Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife
Chapter 49 Village Rumors
Shi Qingqian walked into the house. Although the furniture inside was a bit simple, it didn't matter. She didn't buy it to live in.
As soon as the window was opened, sunlight poured in, making the whole room bright.
Shi Qingqian was very satisfied with the house. She said to the aunt, "Aunt, I like this house very much. Can you help me contact the owner of the house? I want to discuss the price with him."
The aunt nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there. I just made an agreement with him."
The aunt brought Shi Qingqian to the owner's house.
The old man saw Shi Qingqian and said, "Young comrade, do you really want to buy my house?"
Shi Qingqian nodded and said, "Grandpa, I really like your house. How much do you want to pay for it?"
The old man frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Young comrade, although my house is not big, it is about 600 square meters. I originally wanted to sell it to you for 550 yuan, but since you are so sincere, I will sell it to you for yuan."
After hearing this, Shi Qingqian thought the price was quite fair, so she immediately gave a deposit of 50 yuan, and gave the other 500 yuan to the old man after the house was transferred.
The old man took the money and handed the key to the house to Shi Qingqian, saying, "Young comrade, this house will be yours from now on. I hope you can take good care of it."
Shi Qingqian nodded: "Don't worry, old man."
After buying the house, Shi Qingqian took a ox cart back to the village.
……
Before the car stopped, Shi Qingqian saw Zhang Lanxiang standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village from afar.
Zhang Lanxiang was standing on tiptoe, stretching her neck to look in the direction the car was coming from.
Just when Zhang Lanxiang was looking forward to Shi Qingqian's return, several women at the village entrance gathered together.
They were whispering to each other, glancing at Zhang Lanxiang from time to time, their faces full of gloating expressions.
One of the women, a woman in a blue cloth jacket, said sarcastically, "Zhang Lanxiang, look at you. You spent a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, but it's not even been half a year and she's already run away with someone else. All that money is wasted."
"That's right, that's right. I told you long ago that the girl from the city was unreliable, but she didn't believe me. Now look what she has done. She's embarrassed herself."
They didn't lower their voices at all, deliberately letting Zhang Lanxiang hear them.
Just because Zhang Lanxiang gave birth to a son who became an officer and built a big house, all the women in the village were jealous of her.
Now that they finally have the chance to laugh at her, they naturally won't miss this opportunity.
Zhang Lanxiang instantly became angry after hearing these words.
Her face flushed crimson, and she quickly walked up to the women, pointing her finger at them and yelling, "Stop your nonsense, you gossipers! My Qingqian isn't that kind of person. She just went to the city to do some work. Stop making up stories about her."
"Hey, Zhang Lanxiang, don't be so stubborn. It's been a few days and I haven't seen him. He must have run away. Don't deceive yourself."
"That's right, why don't you quickly arrange a new marriage for your third son? If you delay any longer, he'll probably end up marrying a divorced woman with children."
"What's the point of arranging it? Marrying her will make her a widow. Who would push their daughter into the fire pit of her family?"
They talked to each other.
Zhang Lanxiang was shaking with anger. She shouted, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just jealous of my son's success. He has a bright future in the army, and he married a educated and good wife."
"Bah! I'm telling you, my son and daughter-in-law are just that good. Even those bastards you raised can't catch up to my son."
Zhang Lanxiang grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her hands on her hips, spit flying everywhere. "You, Widow Wang, how dare you say such irresponsible things? How did your wife die? It's because you keep nagging me all the time, it's driving me crazy."
"And you, Mrs. Li, your sons are almost thirty and still single, but you don't worry about them, but instead come to worry about my family's affairs. You must have nothing better to do."
"Let me tell you, my Qingqian is an intellectual and a very capable person. Unlike those people in your family, who only know how to mess around in this small village and never achieve anything in their lives."
"If you dare to gossip about me again, I won't be polite. I'll expose all your bad deeds and let everyone see your true colors."
……
Just as the argument between the two sides was getting more and more intense, the ox cart stopped and Shi Qingqian got off the cart.
She saw Zhang Lanxiang arguing at a glance.
"Mom," Shi Qingqian walked to Zhang Lanxiang's side, "Mom, what happened?"
Shi Qingqian's eyes swept over those women.
The moment they saw Shi Qingqian, their expressions became a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Li said stubbornly, "Oh, you still remember to come back. We thought you really ran away with someone."
Shi Qingqian glanced at her coldly and said, "I think some people are just meddling in other people's business. Whether I come back or not has nothing to do with you guys. I haven't even figured out my own family affairs, so what qualifications do I have to criticize others here?"
"My family is doing well, so there's no need to worry about it. But I have one more thing to remind you: my man is defending his country, not for you to insult his mother or slander his wife. The Party and the country will not allow anyone to damage the rear and defame the reputation of military families."
"You're disrespecting the soldiers by talking nonsense here. Today I'm in a good mood so I won't argue with you. If you do it again, I'll call the police. Think carefully about whether these old bones can withstand the police interrogation."
When Zhang Lanxiang saw them trembling with fear when they heard the police, she finally let out the anger in her heart.
"Qingqian, don't bother with them, let's go home."
Shi Qingqian nodded, supported Zhang Lanxiang, turned around and left.
When leaving, Shi Qingqian looked back at those women with a warning in her eyes.
Those women looked at Shi Qingqian and Zhang Lanxiang's departing backs, looking at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes but no one dared to say anything more.
Although they had little contact with Shi Qingqian, they all heard that Shi Qingqian called the police and had Li Guihua's brother taken to the police station.
She didn't even show mercy to her sister-in-law Li Guihua, let alone those who had a grudge against Zhang Lanxiang.
