Changping Village.
When Xiao An grew up, a man's dignity did not allow him to tell the details of the matter to his most trusted sister.
"Sister, don't worry. How can I be taken advantage of with my skills? I'm just disgusted by that woman's behavior and how disrespectful she is."
"I didn't want to have anything to do with her, and I didn't want to come out from the front door and cause people to gossip, so I climbed over the wall and left."
After hearing Xiao An's explanation, Yang Ruoqing could probably guess the entanglement in his heart, so she nodded and stopped asking the question.
Because the answer is already in her heart.
"It's okay, just think of it as a prank. You're a big man and you won't lose a piece of meat. Let's go home."
When it came to going home, Xiao An hesitated again and looked down at his empty hands.
"Don't worry, I'll explain to my parents about the red dates. You go back to the house, change your clothes, and come over to eat." Yang Ruoqing patted his shoulder again and said.
Xiao An breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully, and the siblings returned home together.
During the next meal, drink, and reception, Xiao An tried his best to act as normal, and neither Yang Huazhong nor Sun noticed anything.
After dinner, Yang Ruoqing returned home and summoned Liu Xueyun.
"Xueyun, go and help me with something."
"Please give me your instructions, sister."
"Well, send me a script..."
…
The eight villages within ten miles of Mianniu Mountain are all people with relatives and friends, and marriages closely connect these villages, large and small.
No matter which village you go to, you can always find a daughter who married in the same village, or the natal family of a daughter-in-law in the same village. If you want to inquire about a person, it is very easy to deliberately bring some information there.
Jinjia Village is a small village next to Zhengjia Village. There is only a small road between the two villages. Usually the old ladies from the two villages sit with stools under the shade of the trees on the small road and do their homework.
The two villages also share a pond for washing, so although they are two villages, they are actually the same as one village.
There was a daughter of the Li Zheng family in Zhengjia Village. She was the shrewd sister-in-law who married Xiaoyu's brother. She was the one who kept staying at Changgen's house and almost deafened the eldest son of Xiaoyu's family. Later, she met Changgen's eldest son. After the son divorced, he was taken back to Zhengjia Village by his father and brother.
Not long after, Zheng Lizheng found a pick-up man for his daughter in Jinjia Village, which was across the road.
The catcher is none other than Xiao Huang, the son of the Dahuang family who was fooling around with Hei Feng.
Xiao Huang and Zheng were childhood sweethearts, and they were already at the age where they were discussing marriage. However, Zheng Lizheng and Chang Gen were drinking at a banquet one time, and learned that the daughter of Chang Gen's family had married into a powerful family in Qing'an County, and Chang Gen His own son had also reached the age of proposing marriage, so Zheng Lizheng became interested.
After returning home, I told my mother-in-law and daughter about it, and it turned out that both mother and daughter were interested.
After Mrs. Zheng married into the Changgen family, she turned the Changgen family upside down. She went to visit her sister-in-law's house in Qing'an County every three days, and asked Xiaoyu to find jobs for the couple in Qing'an County.
At that time, Xiaoyu herself had just married into the Ning family, and she had not yet established her feet. When this sister-in-law interfered, Xiaoyu almost couldn't stay in the Ning family.
Later, Chang Gen and Gui Hua got angry and forced their son to reconcile with his wife, leaving behind a young granddaughter to live with.
Changgen's son was a little reluctant to let go of Mrs. Zheng at first. After all, Mrs. Zheng looked good and often visited Zhengjia Village. Every time he went, his mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law splashed him with foot-washing water. Changgen was so angry that he let her go. If she said harsh words, her son's legs would be broken if he went to Zhengjia Village again, and Guihua would shed tears every day.
He couldn't have this daughter-in-law. If he had this daughter-in-law, his own family wouldn't be able to live in peace. Xiaoyu's Ning family in Qing'an County would not be able to live in peace either.
The last time the son secretly went to Zhengjia Village, he found that the Zheng family was hosting a banquet, and Mrs. Zheng was going to marry Xiao Huang from Jinjia Village.
In fact, when Xiao Huang married into Changping Village out of vanity, Xiao Huang also married a daughter-in-law out of anger.
The daughter-in-law never gave birth to a child. As a result, Zheng and Li returned to their parents' home and set their sights on Xiao Huang again, and they started to get together.
Mrs. Zheng was so confident that she got pregnant after two nights of sleep. When Xiao Huang returned home, he plotted with his parents and divorced his previous wife on the grounds that she could not have children, and married Mr. Zheng.
Zheng Lizheng had such a young daughter. He was so rare that he paid a dowry to the young daughter.
Zheng and Xiao Huang didn't want to farm at home, so Zheng Lizheng and Da Huang sat together and worked together to rent a shop for the couple in Qingshui Town to sell groceries.
The old Dahuang couple usually take care of the farm work at home, and go to the town to help in their free time, so that they can live harmoniously close to each other.
Mrs. Zheng married Mr. Xiao Huang and gave birth to a son, and then a daughter. In her husband's family, she was the daughter-in-law, and even her mother-in-law did not dare to say a word about her.
It’s July, and in a while it will be the Ghost Festival in the middle of July.
There were long benches at the door of Zheng and Xiao Huang's grocery store, with paper ingot candles, garlands and other sacrificial items placed on them.
Mrs. Zheng was busy in the shop, sending away waves of customers. Mrs. Zheng's mother and sister-in-law entered the shop carrying baskets.
"Mom, sister-in-law, are you here to go to the market?"
Mrs. Zheng came out from behind the counter with a smile.
Zheng's wife didn't look very good, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
The sister-in-law supported my mother and looked around the shop, "Where is my uncle?"
Zheng said: "The two children were clamoring for wontons, so Xiao Huang took them to the street to eat wontons."
The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her mother-in-law next to her.
Mrs. Zheng was also a little surprised, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you come in without saying a word and still keeping such a face? Who provoked you?"
Mrs. Zheng asked Mrs. Zheng angrily: "Have you been running out a lot these days?"
Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment, "When the store is out of stock, I have to send him out to restock. Sometimes he has to deliver goods to the small grocery stores in the villages down there. What's up? Why do you ask?"
Mrs. Zheng's lips pursed into a straight line, and her face became longer.
Mrs. Zheng looked confused and looked at the sister-in-law next to her: "What's wrong with my mother?"
The sister-in-law frowned and looked embarrassed.
"Sister, my sister-in-law wants to tell you something. You promise me first not to make any noise, and not to confront my uncle when he comes back."
"What are you talking about?"
The sister-in-law whispered a few words into Zheng's ear.
"What? How is that possible? Xiao Huang doesn't have the courage!"
Zheng's face changed drastically and she exhaled in surprise.
The sister-in-law quickly reached out to cover Zheng's mouth, turned around and looked at the door of the shop, and said urgently: "My good girl, don't yell. If you turn around and call your uncle, he will think that my mother and I are here specifically to instigate the relationship between you and your husband." , then we won’t be able to walk on this road of relatives in your family from now on!"
