"Zhou Jinhua? Who is it?" Cheng wanted to ask.
"Oh, she's Tianlei's cousin's daughter. I heard she got divorced and came back to her parents' house," Chen Jiao said.
"Oh, really?" Cheng Xiang responded casually. He had no interest in this person and felt that it had nothing to do with him.
"She is a few years older than brother Tianlei. When they were young, the two families were close to each other. The adults were busy and the children had no one to take care of them. Tianlei was raised by this cousin, and they have a good relationship." Chen Jiao told Cheng Xiangpu With.
"Really? Then you are not young at all, so how can you get divorced?" Divorce is rare in this era, and even fewer are divorced in their 30s. If you can live your life, you can just muddle along.
Chen Jiao shook her head: "The people in the village were talking about it. I listened to it. It seems that she divorced the man. She was the one who wanted to leave. Before leaving, she beat the man and her mother-in-law."
"Really?" Cheng Xiang was interested. Such a personality?
"This Zhou Jinhua is a shrewd one. She used to be famous for being shrewd in the village. When she was working in the production team, the team she led had the highest height and did the most work. I heard that at that time, someone stole the sweet potatoes that her team had shaved. , she kicked him down, and she stripped the thief naked and tied him to a tree."
Cheng Xiang laughed: "So powerful? It's interesting."
Chen Jiao said with some worry: "I'm worried that when she comes back, she will find trouble with you, so be careful."
Cheng Xiang rolled his eyelids: "I didn't provoke her. She can't just look for trouble."
Cheng Xiang stayed for a while and then went home with the fish.
A big fat fish, I want to make boiled fish fillets to eat at night.
As soon as I entered the door happily, I saw a woman sitting on the bench in the yard.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, with curly hair, and her skin was slightly dark and rough, with traces of wind and sun exposure visible.
The woman was licking her legs with her legs crossed, and Qing'er, Zhou Yang and Zhou Tianxing were standing in a row in front of her, listening to her instructions.
The three children hung their heads and listened obediently.
"Qing'er?" Cheng Xiang shouted as soon as he entered the door and saw this scene.
Qing'er looked up and saw Cheng Xiang, her face lit up, and she wanted to run over. The woman looked at her and coughed to clear her throat. Qing'er pouted her little mouth and stood obediently, not daring to move.
The woman turned around and saw Cheng Xiang, frowned and said, "What have you been doing?" Then she looked at the fish in Cheng Xiang's hand: "Goed fishing? Why are you so greedy? Did you leave your child at home and go fishing?"
Cheng Xiang looked at the woman inexplicably: "Who are you?"
The woman stood up and patted the melon seed shells in her hands: "I am Zhou Tianlei, Zhou Tianxing's sister, and the aunt of the little boys."
"Zhou Jinhua?" Cheng Xiang thought of the person Chen Jiao mentioned just now. Could it be that he came to the door so quickly?
Is this posture meant to intimidate me? You, a cousin, can you do this?
The children lowered their heads and raised their eyes to look at Cheng Xiang and nodded to her.
Although Cheng Xiang was displeased, he still greeted him politely: "It turns out to be my cousin. Is there any reason why my cousin came to the house?"
Zhou Jinhua looked Cheng up and down and said, "You were the one who instigated Tian Lei to break up with his stepmother? I heard that you were the one who helped Chen Jiao get divorced?"
She married far away and rarely came back. This time she didn't come back for more than half a year. As soon as she came back, the glorious deeds of Zhou Tianlei's new wife were popularized by the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village.
He is a character. He has done so many great things in just a few days since he came here?
Cheng Xiang said coldly: "Aunt Zhou wanted to divide the family, and we paid enough for it. Chen Jiao's divorce was done by Zhou Tianwang himself, and it has nothing to do with us."
She is so sharp-tongued. It seems that the people in the village are right. This girl is not a good person.
"The village is in an uproar. They said that a man came to look for you. Xiao Leizi fought with others because of you. They also said that you were swinging with a man. Is this the case?" Zhou Jinhua asked with eyes wide open.
Cheng Xiang sighed: "This kind of thing, no matter how others say it, Zhou Tianlei doesn't want me to explain it, so why should I explain it to you? Cousin, if you have nothing to do, I will go cook for the children. Please Just do it."
After saying that, Cheng Xiang carried the fish into the kitchen.
Zhou Jinhua was stunned when she saw that Cheng wanted to throw her aside and didn't take him seriously at all.
She turned back and waved to the children: "Go and play."
The children ran away as if they had received an amnesty order.
Zhou Jinhua walked to the kitchen and watched Cheng Wantang put the fish in the basin, holding a knife and looking left and right, preparing to handle the fish.
Although Cheng Xiang is good at cooking, he is really not very good at killing fish. He usually buys fish and lets the fishmonger kill it for him.
After passing through, Zhou Tianlei usually handles it, or Chen Jiao helps with it.
At this time, Cheng Xiang held the knife and gestured at the fish for a while, thinking about where to start.
Zhou Jinhua leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, watching her gestures for a while, and slowly curled her mouth.
He walked over, grabbed the knife, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "At first glance, you look like you don't know how to work. What can you do, a rich young lady? You can't even kill a fish? Can you cook? How can you raise a child?" How to take care of a man?”
Cheng Xiang listened to her mumbling and looked at her, scraping off the scales of the fish three times, disemboweling it with a knife, and cleaning the fish.
Zhou Jinhua threw the fish and the knife into the basin, looked at Cheng with disdain and thought: "Isn't that enough? Where can I spend a long time doing Tai Chi with the fish?"
Cheng Xiang blinked and said nothing. He washed the fish and started to fillet it.
Zhou Jinhua washed the handle, didn't see the towel, wiped his hands on his buttocks, folded his arms again, leaned against the door frame, and watched Cheng Xiang slice the fish.
"You said you, a young lady from the city, came to our country to do this? What are your intentions? Are you interested in Xiao Leizi's money?
He earns hard money, working day and night. People in the village say that you run around in the city every day and buy things home in big and small bags. Let me tell you, don’t be so prodigal, now that you have married into our countryside. , you should live according to our rural life, live frugally, raise children well, serve your husband well, and do your duty well. "
Cheng ignored her and continued to cook.
"Why bother with a fish? Just stew it and eat it. It's cut like radish slices. How do you eat it?" Zhou Jinhua muttered again.
Just like that, while Cheng wanted to cook, she stood at the door and kept talking.
Seeing that Cheng Xiang couldn't light the fire for a long time, he pushed Cheng Xiang aside and lit the fire slowly.
Cheng Xiang was pushed hard by her, and he staggered a few steps before he could stand still.
Zhou Jinhua looked at Cheng Xiang's swaying appearance and laughed twice: "What can you do with your small body? I heard that you are pregnant? How will you give birth to a baby if your hips are so small?"
Cheng Xiang looked at this woman dumbfounded.
She could see now that this woman was a sharp-tongued woman with a fierce personality, but she had a soft heart.
