Chapter 23

On the bank of the river at the entrance of Dou’s Village, a few women in the village took advantage of the sun to “warm the weather” with a basin of clothes on the stones by the river, and each of them beat the laundry with a wooden stick, busy with their hands , I still don’t forget to laugh and chat’

"Hey, I said, have you heard about that black girl from the Dou family, someone said they kissed." Aunt Dou said with a smile.

"Yo~ I haven't heard of it. There's this thing. It's rare to hear. Someone has taken a fancy to that wild girl. Don't be afraid of being beaten by her." The second sister-in-law of the Zhang family laughed.

The other women burst into laughter when they heard the words.

"That black girl is amazing. The last time his uncle took a few boys to ask for land, he was beaten up. Is this really a big anecdote in our village?" Mrs. Li said casually.

"Cut~ what a big anecdote' I think it's almost a big joke, don't you think so, hahaha~" Second Aunt Zhang spat in disdain.

Everyone laughed again...

"I don't think it's wrong to be strong, otherwise, is her family's land still waiting to be kept? The land is gone, and the five of their siblings will starve to death. Don't look at his uncle's good words, what is the food for? Yes, when the time comes, the food can be spit out~ It’s just to coax a few children~” Grandma Sun is a sensible person.

"Who says it's not? When Dou San and his wife were alive, the two of them didn't have much to deal with. Now that the adults have fallen into the loess, it's strange to be able to treat those children sincerely." The second sister-in-law Zhang is a pungent and straightforward person. If I am not used to it, I like to say a few words.

"If you want to say, it's really not easy for the big girl in Dou San's family. Her family belongs to her, and she has to raise a few younger brothers and sisters. Don't say how difficult it is~" Aunt Li still feels a little bit about the experience of Dou Hua's family. sympathetic.

"Yes, yes, but it's not difficult for anyone's family these days. They are all digging in the soil, so they point to the ground to collect some grain to fill their stomachs." The aunt of the Dou family sighed.

"Her family is not bad. After all, there are still a few acres of land. The land has been planted and the harvest has been harvested. No matter how hard it is, it will not starve to death. Dou Si's family is very good to these little ones, and they also help them." Grandma Sun continued.

"Hey, let me tell you, don't talk about anything else, just tell me which family that black girl is talking about. I'm just curious." Mrs. Zhang is still thinking about the marriage.

"I heard that it is a family in Jiangjiazhai, but I don't know the details. I also heard about it when I went to find Dou's fourth wife." Aunt Dou replied.

"Jiangjiazhai, the people there are all wealthy households. They hunt and dig medicine in the mountains, and they are all earning money. If you can fall in love with that black girl, don't be a bad old man with a dead wife, right?" Zhang Ersao has a bad mouth, and her words are not pleasant.

"Hey~ You can't say that, who knows, each flower is different, maybe you will fall in love with it, and the girl from the Dou family is not bad, with high breasts and big buttocks. She looks like a good-bred girl, and she looks taller than a man. They are all strong, and their work is not bad, so it would be nice to marry them and be a strong laborer." Aunt Li shook her head, not thinking so.

"Seeing that you are so optimistic about her, how about going to tell your eldest son about it, marry her, and give birth to a fat grandson for you in the next year, haha~" Everyone laughed again after Mrs. Zhang finished speaking.

Being laughed at, Aunt Li didn't care and said directly, "If it weren't for her family having several younger siblings to take care of, it would be no problem for my eldest son to marry. My family has less land and more people, but I can't afford to support so many people."

When everyone heard the words, they also echoed for a while, and their hearts were like a mirror. Jokes are jokes, and sympathy is sympathy. It's a good day, and I don't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Hey, let me tell you, we all have a good relationship, so let's just talk about it here, but don't let Mrs. Dou know, she is a fierce and tricky master, and we can't afford it." Aunt Li has a good temper Yes, people are more honest and don't like to make trouble.

"It's not that I can't be offended, it's that I don't hesitate to talk to her. I don't want to quarrel with her. I quarrel all day long. However, have you ever been to her house? The house is dirty and messy, and there is no place to lay your feet. Seeing the clothes those boys in her family are wearing, how old they are, and the clothes are dirty, the color of the cloth is not bad, she doesn't care about it as a mother, she may have to wait when she wants to marry a wife " Mrs. Zhang has long been displeased with Dou Dashan's mother-in-law, and she always looks disgusted when she talks about it.

"Yeah, a family lives in the same way, no one can control it, let's go, the laundry is done, and it's noon, let's all leave~ Go home and cook~" Grandma Sun said, and put the washed clothes Put the clothes into the wooden basin, pick up the basin and stand up,

"Let's go, let's go back~" The others also put away their clothes and stood up.

"Hey, I said, look quickly, that black girl from Dou San's family who is leading the donkey on the road?" Zhang Ersao exclaimed, pointing to the other side of the road for several people to see.

"Donkey? It's really a donkey, that person? Isn't that black girl, where did the donkey in her hand come from?" Aunt Dou was also very puzzled.

"Yes, there are more and more rare things about this black girl." Aunt Li echoed.

The women left in no hurry, you talked one sentence at a time, and watched Dou Hua leading the donkey from far to near.

