It's hot, the hot cicadas are screaming, the leaves are all wilting, and there is no energy at all. However, under the big mulberry tree at the head of Wangjia Village, it is surprisingly lively. The women were all holding big banana fans, and none of them were fanning them. All of them were full of smiles, some were ill-intentioned smiles, some were schadenfreude, some were sympathetic wry, and some were pitiful. In short, the women here have all the expressions on their faces. There are those who listen to other people's gossip quietly, and there are those who talk loudly about gossip and their eyebrows dance, and those who spray saliva on other people's faces. But no woman found it inappropriate to do so.

"You know what? The little widow of the Bai family actually threw herself into the river last night! There was a burst of laughter around him.

"What, throw yourself into the river, are you dead?" The other woman's chubby face was full of excitement, as if she had heard great news.

Another lean woman looked disdainful: "She is embarrassed to live with such a broom star, she should have gone to the river a long time ago, and I don't know what kind of sin the Bai family has made, and she actually has such a daughter-in-law." Only then did he marry the son who entered the door and died, although the youngest son of the Bai family said that his body was not good before, but at least he still breathed a sigh of relief, and this broom star was married back, and it was not there at night. It can be seen how hard this broom star is, we have to stay away, be careful and unlucky. ”

After the woman finished speaking, a large group of seven aunts and eight aunts around her immediately became excited. "No, my old hen doesn't lay eggs for a few days, maybe it's the broom that makes the star. You said that why did this broom star come to our village, why did the Bai family get such a daughter-in-law to return to the village, and they didn't think about it for the people in our village, such a monster can't stay. After speaking, I heard a burst of sighs.

The other woman's eyes lit up with a smug expression, "You don't know that! The Bai family is poor like that, and the family is nested in those dilapidated houses, and it would be good to marry a daughter-in-law. His youngest son was a dying man, and he was also the way pointed out by the village goddess, saying that he wanted to find a house and his daughter-in-law Chongxi, maybe the youngest son of the Bai family would be saved. This is not the Bai family began to think about marrying a daughter-in-law for the youngest son, but the Bai family is poor!

How can a good family be willing to marry a woman to such a family, or to give people joy, maybe what will be like in the end? The old lady of the Bai family felt sorry for her son, and actually found a clean-looking girl in the beggar pile and came back, but she didn't know if it was the girl's house? I was so anxious to get back to the village, and I got a daughter-in-law for nothing. The shrewd and stingy virtue of the old lady Bai, is she willing to spend money to marry her daughter-in-law? It's good to get a beggar back, but I didn't expect to kill her son, and she deserves to be unlucky and greedy. ”

The old lady of the Zhang family on the side, holding a piece of melon in her hand, even eating a piece of belt meat, and a large piece of mud on her hand has not been washed? But I don't care at all, I still eat sweetly, and there is still melon juice hanging on my mouth? With a smug smile on her face, "Old lady Bai still wants to marry Bai Erniu to the city?" I see that there is this broom star daughter-in-law, who dares to ask her that fairy girl. What's easy to play, isn't it just whiter than other girls, and I really think I'm a city lady, and I don't want to go out of the door, and we don't dare to ask for it in the countryside? Whoever is willing to offer a living bodhisattva, isn't that looking for sin? ”

The reason why Mrs. Zhang is so annoyed by the second girl of the Bai family is because her son likes the second girl of the Bai family, and the old lady Zhang still wanted to give some more dowry at most, so that the Bai family agreed to marry the second girl of the Bai family. The person who knew that Mrs. Zhang invited someone to test it, but the person who invited her to test it let Old Lady Bai drive out of the Bai family's courtyard. The old lady Bai also scolded at the entrance of the village with a disdainful face, saying that the toad also wants to eat swan meat, and daydreams. There were a lot of ugly things to say later, and Mrs. Zhang didn't bother to remember them. However, because of the arrogance of the Bai family, regardless of the face of the Zhang family, they actually scolded the street in the village, which really made the Zhang family angry, especially Mrs. Zhang, whose face was flushed with anger.

This Wangjia Village is so big, there are less than 100 families up and down, and there will be more or less people in the village who know what is going on in the house. Now that someone knows, it won't be far from the whole village knowing. It was precisely because Mrs. Zhang knew this that she hated the Bai family's style. The family is looking for someone to test, and the people in the village know more or less. And letting the old lady of the Bai family scold like this, doesn't it make the whole village see their own jokes? If Mrs. Bai understands people, she shouldn't scold in the village, at most she refuses. Why do you have to do something absolutely and let the Zhang family make people see jokes in the village?

Mrs. Zhang knew Mrs. Bai's thoughts, didn't she deliberately make this matter bigger, so that people would know that her second girl was expensive? No matter how expensive it is, a wild girl in the countryside, does she really want to marry into a big family in the city? Mrs. Zhang is not optimistic, maybe she will marry her own son in the future? Looking at the village, there are people in the village who are better than their own sons, with a simple population like their own family, no mother-in-law above, and no young brother-in-law or sister-in-law below. How many girls rush to get married, and they still can't look down on themselves? If the son has been noisy, he has to marry the white second girl, how can he let Mrs. Bai be cheap. In short, Mrs. Zhang hates the Bai family to the core! So anything that can slander the second girl of the Bai family, Mrs. Zhang did it very easily.

No one in the village is stupid, who doesn't know what happened between the Bai family and the Zhang family, this time Mrs. Zhang saw that the Bai family was frustrated, and it was nothing to step on it. Who let the Bai family do everything, and they must make everyone in the village know about it? This is your own sin, and you can't live!

Under the mulberry tree at the head of the village, the sound of women's gossip is more than the constant chirping of cicadas, not to mention how lively it is. However, the Bai family in the other village was dead silent. The old lady of the Bai family was not yet in her early forties, but now it seems that she is in her fifties. It used to be half gray hair, but now it's almost half white. The hair is very messy, just a small bun at the back of the head, but it is loose and has the possibility of falling out at any time. And on the wrinkles on the face, the most obvious are the swollen and ugly eyes that are crying. His eyes are cloudy, and his eyes are blank. There were two large patches on the elbows of the half-worn cloth clothes, which were originally gray-blue, but there were two dark red patches that were obviously incompatible. It looks funny, but no one notices it.

Daddy Bai squatted on the side and smoked a hookah, and the deep frown on his forehead deepened. On a simple wooden board in the middle of the courtyard, a white cloth was spread, and the youngest son of the Bai family lay on it. But now he was motionless, unable to make even his most common cough. There was also a small figure kneeling on the edge of the plank, dressed in old blue clothes, and his hair was tied haphazardly. Her face was a little blue, but her eyes were confused, this was the cheap daughter-in-law that the Bai family was looking for.
