Suddenly, she heard a woman talking to Wu Xiaofeng from a position downstairs where she couldn't see her. After listening further, she knew it was Gong Yawen.
After leaving Gong Xuefen's rented house, she did not leave. Instead, she lurked in the dark like a rabbit and finally caught the "rabbit".
The general content of their conversation she heard was that Gong Yawen complained that Wu Xiaofeng had not returned to his home in Kapok Village for a long time, and that he was avoiding her and building a love nest with other women outside, so he couldn't be happier.
Wu Xiaofeng turned around and denied it, and asked Gong Yawen to see if there was another woman in the car to prove his innocence.
He explained that he was not going back to his hometown these days because he was too busy with work, and told Gong Yawen not to make wild guesses. He also said to Gong Yawen, you can live with me in the suite on the third floor tonight!
Hum, do a good deed and send me back! After dinner, I only said that I was going out to visit, and I didn’t tell your mother that I was staying out all night.
Gong Xuefen saw Gong Yawen's shadow moving closer to Wu Xiaofeng on the balcony, and said in a more serious tone, if I don't go back to Kapok Village, your mother will die of panic, and the child will have to be fed at night!
Then let's go back to Kapok Village together, so as not to worry about my mother being at home.
Gong Xuefen heard Wu Xiaofeng say this and saw Gong Yawen and her husband get into the car together. Then the car started, turned around, and when the horn honked, the car slowly drove out of the venue in front of the building and headed towards the night shrouded in darkness. Speeding away on the other side of the town street.
One morning a few days later, Gong Yawen was sitting in front of the door breastfeeding her child. She saw Xue Mu driving a walking tractor past the field. She remembered something and immediately asked Xue Mu to stop.
She walked over with her chubby child in her arms and was about to speak when the smell of smoke from the car made her cough slightly. She quickly stretched out her palms to cover the child's nostrils for fear that he would also be choked.
Xue Mu looked at her with a funny smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I smell a lot of cigarette smoke every day. It's okay."
Gong Yawen ignored this and went straight to the topic, Xue Mu, are you going to the town? Bring me 20 yuan of pork.
As she spoke, she held the child in her arms with one hand and took out her wallet with the other.
Xue Mu smiled and said, "No, let your husband give me a Zhonghua cigarette so I can smoke it."
Next time, make sure he gives you Zhonghua cigarettes, not just one, but a pack. Gong Yawen took out the money and was about to hand it to him.
Xue Mu shook his head and said, Just kidding, who wants your cigarettes? do you know? A box of Zhonghua cigarettes costs 70 yuan, which buys four or five kilograms of pork. Wouldn’t it be a loss if you gave me such expensive cigarettes? But your husband is quite generous. Last time I met Sigui, he said that your husband gave him a carton of Zhonghua cigarettes! Worth a fortune.
Gong Yawen was stunned and thought to himself: Why did Wu Xiaofeng give him such expensive cigarettes? But now was not the time to talk about this matter. Gong Yawen wanted to put the money into his hand, but found that his hands were extremely rough, like a tree trunk with bark.
She didn't want to touch her white, tender and slender hand, so she put it on the empty seat next to the driver's seat in front of the tractor and said, "I'll thank you if you bring me 20 yuan of pork."
Xue Mu didn't pick up the money, but said to Sister Gong, I'm not going to Kapok Town, I'm only going to the quarry in the neighboring village to haul lime, please take the money back! I won't be responsible if it falls.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? Gong Yawen reached out and took back the 20 yuan note and complained.
Xue Mu started the tractor and looked at her with a funny smile. I didn't say anything late.
Gong Yawen went back to the house and handed the child to Ma. She dressed up a little and went out to Kapok Town.
In Kapok Town, Gong Xuefen buys fresh vegetables from farmers every morning and puts them on the vegetable stalls in the market, waiting for customers to buy.
On this day, she was bargaining with a customer to sell a cabbage when she heard someone calling her. It was a familiar female voice, but she couldn't remember who it was.
I was looking around at the bustling crowd with my eyes wide open when I suddenly found Gong Yawen appearing in front of me, holding a knife and peeling fresh pork in his hand. With a smile on his face, he said, "Is business good?"
Gong Xuefen said, yes.
He then exchanged a few words with her, picked up a handful of pickled vegetables and stuffed it into Gong Yawen's hand, and said politely, Landlord, I'll give this to you, no need to pay.
Gong Yawen felt that giving sauerkraut was like giving jealousy to a woman who was suffering from jealousy, and it would touch the sadness deep in her heart.
