After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 20: The Abandoned First Wife (2)
Yuan Xiuxiu: "Xiaomin, you were really awesome just now. Your move to hit Sister Chen was so swift and clean."
Yuan Xiuxiu was genuinely excited; she had been secretly thrilled when Zeng Min was fighting.
Because I don't know how to fight or argue, I always forget what to say when I argue with the women in the village, and afterwards I feel regretful and frustrated.
Yuan Xiuxiu: "Xiaomin, I haven't seen you wandering around the village listening to gossip for the past few months. Didn't you say you shouldn't be interested in men? What? Are you really heartbroken?" After saying that, she nudged Zeng Min with her shoulder.
Zeng Min staggered and scolded, "...I'm divorced, can't I even be sad for a moment? Besides, don't you know how strong you are? Didn't you know to hold back when you bumped into me? I almost fell over."
"I told you not to get emotionally attached to men, but you did anyway!" Zeng Min rolled her eyes at Yuan Xiuxiu, but didn't say the last sentence aloud.
Because the two are very close friends who can talk about anything, they don't hold back in their conversations.
Zeng Min and Yuan Xiuxiu were from the same village. They were close friends who grew up playing together and often slept together.
Yuan Xiuxiu and her husband Tu Jianshe met through Zeng Min. When Zeng Min married into the Banzhulin Brigade, Yuan Xiuxiu came to visit Zeng Min.
They and Tu Jianshe took a liking to each other.
So Tu Jianshe and Yuan Xiuxiu became a couple.
When they first got together, Zeng Min joked with Yuan Xiuxiu, telling her not to care too much about men and to focus on herself, or she would be in trouble later.
Zeng Min often said some shocking things to Yuan Xiuxiu that were inconsistent with the current situation, and Yuan Xiuxiu was influenced by him.
Without realizing it, she found herself thinking in sync with Zeng Min, and was the most open-minded person in life, even indifferent to her parents' preference for sons over daughters.
Therefore, Yuan Xiuxiu was the only one who wasn't surprised by Zeng Min's divorce.
Yuan Xiuxiu: "What's so sad about divorce? Didn't you say that no matter what happens, loving yourself should always come first? You were so eloquent when you were talking about me, so why are you so upset now? How about I find you another man so you can forget the first one?"
Zeng Min: "I will definitely look for someone, but not now. Besides, who will support me if I don't look for someone? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can support myself and Anlin on my own?"
Zeng Min grew up in the village and saw so much that she was afraid of doing farm work. The busy farming season was Zeng Min's nightmare because she couldn't escape it. Zeng Min's childhood dream was to marry a man who wouldn't let her do farm work and would provide her with good food, drink, and clothes.
Nowadays, in rural areas, the only way for women to change their fate is to get married. Girls have no chance of getting ahead. Men are given priority in getting ahead. Take Zeng Min, for example. Her parents wouldn't let her continue her studies after she finished elementary school, thinking it wasn't worth it.
For girls who grew up in remote mountain villages, the only way out is to find a man with a job. With a job comes money, and with money, they don't have to work.
From a young age, I've seen the wives and girls around me working themselves to the bone every day, even with big bellies, working hard under the scorching sun to support their families.
When you get back, you still have to do laundry and cook. A woman needs eight hands to keep busy, and the man still thinks you're too idle.
Both men and women do the same work, but when men come home, they're treated like royalty, while women have endless chores to do. Sometimes, when men are in a bad mood, they take it out on women.
Isn't that terrifying!
Because Zeng Min got along well with Yuan Xiuxiu, they could talk about anything.
Zeng Min can show her most authentic self to Yuan Xiuxiu.
Zeng Min added, "What I said before was true. If I had truly been wholeheartedly devoted to men before, wouldn't I have jumped into a well and hanged myself now that I'm divorced?"
"The current situation proves that I was right, so you should learn from my experience and remember it well. It's only right that your man treats you well, so don't feel that he's being wronged."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiuxiu nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I understand."
