"Don't take the words of those long-tongued women in the team, those people are full and have nothing to do, and they are idle and knocking their teeth." Aunt Chrysanthemum said to Zhou Xiaoran.

Zhou Xiaoran thought to herself, she didn't care about herself, she was not born to Zhou Zhipeng, and she was not wronged, but to say that her parents committed adultery and put Liu Qimei's death on Chen Yun's head is unbearable.

While Zhou Xiaoran was picking corn, he could still feel the fingers from the surroundings.

Her job feeding the pigs was taken away.

The other party is the nephew and daughter-in-law of the brigade party secretary, and Uncle Yougen has tried his best to help her fight for it, but because of the worker, peasant and soldier trainees, Uncle Yougen owes the branch secretary a favor, and there is no way.

So, Zhou Xiaoran followed the women on the team to peel corn.

For this reason, Aunt Chrysanthemum was still a little embarrassed to Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaoran smiled dumbly, what is this, Uncle Yougen doesn't owe her anything, and it is also for Zhou Zhipeng's sake to help her.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll treat them as if they don't exist."

Aunt Chrysanthemum smiled: "Your child is a broad-hearted person, so good, so that you can live a faster life." ”

"Hey, I'm getting married, do you know? The other party is a big cadre of the army, no worse than your target. “

The corners of Zhou Xiaohong's eyebrows and eyes were about to fly out, could it be that she came over to show off to herself?

Zhou Xiaoran smiled: "Congratulations, I finally got my wish." ”

Zhou Xiaohong snorted, it's boring, why isn't Zhou Xiaoran jealous of her?

"The glorious gift was given 200 yuan, and he also said that in the past, I was in charge, and my salary was kept for me, and the treatment of the military wife was good, and there was a subsidy every month."

Zhou Xiaoran continued to laugh: "Yes, that's really good." ”

Zhou Xiaohong felt that Zhou Xiaoran must be pretending to be like this, and she couldn't tell how sour her heart was, who could have her good life?

"Don't worry, even if you are not my second uncle's own daughter, I will not look down on you, as long as you stutter more about me in the future, I can still watch it?" After saying that, he thought of something again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your mother to be so shameless, that kind of thing can be done, tsk, I really didn't see it." ”

"Smack......

Zhou Xiaoran threw the unpeeled corn in his hand on Zhou Xiaohong's face, and suddenly a red stunned mark appeared, Zhou Xiaohong was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoran to make a move, and after a moment of reaction, he screamed and pounced on Zhou Xiaoran, reaching out to scratch his face.

Zhou Xiaoran flexibly took a big step back, Zhou Xiaohong pounced, and wanted to continue to move forward, but was stopped by Aunt Chrysanthemum and Aunt Osmanthus.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble when you work, otherwise you will be deducted points."

Zhou Xiaohong screamed, "Obviously Zhou Xiaoran beat me, why are you pulling me!" Let go of me, I'm going to tear this little wild seed and scratch her face. ”

The eldest aunt also heard the movement here, came over to see the situation, her eyes were split, and she howled, and pushed Aunt Chrysanthemum away, and even took Aunt Osmanthus back a few steps.

The eldest aunt touched the marks on Zhou Xiaohong's face distressedly, and asked hatefully, "Who beat you?" ”

Zhou Xiaohong cried out loudly, "It's that little wild seed, it's her who beat me, mother, you have to help me take revenge." ”

The eldest aunt brushed the ground and looked at Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaoran estimated it, she couldn't beat the eldest aunt, the two aunts hadn't recovered from the push, and the people around them usually didn't come and go, just watching the excitement.

Of course you're going to run away, stay here and be beaten?

So, Zhou Xiaoran ran in front, and the eldest aunt chased behind, crossing the entire brigade and running to the team headquarters.

The captain and the branch secretary are all there.

"Help, kill someone!"

The captain and secretary were taken aback.

Zhou Xiaoran hurriedly hid behind Uncle Yougen, panting.

The eldest aunt wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Aunt Chrysanthemum, who had just arrived.

