Chapter 192: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (4)
"Jianguo's wife, take the children out!"
Several neighbors were listening to the corner, but they were bumped into by the owner, making them somewhat uncomfortable.
One of the women, a woman in her fifties or sixties, laughed sarcastically and greeted Gu Qingcheng awkwardly.
Gu Qingcheng took a closer look and saw that Widow Liu was in the backyard.
Speaking of which, the original owner and Widow Liu are somewhat "relative"——
Widow Liu's son-in-law, Gu Changhe, is the same villager and distant relative of the original owner.
The original owner was able to marry into the city only because of Gu Changhe's matchmaking.
The original owner had been close to Gu Changhe's family during the three or four years he had been in the city.
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng followed the original owner's lead and responded with a crisp voice.
"Is your mother-in-law forcing you again?"
"Your father-in-law insists on adopting your nephew?"
When Widow Liu saw that Gu Qingcheng was willing to pay attention to her, the embarrassment of being caught eavesdropping disappeared instantly.
She approached Gu Qingcheng, lowered her voice, and asked a series of gossipy questions, "Are you going to take your child back to your hometown?"
This is so stupid!
Gu Xiaoni is Qiao Jianguo's daughter-in-law, and she still has Qiao Jianguo's posthumous son in her belly.
No matter what happens, Qiao Jianguo's job cannot be taken away by his adopted nephew.
Gu Xiaoni usually looks very shrewd, but at the critical moment, she starts to become confused.
But Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to talk to these three aunts and six wives. She hummed twice and said, "Aunt Liu, I'll take the kids out for a walk."
Without waiting for Widow Liu and the neighbors to say anything, she directly took her cheap girl Qiao Qiao and walked out of the yard.
"Hey! Jianguo's wife, don't leave!"
"What's wrong with Xiao Gu? Are you angry with your parents-in-law, or are you really being stupid?"
"...Hey, were I dazzled just now? Why did Qiao Qiao's mother become more beautiful!"
"If you want to be pretty, dress in filial piety! This daughter-in-law of the Qiao family has a white flower on her hair, so she looks a little less charming than before."
"Yes, she used to be so straight here and so upturned there, with hooks in her eyes, and Xiao Lu in the backyard was so hooked that she was dizzy."
An old lady, who was also in her fifties, was gesticulating in front, then deliberately straightening her back, and deliberately twisting it into an S shape.
It's just that she has a shriveled figure, is short, and has small feet.
There is really nothing sexy about beauty.
On the contrary, it's a bit ridiculous.
"Oh, Xiao Lu is still thinking about Xiao Gu."
"This has been going on for three or four years."
"No! I said that Xiao Lu's grandfather has passed away, and my sister has gone to elementary school. The burden on the family is no longer so heavy, and it's time to find a wife. But in the end, he is still putting off finding a wife. This is the reason for co-writing!
"
"Really? Xiao Lu looks quite honest, and he has such a colorful heart!"
"What a mess! Jianguo is gone, and his wife has become a widow. Xiao Lu is a bachelor, so the two are just right!"
"...Ouch, this is going to happen again. Isn't that exactly what the Qiao family wants?"
Several middle-aged and elderly women gathered together, pointing and talking.
Ma, who was hiding in the house, heard the chatter outside, and suddenly thought of something, and his dark and fat face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Did Gu Xiaoni, this little bitch, really hook up with Lu Xinhua in the backyard?"
"No wonder she's not afraid. Together, we've already found a new home."
"That's wrong! Did she hook up with Lu Xinhua after Jianguo's death, or did she have an affair a long time ago!"
If it's the latter, wouldn't his son be cuckolded?
The Ma family has only one son, Qiao Jianguo, in this life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his life is at stake.
The only son passed away at a young age, and it seemed as if a large piece of Ma's heart had been taken away.
Now, he suddenly realized that his son had been bullied, and Ma's anger was rising.
Bang!
Ma opened the door suddenly.
When several women who were chatting in the yard saw this, one said "Oh, I should go cook" and the other said "I still have clothes soaking in the basin", and they all started to disperse.
Mrs. Ma, however, didn't care about tangling with the neighbors. She walked quickly after Gu Qingcheng with her medium-sized feet.
Ma's feet were bound when she was a child, but she had them loosened halfway through.
Therefore, her feet are not three-inch golden lotus feet, but they are still two or three sizes smaller than normal feet.
When walking, Ma's speed is between that of small feet and normal feet.
Gu Qingcheng held her belly and pulled Qiao Qiao. As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she was stopped by a young man.
"Gu, Gu Xiaoni, were you scolded by your mother-in-law again?"
The young man is in his mid-twenties and is a head taller than the original owner.
The original owner's stature is already considered tall among today's women, about 165cm.
This person is taller than the original owner, at least 180cm.
His skin is a healthy wheat color, he has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His appearance is quite in line with the aesthetics of this era.
"Brother Lu, you just got off work!"
Gu Qingcheng did not pick up the young man, the original owner's former blind date, scandal backup and neighbor Lu Xinhua.
