Hua Cui pursed her lips and said nothing, but stared at Zhao Qiming unblinkingly.
"What's wrong? Did mother say something to you?" Zhao Qiming couldn't eat when she looked at him like that. His chest seemed to have been scratched by a kitten's paws, and he felt distressed.
"Your mother, and your sister-in-law, they all bullied me!"
"Don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health. Tell me slowly what happened. I'll make the decision for you. Don't get sulky, okay?" Zhao Qiming coaxed her in a low voice. The two of them were very close. He coaxes like a child.
Zhao Qiming was also puzzled. When he went out in the morning, everything was fine at home, but when he disappeared for a while, there was a conflict.
Huacui described what happened at noon in an elaborate manner.
"She has always been cooking. Why is she suddenly asking me to cook? And I can't cook at all. Your mother is just deliberately making things difficult for me." Hua Cui wrinkled her nose and snorted, "She just likes Chen Lili more and then dislikes her." I like your sister-in-law to be more capable than me! If you don’t like her, I don’t like her, and I don’t want her to like you either.”
Huacui is very strong-minded, but of course, she also has an element of anger.
This "she" naturally refers to Li Guifang. Zhao Qiming heard her say "your mother" and "your sister-in-law" and understood that she was having trouble and wanted to distance herself from him.
But in the conscience of heaven and earth, Li Guifang really loved Hua Cui as her own daughter. She wanted Hua Cui to learn to cook, not because she was targeting her or because she wanted to be lazy.
Li Guifang went to work in the fields in the morning and went home to cook at noon. Since she would be left with more work in the fields after cooking, she would be more comfortable cooking at home.
Zhao Qiming also knows this truth well, "Cui Cui, how could mother not like you? You please her so much, have you forgotten the time when you were good with her? My mother treats you better than she treats me."
Hua Cui pursed her lips and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by him gently before she opened her mouth. Zhao Qiming comforted her gently and patiently: "I will go and make it clear to my mother and sister-in-law. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to me. I will always stand by you." As long as I am here, you will not be wronged.”
Huacui thought for a moment and nodded.
"I'm only nice to you because I want to be nice to you. You don't need to do anything for me to be nice to you. It's her business to do what the sister-in-law can do. You are not the sister-in-law."
The strange thing is that Zhao Qiming spoke these words in a calm and calm manner, with a calm expression and no panic at all.
These were the truest thoughts in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Huacui did not need to do laundry and cooking. He could do all these trivial matters by himself.
Hua Cui nodded and said "Oh". Zhao Qiming made it so clear and clear that he didn't give her any room to express herself.
She held her chin and said calmly: "I know, I know, hurry up and eat. After eating, we will go cut the pig grass."
Zhao Qiming said "Okay", but he never let go of the matter in his heart. He could completely understand what his sister-in-law did. To put it bluntly, it was human nature. He thought that she was also the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and she was still pregnant. Why did Hua Cui You can eat rice at home without doing anything.
But mother, Zhao Qiming wondered why his mother suddenly thought like this. He always felt that there was something strange in it. Someone had said something in her ear.
Zhao Qiming secretly kept this in mind and prepared to find out what happened.
After the two of them finished eating, they went to cut pig grass. Hua Cui took Zhao Qiming's wrist and was in a good mood.
Zhao Qiming was worried that she would feel bad, so he was obedient to her along the way and listened to everything she said.
But he obviously didn't know Huacui well enough. Why should she remember such a trivial matter for so long? Hua Cui's temper has always come and gone quickly, and she is very heartless.
*
Zhao Qiming's presence in the village was not high. He was neither talkative nor pushy. The most discussed period was because Hua Cui chose to marry him.
Li Guifang suddenly asked Huacui to "make progress", which is really suspicious. Zhao Qiming is not good at words and does not like to chat with others, but this does not mean that he is mute or deaf.
He inquired secretly and found something was wrong.
Huacui's reputation in the village is very bad, how bad is it? Except for those who are familiar with her, the rest of the people have negative opinions about her.
The most common thing is that she only has a good skin, and is indifferent to the four limbs and the five grains. Marrying such a person back home will ruin the family's luck.
In addition, he also said that she looked like a restless woman. She was still hooking up with other men even though she was married. Any man who married her would be in trouble for his family!
"Third brother, don't be angry about the rumors. They are all rumors! We all know that my sister-in-law is not that kind of person." Wang Shuli recounted to Zhao Qiming everything he had heard in the past few days, and then looked at his face that darkened.
"I know it is."
But the anger was still boiling in his chest. For the first time, Zhao Qiming hated the environment he had lived in for so many years. The superstitious and ignorant villagers always talked about all kinds of rumors, which could easily destroy a person.
Those who spread rumors were also smart and never mentioned it in front of Huacui and the Zhao family. If Zhao Qiming hadn't intentionally inquired this time, he might have been kept in the dark.
