395 A day of chaos(1/2)
Qin Jingru's family is now a celebrity family in Qinhuang Village.
The way their family lives and how much they spend on food and clothing are the subjects of heated discussion in the eyes of the villagers.
"Yes! Although we have never been to Jingru's house, we can clearly see the life of Jingru's parents, Qin Shigui!"
"I know this best! My family lives next door to Shigui's family, and you can smell the smell of meat in their house almost every day! It's really tempting!"
"Yes, my mother's family is living so well, let alone Jingru's family!"
"Shigui's life is so good. He is so lucky to have raised such a filial daughter!"
Qin Shiren originally wanted the villagers to talk about Qin Jingru's family's good life, and then brought out that she was living a good life but did not help his own family or Qin Huairu. However, the villagers had no such idea at all.
Instead, they all praised Qin Jingru's filial piety, which made Qin Shiren feel even more uncomfortable.
"I think people shouldn't be too selfish! You can't just live a good life for your own family. If you have the ability, you should also help your fellow villagers, relatives and friends!" Qin Shiren couldn't help but started talking to himself.
"If I had so much money, then I would definitely have to donate some to the village to improve the living standards of the villagers! How can my family only eat meat every day?"
Qin Shiren continued.
But when the villagers sitting and chatting nearby heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion. After understanding what Qin Shiren meant, they became even more understanding.
They just said that Qin Shiren had a strong self-esteem and was never willing to say that his brother Qin Shigui was better than him. Why did he suddenly bring up the topic today?
It turns out that this is what he wanted to say!
"Shiren, you can't say this! Even if someone from a noble family has a good life, it's because their daughter is capable and married a good man! She has a good son-in-law from a wealthy family! There's nothing we are unhappy about!"
"Yes, we look envious when people eat meat, fish and chicken, so how can we sincerely want others to share some of it with us? It's a bit too shameless to think like this, hahaha!"
"I don't have a good daughter. Otherwise, I have to find a good in-law for him! Maybe he can also enjoy the blessings!"
"Shiren, you and Shigui are brothers. How can you think so?"
Qin Shiren felt a little embarrassed when he heard the villagers' words.
He never expected that these people would say this without being provoked by him at all.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "This, I just said it casually, just kidding."
The woman on the side continued: "Speaking of which, Shiren, your daughter is not bad looking. In our village, apart from Jingru, Huairu is the most beautiful! She is also famous for being a beautiful girl!"
"Why are you looking for a son-in-law? There is such a big difference. It seems that Huairu's son-in-law has never come to see you two, right? Your mother-in-law came during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and she actually made a big fuss!"
"This husband's family found him, it really makes me more angry!"
As soon as the woman said this, the other villagers immediately started a heated discussion.
They were all talking about how Jia and Zhang came to their house during the Mid-Autumn Festival and had a quarrel with them.
Qin Shiren's face became increasingly ugly as he listened.
Of course he didn't want to mention this embarrassing thing again.
Qin Shiren coughed twice and said, "Let's not talk about the past and let's change the topic!"
"You don't know, Jingru and our Huairu are cousins, and now they are married to the same family. Logically speaking, these two sisters should be closer than others and live a good life.
, you should also give more help to those who are having a bad life, right?"
After hearing this, the villagers all understood what Qin Shiren meant. After talking for a long time, it became more and more like this!
‘People who are doing well should help those who are not doing well’?
Doesn't this mean that Qin Jingru should help his family Qin Huairu more!
This Qin Shiren is really calculating!
Seeing that the villagers did not answer his words, Qin Shiren had to continue: "The two sisters were supposed to get along well, but Jingru is now living a better life, but she doesn't pay attention to us Huairu at all. She eats meat every day, but refuses to help.
When Huairu came to our house, Huairu asked her to borrow some money, but she refused and said that her man wouldn't let her borrow it. Tell me, this is too much, isn't it? "
After Qin Shiren finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the villagers on the side, hoping that they would all say bad things about Qin Jingru who forgot his roots and did not care about his relatives.
After waiting for a while, the villagers finally started to talk.
Qin Shiren quickly concentrated his attention to listen, but when he heard what they said, Qin Shiren was stunned.
"Shiren, you can't say that!"
"As the saying goes, you should obey your father at home and your husband when you get married. When Jingru gets married, she must listen to her man!"
"Her man's hard-earned money can be lent to whomever he wants or who he doesn't want to lend it to. This is also his freedom, right?"
"Yeah, just because someone has money, they don't have to lend it to you or help Huairu, right? This is also a matter for everyone based on their abilities!"
"As for why Jingru's son-in-law is unwilling to support the Huairu family, only they themselves know the reason!"
