The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 108 The world is not peaceful now

Xiao Baoer rode her bicycle to her mother's home. Her father and brothers had gone to help the village with post-disaster reconstruction, while her mother and sisters-in-law were at home.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng came here on foot before because the road was difficult to walk on due to rain. This time they came back on bicycles. As soon as they entered the village, they were surrounded by a lot of people. There was not even a single bicycle in the entire village.

"Daughter of the Xiao family, this is the bicycle your husband bought, right?" The one who spoke was a famous gossip in the village. There was nothing she didn't spread everywhere in the village. She even spread the details of what happened between a couple in bed.

When Xiao Baoer heard this, she really wanted to roll her eyes. What kind of thinking is this? Why does a man have to buy any valuable item in the house? Do women not trust other women's abilities?

However, Xiao Baoer was too lazy to argue here and didn't want to talk so much with such a person, so she had to raise her bright smile and show a standard smile, "Yes, auntie, my husband doesn't think it's inconvenient for me to go to town and go back to my parents' home, so he gritted his teeth and spent all the family savings to buy a bicycle."

This aunt has another characteristic, which is that you can't live better than her, otherwise she will be in trouble.

When she heard Xiao Baoer say that the family's money had been spent, and she had heard a long time ago that Xiao's son-in-law had retired from the army and had no job and had to go home to work, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.

Xiao Baoer: Auntie, it seems you haven’t heard anything about the good things happening in my family.

Auntie: What good things can happen to your husband now that he has retired from the army? Don't lie to me.

Xiao Baoer: You didn't listen at all to my family's plan to build a brick house, and you didn't mention a word about me making money by translating books.

Auntie: I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it, don’t say it…

The aunt calmed down and pretended to comfort Xiao Baoer, "Xiao's daughter, your husband didn't want to retire from the army, so you should not divorce him. Don't let our village be known as snobbish, or it will affect the marriages of the girls in our village."

Xiao Baoer understood now. They saw her coming from afar. These aunts were discussing whether Shen Zhensheng would get divorced after he retired from the army.

Ha! It seems that the heavy rain did not collapse the houses of these aunties, otherwise why would they talk here without worrying about getting their mouths rotten.

Xiao Baoer didn't get angry but laughed instead, and the laughing aunt and the aunts who were watching made their hair stand on end.

"Oh, auntie, you still know the phrase 'hate the poor and love the rich'. You were very ruthless when you sold your five daughters to the other party and asked for the price. I was shocked for your son-in-law's family when I saw it."

The aunts who were watching looked at each other, fearing that if they were still there, Xiao Baoer's fire would burn them.

"You stupid girl, you have no respect for your parents. Didn't your parents teach you to ask questions when talking to your elders? You are really a jerk who was born by your parents but not raised by them."

I don’t know if the original owner would tolerate this because this is her mother’s home, but Xiao Baoer now will never, ever tolerate it!!

Xiao Baoer went up and slapped the auntie in the face. "I'm giving you face by calling you auntie, but you're still taking advantage of your age and saying who has parents who give birth to them but don't? Did your parents teach you to talk like that? If your parents didn't teach you, I, your auntie, will teach you."

The aunt was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to argue with Xiao Baoer anymore. Xiao Baoer took another step towards the aunt and said in a cold and scary tone, "If you keep nagging me in the future, I won't just give you a slap in the face. Keep your mouth shut."

The aunt was frightened away by Xiao Baoer, and the others also ran away, fearing that Xiao Baoer's fire was aimed at them. Xiao Baoer deliberately shouted from behind, "Aunts, don't leave. I haven't heard you finish my story about divorcing my husband because he retired from the army. Let's continue chatting."

Oh my god, this girl from the Xiao family was just willful and capricious before, why is she so scary now? The key point is that this time it was this group of people who spoke ill of her first and then she was caught. Isn't she just running away and waiting to be beaten?

This kind of person is very conscious of his own faults. If he is caught talking about other people's faults, he will be beaten, but he just can't control his mouth and is very naughty.

Xiao Baoer continued riding his bike to his home, walked to the door, pushed the bike into the yard, and shouted "Mom".

Xiao's mother and four sisters-in-law came out of the house. When they saw the bicycle Xiao Baoer was pushing, the four sisters-in-law walked over to take a closer look.

"Girl, your father and your brother came back and told me that you bought a bicycle, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that you and Zhensheng really bought a bicycle." On the one hand, Xiao's mother blamed her daughter for spending money indiscriminately, but on the other hand, she was happy for her daughter, which showed that her daughter was living a good life.

Xiao Baoer propped the bike in the yard and asked the sisters-in-law to look at the bicycles themselves. They could try riding them if they wanted to, but none of the four sisters-in-law rode them. It would be bad if such a precious thing got bumped by one of the younger sisters.

Xiao Baoer was talking to her mother, "Mom, this is your daughter. She bought it with her own money. Didn't I tell you before that I earned a little money translating books for others, and I saved it to buy the bicycle."

Mother Xiao tapped Xiao Baoer's forehead and scolded softly, "Little girl, you just don't know how to live. But mother is happy. My daughter knows how to live a good life. Zhensheng is a good man. You can't make trouble like before."

"Mom, I know, don't worry, I came here today for something."

Xiao Baoer had to finish talking about making clothes quickly, and also had to teach her mother and one of her sisters-in-law how to read pictures, otherwise it would take a long time to teach them every time a new product came out.

Mother Xiao called all four daughters-in-law into the house, "Your sister has something to say, let's hear what it is first."

The four daughters-in-law all sat down, and Xiao Baoer took out the fabrics and the design drawings.

"Mom, sister-in-law, this is the clothing design I drew. Someone has placed a batch of orders. I'm thinking that I don't have much to do at home, so I want to ask you and sister-in-law if you want to make clothes? I won't let you do it for free. I'll give you 5 cents for each piece of clothing. My mother-in-law and my second sister-in-law do the same."

When Xiao's mother heard about this, the first thing she thought about was not whether she could make money or not, but whether her daughter was engaging in speculation by making clothes and then selling them, and whether her daughter was safe.

The four sisters-in-law looked at Xiao's mother. They listened to Xiao's mother on all family matters, and this time was no exception. Xiao's mother never bullied her daughters-in-law and was never partial. The daughters-in-law were all convinced by her.

Xiao Baoer saw that Xiao's mother didn't say anything, and thought that she must have something to ask.

"Mom, do you have something to ask me?"

"My daughter, does this count as speculation? Are you in danger? The world is not peaceful these days." Xiao's mother asked in a low voice, fearing that someone might have ears and bring disaster to her daughter.
