Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The atmosphere in the village was a bit awkward.

Grandpa He’s “accomplice” and good neighbor Aunt Zhang has been promoting his “merits” among her circle of good sisters since morning.

When Aunt Zhang finished breakfast and went to work, she felt that she had something on her mind and wanted to talk to someone. Aunt Li, who worked in the same group with her, was curious about her competition with her and asked, "Why is your daughter-in-law not filial?"

"Tsk." Aunt Zhang stopped digging the corn stubble (the roots and hairs left buried in the ground after the corn is harvested), slowly straightened up, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my daughter-in-law is filial."

Aunt Li rolled her eyes at her and said, "Then why are you worried? They are filial and your greenhouse has made money. I think you have money to burn!"

Aunt Zhang's face was gloomy all the time: "Ah, no, I, alas..."

Aunt Li saw the old sister sighing but not talking about anything, which made her very anxious: "Why don't you say something! Stop sighing, are you going to drive me crazy?"

Ever since she found out about Grandpa He's family's dirty intentions, she has been feeling upset. She can't eat or sleep well, and always feels sorry for little He Xi. She has contributed to the development of our village free of charge, and she is also one of the beneficiaries, but she actually did something to hurt little He Xi.

The more Aunt Zhang thought about it, the more she felt sorry for little He Xi. She simply dropped the pickaxe in her hand and walked over to Aunt Li, leaning close to her and whispering, "Do you know? It's my neighbor, Mr. He and his friends..."

At this time, a "gossip-loving" aunt saw some people gathering together and whispering from the corner of her eye. Her mind became active. Was there something going on in the village that she didn't know?

No, she absolutely cannot be the last one to know!

The "long-tongued" aunt also dropped the tools in her hands and quietly approached the old sisters who were whispering.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were both angry when they spoke and were also angry when they listened. How could there be such a shameless person in this world, and he was once an old revolutionary? With such ideological awareness?

The two sisters talked in private for a while and then separated. Suddenly they saw the "long-tongued" aunt. They reacted and said, "Aunt Hua, why are you eavesdropping when you are not working? Go back to work."

Aunt Hua rolled her eyes and deliberately lowered her voice: "Are you telling the truth?"

The two older sisters denied it without even thinking about what she had heard: "We didn't say anything, so there's no need for you to ask."

Aunt Hua sneered, "They've already done it, do you still need to hide it for them? Who among the technicians Lu didn't sleep with Zheng Xiaoxiao?"

Aunt Hua's voice was not small. The two elder sisters quickly looked around and scolded her: "Keep your voice down. How can we know what people are doing behind closed doors? This is a matter of reputation. I advise you not to spread it around without knowing the whole story."

Aunt Hua was unhappy. She has the strictest mouth in our village, okay?

The old sisters sneered twice and went back to work, otherwise it would be bad if the scorer saw them. Since the work point system was redefined, the scorer's work attitude has become more rigorous than before.

Aunt Hua seemed to be used to them calling her a gossip. She muttered in a low voice, "What is there to hide? If they can do it, why can't I say anything? If not, go ask Aunt Lajiao. Her family is also a neighbor of Lao He's. Who is lying among the neighbors?"

Aunt Hua took advantage of the time when everyone was resting and stood up and walked to the seat of Aunt Chili, another neighbor of Mr. He. She glanced at the person sitting next to her and squeezed in to sit down in the middle: "Aunt Chili, did you hear anything last night?"

Everyone always doesn't want to pay attention to Aunt Hua, the gossipy woman. She keeps talking endlessly, repeating the same things over and over again. When they see her talking, they try to avoid her and show no mercy at all: "Noise? What noise do you want to hear?"

Aunt Hua made a "tsk" sound and smiled: "Playing dumb? What did you say?"

Aunt Chili shook her head: "I don't know what sound you want to hear."

Aunt Hua glanced at Aunt Zhang from the corner of her eye and said, "I knew you were helping the He family cover up the truth. You also helped with this kind of thing. You have a greenhouse at home, right? Are you doing this to little He Xi?"

Aunt Chili's face was clearly filled with anger: "Please explain clearly, what noise did I hear? What happened to my greenhouse? How did I let Xiao Hexi down?"

Listening to Aunt Chili's three consecutive questions, Aunt Hua frowned slightly and said in an exaggerated tone: "So you didn't know either? It seems that Mr. He's old neighbor is her Aunt Zhang's family!"

Aunt Hua talked more and more, and at the same time, she became more and more confused. Aunt Chili and her partner looked at her coldly: "Tell us everything you know, and we will seek justice for Xiao Hexi."

Aunt Hua glared at Aunt Chili and said, "You want to know? Then be nicer."

Aunt Hua: Output 10,000 words here...

During a break from work, Mr. He became the target of public criticism, and Lu Jinan's reputation was also damaged.

One by one, the aunts scolded the old couple in the He family for being good-for-nothings, asking how they could do such a thing. They also felt sorry for little He Xi, who had just escaped from her mother's clutches, and her life and career were on the right track. She finally found someone who truly loved her, but she had to deal with such a thing. Alas!

At noon, when work was over, many people gathered at the door of Old He's house. They stood at the door in indignation and began to curse their words and actions: "Old Man He, before you did this, do you still remember that you were an old revolutionary? You really disgraced the Communist Party."

"That's right, you drugged Technician Lu and tried to sleep with him. He's your granddaughter Xiao Hexi's fiancé, but you let your granddaughter come here. Are you disgusting? Are you still human?"

"Your daughter He Hua is not a good person either. She taught her daughter Zheng Xiaoxiao that kind of knowledge just to take down Technician Lu."

Some people cursed how could the He family let Aunt Zhang go!

"Aunt Zhang, you are blinded by money, aren't you feeling guilty for helping such a person?"

"How can you let your son and daughter-in-law hold their heads up high? On one hand, they enjoy the benefits provided by Xiao Hexi, while on the other hand, they stab her in the back."

Backstab? How did they know that word? Never mind. It doesn't matter.

……

He Hua wanted to die after hearing all this. What about her daughter? You are such a dishonest person, He Xi.

He Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao wrestled with the aunts at the door for a while before they "broke through the siege" and "rushed" all the way to He Xi's house, pointing at He Xi's nose and scolding: "He Xi, you are not a human being. You promised not to tell anyone about this, but now you see that your spit can drown my daughter."

The four of them were studying, and when they heard the shouting and cursing in the courtyard, He Xi's face was filled with anger: "Who is not a human being and does not do human work? Didn't you think that you would end up like this before you did that?"

He Xi? Wan Ren asked with some suspicion: "Has the truth been exposed? No way, who else knows?"