Yuan Xiuxiu whispered in Zeng Min's ear, "Hey, do you know that Sister He Yan is pregnant?"
"What's so strange about being pregnant? Why are you being so mysterious?" Zeng Min looked at her suspiciously.
Yuan Xiuxiu glanced around and saw that there was nothing alive and able to walk.
Then she whispered in Zeng Min's ear, "Pregnancy is nothing unusual, but do you know whose child He Yan is carrying?"
Zeng Min: "It's her husband's, of course. Could it be his older brother's?" Zeng Min guessed casually because of the rumors circulating in the village.
Yuan Xiuxiu clapped her hands together, making a snapping sound, and said, "Hey, you guessed right, it's Li Dashan's."
Zeng Min exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Who told you that?"
"Sister He Yan herself said so,"
"Sister Lotus Leaf, why would you say that?"
Yuan Xiuxiu: "Cough cough, she was talking to a few close young wives in the village, and my mother-in-law's friend overheard it and told my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law then told me, and that's why I'm telling you."
Zeng Min's eyes lit up, her expression excited: "Could the rumors be true? Sister He Yan is too carefree, spreading the word everywhere."
Yuan Xiuxiu disagreed: "With He Yan's outspoken personality, what could she possibly hide? Besides, it's just about the lamp incident. Which of the older generation in this village can't let it go? The Li brothers aren't exactly shameful either."
"As long as Sister Heyan doesn't mind, it's nothing. There are other examples like this." Yuan Xiuxiu felt it was nothing.
There's a couple in the village who are divorced but still live together. The ex-wife and the current wife live under the same roof, and the ex-wife even raised the current wife's child, who is very filial.
If men can have two wives, why can't women have two husbands?
As for who they were talking about?
The Li family, a poor household in the team, actually has a small number of members, all of whom are able-bodied adults. In theory, they shouldn't be in such dire straits.
But this wasn't a year of famine. Wasn't Li's father killed by a wild boar while hunting in the mountains?
The year before Li's father died, he arranged a fiancée for Li Ershan. The fiancée's parents wanted to marry their daughter off to the family early so as to save some food.
The Li family had no choice but to send Li's father into the mountains to look for food so that his daughter-in-law could have something good to eat when she married into the family. However, instead of finding anything to eat, he was attacked and killed by a wild boar.
Li's mother and father had a good relationship and were known as a loving couple in the team. They always went everywhere together.
Because of the death of Li's father and her depleted health, Li's mother was overwhelmed by the shock and her health deteriorated rapidly.
The brothers Li Dashan and Li Ershan had just suffered the blow of their father's death and were exhausted after burying him, as their mother was seriously ill.
They emptied their savings to send Li's mother to the hospital. After she was discharged, due to the famine, although her health did not improve, there was not much food to nourish her body, and Li's mother's health remained poor.
The famine hasn't even ended yet! Chen Jia, Li Ershan's fiancée, saw that Li's parents had either died or fallen ill because of the demands they made, and she was afraid that Li's family would abandon their "money-losing" daughter and return the betrothal gifts.
They hurriedly sent Chen Heyan to the Li family. Fortunately, the Chen family girl was a good person, unlike the mean-spirited Chen family members.
Li Ershan got married in a daze.
They've been married for seven or eight years, but still don't have a child.
Some people have also seen Chen Heyan getting close to Li's eldest son, and they think she's even closer to him than Li Ershan. So some people are speculating that Li Ershan might be infertile.
So, in order to ensure the continuation of the Li family line, they followed the example of another family. After all, they were all of the same bloodline, and as long as it wasn't made public, the villagers weren't surprised.
Although the villagers each have their own little schemes and love to take advantage of others, they are also united despite living in such remote mountain areas.
Nobody went looking for trouble. As for why everyone likes to gossip, it's because they have nothing better to do at night, so they talk about dirty gossip.
When Chen Heyan became pregnant, everyone just speculated whether it confirmed the rumors.
