spoken a few more words to a young man, it would have been less than half a day to make sure that the women of the whole village knew about it. Moreover, during this period, no less than ten versions of the story of the girl and the man can be fabricated.
Originally, Ye Mei's mother-in-law and Zhang Hui usually didn't have much contact, and in this era, it was most taboo to slander each other. But this time Zhang Hui was beaten, and it was bad on the mouth of Ye Mei's mother-in-law.
Hu Lingling's imprisonment, to be honest, can really be described as a "coffee table".
Originally, she was doing her job well, counting her banknotes, even if she swept away pornography at this time, it would be difficult to sweep her old fritters who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years. But she is too self-aware, she always treats others as fools, and when she found out that Ye Gang, who was poor and ugly Ye Gang, who was despised by herself, is now mixing well in the army, she started the idea that she shouldn't fight.
She began to stalk Ye Gang, and because of the distance, she also went to Ye Gang's resident unit many times to see him. At that time, the soldiers were very simple, and when they saw a fashionably dressed beauty coming to Ye Gang, they all thought that they were Ye Gang's object, which had a great impact on Ye Gang and made him miserable. After warning Hu Lingling many times, Hu Lingling actually intensified and talked about her engagement to him everywhere. The two were indeed engaged, but as early as when Hu Lingling was so obvious that she didn't like Ye Gang, the two families had tacitly dissolved the relationship. Unexpectedly, it became the basis for Hu Lingling's rumors, and her actions completely angered Ye Gang.
Don't look at Ye Gang's usual taciturn and honest appearance, once he meets someone who annoys him, those bad intentions will be used on others as if they don't want to be disciplined. Ye Gang deliberately took a few days off and went to the southern city where Hu Lingling worked in a special camp, and used his own advantages to find out Hu Lingling's bottom line, and thought of a way to send her to prison.
Although he did this secretly, in order not to let his family be confused and let Hu Lingling calculate, he still wrote back to his family to briefly mention this matter. The letter that Ye Gang wrote home was usually picked up by Ye Mei, and then brought back to read to the second elder of the Ye family, so Ye Mei also knew about Hu Lingling, and she knew it meant that Lin Jianguo knew. Lin Jianguo didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Gang's doing, and once he said it as a joke during dinner. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and others didn't.
This matter quickly spread through the mouth of Granny Ye Mei, and somehow it spread to Hujia Village, letting the Hu family know the truth. The Hu family itself hated the Ye family for not doing things in an authentic way, which made them miss Ye Gang, a son-in-law with a bright future, and now after knowing the ins and outs of Hu Lingling's imprisonment, they hated the Ye family to the end. Especially when they learned that the Ye family had recently bought a TV and installed a fan, and they could still make a tooth sacrifice several times a week, which made the Hu family hate and jealous, and they were so red-eyed.
Hu Lingling's father Hu Lao Er immediately called more than a dozen relatives of his own family, ran to the Ye family with a fierce eye, and clamored for the Ye family to accompany Hu Lingling's youth loss fee, 20,000 yuan!
Zhang Hui happened to be home alone that day, not to mention that she didn't have 20,000 yuan, even if she did, it was impossible to really give the Hu family a group of hungry wolves. Zhang Hui's evil attitude of not giving money to live or die angered Hu Laoer, and he called a few brothers to beat her to the point that she almost lost her life.
Ye Mei cried and cried and explained the causes and consequences of Zhang Hui's beating, and said that she was all to blame for this and that it was her fault.
Lu Shan comforted her a few more words, seeing that Ye Dezheng was looking at Ye Mei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, knowing that he was the same as himself, and expressed doubts about the reason for Ye Mei and Lin Jianguo's quarrel.
Although this matter was spread by Ye Mei's mother-in-law's mouth, and finally led the Hu family to come to the door to beat Zhang Hui, but in the final analysis, she really didn't blame her mother-in-law for this matter. Knowing that her mother-in-law is a mouth-to-mouth person, she can still tell Lin Jianguo such an important matter, she can only blame herself for not thinking it through. With Ye Mei's simple character, she would never be angry with her mother-in-law because of this incident, and then quarreled with Lin Jianguo.
There must be another reason for her quarrel with Lin Jianguo.
However, as a brother-in-law, Lu Shan was not easy to ask about the matter between Ye Mei and his wife, so she picked up Erya and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
It's Erya, a heartless child, who has just experienced a cry, and now she can't help but be happy when she sees Lu Shan make her favorite fragrant noodles. Lu Shan also learned some information about the quarrel between Lin Jianguo and Ye Mei from her mouth, Lu Shan thoughtfully threw noodles into the pot, and secretly said that this year's Spring Festival may not be so festive.
Ye Mei finished breakfast and went back to Ye's house in Liuli Village that day.
She quarreled with her husband, and it was okay to go back to her parents' house, but there was no reason to stay at her brother-in-law's mother's house. Because Zhang Hui's body was temporarily unsuitable for moving, Ye Dezheng gave Ye Mei the key to the house and asked her to take Erya back to live first.
This stay was directly until Ye Gang went home.
During this period, Lu Shan never saw Lin Jianguo come to look for Ye Mei, and of course, he never heard him go back to Liuli Village to find Ye Mei. Looking at Ye Dezheng's face becoming heavier day by day, Lu Shan intuitively felt that this time the matter was a bit strict
