Chapter 42 The culprit
After being humiliated by her neighbor, Zhou Cuihong was so angry that she walked around the village, wanting to chat with someone and talk about the gossip about He Jing and Zhou Qian'an.
However, as soon as He Jing was mentioned, the villagers became interested and started talking about Zhou Qian'an sending fish to the He family.
"Zhou Qian'an is amazing. He sent two large carps weighing six or seven kilograms to the He family yesterday."
"The He family stewed fish last night. The aroma was incredible."
"Didn't the He family also send a reply to Zhou Qian'an?"
"Chen Fanglan is so picky and yet she said it was delicious. I don't know how He Jing made it."
"Tsk, if you give it to me, I can do it."
Zhou Cuihong was listening to them talking about how to cook fish to make it delicious. She was stunned for a moment and quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "Zhou Qi'an and He Jing are definitely having an affair!"
"Not only that, I see that it won't be long before we can have a wedding banquet."
"Aren't there plans for a marriage between the Zhou and He families?"
"He Fangfang is gone, and He Jing is back, so they can be together."
"Zhou Qian'an is lucky that he didn't marry He Fangfang beforehand. Look at He Jing. She is really pretty."
"The water in the city is good, it nourishes people."
Zhou Cuihong: “…”
"By the way, if Zhou Qian'an and He Fangfang had already obtained their marriage certificate, what would Zhou Qian'an do if she returned to the city?"
"What can I do? Either I get a divorce, or I move to the city with you."
"I heard that the He family in the city is a state-owned business, very powerful, I'm afraid they don't look down on Zhou Qi'an."
"It must be a divorce."
Zhou Cuihong listened to them talking further and further away, and her face fell, "I really have nothing to say to you."
Zhou Cuihong said this and turned around and went back.
The others looked at her walking away, feeling puzzled, and continued to discuss how the situation would end if Zhou Qian and He Fangfang got married.
at the same time.
The He family.
The seasoning water is ready.
Zhou Qi'an smelled the fragrance, took a deep breath, and praised repeatedly, "If every household does this like you, there will be no need to worry about the smell of the food."
He Jing looked up when she heard this, "The cowpeas are grown at home, we just use some seasoning."
There's no need to be stingy.
If it really smells bad, it must be because the sealing process was not done well, or two spoons of soju were not put in at the end to disinfect it.
Zhou Qian listened to her innocent words, said nothing, and just shook his head.
"Star anise is not very useful." He Jing could of course see what he meant by shaking his head, but she couldn't understand it.
Zhou Qian carried the pickling jar back to the kitchen and said, "Seasonings also cost money, and you need tickets."
“Everyone is going to have trouble eating.”
"How can I possibly use these?"
Zhou Qi'an said as he walked, "It means Aunt Shi has higher requirements in this regard."
"If you don't believe me, go out and take a look around to see which house is the same as yours."
He Jing was silent for a moment and asked him, "Where is your home?"
"..." Zhou Qian choked.
Zhou Qian'an didn't really want to tell He Jing about the pig farm.
After all, it's not legal.
"It's just so-so." Zhou Qian touched the back of his head and changed the subject, "What else are you going to do later?"
He Jing shook her head, "No more."
"If you don't know anything, you can ask me." He Jing thought for a moment and added.
Zhou Qi'an raised his eyebrows, "Any time is fine?"
"When I'm free." He Jing corrected, and then added, "I usually have time at home."
Zhou Qian understood, "Okay."
"I'm going back."
Without a job, Zhou Qian'an couldn't find a reason to stay, so he could only ask to go back.
He Jing didn't try to keep him and walked him to the door.
The neighbor saw it, smiled, and greeted Zhou Qian'an.
He Jing closed the door and saw Liu Xiangqiao, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Cuihong next door, going out. She glared at her, feeling confused.
He Jing didn't take it to heart.
Sour beans need to be pickled for about seven days.
After two days of rest, Hekou Village is back to work as usual.
