Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1312 War of Words
A Guang was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed a problem...

"Will I be laughed at?"

"If it were you, when you were five or six, seven or eight years old, and the kids in the village came up to you and laughed at you, saying that your brother and sister were married, what would you do? Children also have to have dignity."

A Guang was silent for a moment.

"Your family is now a big family in the village, and is well-known throughout the village. You can be considered well-known, right? I think you should ask your father whether this was his idea or Aunt Ma's. It's really amazing! Is he so happy about having another son that he has lost his mind?"

There have been a lot of weird things happening in the past few months.

He didn't want to say anything. It was their own family affair and it was not his place to say who his sister was going to marry.

But he saw that A Guang didn't seem to react. He didn't know if he didn't think much about it, or if he was too busy with the recent loan issue and didn't care.

Originally, he thought that A Guang was against it, so he just took it as a joke and even made a few funny remarks and laughed at him.

"Let me ask you again, is Dongqing unable to get married? Do you think Jianshe's family is good?"

"Of course not. Which young man in the surrounding area doesn't dream of marrying my sister?"

"Then why do you want to mention Lin Jianshe? What's so good about him? Tell me. At most, we know him well. To put it bluntly, his family is a poor family with nothing. Your family doesn't need a son-in-law, right?"

There are even more unpleasant things, but he was too embarrassed to say them. After all, A Guang and Lin Jianshe are a family.

"I didn't think about it. I listened to it the night before yesterday and was just shocked. I hadn't digested it yet, so I went out the next day and only came back last night."

"What does Holly say?"

"She's probably still confused. The little girl is shy and doesn't have a lot of ideas. My dad asked her to think about it for a few days. There's no rush anyway. We can talk about it after the New Year. But I heard that Aunt Ma went to see the date this morning."

"Fuck! That's awesome! You're confused too. I'll go get my mom and tell her about it."

Are you going to check the date?
Doesn't this confirm the truth? Damn, this is so confusing.

"say what……"

"You have never had a female elder in your family since you were a child. The three siblings have grown up freely. You have rarely heard of these gossips. I will call my mother over to talk to you and analyze it for you."

Ye Yaodong felt that maybe since A Guang had never had a mother since he was a child, he might not know how serious the situation was, and this was even related to the family feud.

When I heard this idea, I knew it was most likely from my stepmother.

A widow with a bunch of children married a rich old man. She now lives a worry-free life with more hope in the future. Her children have jobs and her retirement is also provided for.

She even gave birth to a son, so the future inheritance was settled. She was lucky enough to get half of the family property.

And now when my son gets married, he can get a great daughter-in-law for free, and can also get a little more of the family property. It's really incredible.

"Ah Jiang!"

Ye Yaodong shouted loudly to Ye Chengjiang who was fighting with Ye's father for the motorcycle.

When Ye Chengjiang heard Ye Yaodong calling him, he immediately ran over without saying a word, "Uncle San, what's the matter? Just tell me I'll do anything for you."

"You're so stupid! Go to the village committee and call your grandma back. Run quickly."

"Okay, right away. I'll go there on my motorcycle."

"Don't show off, just run. We're in the village, and the roads are all gravel. Aren't your feet faster than riding a motorcycle?"

"okay."

"If you call your mother over and tell her, won't the whole village know about it?"

"Are you afraid that the whole village will know? Don't you know that it would be bad if this were spread out?"

"Well, I just didn't think about it too much. I knew psychologically that it wasn't a good idea. I just thought it was okay for the construction workers, and they weren't outsiders..."

"If his mother hadn't married your father, it would be fine. Being a little poor is not a big deal, and being three years older is no problem. The key is that his mother is your stepmother and gave birth to your father's youngest son. If he married your sister, your family might as well change the surname to Lin."

Originally, his parents were attracted to his family because of its simple population and lack of a mistress, so Huimei could be the head of the family without any worries.

Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin appears out of nowhere, gives birth to a son, and has a plan in mind?

Then just let Old Pei marry into the family.

If Huimei hadn't married him, he would have just treated it as a joke. This was simply the drama of the year, second only to the threesome of Haozi's family.

A Guang thought silently.

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything, letting him figure it out on his own.

He waited until his mother came running over in a hurry before he stood up and pulled the person into the house. His mother's voice was a little loud.

"What's the matter? You called me back in a hurry. I thought it was something urgent. Jiang kept urging me to run faster. Did this bastard take your words as an imperial decree?"

"Mom, Old Pei wants to marry Dong Qing to Jianshe!"

