In the evening, the neighbors had just returned to Yunyong Lane from the county government office.
At this time, everyone was busy discussing the case in the court today where Mrs. Zhang and her family were finally vindicated.
Everyone's eyes were filled with hearty pleasure.
After all, the Zhao family can be brought to justice and the Zhang family can be cleared. This has always been what everyone wants to see.
Now that everything has become a reality, how can everyone be unhappy now?
But when everyone was approaching the alley, they suddenly saw a woman peeking out of the alley.
At the moment, everyone thought it was a thief in the alley, and when they were about to ask questions, a neighbor with a sharp eye recognized the woman as Ji Xiang's mother.
The neighbor immediately said to the others, "That person seems to be Jixiang's mother."
When everyone heard that it was the unruly woman, they just wanted to take a detour immediately. After all, it was just that the woman was not popular in the alley. The main reason was that the woman also had a fierce personality. It was almost impossible for everyone to get along with this woman. Someone who has had a quarrel with.
However, some people suddenly thought that the mother-in-law's biggest support was gone now. Today her husband and son were sent to prison, and everyone felt that their hearts were filled with joy.
Someone obviously wanted to embarrass Jixiang's mother, but when he was about to say something, others immediately stopped his behavior. After all, Jixiang's mother is a mad dog. Usually everyone will take a detour when they see her. Now you provoke her. What she did was not an invitation to scold her? Moreover, she will know about her husband and son going to jail sooner or later, so everyone just needs to wait silently to see her family's jokes about Jixiang's actions.
Therefore, taking this into consideration, everyone just chose to ignore her collectively when passing by her.
When Mrs. Zhao saw everyone coming, she had the intention to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she could not continue to ask. After all, these people were all people who had good friends with Mrs. Zhang in daily life, and they were always familiar with her. I have always cared about it, and I have only quarreled with everyone here, so everyone usually ignores each other. Now if I ask more questions, I am afraid I will just humiliate myself and not get a response.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhao opened her lips several times, but in the end she still didn't ask anything.
And everyone ignored Mrs. Zhao, and everyone just chose to pass by Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the people passing by, pretending to be calm and looking away like a normal person.
However, after everyone left, her spirit collapsed again.
After all, her husband and son go to work on weekdays, and they should be back by now. It will be curfew in a while, and no one dares to stay outside for too long.
But now her husband and son have not returned yet, and she feels extremely worried just thinking about it. .
Moreover, her son and husband went to the Yamen to report to the officials. Could it be that they were detained by the officials.
But just thinking about it, Mrs. Zhao felt that this was impossible. After all, she was the victim, and it was impossible for the county government to arrest the person who reported the crime.
But if they were not detained by the government, why haven't they come back yet?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao only felt more and more worried.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the drums were beating loudly, Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait for anyone anymore, so she had no choice but to return to the yard.
After a night of chaotic dreams, panic, and restless sleep, Mrs. Zhao got up late today.
By the time she got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
And it was because she heard a knock on the door that she just woke up from her dream.
After hearing the knock on the door, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed. She just felt that her husband and son must have returned at this time.
She stood up in a hurry. She rushed to open the door and said loudly to the people outside the door, "Why did you come back today? Where did you all die? I'm worried to death."
However, after the words fell, as the door opened, what Mrs. Zhao saw was not her husband and son who had not returned home all night.
The person coming is
Aunt Ji, who has some acquaintance with Mrs. Zhao, loves to steal and often steal sheep, so her reputation in Yunyong Lane is only as good as Mrs. Zhao.
They also have similar odors, and the two often interact with each other.
Auntie Ji looked at Mrs. Zhao up and down, and then she just said hastily, "You didn't just get up, did you?"
Mrs. Zhao had some embarrassment on her face. She wanted to defend herself, "I almost didn't close my eyes last night. I slept for a while when it was almost dawn. I didn't expect it to be at this hour."
Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Aunt Ji took a breath first, and then she sighed heavily, "Oh, you are really not in a hurry. You don't know yet! Your husband and son are being detained by the government!"
Hearing Aunt Ji's words, Mrs. Zhao was obviously stunned. It was obvious that she still couldn't believe this fact.
After all, this was what she was most afraid of last night.
Unexpectedly, this happened.
She immediately and subconsciously deceived herself and said, "This is impossible. How could my son and my husband be detained by the government? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Aunt Ji immediately said, "How could it be a joke! People in the alley are talking about this now? It's spread everywhere, and you can still sleep. I really admire you. .”
