"Then what happens next?" The aunt in blue continued to ask.
"Then the Zhang family felt that they had lost face in the village, and the girl He Qinqin refused to work, so the Zhang family wanted their son to divorce her. No, it was called a divorce, and they had to get divorced. The eighty yuan gift will be refunded."
"They said they spent a lot of money to marry a wife without even touching her. Then they must pay back the money, and they can marry another one."
"Then the He family can agree?" The aunt in blue asked uncertainly, "Who doesn't know who He Qinqin's mother is? She will definitely not return the money."
"Who says it's not the case? He Qinqin ran home crying, and her mother kicked her out. She also threatened that since the Zhang family spent money to marry her daughter, her daughter is a member of the Zhang family, and they can do whatever they want with her. .”
The aunt in blue was so shocked, "He Qinqin's mother means that she agrees with the Zhang family's old man having a baby with his daughter-in-law?"
"Isn't that what it means? He Qinqin couldn't accept it when she heard it, and jumped into the river. Someone happened to be passing by and rescued her, otherwise..." The aunt in black sighed, "I really feel sorry for that child. There’s no one in Xiucun who doesn’t praise her, but now she’s in this situation.”
"What a crime! It's spread to these two families." The aunt in blue also sighed.
After Su Qingyun heard these words from behind, she no longer knew how to react. The ugliness of human nature made her feel cold.
She remembered that when she first arrived here, she also committed suicide by jumping into the river, but she was much luckier than He Qinqin. She had family members who always cared, loved and supported her, and she had the courage to bear the consequences of anything.
But He Qinqin didn't, and even her own family didn't care about her. She had nothing but to end her life. Even if she was saved, she still didn't know how to go in the future.
Although she had only met He Qinqin once, she could tell that she was a sensible and polite girl. It was a pity that she was born in such a family. As long as she could not stand on her own feet, she would not be able to get up from the quagmire.
Su Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this. Although she knew that this kind of thing would exist in any era, the empathy between the same girls still filled her heart with a strong sense of discomfort.
Her face turned pale. Wu Guixiang next to her woke up at this time. Looking at her face, she suddenly asked worriedly: "Bao, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Mom, maybe it's a little uncomfortable riding in the car." There were many people in the car, so Su Qingyun didn't say much.
Wu Guixiang frowned and looked at her, but did not continue to ask.
When the bus arrived at the county, the three of them got off the bus. Wu Guixiang looked at Su Qingyun who still looked distracted, and asked seriously: "Yunyun, what happened?"
"What's wrong, mother, what happened just now?" Li Xiulian was also confused.
Both of them looked at Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun sighed and recounted everything she heard in the car just now. After speaking, Wu Guixiang and Li Xiulian fell silent.
"The Zhang family actually did such a thing?" Li Xiulian reacted and said in disbelief, "This is so inhuman!"
"Then it's true that the He family is their daughter no matter what, but they really pushed her into the fire pit. How could they let her go?"
Even though she was an outsider and was celebrating the holidays, Li Xiulian inevitably felt a little sorry for He Qinqin.
Wu Guixiang's face was extremely cold, "There's nothing a mother like He Qinqin can't do. Have you forgotten the time she poured dirty water on Cong Jun?"
"It's really pitiful." Li Xiulian didn't know what to say.
However, while feeling sorry for He Qinqin, Li Xiulian was also a little lucky. Fortunately, her family joined the army and did not marry the He family. Otherwise, she would not know what her life would be like in the future.
People like the He family are like sniffing at the sight of a dirty cat. If Congjun marries He Qinqin, he will definitely be taken advantage of by the He family.
Wu Guixiang's mood is also a bit complicated. She has lived for so many years and has seen a lot of humiliating things, some even uglier than this. But times are different now. It is not the society where men were oppressed and exploited before. Women should all learn to stand up and resist.
"He Qinqin can't stand up on her own, and no one can help her." Wu Guixiang said lightly. She had the same idea as Su Qingyun.
In the final analysis, the crux lies with He Qinqin. As long as she has the courage to fight, she will be better off than she is now.
"How can she stand up as a girl? Her father doesn't love her mother." Li Xiulian has never read much since she was a child, and her experience is not enough. Her ideas are still relatively old-fashioned. She always feels that girls leave their men and leave their families. People can no longer live.
"Why can't she stand up?" Wu Guixiang asked her, "As for the things she encountered, if she doesn't want to, she can go to the Women's Federation. Now in the new society, forced marriage is illegal, and the oppression she received is also illegal. It shouldn’t exist, as long as she can expose it, someone will help her and make decisions for her.”
"Can it still be like this?" Li Xiulian asked blankly.
"Of course." Wu Guixiang said firmly.