The branch secretary is a relatively impatient person, plus he robbed Zhou Xiaoran's job before, thinking that he still wanted to appease him, so he yelled directly at the eldest uncle: "You are an elder, how can you be so ignorant, chasing a child and shouting and shouting to kill, it is simply destroying the harmony in the team." ”

The eldest aunt was stunned by the branch secretary's yellation, and it took a while to react, and she cried loudly, "My mother, is there any reason for this, obviously this little rabbit cub beat my family Xiaohong, but he talked about me as a bitter master, and there is no heavenly reason!" ”

The branch secretary was covered by the reflex of the eldest uncle's voice.

Uncle Yougen persuaded with a headache: "If you have anything to say, don't cry and make trouble, Xiaoran, tell me what's going on?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran turned his head to look at it, and made sure that the eldest aunt was pulled by Aunt Chrysanthemum, so he walked out.

The eldest aunt was still crying, and was stopped by the branch secretary slapping the table.

Zhou Xiaoran cleared his throat, "That's the case, Zhou Xiaohong came to talk to me when I was at work, but I didn't expect it to be on my parents when I was talking, saying that my mother and my father hooked up before marriage, and even the death of the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was on my mother's head, Zhou Xiaohong is the Zhou family, what will outsiders think when she says this, inexplicably my mother and I are on the back of the black pot, I, I was angry, so I threw her with a corn core." ”

Zhou Xiaoran said with a crying tone, which was more forbearant and more sympathetic than the aunt's playful crying.

This matter was spread in the team, and of course the captain and the branch secretary knew about it, but the rumors were rumors after all, and they were not easy to deal with.

"Let's do it, let's see how Comrade Zhou Xiaohong's injuries are, do you need to go to the county hospital to see, if so, the medical expenses will be paid by Comrade Zhou Xiaoran."

Just that little bruise, you don't even need to wipe a red potion, and you still need to go to the hospital? Doesn't this make it clear that this little wild species is biased?

The eldest aunt shouted: "No, I don't want medical expenses, I want revenge, I want to fight back." ”

Zhou Xiaoran's eyes rolled, "It's not impossible for you to fight back." ”

The rest of the people all looked at Zhou Xiaoran like fools.

Zhou Xiaoran continued: "Zhou Xiaohong slandered me first, and I did it before I moved, if I can prove that she is not slanderous, I will let you call back." ”

Aunt Chrysanthemum asked suspiciously: "How can this be proven?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran turned to Uncle Yougen and the branch secretary and said: "I ask the whole team to hold a meeting to investigate this matter, if it proves that what Zhou Xiaohong said is true, then I will let the eldest aunt call it back." ”

The captain and the branch secretary looked at each other, how many years ago did this happen, how can they investigate?

The eldest aunt immediately said: "Open, you have to open." ”

She was convinced of Grandma Zhou's words, even if it wasn't true, what evidence could Zhou Xiaoran have, and it wasn't what Grandma Zhou said.

The captain and branch secretary looked at Zhou Xiaoran's resolute attitude and reluctantly agreed.

So, the next day, the team called a meeting of the whole team.

"This conference is to investigate the rumors about the Zhou family some time ago, although Zhou Zhipeng and Chen Yun are not from our poplar brigade, but the other party to the incident, Comrade Zhou Xiaoran has cut into our poplar brigade, and he can be regarded as a member of the poplar brigade, first of all, let's listen to what Comrade Zhou Xiaoran has to say."

Zhou Xiaoran stood in front of the crowd and cleared his throat, "Folks, I am Zhou Xiaoran, an intellectual young man who cut into the team to the poplar brigade, my father's name is Zhou Zhipeng, he used to be a member of the team, he grew up with many uncles and uncles here, and later entered the provincial capital, became a worker, married my mother Chen Yun in February of the 50s, because of premature birth, gave birth to me in September of the same year, before that my father had a marriage, the people in the team know better than me, I will not repeat it, but good people don't live long, Comrade Liu Qimei passed away in the winter of 49, I don't know the reason for the death, but now someone has poured this basin of dirty water on my parents' heads, I am a child, I have to seek justice for my parents, may I ask Comrade Zhou Xiaohong, who told you what you said that day? ”

The marks on Zhou Xiaohong's face have not faded yet, and she is sitting dumbly at this time, what is she going to say? Who told her?

Yes, her mom told her.

