Actually, everyone knew that what Aunt Hu said was unreasonable, but it was funny.

Besides, Aunt Hu was popular. Besides, it was nothing for Lin Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing to wear gloves. Why did you, Tian Qiuhong, come to be so jealous? So after hearing Aunt Hu's words against Tian Qiuhong, they all laughed without caring about Tian Qiuhong's face, and Tian Qiuhong almost lost her face.

Tian Qiuhong's face turned blue and red. When she thought about her daughter who had such good conditions, she took the initiative to mention it to others, but was fooled. It was just a new grudge and an old hatred!

But she was not as good at talking as Aunt Hu. In addition, in the current situation, if she really quarreled with Aunt Hu, Aunt Hu was shameless and could do it, but she still had to have face, and her daughter still had to have face. She had to consider Yu Ping'er when she killed the mouse.

So she was so angry that she could only mutter, "Sister Hu, this person has only been here for one day, who knows what kind of person he is, why are you so protective of him?" Aunt Hu glanced at her, snorted, and said, "Some people can be known whether they are compatible at a glance, and some people, even if they have been together for a lifetime, they will never be compatible." Bah, it's a good thing that Shushu came, otherwise it would be annoying for Jin Xizhen to meet the daughter of such a family! Why did she give in at the beginning? Tian Qiuhong: ... This is really, Tian Qiuhong almost fainted from anger. ***** Lin Shu started her new life as an educated youth. Because of the care of the Liang family, it was not the busiest time for farm work. Although she still had to work from morning to night every day, it was very hard compared to before, but it was not bad, at least it was much better than Lin Shu expected. However, she was still very uneasy as "Deputy Battalion Commander Liang's girlfriend", so after a few days, she nervously asked Aunt Hu for Liang Jinxi's army phone number. Under Aunt Hu's smiling eyes, she went to the commune, brought two boxes of snacks to the people in the office, said a few good words, and got the convenience to call Liang Jinxi's army, thinking that she could at least explain to the other party.

In fact, the commune allowed her to call mainly because of Liang Jinxi's face. It is impossible for anyone to call just by bringing a box of snacks.

Unfortunately, she called, but the other party said that Deputy Battalion Commander Liang was on a mission and didn't know when he would return to the camp.

Lin Shu had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Fortunately, the Liang family was really good to her.

After a period of getting along and understanding each other, she trusted their character more and more. She also learned from the side that although the deputy battalion commander Liang seemed to have a bad temper, he was also an upright and responsible person. So she felt guilty for causing trouble to others and affecting their innocence, but she was not worried that she would bury herself in a pit.

She thought that when Liang Jinxi came back from the mission or came back for the New Year, she would discuss with him to play a play, saying that he had no interest in her, and when he found a partner, the matter would be settled.

She was not afraid that she would be laughed at and gossiped about in the future. Compared with the possibility of marrying Zhou Chengzhi and being hacked to death by him, a few words of gossip were nothing.

However, Lin Shu put it aside for the time being, but some people could not let it go.

*****

Tian Qiuhong was suffocated by the criticism that day, and when she went home, she saw her daughter lost her soul and sad, and she could not calm down.

She thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

Liang Jinxi had no partner before, so how could such a delicate partner suddenly appear?

And I heard that when she first arrived at the commune, Shitan Brigade had snatched someone away, saying that they wanted to invite her to be a teacher at Shitan Brigade Primary School. Oh my god, can you become a teacher just because you want to?

There are so many people with connections in each brigade who want to be a teacher, how can a newly arrived educated youth get the chance?

The more Tian Qiuhong thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

She ran to Liang Donghe next door again, knowing that she couldn't get anything out of Liang Donghe... This tactless and ungrateful thing, couldn't give birth to a son, was being tortured in the Gao family, and how much Xiaolian had helped her in her family over the years, but when she talked about this, she even made excuses for Liang Jinxi and the Liang family everywhere. It was irritating to hear her talk, and no wonder her in-laws didn't like her... So she didn't want to find out about the matter, and she didn't want to find her.