Su Qingyun looked at her mother with strange eyes. She had always known that her mother was very open-minded, but she didn't expect that she knew so much.
"Okay, let's go, there's still business to do." Wu Guixiang said, talking for so long that she almost forgot about the business.
"good."
The three of them walked to the county department store. The first floor was for daily necessities, the second floor was for cloth and clothes, and quilts were also on the second floor.
The three of them planned to choose a thermos bottle on the first floor and then go up to the second floor to take a look.
Su Qingyun took a look and saw that the thermos bottles were all colorful. People like this now, they look festive.
Wu Guixiang quickly chose a thermos bottle with big red flowers on it. She nodded. What she was most satisfied with was that there was a fat and white doll on it, which looked perfect for the occasion.
"This is good." Li Xiulian also saw it and looked happy. She was now looking forward to Sisi giving birth to a fat baby.
"Let's see what else we can buy?" Wu Guixiang said grandly. She had brought enough money today.
"Let's buy two hipas, mother."
"Okay." How much are two handkerchiefs worth? Wu Guixiang nodded.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy with their choice. Su Qingyun was also looking around casually. Soon, they went up to the second floor again. Looking at the dazzling array of fabrics and ready-made clothes, the three of them were almost spoiled for choice.
Li Xiulian looked at a blue skirt hanging and said to Wu Guixiang: "Mom, look at that skirt, does it look good? It happened to be the hottest time when Sisi's belly got bigger. I was thinking about whether to give it to her. She bought a skirt that is breathable and loose-fitting.”
For so many years since she married into the Su family, Wu Guixiang has always taken care of her, treated her well, and was kind to her. She also has a kind personality, so she treats Wen Sisi well.
"Okay." Wu Guixiang nodded. As long as it was good for her great-grandson, she would agree.
The two of them pocketed the skirt again.
Su Qingyun looked at it casually, and suddenly her eyes focused on something. She tugged on the corner of her clothes and said, "Nai, look there, there are clothes for children."
Not far away, there is a row of palm-sized clothes hanging, white, yellow, and pink, all in light colors. They look tender and tender. They must be very cute on the baby.
"Let's go and have a look." Wu Guixiang's eyes lit up.
The three of them, grandfather and grandson, rushed over again.
Li Xiulian touched the soft fabric of the small clothes and nodded, "The material of these clothes is really good. They will definitely not be irritating at all when worn."
"These clothes for children are of course made of good quality. Children's skin is so tender. They can wear coarse linen and linen clothes like us." Wu Guixiang said.
"This style also looks good." Li Xiulian couldn't put it down because she touched it. Although she was also making clothes for her future grandson, there was still a gap compared with these ready-made clothes, mainly because of the style.
Su Qingyun said: "Buy one, baby." Although it was still early for Sister Sisi's baby to be born, she could already imagine how cute these clothes would look on the baby.
"Buy!" Wu Guixiang said boldly.
Li Xiulian looked at the price and was shocked, "Why is it so expensive? It's just a small amount of material."
"Otherwise, forget it, mother, I think the clothes I made are pretty good." Li Xiulian said, this is really too expensive, more expensive than the skirt they just bought.
"Of course good materials are not cheap." Wu Guixiang didn't make a fuss.
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Auntie, let's do this. I'll buy these clothes, and it will be regarded as a gift in advance for the baby of eldest brother and sister Sisi."
"How can that be done? No, no, no." Li Xiulian refused. She was still a child, so how could she give him money?
"It's okay, auntie, I have money." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
The money in her hands is actually not much at all. The previous rewards include the money earned from bicycles, and soon there will be income from repairing sewing machines. It is no exaggeration to say that her father does not necessarily have as much liquidity as Su Qingyun. many.
Wu Guixiang thought for a while and said, "Okay, you buy it."
"Mom, why are you like this?"
"It's okay, this is her intention as an aunt, just accept it." Wu Guixiang knew that Su Qingyun had a lot of money, and it was just a piece of clothing, which was nothing to her.
"After Yunyun bought the clothes, the child will definitely kiss his aunt in the future." According to Wu Guixiang's idea, the whole family has to protect Su Qingyun. Even if the child who joins the army is not born yet, he will definitely kiss his aunt in the future.
Li Xiulian was helpless, "Mom, you are always reasonable, I can't explain you."
"Then buy one." Su Qingyun reached out and picked up a pink one. After thinking about it for a while, she picked up a blue one, "I don't know if the child is a boy or a girl yet, so buy one in each color. "This way it's foolproof.
Wu Guixiang nodded, "Yes, girls wear pink and boys wear blue."
"No, no, no." Su Qingyun shook her head, "Girls can also wear blue, and boys can wear pink. There is no need to differentiate."
Wu Guixiang and Li Xiulian were both stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