"Ah, what does it have to do with me? Her daughter can marry whoever she wants. She's not my daughter." Ye's mother stared at him in confusion, pushed him away and tried to walk out, "I thought it was some big deal..."

Ye Yaodong held his mother again, "That Jianshe is Aunt Ma's son."

Mother Ye's eyes widened. "Who? Whose son? Which construction company?"

"Old Pei wants to marry his daughter to his stepson."

Ye's mother was shocked and turned to look at A Guang.

Ah Guang smiled and explained, "It hasn't been decided yet, I just mentioned it and asked for their opinions first..."

“Oh my goodness? Isn’t this a mess… a mess?” Ye’s mother didn’t dare to say those two words. After all, she was still a virgin, and it would sound a bit harsh to say them.

She slapped her thigh fiercely, "What a fool! Has this in-law lost his temper? Has he lost his dignity? Has he been bewitched by that old woman? How could he come up with such a stupid idea?"

"It's not like you can't get married, why do you want to marry your stepson? You'll have to be treated with respect for the rest of your life. How can Dongqing hold her head up high in the future? Everyone will talk about her behind her back."

"Your family is well-known in the village, but you still want to make fun of yourself during the New Year. Do you think there aren't enough jokes in the village?"

"He married an old partner at his old age and had a son who was the same age as his grandson. People would praise him for being strong and healthy. But now he wants his stepson to marry his daughter. People's spine is about to burst."

Ah Guang was also enlightened, "I was thinking about other things at the time, and didn't think much about it..."

"If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. The old saying is absolutely true. You should separate the family as soon as possible. Old Pei already has a young son, and you older ones are not important anymore."

"It's not like you can't get married. Dongqing has such good conditions. She can even marry a cadre. Why would she want to marry a poor man?"

"If your father hadn't married the old lady, the whole family would have been worried about the next meal. Now that you have turned the tables and become the master, you dare to think about the eldest daughter. Are you giving her face? Whose idea was this? It must be the stepmother's idea. The beads on this abacus are falling on my face."

"She went straight from stepmother to mother-in-law, and she can control your whole family right away. Damn, that old woman is really smart."

"I guess hooking up with your father was premeditated! Not only is he looking for a long-term job for you, but now he's even swallowing up your family."

"Bah, when I marry your sister, she will have the final say in the family. She will go from being a stepmother to a real mother-in-law, and she won't have to be so cautious anymore.

Ye's mother pulled A Guang and said, "You better be smart. Don't be fooled. If you really marry your sister to a poor man, you will regret it later."

"It's definitely not your father who can come up with this idea. Your father has been so fussy about it that he has become confused. He thinks that if he has a son, he will become the hero of your family and everything will have to be decided by her? Will there be a place for you in the future? The youngest son is definitely the most favored, and he even has his own mother to persuade him."

Ye Yaodong interrupted and reminded, "Mom, it might be too late. His stepmother went to check the date this morning."

"What? It's time to go to see the date, this old witch..." Mother Ye was so anxious that she swore several times.

She pushed A Guang and said, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go home and stop them. If you really come back after choosing a date, you can tell the neighbors about it and the matter will be settled. Then what will you have to do with this family in the future?"

Ah Guang quickly ran home, but just as he ran out of the yard, he turned back and said, "I'll put the child here. You can take a look at him."

"Go quickly, the child won't be lost."

Mother Ye cursed, "What an old bastard, you're still able to come out at your age and plot against my whole family..."

"If this works, won't Old Pei's whole family have to work for her to earn money? Shameless old woman..."

"You can get both money and people. If there are problems in the future, can your parents come to you to support you? You have to swallow all the hardships. The old woman has the final say in the family."

"Old Pei used to look smart, but now he's so biased that he's almost at the mercy of others. The little ones are treasures, and the big ones are weeds. He's even more biased than the old ones in the family, and his heart is crooked..."

Seeing his mother scolding louder and louder, Ye Yaodong pulled her and said, "Why don't you go with us to take a look? Huimei has no experience and she didn't even tell anyone when she found out about this. I guess the couple didn't think much of it."

"Yes, I have to go and take a look and listen. I can't let them suffer. It would be bad if this were to be spread out..."

"Mom, call a few more women from the Women's Federation."

Mother Ye gave him an admiring look and said, "Yes, we need to take care of this matter. How can a daughter marry a son? If it gets out, it will cause chaos..."

She walked out quickly, went to the village committee first to call two or three women, and then went to A Guang's house together.

Ye Yaodong didn't feel comfortable going out to watch the fun. This was really not a matter that they were suited to get involved in. At most they could just give a few words of advice.