But there were so many rumors, it was inevitable that a few words would reach Li Guifang's ears. How could Li Guifang not know the urine of those who gossiped? Maybe they didn't care about the truth at all, and explanations were useless.
What's more, those rumors were not all false. They were mixed true and false, and they were even more popular. Li Guifang was anxious to urge Huacui to make progress, and at least wash away the dirty water on her body, so as to stop being talked about.
Wang Shuli scratched his head and asked again: "Third brother, did my sister-in-law have an enmity with someone?" So now she is being "retaliated".
These rumors were strange and full of malice. Wang Shuli was also biased against Huacui at first, but only after contacting her did he realize that she was not that kind of person.
Regarding Huacui, Zhao Qiming could not make a judgment easily. His face was cold and he didn't say much. He just thanked Wang Shuli for telling him this.
"Hey, it should be, it should be, third brother, you have to ask your sister-in-law to pay more attention."
"I know, I will."
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go back first."
The rumors spread like this, and there must be someone behind it. Zhao Qiming was thinking about who would become enemies with Huacui on the way to pick up Huacui. The more he thought about it, the more serious his expression became, and it was developing in a dark and cold direction.
Zhao Qiming's facial features were not soft, and when he grimaced, he felt aloof and unfriendly to strangers.
Hua Cui was not afraid of this. She took the initiative to hold his hand and shook it: "What's wrong? Who is bullying you? Tell me and it will make me happy."
Zhao Qiming automatically ignored her last sentence and told her the rumor.
"They can talk if they like. The mouth is on them and I can't control it. I can't pull out his tongue to stop him from talking." Hua Cui has a good attitude, so she doesn't care.
If their purpose in spreading the rumor was to make her feel uncomfortable, then their wishful thinking would definitely fail. "Okay." Zhao Qiming said abruptly.
Huacui: "?"
Zhao Qiming tightened his grip on Hua Cui unconsciously. His forearm muscles bulged slightly, but the strength was still within the range that would not make Hua Cui feel uncomfortable.
He said seriously every word: "Pull out his tongue."
Hua Cui suddenly realized that she might not understand Zhao Qiming. She always thought smugly that Zhao Qiming didn't understand her, but she didn't realize that she didn't understand Zhao Qiming even less.
"Brother Xiao Ming?" Hua Cui called him softly.
Zhao Qiming lowered his eyes slightly, with no strange expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you? If you don't like it, I won't say that again in the future."
You won’t say it anymore, but you will still do what you need to do? Hua Cui wanted to ask him this question, so she took a deep breath. Zhao Qiming's sudden strength gave her more headaches than the rumors.
Hua Cui shook her head, pretending to be innocent and lively: "Brother Xiao Ming, this is a society ruled by law. Please stop your dangerous thoughts, that kind of bad guy, we can just find him and beat him up."
Zhao Qiming responded softly without comment.
After returning home, I didn't know what Zhao Qiming said to Li Guifang. As expected, she didn't mention Huacui doing housework again, but showed the same gloomy expression as Zhao Qiming.
He looked like he wanted to kill the person who spread the rumors with a knife.
Hua Cui becomes weak when she is strong, and becomes strong when she is weak, which is called Wo Li Heng. Although she is the one who is "wronged", she still keeps her head down while eating with an inexplicable guilty conscience.
However, her silence made Li Guifang feel even more guilty. How could she complain and blame Hua Cui? Someone was clearly deliberately spreading rumors to cause trouble!
This child was always lively and talkative, chirping like a little sparrow, which was usually annoying. Now that she stopped talking, Li Guifang felt like there was something missing in her heart.
The shame of her elders made Li Guifang embarrassed to apologize to her juniors. She had knots in her heart, causing her to toss and turn at night and unable to sleep well. Unexpectedly, Hua Cui also had nightmares tonight.
In her dream, she was admitted to college and happily printed out several large boxes of admission notices, handing them out to everyone she met. When she finally sent them to Zhao Qiming, she filed for divorce.
"Goodbye, Brother Xiao Ming. I am going on a long voyage tonight. Please don't worry about me. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to provide me with travel expenses."
Hua Cui still clearly remembers what she said in her dream.
Zhao Qiming replied "Okay", but when Huacui turned around, he knocked her unconscious with a stick, tore up her admission notice, and then said with a grin that he would pull out her tongue so that she would never be able to pick up a pen and write. I won't leave him to go to college.
Hua Cui didn't understand the logic of this dream, but it didn't stop her from being frightened and waking up with cold sweat on her forehead.
There were stars outside the window, and under the moonlight, Hua Cui glanced at the watch on her bedside. It was past one in the morning, and she was woken up, but Zhao Qiming was still sleeping.
The more Huacui thought about it, the angrier she became, and she slapped him awake several times.
"Zhao Qiming! Why do you still have the nerve to sleep!"
