Since Wu Jiu followed Zhou Yongli out to work, the Wu family has left only Wu Gai alone in his hometown, and his daughters, in those years, have married one after another, and they are all married farther, except for the Chinese New Year, they can come back, and there is no time to come back on weekdays.

That year, after Zhou Yongli took Liu Xiaocui and Wu Jiu returned to his hometown with Li Hongmei, Wu Gai was very happy, for, the old man always said, a person's life, the happiest thing, is naturally a family reunion, full of children and grandchildren, seeing his son bring a girlfriend back, naturally happy, of course, at that time Wu Gai was only a middle-aged man in his early fifties, not old, but for the rural people who face the loess all the year round, they are far older than people in the city, People in their fifties look like people in their sixties.

The reason why Zhou Yongli returns to his hometown every year for the New Year is mainly because his father's grave is here, perhaps for this child who has no parents since he was a child, where is his parents' grave, where is his home, and therefore, he will come back every year for the New Year, and in the years when Zhou Yongli went out to work, Zhou Yongli's brick houses all relied on Wu Gai's family to help take care of them, in the case of rain and frost, it has long been leaking and collapsing everywhere.

Of course, Wu Gai did this, firstly, because he thought that Zhou Yongli had no parents since he was a child, and felt that this child was pitiful, for rural people, most rural people are still very kind, and Xu Lang used to stay in the city, a community, in the same unit building, living on the same floor, who lives opposite, whether it is a man or a woman, may not know, second, his son works with Zhou Yongli to make money, to put it bluntly, it is Wu Jiu who works for Zhou Yongli, in order to let Zhou Yongli take care of his son more, What Wu Gai did was nothing.

That year, Zhou Yongli and Liu Xiaocui spent the New Year at Wu Jiu's house, and after the New Year, Zhou Yongli and his party left their hometown Sanli Village again and continued to go out to work and make money.

Maybe it's because the power of love is great, Wu Jiu, who used to procrastinate in everything and slack off, began to do things to make money, Wu Jiu has been working with Zhou Yongli since then, and has been working with Zhou Yongli, moving from site to site, while Liu Xiaocui and Li Hongmei are still working in the factory.

Two years later, at the beginning of the New Year, they also received wedding photos and became husband and wife, Zhou Yongli and his party went out to work again, as a result, less than two months after going out, Wu Jiu took Li Hongmei and Liu Xiaocui back to Sanli Village, the reason why they came back was mainly because Li Hongmei was pregnant, Li Hongmei and Liu Xiaocui resigned from their jobs in the factory and came to live here in Sanli Village.

After Wu Jiu sent the two cousins to his hometown, because he wanted to make money to support the family, Wu Jiu didn't stay at home for long, so he continued to go out, leaving Li Hongmei, the two cousins, and Wu Gai to live.

Liu Xiaocui came to Sanli Village, firstly, to take care of the pregnant Li Hongmei, and secondly, to give Zhou Yongli a home.

After Liu Xiaocui came to Sanli Village, she began to farm like a rural woman, while Zhou Yongli and Wu Jiu worked outside to make money, and the relationship between the two families was originally good, but now, the relationship is even better.

Originally, everything was still very good, but, after a long time, Li Hongmei gave birth to a son to Wu Jiu, the sons are two or three years old, and Liu Xiaocui's stomach has not moved at all, and there is a lack of entertainment activities in the countryside, for rural people who are still relatively backward in thinking, the husband and wife have been married for so many years, and the woman has not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter, gossip is naturally inevitable, Zhou Yongli works outside all the year round, and he doesn't think there is anything, and these gossip can't reach his ears, but Liu Xiaocui lives in the countryside, She has to face those people pointing behind her back every day, and she naturally feels uncomfortable, she has mentioned to Zhou Yongli many times that she wants to go out to work with Zhou Yongli, but Zhou Yongli takes into account that the work he does is on a construction site where all men are doing, and it is not convenient to bring a woman, and secondly, he doesn't want Liu Xiaocui to suffer with him, so he didn't agree.

It wasn't until four years ago, just over two months after the New Year, that Zhou Yongli got the news that Liu Xiaocui was pregnant, and he was so happy that he came back from other places for this matter.

It was a good thing for his daughter-in-law to be pregnant, but when Zhou Yongli returned to his hometown, he could always hear some strange words, saying that there was an improper relationship between his daughter-in-law and Wu Gai, and Zhou Yongli never took it seriously.

It's just that when the child was born, Zhou Yongli found that the child didn't look like himself, and he began to mumble in his heart, could it be that the gossip he heard before was not groundless, but true? Zhou Yongli still didn't believe in it, but the seeds of doubt were still planted.

When Xu Lang heard this, he sighed and said, "I still don't read much." ”

Indeed, the child has just been born, he is only a little older, and his eyebrows and eyes have not grown, how can he see who the child looks like?

Zhou Yongli came back from other places many times during Liu Xiaocui's pregnancy, especially after giving birth, Zhou Yongli even pushed off several projects to accompany Liu Xiaocui and the child.

In the past, when Liu Xiaocui was not pregnant and gave birth to a child, those women always said behind their backs that Liu Xiaocui was an old hen that could not lay eggs, and now, Liu Xiaocui is finally pregnant, and there is a son left, those gossips, not that she is a hen that can't lay eggs, but that the child is not Zhou Yongli's, but Wu Gai's, which makes Zhou Yongli's family very distressed, and they can't figure out why this is so.

Zhou Yongli couldn't figure it out, but Xu Lang understood why, people are jealous animals, especially when they can't see others, like before, Zhou Yongli has no parents since he was a child, and his life is miserable, those people won't say anything gossip, they won't slander him, but they will help him, praise him for being a sensible good boy, and since Zhou Yongli made money outside, and also made money with Wu Jiu, not only made money, but also married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, those who are not as good as Zhou Yongli will naturally be jealous, will be indignant, thinking that a child who has no father or mother since he was a child can make money, why can't their old men make money? Robbery is illegal, it is to go to jail, they will not do it, but it is still okay to say a few sour gossips, and they can be happy, as for Zhou Yongli, what they thought in their hearts after hearing it, they didn't care.

When Wu Liang said this, he didn't continue to speak, but picked up the wine glass with a red face, took a big sip of wine, looked at Xu Lang with shining eyes, and asked, "Why are there always people who can't see others well?" ”

Xu Lang also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, he looked at Wu Liang, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Man is a very complex animal, and they themselves don't know what they want sometimes. ”

Wu Liang nodded, thinking that what Xu Lang said was right.

"After talking about it for a long time, you still didn't say why Li Hongmei poisoned her husband? didn't say why Liu Xiaocui fell to death her own child? Xu Lang said.

"Hey...... It's hard to put into words. Wu Liang took another sip of wine, sighed and said.

"Then take your time."

"Actually, those who gossip behind their backs and chew on the root of their tongues are not completely nonsense." Wu Liang took out a cigarette case, took out one and handed it to Xu Lang, lit one himself, and said while smoking.

"Oh? Could it be that Liu-Xiaocui really has a leg between Wu Gai? Do they have an improper relationship between men and women? Xu Lang raised his eyebrows, paused slightly in the action of lighting a cigarette, raised his head, looked at Wu Liang and asked.

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang shook his head and said: "It's not that there is a leg between Liu Xiaocui and Wu Gai, but there is a leg between Li Hongmei and Wu Gai." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... The husband and daughter-in-law got together? I'll it. Xu Lang was shocked by Wu Liang's words, choked on the smoke, and began to cough violently.