Lin Xiuqing came back after finishing her work in the workshop and saw him sitting at the door looking into the distance, as if something happened. He was no longer as leisurely as before, and she felt a little curious.

"What are you looking at, waiting for someone?"

"No, I'm telling you..."

Ye Yaodong pulled her to sit on the stool next to him, and then told A Qing what had just happened.

Lin Xiuqing was extremely shocked. "Ah? This is even possible. How could anyone even think of this? Dong Qing could easily marry someone better..."

"It's better to marry someone worse than a stepbrother."

"Mom has passed away? I'll go check it out too."

"Ah, do you want to go over and take a look too? Then I'll go too."

Got company!
He's not the only one gossiping.

"Of course. Mom has called people over, so there must be a lot of noise. The neighbors must have gone to watch the fun. What secrets can there be?"

"Then take the twins and Pei Yu with you. It will be a good excuse to send them back."

The couple hurried to take care of the child. Father Ye looked at their actions and asked curiously, then followed them.

When they entered the village, they saw the aunties and grandmas sitting on the roadside eating melon seeds. They looked very leisurely and did not talk about the Pei family's affairs. They thought it was resolved peacefully.

Unexpectedly, when I walked to the main road at the entrance of the village, I saw that the door of A Guang's house on the roadside ahead was already surrounded by people.

After they looked at each other, some of them holding their children and some pushing strollers, all started jogging.

As soon as I got closer, I heard his mother's loud voice.

"How could I interfere in your family affairs? I am from the Women's Federation of the village. What you did was not decent, but you don't allow people to speak out?"

"Whose daughter married a son? A stepson is also a son. If you tell others about this, people will criticize you. How can such a thing happen in our civilized village?"

They quickly stood in the crowd to listen.

"It's your turn to comment on my family affairs..."

"Don't do anything that makes people pick on you, or we won't talk to you."

"Why are you interfering? We are just getting married, and it won't affect anything in the village."

"There are still propaganda slogans painted on the walls outside, advocating the five virtues and four beauties, strengthening the construction of civic morality and social trends, and improving the spiritual civilization level of the whole society. They are still printed on the walls of your house."

"What a mess..."

"If you have nothing to do, read more books and newspapers. What kind of society is this now? Not only is your daughter marrying your son, but it's also an arranged marriage, which has affected the customs of our entire village. No one would do this in feudal society. We are now in a modernist society."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father in surprise, "Is my mother so amazing? She is so enlightened. Does she read a lot of newspapers?"

Everyone knows that the job has been put online.

"So reading more newspapers is helpful. I don't swear anymore."

"Go away, we are happy as long as we are happy. We don't need an outsider like you to interfere..."

Ah Guang pulled Dong Qing out and said, "We are not happy about it. We just mentioned it as a joke. It's something that has no basis in our relationship, but we didn't expect to make a fool of ourselves. Don't take it seriously. Dong Qing already has a partner, it's not Jianshe."

As he spoke, he smiled and spread his hands, inviting the neighbors to leave. "When there is a wedding at home, I will invite the neighbors to eat wedding candy and melon seeds."

Aunt Ma was not happy and pulled him, "Where did Dongqing find a partner? Don't talk nonsense. Her horoscopes are compatible with Jianshe's. It's great. She will bring good fortune to the family, husband and children. I checked the date this morning and am waiting to hold the wedding banquet right after the New Year."

Ah Guang's face darkened immediately. "When did you match the horoscopes? Why didn't I know? It takes three days to match the horoscopes, and everything must be fine. You matched them three days ago? And you only told us the night before yesterday after you did it?"

Aunt Ma felt guilty, her temper softened, and she spoke in a low voice, "I just wanted to get married in advance, so that we can talk about it when there is nothing else. If something happens, we don't need to mention it if it's not appropriate, so as to avoid letting the two children know and feel uncomfortable."

Ah Guang looked at his father, "Did you know this a long time ago? Did you know that she had a good horoscope?"

"What your aunt said makes sense. It's okay if the horoscopes match. No problem. We can tell them about it. Otherwise, if it's not suitable, it will only be awkward if we tell them about it."

Ye's mother said loudly, "Look, the two children themselves don't even know they want to get married, their horoscopes are all compatible, in which family would such a thing happen? Are you really planning to arrange a marriage? This is not the old society."

Father Pei had a stern face and said seriously: "Don't get involved, mother-in-law. Go back. We can communicate our own family affairs."

"You guys are also required to do human work. To put it bluntly, what you are doing is just chaos. How can this kind of thing happen in the village? Relatives, you are confused."

