Chapter 8 Gossip (2)

"How is it so easy to recruit a son-in-law? That's what rich people do. With a family like ours, how can we compare it with others? Who can we recruit?"

You Jingui only felt that his old lady was whimsical.

"The son-in-law who is willing to come to the door is either a rascal or an incompetent king." You Jingui snorted coldly.

"Didn't you say that the third child in your family is going to be a door-to-door son-in-law?" Thinking of the rumors about the third child in the Bai family, Qian's thoughts came alive.

Bai Laosan is not a rascal, nor is he like an incompetent king.He is handsome and capable.You Jingui still has two younger sisters who haven't left the house yet, so they might as well kiss each other more, and it's not bad to trick Bai Laosan into the sixth girl as a backdoor.

"There is a saying that he works as an apprentice at a lacquerware shop in the town. Shopkeeper Xu, the owner of the shop, is just a girl, and wants to recruit him. Some time ago, shopkeeper Xu came to the house to propose a marriage, don't mention it, and was scolded by Er Zhuang and his grandma. The fish, meat, cloth and fruits brought by others were thrown out together."

You Jingui grabbed another handful of melon seeds, and said while nibbling: "Er Zhuang's mother said, if the third child dares to cheat others, she will not have this grandson."

Qian was surprised and said: "Since ancient times, parents have been the ones to make decisions about marriage, Er Zhuang and his wife don't care what your parents-in-law think?"

"Mother, have you forgotten? Who has the final say in the old Bai family? Er Zhuang is his mother! If she hadn't nodded at the beginning, I could have married in? Even my in-laws are the masters, and I can't let the third child go to the door for others, you Don't look at my father-in-law as a good-natured boy, but the third child is really being tricked by someone and needs to be beaten to death."

This is true, Mrs. Qian has experienced the fighting power of the old lady Bai, and also the power of the anger of the honest and honest Bai Muban.

"But there is a reason why the Bai family is poor. They have a bunch of stubborn donkeys and don't know how to adapt. So many sons, why don't you give up one of them as a pawn in the door? The third Bai is also difficult to turn around. If you want me to say, just abandon the whole family and follow." Shopkeeper Xu eats delicious food and drinks spicy food." You Jingui's face was full of disdain.

You Jingui thinks that Lao Bai's family is a bunch of fools, and they get poorer and poorer by mixing together, and they pretend to be big-tailed wolves by pulling one by one.The poor don't bow their heads when they drink Northwest Wind, so don't let her come to her mother's house to borrow brown sugar eggs if she has the ability.

"However, it depends on people's efforts. Shopkeeper Xu is too benevolent. If he insists..."

"Mother, I'm a shameless family, so I have to consider my reputation when doing business. How can it be like our family wants a shop or not, wants money but doesn't have money, and the earthen house has three rooms and two acres of land. You can go all out and rely on the Bai family. Don't fight Bai Laosan's idea, he is not like your son-in-law who just cheats. We have plotted against one of his talented sons, and then plotted against another, and when the old Bai's family tries to divorce me, we will have to fight with our family." You Jingui interrupted Qian. Although she now regrets marrying into the Bai family, she doesn't want to be divorced.

Qian Shi was said to be the center of the matter, but it didn't look like he was angry and ashamed just now.

"Okay, let me just talk about it. It's not that I don't understand the truth that twisted melons are not sweet." Qian said.

You Jingui curled his lips at his mother: "You sound nice, how many of our sisters, which melon is not twisted by you?"

Qian Shi: "..."

There is no way to talk about this, why is it that my daughter was given gunpowder today, irritating my mother one sentence after another.

"It's been rumored in the village that your old Bai's family has a daughter, and life will be easier. Now that your mother-in-law has given birth to a daughter, maybe you really obeyed the Taoist's words. Go back and serve your mother-in-law quickly, and don't let the elders take the lead..."

Seeing You Jingui now, Qian's heart is blocked, she stood up and waved her hand, wanting to drive her daughter away quickly.

"Mother, do you really believe the nonsense of the Taoist at Pojiao? Just relying on a girl's film..."

"Fourth sister! Fourth sister! Amazing!"

Before You Jingui finished speaking, You Qingya, the sixth daughter of the You family, ran in in surprise.

You Jingui was taken aback by Sixth Sister.

"What's the matter?"

"Fourth Sister, Uncle Sanlang and Uncle Fifth caught a lot of big fish..."

You Qingya was out of breath, and described the feat of the old Bai's man catching fish with gestures and gestures.

Eugene Guijing forgot to nibble all the melon seeds.

"Qing Ya, what you said is true? The thick ice in the river can really catch fish?"

You Jingui's face was full of disbelief, and his voice was raised several degrees.

"It's true!" You Qingya nodded desperately, "I just came out of your house, and it's true, two or three big wooden barrels are full of big fish."

After finishing speaking, he added dissatisfiedly: "I also want to eat fish. I asked Saburo to bring me one, but he refused, saying that all the fish are for my aunt. I am so angry, I am not as good as an aunt. A newborn little girl? Fourth sister, you have to scold Saburo for me, turn your elbows out, I hug him when he was young..."

