In the room next door, the lights were dim and there was water mist curling up.
Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying soaked their feet together, and the old couple talked quietly together.
"Ah Yuan has a sense of propriety since he was young, and he is also stable in his work. Our family are all upright people, and we won't do those scandalous things that would make the countryside dislike talking too much. Don't worry about it."
Liu Ying smiled bitterly and lowered her voice: "It's all that damn girl A Fang who always likes to talk nonsense! How dare you bring that plum to your house! Fortunately, Ling Ling didn't notice anything, otherwise she would be unhappy and ask A Yuan for it.
To put it bluntly, the young couple must quarrel!"
"No." Cheng Muhai whispered: "A Yuan went out with a smile on his face just now. I took a look from a distance and knew that everything was fine."
After hearing this, Liu Ying finally felt relieved, picked up the hot water bottle on the side, and poured some more hot water into each other's wooden buckets.
"Ling Ling has a gentle temperament, I like her just looking at her."
Cheng Muhai touched the hot water bottle on his arm and smiled warmly.
"That child is also considerate. He has been taught better and better by Mr. and Mrs. Xue. He was occasionally squeamish when he was a child, but he has become more sensible when he grows up. Look, this hot water bottle is so comfortable when placed on his shoulders!"
Liu Ying chuckled, her eyes full of pride.
"A-Yuan is a man after all. Even if he cares about us two, he can't be considerate. It's better to be a girl, who is better at paying attention to such small details."
Cheng Muhai snorted coldly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't Fang girl also a girl? When has she ever been considerate? She will only make us angry, tell her she won't listen, and run away when we lecture her! This girl has been spoiled by us.
!”
Compared with Lingling, Fang Yatou is just here to collect debts!
"She doesn't like to read books or do housework. Now let her go to the cooperative to sell some things. It's not a menial job. It's just a matter of lip service, but she can do it reluctantly. It's so outrageous! I said earlier
I heard from A Yuan that Lingling not only works in the newspaper office during the day, but also works overtime during lunch break and at night to do translation, and the money he makes is several times that of him!"
Liu Ying stared at him and rubbed her hands nervously.
"Our Lingling...is she really that powerful? How much money can she make? Our Ayuan earns more than 100 yuan a month!"
Cheng Muhai waved his hand and said proudly: "Yes! A Yuan said that Lingling came from a foreign language school and knew some country - after all, it was a foreign language! People sent books to her from the publishing house in the imperial capital, and she only had to read them at home.
Read, write, and send it back, and people will send her money, which is hundreds of dollars!"
Liu Ying laughed and even clapped.
"Oh my god! How can this child be so good! Why didn't she tell us? She's so humble!"
Cheng Muhai laughed in agreement and whispered: "Ling Ling is a well-educated person who works calmly and modestly. If A Yuan hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known about it at all."
Liu Ying couldn't help but think of her daughter's words and secretly spat.
"That Meizi shows off in front of Fang Yatou all day long, saying how much her brother earns. Fang Yatou also nags me from time to time, saying how much I will suffer if I marry Ling Ling, and how rich Meizi's family is! That's my brother's.
The money is not hers. Our Lingling family can make a lot of money in a month!"
Cheng Muhai raised his head and looked at him angrily.
"Girl Fang is a brainless girl, don't listen to her! Before marrying Ling Ling, I asked A Yuan carefully. He said that he had nothing to do with that Meizi, and he couldn't even speak a few words! We
My son is not that kind of person."
Liu Ying smiled sheepishly: "That's good... that's good. Old man, when I was eating earlier, I was worried! I was always afraid that something would go wrong!"
Cheng Muhai shook his head and said solemnly: "A Yuan and Ling Ling are fine! I see that Meizi doesn't seem to give up, and Fang girl is fooling around! Just now that Meizi was there, and Ling Ling was also there, so I had to hold back and say nothing. I'll wait for the couple to meet tomorrow.
I’m back in the county town, and I have to take good care of that damn girl!”
"She is only sixteen after the New Year." Liu Ying sighed and whispered: "Slowly persuade her, sooner or later she will listen to us."
Cheng Muhai glared at her fiercely and said harshly: "A loving mother often loses her son! Just pamper her all day long! With her temperament, sooner or later she will cause you great trouble!"
Liu Ying was an honest woman and timid. She was so frightened by her husband's cruel treatment that she trembled.
"I... will talk to her later. Don't get so angry."
Cheng Muhai was not a rude person, so he quickly suppressed his anger and calmed down.
"Children must be taught well and not indulged. Look at how well Mr. Xue has taught Lingling. She is an only child and she is not spoiled. Our Afang has not studied, so we should teach her well.
Only in the future can I find a good in-law."
Liu Ying quickly agreed that it should be.
In rural areas, the most important thing in a girl's life is to get married. Most people in the countryside are familiar with it, and if you ask around, you will know everything.
Girl Fang really needs to be educated well, otherwise she will have a bad reputation in the future and it will be difficult to marry into a good family.
The two of them wiped their feet, poured the water, and planned to get on the kang to sleep.
At this time, there was a knock on the door!
"Dad! Mom! Have you all rested? It's urgent! Come out quickly!"
Cheng Muhai and his wife looked at each other and recognized Xue Ling's voice, which seemed very anxious. They hurriedly put on their coats and ran out and opened the door.
——Xue Ling’s hair was slightly messy and she looked very nervous!
Cheng Muhai frowned and asked quickly: "Ling, what's wrong?"
Xue Ling bit her lower lip in embarrassment and pointed towards her room.
"Dad, Mom, just now a man ran to the window of our house, called my sister-in-law's name, and kept asking her to go out and have a tryst with him."
ah?!
Cheng Muhai and Liu Ying were both shocked!
Liu Ying's face suddenly turned pale again!
Cheng Muhai was relatively calm and shouted angrily: "Who is that beast?! Where is it?"
Xue Ling shook his head slightly and replied: "What he said was the cooperative supervisor, I couldn't hear clearly. He was still shouting from the window. I didn't know what to do, so I had to come over and ask you two."
Cheng Muhai galloped out of the house——
Liu Ying said "Ah!" and was about to follow in a panic. However, she was too panicked and almost fell to the ground!
Xue Ling quickly stepped forward to support her and comforted her: "Mom! Don't be nervous, let's go over and have a look."
The moonlight was bright and bright outside the courtyard.
Father Cheng opened the door in front, making a crisp sound.
Lin Cong, who was waiting at the other end of the room, stared in surprise and showed a triumphant smile. When he saw a figure rushing towards him in front of him, he hurried forward quickly.
"Fangfang! Little baby! You're finally out! I'm so excited that my little baby is jumping wildly——"
He stopped on his feet and looked at what was coming - it was a middle-aged, thin man with angry eyes!!
