354 Abnormal
After Fang Rui’er thought about it carefully, she finally shook her head and said with certainty, “No.”
In order to prove that she was right, Fang Rui’er even gave a very convincing example. “Our next door neighbor is the closest to us.
I go to their house often, and their daughter-in-law often comes to our house to visit.
However, the youngest in their family is Er Ni’er, who’s about my age.
Their daughter-in-law is even older than my brother, but she doesn’t have a child.
I remembered that after my sister-in-law got pregnant, she even mentioned this when she came over to talk. My sister-in-law originally thought that it was not appropriate to say anything about this kind of thing, for fear that it would arouse the other party’s sadness and make her unhappy, but she did not seem to care at all. She only smiled and said that she wasn’t fated.
If it were any other village, the elders would have been anxious!
However, our neighbor’s mother-in-law did not seem to care at all.
By the way, there’s another thing. The relationship between every family in this village is unbelievably harmonious.
In ordinary families, there would more or less be some conflicts between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, but none of that existed in this village.
“Madam Liu, you know that my father and mother have a very good relationship. In the village we used to live in, my parents were definitely the most harmonious couple in the village.
However, even they often had some small conflicts and argued at times.
“But the people in this village don’t seem to know what a quarrel is. Whether it’s mother-in-law, sisters-in-Law, husband and wife, or even neighbors, there’s never been a single quarrel.”
At this point, Fang Rui’er seemed to be worried that Lin Suisui would worry too much, so she quickly explained, “I’m not saying that this is not good. I just feel that this kind of thing is a little too good to be true. It’s like a fantasy.”
Even if the lack of children could be explained as a coincidence or with other reasons, the excessive harmonious was too strange.
However, Lin Suisui did not ask further. Instead, she reassured Fang Rui’er.
After all, she did not want Fang Rui’er to know too much about this kind of thing and scare her. Of course, she was afraid that Fang Rui’er would not be able to control her emotions and end up alerting the enemy.
Fang Rui’er did not stay long. After breakfast, she stood up and left.
However, after Fang Rui’er left the courtyard, she was stopped by a few women from the village.
“Rui’er, do you know that general’s wife?”
“That’s right. I heard from my mother that your mother and sister-in-law came back this time in the general’s carriage! Moreover, my sister-in law saw that the general’s servants sent a lot of things to your house yesterday. What’s your relationship with her?”
“Rui’er, since you’re on good terms with the general, why is your family still living in this village?! Isn’t it better to go to Cloud Mountain City?”
“Don’t ask too much about that. Their family probably doesn’t know the general, but only one of the general’s concubines! You’re talking about that woman with the veiled hat, right? By the way, Rui’er, is the woman you’re familiar with the General’s favorite concubine?”
“Don’t make wild guesses. That’s the general’s wife, not a concubine!” When Fang Rui’er heard this, she couldn’t help but explain to the women in front of her seriously, “We met them on the way to the north previously.
The reason we didn’t stay in Cloud Mountain City is that my parents have always farmed for a living, so what will we rely on to survive in Cloud Mountain city?
Moreover, my second brother has already joined the army!
If he’s successful, our family can naturally go to Cloud Mountain City. Why bother others?”
Fang Rui’er’s excuse was very reasonable, but it did not satisfy these women.
They continued to surround Fang Rui’er and chatter with harshness and malice.
“Hehe, Rui’er, stop making excuses! With the general’s help, what can’t you guys do in Cloud Mountain City? Wouldn’t your entire family be able to relax and enjoy life? Why come to such a remote place to suffer?”
“That’s right. If that woman is really the general’s wife, why would she treat you guys so well? She’s the general’s wife! Even the village chief has to kneel and kowtow when he sees her!
With such a powerful person as your backer, you actually came to our countryside to farm! How stupid!”
“Could it be that the madam you know isn’t doted on by the general? If she’s really doted on and has such a good relationship with your family, why didn’t the general help your family?”
… .
Fang Rui’er was furious, but she clenched her fists and bit the tip of her tongue to suppress her anger.
She still remembered the mistake she had made on impulse previously. This time, she could not make the same mistake again!
Suppressing her anger, Fang Rui’er looked up with a perfunctory smile at the women who were still waiting for her response. “Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you say!
I still have something to do at home, so I have to go back and help my mother! I’ll be leaving now!”
After saying that, she quickly ducked out of the crowd and ran towards her house in a hurry while ignoring the women behind her.
Fang Rui’er jogged home and entered the courtyard while panting. Fang Liu, who was feeding chickens in the courtyard, was startled. When she looked up and saw her flustered sister-in-law, her heart skipped a beat as she asked, “What’s going on?”
“I’m fine.” Fang Rui’er did not have the time to catch her breath. She turned around and hurriedly closed the courtyard door. After confirming that outsiders could not open the courtyard door from the outside, she pulled her sister-in-law into the room. “Where’s my mother? Is she at home?”
“Yes, but what’s wrong with you? What happened?” As Fang Liu was pulled by Fang Rui’er, she thought about how Fang Rui’er had gone to Madam Liu’s place for breakfast just now. Could it be that something had happened?
