Chapter 170

In the late autumn weather, it is a bit chilly in the morning and evening, but at noon the sun is very strong and it is very warm.

Just like in the village, women who do needlework from various households in this county like to get together, helping each other with work and chatting.

The content of this chat is mostly gossip about the neighbors or sharing the information they have obtained.

For example, the price of pork in this shop has been reduced, the rice shop in that shop has sufficient portions and high scales in the past two days, and the cloth village has cheap cloth heads for sale in the past few days.

Or, whose girl is married, whose boy is promising, whose family has added a new way of making a living...

In short, each communicates with each other, so that we can support and help each other when encountering problems.

This way of getting along is common and commonly used by grassroots people in counties without clan protection.

Jiang Mixia was used to these things, but after passing by, she vaguely heard the chatting content of those people.

"This is the little lady in the house who doesn't see smoke coming from the stove all day long."

"It's her. Seeing her carrying the food box, I guess she just came back from the restaurant again."

"I don't know what kind of food I bought, it smells weird."

"What, are you hungry?"

"What are you hungry for? It's not that the family can't afford meat. Let me tell you, don't be like her and waste money for nothing." A woman surnamed Niu curled her lips.

"Waste it or not, the dishes made in those restaurants outside are indeed much more delicious."

"But it's really expensive! Take this meat dish as an example, a chicken costs only a few dollars, but in a restaurant, it costs three or four times to prepare and stew it for you, let alone the vegetarian dish." , An eggplant is only two or three pennies, but when you cook it for you in a restaurant, you will be asked to pay tens of pennies for a dish, which is a scam. Things that can be done with your own hands, you have to be too lazy to die, go like this Spending money, what is it called, what is it called!" Niu shouted.

"That's right for you to say that. Old people often say that small mouths can ruin Mount Tai. If you don't care about the food, you will really ruin your family."

"Look at the young man in her family who is white and clean, and speaks softly. He seems to be someone who can't control her. It's really a crime. Such a good young man has such a prodigal wife."

Niu continued, "If I were that young man, I really couldn't bear it for a day. The man works so hard to make money. She can't be a good wife at home. She has to divorce her wife and go out."

Jiang Mixia, "..."

There are gossips everywhere.

Simply taking two steps back, Jiang Mixia stood in front of those chatting women, "Where are you chatting?"

Talking about people behind their backs, they were caught straight, and the women suddenly looked embarrassed and laughed awkwardly for a while.

The oldest one at the head laughed twice, "Just chat and gossip, so what, Mrs. Jiang is going back to have lunch, right?"

"I'm going back to have lunch, but the dish feels a little bland. I was wondering why the restaurant's cooking is so bland today. Now I understand the reason."

Seeing what Jiang Mixia said, all the women looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Why?"

"You all snatched up all the salt." Jiang Mixia left after saying these words.

Leaving those women staring at him, it wasn't until Jiang Mixia entered his yard that he came back to his senses.

"What did she mean by that?"

"Stupid, say we are in a hurry!"

"It's embarrassing to gossip behind someone's back and be listened to by the Lord..."

"What's so embarrassing, she's already so virtuous, why can't she let others say a few words?" Niu raised her neck, "If you say we're in a hurry, then she has the ability to be a virtuous lady, and others will definitely not say it! "

Seeing Niu's righteous indignation, the other women shrank their necks.

Where there are many women, there are many gossips and gossips.

They also know that talking about people behind their backs is somewhat bad, but when they get together, what else can they do besides talking about people behind their backs?
They were just commenting that Mrs. Jiang spends money without batting an eyelid and is not very good at housekeeping. As for Mrs. Niu, she speaks a bit harshly.

What to do, divorce your wife, these words are also vomited out without restraint.

When he spoke, his face was blushing and his neck was thick, as if Mrs. Jiang was spending money from her family.

The others looked at each other, exchanged eyes for a while, and then packed up their sewing baskets knowingly, "It's getting late, go back and cook quickly, the men should go home later."

Seeing that no one answered her words, Niu snorted, took his things, and strode home.

Seeing this, the remaining women got together again.

"Why is this Niu Niangzi so majestic? She looks gentle and gentle on weekdays, and she speaks in a harmonious voice. What's the matter today?"

"I don't know." Others shook their heads, "It is said that Niu Niangzi's husband is also a scholar. He is still studying at Wende Academy, and he and Jiang Niangzi's husband are classmates. It is not true that the classmates are all friends. Deep, why does Niu Niangzi look at this Jiang Niangzi like an enemy?"

"You don't know that, colleagues are friends, this classmate, if you get along well, then you have friendship, if you don't get along well..."

Still an enemy.

Maybe even more than an enemy.

They are all married women who have been married for many years and know the ways of the world. They understand this truth, and each has made up his mind in his heart that he will not talk about Mrs. Jiang's topic in front of Niu in the future.

After packing up their things, the women went home.

The smoke from the kitchens in each courtyard rose up, and the smell of rice came out faintly.

Mrs. Niu was busy working in the kitchen. Five-year-old Zhang Daya bit her finger and said while drooling, "Mom, I want to eat meat."

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat. Where can I buy meat at home?" Mrs. Niu looked at Zhang Daya, annoyed, "If you are in a hurry, go to the stove and light a fire!"

Zhang Daya pursed her mouth, trying not to cry out, took the fire stick from Niu's hand, and added firewood to the stove.

Niu looked at Zhang Daya who was resigned, and felt depressed again.

When she was pregnant, the child in her stomach was very noisy. She thought that she must be a young man when she was born, but she turned out to be a girl. Zhang Yaosheng is still talking about having no children, and her in-laws are even more displeased with her. As for not doing a good confinement at that time, she was hurt all over.

Now, on the grounds that she wanted to conceive a son sooner, she followed Zhang Yaosheng to the county town, and rented this narrow yard, barely getting away from her in-law's family who had been making things difficult for her all day.

But when he arrived in the county town, Zhang Yaosheng said that the schoolwork was heavy, the food in Wende College was cheap, and he could save some at home, so he didn't see anyone all day long.