Zhou Cuihong had been finding fault with He Jing for several days, but she couldn't find anything. She became so upset that she lost her appetite and a big blister appeared at the corner of her mouth. Whenever people saw her outside, they laughed at her.
Zhou Cuihong became even more dissatisfied and blamed all the mistakes on He Jing.
The whistle for the end of the morning shift blew, and everyone packed up and prepared to go home for dinner and rest.
Zhou Cuihong had blisters on the corners of her mouth, which hurt whenever she moved. She was also thinking about how to deal with He Jing, so she was absent-minded and couldn't work properly the whole morning. There was still a lot of work left, and if she couldn't finish it, she would not be assigned new work in the afternoon and would get fewer work points.
She had to stay and finish the work before going back.
Liao Hongmei was assigned to work with her. Before she left, she was glared at, which made her laugh out of anger. She glared back without any hesitation and then went back.
Zhou Cuihong was so angry that she stomped her feet.
By the time she finished her work, the sun was already overhead. It was so bright that it made people feel warm all over. Almost no one came out in the village.
When Zhou Cuihong thought that the reason she wasn't at home for dinner was because of He Jing, she cursed in her heart, but she didn't expect to see He Jing with a group of children when she looked up.
Zhou Cuihong was so angry that she rushed over, but unexpectedly she saw her precious grandson lying on the ground.
“He Jing!” Zhou Cuihong suddenly opened her eyes wide, pushed the person away, and tears flowed down her face, “My grandson!”
"He Jing, if anything happens to my grandson, I will fight you to the death!"
He Jing laughed out of anger, Liu Xiangqiao glared at her in confusion, and Zhou Cuihong convicted her without saying a word.
"It has nothing to do with me."
"How can there be no connection?" Zhou Cuihong yelled.
Jin Bao was stunned and began to panic. He grabbed the corner of He Jing's clothes and said, "It has nothing to do with my aunt."
"It was Chen Dabao who got into a fight with someone and held onto Miaomiao's trouser legs and wouldn't let go, so we called Auntie over."
Only then did Zhou Cuihong see that her grandson's hand was indeed grabbing He Miaomiao's trouser leg.
"It must be your He family who teamed up to bully my eldest grandson. Otherwise, with so many people around, he would have targeted your family instead of yours?" Zhou Cuihong sneered, "I will never let you off with this matter!"
Zhou Cuihong stared at He Jing and suggested sending her to the detention center for a few days!
"That's great." He Jing crossed her arms and looked down at the two of them. "I also want to know what happened."
"Jinbao and Yinbao, you two go and call big brother and the others over."
"Jinbao, go find the kid who knows about this."
"We confronted each other face to face on the spot."
Zhou Cuihong insisted that it was the He family who did it, so she was naturally not afraid of having too many people, and the more people the better.
"The captain is from your family, I don't believe it."
"Ask the director of the Women's Federation to come over."
"Looking for them!" He Jing said without hesitation, "Miao Miao, go get them."
Miaomiao wanted to leave, but her trouser legs were still grasped and she looked at her with tearful eyes.
Zhou Cuihong was very disgusted and wanted her grandson to let go of her hands, but he refused to do so and was about to tear his trouser legs.
He Jing saw it and said, "If it's rotten, you can just pay for it with a pair of pants."
Zhou Cuihong pouted, "I don't know how many years I've worn these pants. They should have been broken a long time ago."
"Don't try to fool me." Although she said that, Zhou Cuihong didn't pull up her pants, but patted Chen Dabao's hand.
Chen Dabao had wanted to wake up, but he didn't expect his grandmother to come, so he pretended to be unconscious, hoping to scare them.
But I didn’t expect my grandma to make such a big fuss, so I didn’t dare wake up and could only hold on to my trouser legs tightly.
At this moment, Chen Dabao was beaten, and he felt wronged and started crying.
Zhou Cuihong felt even more distressed, and quickly hugged her grandson to comfort him, "Don't cry, grandma will take care of it for you."
"Whoever bullied you, I'll take your revenge!" While saying this, Zhou Cuihong stared at He Jing.
It seemed as if she was the culprit.
