Chapter 25 - Home ugliness

　　This matter is not trivial, why he said it so easily. Looking at Fang Lei's light-hearted expression, Shen Bailu couldn't help but wonder.

　　"Clean up the portal? Is that what I think?"

　　Fang Lei: "That's what you think. It's also a ugly thing to say, but it's not okay if you don't know it."

　　When Shen Bailu heard it, his ears were all stunned. Could it be that kind of gossip? Zhang Qin seems to be better at dressing up than other rural women, and better-maintained than his peers. Could it be that which man in the village got together?

　　Although he was curious and had some gossiping desires, he still tried to stay calm and asked him, "So serious?"

　　Fang Lei had no scruples. He said one thing: "I have told you some things about my family before."

　　"Um."

　　As early as when Fang Lei's father died, his brother Fang Kai was only three or four years old. Zhang Qin was still young and everyone persuaded her to remarry, but she was unwilling and said that she wanted to raise Fang Kai.

　　At that time, she was still earning work points. She basically worked hard, never went to the fields, but only raised pigs in the team and did some trifling work. Every time she counts work points or distributes food in the team, she basically strives for the most benefits. The entire production team had quite big opinions on her, but she said that she was a widow and an orphan and could not be bullied in this way. Everyone can only shake their heads and don't bother to care about her after seeing her snarling and rolling posture.

　　"Later, after doing it alone, our family got a few acres of farmland, and she didn't care about the farmland, so she left the farmland to the uncle's family."

　　Shen Bailu listened, secretly thinking that Zhang Qin would really enjoy the blessing.

　　"Isn't this the equivalent of your uncle's family being responsible for her grain and rice? Isn't it unhappy to remarry at such a young age."

　　Fang Lei: "I'm in the army and I can't take care of family affairs. My uncle and the family also made concessions for the sake of orphans and widows."

　　Shen Bailu nodded while listening, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that it was not convincing to clear the door based on this alone.

　　So she asked: "But when you were on the Army Day, didn't you tell me about the separation? Did she do something more excessive? That made you want to clean up the door?"

　　Fang Lei exclaimed and looked at Shen Bailu with a meaningful look.

　　Shen Bailu is a little inexplicable, what does this mean? Reached out and broke off a shrub branch, playing with it in his hand, listening to him continue.

　　Fang Lei's tone was heavy: "Because of the war and preparations, I haven't been home for three years. After arguing with her on the 2nd, I went to the uncle's house. Uncle saw that I had the idea of separating the family, so he told something about it. I, let me make my own decision. Only then did I know that she couldn't stand loneliness at all in the past few years. There is a bachelor in the village next door."

　　Sure enough...Shen Bailu was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "Then what is she going to do? Wouldn't it be enough to remarry yourself?"

　　Fang Lei said, "Tu Shutan lives."

　　"...What do you say?"

　　"Before, she was in the team and I was not who I am now. She would send her money to subsidize the family from time to time, and she didn't care about growing food, so her life was really comfortable. Remarriage may not be able to meet such conditions. Maybe She has to have children, so she never wanted to remarry."
