On Lu Songli's side, the two little girls Qin Jia and Qin Zhen found it strange to see a grown man crying with snot and tears.
"Aunt Six, that uncle is crying."
Because the men of the Qin family bleed but do not shed tears, they have never seen their father and uncles cry. Even the youngest Uncle Liu, they had never seen him cry.
"It's normal, because he regrets it." Lu Songli called the two little girls over, "Don't look, this is by no means the first time he has cried."
The two little girls' eyes widened. How did Aunt Six tell that this wasn't the first time that this uncle cried?
In this universal concept that men should not shed tears easily, it is certainly not the first time that Ma Zhongping has been so open-minded in public in the hall.
A man's tears, especially those who cry all the time, are used to achieve what he wants by being shameless. No matter what he wants, he always cries first, and then wins sympathy and pity to achieve his goal.
"But he seemed to be crying so pitifully."
Lu Songli was not moved at all. Ma Zhongping looks very pitiful now, but he and Qi Zhenniang are just like Haruki Murakami's acceptance speech "High Wall and Eggs", no matter when and where the egg breaks, no matter how reasonable the wall seems to be. Innocent, he is all on the egg's side.
She touched Qin Jia's head and said, "We can't just see him crying, we have to think about why he is crying, and then see if he is pitiful. Ma Zhongping's pity is something he asked for."
Lu Songli's words were actually said by Qi Zhenniang.
Regret is the cheapest thing that means you made a mistake. He has failed to protect his wife and daughter all these years. Now that they are leaving him, does he regret it? What did you do early?
Even though they were ten feet away, they could hear each other's words.
The people in Majia Village heard it, and Qi Zhenniang not far away also heard it. Just now she saw Ma Zhongping crying, and she was very anxious. Now when she heard the conversation between Lu Songli and the two little girls, her heart calmed down inexplicably. She buried her face in her daughter's arms and let her tears fall.
The ladies in Majia Village suddenly stopped complying. They shouted to Lu Songli:
"You woman, why are you so bad? You would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. How do you know how to destroy it?"
"Zhenniang, don't just listen to what outsiders say. You have been married to our Majia Village for so many years, and you know how we treat you. You are right to listen to us. We will not harm you."
Seeing Ma Zhongping crying so pitifully, the eldest ladies in Majia Village couldn't help but loudly persuade Qi Zhenniang.
"Zhenniang, Zhongping knows he was wrong this time, please forgive him, just think it's for your daughter's sake."
"Yes, you are a woman, and you have a daughter with an ear disease. How can you survive in this world?"
"If you can forgive Zhongping this time, he will definitely treat you twice as well in the future."
Hearing these words, Ma Zhongping couldn't help but look at Qi Zhenniang expectantly.
But no matter how the aunt in the village tried to persuade her, Qi Zhenniang refused to look back.
Seeing that she refused to listen to her advice, the ladies who felt that their well-intentioned persuasion had no good results all stopped, and the rest started to ridicule mode.
"Zhenniang is so cruel. A night of kindness will last a hundred days. Besides, Zhongping is also kind to her on weekdays. She left as soon as she said she wanted to leave."
"Her cousin has become rich. It is said that he has become a big landowner. He owns a large piece of land in Longcheng. He kicked Zhongping out and remarried his cousin. From now on, he will be able to live in a prosperous and spicy manner."
"Perhaps Mrs. Ma is not slandering, she and her cousin may really have an affair, but I can't provide any evidence."
"This is completely possible. Otherwise, after so many years, why would she want to divorce now? She must have found a better one."
"Don't say that. It's normal for a woman to dislike poverty and love wealth."
Qi Zhenniang was trembling with anger when she heard these gossips.
Lu Songli gave her a calm look. This person from Majia Village was so annoying!
You are in the wrong, and you know it very well, but you still want to blame the woman. Later, you will know what it means to suffer without being able to speak out! Lu Songli snorted coldly.
Lu Songli reached out and scratched Qin Jia's palm, then winked at her.
Qin Jia knew that this was a secret code between them, which meant she could cooperate.
"Aunt Six, are what they said true? Is Aunt Qi really a bad woman?" In fact, she was indeed a little confused. If she is a bad woman, then if the Qin family chooses to help her, wouldn't it mean they have no distinction between right and wrong?
"No, she is a good woman. First of all, let's look at the government's verdict. The county magistrate thinks she is innocent."
The aunt opposite immediately retorted, "It doesn't matter if she is innocent, she just hates being poor and loves being rich." She is Mrs. Ma's sister-in-law. When the Ma family encounters such a thing, they desperately hope that Qi Zhenniang will return to their family. . When they found out that Qi Zhenniang was determined not to look back, it was their family who tried their best to throw dirty water on her.
Lu Songli glanced at her, "How can you say that she dislikes poverty and loves wealth? If she was really such a person, she would not have married Ma Zhongping in the first place."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ma's sister-in-law was choked. She said harshly, "Even if she didn't dislike being poor and loved being rich before, she has become such a person now."
Lu Songli emphasized, "Let me say it again, Qi Zhenniang does not dislike poverty and love wealth, she is just sensible."
"Why is Qi Zhenniang so sensible?"
"Of course Qi Zhenniang is sensible. I have always felt that the atmosphere in Liucheng is good."
There were many people who came to Majia Village to watch. When they heard Lu Songli, a foreigner, praising the atmosphere of Liucheng, they couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"How do you know that Liucheng has a good atmosphere?" Someone from Liucheng couldn't help but ask.
Lu Songli praised seriously, "Of course the atmosphere in Liucheng is good. Look, everyone, male or female, is very sensible. Men are sensible and want to take care of more girls and have more concubines as soon as they have money. Girls My family is also very sensible, knowing that a man has no money, so he won’t be with this man to save him from hardship.”
Everyone: ...This is the first time I heard someone talk about men's lust for concubines and women's dislike of poverty and love of wealth in such a fresh and refined way.
Lu Songli did not forget her purpose in bringing up this incident, "That's what Qi Zhenniang is like. Now that she knows Ma Zhongping has no money, she reconciles with him to spare him the trouble. Isn't this sensible?"
Everyone burst into laughter, except for the people in Majia Village who had dark faces.
The people in Liucheng were the loudest in cheering, "Count it, it must be calculated!"
Everyone in the motorcade: God, you are so sensible, Mrs. Sixth Young Master, when I hear you say this, I really feel that this world is full of love and kindness.
The people in Majia Village were so angry! Where did this woman come from? Her mouth is so good at confusing right and wrong!
Lu Songli touched the heads of Qin Jia and Qin Zhen, and took the opportunity to teach her girls who were less than ten years old, "Jia Jia Zhen Zhen, remember, when we get married in the future, we must keep our eyes open. Let's do our best." Girls, you can’t add burdens to others. Especially those who live in difficulty. If you want to marry, you must be careful. People’s lives are so difficult, and it’s unethical for us to marry into them. "
Qin Jia was confused by what she said, and she always felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that what Aunt Six said made sense.
