Chapter 287: The Three Melon Eaters
Chapter 287: The Three Melon Eaters
Gu Qingqing spoke, looking at the various expressions on the faces of the people present, as if wondering, could things be like this?
Especially when her eyes accidentally passed over Wen Dacheng, admiration was revealed in his eyes. Gu Qingqing smiled at him subconsciously and looked somewhere else again.
"Even if there are fingers that are not equal, even if Qianjiazhuang has shared the same ancestor for hundreds of years, it is impossible for all the people in the village to be harmonious over the years. There will always be some conflicts among them privately. Especially the family in need is definitely not that one. Your sister's house is given to this family. Who knows if they will feel unfair when they are in the same need. Of course, this kind of disharmony will still come together when facing outsiders, especially outsiders who threaten their villagers. This is the part we are betting on. They may appear united on the surface, but they are still unwilling in their hearts." Gu Qingqing added.
There was an immediate hissing sound of inhaling from all around.
"So where are we going and what are we going to do tomorrow?" Wang Jie asked, seemingly understanding.
"Thunder God in the sky, uncle on earth, uncle is as big as the sky. You are the uncle who went to your sister's house, and found that your sister and children were not at home, but a strange old couple lived at home. As the uncle of her eldest brother's child, you must look for your sister and ask what happened. Then you said that you heard in the village that your brother-in-law was injured? Is it true? How could he be injured? It happened that you brought meat today, which can be used to nourish your brother-in-law. Then they will definitely say something, and you can see how you react after you know the situation. Make a fuss, and according to common sense, you will have the upper hand at that time, and everything will be easy to talk about later."
"And then?" Niu Yuzhu had no idea when he arrived, but now he was addicted to listening and asked curiously.
Gu Qingqing chuckled, and under everyone's expectant gaze, she said with a smile, "That's all."
"Ah, no, it sounds very interesting!" Niu Yuzhu smacked his lips behind the crowd.
"The situation has been opened, and we have to wait and see how things develop."
Wang Jie, who had been silent, said, "I understand."
Just when everyone thought he had nothing to say, Wang Jie suddenly clasped his fists to everyone present and said, "Thank you all for your help today. If you hadn't stopped me and Wang and I from going out to make a scene, the situation would have gotten worse and worse, and my sister would have been the victim. I will remember your kindness in my heart."
After Wang Jie finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shan and Gu Qingqing and said, "Village Chief, Wuyan's wife, thank you for your help today."
Wu Shan just smiled and nodded.
Gu Qingqing waved her hands. "Nothing, nothing."
"At the same time, I would like to trouble everyone to help cover up. My sister did not come to Niutoushan Village today, and no one in Niutoushan Village has seen them."
Everyone immediately agreed, "We are all from the same village, so we won't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, there are no evil-hearted people in Niutoushan Village."
The noisy incident came to an end just like that.
Before Wu Shan raised his foot, he first looked at the sky outside, and then concluded, "Okay, they are tired after all the trouble today, let them have a good rest later. Also, do you have the wine and candy you need to bring? If not, I still have more than half a jar of wine, just take it."
Wu Shan knew that it would be too late to go to the town to buy things at this time, so he told everyone that he had some wine at home.
"Hey, I have a brand new quilt cover at home. If you need it, come and get it." said an aunt in the group.
Before leaving, Gu Qingqing also said, "I still have some candies at home."
All the people gathered in the house dispersed, and the last ray of sunset in the sky finally shone on the door of his house, illuminating a sea of red.
Those who left were in groups of three or four, but the group that ate the melons formed groups of three.
Well, Luo Meihua did not choose to go back with Niu Yuzhu, and this time she chose the spectator group.
Geng Chunhua was the first to speak. Although she tried to lower her voice, she still spoke loudly, "Why did you ask that question just now?"
Gu Qingqing was afraid that the other party would be angry, so she couldn't help but coax her by saying, "I saw this today, and I felt the same way for some reason. I was curious because you were a girl from Niutoushan Village and you invited a man to come to your house."
Gu Qingqing paused for a moment and looked around, "So, your uncles and brothers didn't make a scene that day?"
Just now in the Wang family's courtyard, before Gu Qingqing was called into the house, she asked Geng Chunhua a question, "Has your land been occupied? Why did the man you recruit come to your house?"
Geng Chunhua smiled cheerfully, "My family's situation is different from theirs."
Gu Qingqing didn't say anything and waited quietly for her next words.
"Let me tell you an old story. I originally had a brother, but he had an accident when he was young. My mother also fell ill at that time and passed away a few years later. I was raised by my father. At that time, my family was poor and no woman wanted to marry my father. When I grew up, I thought that if I got married one day, my father would be the only one left in the courtyard, which was originally not lively. How lonely he would be. When my mother was still alive, my father loved the heat the most, so I told my father that I would never get married in this life, and I might as well discuss with my uncles to adopt a child. After I was buried, all my family's belongings would belong to him, and there would be someone to bury me."
Gu Qingqing was a little shocked, "You were still a kid at that time, right? Did your father beat you when he heard it?"
Geng Chunhua laughed when she heard it. "If you were right, my father would beat me up. But I am responsible. If this way doesn't work, I will try another one. I told my father that we should find a live-in son-in-law."
Luo Meihua also married to Niutoushan Village, but no one knew what she did when she was a girl. When she heard her say this, she added, "So, you and the father of the child are together?"
"Well, not so fast. My dad beat me up for that. He told me I didn't look like a girl at all."
Geng Chunhua said this but looked at Gu Qingqing and smiled mysteriously, "Guess what I said to my father?"
Gu Qingqing smiled helplessly, "Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us what you want to hear."
Luo Meihua obviously didn't know these things either, and was looking at her with curiosity.
Geng Chunhua is the kind of person who won't keep people in suspense. When she was looked at like this, she couldn't help but say, "I said, 'Dad, whose daughter do you think looks like a calf?' After I said that, my dad didn't beat me. I only realized later that I said the wrong thing. My dad thought I was saying that I was working so hard at home that I was almost as big as a cow. In fact, at that time, I wanted to say that I ate well and was big, so who would like me."
Gu Qingqing and Meihua looked at her at the same time. They had to admit that she was really big.
Geng Chunhua didn't care about their looks and continued, "I had made up my mind not to get married. Then I met the father of my child when I was almost an old maid. My father was still alive at that time, and it was with his help that our marriage was completed."
Gu Qingqing understood. To put it simply, the reason she was able to marry a son-in-law was because her father was still the pillar of the family.
Later she had a child, whose surname was Geng, not Li.
