The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 129 You, you guys, you guys are going too far

In the morning, Shen Zhensheng was at home drying the children's quilts and brushing their shoes. Xiao Baoer was in the yard teaching the children to write and chatting with Shen Zhensheng.

The postman came to the village at this time and was stopped at the entrance of the village by several women who liked to gossip about other people.

"Young comrade, you are in the village again. Are you here to deliver money to the wife of the third son of the Shen family?" Mrs. Sun stopped the postman's bicycle and inquired for information.

The postman had no choice but to answer her question, "Yes, sister-in-law, who else can be in this village except Comrade Xiao? He has to deliver once every ten days or so."

The postman's words made the women curl their lips. If they had to deliver the money once every ten days or so, that meant they had to deliver it three or four times a month. Ten dollars each time would cost forty or fifty dollars a month.

Shen Lao San really got a great deal by marrying a rich girl. She earns in a month what other people earn in a year. How much money must that woman have earned in these days? No wonder she was able to build a brick house.

"Young comrade, do you know how much she earns at a time? Is it about 20 yuan?" Mrs. Sun and the other women were not giving up and kept digging to find out how much Xiao Baoer earned in a month.

The postman said righteously, "This is someone's privacy. I can't tell you. Please move aside. I have to deliver it quickly for Comrade Xiao to sign for it."

Seeing that the postman was speaking rudely, the women had no choice but to make way for him to ride his bike away.

Looking at the postman's back as he rode away on his bike, a few women gathered together and gossiped about all sorts of things.

"I heard before that Shen Lao San's wife earns 40 to 50 yuan a month. Why do I feel it's more than that?"

"Who would know? Even Aunt Jinhua might not know."

"Hey~, let's go over and take a look and we'll know. We have nothing to do anyway, so let's go and take a look."

Wow, these people are so bored that they actually followed the postman to Xiao Baoer's house.

"Is Comrade Xiao at home?" The door of Xiao Baoer's house was closed, and the postman politely knocked on the door.

Shen's mother, Liu Ying, Aunt Zhang, eldest aunt, and Aunt Lianhua were all taking their children to a place not far from Xiao Baoer's house, watching the children and sewing shoe soles. When they saw someone calling at the door of the third brother's house, they all ran over.

When Shen's mother and the others came running over, Shen Zhensheng also came over to open the door, "Mom, why are you all running over here? What happened?"

It was only then that Shen's mother and the others realized that they had blocked the postman so tightly that the third child did not see the postman.

As soon as the group of people made way for him, the postman came over and said, "Hello, comrade. Is Comrade Xiao at home?"

"Yes, wife, the postman is here," Shen Zhensheng shouted into the house, and Xiao Baoer came out of the kitchen carrying steamed apples.

"Comrade Xiao, this is the withdrawal slip and the book you sent. Please sign for them."

Xiao Baoer handed the apple to Shen Zhensheng and signed for the item handed over by the postman. "Thank you, comrade."

"Serve the people, I'll be leaving first," the postman had to deliver something to another village, so he got on his bicycle and left quickly.

The group of women at the entrance of the village also ran over at this time. Shen's mother and aunt were both at the door, so Shen Zhensheng and his wife couldn't just close the door and go home.

Shen's mother originally ran over thinking that something happened at the third brother's house. Now that she knew that it was the postman who delivered something, she felt relieved and called on a few people to go back to their work. A few people were about to return to where they had been just now to chat.

Unexpectedly, the gossipy women who came over from the village entrance did not leave. They just stood at the door without moving, and even wanted to enter Xiao Baoer's house.

"I say, why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay at my daughter-in-law's house for dinner?" Shen's mother bluntly retorted.

"Aunt, we heard that brother Zhensheng's wife received another withdrawal slip. Isn't this a sign of concern for her?" Sister-in-law Sun wanted to use her clever words to make Shen's mother thank her for her concern.

Mother Shen rolled her eyes at her. "Oh, you care? Sun's eldest daughter-in-law, everyone in this village knows that you are the first to spread the news to the whole commune when there is something wrong in someone's family. Stop talking nonsense here. I won't fall for it."

"Aunt, what are you talking about? Aren't we kind-hearted?" Wang Mei, the eldest daughter-in-law from my second uncle's family, was still speaking for Sister-in-law Sun.

"Did my mother-in-law say something wrong? Then tell me what kindness you have in asking about my family's private affairs? What? Are you afraid that I earn too much money and have more than I can spend, so you want to spend it on me?" Xiao Baoer spoke softly.

"Sister-in-law, isn't I curious? Tell me how much money you earn this month?" Wang Mei wanted to pull Xiao Baoer's arm enthusiastically, but Xiao Baoer dodged her.

"Oh, I forgot that you are the eldest daughter-in-law of my second uncle's mother's family. Mom, why do I remember that the eldest daughter-in-law of my second uncle's mother's family gave birth to four or five daughters, and was scolded by my second uncle's mother every day and couldn't raise her head."

Shen's mother and Xiao Baoer sang the same tune, "That's not right. Alas, the scolding is so ugly. Her husband doesn't even dare to fart. What use is this kind of woman, except for gossiping about other people's right and wrong all day long?"

"Mom, please don't say that. My sister-in-law is just caring about me out of kindness. She wants me to compare myself to see if I am as useless as my second aunt scolded me."

Shen Zhensheng had been standing quietly beside Xiao Baoer like a guardian angel, watching his mother and wife cursing in unison. As long as these people didn't offend his wife, he wouldn't care. It just so happened that little Jiaobao was a little bored these days, so it would be nice to let her curse at others for some fun.

Wang Mei was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Her face turned red and her neck became thick. "You, you guys, you guys are going too far."

Shen's mother also became impatient and directly shouted at them, "What are you talking about? Get out of here right now. What should I do if you bump into my daughter-in-law? If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, I will never forgive you."

It was useless for a group of people to pry into other people's affairs. Shen's mother had already driven them away so bluntly. Seeing how Wang Mei was treated, if they didn't leave, Luo Jinhua and Xiao Baoer would probably not let them go.

Shen's mother and Aunt Lianhua chased the people away. Seeing them leave, Shen's mother felt relieved. "Third brother, take your wife back to the house to rest. If those people come again, mother and your aunt are here."

Shen Zhensheng nodded, "Wife, let's go back to the house. I just vomited for a while and finally wanted to eat a steamed apple. Don't let it affect your appetite."

Xiao Baoer greeted Shen's mother and aunt and went into the house. Shen Zhensheng stayed behind to close the door.

"Third brother, is your wife vomiting a lot? You have to take good care of her." Shen's mother was still worried about Xiao Baoer's health. She was already thin, and if she continued to vomit every day, her body would not be able to bear it.

"Don't worry, mom. My wife doesn't vomit very often and eats well every day. Today, I don't know what happened and she vomited for a while. She wanted to eat a steamed apple just now. I have already steamed it for her. I will take good care of her."

"That's good, that's good. Just buy her whatever she wants to eat and take good care of her." Shen's mother reminded him again and again, fearing that she would not take good care of the third child.

Shen Zhensheng was very happy that his mother cared about his wife. Of course he was happy that there were no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I know, mother, I'm going to take care of my wife."

Shen's mother and the others had all left, and Shen Zhensheng went back into the house to take care of his wife. Xiao Baoer was helping the child eat an apple with a spoon. Sanbao was eating the apple very properly with the small spoon, and he used the spoon quite well.