"So, it's best for relatives not to lend money to each other. It's too easy to create discord! The two cousins, Huairu is not happy just because Jingru didn't lend money to Huairu. Isn't this a conflict?
Well!"
"Yes! If you want to live a good life, you should have your own abilities. Just relying on others for help is not like a bottomless pit! You will never turn around!"
"exactly!"
The villagers' discussion reached the ears of Qin Shiren, Qin's father. The more Qin Shiren listened, the uglier his face became.
He originally wanted to say bad things about Qin Jingru for not helping his relatives, so that the villagers would find fault with Qin Jingru and ruin Qin Jingru's reputation. However, he never expected that it would be like this.
When the villagers heard what they described, they did not feel that it was Qin Jingru's fault at all. Instead, they all spoke up for Qin Jingru and stood up for Qin Jingru. They also said that Qin Huairu's family was a bottomless pit and that they did not choose a good son-in-law.
Qin Shiren originally had more bad things to say about Qin Jingru, but he couldn't say any more.
Listening to everyone's chatter, Qin Shiren couldn't sit down anymore, stood up in a hurry, said that there was something going on at home, and left quickly.
Seeing Qin Shiren leaving, the villagers started to talk freely.
"Hmph! I thought what Qin Shiren was going to say? After talking for a long time, it turned out that Shigui didn't help him, and Jingru didn't help his daughter Huairu. How could he be so embarrassed!"
"That's right! Speaking of which, Jingru's son-in-law was originally in love with Huairu. Isn't it because the father and daughter disliked poverty and loved wealth, so they broke up with Zou He and married into the Jia family~"
"That's right! Now that I'm not living well, and I'm complaining that Jingru doesn't help her, how can I open my mouth!"
"You're right! Qin Shiren keeps saying that Jingru doesn't care about relatives, is selfish, and doesn't help Huairu anymore. Why not say that Huairu's family is in such a bad life, and lending her money is simply a bottomless pit.
!Lending the money to her is like throwing it away! Who is willing to do it? I don’t want to lend it to me!"
"Also, Jingru often comes back to her parents' house. Every time she comes, she brings gifts in big and small packages. We are playing at the entrance of the village. When Jingru comes back, she will also give us candy and other things. How generous!
My children eat a lot of Jingru’s candies!”
"That's right! Candies are not cheap! From this point of view, Jingru is not a selfish person, nor is she a stingy person!"
"You still want to trick us into saying bad things about the Shigui family and Jingru! We are not that stupid!"
Several village women said and laughed.
Although the people in the village are simple and not so crooked, they are not stupid. Qin Shiren's crooked thoughts will naturally not escape their eyes.
On the empty country road, Qin Huairu walked slowly back to the city with a basket on her shoulders, a small dumpling in one hand, and a locust flower in the other. With the stick stalk behind her, she walked slowly.
Banggeng kicked the dirt on the road irritably and complained: "Didn't you say that as long as I call grandma and grandpa, they can let me have enough to eat? But what happens now? It's useless!"
"Didn't he just eat one of their fish? And he kept making a fuss and shouting! They are a stingy family! They're going to die!"
"I never want to come here again!"
"I'm still hungry!"
After hearing this, Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Your uncle and aunt have really gone too far. It's really embarrassing for you to kiss your nephew and eat a fish, and to make such a fuss!"
Qin Huairu complained in her mouth and in her heart that her brother and sister-in-law were heartless and should not have made such a fuss over a fish, but she did not reflect on the reason at all.
If her son Bangge hadn't eaten her sister-in-law's fish without saying a word and kept complaining, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"Banggan, didn't you eat fish just now? Why are you still hungry?"
Banggeng said impatiently: "How big of a fish is that? It's not enough for me to stuff between my teeth! It has been digested long ago!"
After hearing this, Qin Huairu sighed and continued walking.
Qin Huairu was also in a very low mood.
This time I returned to my parents' house and failed to achieve either of the two things.
The first is to take advantage of others, and the second is to ruin Qin Jingru’s reputation.
The first thing was that Banggeng was kicked out because he ate fish secretly and he didn't even get a chance to eat. The second thing was that he said bad things about Qin Jingru and ruined her reputation in her family. As a result, after just a few words,
A quarrel broke out, and the matter fell through.
Qin Huairu's favorite thing to do when she was at her parents' house was to sit under the big tree at the entrance of the village and talk with the women about family affairs and other people's gossip.
But now, the last thing Qin Huairu wants to face is the group of people at the entrance of the village.
She didn't need to think about it to know that she must be the one being talked about by that group of people now.
However, she was powerless to change this situation.
Qin Huairu thought about what happened when she came back from the last Mid-Autumn Festival.
I came back with my mother-in-law Jia Zhang and her three children. It happened that Qin Jingru, Zou and her family also came back that day.