You Qingya was so indignant that her face turned red with anger.

After listening to You Qingya's words, Qian Shi was also shocked, the little girl from Lao Bai's family is really so useful?

You Jingui stood up abruptly and looked around for shoes.

"Slow down, take care of yourself." Qian Shi kicked the shoe to You Jingui.

You Jingui rubbed his belly, put on his shoes, his face full of disbelief.

Then he looked at Qian Shi and asked in a trembling voice, "Mother, is it possible that what Taoist Pojiao said is true?"

Before Mrs. Qian could speak, You Qingya told the whole point of what the villagers were talking about.

"... Now, everyone in the village is saying that your sister-in-law recruited those big fish, and they also say that the old Bai family's luck lies behind..."

Qian's spirit suddenly came to life.

"It's winter, not to mention catching big fish, but no one has caught even the fry. As soon as your sister-in-law came, there were big fish in the river. It's not clear that your sister-in-law brought them. What greater blessing can there be? Maybe you can make your son-in-law a success, and you will be an official lady in the future, why don't you hurry up and wait on your mother-in-law's confinement..."

You Jingui left without waiting for his mother to finish speaking.

"Well, you have to think about your mother's family, and you will pick up some big fish and bring them home." Qian Shi ordered from behind, and then shouted, "I forgot to bring eggs and brown sugar!"

You Jingui didn't listen to what her mother was yelling at all, and rushed home in a hurry.

Qian put away the brown sugar, handed the eggs to You Qingya and said, "Go to your fourth sister's house and exchange for some big fish."

……

Lao Bai's house.

The spectators hadn't dispersed yet, they were crowded on the inner and outer floors, and the snow outside the courtyard was trampled.

After You Jingui arrived home, he struggled to squeeze into the yard.

Under the big locust tree in the yard, there are three large wooden buckets and a large wooden basin, and there are fish swimming with their tails crowded close together.

That fish is so fat!The cool sunlight shone on the fish scales, and the whole yard was brighter than usual.

Unwilling to be lonely, a few big fish jumped up to perform in the air, and fell down with a "slap" sound with poor technique, smashing the snow out of the shallow pit.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Eujingui was still shocked when he saw so many big fish.

Could it be that the old Bai's family has really turned around?

"Sanlang, is this fish really caught in the river?"

You Jingui rushed to his son and asked happily.

"Mother, Uncle took us to fish." Saburo replied honestly.

Da Lang at the side glanced at San Lang and quite disagreed with his statement.

"Second Aunt, I didn't fish it, I broke the hole in the ice, and the fish came up by themselves."

Da Lang's childish voice, waving his hands and gesticulating, once again depicted the picture of fish coming out of the ice hole one by one.

You Jingui's heart trembled when he heard it, it was as bizarre as the fairy tales told to the older generation.

The surrounding villagers, even though they had heard Bai Dalang say it many times, still listened with gusto and sighed like the first time.

After listening, mixed emotions of envy and jealousy welled up in my heart.

How come Lao Bai's family has such good luck.

"It's terrible, Lao Bai's family has hit a big luck." The envious words of Che Jilu sounded again.

"Hmph, I think it's just playing tricks, and I didn't want to tell us how to catch the fish, so I said that the fish jumped up by itself." Someone muttered sourly.

"What do you know? If there is a way to catch fish, how can Lao Bai's family be so poor all these years? Someone went to the river to fish just now, and I didn't even see a piece of fish scales. Er Gouzi from the village even fell into the ice." In the hole." Someone was bitter, and someone defended Lao Bai's family.

"Why don't other people have the luck of Lao Bai's family? It's not that the little daughter of Lao Bai's family is a lucky star, and she brings good luck to Lao Bai's family as soon as she is born. Look at the cold water in Lao Bai's house when there was no daughter. Tooth, it’s different now that you have a daughter.” The village head’s wife patted her thigh and concluded.

The crowd nodded.

Although everyone believed this statement when they saw the big fish, the summary of the village head's wife further strengthened everyone's cognition. After all, the village head's wife is an authoritative representative in the village.

"That's right, it's a big fish today, and I don't know what it will be tomorrow. Gold is possible, Grandma Bai, please be careful when walking, and don't trip over gold." Some people joked to the old lady Bai.

It caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"The more you talk, the more evil it becomes. This big fish was caught by my family just now, and it has nothing to do with my newborn granddaughter. In our village, there are some who have a good harvest of millet, and some who have a lot of calves. What a rarity. Let's talk about Er Gouzi in Luobing Cave, his male dog has attracted a group of bitches. If you are unlucky, it's all fake." The old lady Bai stood in the yard with her hands folded, with a calm expression on her face.

Just now she quietly pulled Bai Dazhuang to the kitchen to ask about the details of fishing. Bai Dazhuang was similar to Bai Dalang's description.

The spectacle of the fish jumping from the ice hole to people's eyes made the old lady Bai feel agitated.

She didn't want Lao Bai's family to become the focus of public opinion in the village.
