Chapter 36 Men Also Gossip

"Here we go again, the old lady from the Zhou family is doing it again. Isn't she tired? She keeps quarreling with Mr. Zhou and his family every three days." A neighbor's complaint came from the wall next to her.

"It must be Zhou Laoer who lost money gambling again outside. Every time he loses money, he makes his mother make trouble at the eldest brother's house. He won't persuade my mother until Zhou Lao Er has plugged up his hole."

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe he didn't have the money to go to the little widow in the back mountain and asked his elder brother for it."

"The second child is really dead this week, right? He's such a big guy, and he's still so careless. What will he do in the future?"

"What's so difficult about this? He relies on my mother to suppress his eldest brother now. When he leaves, he can rely on his wife and son."

A man in his thirties or forties lying on the wall started to sympathize with Zhou Laoer's wife as he talked. Originally, Liu Xiaoya was about the same age as their daughter-in-law, but she looked much older than them, and she could be compared to their mother. Well, life is really too difficult.

"Hey, Liu Xiaoya has been unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying him, Zhou Laoer, but who made her the stepmother to head the family? If a stepmother has a stepfather, this is also her fate."

"She is not blessed. The son her mother worked hard to give birth to was also won over by her stepmother. Judging from the way his father dotes on his only son, if his brother can support her, she will not have such a difficult life, at least You can teach Zhou Laoer a lesson so that he will stop worrying outside."

"In the same village, Liu Dabao could see his sister being bullied with his own eyes. He was so heartless. When he was young, his sister had stood up for him and his stepmother many times. He had forgotten them all. He only remembered that his stepmother gave him He married a daughter-in-law from his mother's family, and his ears are too soft." Some people expressed their contempt for Liu Dabao's inaction, saying that he did not have the blood of a man.

Several men also had a strong desire for gossip, and the subject of the topic changed again and again. They felt that they could clearly understand the general character of the people in the village as their boss grew up and their family grew up in the west.

"Yesterday, my wife was tying firewood in the forest. She seemed to see Liu Xiaoya cleaning her land alone. She seemed to have fainted in the field, but she got up after only a minute or two. It shouldn't be anything serious. She might be hungry. .”

"Don't you look at how skinny Liu Xiaoya has become. He works alone to support three people. He even clings to his son for a little food. He eats less and does more. He can be manipulated better than an old cow. I think It's hard for her to look so sick and frail until his eggs grow up."

"Tch, Zhou Laoer's son is just like his father, wandering around. Do you think it's useful for a bastard like him to grow up? Can he be filial to his own mother? Seeing his mother exhausted and beaten and scolded, shit. Don’t let any of them go, they are all grown up young men. They don’t work hard all the time, and they learn very well by cheating and cheating. It seems that it will be difficult to find a wife in the future.”

"Everyone in the surrounding areas doesn't know how bad he is. His family, Zhou Lao's, are all gangsters. Marrying them is like falling into a pit of fire. No one who loves their daughter will fall in love with such a second-rate guy."

A few men were lying on the wall talking happily to each other, and they didn't seem to care at all that the old lady inside heard them arranging her beloved little son's family.

"Both the Zhou family boss and his wife work at Mr. Luo's house in the county town, and they get a lot of wages every month. I heard from the old lady that Mr. Zhou works as the shopkeeper of Mr. Luo's restaurant, and gets three or four silver dollars every month. Mr. Zhou, he My daughter-in-law also works in the kitchen of Mr. Luo’s house, earning her an ocean and a half every month, and a little more when the master’s family has happy events. Occasionally, there are pastries, scraps of fabric, etc. that the master’s family rewards. If it weren’t for him, I am subsidizing Zhou Laoer, so he must be a wealthy family in our village."

"Look at how well-raised his girl is. She is white and plump. She is a girl and can go to school. I heard that she has already finished junior high school and will soon be promoted to junior high school. How can the family send their daughter to school if they don't have any money left. "

"Old Mrs. Zhou is just not satisfied with this. She has long said that her eldest grandson should go to school as well. She also wanted to send girl Zhou Qiao home, but Boss Zhou refused and sent her nephew Zhou Maodan too. I went to school, but the boy was disobedient and went home in a fuss after staying for half a month. Unfortunately, the tuition fees paid were not refunded."

Words of envy and jealousy came from men. In this small mountain village, farming can only satisfy their own food and clothing. There is no extra money for other things. If they want to send their children to school, they have to tighten their pants. belt.This is because their small mountain village has a geographical advantage. Otherwise, it would be as chaotic as the outside, and it would be difficult for them to eat even half full.

"Mr. Zhou was still smart. Seeing that he was going to die, he quickly divided the family. Although the division of the family was unfair, he not only gave his wife to his eldest son to support alone, but also gave his second son more money and land. , but look at Zhou Laoer. In just a few years, he has completely destroyed all the wealth left by his father. He has been relying on his wife and mother to support him all these years, and he is still restless." The man gloated, if If he can get so much from his family after the split, he will definitely manage it well and not be in such a miserable state.

"In my opinion, Mrs. Zhou is also stupid. She clearly knows what kind of bastard her younger son is, and she still helps her wholeheartedly. She doesn't care that doing so will hurt her eldest son's heart in the long run. When Mr. Zhou wakes up one day, he will completely ignore her or Just keep her full and let's see what she does in the future." The man was lying on the wall, stroking the wall with one hand and stroking his bare head with the other, shaking his head as he spoke.

At this time, there are also barber shops on the streets of the county. Unfortunately, they only serve rich people and they are very expensive.In the countryside, there are barbers who go around the streets, and they can give you a beautiful haircut for just a small amount of money. However, ordinary farmers are not willing to spend that little money, so they just get a pair of scissors at home. Click, click, just cut it short twice. It doesn’t matter if it looks good or not. What does a grown man have to be afraid of? Everyone has this dog-gnawed hairstyle, so you don’t have to laugh at yourself.

"Yeah, I think Mrs. Zhou is stupid too. But there's nothing we can do about it. Mr. Zhou's family has no sons, only one daughter. Wouldn't the second son of Zhou Lao become the root of his family? People who live in old age are not allowed to look at that Zhou Maodan."

Li Manping listened to what was going on with the Zhou brothers, and she had a preconception that she didn't like this old lady. She looked quite kind, but her words and actions were so shocking that such a kind face was ruined.

After the first two contacts, Li Manping thought that the villagers in the small mountain village were all good. Who knew that when she went out for a casual stroll today, she met such a top-notch family. I am afraid there are many similar families in this small mountain village.

Of course, she knows that there will be good people and bad people everywhere, and the best people are inevitable everywhere, so just have less contact with them.

"I have a lot to think about relying on Zhou Maodan to provide for them in their old age. I'm not optimistic about it. Not long ago, I heard from my boy that he saw Zhou Maodan hanging out with the boys from Bandit Village, and he didn't know they were doing it together. What happened? Will it affect our village?"

"What? Zhou Maodan is playing with people from Bandit Village. You must tell the village chief about this situation so that you can be prepared if something bad happens."

When a middle-aged man heard the news, he jumped off the wall and rushed to the village chief's house in a panic.His expression was also full of worry, and the other men who were watching the show also had ugly expressions.

It looks like something big is about to happen.

Li Manping frowned. Bandit Village sounds like it is not easy to mess with. It seems that the days in the small mountain village will definitely be lively in the future!
