Chapter 76

It has been several days since the twelfth lunar month, and since Mrs. Hua came last time, Mrs. Shen has been thinking about Liu Jinglin's marriage, thinking about making a decision before the Chinese New Year.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Shen asked Liu Jingmin to hitch an ox cart and went to Yaojiabao.

Since it's going to see the wife secretly, it must not be too blatant, and everyone knows the trouble.Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the village, Shen asked Liu Jingmin to stop the car, and she got out of the car and walked to the door of the nearest house.

"Is anyone home?" Shen knocked on the iron ring on the gate.

Hearing the sound, a woman with a gray apron around her waist came out of the house, looking suspiciously at Mrs. Shen standing on the threshold.

"Sister, my son and I are going to visit relatives in the south, we are thirsty on the way and want to ask for a bowl of water." Shen said.

The folk customs here are very simple, the woman heard what Shen said, so she put away her suspicions, let Shen and Liu Jingmin into the house, moved a low stool for them to sit on, went into the stove, and brought two A bowl of water comes out.

Regardless of whether she was thirsty or not, Shen picked up the big bowl, gulped down a gulp, and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"Big sister is going to visit relatives in Zhangdian in the south?" The woman sat down on the stool next to her and asked Shen.

Visiting relatives was just an excuse that Shen made up casually. Hearing the woman's question at this time, she replied: "Exactly, the Zhangdian in front."

She paused and said: "There is still a long way to go, why don't I come down to your house to beg for a drink, but please trouble my sister."

"Sister, don't say that, isn't it just a bowl of water, what's the trouble? My family lives in the village, and there are not many people who come here on weekdays. I am eagerly looking forward to someone coming to sit for a while! "The woman laughed.

Because she was about the same age as Chen Shi, this woman quickly became acquainted with Shen Shi, talking about how many sons and daughters they both had, how they are doing now, etc.

"Sister, is there someone named Yao Jinzhu in your village?" Shen asked, and began to bring up the topic of today's purpose.

The woman was puzzled, and replied: "Yes, could it be that the eldest sister knows about him?"

"I know a little bit. My neighbor's son wanted to talk about marriage, so he entrusted Mrs. Hua to her. I happened to be visiting her house that day, and I overheard it. It was said that it was the daughter of Yao Jinzhu's family." Shen Shi said, and leaned closer to the woman's ear and whispered, "I heard that the girl is very handsome, and she has a good hand!"

When the woman heard the words, her face was a little unnatural, she lowered her voice and looked at Shen Shi and asked, "Eldest sister, are you sure, you are really talking about Yao Jinzhu's daughter Yao Lanhua?"

"Yes." Shen nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

The woman did not doubt that he was there, and asked again: "Is the child next door of yours not very agile?"

"How can it be, it's fine." Shen's face was a little unhappy, Jing Lin was obviously fine, so what's wrong with it?
"Oh, that's it", the woman said, looked around, saw no one, suddenly leaned into Shen's ear, and whispered: "Big sister, you and I can talk very well, don't I lied to you."

When Shen heard this, her heart sank a little. Could it be that there is something wrong with that girl?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the woman say: "As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy one marriage. But sister, if your neighbor's child is healthy, then Yao Lanhua can't marry her!"

"What's wrong?" Shen asked hurriedly.

The woman said again: "Then Yao Lanhua has been married before, she was divorced and returned to her natal family."

"Ah?" Shen was very surprised, ever married?Still being suspended?

This unconscionable lady-in-law didn't say a word of truth.Shen's heart was very angry, if Mrs. Hua was present, she would definitely make trouble for her.

"Really?" Although she believed it nine out of ten times, Shen was still not sure, so she asked again, "The lady Hua said it well."

"Aiyo", the woman patted Shen's hand and said: "My eldest sister, out of ten matchmakers, there must be eleven who didn't say a word of the truth."

That woman probably didn't have many people to talk to on weekdays, so she opened up the chatterbox at this moment, and continued: "Yao Lanhua is very handsome, before she was young, many people wanted to propose marriage, her old lady at that time He is not dead yet, so he picked a wealthy family, and I heard that he is a distant relative. As soon as the girl reaches the age of hairpin, she will marry her immediately."

Speaking of this, she sighed: "I also blame Lanhua for her own bad luck. She has been married for four or five years, and her stomach has not moved. The man is old and anxious to have a child. Granny Lanhua is also in a hurry, so she finds a Mr. did the math, it didn’t matter, but it was calculated that Lanhua was destined to have no children. How could the mother-in-law rely on her? That night, she forced her son to write a divorce letter, and she went home.”

Not only was she divorced, but she was also unable to have children!Now Shen is even more angry, why is that woman so happy, she wants her not to be able to hold her grandson, and wants old Liu's family to end?
None of the first and second householders were promising, and they all gave birth to some girls' movies. Now her only hope is all placed on Liu Jinglin.If she married another daughter-in-law who was destined to be childless, this woman would kill her alive.

The more Shen thought about it, the angrier she became, she couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "Why doesn't this woman speak human words, with a red mouth and white teeth?"