Just now Dou Hua was leading the donkey. Although she was far away, she kept paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the village. She was afraid of meeting those women with bad mouths in the village. For a while, it saves trouble, who would have thought that just arrived at the entrance of the village, before he entered the village, he was spotted by a few women.

Not only watching there, these women are still guessing there, they don't leave, they just stand there and wait.

Dou Hua frowned, her scalp was a little tight, and her heart was frightened. In fact, she didn't like to deal with these three aunts and six wives the most. These people have a sharp mouth and like to listen to things.

Back then, when she was still Chen Siwei, when she went home during the New Year holidays, she was often checked by various relatives in the village, and they inquired carefully, regardless of whether you had privacy, from work salary, daily routine, to boyfriend and girlfriend. Marriage, there is nothing they can’t find out, not only inquiring, but also comparing you with others. In the end, Dou Hua will be very frustrated, and she has no good way, try to avoid these good people as perfunctory as possible That's all, sometimes I will say a few words, but it's not good to be too strong with these people, because my parents will not see it, and I will be the one who gets the scolding in the end.

Dou Hua never thought that she would not be able to avoid these things in her next life.She sighed secretly in her heart, Dou Hua had no choice but to bite the bullet, thinking of the memory of the original owner, Dou Hua was originally a taciturn person with a bad temper, most people would not easily provoke her, so this time , Dou Hua thought of taking advantage of this, so she took a deep breath, turned into a cold black face, and led the donkey to the village.

At the entrance of the village, Grandma Sun and several women were standing there with basins. They wanted to check the situation of the donkey, but when Dou Hua approached, they saw a cold black face, and felt that Dou Hua was exuding a wave of idleness. Do not approach the momentum.

The women felt a little apprehensive, looking at me, I looked at you, for a moment no one knew how to speak.

Dou Hua's face was cold, expressionless, and she kept the expressions of these women in her eyes, but she was happy in her heart. There is a saying that is true at any time, that is, "bullying the weak and fearing the hard", if you are tough, people will not dare to underestimate you , insult you.

"Grandma Sun~Aunt Li~Sister-in-law Zhang~Aunt Dou~ You are returning to the village after washing your clothes." Dou Hua still had a cold face, but she was polite, and greeted several women one by one. The elders should say hello. Although the original owner, Dou Hua, has a bad temper, she has all the courtesy she should have. Now Dou Hua is no exception, so asking for a hello is nothing.

"Ah, yes." Several women came back to their senses and responded one after another.

"Girl of the Dou family, where did you come from, and did you borrow this donkey from someone else?" Seeing that the other women dared not say anything, the grandma of the Sun family thought that she was old and senior, He opened his mouth and asked several people's questions.

"I didn't borrow it, I bought it." Dou Hua said with a tense face.

"I bought it. This donkey is worth a lot of money. Your family still has that extra money to buy a donkey?" The second sister-in-law of the Zhang family got excited when she heard it, and she was no longer afraid of Dou Hua's black face. Look, I thought, why is this donkey so thin, it can't be a sick donkey, even a sick donkey is worth some money, Dou San's family still have so much money?With all kinds of questions in mind, the second sister-in-law of the Zhang family felt as uncomfortable as scratching her heart with a hundred claws.

The others were the same as her, their faces were full of gossiping and curious expressions, and they wanted to find out the truth. Dou Hua looked at it and sighed in her heart, these people are too idle, it's so easy to inquire about other people's affairs. Know what to do, it's really annoying.

"This is a donkey that has been sick. I bought it for harvesting wheat. Otherwise, my children would not have the strength to collect the wheat." Dou Hua avoided the important and ignored the matter. She did not mention the matter of money on purpose. , What does having money in the family have to do with these people? They are all eating carrots and worrying about it. What is it that hinders you?

When she decided to buy a donkey, Dou Hua made up her mind and figured out a way to deal with it, that is, say nothing or say less, if the uncle asks, just answer it well, others, forget it Well, it's perfunctory. When she meets those who are looking for trouble and want to take advantage, she is not easy to provoke. She will beat them up if she is in a hurry. She still doesn't believe that she can't beat them. Break it off, her powerful reputation has also been resounding, anyone who wants to be so insensitive, come and try, she Dou Hua is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.

After speaking, Dou Hua's complexion became even more ugly, and she seemed very impatient. She did this on purpose, frowning and looking at several women, and said loudly, "Grandma Zhang, are you all right? I have to go home, and the younger ones are waiting for me to eat at home."

"Oh, okay, okay, it's okay, you go back, go back~" Grandma Zhang didn't dare to ask any more questions, and Dou Hua, who was as tall as her, stood in front of her and was more than a head taller than her. A face with too much momentum.

After Dou Hua walked away, the women breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other with embarrassment.

"This black girl is really powerful, just standing here with such a dark face, I am a little scared to see it, no wonder she can beat up a few young men." Aunt Li said, patting her chest.

"Yeah, I heard that this girl is very strong, bigger than my man, and it's like playing with two hundred catties of grain." The second sister-in-law of the Zhang family said with concern.

"Hey, tell all the boys not to mess with her, she will be beaten in vain, and it will be embarrassing~" Aunt Dou added.

"This is not a girl's house, it's probably a kid who got cast in the wrong baby~" Grandma Sun sighed.

After talking, they seemed to have forgotten what they saw the donkey just now, and went home with their wooden basins.
