Volume 1 Budding Feelings Chapter 5 Neighborhood Quarrels

Thinking that her niece had not been harmed substantially, Gu Xiaojuan had planned to pass it like that, but that afternoon, her husband returned home and said that he had been won dozens of yuan by Zhu Ba when he was resting in the morning, which made her angry. Pulling Gu Xinyuan, she rushed to Zhu Ba's house non-stop.

Zhu Ba looked at this woman in a hurry, and teased with some amusement: "Yo! What's the matter, I just won a few dozen dollars from your man in the morning, and you ran over? ā€

"Humph!" Gu Xiaojuan crossed her hands in front of her chest, looked at Zhu Ba with a very arrogant expression and said threateningly, "You'd better give me back the money!" ā€

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ba raised his eyebrows a little speechlessly, and said in a righteous manner, "Let's compete in a dignified manner, I take the money seriously, you are going to play tricks!" ā€

"Dignified, serious?!" Gu Xiaojuan sneered, rolled her eyes, and said mockingly, "Are these words used to describe you?" Sanctimonious hypocrite, you're still one of the few high school students in our village, I'm sorry! ā€

"You-" Zhu Ba was half angry with this unreasonable village woman, but he was absolutely unwilling to say some undignified swear words because he thought highly of himself, so he could only blush-faced "you" for a long time, and finally snorted angrily, "It's really 'only women and villains are difficult to raise'!" ā€

"Don't give me anything to blame, I think you're the villain!" Although Gu Xiaojuan didn't fully understand the meaning of the other party's words, the word "villain" could be heard clearly. She looked at Zhu Ba with disdain, and said provocatively: "If you have the ability to make it difficult, don't say that anyone can understand this!" ā€

"I—I'm too lazy to tell you!" Zhu Ba wanted to say something more difficult to scold this Gu Xiaojuan, but after all, he had graduated for many years, and he had forgotten most of the texts, not to mention that he was not a student who loved to study at that time. Hey, it's really a book that I hate when I use it!

"What a bullshit high school student!" Gu Xiaojuan grabbed Gu Xinyuan's arm, pushed it in front of Zhu Ba, and said coldly, "Tell me, what have you done to our family's Xinyuan?" ā€

"Y-What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Ba looked at the little girl who was pushed over with a panicked expression, took two steps back, and pretended to be calm and said, "She hasn't come to my house yet-"

"Xinyuan has told me everything! You still don't admit it? Gu Xiaojuan looked at Zhu Ba's panicked expression in her chest, and gritted her teeth and threatened, "Believe it or not, I'll call the police!" ā€

"I—I really don't, sister-in-law!" Zhu Ba's attitude immediately softened, he pulled out a dry smile, and said flatteringly, "How can you believe the words of a child!" ā€

"Oh? Is it? Gu Xiaojuan picked her nails with a relaxed expression, pulled Gu Xinyuan over, and said indifferently, "Then let's go directly to the village committee to talk to the village chief!" ā€

Zhu Ba knelt on the ground with a "pass", and said with a frightened face: "Please let me go, I didn't care much about her!" Look, can you just leave it at that? ā€

"Can't!" Gu Xiaojuan was originally the kind of person who "stirred up three points unreasonably", but this time she was already "reasonable", so she was naturally even more aggressive, "You old king!" I won't let you go! ā€

Lao Wang Ba? What is Lao Wangba? Gu Xinyuan rolled her innocent big eyes, and she didn't figure it out with all her brain, but she knew that it was definitely not a good word, so it was better not to say it.

"Tell me, how can you let me go?"

"Well," Gu Xiaojuan buckled her left fingernail and said as a matter of course, "Of course you lost money!" Otherwise, why am I looking for you? ā€

Zhu Ba scratched his short hair in pain, and said helplessly: "I don't have any money!" Who in our village doesn't know that I especially like to play mahjong, and I don't have much money! ā€

"If you don't lose money, why am I coming to you?" Gu Xiaojuan's eyes widened in disbelief, then she sighed and compromised helplessly, "Hey! Okay, you just have to give my man's money back! ā€

"I really don't have any money, sister-in-law!" Zhu Ba hugged his head in pain and whispered, "Money, let me lose again!" ā€

"Don't lie to me! If you don't give me money, I'll let my man beat you!" ā€

"I don't have any money if you beat me, if you don't have it, you don't have it!"

Two people, you don't let me, I won't let you, neither of them will take a step back, and as a result, the louder the noise, which eventually alarms the neighbors.

"Xiaojuan, what's the matter with you?"

"yes, what's the quarrel?"

"Usually Zhu Cripple is so honest, I don't know if I offended you somewhere?"

The people in the village persuaded Gu Xiaojuan sentence by sentence, hoping that the woman could take a step back and open the sky, after all, Zhu Ba has always been an honest and unspeakable person, and in the face of a fierce woman like Gu Xiaojuan, she couldn't resist it after all.

