Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Liu Xiangju pulled down the blue scarf on her head, fearing that Chen Yan in front of her would turn around and discover him.

She didn't expect to meet Chen Yan, the educated youth son-in-law of the Qin family, in the city today.

Liu Xiangju married to Zhangzitou from Dongdaochuan Production Brigade. However, in the third year after her marriage, her husband Hao Laosan got diabetes insipidus and suffocated to death from drinking too much water.

Leaving her a widow.

A young widow is bound to be the subject of gossip in the village.

But Liu Xiangju was more aggressive. Once, when her husband was showing a movie, someone touched her chest in the dark, leaving a black hand mark.

This is a hornet's nest!

Liu Xiangju went straight to the brigade and made a scene, blocking the door of the brigade office.

She said that if this person was not found, she would go to the commune to complain, saying that the entire Zhangzitou Production Brigade bullied her, a young widow.

These days, the reputation of a village is still very important.

If this matter were to be exposed, the reputation of the Zhangzitou Brigade would be ruined. It would be difficult for young men in the village to find wives, and girls would not be able to get married.

As the team leader, Qin Guisheng naturally could not sit idly by, so he called together the members to find a solution.

But no one will admit this!

After all, he touched a young widow. If this gets out, will he still be able to live as a human being?

At this time, Liu Xiangju was fed up and asked Qin Guisheng, the team leader, to give an explanation.

Qin Guisheng was really helpless, so he thought that when the grain was distributed at the end of the year, he would give Liu Xiangju a little more and that would be the end of the matter.

Originally Liu Xiangju agreed, but at the end of the year, she actually said that she wanted all fine grains and no coarse grains!

Now the members of Zhangzitou are not happy about this!

It's good enough that we compensate you, and everyone has tolerated it for the sake of the village's reputation.

But now you want all fine grains, do you want us to survive?

You have to know that everyone in a village works hard all year round but actually doesn't get much fine grain, especially since Zhangzitou is a small mountain village in the northwest. Forget about rice, and because of the terrain, not much wheat can be grown.

Most of the time when I want to eat some white flour and rice, except for a little wheat produced by myself, everything else is mixed.

And there is only so much food in a brigade. If you, Liu Xiangju, want all fine grains, you will have to squeeze out of other people's rations!

After Liu Xiangju did this, the whole father-in-law was furious!

Having offended everyone, Liu Xiangju did not dare to make a fuss. However, after she got her grain back home, she felt a little angry no matter how she thought about it.

She didn't dare to offend anyone in the whole village, so she chose Qin Guisheng, the captain of the production team!

That night, he rushed into Qin Guisheng's house and sat on the kang and refused to leave.

It just so happened that Qin Guisheng was not at home as he had gone to attend a meeting at the commune.

Liu Xiangju couldn't find Qin Guisheng, and Qin Yurou happened to have gone home, so she started saying things like Qin Guisheng gave birth to a shameless daughter who married an educated youth from the city. It was as ugly as it could be!

Qin Yurou was so angry that she cried for a long time, and was seen by her two brothers who had just returned from work.

Qin Yurou, the little sister, has always been the apple of their family’s eye. When the two brothers saw someone bullying their sister, they didn’t care about anything else and just went up to hold Liu Xiangju down and beat her up!

When Qin Guisheng came back, Liu Xiangju had been beaten black and blue.

The matter became a big deal and was finally reported to the commune. The Qin family paid some money and grain as compensation, and the matter was left unresolved.

But Liu Xiangju's reputation in the village was ruined!

She herself hated the Qin family!

But Qin Guisheng was the captain of the production team, and although she felt resentful, she could do nothing about him.

Not to mention, the Qin family has two young men, and Liu Xiangju was held down and beaten by those two guys!

They all have psychological trauma! That was a real fight!

Unable to make trouble, Liu Xiangju had other ways, which was to often make up stories about the Qin family in the village.

It can be said that Chen Yan does not have a very good reputation in the village, and Liu Xiangju is the one who talks nonsense in many places.

Now, seeing Chen Yan, the son-in-law of the Qin family, actually having dinner with another woman in the county town, and even going to the movie place.

She was instantly so happy!

Finally, we got hold of the Qin family's evidence!

This time when she goes back, she will make sure everyone in the village knows that Qin family's son-in-law Chen Zhiqing is not a good guy and is having an affair in the county town!

As for Han Meimei who is with Chen Yan, she is almost forty years old. The possibility that the two of them are together is simply impossible has been automatically filtered out in Liu Xiangju's mind.

On the other hand, after Chen Yan and Han Meimei finished their meal and returned to the cinema, he told Han Meimei some things, such as how to sell popcorn.

Finally, after the movie started, Han Meimei went in to watch it in person, and started selling products following Chen Yan's model. Only then did Chen Yan breathe a sigh of relief!

Then the two agreed that Chen Yan would deliver popcorn every morning and sell it himself during the morning session, and give the afternoon session to Han Meimei. When Chen Yan came the next day, Han Meimei would give the money to Chen Yan.

"Then I'll leave this to you, Sister Han!" After the popcorn was sold out in the afternoon, seeing that Han Meimei had almost learned it and it was getting late, Chen Yan wanted to go back.

"Don't worry, this isn't that difficult! The main thing is that you, Chen Zhiqing, have the ability to make popcorn!"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "See you tomorrow! I'll be going back today!"

Then he drove the leather cart, shouting at the mule, and hurried towards Zhangzitou.

……

In the evening, people who had been busy all day gathered together in groups of three or four. After having their work points recorded by the scorekeeper, they went home!

At this time, almost everyone in the village is here.

Qin Yurou was thinking about Chen Yan, so after asking the scorer to record her work points, she picked up her hoe and went home.

But this time!

There were bursts of weird voices coming from the distance.

"Isn't that Qin Yurou? Stop talking, what if someone hears it?"

"You heard it! His man did such a shameless thing, and he can't be told about it?"

"That's right! I never expected that Chen Zhiqing, who looks like a decent person, would be an adulterer."

A group of old women stood on the edge of the field, resting and muttering to themselves.

The sound reached Qin Yurou's ears intermittently.

Her expression suddenly turned ugly.

He walked over and said, "What are you guys talking about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Those women didn't expect that Qin Yurou had heard what they were talking about, and they were so embarrassed that they couldn't speak.

After all, we are from the same village, we meet each other every day, so it’s okay if we talk about each other behind their backs.

It's so embarrassing to be caught!

But Liu Xiangju in the crowd stood up and said in a sarcastic tone, "Are you afraid of others hearing what you did? Your man is having an affair in the county town! You are a stupid girl and you are still shouting here! What are you shouting for? You can't even keep an eye on your own man. Tsk tsk, the Qin family is really shameful!"

Liu Xiangju's voice is particularly loud!

All of a sudden, everyone in the village heard it!

The Qin family's son-in-law, the one called Chen Zhiqing, is having an affair in the county town!

I was bumped into by Liu Xiangju!

This piece of news instantly became a hot topic today, with people of all ages talking about it!

Even some dolls wearing open-crotch pants were choreographed to sing!

"Chen Zhiqing, you are shameless, having an affair in the county town..."

"The Qin family is a disgrace to the elders, the production team leader is a fool..."
