Chapter 34: Gossip

"Lou Xiao'e is back today!"

In the evening, in the east wing of the front yard, Wang Zhong and Qin Jingru were sitting at the dining table, eating a simple dinner, Qin Jingru suddenly said.

"Lou Xiao'e?" Wang Chong was a little surprised: "She's back?" โ€

Qin Jingru nodded and said, "It was said that the whole family was going to support the Great Northwest, and the train this evening would come back to say goodbye to the deaf old lady before leaving." โ€

"I guess I've already gotten on the train at this time, I don't know if it's set off." As she spoke, Qin Jingru subconsciously looked and turned her head to look out the window, as if she saw the train parked on the platform, making a piercing whistle, and was about to start.

Looking at Qin Jingru, who seemed to be a little emotional, Wang Zhong asked, "What's the matter?" Looking preoccupied? โ€

Qin Jingru glanced back at Wang Chong, and then immediately retracted his gaze: "I just don't think it's real, it's like a dream!" โ€

"The Lou family is so powerful and rich, who would have thought that Lou Xiao'e, a young lady from such a big family, would marry a projectionist and be kicked by a kick, and now the whole family has to go to the northwest ยทยทยทยทยท"

Before Qin Jingru could finish sighing, he was interrupted by Wang Chong.

"Okay, what do you want to do so much, just live our own lives." Wang Chongdao: "The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body and stop thinking nonsense." โ€

As soon as this woman became pregnant, it was really not the same as usual, and Qin Jingru, who had always been very arrogant in the past, was also sentimental.

"The affairs of the Lou family have nothing to do with us, and they can't involve us, how should our family live."

Qin Jingru knew what Wang Chong meant, but he couldn't help but think about it, thinking about this thing was not under his control at all.

"But I just can't help it!" Qin Jingru said helplessly.

Wang Chong also knows that women love to be cranky when they are pregnant, especially now that there are no entertainment facilities, Qin Jingru has just married Wang Chong not long ago, and she has no friends in the city.

Wang thought about it for a while and said, "It's not a problem for you to be so idle all day, so let's wait for the weekend, let's go back to Qinjiagou, invite your mother back by the way, and let her take care of you for a while. โ€

"Let my mom come and take care of me?" As soon as Qin Jingru heard this, he was directly stunned, the good news came too suddenly, and Qin Jingru was caught off guard.

Wang Chongdao: "Anyway, it's not a busy farm now, your mother stays at home, and your belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it will be difficult to move after a while, so someone else should take care of it." โ€

"Boss! You're so nice! Qin Jingru didn't know what to say, and looked at Wang Chong with great emotion, her big watery eyes flickering.

The news of Lou Xiao'e's family going to the northwest soon spread in the courtyard, and another rumor also quietly spread in the courtyard and in the rolling mill.

It was no one else who reported the Lou family, it was Xu Damao who had just divorced Lou Xiao'e, and the reason was nothing more than that Xu Damao disliked Lou Xiao'e and couldn't have children, and he had just married the young and beautiful Yu Haitang, for fear that Lou Xiao'e would run back to him to make trouble, thinking that he would report the Lou family once and for all.

As soon as the news spread, the rumors in the factory spread, and gossip has been talked about by people throughout the ages, and there is even a tendency to spread more and more outrageous.

"Begonia, do you want to go together?" In the broadcasting room, the bell for getting off work had just struck, and Yu Haitang, as a broadcaster, also began to pack up his things and was ready to go home, and the female colleagues who were in the broadcasting room invited Yu Haitang to leave together.

"Wait, it's going to be right away!" Yu Haitang quickly put things into the satchel, straddled the satchel diagonally over his shoulder, and hurried up.

"Let's go!"

The two walked out side by side, and on the way, the female colleague teased Yu Haitang with a curious face: "Why didn't the one from your family come to pick you up today?" โ€

Yu Haitang said with a smile: "I went to the countryside to show movies, there are several townships, and I have to go for several days!" โ€

Yu Haitang also just knew that the benefits of showing movies in the countryside are much better than those in the city, all kinds of dry goods and specialties, old hens that have been raised for many years, game just caught in the mountains, etc., etc., I can't wait to stuff them all to the projectionist.

Xu Damao, a small projectionist, has a monthly salary similar to that of a stupid pillar, but he is the most chic in the entire courtyard except for Wang Chong, and he doesn't rely on the extra money he gets from going to the countryside to show movies!

Speaking of going to the countryside to show movies, Yu Haitang couldn't help but look forward to what good things Xu Damao would bring back this time!