"You are now a well-known person in our village. It's not nice to say that your stepson is marrying your daughter. It's not like you can't get married. You still have to deal with it yourself, right?"

"Dongqing is such a good girl, she can even marry a cadre, just like Yingqiu, and you will be proud to marry a navy soldier."

Aunt Ma glared at Ye's mother, "Who is not doing their job? Mother-in-law, this is our family affair, please don't meddle in other people's affairs. If you have the time to complain, you should take care of your own son and daughter first."

"What's wrong with my son and daughter? They are excellent. They can only bring honor to me."

Ah Guang looked at Pei's father with disappointment, "Dad, what you did was not right. Don't you need to let me know about such a big thing? My own sister's marriage..."

Aunt Ma stood next to Father Pei and asked, "Didn't I say that the day before yesterday?"

"The day before yesterday I told Dong Qing to think about it and we'll talk about it after the New Year. Why did you go to look for an auspicious date today? Do you want to get married even if you don't want to? Why? You have the final say in this family."

"Of course I don't have the final say. Your father has the final say in this family. If your father agrees, then it's settled."

"Having a son has made you more confident? Your voice has become louder. You used to be very cautious and flattering in your words. Now you're awesome now?"

"Alright!" Father Pei raised his voice, "Don't make fun of us. If there is anything, let's talk behind closed doors."

"You also know that this will be laughed at by others? The villagers have heard it, and they all know it. We have to make it clear in front of everyone, otherwise we don't know how it will be spread. They will think that Dong Qing really has something with Jianshe, so they want their daughter to marry their stepson. How will you let her live her life when she goes out, and how will she find a husband?"

"She herself is willing. It's her who is getting married, not you. Why are you objecting to it?"

A Guang looked at Dong Qing who was standing in the corner, "Are you willing?"

Dongqing shook her head and whispered, "I don't want to."

"Hey? Why are you like this? When I told you about it the day before yesterday, you all said nothing was wrong. Is it her?" Aunt Ma pointed at Ye's mother.

"You troublemaker, why do you meddle in other people's affairs? Our family was fine..."

Ye Huimei stood in front of her mother, "You are..."

Mother Ye pulled her back and protected her behind her, pointing at Aunt Ma and scolding her.

"You are the troublemaker. You have a good plan. You took care of the old one and gave birth to a little one. Now that you have stood up straight, you want to eat the swan meat."

"You want to go from being a stepmother to being a mother-in-law, and control the whole family. Do you think no one knows your wishful thinking? Who do you think is a fool?"

"They are all young and have no mother to teach them. They don't know a lot of things and have grown up in a daze. You can fool the old ones and cheat the young ones, but can you cheat us?"

"Tell the villagers, who is the troublemaker who is plotting something?"

"If you let your son marry Dong Qing, you will have to make the final decision for this family. They will all have to obey your will. You might as well just let them all have the surname Lin."

"This abacus is about to fall on my face. Why don't you just take advantage of the villagers being here and kick out Guang's family of five? This house will be yours, and all the property will belong to your eldest son and youngest son."

Ye's mother pointed at her and started scolding her without giving her a chance to interrupt, without even taking a breath.

She has never lost when it comes to swearing, it just depends on whether she wants to swear or not.

When Mr. Pei heard this, his face turned dark and he looked at Ma Lifang several times.

"You're full of shit, who would think that? I'm doing this for her own good. How can a man marrying someone else be as good as Jianshe? We know each other well and grew up together. Jianshe..."

"Bullshit, if you marry your son, you will have to lead your entire family to sweep the grave and kowtow to the man before you on Qingming Festival next year."

Ye Yaodong secretly gave his mother a thumbs up. This was a perfect curse, a critical hit!

Old Pei's face turned pale and he glared at Ma Lifang fiercely!

What Ye's mother said hit him right in the lungs and went straight to his heart.

Asking his younger daughter and son to sweep the grave and kowtow to Ma Lifang's ex-husband is a slap in his face.

Ma Lifang looked unhappy. "You are talking nonsense, you gossip, what has it to do with you? Why are you talking so harshly..."

Mother Ye started to speak again, "Isn't it possible to tell the truth? If you let your son marry Dong Qing, wouldn't that mean that both the eldest and the youngest sons have a place to stay?"

"Use Lao Pei's property to subsidize Lao Lin's family, register as Lao Lin's household, sweep Lao Lin's grave, and bury him in his ancestral tomb in the future."

"Your eating manner is too ugly, it's no different from eating out of a family with no relatives. When eating out of a family with no relatives, they have to share the food with several relatives, but you eat it all by yourself, aren't you afraid of choking to death?"