This time she went to find her not to talk to her.

But she wanted her to call her mother, Liang Jinxi's second aunt Liu Guimei, to talk.

Liang Donghe sighed inwardly, but Gao Xiaolian had always been very kind to her and her daughter, so she couldn't even refuse this. She could only tell her mother after she came over.Just answer whatever you ask, don't exaggerate or add any feelings or anything like that.

Aunt Liang, what does Aunt Liang know?

I know that the little girl is too pretty, and she looks kind and quiet, but she is too pretty, and it feels like she is not someone who will make people worry. But her sister-in-law likes her very much, and treats her like a baby. No one can say a bad thing about her, or she will be scolded to death by her sister-in-law.

At this moment, Tian Qiuhong asked Aunt Liang what Lin Shu was like.

Aunt Liang couldn't say anything, she just said: "My sister-in-law said that Lin Zhiqing's family was also in the army, and she met Jinxi in the army. My sister-in-law doesn't know anything else, but she really likes that girl..."

As she said that, she saw Tian Qiuhong's ugly face and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, if you ask me, what's the good of marrying an educated youth? She can't work, she will fall down at the slightest breeze, and she doesn't know her background. How can it be better to watch her grow up?"

"Mom,"

Aunt Liang wanted to continue but was interrupted by Liang Donghe.

Liang Donghe poured Tian Qiuhong a glass of water and said, "Aunt, it's all because the army is far away and we are not well-informed, so Xiaolian has been wronged. My cousin hasn't been home for two years. In fact, marrying a soldier is glorious, but there is really no good. If you don't follow the army after marriage, you won't see your husband for several years, and you can only rely on yourself for everything at home. You don't know what will happen when you retire in the future. Xiaolian has good conditions, so she might as well find a cadre in the commune or county to live with." Tian Qiuhong snorted. Liang Donghe's words touched Tian Qiuhong's heart, and she thought so too. But she couldn't swallow this breath. There was nothing else to ask here, and Liang Donghe was a watertight person. Tian Qiuhong was too lazy to stay and left without saying anything. After Tian Qiuhong left, Aunt Liang curled her lips. She still had a lot to say. She said, "You are such a sincere child. What can't you say? If you don't say something to calm Tian Qiuhong's anger, she will vent her anger on you. Won't your life be even more miserable?"

Aunt Liang felt upset and unhappy when she said this. She said, "And what I just said was also from my heart. What's good about marrying an educated youth? She only has a pretty face. Her waist is so thin that I worry it will break when she walks. She is said to be from the city. She can't carry anything on her shoulders or hands, and can't do farm work. But she has been sent to the countryside. If she doesn't do farm work, she will be left alone. How can she be as good as Gao Xiaolian? She is a teacher in the commune. She earns a few dozen yuan a month. She is stable and respectable..."

"Mom!"

Liang Donghe had a headache. She said, "Mom, please don't say that. She is Jinxi's wife, and my aunt likes her very much. Why do you say that? Isn't it causing trouble? Besides, Jinxi has always been opinionated and powerful. Since he is the one he is dating, he must have his reasons..."

"What reasons does he have?"

Aunt Liang said with a "tsk", "Isn't it because Lin Zhiqing is pretty? That's true. She looks like a snow fox spirit on the snowy mountain. Those eyes, who can't help but be soft..."

Liang Donghe: "...Mom!"

She was so angry. If an outsider heard these words, she would refute them. How could her family say them first?

"Okay,"

Aunt Liang snorted, "I know, I know what you want to say, who am I doing this for? Mom is thinking that if Jinxi and Gao Xiaolian get together, your life will be better, right? Damn Gao family, mom just feels sorry for you!"