Now that her husband rarely comes home, she suspects that her husband is having an affair with a woman outside without telling her. Although there is no proof, a feeling makes her feel sour invisibly. It was given to her for free, and it wasn't a good thing.
In this way, she insisted on not wanting the sauerkraut and pushed it to Gong Xuefen's vegetable table. However, she was still grateful to her and said she didn't want the sauerkraut. If you weigh two large radish, I will pay for it.
Gong Xuefen immediately grabbed two large white radishes, put them into a black soft film bag, handed them to her and said, "No need to pay, I will give them to you."
If you don’t want money, I don’t want carrots. Gong Yawen took out his wallet and said as he took out the money.
Seeing that she was serious, Gong Xuefen weighed the radish and calculated the price. When she paid according to the price, she deliberately added 10 yuan more. Gong Xuefen looked at her and said, "I don't want a penny more."
Gong Yawen approached her affectionately and whispered, I want to ask you something, even if you help me.
Gong Xuefen put the 10 yuan back into Gong Yawen's wallet that had not yet been put back. She already knew what she wanted to ask, so she asked, was it something she had entrusted that night?
Gong Yawen kept nodding and asked her if she noticed any movement?
Gong Xuefen was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said mysteriously, "I found it, but it's hard to talk about it now!"
When will you tell me? Gong Yawen was eager to catch her husband's affair with a wild woman immediately and stared at her and asked.
Gong Xuefen said, let me finish selling a bunch of vegetables.
Seeing that her pile of vegetables was not too much, Gong Yawen said, sell them all to me.
Gong Xuefen replied sheepishly, "How can that be done?"
You weigh these dishes and calculate the money, and I'll buy them all. Gong Yawen took out the wallet he put back in his pocket, looking very excited.
no, I'm fine. Gong Xuefen made gestures as she spoke, then walked to the neighboring stall to say hello to the stall owner, "Please help me take a look. I'll go to the toilet right away."
Gong Xuefen left the stall and did not go to the toilet. Instead, she took Gong Yawen out of the market gate and stood under a relatively quiet camphor tree. She looked at Gong Yawen and said, are you asking about that?
certainly. Gong Yawen nodded, eager to hear what she said about the situation so that she could settle the score with her husband. If her husband didn't buy it, she would tell her uncle, who was the director of the Construction Bureau, to restrain him and see if he behaved improperly.
As her thoughts became more and more complicated, Gong Xuefen told what she knew: That night, not long after you left my rental house, I accidentally heard the honking of a car, went to the balcony and looked down, and found that it was Your man, Mr. Wu, drove downstairs. There happened to be a woman downstairs. I didn't see her face clearly. Mr. Wu took her into the car and drove away. As for where she went, I don't know clearly.
Gong Yawen asked her with a smile, did you really not see clearly who that woman was?
Um. The key is that the car lights were off. When the car lights were on, the woman's face seemed to have deliberately avoided the light of the car lights, so I didn't see clearly, but there was a woman with a similar figure to you who got into Mr. Wu's car. It's absolutely true, I'm not lying to you at all.
After Gong Xuefen vividly described what she saw that night, she also deliberately told Gong Yawen, even if you quarrel with your husband, never say that I saw him fooling around with a wild woman.
After hearing these words, Gong Yawen was very disappointed. She had a strange expression on her face, shook her head several times, and said to Gong Xuefen, I know what you are talking about very well.
Yeah? Gong Xuefen looked at her in surprise.
Gong Yawen gently patted the camphor tree pole and said, because the so-called wild woman you mentioned that was picked up by Mr. Wu in a car that night was none other than me. After I came out of your rental house and went downstairs, I never left. I waited for a long time before I saw my husband, Mr. Wu, driving up...
oh! Is such that. Gong Xuefen pretended to suddenly realize it, and then said smoothly, "Then I didn't find anything else about your husband, that is, I never saw him with another woman."
Gong Xuefen immediately dismissed the idea that Gong Yawen had entrusted her with spying on his man and being her eyes and ears. She was a little pleased, and she immediately left and went back to the vegetable stall.
Gong Yawen was carrying a knife of fresh meat. Although it was light enough, it still felt heavy after holding it for a long time, just like his mood at this moment.
After hearing what Gong Xuefen said, she was a little relieved - her husband was not hanging out with other women after all.
I'm also a little confused - is what Gong Xuefen said credible?
She is still a little disappointed - her husband has not been back to Kapok Village to accompany her for several days. Is it really as busy as he said?