Aunt Ma rushed forward and tried to hit Mother Ye, but A Guang and Hui Mei quickly stepped in to stop her.

Ye Yaodong also gave the child to Lin Xiuqing to look after, and he and Ye's father also stepped forward to stop them.

A group of people started to pull and tug at each other, and the two women greeted each other across the crowd.

"Who are you cursing, you old witch? You ruined such a happy event. Why don't you just die? Why are you cursing our family..."

"Why should I die? I don't deserve to die. I haven't done anything wrong, and I don't covet other people's property. If someone is going to die, it should be someone who deserves to die..."

"You are the one who deserves to die..."

"I shouldn't die. I am blessed now..."

"You old bitch with a mouth full of shit...eat shit..."

"You are the one who eats shit. You can't finish it yourself and you have to feed others. It's disgusting. Dongqing is so good-looking and has a rich dowry. Those who want to marry her can line up from the village to the city."

"Bah, she's been doing it with a bunch of men all day, getting together..."

Father Pei slapped him in the face and said, "Shut your mouth."

"You hit me? I just gave birth to a son for you, and you turned your back on me? I'm going to fight you..."

The target of the battle had changed, and Ye's mother immediately led her family members to retreat. It was time for her to retire.
She was the one who was performing for others just now, and now it was her turn to watch the show.

Father Pei pushed Ma Lifang away and asked, "Have you had enough of the trouble?"

Ma Lifang's son and daughter also hurriedly pulled her and protected her.

"Uncle Pei, let's talk it over..."

Father Pei said nothing. He turned to the villagers who were watching the fun and said, "Today's incident is a joke to everyone. It was just a misunderstanding. The woman in the family acted first and reported later without telling us."

"Dongqing is indeed not young anymore, but her marriage must be based on her own wishes. We as parents must not force her. This is a new society, and arranged marriages are definitely not allowed."

"If you have a suitable candidate, please help introduce him to me. If it works out, I will give everyone a big red envelope as a matchmaker to share in the joy."

"The same goes for Jianshe. He's old enough and needs to get married. This kid is also well-behaved, hardworking and sensible. If anyone has a suitable girl, please help introduce her to me. I watched him grow up and he's my son now, so I have to take good care of him."

A neighbor said, "That's right, Lao Pei, you can't let the women in your house mess around."

"Yes, it's not okay for a sister and a brother to get married. Even though they are not related by blood, it won't sound good if people tell others about it."

"Yes, Dongqing and Jianshe are both good kids, but we can't just randomly match them up..."

Father Pei smiled and said, "No, no, she doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. How could I not know the seriousness of the matter? I was just fooled by her at the beginning."

"Speak nicely and don't hit anyone."

"If a woman is not obedient, she needs to be disciplined, beaten, or something else..."

Father Pei listened to everyone's discussion, glanced at Mother Ye, and simply ignored it.

He looked at Ye's father again and whispered, "My dear relatives, I have made a fool of myself by reminding you. You are right to remind me. That's all for today. You can go back first."

Father Ye said, "You have to be more careful and not be so careless as to not let the children down. The palm of your hand is made of flesh, and the back of your hand is also made of flesh. Moreover, the first three children have suffered from not having a mother, so you have to feel more compassion for them."

"I know, I was confused for a moment, but I won't do that again."

"Then we'll go first, you take care of your household affairs first."

"Ah."

Father Ye took the lead and led his family out first. Although the neighbors were also curious about what happened next, they had been driven away, so they had no choice but to follow Father Ye and the others out, but they looked back every few steps.

Lin Xiuqing also handed the three children to Ye Huimei and whispered, "Take them into the house first, don't scare the children. If there is anything in the future, remember to go home and tell them, don't hide it, otherwise you will suffer a loss without knowing it."

"I know."

"I see you don't have lunch yet. Bring the kids and Guang to my house to eat later. I'll go back and cook some more."

"it is good."

Lin Xiuqing was the last one to leave after she finished speaking.

Ye's father, Ye's mother, and Ye Yaodong were waiting for her at the door.

She said, "I told Huimei to bring Guang and the children to my house for dinner later."

Ye's mother agreed, "Yes, cook more. The whole family will definitely have nothing to eat at noon because of the noise. It's okay for the adults to be hungry, but don't let the children go hungry."

Did you enjoy reading this chapter? Don’t criticize me after you finish reading it next time. It’s something that hasn’t happened yet, but it just gave a hint and everyone is so excited.

In fact, reality is more magical than fiction. There are many such things, not to mention the backward 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Today I saw that the backend was blown up, so I quickly wrote the follow-up for you, and updated it early
