”There was another quarrel at the entrance of the village yesterday.”

　　”What’s the big deal? It must be Wang Ergou who is back again.”

　　At noon, several people were sitting together in Aunt Wang’s yard chatting. As soon as someone started talking, the one who started the conversation guessed what he was talking about and curled his lips, thinking there was nothing to say. The noise at Wang Ergou’s house was all the same, boring.

　　At first the man said, “Do you think it’s funny this time? Wang Ergou scolded Uncle Wang for having an affair behind his back.”

　　”What’s so funny about this? Didn’t Wang Ergou say the same thing when he asked for money? With the amount of work Wang Xue does every day, he probably doesn’t even have time to pee, so how can he have time to cheat on someone?”

　　This was said by a married man. His words were rough but true, and everyone laughed after he said it.

　　”It’s different. This time Wang Ergou even cursed me by name.”

　　”Wang Xue couldn’t possibly steal someone, so who would he steal from?”

　　The person who started it just wanted to talk a little more, which was a rare thing. He got everyone hung up and then said, “Wang Ergou scolded Uncle Wang for stealing Li Zhouzhou. Tell me, is it funny? I didn’t hear the rest last night, but I heard Wang Ergou yelling this, and it made me laugh to death.”

　　Everyone burst into laughter.

　　”Brother stealing brother, this is the first time I heard it.”

　　”Wang Ergou is really a dog with shit in his mouth. He even chewed this bullshit to get money.”

　　”What happened in the end? What happened? Wang Ergou didn’t blackmail Li Zhouzhou, did he? He was a scoundrel.”

　　”I’m afraid not. If a fight breaks out, Li Zhouzhou doesn’t look like he’ll suffer any loss. Besides, there’s also Li Da. With Li Da’s skills, Wang Ergou will have to carry him on his back. He doesn’t dare to go up to Li Da to cause trouble.”

　　Li Da was tall and strong, and could carry a pig weighing over 200 pounds with ease. As for Wang Ergou, he didn’t even dare to fart in front of Li Da.

　　”I said I didn’t see Zhou Zhou when I bought tofu this morning. Zhou Zhou usually comes to buy tofu and says that his husband likes it. They have a good relationship.”

　　”Zhou Zhou is a sensible child. Although everyone knows that Wang Ergou is not a human being, and Zhou Zhou and Uncle Wang are of different generations, if he really goes to buy tofu, it will definitely make Uncle Wang feel awkward. As for his parents-in-law… well, forget it.”

　　”That’s right. When I first got married, I heard that Uncle Wang was in charge of the Wang family’s money, and I thought his parents-in-law were not as they were said to be. Now, it’s been almost ten years, and who is in charge of the money? Wang Ergou asks for money from anyone, and beats anyone who doesn’t give it. But when he really gives it, the old couple complains about the money and the management of the money.”

　　If Uncle Wang really had the final say, the clothes he wore would not be patched up and worn for three to five years without new ones. But his parents-in-law had to change their clothes every two years, and every two days they would hold their chests and cry out in discomfort, and they would push all the work aside, leaving all the hard work to Uncle Wang.

　　”Forget it, the more I talk, the more boring it becomes.”

　　Everyone loves to have fun, but they can’t stand the Wang family’s fun, especially the one happening to Wang Xue. The main reason is that Wang Xue is too miserable. Trying to feel superior to Wang Xue is like bullying him. There is no one else to compare with, so compare with Wang Xue.

　　No one mentioned it anymore. The more they talked, the angrier they got. They all changed the subject and talked about something else. Who knew that Aunt Wang, who had been silent before, said, “Who knows if there is really a problem, otherwise Li Zhouzhou would not have run to the village entrance in the middle of the night.”

　　”……”Everyone was speechless.

　　What’s wrong with Aunt Wang?

　　”Aunt, are you and Zhou Zhou unhappy?”

　　”No.” Aunt Wang saw everyone looking at her, lowered her head and sewed something in her hands, saying, “It was like that, and I didn’t say anything.”

　　Someone laughed. He was the one who started this conversation. He said, “I haven’t finished what I was saying yet. Not long after we quarreled last night, Gu Shulang came over and took Zhou Zhou back. I guess Zhou Zhou asked Uncle Wang if he had any tofu. Didn’t they go to Shili Village yesterday morning? Gu Shulang loves to eat tofu, and Zhou Zhou feels sorry for his husband.”

　　I see.

　　There was nothing to explain in the first place, Aunt Wang had to explain what she said. No wonder Li Zhouzhou didn’t go to buy tofu anymore, he had to avoid him. Aunt Wang treated Li Zhouzhou well before, and she even helped the Zhang family when they argued with Li Zhouzhou. Why did she lead the conversation to something else now?

　　”What did you go to Shili Village for? To buy a stove? No way, doesn’t he have two at home?”

　　”I heard that he brought gifts and went to Shili Village to see Mr. Zhu to ask some questions.”

　　”Ohh, the book-reading thing.”

　　No one was interested in what the scholar said, and they turned to talk about something else. Some of them were still making eye contact, glancing at Aunt Wang, asking what was going on with her and Li Zhouzhou.
