Zhou Zhigang frowned and took a few puffs of cigarette, spreading his legs and sitting on the edge of the kang.
"I heard from your mother that you are very close to a person named Zheng Juan from Taiping Hutong?"
Lin Yue did not deny it: "Yes, we are quite close."
"You said that Chun Yan'er, in our Guangzi film, has to look good, work and work, and be thoughtful. Ah, yes, she is just a little bit worse than your sister Zhou Rong. What is so bad about her? , you actually found a man to go to jail... What is this called? Half a widow? Maybe it's not appropriate to call it that, but it has the same meaning. "
"Dad, Chun Yan'er is married and has children. Do you still think this is interesting?"
As soon as Hao Dongmei saw Zhou Bingyi coming in, she followed her into the back room. When they heard that the old man and the third child were talking about women, Zhou Bingyi winked at his wife and prepared to find an excuse to go outside to make room for the father and son. Son, as soon as he stood up, before he could speak, Lin Yue blocked him back.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't leave. Listen to what our dad says. When it's over, you can judge and see who is right between us."
Zhou Zhigang was not happy when he heard this: "What? You still want to argue with your dad and tell the difference between right and wrong? As for Zheng Juan... don't think that I am in Chongqing and don't know the situation at home. Yesterday I saw you Qiao Aunt, she told me, do you know what the neighbors are talking about you? Some people say that if it weren't for you, Zheng Juan would not have returned to live in Taiping Hutong. In order to break up her and Tu Zhiqiang, you reported him on the black market. In this way, no one can stop you, and some people have seen you running to Zheng Juan's house every now and then. What do you do, do you think others don't know? I, Zhou Zhigang, have always acted upright, sat upright, and been honest. , you are innocent, you are old, you have ruined the reputation of the old Zhou family, and you still have the nerve to let your brother and sister-in-law judge? Aren't you ashamed? "
Lin Yue said: "Then you only hear bad things from others, why don't you think carefully about whether what I did is right? Tu Zhiqiang is gay, and his friend almost raped Zheng Juan. If I hadn't arrived in time, a The girl's innocence is gone. If something like this happens, Tu Zhiqiang still has to speak for his friend. Can Zheng Juan get any good results from following such a person? What's more, whether they are from a legal perspective or a de facto marriage, they are not Let’s talk about husband and wife, and let’s talk about Tu Zhiqiang. He knew clearly that Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were engaged in black market business, but he still wanted to help the tyrants. Isn’t it normal for those two people to implicate him after they got in? Oh, could it be possible that Zheng Juan would be involved in this situation? Wait for him? This is a new era, okay? Even in a feudal society, it is normal for a man like Tu Zhiqiang who has been in prison to have his wife remarry someone else. You only notice the unpleasant words, why can't you hear the praises of others? ?”
Zhou Zhigang was annoyed by what he said: "I don't care what's hidden in this, but you are the one who allowed our old Zhou family to be poked in the spine and gossiped about."
If it is topical, it will be ruined or reputable. Forty or fifty years later, the Internet has become popular, and small communities have become large networks. In any movie, TV series, or movie, there are some who say good things and some who say bad things. Those who are on top of the agenda, those who criticize, those who appreciate and praise, those who sympathize and understand, those who care about the matter as it has nothing to do with themselves...
Lin Yue didn't take the rumors about the optical film to heart, but Zhou Zhigang was different. He couldn't stand the Zhou family being the focus and attracting much attention. Of course, if they were all good words, he would be happy. As long as there was a little Disharmonious sounds will amplify themselves countless times and become extremely harsh.
"Why don't you tell my sister this? Back then, she went to the mountains of Guizhou with you behind her back. She married an old man who was ten years older than herself without the orders of her parents or the advice of a matchmaker. This was just a matter of words. My neighbors gossip a lot, don’t you and my mother often teach me and my sister to learn it? I learned it.”
"You...you...you make me mad."
Zhou Zhigang was speechless by his remarks. He was so angry that he smoked his unfiltered cigarette and frowned.
When Li Suhua saw that the old man was frustrated, he glared at Lin Yue: "Kun'er, how can you talk to your father like this?"
Lin Yue said: "It's obviously his double standard first."
"Double standards? What are double standards?"
Not only did Li Suhua and Zhou Zhigang not understand this word, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also looked puzzled.
Lin Yue did not explain. Anyway, everyone knew that it was not a good thing to say.
Zhou Zhigang saw that he had moved out of Zhou Rong, and his confidence was indeed a bit lacking, because the father and daughter had been at odds with each other for three years before he gave in and made a bad start in educating his children.
"Then you are determined to marry Zheng Juan?"
"..."
"I heard someone say that not only does she not have a city registered residence, but she also has an old mother with limited mobility and a blind brother. They will drag you down."
"Speaking of being dragged down by a partner, it's not my turn."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Zhigang thought of Feng Huacheng: "How could your brother-in-law drag your sister down? His salary is higher than all of you now, and he already has a formal employer."
"I didn't say anything about my sister."
"Then who are you talking about?"
There are two boys and one girl in the Zhou family. If he didn't talk about Zhou Rong, could he talk about Zhou Bingyi? Is Hao Dongmei a drag? Are you kidding me? Who doesn't know that the boss of the Zhou family has a good wife?
"my brother."
"Your brother?"
Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingyi together.
The target person himself looked confused and seemed a little unable to sit still. How come all the talk was about him?
Lin Yue took a sip of the dead boiled water on the dining table.
"Three years ago, my brother had the opportunity to leave the Corps and go to a place with a better environment to develop, but he gave up the possibility of advancing to a higher level for his sister-in-law."
Zhou Zhigang took away the cigarette, and behind the hazy smoke was a questioning face: "Bingyi, is what Bingkun said true?"
The old man's voice was unusually deep, like sandpaper grinding against a wall.
Zhou Bingyi didn't know how his younger brother knew about what happened in his unit, but now there was no need to hide it, so he glanced at the embarrassed Hao Dongmei and nodded in agreement.
"That's right."
This is good, Zhou Zhigang is a bit stuck. His eldest son chose to stay in his original position for Hao Dongmei, and gave up his future for love. He criticized the third child for the same thing, but did not criticize the eldest son. Is this fair?
The key is that even if you don't feel happy, how can you criticize her in front of your eldest daughter-in-law?
At this time, Lin Yue spoke again. If the above words were bad news, then this sentence was a bolt from the blue for Zhou Zhigang and his wife.
"And I also heard that my sister-in-law lost her footing and fell into a well while fetching water. Although she was rushed to the hospital in time to save her life, the cold water in winter has caused the disease and she can no longer have children. Dad, I want to ask you, what is the difference between these eldest brothers? Is my life considered a drag, lighter or heavier than Zheng Juan's mother and Guangming's drag on me?"
