Chapter 520: The Big Melon in Fangjia Village
Chapter 520: The Big Melon in Fangjia Village
Qiaozhen thought that the son of her next-door neighbor was simply not a man!
His wife was going back to her parents' home and urged him to buy gifts, but the man was unwilling to do so and even told his wife that it was a waste of money to go back to her parents' home.
Because of this, the neighbor's son and daughter-in-law had a conflict. The daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home and has not returned for several days.
Qiaozhen smiled and said sincerely, "Yunxi, Jianchuan, congratulations to you. We knew about Jianchuan's high school admission a long time ago, but we also knew you were not at home, so I did not go."
"You didn't even send me a message when you came back. If I knew, I would definitely bring Fang Zheng to look for you."
Gu Yunxi explained with a smile: "We just came back yesterday and walked around the village. This morning, Ah Chuan and I went to the academy to visit the dean, and we came to see you now."
"By the way, Qiaozhen, our village will hold a banquet tomorrow to wish Ah Chuan a happy high school entrance exam. You, Fang Zheng, and your father-in-law should all come, so it will be lively and exciting."
Qiaozhen nodded hurriedly when she heard this: "Oh, this is a big happy event, I will definitely go, I will go to help early."
Fang Zheng's father, who was sitting nearby, lit up when he heard that he could attend the banquet.
It's not just because the banquet includes meat and wine, but also because it is a celebration banquet for the third place winner in the imperial examination.
Not everyone can go there. Fang Zheng's father felt like his back had straightened a lot. To be honest, it was all thanks to his daughter-in-law Qiaozhen.
What a good daughter-in-law!
After sitting in the yard and talking for a while, Qiaozhen suddenly pulled Gu Yunxi into the house and whispered to her.
"Yunxi, I, I'm pregnant!" Qiaozhen stroked her belly and smiled tenderly.
When Gu Yunxi heard this, he immediately realized that Qiaozhen was saying that she was pregnant!
"Oh, this is a big happy event. How long has it been? Have you told Fang Zheng and the others? Have you told your mother?"
There is a custom in the village that when the pregnancy is early, you cannot tell too many people about it, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the baby safe.
The last time she went to the capital, Qiaozhen's belly was still not moving, and now it seems that she is still in early pregnancy.
Qiaozhen smiled and said, "I estimate it will take about a month."
"I really didn't expect that I would be pregnant after being married for such a short time."
She was not mentally ready to become a mother yet.
Gu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this, and recalled that she was also nervous when she was pregnant before.
But as the baby in her belly grew bigger day by day, she slowly accepted her identity as a mother.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yunxi smiled and comforted Qiaozhen: "The birth of the child is fate, and it's a good thing."
"Look at my three big fat boys. They are so cute. Your and Fang Zheng's children must be very cute too."
Qiaozhen stroked her flat belly, her whole body emitting the soft light of maternal love.
"By the way, Yunxi, something big happened in our village recently."
Gu Yunxi was quite curious. What kind of thing could make Qiaozhen, who usually didn't gossip, say it was a big deal?
Qiaozhen said, "There is a man named Fang Gang in our village. I heard that he was having an affair with someone's wife. Now he has been caught by her husband and is going to be drowned in a pond!"
"Fang Gang?" Gu Yunxi always felt that this name seemed familiar, as if he had seen or heard it somewhere.
"There's something even more outrageous. I heard that Fang Gang and his wife had a son, and the child is almost twenty years old!"
"It's really incredible. She helped Fang Gang raise his son for nearly 20 years, only to discover their affair. Tsk tsk, who wouldn't be angry?"
Fang Gang is from their village and even more so a member of the Fang clan. Now that such an outrageous thing has happened, the other party has specially come to invite the Fang clan leader and elders to execute Fang Gang.
When all the Fang clan members in the village heard about this, they couldn't help but spit on Fang Gang. They felt that Fang Gang had ruined the entire family's reputation. When they went out into the world, they were too embarrassed to say that their surname was Fang.
Gu Yunxi hissed and said in surprise: "This is really outrageous, but Fang Gang is really disgusting. He stole someone else's wife and gave birth to a son, and asked others to help raise him."
"No one can stand this kind of thing."
For some reason, Gu Yunxi suddenly thought of Chen Ziming again, and felt that Fang Gang's story was very similar to that of Chen Ziming's biological father!
Wait, Chen Ziming’s biological father seems to be also called Fang Gang???
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Gu Yunxi asked, "Qiaozhen, do you know whose daughter-in-law Fang Gang stole?"
Qiaozhen nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I know that. She is the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family."
"I heard..." Qiaozhen looked out the window and lowered her voice, "It was the Chen family in town."
It’s true, Chen Ziming’s biological father is Fang Gang from Fangjia Village!
Gu Yunxi just felt that life was too ridiculous. After all the twists and turns, Chen Ziming was actually from Fangjia Village.
Qiaozhen couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, compared with this matter, the matter with your stepmother is nothing to mention."
Stepmother? Fang? Gu Yunxi hadn't heard the term stepmother for a long time, and didn't care whether Fang was dead or alive.
But I heard before that Fang’s son Yunyang died and she became insane.
"Huh? Is the Fang family still in the village?" Gu Yunxi asked casually.
Qiaozhen shook her head: "How could she still stay in the village? She ran off with some strange man a long time ago."
"You know about Fang's sister-in-law's incident, right? Her brother was poisoned by her sister-in-law, and she found out. Her sister-in-law was executed, and Fang returned from Shen Jianbai's house."
"I don't know if she was truly repentant, but she hired a doctor and took good care of her brother. She didn't disappear until her brother recovered."
After listening to this, Gu Yunxi was just slightly stunned and did not comment further.
Fang had brought pain to the original owner, and she would never be able to forgive him in this lifetime.
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's go out." Qiaozhen stood up and took Gu Yunxi's hand.
Gu Yunxi smiled and suddenly felt like she was back in her childhood. When she played with her sisters, they always liked to do this, arm in arm.
When I came out of the house, I saw Lu Jianchuan chatting enthusiastically with Fang Zheng. When he saw Gu Yunxi come out, he smiled at her.
They sat in the yard and chatted for a while before Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan said goodbye and left.
Qiaozhen originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but Gu Yunxi said that only Old Man Lu was at home, so Qiaozhen couldn't force them to stay.
"Yunxi, I don't know when we will meet again in the future. If there is a chance in the future, Fang Zheng and I will go to Beijing to find you."
Gu Yunxi nodded with a smile, knowing that Qiaozhen was reluctant to leave her home, which was why she had not agreed to go to the capital with her before. It was understandable when she thought about it.
Qiaozhen and her family watched the carriage leave and disappear before turning back to the house.