"I'm in the countryside again!" The female colleague said with envy: "It's good to be able to play movies!" โ€

The two went out of the office building, pushed on the bicycle, and walked side by side along the direction of the flow of people to the factory gate, now it is the point of getting off work, the flow of people is inevitably a little turbulent, wearing uniform blue overalls, and the workers with hats are walking together in twos and threes, chatting, gossiping, and inevitably a little noisy.

Passerby A: "Have you heard, the shareholder surnamed Lou in our factory was reported by his son-in-law!" โ€

Passerby B: "Why haven't you heard about it, this matter has already spread, isn't he Xu Damao who played movies in the Propaganda Department!" โ€

Passerby C: "It is said that Xu Damao disliked his daughter-in-law and couldn't give birth to children, so he kicked people?" โ€

Passerby A shook his head and said with emotion: "This old saying is good, a husband and wife are a hundred days old, this Xu Damao is really ruthless!" โ€

Passerby B: "It's okay to kick someone, and I also reported the person's home, I heard that this matter alarmed the above, and sent an investigation team down to investigate this matter!" โ€

Passerby Ding suddenly interjected: "I think Xu Damao did the right thing, those capitalists don't have a good thing, they know that they are exploiting us, and they should be arrested!" โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€

Yu Haitang listened, and his expression gradually sank.

Out of the factory gate, the two got on their bikes and left separately, but on the way home, Yu Haitang always had some messy thoughts in his mind.

If he can abandon even his wives of chaff, will he abandon me in the future?

He can even report his former father-in-law, if he gets tired of me one day in the future, will he also want to kick me?

He even ยทยทยทยทยทยท

The creature of the woman seems to be a collection of contradictions, from the rolling mill to the No. 95 courtyard of Nanluoguxiang, but in just about ten minutes, it is hard to be taken out of the feeling of a century by Yu Haitang.

With a heavy focus, Yu Haitang came to the front yard, and happened to see Wang Zhong pushing his bicycle, crossing the courtyard gate, and entering the courtyard, with a large stack of medicine bags tied to the back seat of the car.

"It's back!" Yu Haitang took the initiative to say hello to Wang Chong.

The king nodded and said, "Yes! Just came back, are you going out? โ€

Yu Haitang was a little embarrassed and explained: "No, I'm here to find my sister!" โ€

Yu Haitang's sister Yu Li is the wife of Yan Laoxi's eldest son Yan Jiefang, and the younger couple lives in the inverted room on the south side of the west wing.

Wang Chong smiled slightly: "Then you are busy!" โ€

Before he finished speaking, he had already removed the medicine bag from the parked bicycle, pushed open the door and lifted the thick cloth curtain to block the wind and entered the house.

Yu Haitang looked at Wang Chong's back, his expression was unnatural for a moment, he took a deep breath, then retracted his gaze, settled down, and walked quickly to the inverted seat room in the west wing.

Yu Li and Yan Jiefang have just returned home from work, neither of them has a bicycle, they can only walk when they get home from work, and the speed is naturally not as fast as Wang Zhong and Yu Haitang, the two of them have just washed up, and they are about to go to the west wing room for dinner, so Yu Haitang came over.

"Sister!" Yu Haitang lowered his head and grabbed his fingers, obviously feeling a little depressed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Li and Yu Haitang's younger sister have always had a good relationship, but seeing that Yu Haitang is depressed, it is natural to find the root cause.

Yu Haitang said: "I want to talk to you!" โ€

Yu Li immediately glanced at Yan Jiecheng, who was also a visionary, and immediately got up and said, "I'll go see if the meal is ready, if you two sit down and talk slowly." โ€

As he spoke, he consciously went out.

Yu Li looked at Yu Haitang both distressed and helpless: "Is it because of Lou Xiao'e?" โ€

"You know everything?" Yu Haitang was a little surprised.

Yu Li said angrily: "It's spread all over the factory and the yard, can I not know!" โ€

Yu Haitang said with some concern: "Sister, you said that if I can't have children, Xu Damao will also divorce me?" โ€

Yu Li hugged her hand and pinched her chin and thought about it, and then said: "Xu Damao has always had no bottom line in doing things, and there is really this possibility. โ€

"How's that going to work!" Yu Haitang blurted out subconsciously.

Yu Li hurriedly comforted: "How long have you been married, how can you have children so quickly, you see me and your brother-in-law, we have been married for almost two years, don't we have no children!" โ€

"But Ran Qiuye and Qin Jingru got married a little earlier than me, why do they have them?" If it was before, with Yu Haitang's confident temperament, he would never have this kind of thought, and now I don't know if it was stimulated or because of something else, he actually made a little daughter posture.

