After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

32 A widow is always in trouble

Arriving safely at the county town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After the farewell dinner, in order to avoid any further complications, Xiao Wei and Shi Mingsong declined the enthusiastic people's invitation to stay and went home together.

Considering that Shi Mingsong was too tired from riding a bike in the morning and had to take other people's eyes and ears into consideration, Xiao Wei decided to take a car. Qian Xiuwen took the initiative to send her to the station. Before leaving, Xiao Wei once again said, "It's really impossible for us to be together."

Qian Xiuwen laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Maybe the fake play can become real?"

"Then let it be. However, the hope is very slim, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"You are always so cold and aloof. You are really not suitable for a relationship."

"After going through so many vicissitudes of life, can the water we live in still be called water?"

"Okay. I'll listen to you and let nature take its course."

"Goodbye then. Well, it's better not to say goodbye."

Looking back, Xiao Wei saw Qian Xiuwen still standing in the car exhaust and couldn't help laughing: This guy, he can't take it seriously.

Hmm. Probably not.

Back in the dormitory, Aunt Miao gave Xiao Wei some news that made her feel awkward: "Your sister-in-law came this morning and said that the old Taoist priest in your village died. The weather is too hot, so the funeral will be held early tomorrow morning."

Having experienced death many times in his previous life, Xiao Wei was already immune to it. He decided to attend the funeral of his benefactor.

When Shi You saw the candy that Xiao Wei brought back, he was very happy. His previous gloom faded a lot. It seemed that Jiang Yingying took good care of him.

"Wang Youfu came by yesterday morning and it seems he hasn't given up yet."

It’s a bit strange that Aunt Miao, a professional gossip, didn’t say anything about this.

"Let him be."

Jiang Yingying reminded: "You might run into him when you go to the funeral tomorrow."

"So what? He dares not kidnap you."

"Be careful."

"He's not completely bad, and he doesn't have the guts to do anything wrong. So, what's going on between you and your godfather?"

"The wedding date has been set. It's the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month."

Considering that the village head’s wife has also set the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month as the wedding date, it seems like a good day.

After the meal, Shi Mingsong brought a few packets of tonic medicine, saying it was for treating physical weakness: "I asked the old doctor to prescribe it. You don't need to boil it. Just make tea and drink it every day."

Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Student Shi is thoughtful."

Shi Mingsong felt uneasy: "It's normal between classmates."

With Jiang Yingying and her daughter around, Shi Mingsong left without saying a few words. Jiang Yingying touched Xiaowei's short hair and whispered, "This guy is interested in you, how do you feel?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "Impossible?"

"Definitely. I can tell from the look in his eyes. I'm just afraid his parents won't agree."

"Arranged marriages are outdated."

Jiang Yingying sighed: "You don't know, these days, someone has been deliberately ruining your reputation."

"My reputation is bad to begin with, and it would be bad even if I don't lose."

"It's not your fault. It's so hard to be a woman."

“It’s even harder for men.”

"I think it was the guy named Hong who was causing trouble. If I catch him, I'll make him pay."

"There's no need to worry about it. I never care about what anyone says."

"Silly girl, you are going to get married. You can't marry into a good family if your reputation is bad."

"It's their loss if they don't like me."

"Right."

I picked out the unimportant things and casually said a few words about what happened on the road. There was a big noise outside, and many people were arguing. After listening to a few words, it was probably Aunt Miao who was spreading rumors and was confronted by someone.

This kind of thing has become commonplace. Xiao Wei has no interest in it at all and does not allow Jiang Yingying to join in the fun, so as to avoid getting involved.

But Aunt Mu's voice became louder and louder, and soon she started cursing and fighting.

Jiang Yingying said, "They came prepared, Aunt Miao will probably suffer. Do you want to call your godfather to handle it?"

Xiao Wei speculated: "It must be a colleague from the cooperative. If they have the guts to come to my house, they must have the confidence. Even if my godfather comes, he may not be able to handle it. It will be easier to deal with them when they make a big fuss."

"Xiao Wei. How come you are so smart?"

"It's not cleverness. It's human nature."

"He can see the essence of things at a glance, which makes him suitable for being a cadre."

Xiao Wei shook her head: "No. My personality is not suitable for being a cadre."

When Jiang Yingying asked why, Xiao Wei answered vaguely, "Beautiful women are not suitable to be cadres. I am so beautiful."

In fact, Xiao Wei wanted to say that he was not capable of empty talk, but he couldn't say this reason.

Xiao Wei's answer made Jiang Yingying laugh: "Girl, you are so likable."

As she was talking, it sounded like Aunt Mu was screaming, and then all kinds of noises mixed together, and it was hard to tell which side was which. This situation was perfectly normal, and it was impossible to tell clearly when things got to this point.

Then I heard the police from the police station coming.

The good thing about living in town is that it’s easy to call the police.

After a while of commotion, the people were taken away. Those who needed medical treatment were treated for their injuries, and those who needed interrogation were interrogated. Generally speaking, it depends on who has stronger social connections, and whoever has stronger connections is right.

What is the rule of law? It’s still just a slogan on a banner sixty years later. Can you please not have too high expectations?

The police station chief called the door: "Is Director Jiang here? It's boring in the room, come out and chat for a while."

After opening the door, the director looked at Xiao Wei deeply several times. Xiao Wei pretended to be shy and did not greet him.

The two of them first talked for a few words under the eaves of the corridor, asking about some conflicts between Aunt Miao and others. Jiang Yingying naturally couldn't answer clearly, and only briefly described Aunt Miao's situation.

The director laughed and said, "There are many gossips about widows. Widows themselves are also full of gossips. They just gossip about everything. They just have nothing better to do."

Jiang Yingying said formally: "Director Sun, you are slapping me in the face."

Director Sun realized that he had said something wrong and said with a silly smile, "Director Jiang, my dear sister, look at my mouth, I really deserve to be beaten."

Jiang Yingying was not angry. It was obvious that she had a close relationship with Director Sun. "Okay, just say what you want to say."

Director Sun shut up, muttered something quietly, and the two of them left the corridor and walked away.

Xiao Wei always adheres to the principle of "mind your own business" and closes the door to give Shi You a bath.

Jiang Yingying came back after coaxing Shiyou to sleep. She was in a good mood and told Xiaowei that Director Sun was her martyr husband's comrade-in-arms and a brother who had been through thick and thin with him.

Xiaowei is not strange at all. Small towns and even county towns are similar. All kinds of relationships are complicated and one move can affect the whole body. It can be regarded as an eternal feature of this land.

Seeing that Xiao Wei didn't care, Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "Do you know why Director Sun came to see me?"

"I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

"Girl, you are an adult now. This is about you."

"It's not my business?"

Jiang Yingying deliberately kept it a secret: "Good news. His nephew has taken a fancy to you."

"How is that possible? I don't even know him."

"No. You know,"

"Who?"

“Masayoshi Son.”

"Fuck."

Xiao Wei once again lamented how small the town was: "How did you get back, sister?"

"Don't worry. I didn't agree. I just said you are still young and won't consider marriage for the time being."

Xiao Wei nodded: "Yes. I won't consider it in the short term."

Jiang Yingying was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid they will come to your house to propose marriage."

"I cut off ties with my family, and it's not like Masayoshi Son didn't know that."

"It's hard to say. A unilateral severance of relations may not count."
