Chapter 106: Hearsay
When my aunt heard that her niece was talking to someone, she was very happy for her. Today, she went to her mother-in-law's house for the first time, and she was worried about her again. She leaned over and shook Xiaohong's hand and said, "The people in these ten miles and eight villages, as long as they are men and women in their forties and fifties, I really know a lot, and it is really not too difficult to inquire about individuals." I'll go out in a moment to find a reliable person to help you ask, and within an hour, I'll be able to know everything about his family. Fifth sister, which tun is this child from? I won't ask his mother, just ask his father! ”
After the old aunt finished speaking, she turned around and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, this is a lifelong event in your life, you can't treat it as child's play." Besides, the children of our family keep their duties, and today's people can't see anything just by looking at the surface, so don't be picky. What my aunt told you are all good things, women can't find a good man for a lifetime, and men can't make good friends, if you think you're not ready, I'm going to help you find out! If you inquire well, don't say anything, pretend not to know anything, if you don't inquire well, don't blame your aunt for being troublesome, she doesn't speak well, and if it's broken as soon as possible, let's pick a good one elsewhere. "Auntie's tricks made Xiaohong cry and laugh. What age is this, and if you find a partner, you have to check the eight generations of ancestors. I didn't do the census, and I inquired so carefully behind my back, if Ren Haoxuan knew, I wouldn't be angry!
But my aunt had to find someone to check the details of the family, and she was embarrassed to stop her. It's almost at the doorstep anyway. If they like to check, they can check. As long as there are no problems between the two of them, she doesn't care about anything.
Xiaohong smiled, her aunt is really weird, she speaks godly, and it makes people scratch their heads. She didn't even think about these things she said, let alone prepare for them. Xiaohong just laughed, she closed up and didn't say anything. In fact, she was also nervous in her heart, and she was also afraid of extraneous branches. However, she is optimistic about one person, as for what the people in Ren Haoxuan's family are like, she really hasn't thought about it carefully. She hadn't seen his family for a while, and she hadn't really thought about that much trouble. Now listening to her aunt's scare, she really has no bottom in her heart. Because, none of the people my mother once inquired about his family said anything good about his family, what is the reason for this? She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xiaohong's object is surnamed Ren, from Delong Village, this village is in the southeast of your village, it seems that it is less than twenty miles away from you, it is relatively close to the Dongjiang River, and there are a lot of people fishing and shrimp in the village, regardless of men and women, all of them are very strong. I heard that his father is a guest in the village, especially able to say, the famous iron mouth, who has a red and white happy event, and guarantees to respond to requests, he is like Mu Guiying, and he can't fall for a while. This kind of gossip is really funny, Xiaohong's mother said that it was smooth, and she didn't think about having a brother-in-law next to her. But the words have already been spoken, even if the brother-in-law laughs at himself behind his back and wants to take it back, it is impossible.
"If you say that, I really have a little impression of this person, this surname is quite special, the whole Tunzi is a household, it seems that we are still a little bit of a relative. I don't know if you remember, the second sister of the uncle's family lives in their village and is related to this surname. If the second sister is still alive, go to her and ask her, and you will understand everything. It's a pity that the second sister is a short-lived ghost, she didn't enjoy a day of happiness, she died of illness at a young age, she died, the children are not close to us, and when they grow up, they will have no contact, and I don't know how they are doing. Ay! Otherwise, how can I say that my aunt is close, and I have been close from generation to generation, and I have discounted my bones and tendons. Aunt kiss, not considered kiss, aunt died and broke off. How nice it would be if she were still alive! When the old aunt talked about the sadness, she couldn't help but shed a few tears. When Xiaohong's mother heard this, she also burst into tears.
"Mom, who are you talking about? How come I haven't heard you say it before? Xiaohong saw that the two of them were talking lively, and hurriedly asked. This was many years ago, and I didn't know you when I said it. Don't say it, don't say it, your second aunt has been gone for so many years, what do you still say about these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains! Xiaohong's mother rubbed her eyes vigorously, turned her heart sideways, and swallowed back what she was about to say.
Xiaohong didn't know the truth, so she didn't continue to investigate the bottom of the matter. She sat there quietly with her head down, clasping her hands together and rubbing them back and forth, her brows furrowed, her eyes staring at the ground, looking pitiful. But no matter what her mother and aunt said, she was so stubborn waiting for Ren Haoxuan to come and pick her up.
The door opened, and the aunt's youngest son, Erjiang, walked in from outside. He was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he spoke coarsely and loudly, and he was accustomed to bad habits. Because he was spoiled by his grandparents at home, he was used to acting like a young master all day long. He didn't study well in school, he fished and dried nets for three days, and was found by teachers all day long. Not only did he not know how to repent, but he also made some indiscreet people in the village, and even the blind could be angry. has grandparents to support him, and his aunt can't control him, and there is nothing she can do with him.
It can be seen that the poor raise a delicate son, and the old brother-in-law is too lazy to care about him, so he has repeatedly promoted his ruffianism. Now, he walked in the door, wandering around with a pair of big eyes, and when he saw Xiaohong's mother sitting there, he shook his head lightly and said with a strange smile: "Fifth aunt, Sister Hong, when did you come?" Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll organize a group to pick you up halfway? "Don't talk about forming a group, even if he goes to pick up Xiaohong alone, he has to use his No. 11 legs to measure back step by step, talking nonsense in broad daylight, it's too unreliable. Looking at his flamboyant appearance, Xiaohong's mother wanted to taunt him a few words, but when she thought that he was still a child, she swallowed the words that had already reached her mouth.
