Chapter 549 Who doesn't love to hear some gossip?
When I was seven or eight months pregnant, I couldn't sleep at 1 a.m. and suddenly I heard a man downstairs yelling, "Why did you cheat on me?" Out of curiosity, I took the trash downstairs and it felt like half the people in the neighborhood had come out.
Around 11 PM, the couple downstairs were arguing fiercely, smashing pots and pans. My upstairs neighbor and I, still in our pajamas, stood shivering in the cold hallway watching. We watched until 2 AM, when the woman got into a car and left, before we finally went home to sleep.
[Once during a holiday, we went to eat bullfrog. The restaurant was crowded. A girl, who had drunk too much, said to the boy at the same table, "Want to go to a hotel?" The whole lively restaurant instantly fell silent. The girl asked three times in a row. The boy was really something else. To stop her from talking, he just kissed her.]
When I gave birth to my daughter, I was in the labor room, already six or seven centimeters dilated, and about to get on the delivery bed when they wheeled in someone who was giving birth in the toilet. It was a full-term baby, but the woman insisted it was premature. The man was happy to be the father, and he endured the contractions without screaming and just listened [facepalm].
My friend and I went to eat hot pot, and we happened to witness a confession at the next table. The key point is that the man is 39 and the woman is 36, both divorced, and the man has a child.
Then the man started rambling on and on in a greasy way, saying things like they'd been hanging out together for three years and were very happy, that besides their son, the most important person to them was the other person, that they'd been through ups and downs for almost 40 years and had achieved some success, and that they still wanted someone to be with them, etc.
Interspersed throughout, he belittled other friends for not having sons, etc. In the end, the young woman didn't agree and tearfully refused. This man brought a bottle of Maotai, unopened, reflecting on 40 years of ups and downs, and still wanted to buy it with a 98-yuan voucher for 100 yuan (no offense to those who buy vouchers, just that it doesn't fit his character).
I went out for a late-night snack. At the next table, there were five or six greasy middle-aged men and a flamboyant middle-aged woman drinking alcohol. My sister and I were sitting next to them and felt quite uncomfortable.
Until that woman began to speak out: "I'm not a mistress, I'm just his intimate lover. I'm his confidante, his soulmate. I'm just not his wife, I'm the one who loves him the most and understands him the most..."
"I was accompanying my cousin to get her nails done, and we started gossiping. The three nail technicians next to us were all listening in without saying a word [facepalm]"
"Once, while I was on a bus, I don't know what I was thinking, I opened Honor of Kings. While I was playing, I suddenly heard a voice behind me shout, 'Watch out for Angela!' I turned around and there were several people watching me play Honor of Kings."
“Every time I go home, I hear some gossip from the villagers, but unfortunately, I have nowhere to talk about it. Sharing it with people I don't know doesn't have the same effect.”
"This brings me to the bedtime story time with my little son. We had just finished washing up and lay down in bed, and we had just started the story when the neighbors started arguing. The noise was incredibly loud. My son was just talking to me in his sweet, childish voice, but in an instant, we both fell silent, not daring to breathe. My son wasn't even two years old at the time. [Black face][Black face]"
"Hehe, I heard some gossip yesterday. A woman turned her life around through three marriages. Her first marriage ended in divorce, and the man gave her a lot of money. Her second marriage was to a high-ranking executive at a large company, but her husband died, and all the assets went to her. Her third marriage ended in divorce, and she got half of his fortune. She has three children."
"I remember once taking a train and chatting with a younger sister the whole way, while the guy opposite me listened attentively. Eventually, he couldn't help but join in the conversation [facepalm][facepalm],"
"I went to eat rice noodles the other day, and my two colleagues and I were complaining about how we were getting carried away. The two guys next to us had just finished their rice noodles and stood up, but instead of leaving, they glanced at us, sat down again, said they weren't full, and then ordered dumplings [laughing and crying emoji]. We were so engrossed in complaining when they stood up and started talking a bit loudly that the three of us accidentally made eye contact with them."
"My colleagues and I were having drinks together the other day. A guy and a girl at the table behind us were talking about something, and our table suddenly went quiet. Later, the girl asked if we were listening to them, and I sheepishly said, 'I wasn't listening!' Hahahaha."
"Around 2 a.m. on New Year's Eve, I had just gotten back to the hotel with my friends when I heard two men arguing on the main street. I immediately turned on my phone and recorded a video as fast as I could [winking emoji]. I still have it saved [shy emoji]"
"I was playing ranked games with my roommates tonight when we heard people arguing outside the window. I was frantically playing my ranked game while simultaneously telling my other roommate, who wasn't playing, to open the window and listen in to see what they were arguing about [laughing and crying emoji]"
"One night I had a stomachache and went to the hospital for an IV drip. The nurse had just finished prescribing the medicine when I suddenly heard people arguing. I immediately ran over to see what was going on and found several police officers arguing with a group of people."
Since I'm from out of town, I couldn't understand what they were arguing about at all, so I asked around among the onlookers. Some said they were arresting gamblers, some said they were arresting drug users, and others, like me, were just there to join the fun and didn't understand. In the end, I gritted my teeth and endured the pain until the police chased them away before they finally left. [facepalm]
"I was getting an IV drip at the hospital when two policemen helped a guy with a bandage on his head into the infusion room. They questioned him about the details of the fight, and the guy recounted his love story involving three people. Everyone tacitly turned down the flow rate and muted the TV in the lobby [facepalm]"
"Haha, a woman attempted suicide and was brought to the police station. Then two officers got into a fight and were brought back to the station, where they continued arguing. The woman who attempted suicide kept staring at them. The officer said to her, 'See, isn't it more interesting to be alive?' [crying emoji]"
Gossip, isn't that just like the storytellers in our teahouses?
But the storytellers here are really amazing!
Not only can they tell gossip and interesting stories, but they can also perfectly imitate the voice of the protagonist in the story, making every tea drinker feel as if they are there.
…………
Let's not even talk about this kind of gossip.
A woman said with a worried look: "I was on the run just now, and at the vegetable market, a shopkeeper got into an argument with a man. The man was so energetic when he started arguing that he was gesturing so fast that you couldn't even see his movements."
I listened for half an hour as I passed by, and all I heard was the local dialect; I couldn't understand a word. I asked the old lady next to me what they were arguing about, but she was too busy watching the shop owner argue with him to pay any attention to me.
In the end, I didn't manage to buy any groceries and even got scolded by my mother-in-law when I got home. I didn't get to hear any gossip and I didn't get scolded either. Who's more miserable than me, sob sob sob!
Uh, isn't the main point about buying groceries?
The person next to her interrupted, saying, "Isn't this person missing the point? Didn't she go to buy groceries in the first place?"
The woman wiped away her tears, acting as if nothing had happened: Oh, you mean that matter? Is buying groceries that important? Is it more important than satisfying my curiosity and being scolded? My family won't starve if they eat one less bite of vegetables, but I feel so wronged being ignored and scolded by my mother-in-law.
