Xu Zhaodi felt praised, her back straightened, her face was full of pride and pride, but she still said modestly, "Sister-in-law, you are exaggerating. I am not that great."

When He Jing heard this, she saw that Shi Chunlan was chatting outside and had not come back yet, and He Zhiqiang was out, so there was no one else at home.

This is a good time to ask around and find out some gossip about Hekou Village.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you know?" He Jing asked.

Liao Hongmei was a little surprised. She thought He Jing didn't seem like the kind of person who would ask about gossip, and she was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zhaodi didn't think much about it. She frowned and thought for a moment, "Tell me about the people you know."

"You know about Liu Xiangqiao's matter, but do you know how Zhou Cuihong got married?" Xu Zhaodi turned her head to look at the earthen wall, as if she could see through it and see Zhou Cuihong's face.

Liao Hongmei was curious about this. "From what mom said, she got married after the matchmaker saw her."

"What else is there?"

Xu Zhaodi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there is a lot of gossip in the middle, and it is also very exciting."

"What?" He Jing was a little confused.

Xu Zhaodi continued, "At the beginning, Chen Jianguo was not interested in Zhou Cuihong, but her sister Zhou Meihong."

"But Zhou Meihong fell into the river before she got married. She was rescued and had no choice but to remarry."

"Zhou Cuihong's parents didn't want to return the betrothal gift, so they let Zhou Cuihong marry in."

He Jing listened and frowned, but still asked, "How did you fall into the river?"

"I think I know," Liao Hongmei said. "Just upstream of our river, there was a pair of sisters who had a quarrel. The younger sister pushed her older sister into the river in anger and didn't call for help."

"Luckily there were other people fishing by the river, so they were able to rescue him."

Xu Zhaodi nodded repeatedly, "That's it."

"I think Zhou Cuihong was attracted by Chen Jianguo's good family background and good family background."

"But Chen Jianguo, you all saw it, he is just a lazy man. He can't control Zhou Cuihong even though she was so noisy."

However, Zhou Cuihong was still afraid. Chen Jianguo got drunk once and beat her very fiercely. "Xu Zhaodi heard it. The bamboo whip hit her hard every time.

"Also, Chen Jianguo's mother is also very cruel. Zhou Cuihong couldn't give birth to a son before, so she either beat or scolded her every day."

"After that person left, Zhou Cuihong's life became better."

Xu Zhaodi shook her head as she spoke. "After Liu Xiangqiao came into the family, she hadn't gotten pregnant for a few years. We all thought that Zhou Cuihong would be nicer to Liu Xiangqiao since she was so upset before. Who knew that she would get even worse."

He Jing listened silently.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the village.

If the daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a son, she will be asked to keep giving birth until she gives birth to a son.

The previous daughters were either given away or abandoned.

But the women here think this is normal.

They are obviously women too, but they just think that men are more powerful and that men are their protective shells.

However, He Jing also once thought so and thought so.

But in reality it is nothing.

In this world, the only one who can protect yourself is yourself.

This was something she had spent most of her life realizing.

Liao Hongmei noticed that He Jing's face looked strange, and guessed that there weren't so many things going on in Yunluo City, so she changed the subject and asked about other things.

Coincidentally, Shi Chunlan also came back.

Xu Zhaodi didn't talk much about gossip.

"Mom, how is Zhou Cuihong?" But Xu Zhaodi still wanted to know how Zhou Cuihong was doing.

Shi Chunlan shook her head repeatedly, "What can I do? I was taken away."

"But the specific punishment is unclear."

"What about her pickled beans?" Xu Zhaodi asked again.

Shi Chunlan sighed, "They took them all away."

“Ah.” How much money and effort does this require?

Xu Zhaodi felt distressed, but Zhou Cuihong deserved it.

Liao Hongmei kept listening, and her hands' movements became better and better, as if this way, the worries would not arise.

-

The situation in the Hekou Production Brigade is still optimistic, but the river water has risen and bridges in some places have been washed away.

The Hekou Production Brigade needs to send a dozen young and middle-aged men to help.

Of course, the armed forces will come too, but it will take some time.

During this period, production teams relied on mutual help.

As the captain of the production team, He Jijun was the first to sign up. He Jidong originally wanted to go but was stopped by He Jijun.

"If anything happens to me, the family will still need your support." This is what He Jijun said.

He Jidong's eyes suddenly turned red, "Brother, I'll go."

"You are more useful than me, so there is no point in me keeping you."

This made He Jijun so angry that he punched him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Can't you think of something good for me?" He Jijun was so angry that he laughed.

The two brothers were whispering to each other while the rest of the team were signing up.

When checking the list, He Jijun found Zhou Qian'an's name and immediately frowned, "Cross this out."

"Ah?" The person recording the name didn't understand. "Captain, this isn't good, right?"

Everyone in the village knows that Zhou Qian'an and He Jing are engaged, but now that someone has signed up, everyone can see it. If he doesn't let him go, how will others look at him and the He family?

"Chen Fanglan only has Zhou Qian'an as her son. If he dies and something happens to him, what will Chen Fanglan do?" He Jijun said righteously, "My little sister doesn't care. Even if she loses Zhou Qian'an, she still has other men. Why would she worry about not being able to get married?"

Recorder:"……"

That's what I said, but it's so hurtful.

"Then I'll go and talk to him," said the recorder.

But He Jijun waved his hand and said, "I'll go."

"If you go, you'll probably be scolded, and you'll have to come back to me." He Jijun looked through the list again, "If you have elderly and young people at home, and don't have brothers, don't let them come."

"The age limit can be relaxed a little." After He Jijun finished giving his instructions, he went to find Zhou Qian'an.

Zhou Qi'an didn't walk far, he just waited nearby, and when he saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Big Brother."

"Don't go." He Jijun was not polite and went straight to the point.

Zhou Qianan immediately thought of the reason, "Captain, I'm not married yet, I'm of the right age, and I'm strong enough."

"I can help as many as three people."

He Jijun certainly knew, "I'm not doing this for my little sister."

"Think more about your mother."

"I asked her, and she is very supportive." Zhou Qian'an answered directly.

He Jijun was speechless for a moment.

"My mother said that's how my father died, but she doesn't regret it," said Zhou Qian.

He Jijun's nose suddenly felt sour, and there was a huge stone stuck in his heart, and he couldn't utter a word.

"I go to help not only for those people upstream, but also for my family and everyone in the Hekou Production Brigade." Zhou Qian's black eyes were serious and his expression was solemn.