Whether he was scolded by his mother-in-law or whether he was wronged has nothing to do with Lu Xinhua.
She is not the original owner, so she will not pretend to be wronged in front of other men, and then get some "pity".
Gu Qingcheng greeted Lu Xinhua with a smile like an ordinary neighbor.
"Well! I, I have an early shift today. I just got off work."
"By the way, the canteen made braised pork today. I, I bought a portion and kept some specially for you and Qiao Qiao to eat."
Lu Xinhua didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Qingcheng. He blushed and handed the net bag in his hand to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng:......
What is this scenario?
Qiao Jianguo had just died, and the original owner had already started "cultivating" a spare tire.
Looking at Lu Xinhua like this, although he was a little embarrassed, he was used to "taking care of" Gu Xiaoni.
"No need! It's rare that the cafeteria makes braised pork. You'd better take it back to your parents and sister."
Gu Qingcheng didn't care when the original owner and Lu Xinhua "hooked up" together.
But, for now, one should still avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, even if the original owner was just teasing and didn't do anything substantially wrong, he would still be embarrassed.
Gu Qingcheng's character is not high, but he will not bear such a reputation, he is too low.
"You just got off the morning shift, so you should go back and rest early."
Gu Qingcheng greeted politely, and before Lu Xinhua could say anything else, she pulled Qiao Qiao out of the door.
"Hey! Gu Xiaoni, don't leave!"
Lu Xinhua also wanted to ask "Gu Xiaoni" what she thought.
When he delivered steamed buns to Gu Xiaoni yesterday, Gu Xiaoni even expressed her intention to remarry.
Lu Xinhua also said that he likes children and would not mind being a stepfather.
His paralytic grandfather is gone, his sister is in elementary school, and his parents can do whatever work they can.
His family's life is no longer as difficult as it was four years ago.
Like Qiao Jianguo, he is a first-class worker, and his monthly salary can definitely support two or three more people!
Although Gu Xiaoni didn't give an accurate answer at that time, her pretty face was flushed and her eyes were affectionate, which directly captured Lu Xinhua's soul.
Lu Xinhua thought that he and Gu Xiaoni had reached a "consensus".
But, what happened today?
Although Gu Xiaoni was still the same Gu Xiaoni, Lu Xinhua did not feel the charm and vague ambiguity in her.
Hiss, it’s not like there’s no change at all.
Lu Xinhua stood at the door holding a net bag, trying to remember: Gu Xiaoni seems to have become more beautiful.
It used to be very charming, but now it's so beautiful that people can't have any evil thoughts!
Yes, when a person is so beautiful, so beautiful that ordinary people cannot have any dirty thoughts in front of her.
You can look at it from a distance, but don’t blaspheme!
How did Gu Xiaoni become so beautiful and still so sacred and inviolable?
Then, does she still want to remarry?
Can the matter between me and her still work?
Lu Xinhua fell into doubt, confusion and worry.
He himself didn't realize that he looked like a silly boy trapped by love.
They all walked to the door of their house, but they didn't go in. Instead, they stood stupidly, looking in a certain direction, dazed.
When Ma ran out, she happened to see Lu Xinhua who looked like a "crazy man".
She stood hurriedly on the steps, stretched her neck, and followed Lu Xinhua's gaze -
At the entrance of the alley, a familiar figure happened to have just disappeared.
That’s Gu Xiaoni!
Okay, what a great Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.
Even before the soil on my son's grave was dry, this couple got hooked up.
They, they——
Madam Ma was filled with anger and a hint of fear.
If Gu Xiaoni really remarries Lu Xinhua, she will definitely not play tricks on her.
Does she really want to live under the hands of her nephew and wife for the rest of her life?
Ma was angry and frightened, and all the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head.
Snapped!
With a thundering aura, Ma stepped down the steps and slapped Lu Xinhua on the face.
"oops!"
Lu Xinhua was completely unprepared and was directly beaten by Ma.
Ma is angry and fearful, and performs beyond the ordinary.
Moreover, she is fat, so the force of throwing her is really not small.
Lu Xinhua was beaten so hard that he screamed and spun around in circles several times.
Then, with a pop, he hit the wall.
Lu Xinhua's vision turned black, a burst of stars flashed across his face, and he fainted.
"Oops, it's bad, someone died!"
"The Ma family in the front yard beat Lu Xinhua to death in the backyard!"
"Come on, come on, help!"
An interesting neighbor followed Ma and happened to see this scene.
After all, it is one thing to be a neighbor in the yard and watch the fun, but it is another thing to "do nothing to save someone".
They hurriedly ran closer, some checked on Lu Xinhua's condition, and some shouted for help.
Ma was immediately dumbfounded.
The entire courtyard instantly became lively.
"I, I didn't do anything!"
"I just slapped him. He's a big boy, but who knew he was so weak?"
"It's not my fault. Who asked him to hook up with my daughter-in-law?"
"I, I am beating up an adulterer. My Jianguo, your life is so miserable!"