Yu Li was shocked: "Begonia, what's wrong with you?" Yu Li grabbed Yu Haitang's shoulder suspiciously, shook it gently, and even spoke in a much higher voice.

Yu Haitang's eyes flickered a little: "I don't know, I just..." It's just..."

It's just what it is, but even Yu Haitang herself didn't figure it out, but at this moment, Wang Chong's shadow subconsciously appeared in her mind, thinking of Wang Chong, it was not difficult to think of Qin Jingru, thinking of Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

A girl from the countryside, who is very arrogant and doesn't understand anything, is just such a person, but she snatched away the king she looked down on, and she was pregnant with a child.

Every time I come home from work, seeing Qin Jingru with a big belly is a stimulus for Begonia.

"Hey!" Yu Li sighed, grabbed Yu Haitang's hand and said, "Haitang, those rumors in the factory may not be true, don't think too much." โ€

seemed to guess the worry in Yu Haitang's heart, Yu Li immediately comforted: "You are so beautiful, so capable, and have a good job, which man is willing not to want it!" โ€

"Don't you often say that if you really get to that point, it's not that people don't want you, but you don't want people!"

Yu Haitang also organized the language: "Sister, I'm a little scared!" If it is really the Lou family reported by Xu Damao, then he is too ruthless! Although Lou Xiao'e failed to give him a child, she has been a husband and wife with him for several years, and it doesn't matter if you get together and disperse, but he... But he...

Yu Li continued to comfort: "Okay, okay, it's all a shadowless thing, don't think nonsense, maybe it's a rumor, it may not be true." โ€

"Sister knows what you're worried about, isn't there still me and your brother-in-law! Don't worry, your brother-in-law and I will always be on your side! If Xu Damao really dared to bully you, your brother-in-law and I would definitely not stand idly by. โ€

The two sisters talked in the house for a long time, until Yan Jiecheng came over and asked Yu Li to eat, and the matter came to an end.

Refusing the invitation of her sister and brother-in-law to dinner, Yu Haitang returned to the backyard alone.

Another few days passed, and Xu Damao came back from the countryside again with a large bag of things.

Wang Chong and Qin Jingru also took Qin's mother from the countryside to their home, Wang Chong used a curtain to separate a small space for Qin's mother in the hall, built a bed with wooden boards, and a temporary wardrobe, so that Qin's mother could put a change of clothes and some personal supplies.

Mother Qin was sitting on a small stool at the door, holding a pu fan in her hand, and there was a small stove in front of her, with a medicine pot on it, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine wafted throughout the courtyard in just a moment, and even the two courtyards near the left could not escape.

Seeing a mother Qin sitting at the door boiling medicine dressed as a plainly dressed country woman, Xu Damao had already guessed the identity of Mother Qin.

"Da Mao is back!" Before Xu Damao stepped forward to say hello, the main door of the west wing next door opened, and the three mothers with a basin of clothes walked out of the house.

Because Wang Chong's butterfly instigated its wings, many people and things in the courtyard have changed a lot from the original plot, such as the first uncle, who is still sitting in the position of the first uncle, Xu Damao is not on the throne, and Yan Fugui is still only the third master.

"Three mothers!"

"Washing clothes on such a cold day!"

"No way!" The three mothers looked at the big bags and small bags on Xu Damao's bicycle, and their two eyes immediately released a fine light, and their eyes were shrewd: "Where did Damao get rich?" โ€

"Don't make fun of me!" Xu Damao is such a shrewd person, how can he not see the careful thinking of the third mother: "It's just a little souvenir, nothing else." โ€

"You're still Damao, you're amazing, you can't eat all the local products at home all year round!" The words of the three mothers were full of envy.

Xu Damao said with a smile: "Three mothers, I'll go home and put my things away first, and I won't tell you!" โ€

With that, he pushed his bicycle and hurried away.

The three mothers looked at Xu Damao's back as he left in a hurry, and there was only a cart full of bags and small bags in his eyes, and his eyes were full of envy and regret.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, this is not inappropriate to put on the three mothers, who have been married to Yan Fugui for so many years, and the three mothers have not learned anything else, but they have learned Yan Fugui's calculations to the fullest.

Qin's mother has just arrived, she is not familiar with the place, she doesn't know people, and she is afraid of offending people by opening her mouth, so she naturally won't interject.
