Chapter 11: The Woman with a Long Tongue
Shijiagou is three or four miles away from the village of Yingkuangzi Village, and it is said that it is not far away, but it is not close.
That morning, Qiaolian had dinner early, entrusted the two children of Jiakang Jiayuan to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hu family to help take care of them, and then went to the village with the Hu family, the Li family and others.
The village headquarters of Yingkuangzi Village is on a flat land by the Xiaoya River, which used to be the ancestral hall of a certain family, and was requisitioned into the village department after liberation.
At this time, many people had gathered in the open space in front of the village.
In September, the crops were recovered, there was basically no work in the fields, and the question of land was discussed, and every household sent people.
The men gathered to talk about this year's harvest and what to plant next year.
The women who came with their men to join in the fun also got together.
Sitting on a stone or wooden pier, with an awl and needle and thread in hand, chatting and taking the soles of your shoes, listening to the movement of the other side, you did not delay anything.
"Look, the little widow from the old Qu family in Shijiagou is here.
Oh, look at her like that, the demon is delicate, and she is a vixen. ”
As soon as a woman looked up, she happened to see the families in Shijiagou coming over, so she pointed at Qiaolian in the middle.
Hearing this, the women around them who were bowing their heads and holding the soles of their shoes all raised their heads and looked in the direction of Shijiagou.
Then I saw a little daughter-in-law dressed in a new blue cloth and with short ears and hair in the middle of several people.
"Really, look at her dress, it looks like it's new. Doesn't it mean that the old composers are too poor to get by? How can this still afford to wear new clothes?
You see that the clothes are brand new, they must be newly made, right? Alas, if this woman can give up her face, she really won't worry about a bad life. ”
"A widow, dressed up all day long, just to attract a few more men.
Haven't you heard what the big guys have been saying lately? All said, this woman is restless, she hooks up all day long, and I don't know how many good people are outside.
That time, the two of them met at her house and fought, and she pulled from the middle, and ended up breaking her head.
Another time, it was said that a few good friends met and got into a fight, and one of them was slashed. ”
"Wouldn't this be a curse if I were to say? How can there be such a shameless woman in our village? She is messing around like this all day long, and even the atmosphere of our village is broken.
The village doesn't say it's in charge, so why don't you get rid of this vixen?
It is really embarrassing to keep her in the village to provoke three and four people, and the stinky men she attracts are like male dogs in heat. ”
"I say, you all have to keep an eye on your own men, don't let this little widow get hooked.
Look at her eyes, how seductive they are, those stinky men let her take a look, and her soul is hooked. ”
Several women chattered about Qiaolian together, and none of them said anything good about Qiaolian.
At first, the voice of the discussion was quieter, but then the voice became louder, and many people came over to discuss together.
These people turned their heads as they spoke, staring at Qiao Lian with a look of contempt and jealousy and resentment, Qiao Lian is not a fool, how can she not know that these people are talking about her?
Qiao Lian has also seen this kind of situation. In the past, when my in-laws were there, it was better, and there were few gossips.
Since the death of her in-laws, every time Qiaolian comes out of Shijiagou, a bunch of people will point fingers at her.
In the past, Qiaolian could only endure silently, but now it is different, the inside has been replaced by the spicy Chen Qiaoqiao, where is she willing to swallow her anger?
"If you have anything to say, just say it to your face, and talk about others behind your back, is it interesting?" Qiao Lian snorted with a cold face.
When the women got together, most of them were talking about the Li family.
For this period of backward information and underdeveloped entertainment, what people love to talk about the most is, of course, this peach-colored lace news.
Of course, the discussion is the discussion, don't look at what you just said is in full swing, at this time, the main owner opened his mouth to question, and these people first became weak-hearted.
Especially Qiao Lian had a cold face full of anger at the moment, and her eyes were cold and looking at everyone with murderous intent, which made these women feel terrified.
Many people hurriedly turned around and sat back in their original places, bowing their heads and taking the soles of their shoes.
The remaining few didn't dare to look up at Qiaolian with a weak heart, and sat there honestly.
Only the three people who started to talk at the beginning still didn't care about it, and when they heard Qiao Lian's words, they pursed their lips.
"It's really funny, we are talking and laughing together, and we don't name anyone, what are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of if you haven't done anything wrong? Or do you have a ghost in your heart, so you don't let people talk about it. ”
"Brother and sister, these are all relatives of the old Jiang family." Without waiting for Qiao Lian to speak, Sister-in-law Li next to her reminded Qiao Lian in a low voice.
"These days, the old Jiang family has ruined you a lot outside. said that you were not in tune, leading the fourth child of his family to learn badly, and also made people hurt Jiang Laosi. ”
As soon as she heard this, Qiao Lian also understood.
These people are relatives of the Jiang family, and Jiang Dequan and the Jiang family's mother-in-law have suffered losses from her before, and these people are unwilling to take revenge.
But he didn't dare to go to Qiaolian, so he used this method behind his back to ruin Qiaolian's reputation. made Qiaolian's reputation stink, and she couldn't hold her head up in the village in the future.
"Idiot, do you think I care about that?"
Qiao Lian snorted, she is not the Qiao Lian of the past, she is not so fragile, so she will not be afraid of these gossips.
"Yes, I didn't do anything bad in the first place, and of course I'm not afraid of anything.
I'm not like some people who know how to pull their wives' tongues all day long, and I don't know why those people are so cheap?
Aren't you afraid that you will have too much time to pull your wife's tongue, and your tongue will have boils and rot to your throat? ”
Qiaolian, who is a person who is bullied casually? When he opened his mouth, he scolded these people.
When the daughters-in-law heard this, they were not happy, and they stood up suddenly.
"Old Qu family widow, who did you just say has a boil? Do you want to try another one? ”
Qiao Lian sneered, "Sister-in-law, what a strange person you say, since ancient times, I have heard that there are people who pick up gold and silver, but I have never heard of someone picking up and scolding."
I didn't name anyone to scold, why are there still people on the pole to pick up and be scolded? Who is idle and has nothing to do all day long, pulling his wife's tongue and ruining others, who knows it in his own heart. ”
"Don't let me hold it, if I do catch these people, I'll send her straight to the village.
To ruin the reputation of others is to infringe on the right to reputation of others, which is a crime and will be imprisoned. ”
Who is Qiaolian? Can she be afraid of these women? Whatever you want, you can scare these women into peeing their pants.
Looking at the faces of those women, who were blue and white for a while, and opened their mouths to say but couldn't say anything, Qiao Lian felt so happy in her heart.