So, she owed a debt on the edge of the kang and said with a smile: "Erjiang is back, we just entered the house." When the weekend comes, are you liberated again? Xiaohong's mother looked at Jiang Zi and wanted to ask something else, but when she saw his hippie smile, she stopped talking. After thinking about it, as soon as I entered the door, I talked about the weaknesses of other people's children, which was a bit not good. Erjiang grinned, his mouth full of snow-white teeth, which set off his dark cheeks, as if he had just basked in the sun from the great desert of Africa, and was decorated in black and white.
"Erjiang, you know a lot of people outside, and you have a special task, you should go to the village immediately now, and ask your children about someone. This person's name is Ren Haoxuan, in his twenties, from Delong Village, and now he is working as a correspondent in the township government, see how this person is, inquire about it, go and come back quickly! Er Jiang listened, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he squinted at his aunt, he was very reluctant, but he had to obey, and then he stretched out his hand and pestered his aunt to ask for pocket money.
When he heard his aunt say the name Ren Haoxuan, he was stunned for a moment, then stared at the beads of his eyes and asked:
"This person, I know him too well, he is a friend of Brother Long in our village, a few days ago, I also saw him drink wine at Brother Long's house, this kid is too good to drink, drinking two catties of liquor alone, it's like drinking cold water, nothing happens. Later, for some reason, they drank until midnight and actually fought, probably because they were too fierce in the village, someone secretly called the police, and finally several of them were arrested by the police station. Fifth aunt, you don't know him, why are you asking him? ”
didn't wait for Xiaohong's mother to talk, the old aunt grabbed the topic and said: "Why don't you recognize it, he is the object of your sister Hong's conversation, you look at you child, you don't know the occasion, you don't understand things, you must not talk nonsense." The old aunt's snatching made Erjiang blind, and the corners of her mouth were moved, and the ruffian smiled fully. His jaw shook vigorously in the bright sunlight, and he froze suddenly.
He rolled his eyes, immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There are too many people with the same name now." Maybe the person I'm talking about and the person you're asking about may not be the same person. There have been too many strange things these days, why are you inquiring about it, but you have to inquire about these, I didn't say that he was the one who was arrested drunk? The more he talked, the more chaotic it became, and Erjiang felt that something was wrong, so he greased the soles of his feet and wanted to slip away. When he saw that his aunt was not paying attention, he crept out of the door on his side. As soon as he walked out of the room, he whistled loudly and unscrupulously. Immediately after, the figure disappeared.
Actually, Erjiang said that there was indeed such a thing. However, it was just a misunderstanding. Flipping through the calendar backwards, we have to start with the first time they met. That night, after Ren Haoxuan sent Sun Xiaohong home, he did not return to Mr. Xu's house, he rushed back in the dark, when he passed by the tunzi of Sun Xiaohong's aunt's house, he happened to meet Brother Long in the village, Brother Long is Ren Haoxuan's junior high school classmate, the old classmate has not seen him for a long time, Brother Long has to let Ren Haoxuan drink at home, and it is difficult to be warm, Ren Haoxuan drank a few more glasses. drank together, as well as a few of Brother Long's friends.
After three glasses of wine, they didn't obey the Heavenly Empire, they poured wine one after another, and drank until midnight, Ren Haoxuan was afraid that his family would worry about him, he got off the wine table, and he knew that he had drunk too much, he staggered out of the house, and no one pulled it. While drawing circles on his legs, he pushed his bicycle out of the yard and hurried forward. Brother Long was afraid that Ren Haoxuan would lie down, so he went out with a friend at the wine table to see him off. Ren Haoxuan walked in front, and Brother Long and his friends followed closely behind.
When Ren Haoxuan returned home drunk, he took off his shoes and was about to go to bed when a police car suddenly drove into the house and took him away drunk. The reason is that after he was drunk, he molested two father and daughter in the village with others.
Ren Haoxuan's father was blindsided when he heard it, and he didn't know what was going on, so he followed him to the police station overnight, and when he inquired again, his lungs were about to explode. It turned out that after Ren Haoxuan left the village, Brother Long and his friends met his ex-girlfriend in the village, and the two of them first had a quarrel. The two of them had a lot of trouble in the village, and they couldn't get along. Later, Brother Long's face was also hung with flowers, and his ex-girlfriend's clothes were also torn, which alarmed the police station case-handling personnel, in order to verify the materials, they drove a police car to Delong Village overnight, and implicated the drunk Ren Haoxuan.
This time it's good, Ren Haoxuan is a show to meet a soldier, and he can't tell if he is polite. Innocently victimized, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he could not clear this heinous crime.
Now, Erjiang, who doesn't know the truth, has just relied on hearsay to pull out this incident and tell it as a joke, which shows how bad the impact of this incident is in the village. This is a fatal blow to Sun Xiaohong. She couldn't believe that Ren Haoxuan could really do such a dirty thing.
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Sun Xiaohong couldn't sit still a little bit, and her face became more and more ugly. Whether it is true or not, Sun Xiaohong was also blindsided, and she immediately confused her thoughts. He never thought that Ren Haoxuan, who was civilized in appearance, would have such a hand, and it seemed that he still overestimated his character. Just now, Sun Xiaohong saw his squeaky appearance, the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, she wanted to step forward and ask what was wrong, but this Erjiang was simply too slippery, he knew that he was careless in his words, and he was afraid that Sister Hong would be too careful, so he hurriedly flashed out.
