Chapter 41: The Woman with the Long Tongue
Early the next morning, Lu Shan was called by Grandma Lu, and she reflexively looked at her wrist: 04:30, so early!
"Grandma, what are you doing getting up so early?" Although she asked, Lu Shan still picked up the clothes and pants that she had placed next to her pillow last night and set them one by one.
Grandma Lu is dressed very energetically today, and the color is also very bright, it is a cotton coat with a dark red background and gold patterns, her hair is also meticulously combed, and she also wears an old silver hairpin on the back of her head for the first time, which looks particularly temperamental.
She touched Lu Shan's head, with a loving smile on her face, and said, "You kid, why can't this brain turn around since you fell into the water, what day is today, have you forgotten?" ”
Today is the day when Lu Shan holds a banquet.
After Lu Shan sent Ye Gang to the village yesterday morning to meet with his comrades-in-arms, he returned home and told his family about Ye Gang's sudden urgent return to the army. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu felt sorry for her granddaughter, although she was a little unhappy on her face, but she persuaded Lu Shan to understand Ye Gang, and Lu Jue's face was not good at that time, and she wrote the meaning of wanting Lu Shan and Ye Gang to divorce on her face.
To be honest, he admires Ye Gang in his heart. As a man, Ye Gang can fully interpret what a real man is, although he doesn't feel that he is bad, but he is more resilient, more patient, and more calm, and now he can't compare with Ye Gang. But this does not mean that he is very happy that Ye Gang will marry his sister-in-law, and Ye Gang is still absent on the wedding day of the two!
How can he, as an elder brother, feel so good?
In his heart, he took it for granted that his sister was so good, and he should have found a man who could always be by her side to protect her, care for her, and pamper her, instead of a ...... A man who can be absent even from a wedding!
However, at this time, Lu Jue obviously didn't know that there was something even more unacceptable waiting for him.
Early in the morning, the people who came to help yesterday came one after another, and soon, the Lu family's small courtyard became lively.
Lu Shan has no close sisters, and the Lu family has been passed down from generation to generation since Grandpa Lu's grandfather's generation, so according to rural customs, there is only Lu Jue who sends relatives to Lu Shan.
But fortunately, everyone's living conditions are not very good now, and there is no groom, so they are no longer bound by these forms.
Standing in front of the cracked wooden window, Lu Shan listened to the sound coming from the courtyard outside, several gossipy women were talking in low voices, and the content of the speech was naturally today's protagonist Lu Shan.
"Tsk, this second girl of the Lu family is really miserable, my father is gone, not to mention, and she is still such a mother, and now she is married to such a man, alas!" A middle-aged woman who was peeling onions sighed slightly, with a regretful expression on her face.
Standing next to her should be her concubine, with a slightly pointed chin and high cheekbones, who looked a little scathing. The woman was cutting pickles on the side, and kept stuffing them into her mouth by the way, and said gloatingly: "Hehe, I usually look at these two girls who are too goblins, and her man is not around all the year round, I don't believe that she can endure loneliness at such a young age and be willing to stay widowed at home?" ”
The middle-aged woman who had just spoken and several other younger women frowned when they heard this, feeling that this was a bit excessive.
"Auntie, you don't have a door, if this man hears this, be careful that he beats you. It's not like you haven't seen it, that man even dares to beat the mayor's granddaughter! ”
"Shhhh I'm still afraid that he won't make it? If he has a kind of come to beat me, I want to see if he dares to beat an elder in front of many people! The snarky woman snorted, looking very unafraid of Ye Gang, but she didn't dare to say anything bad about Lu Shan anymore, closed her mouth and began to continue cutting pickles.
Fart elder, what kind of elder are you? The other women snorted softly, their faces slightly mocking.
Lu Shan listened to the gossip of several women without changing her face, her hearing was very keen, although the voices of the group of women outside had been extremely low, but it was very clear to her.
Although the scathing woman spoke a little ugly, Lu Shan listened thoughtfully, if she remembered correctly, this woman's situation was similar to her, and her husband was not at home all the year round. Ye Gang is because he is a soldier, and that man is naturally to support his family.
What did the woman say, "I don't believe that she can endure loneliness at such a young age and be willing to stay a widow at home"?
Lu Shan stared at the woman, and saw that her standing posture with her back to her was a little strange, and when she was chopping vegetables, she had to rub her waist with her hands every once in a while, Lu Shan suddenly felt at ease, and a touch of cunning crossed her eyes.
It didn't take long for the Ye family's team to arrive.
Because of the groom's absence, in order to apologize and show the importance of the bride, all the immediate family members of the Ye family and relatives and friends who usually have a good relationship came with them.
In this era, although this situation like Ye Gang and Lu Shan is very rare, it is not impossible, and it is in the countryside, and it is generally more important to pay more attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, so everyone is very tolerant of Ye Gang's absence.
Only a few people will look at Lu Shan with strange eyes, such as the snarky long-tongued woman before-
