Chapter 46: The Center of Gossip
The courtyard of Lao Xu's house quickly quieted down.
Outside the wall of the east courtyard, Wang Chenggang looked at his wife squatting in the corner of the wall and eavesdropping, and couldn't help but admonish: "What are you doing, how bad it is for people to see, don't do this sneaky thing, it's not a shame!" ”
From the courtyard of the village, they are all next to each other, and Lao Xu's house is in the middle of the village, and there are neighbors on the front and back.
The east yard is Lao Liu's family.
The old Liu family has no son, the only daughter Liu Lihong's son-in-law, who has been living in the old house, Xu Jing wants to call her the third aunt according to her generation, but in fact, Liu Hong is the same age as Xu Lin, twenty-eight this year.
But she married early and gave birth to children early, and her perennial hard work made her lose her young and beautiful face, although she was not fat, her skin was tanned, and fine lines had already climbed on her face.
She wiped the apron in her hand, and before she could walk back from the wall, her little daughter ran in from outside the door.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Wang Liandi tilted her head a little curiously, she didn't know why her mother was standing under the wall, but she didn't be curious for long, so she ran to her father and spread her little palms.
"Dad, look, this is the candy that Sister Jing sent us, it's delicious!"
In the small black palm of the child, he pinched a piece of white rabbit and a fruit dan peel.
She got two pieces of sugar, one of which she couldn't wait to stuff into her mouth, and now she smiled sweetly as she said to her father.
Wang Chenggang looked at his daughter's happiness, and smiled innocently, "If you love to eat, your father will buy it for you when he has money!" ”
Thinking that the sugar was given to his daughter by Xu Jing, Wang Chenggang also felt a touch of gratitude in his heart.
The father and daughter were laughing, but a crisp slap suddenly sounded.
Liu Lihong slapped her daughter's face: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat every day, and I don't know if there are any good things to keep for your sister!" is the same as Xu Jing next door, so lazy and selfish! ”
As she spoke, she snatched the candy and fruit peel from her daughter's hand and kicked them into the pocket of her apron.
Wang Liandi was slapped by her mother and cried out.
Wang Chenggang looked at the aggrieved appearance of the little girl, and was angry, glaring at the daughter-in-law who suddenly went crazy and said angrily: "You have nothing to do nonsense, the child is so young, you hit the head, and you are not afraid of breaking it!" ”
Wang Chenggang lowered his head and rubbed his daughter's face, but couldn't help complaining: "People are just living a good life, what are you jealous of?" Xu Jing gave her daughter a few pieces of candy is also kind, but fortunately there is no one in the yard, otherwise people will hear it, like something! ”
After being married for so many years, how could Wang Chenggang not know what kind of character his daughter-in-law had.
To put it bluntly, she is jealous that other people's lives are better than her.
But his words were completely poked at Liu Lihong's backbone.
Liu Lihong jumped to her feet and scolded: "I'm jealous of her? You fart! ”
"A dead fat pig who is lazy and lazy, what do I have to be jealous of her! Don't look at what kind of virtue she is, she is worthy of being compared with me! ”
Wang Chenggang looked at his daughter-in-law's peacock and couldn't help but say: "I couldn't compare with you before, but now Xiaojing is much better looking than you, and she is not lazy when she goes out to work. ”
Liu Lihong was so angry by her husband's words that she vomited blood.
Thinking of Xu Jing's appearance in the early years, she was ashamed to be a neighbor of the old Xu family, if it weren't for the bad feng shui of the old Xu family, how could she not get married and finally find a son-in-law.
She used to be the number one beauty in the village row, even if she got married and gave birth to a child, she was also a well-known and good-looking little daughter-in-law in the village, how could she be compared to someone like Xu Jing.
Liu Lihong has always regarded herself very highly, relying on her parents to have no son, she is an only daughter, and she is very arrogant.
But now, Xu Jing suddenly lost weight, and she knew that she had gone to work in the city, earned a lot of money, and raised her with big fish and meat every day, and her skin was much whiter and tenderer than theirs.
Now no one in the village praises Xu Jing for her good looks!
Think about yourself again......
Liu Lihong was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was even more jealous when she thought that Xu Jing had just said that she would go to the hospital to send clothes to Old Man Xu and Song Dongquan.
Xu Jing's kind of person even found a man like Song Dongquan, not to mention becoming a military wife, and he can still spend his man's allowance, which is really unreasonable!
Thinking about it carefully, Song Dongquan is three years younger than her, if it weren't for the orphans and widows of his family, her parents would not look down on the old Song family, how could it be the turn of the old man of the Xu family to come to the door and let Song Dongquan marry Xu Jing!
Then she won't find a cowardly and incompetent son-in-law, and she won't even be able to give birth to a son.
The more Liu Lihong thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Jing had robbed her of her good life, looking at her man's nest, her anger suddenly rushed to the top of her head, and she scolded.
"You! The old lady doesn't believe it, a slut who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, what other good way can he get money! I think her money is earned by selling skins and meat! ”
"Look at her hooking up with the two brothers of the old Song family, the Song family is not at home, and the little brother-in-law runs into the sister-in-law's house all day long, something!"
"Why do you go into the city every day? Grow into that vixen, I don't know how many men you hooked up, you are a waste and want to drill other people's quilts, you are not too dirty! ”
"Liu Lihong, what are you talking about, don't frame people!" Wang Chenggang heard his daughter-in-law's bottomless words, and he jumped to his feet in anger.
Liu Lihong was not to be outdone: "You are a wreck who is the son-in-law of others, and you dare to shout to the old lady!" I'll kill you! ”
Soon, the two people in the yard scuffled, and the two children were dumbfounded, and they were also so frightened that they cried and became a mess.
When the people in the village heard the crying, they hurriedly came over to persuade them, listening to the conversation between the two, and they all remembered Xu Jing's changes during this time, and they started to talk about it.
And Xu Jing had no idea that she had become the center of gossip in the village again.
