Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Is this too lodramatic? Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Is this too lodramatic? Little sister-in-law took a sip of water and responded to Yun Xiaoxiao’s comnt, “She may have jumped into the river and got saved. Now the Li Family has beco a laughingstock in the production brigade. You don’t know, that widow’s family went straight to the Li’s to demand money when they didn’t pay up on ti, but where would the Li’s get the money? If they had it, they wouldn’t have had to pressure soone like Li Cuixia to marry off with such huge demands.”
Little sister-in-law took a breath and continued on about the Li family’s affairs, “Get this, Li Laosan backed the widow’s family in making a scene, smashing things up at the Li’s and threatening that if they couldn’t co up with the money, they would have the widow arrested and create a record, which ans her kids couldn’t go to school without feeling ashad. The widow’s relatives were furious, and in the end, they accepted 100 cents and kicked the widow out. Then the widow just packed her things and moved into the Li’s.”
Yun Xiaoxiao listened with all seriousness.
Isn’t this just too lodramatic?
“What about Li Laosan’s previous daughter-in-law?”
Little sister-in-law knew this one, “I know, after Li Cuixia’s elder brother kicked up a fuss with that widow scene, she went back to her parents’ ho. I heard she’s already remarried.”
Wasn’t that a bit too quick?
It seems like these days, without mobile phones or any entertainnt, everyone goes to bed early and gets up early. Gossip changes as you talk about it.
“This Li Cuixia is Cao Dali’s partner; you probably haven’t t her yet.”
Cao Dali’s partner?
“I really haven’t seen her, but I heard from my Da Bao’s father that Cao Dali was planning to get married this winter?”
“Winter’s a ti when we’re all free; most weddings happen in winter.”
“The production brigade’s won’s director is going to marry off her daughter in a few days, and they will probably invite your family to the wedding banquet.”
Little sister-in-law certainly knew this won’s director; she was one of their Zhao family’s own daughters-in-law.
“It’s getting late; I should head back now.”
“Sister-in-law, take these for your kid to eat.” Yun Xiaoxiao handed two White Rabbit milk candies to little sister-in-law.
“Then I thank you on behalf of my kid.”
After seeing the guest off, Yun Xiaoxiao mulled over what she had heard.
Mrs. Zhao ca over.
“Da Bao’s mother, in three days, your aunt is marrying off her daughter; bring Da Bao and Xiao Bao to enjoy the wedding feast.”
So she really was going to the wedding banquet?
“Mother, what gift should I prepare?”
A four-piece set?
Or gold jewelry?
Tis probably weren’t like that then.
Mrs. Zhao thought about Da Bao’s mother, who rarely attended banquets and might not know how much money to give, “Just give 50 cents as a cash gift.”
“I don’t need to bring anything else?”
Mrs. Zhao gave her a look, “What else do you want to give?”
“Before it was always Da Bao’s father who gave the gifts. Now, with him not at ho, I don’t know what to give or how much to give.”
Seeing Laosan’s wife needing to explain, Mrs. Zhao pictured Laosan’s wife at the banquet, acting all ek and mild, probably just holding her bowl and looking at her empty plate as she eats.
Nibbling politely and demurely.
“Just go through the motions when you’re there; I’ll head back now.”
After sending Mrs. Zhao off, Xiao Bao ca back crying.
“Mommy, Mommy…”
Yun Xiaoxiao was startled and looked toward them, especially Xiao Bao, who seed to have regained his natural childlike deanor from when she first t him.
“What’s the matter?”
“Auntie, Xiao Shu broke the toy that Xiao Bao and the others had brought out.”
A toy?
What kind of toy?
“Mommy, it’s a Rubik’s Cube. Xiao Bao brought it out to play, and when Xiao Shu saw us playing without him, he ran over, snatched it, and as he ran away, he dropped it on the ground, and it broke just like this.”
