Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Auntie Gossips

Ge Dejun and Liu Pei munched on sweetened eggs while chatting with them and brought up Chiang Baohe.

They were not acquainted with Chiang Baohe, but they did know Chiang Songtao, since he and Chiang Songhai were brothers, and there was a certain resemblance between them.

”This morning, when we took Lin Jiang to the hospital, we ran into them with a one-eyed man. We half recognized and half guessed, thinking that it must be your older brother,” Ge Dejun said, lowering his voice because he knew that Old Chiang Family was right next door.

Only then did Chiang Songhai find out they had gone to the town hospital.

”Yes, it should be them; the one-eyed man is my eldest brother’s Second son, named Baohe.”

He couldn’t quite figure out his own feelings, he himself had just been to the town hospital yesterday, and today it was Chiang Baohe’s turn. Chiang Songhai was still a bit worried about Chiang Baohe’s injury, so he asked a few more questions. ”Dejun, did you see them seeing the doctor? Did you hear what the doctor said?”

Ge Dejun shook his head, ”I didn’t hear what the doctor said, but your nephew kept yelling and shouting, saying he wanted to report to the Public Security Officer, so they could come to the village to arrest someone.”

”Arrest someone? Who did he say had injured him?” Ge Liutao couldn’t help but ask.

When Chiang Xiao came back last night, she locked her door, and with the way she was scowling, they didn’t even dare to ask to go over to check on her. This morning, Chiang Xiao stayed at home the entire time; they only heard Ho Laidi from next door cursing nonstop, having no idea what had actually happened.

Liu Pei thought of Chiang Baohe sitting there, cursing in a mad frenzy, and couldn’t help but shiver.

That man looked terrifying!

”He said it was a woman!” Ge Dejun didn’t want to gossip too much, but Liu Pei had no such qualms. She lowered her voice, her eyes gleaming with excitement, ”Big sister, do you have such a beautiful woman in your village? I heard Chiang Baohe say she had her hair down, bright red lips, and pale skin, wearing revealing clothes on her arms and thighs, looking all bright and beautiful, just like a fairy!”

”Cough cough!” Hearing Liu Pei’s unrefined description, Ge Dejun coughed twice as a sign, reminding them that Chiang Xiao was still there.

It’s not good to discuss such things in front of a child.

Yet Chiang Xiao listened with amusement, liking this aunt-by-marriage.

Seeing her gossip with Ge Liutao, there was a sense of closeness; she would be overjoyed if her grandmother could get along well with her brother’s wife.

Besides, even though this aunt-by-marriage seemed honest enough, her personality was much more cheery than her grandmother’s, and she spoke frankly. If she could influence her grandmother, that would be a good thing.

”Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m the head of the Chiang Family now. I can listen to these things too!” Chiang Xiao pulled up a small stool and joined in. ”Aunt, tell me more!”

Liu Pei glanced at her husband and, deciding to ignore him, continued in a hushed voice, ”As soon as Chiang Baohe said it in the hospital, his dad and brother went pale! They both pointed at him and scolded him furiously, accusing him of being drunk and muddled! Chiang Baohe wouldn’t have it though, insisting he wasn’t drunk, he hadn’t been mistaken, it was indeed a woman who looked just like a fairy that had enchanted him. He said he hadn’t even done anything yet when he passed out, only waking up from the pain when that woman hit his foot.”

Ge Liutao exclaimed in astonishment, ”So, are you saying that the woman injured him on purpose?”

”That’s what he’s saying, but I saw that no one believed him! Big sister, do you have such a woman in your village?”

”Where would we have such a person?” Ge Liutao shook her head. ”Someone who looks like a fairy? There’s no such person.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

The woman she drew at random was indeed beautiful, with lips painted with red pigment, indeed as red as those of a fairy.
