Chapter 1641 - 937: Bullying
"Danni, looks like you’ve made it big, driving such a nice car back. Taking your aunt for a spin?" A woman with a piercing voice waddled over like a meatball, gripping the car door with her chubby hand, trying to climb in.
"Let’s go home." Father Li got out of the car with a gloomy face, not even glancing at the woman, and turned to walk towards the courtyard. Mrs. Li sighed softly and quickly followed.
"Hehe..." The woman glanced at Father Li and Mrs. Li, and started giggling, "Second brother and sister-in-law are afraid I’ll take advantage, huh."
Li Xiaoyan and her siblings ignored the woman, opened the trunk, and started taking out the gifts one by one. The woman’s eyes lit up, and she quickly jumped off the car: "Danni, Er Ni, Xiao Ning, don’t you recognize your second aunt?"
Li Xiaoxian stood up straight, looking at the woman expressionlessly: "Second Aunt, is my eldest brother’s divorce finalized?"
"Oh..."
"Li Aihua, your son is already divorced, shouldn’t you be busy making money to find him another wife instead of meddling here?"
"Divorce, huh, it’s the first time for our village."
"Yes indeed, Xiao Yan is too busy with her career to find a husband, do you know why your son got divorced?"
"Hahaha..."
"..."
Listening to the crowd’s mocking gossip, the woman’s smile froze, and she turned back to glare viciously at them: "I’ll remember you all, don’t come running to us for help later."
"Hahaha..."
"Li Aihua, are you jealous of all the stuff Danni brought back?"
"Yeah, too bad your son Yushu isn’t the village head anymore, no one’s giving you gifts."
"Did anyone ever give her gifts before?"
"No, but if they didn’t, Yushu would make things difficult for their family, so to keep the peace, no one wanted to cross her."
"Right, right, how could I forget that?"
"..."
Li Xiaoxian whispered to Li Xiaoyan: "Because of Li Xiaolin’s divorce, Li Yushu didn’t have the money to buy a ticket and was brushed off."
"There’s nothing you don’t know." Li Xiaoyan glared at her sister, "Alright, hurry up and bring the stuff home." The siblings were deliberately showing off the items to everyone.
West Official Village is a poor village, with villagers being farmers who survive off the land. In winter, during the off-season, everyone stays home waiting for spring. With nothing to do, they naturally love to gossip, but there’s not much to gossip about in such a small village.
Generally, it’s just about whose daughter-in-law doesn’t get along, which brothers are fighting, whose child found a good son-in-law, whose child married a good wife, whose pig gave birth... and other trivial matters.
In recent years, more young people have gone out to work, adding a new topic for gossip: comparing how much good stuff and money the kids bring back.
Li Xiaoyan didn’t want to do this, but she had no choice. Her parents lived here, and they had to follow the village’s rules; otherwise, they’d be looked down upon and given the cold shoulder.
As for this woman called Second Aunt, Li Aihua, she was Li Xiaoyan’s father Li Youping’s cousin. Whenever relatives came or kids returned from working outside, she was sure to be present.
Farmers often need the village head’s help, and no one wants trouble, so they let her be. Over time, she seemed to take it for granted.
Li Xiaoyan and her siblings didn’t bother with her, whether or not she was the village head’s wife. Even before, they didn’t like dealing with her.
Father Li and Mrs. Li were polite to her, but the family was poor with nothing good to give her, so she naturally didn’t respect them, which was why she always spoke unpleasantly when she came over.
"Look at that, Danni really made it big, look at all those crates of good stuff; it’s a first for our village."
"Do you even need to say it? If she didn’t make it, could she drive such a big car back?"
"Yeah, no wonder she’s not rushing to get married, busy with her career."
"What’s the use of a woman busy with her career? In the end, she still needs to find a husband. I’d say, for women, it’s important to find a good husband while they’re young."
"Danni is so capable, if she just says the word, there’d definitely be good families proposing."
"Find someone younger than Danni, would Danni even agree?"
"True, it’s not easy to find a decent guy her age around here."
"Danni wouldn’t come back to find someone; she’d probably find a big boss outside and marry him."
