Gu Xin would also take care of one or two people. She knew everyone in the village, but she had less contact with them.
The three of them also met their companions who went to the town. In the village, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were carrying large backpacks full of things.
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family gossiped, “Little Lian, I saw the people from the gambling house come again yesterday. Is Second Brother Gu alright?”
The big back pocket could not suppress her gossipy heart.
Gu Shouxin had gambled for many years and was kicked out of the house because of gambling. The people from the gambling house often came to collect debts and everyone in the village knew each other.
Cai Xiaolian smiled and said, “He’s fine! What could have happened?”
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family could not stop gossiping. “Did Uncle Ye secretly return the money to Second Brother Gu again?”
The Uncle Ye that she mentioned was Gu Shouxin’s father. When he was in trouble, he was saved by Grandma Gu and married into the Gu family, the hunter family of San Cha Kou Village.
Therefore, Gu Shouxin and his siblings all had the surname of their mother. This was not difficult to see in ancient times.
Cai Xiaolian glanced at the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. She could tell that this person was a gossipy woman, so she was not angry. She smiled and said, “Sister-in-law of the Wang family, I heard that the Zhang family of the Lotus Village came a few days ago and taught Tiezhu a lesson, right? How is Tiezhu? Is he better? Can he get out of bed?”
In the original owner’s memory, there was a scene where the grandson of the Wang family was the only child. He had grown up spoiled and pampered. With a face that was good to look at and a mouth that had been smeared with honey, he married the village belle of the Lotus Village and went home.
After the marriage, the village belle got pregnant not long after. Wang Tiezhu could not take it anymore and his nature was exposed. He went out to flirt with other women. The village belle found out and went back to her parent’s house in a fit of anger.
Then, the seven brothers of the village belle’s family came with eight nephews. They directly overthrew the Wang family and beat Wang Tiezhu until he could not get out of bed.
It happened last month. The commotion was quite big and everyone in the village knew about it. There were also quite a number of people who witnessed the good show.
When Granny Wang heard this, she glared at her daughter-in-law. She looked at Cai Xiaolian and said, “Tiezhu’s brother-in-law came to visit Tiezhu’s wife. Where did you hear such nonsense? Our Tiezhu’s wife’s family misses her. She’s a blessed one, unlike those daughters-in-law who have no family at all!”
Granny Wang was trying to say that Cai Xiaolian’s family was not good to her.
Cai Xiaolian raised her eyebrows. “That’s right! Tiezhu’s daughter-in-law has many brothers and nephews. I’m very envious of them. Unlike me, I only have one brother. My man gambles money and drinks badly, and my brother won’t help me criticize him. However, fortunately, he only gambles money and drinks badly. He doesn’t go out to mess around and doesn’t hit women. Otherwise, with my brother’s character, where can I find someone to help me?”
“Let’s talk about gambling money! My in-laws are good. They didn’t ask me to bear a single copper coin. This lousy wine is also the same. He earned a copper coin to buy wine, but he didn’t use mine. My family isn’t good. I don’t have the life to go back to my family and complain about my grievances and then use my family’s silver to subsidize my in-laws. Sigh, my in-laws are too amazing. They don’t lack silver. As a wife, I can’t even find a way to show filial piety!”
Cai Xiaolian’s knife stabbed into Granny Wang’s heart. Tiezhu’s wife had a lot of brothers, was well-off, and had a lot of dowries. Many people said that the Wang family relied on their granddaughter-in-law!
Gu Nian looked at her mother enviously. It was so good to have the memories of the original owner!
Gu Xin looked at her mother in admiration. Aunt Wang loved to meddle in other people’s business. She often gossiped in the village and even scolded her mother and daughter together with her aunt. Usually, she would only be angry when she heard this, but she did not know how to refute it.