Gu Xiaojuan bit her lip desperately, holding all her anger into her stomach, because she knew that even a five or six-year-old girl doll couldn't be looked down upon, even if she said this kind of thing, who would believe it? I'm afraid that in the end, it's the heart that suffers, because I don't know how long those long-tongued women in the village will spread these things! Therefore, for the sake of Xinyuan's future, she can only accept this nest of gas! Moreover, listening to the description of Xinyuan, it was just a touch of the hand, no big deal! Hey, it's a shame that I didn't get a penny, and I cheapened this dead cripple for nothing.

The people around them muttered and did not stop persuading, one by one sounded like they were fighting, but the excited expressions on their faces, anyone who saw them knew that they were just watching the excitement.

Gu Xiaojuan secretly took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth, and explained in a muffled voice: "I, our family's Xinyuan just ate a few candies from him, but this cripple actually dared to hit my family's Xinyuan, and I couldn't get angry for a while before I quarreled with him!" ā€

Zhu Ba was already ready to 'die', his suffocated red face was buried deep in his chest and he didn't dare to raise it, closing his eyes tightly and waiting for the other party to reveal his crime. At this moment, he only begged the other party to fight quickly, and he was beaten up by the people in the village. However, Zhu Xiaojuan's next words made him almost fall into the honey pot of happiness all of a sudden, he couldn't help laughing, and answered proudly and easily: "Look, didn't I just slap her like this?" It's a quick hand! ā€

"Quick hands? Hum! Gu Xiaojuan took a step forward, stared at the other party's eyes fiercely and resentfully, and shouted loudly: "You dare to stretch out your hand and try it again?" ā€

Zhu Ba was half frightened to death by this deafening sound, and almost sat on the ground, but the overly stern gaze made him dare not sit down, so he could only stand in place trembling and listen to the other party's lecture in a daze.

"The girl of my family, only my family can teach a lesson, in the future, whoever dares to touch a finger of my child," Gu Xinyuan looked around, stared straight at Zhu Ba and continued in a cold tone: "Where I touched it, I will cut off that person, chop it and stuff it into the manure pit!" I, Gu Xiaojuan, spitting is a nail, and I do what I say! ā€

After that, Zhu Ba did not stay in the village for long, and moved to the next village, which is said to be his daughter-in-law Sun Xiaocui.

That night, after dinner, Gu Xiaojuan, who was holding her stomach, pulled Gu Xinyuan to her bedroom, closed the door and beat her niece severely.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Gu Xiaojuan angrily scolded her niece, she just wanted her niece to know what a shameful and dirty thing it was.

"I—I don't know what's wrong!" Gu Xinyuan originally thought that it would be good to let her aunt fight without saying anything, but this time it didn't seem to work, and her aunt just wanted her to say it.

"I'll make you cheap! You say you're not dirty! Can a girl's hand be touched casually by others? When Gu Xiaojuan heard her niece's still stubborn tone, her anger became even stronger, and she pulled the girl over and beat her violently.

"I was wrong! I was so wrong! I won't go to other people's houses in the future! Gu Xinyuan cried loudly, hoping that her aunt would stop beating her.

"I tell you! As a girl, you have to love yourself! If you let others know about this, how can you marry someone in the future! If you do this again, I'll kill you!" The anger on Gu Xiaojuan's face dissipated suddenly, replaced by pain and sympathy, she threw her niece to the ground suddenly, and blamed her voice in pain and depression, "Why don't you know how to protect yourself?" ā€

Gu Xinyuan looked at her aunt's ever-changing expression, and dimly knew that she seemed to have done something wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only cry helplessly and sadly.

"Don't tell anyone about it, do you hear? Here you go, wipe your tears, cry ugly to death! Gu Xiaojuan impatiently threw a handkerchief to her niece, and said with a serious expression: "You are wrong in this matter, and if you are wrong, you have to correct it." If you tell someone else, it's wrong on top of wrong, and you're shameless, you know? Even your parents, grandparents, and grandparents can't say it, do you hear it? It's better to just forget about it! ā€

Gu Xinyuan nodded with a puzzled face, and made up his mind to bury this matter and all the questions about this matter deep in his heart.

After a while, Gu Xiaojuan vented her emotions, quickly put away her tears, and said to Gu Xinyuan with an indifferent expression, "Go back to your room to sleep", and pushed her out of her room.

Since this incident, Gu Xinyuan felt that her aunt hated her even more, she always kept a straight face every time she saw herself, and never gave her a good look again, "disgusting, cheap, dirty, and shameless" have also become some of the most common words that Gu Xiaojuan said when she faced Gu Xinyuan.

Many years later, Gu Xinyuan realized that for a five or six-year-old child, it was a thing that was far beyond her ability to understand, and her aunt used the eyes of looking at dirty things and the evasive attitude she showed when dealing with that thing, which made that incident unconsciously become a 'poisonous' secret hidden deep in her heart.