"I ...... I listened to my mom. “

The eldest aunt patted Zhou Xiaohong hatefully, and reluctantly spoke, "Yes, I told her, but I also listened to what our old lady said, the old lady is the head of the Zhou family and the mother of the second child, can she still be fake?" ”

The people around nodded their heads, yes, how could there be a mother who framed her son. “

Zhou Xiaoran turned her head and asked Grandma Zhou, "Is what she said true?" ”

Grandma Zhou nodded unnaturally, "I'm not wrong, you weren't my Zhou family's breed." ”

This is the first time that Grandma Zhou has publicly admitted this matter in front of so many people, and the recent rumors seem to have been confirmed, and everyone has exchanged heads and ears, and they have discussed it enthusiastically and excitedly.

"Oh, my poor girl, you died so unjustly."

"My little sister, it's a pity that you have been to someone's house since you were a child, but you haven't had a good life, that old pious woman is a vicious woman, so you left at a young age."

Two voices sounded out of place, and the crowd suddenly became noisy, and some people recognized it, this was the old Zhou family's former in-laws.

The blood on Grandma Zhou's face faded cleanly.

"You two, what are you doing, our brigade is in a meeting, and outsiders are avoiding." The branch secretary shouted.

It was Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu who came.

"Comrade, we are from the Liu family, I am the eldest brother of Liu Yimei, this is her sister-in-law, we are here to seek justice for my sister." Uncle Liu said to the branch secretary.

"Yes, our sister is bitter, the family is poor, can't afford to support her, so I had to send her to the Zhou family to be a child daughter-in-law, I heard that the Zhou family is a kind family, we are all relieved, my sister belly is also angry, gave birth to a son and a daughter to the Zhou family, how do you know that you haven't enjoyed the blessings, so I went." Aunt Liu's crying was suppressed and frustrated, and she was very into the play.

Everyone knows this, and they all stretch their necks and wait for the follow-up.

Aunt Liu saw that everyone was looking at her, and she was a little timid, if she told her about it, what would she do to ask for money from the Zhou family in the future? Thinking about the fifty yuan that had already arrived, and the fifty yuan after the promised thing was completed, Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and did it, Mrs. Zhou, who was dead and slammed the door, sent it away for two or three yuan every time.

"As our mother's family, of course we want to send my sister Yicheng, the old lady of the Zhou family stopped us at first, not letting us see my sister for the last time, or our old lady was shrewd, guessed that there was a ghost, and just lifted the lid of the coffin to ......"

"Who's going to think...... Woo woo, my sister has a bright mark on her neck, and needless to say, she knows the strangeness of death. “

"Mrs. Zhou had to tell us, it turned out that my sister committed suicide, woo, why did my sister commit suicide by abandoning her daughter, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't say why, my mother had no choice but to threaten to go to the ancestral hall to sue her, and Mrs. Zhou told the truth."

"It turned out that she disliked my sister-in-law when she gave birth to Xiaoguang and injured her body and couldn't regenerate, so she wanted to divorce my sister-in-law so that she could rehire Ge's second sister in Gejia Village, but my sister-in-law couldn't think about it for a while...... Woo woo, you conscienceless old woman, return my sister's life. “

Everyone suddenly realized that the old things of more than ten years ago were now spread out under the sun.

Grandma Zhou's lips trembled constantly, "No, no, I didn't kill her, she couldn't think about it herself, I just wanted to marry my son who could give birth, what's wrong with me?" ”

There was a blinding shout at Grandma Zhou: "Everyone has given birth to a son and a daughter, and it can be regarded as following the incense, and if you can't give birth, there's nothing left, why force people to die." ”

Grandma Zhou's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she retorted sharply, "There is only one son, what if I don't support him?" ”

Zhou Xiaoran saw that Grandma Zhou seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly said: "Okay, this can be regarded as proving the innocence of my parents, the eyes of the masses are bright, and there will be no more rumors about my parents in the future." ”

Those who had gossiped were a little embarrassed, and said gossipingly: "Yes, I just said that the second daughter-in-law is not like that kind of person." ”

"Who says it's not, and I don't know who said it."

"I can't see it this Wednesday, I usually look like a good person."

Grandma Zhou listened to these words, drilled into her ears like a knife, only to feel that her eyes were dark and she fainted.