After hearing Aunt Ji's words, Mrs. Zhao immediately asked, "What's the explanation outside?"
Aunt Ji just said expressionlessly, "What other explanations could there be, other than those explanations."
After saying this, Aunt Ji suddenly turned her eyes, and then her eyes only fell on the small vegetable garden behind Mrs. Zhao.
Then she suddenly said, "Oh, the sunflowers in your garden are so fresh and tender, but the sunflowers in my house are not growing at all? Why don't you pinch them for me?"
As soon as Aunt Ji was halfway through her words, her desire to take advantage came to her again, and Mrs. Zhao almost became so angry that she tied her knot.
Mrs. Zhao was not a generous person either. She refused politely without thinking, "Why pinch me? It's not like you don't have any seeds at home!"
"Aren't my own ones not grown yet? What's wrong with pinching you? I told you such a big news, so I pinched you a handful of sunflower seeds. If I hadn't told you, you would still be kept in the dark. Come on!" After saying this, Aunt Ji walked past Mrs. Zhao into the yard.
However, Mrs. Zhao stopped Aunt Ji at this time. How could she let Aunt Ji take advantage of her own family?
"Ji Shufen, don't think that just by telling me this I can let you pinch my food! I don't even have enough food at home, so you still want to pinch it?"
After the words fell, Mrs. Zhao only felt that Aunt Ji was probably talking nonsense. Therefore, she was not polite immediately and just issued an eviction order to Aunt Ji.
"And you said that my husband and son were detained by the government. They made no mistakes. How could the government detain them? I think you are talking nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao kicked Aunt Ji out again after some output.
Aunt Ji was blocked and couldn't enter the house, so Aunt Ji could only be rude.
Aunt Ji was also angry. At this time, she couldn't care less about selling information about Mrs. Zhao's family.
She just scolded angrily, "You are really biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart! I kindly told you the news that your husband and son were detained by the government. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. How can you still argue with me? If I hadn't seen you If you have some friendship with me, I won’t come to your door!”
"Repay your family's innocence? If your family is really innocent, how could it be detained by the government?"
Aunt Ji was locked out and only cursed.
The other people in the alley naturally just listened and had fun.
Mrs. Zhao originally didn't want to talk to Aunt Ji today. After all, Ji Shufen was a very talkative person, so talking to her would take a lot of effort.
She is now worried about her husband and son, so how can she have the energy to argue with Ji Shufen.
However, Ji Shufen refused to give in. She actually had the nerve to talk about her harsh treatment of her daughter-in-law.
"If your family were kind people, how could your daughter-in-law run away on her own? It's really ridiculous. Every day, your daughter-in-law wakes up earlier than chickens, goes to bed later than cows, and eats less than worms. Who doesn't know your virtue? !」
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was naturally unconvinced.
In fact, Ji Shufen and she were in the same boat this time. Her family was extremely poor and her son had finally found a new wife. She was also trying to show off her wealth as a mother-in-law.
It's a pity that the bride's family is not a vegetarian. When word of Ji Shufen's humiliation reached the bride's family, the bride's eldest brothers came over to support their only sister.
They smashed the Ji family's things, punished several elders of the Ji family, and even scolded Ji Shufen severely.
The Ji family was afraid of causing trouble, so they ordered Ji Shufen to take good care of the bride. After all, Ji Shufen was afraid of her husband and son, so she did not dare to continue to embarrass the bride.
Therefore, when she heard Ji Shufen talk about her own affairs, Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. She opened the door directly and put her hands on her hips and started scolding Ji Shufen, "You have the nerve to criticize me, but you want to tease your wife like this, but do you dare?" My eldest brother is such a bigot, do you dare? Aren’t you just being crushed to death by your daughter-in-law’s family! You are a coward and you blame others for their tricks!”
"Besides, why are you yelling and scolding me in front of my door! You don't have the means to deal with your daughter-in-law. You don't think that I can be dealt with by you. You don't think that if my son's husband is not at home, you can bully me. Come on! It’s really ridiculous. If you don’t have the ability or the means, just go back and take care of yourself and take more care of your wife. Otherwise, your brother will come over and smash your house and beat him up! You have to give it to others again. Kneel down and kowtow to find someone to beg for mercy! Don't blame me for not reminding you then."
The two of them went back and forth, only to stab each other in the heart.
And it is obvious that since Aunt Ji can get together with Mrs. Zhao, their three views are actually the same.