Liang Donghe's eyes were red, and she was angry and uncomfortable. She bit her lip and said, "Mom, my life is my life. My uncle and aunt have treated me like their own daughter since I was a child. I will not be left out of Jinli and Jinxi's life. I can't plot Jinxi's marriage just because I am not doing well. Am I still a human being? Mom, don't do that!"

She was willing to help with the match because she really thought Gao Xiaolian was good, and she knew that her aunt was anxious about Jinxi's marriage, so she mentioned it. Anyway, it was just a glimpse. Jinxi was so determined that it would not work out if she didn't like him. But it was impossible for her to mess up her cousin's marriage for her own sake.

*****

Let's talk about Tian Qiuhong.

Tian Qiuhong came out of Liang Donghe's house. She felt unhappy because she didn't ask anything. But when she returned home, she actually figured out something after thinking about Liu Guimei's words.

Know everything, know everything... Isn't it that no one knows Lin Zhiqing's background?

She was unwilling to give up, so she went to Shitan Brigade again and talked with Zhou Darong's wife, and she really got some shocking gossip!

What Liang Jinxi's girlfriend!

It turned out that the girl was young, but she had great means. It turned out that she had already hooked up with Zhou Darong's distant nephew from Xizhou City in the city!

But I don't know what happened and they fell out again. When she came here, she said that she was a girlfriend with Liang Jinxi!

Could it be that this girl was having affairs with men and women and was cheating on two people at the same time?

Tian Qiuhong told Liang Donghe about this when she got the news.

Liang Donghe was shocked at first, but she was not without ideas. She just believed what others said.

She thought of her cousin who had a strong will since he was young. He was the only one who cheated others, and no one would cheat him. She felt a little relieved and said, "Aunt, Xizhou City is so far away, and we don't know what's going on. We can't just listen to what others say and throw dirty water on Lin Zhiqing. Anyway, my cousin will be back during the Spring Festival, and this matter will be clear when he comes back." She was a little unhappy when she said this. How could Tian Qiuhong just be so unhappy because Gao Xiaolian and her cousin's marriage failed?It was as if she was expecting her cousin to be in trouble.

Liang Donghe sent Tian Qiuhong away.

However, Tian Qiuhong had finally found out about this matter, so how could she just let it go?

Within two days, the news that Lin Shu had been having affairs with both men and women and had a girlfriend in Xizhou City spread throughout the village.

In the winter, farm work was easy, and everyone worked together, which was the best time to gossip.

The information Tian Qiuhong knew was not complete, and everyone would interpret it in a way that was easy for them to understand. So the information that finally reached Aunt Hu was this, "Sister-in-law, when will your family's Jinxi come back? I've seen his relationship with Lin Zhiqing, so you must ask him about it when he comes back."

The speaker was an older sister-in-law named Zhou, who did not avoid suspicion. She said this when everyone was cutting winter radishes to make pickled radishes.

Aunt Hu thought her tone was strange, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Sister Zhou said, "I heard these days that Lin Zhiqing had a girlfriend in the city. She went to the countryside to be with your Jinxi for a purpose. Either she was dumped by her boyfriend in the city, or she was afraid of going to the countryside and wanted to find a backer here, so she dumped her original boyfriend and found your Jinxi. Who in our countryside can be better than Jinxi?"

"Hey, I heard that the secretary of the Shitan Brigade The educated youth wife in the family has already been decided. They said they would give her the position of teacher in their brigade primary school. These female educated youths are so arrogant that they don't like us country people. If they marry, they all want to marry for something. Sister-in-law, don't be fooled by Lin Zhiqing. If you ask me, it's better to find a local wife who knows her roots and background well!"

With a "pop", the radish in Aunt Hu's hand fell into the basin in front of Sister Zhou, and the coarse salt and salt water in the basin flew up and splashed all over Sister Zhou's body and face.

Sister Zhou screamed "Ah", looked at Aunt Hu blankly, and then said angrily: "Hu Yingzhi, what are you doing?"