"Don't get angry, it's not your business anyway, it's nothing to do with it." The woman comforted Shen, "Let's tell the neighbors when we get back, and let them be more careful."

After all, as I said just now, it’s just about the neighbor’s family. If Mrs. Chen gets angry, she can’t justify it, so she can only suppress her anger for a while, and said with a smile: "Hey, I see, you must talk to their family when you go back, you can’t Following the advice of that woman."

"That's the reason." The woman laughed.

No matter what, no matter how handsome and skillful this daughter-in-law is, she definitely cannot marry her.Just kidding, what's the use of a daughter-in-law who can't have children?

The two chatted a little more, and Shen's goal had been achieved, so she said that she wanted to arrive at Zhangdian before noon, and got up to leave.

The woman sent their mother and son to the door, because Zhangdian is on the south side of Yaojiabao, and if they want to go back to Liujiazhuang, they have to go north, so it must be inconsistent with what Shen said.

Therefore, Liu Jingmin drove the ox cart to the south, circled around Yaojiabao, and then returned to Liujiazhuang.

Along the way, Mrs. Shen was very angry. After arriving at Liujiazhuang, she didn't let Liu Jingmin drive the car home, and went directly in the direction of Mrs. Hua's house.

Douzi was picking up firewood at the door when he saw Shen's car rushing past.

"Mother, I saw uncle and grandma just now." Douzi said to Yang.

Mrs. Yang was washing clothes in the yard when she heard the words and asked, "Where did you see that?"

"At the door of our house, my uncle was driving a car with a baby, and the baby didn't look well, as if she was angry," Douzi said.

Yang continued to rub the clothes in the big basin, and said, "Let's leave it alone, left and right have nothing to do with us."

Douzi let out a "hmm", turned around and entered the main room.

Here Liu Jingmin, under the urging of Shen Shi, hurriedly drove the car and stopped at the gate of Mrs. Hua's house.

There are two sons in Mrs. Hua's family, and the family has already been separated.

It was noon time, and Mrs. Hua and the old man were preparing to have lunch.I only heard a few old cows mooing outside the door, and then a bullock cart stopped at the door of my house.

Mrs. Hua hurriedly poked her head out curiously, and seeing that it was Mrs. Shen, she was very happy. She might have come to discuss marriage with her, so she didn't even bother to eat, and went out with a smile.

"Oh, his aunt, why did you come to the door in person?" Hua Pozi's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on her face were also stretched.

Shen didn't answer, but stepped across the threshold angrily.

Only then did Granny Hua realize that something was wrong, and said in her heart: "It's broken, it could be..."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen's only hope of having a grandson is pinned on his youngest son, Liu Jinglin. Although he is only blind, Shen always loves him the most.

"You dead woman, you dare to talk nonsense in broad daylight. Why is your conscience eaten by dogs? You are not afraid of retribution!" Shen Shi swears at her head and face, regardless of the feelings of a village.

Although Shen is not a gossip person, sometimes she doesn't like to talk much, but if anyone bullies her, she will definitely pay back.If someone said something that was not good for Liu Jinglin, or did something that was not good for Liu Jinglin, even if she risked her life, she would have to ask for an explanation.

Besides, this matter was related to Liu Jinglin's marriage, his whole life, and the succession of the old Liu's family. How could she tolerate the trouble of Mrs. Hua?
"Hey, his aunt, let's talk it out if we have something to say, sit down and talk it out." Granny Hua tried to stop Shen Shi, and hurried her into the room.

If this becomes a big problem, it won't be good for her. Who will ask her to marry her in the future?No one is looking for her, so what money does she make?

"You have made it clear to me. You got a divorced and abandoned woman and told my family. What are you in the mood for? Ah? What are you in for?" Granny Hua retreated step by step.

At this moment, a lot of people who heard the sound and came to see the fun had gathered around the gate of Mrs. Hua's house.

The more Shen thought about it, the more angry she became, and she pointed to Mrs. Hua and said, "Let's not talk about being divorced, she is still unable to have children and lay eggs. What are you trying to do to make my old Liu's family die? Ah? White Fang, are you talking such nonsense? Why don't you die for a good person? God should strike you with a thunderbolt!"

Although she usually looks silent, if she really asks for justice, she is no match for one of the ten masters.Besides, now, Mrs. Hua has nothing to say.

Shen scolded Mrs. Hua until she couldn't get a word in, so she spat heavily and said, "Return my family's silver?"

Mrs. Hua has long been confused by her scolding, and when she hears that Mrs. Shen asked her to pay back the money, she hurriedly ran back to the main room trembling, and handed over the money that Mrs. Shen gave that day, as well as the work that she had entrusted to her at the beginning. The money was returned together.

Shen shi spat heavily at her dead gray old face, turned around and left.

If it's Yang Shi, after going through this incident, she doesn't need to return the money, but she must make a fuss, so that everyone knows about it, just to scare her off.

But Shen's is different, she can not make a fuss, but the money is not discussed and must be returned.
