Chapter 22 Enthusiasm and Gossip
It is really not easy to get into the city. Just like this, a bus has squeezed at least a hundred people, you can imagine what the situation is.
The mother and daughter stood near the window, pressing tightly together. Even if their feet were sore and numb, they would not dare to move, for fear that they would not fall down after lifting them up.
The bus, like a canned iron box, swayed all the way, slowly driving on Yinxin Highway.
If there were any other ways to enter the city, she said she would not suffer any pain. When she was about to arrive in Yincheng, Feng Yanhong's face turned pale as soon as she saw her. The sour water in her stomach was stirred back and forth, and she tried her best to suppress the idea of rushing out of the car.
"We'll get off at the next stop."
"Hmm? You're not going to an affiliated hospital?"
Only then did I go to the new city and go to the affiliated hospital to reverse the car, but I didn’t fall here.
Does my mother want to go to Zheng's house?
"Get out of the car."
After getting off the bus, Feng Yanhong was able to breathe fresh air in big mouthfuls, and after a while, it finally improved.
"Mom, where are we going?"
"Go, go see your Aunt Miao..."
Feng Yanhong looked at the dodge in her mother's eyes and her shoulders that collapsed due to lack of confidence, and felt a little sad.
My mother used to have 100% trust in Miao Guizhi, but after so many years of love, she naturally had to worry about her.
But my mother probably didn't know that Miao Guizhi had never treated her sincerely.
"You don't know, your Uncle Zheng has a bad temper, your marriage with National Day... Your Uncle Zheng may have to vent his anger on your Aunt Miao again."
"Hey, actually, thinking about Lao Zheng's temper, it would be good if you don't marry him."
Bai Xiu was a little depressed. In fact, when Guizhi mentioned this matter to her, she shouldn't have agreed so quickly. She should have a good look at the national day's temperament. Now that things are like this, it is not entirely the responsibility of others.
If she hadn't thought about letting her daughter enter the city, how could the two families have become like this?
Feng Yanhong followed her mother, took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed down her breath.
Since we have all arrived here, we will choose a day to stop hitting the day. Today we will find a way to expose Miao Guizhi's true face.
"Do you still remember which building it is?"
Bai Xiu entered the family yard and turned a little. There were buildings with exactly the same exterior walls everywhere. She had only been here once when they moved to a new home. It has been two or three years. She really doesn't remember which one it was.
Looking at these extremely familiar five-story buildings in the family yard, Feng Yanhong felt a little nervous. How could she not remember it?
"I don't remember either. Let's ask someone to ask. They are all from the same factory and they are familiar with each other."
In the pavilion of the family yard, there were middle-aged women sitting around, some knitting sweaters, some holding shoes, and picking vegetables. They could be heard laughter from afar.
"Hello, auntie, do you know where Miao Guizhi's home is?"
"Miao Guizhi? Technician Zheng, Zheng Xingbangjia?"
"Yes!" Feng Yanhong was modest and polite, with a smile on her face and looked gentle.
She knew best how powerful the aunt here was. If you dare to inquire about it, there was absolutely nothing they didn't know about the things in this yard.
"What are you doing as a little girl in their house? Are you not afraid of being sold?"
Bai Xiu, who was standing behind Feng Yanhong, her face turned pale in an instant.
"Auntie is really good at joking. Our family has known Aunt Miao for decades."
"Hey, don't believe you little girl. Did she say she wanted to introduce you to a partner?" The aunt in a white hat tilted her head and came to Feng Yanhong with a mysterious look.
Feng Yanhong pretended to be stunned, pulled the corner of her mouth and said nothing, looking embarrassed, and put her hair behind her ears.
Seeing this, a group of aunts immediately became enthusiastic and wanted to hold Feng Yanhong's hand and talk to her about Miao Guizhi's scandals.
"It seems really, don't say that aunts are talking nonsense. Aunts also feel sorry for you (it means good-looking). Why do you think Miao Guizhi is keen on helping people protect media?"
"Isn't it that I'm greedy for other people's bride price and benefits? This is not something we're talking nonsense. No one in this yard knows. Even the street police station is a regular visitor. I was smashed by someone because of this incident."
"Oh, I was beaten two days ago, and I guess something was not done. But I asked me to tell you that she was asking for help. She has not been here for so many years. Lao Zheng arranged work for her and she was not happy to do it. She was lazy and had to compete with others. She had a round of bad thoughts. Who would be beaten if she didn't get beaten?"
"Auntie told you, no matter whether you believe it or not, you should be more careful and know."
Feng Yanhong nodded timidly, and the aunts forced to show the way for them, mother and daughter.
"Over there, Unit 1 of Building 18 is the Zheng family."
"Then, I'll disturb my aunt." Feng Yanhong thanked embarrassedly. At this time, there was no need to think about it and knew that her mother's face was not good.
As soon as the mother and daughter turned around, the group immediately continued the gossip of the past, and they became more interested than they had just now, and their tone became a little cheerful.
"You don't know, this person is really stupid. He is the woman who asked Miao Guizhi to sell her to the farm."
He turned around and walked out a few steps of Baixiu, and his back was shocked and he couldn't help but slow down.
"I actually treat her as a good person. I have brought things for the New Year and the Festival a few years ago. In recent years, it seems that the conditions there are better. Miao Guizhi goes there at least once a month, and she will pick up everything back when she returns."
"I know this. I have encountered it several times, both chickens and ducks. It's worth a lot of money if it's placed in a small market."
"Ah? Didn't she say that it was the gift from their poor relatives who asked her to do business?"
"Old Zheng and she both came from other provinces, so there are so many poor relatives? Only young people like you would believe it."
As they spoke, the women surrounded them closer and their voices became smaller.
"She has shown off to our old neighbors before! The bride price and the money for buying clothes was 150 yuan in total, and she only gave the others thirty yuan to buy clothes. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"The woman is still a widow, with a little girl who has not been weaned. Do you think she is very capable? It's almost twenty years old. At that time, it was 120 yuan, but Technician Zheng'er's salary was half a year!"
"Oh, you don't know how proud the family was at that time."
Bai Xiu's steps stopped completely, took a deep breath, his face turned pale, his eyes turned red in an instant. He looked back at the group of people, bit his lips, and didn't know what was turning around in his heart.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Such a behavior of lowering the voice is nothing more than hiding the bell. Those words are not needed to be listened to without any effort, and you can hear them clearly.
The widow also brought the unweaned little girl. She married to the farm twenty years ago. So what's going on is her mother?
But why did she never know about this before?
Judging from my mother's appearance, I'm afraid she doesn't know about the bride price. Then her father must know that her father has hidden it for so many years?
"Hey? Their eldest son is talking about marriage recently, and he is also talking about a farm. It's not that family, right? What's his surname?"
"It seems to be called Yanhong?"
As soon as these words were said, not only Bai Xiu's expression turned pale, but Feng Yanhong's expression turned pale.
I subconsciously looked at my mother. Seeing that her mother's body was shaking, my heart instantly raised and reached out to support her.
"Oh~ I'm afraid I'm going to take care of someone else's dowry, this is even more cruel than a blood-sucking bat..."
