It’s been a long time since she heard this ear-piercing voice, Lin Xianglian didn’t react for a while, she turned her head in a daze, and her eyes moved to the middle-aged woman with a big belly beside her. Although Li Xiu is pregnant, she is not much fat, she is still dark and thin.
In this day and age, even pregnant women have to go to work in the fields. Li Xiu previously pushed all the work to Lin Xianglian and raised her for several years. This year, all the retribution has come.
Meeting Li Xiu again, Lin Xianglian’s eyes didn’t change much. During the period of living in her natal family, she had already figured it out. When people are alive, not only others, but occasionally they have to think for themselves. Even if you have to sacrifice yourself, it must be for Yu Tong and your family, not for someone who is not worthy. She hated her past cowardice.
So Lin Xianglian just glanced at Li Xiu, and said with a faint smile, “Sister-in-law, long time no see.”
Li Xiu said “Bah”, “Don’t call me sister-in-law, you go to the city dressed like this to hook up, right? Don’t insult us.”
Lin Xianglian actually didn’t dress up specially today, for her, being in the village is the same as being in the city. It’s just that she has a good foundation, and after being raised for more than two months, her skin has turned white a lot. Even wearing ordinary clothes, she looks better than before.
But Lin Xianglian’s clothes were not ordinary, the fabric was brought by Yu Tong in the county town, and Sun Shuhui personally made it for her after asking someone to bring it back.
As far as Sun Shuhui’s intentions are concerned, the price cannot be measured. This is the real reason for Li Xiu’s jealousy. She is pregnant and still wearing old clothes from before. Mrs. Yu has been so upset recently that she and Yu Lele are not allowed to make new clothes to wear! What do you say that the family has no money, no food, and is poor? In fact, it’s that you don’t want to do it for them? How could it be done before but not now.
Now Li Xiu looked at Lin Xianglian’s new clothes, her eyes were about to sparkle. She is pregnant, and her status is not as good as that of an ordinary old woman? !
When Yu Changzhi heard that the words were wrong, he quickly stopped her and said, “Xiu’er, don’t talk nonsense, Xianglian is going to work in the city.”
Yu Changzhi is a big and thick man, with strength but no brains, and his voice is not low. With such a voice, everyone in the car knew that Lin Xianglian was going to work in the city. Going to work in the city is a big deal, and no matter how many people rely on connections, they won’t be able to get in.
Everyone looked at Lin Xianglian with envy. This envy made Li Xiu even more dissatisfied. She said angrily, “Who knows what method she used to find a job? There are dozens of people staring at the factory in the city. Why did they find her? Tch, I despise this person the most.”
These words meant something, and it pointed in a very bad direction. The eyes of the people in the car suddenly became subtle. That’s right, Lin Xianglian is from a village, so why did she suddenly go to work in a factory in the city? Could it be that…it’s fine if she asks for help, but if…the nature is bad.
If the people above know about this, they will be sentenced. Lin Xianglian is not a child either, so she naturally understood what Li Xiu was talking about. Li Xiu sat in front of Lin Xianglian triumphantly while speaking, and she came here today because of Lin Xianglian. She still wants to go to work in the city, but she doesn’t even have a face now!
“Sister-in-law, you can’t say that.” Being framed like this is a big deal, but Lin Xianglian didn’t get angry because of it. She was used to Li Xiu’s ways, and now she can see what Li Xiu said. Saying nature is not that important either.
“My sister-in-law from my natal family helped me with the work, as well as Tongtong’s friends. Tongtong went to school in the city and happened to know a few people. You must have real evidence for what you say. If you talk like this, sister-in-law, I have to report it to Captain Zhao.”
Lin Xianglian’s expression was indifferent, and she was not affected by Li Xiu at all. Seeing Lin Xianglian’s determined expression, and the fact that she explained with confidence, and she didn’t seem to be lying at all, the eyes of the people in the car lightened up a little.
They turned to look at Li Xiu. Aren’t you sister-in-law? How can you say such slanderous words? It’s too bad.
A shadow flashed across Li Xiu’s face, she was sullen, lowered her head slightly, annoyed in her heart. It’s fine that Yu Tong suddenly became eloquent, but why is Lin Xianglian like this now? What kind of medicine did the mother and daughter take, why did they become so tempered so quickly? !
In the past, she could bully as much as she wanted, but now if she said one more word, she would be pushed back!
“Don’t be too happy, Yu Tong is a girl, even if she goes to school, what can she do? Hmph, she’s still not as good as the child in my belly.” Lin Xianglian frowned, and disagreed with Li Xiu’s statement.
After all, in Lin Xianglian’s heart, Yu Tong is the best child in the world. She lowered her voice: “Sister-in-law, don’t say that, what’s wrong with the girl, the girl is also my child. Isn’t your Yu Lele also a girl?” On the other side, Yu Lele had already pouted.
Mom, what is this? Ever since she was born, she has had everything she asked for . Yu Lele used to think that Li Xiu liked her very much. Looking at it now, Li Xiu still prefers boys. With this younger brother, can Yu Lele have a good life in the future? !
Li Xiu was irritated by Lin Xianglian: “Don’t compare Yu Tong with my family, what’s so good about your Yu Tong, who wants it, black and thin, who wants it!” At this point, Lin Xianglian frowned and shook her head helplessly .
Some people are stubborn, so there is really no need to argue with her. After all, Li Xiu is just jealous. Since it’s jealousy, why should she care about her? Anyway, this kind of person is unreasonable, it is better to let her experience the hardships of life for herself.
Li Xiu was angry all the way, she was someone who would keep it in her heart until she scolded, the more she held back, the more uncomfortable she became.
There was a lot of discussion among the people in the car, most of which were bad things about Li Xiu. Li Xiu had made so many troubles that she was well-known in the village. Now that someone recognizes Li Xiu, and with her harsh words that slandered women’s reputation just now, everyone has some opinions on her to some extent.
The more Li Xiu thought about it, the angrier she became, she could only comfort herself psychologically, it was nothing, so what if the mother and daughter came to the city? These people, really think that Lin Feng can help them for the rest of their lives? Go dreaming, sooner or later they won’t be able to get along and have to go back to the village! Thinking of this, Li Xiu felt much more comfortable.
At noon, the gentle sunlight shines in from the car window, not too dazzling, nor lose the temperature, it is golden and pleasing. When the shuttle bus arrived at the county seat, there were many people waiting under the bus. They were here to pick up people.
Li Xiu looked at these people who picked them up, and felt quite envious. Her natal family’s conditions are not very good, and there is no one in the city, so she desperately hopes that Yu Lele can marry into the city.
After reaching, Yu Changzhi helped Li Xiu to go forward. She was pregnant and walked last. Lin Xianglian was in front of her. Li Xiu looked at Lin Xianglian’s back with a straight face, and sneered in her heart. Isn’t it just sweeping the ground in the city? When Yu Lele marries into the city, she might be able to marry a small cadre in the factory. Let’s see how long she can be rampant! Li Xiu sneered while walking forward. Before getting out of the bus, she saw people who had already got off the bus chirping and not leaving.
She looked forward curiously, and when she looked, she saw someone she didn’t really want to see–Yu Tong.
At that time, winter was approaching, the sky was getting colder, and everyone’s clothes were getting thicker. Yu Tong also wears a lot of clothes, but after seeing her for a few months, her demeanor is quite different from before. Even though she wears heavy clothes, she is still very light and fashionable.
Especially her face, it probably didn’t need to be exposed to the sun, and it returned to its original skin color, which was as white as cold jade. On the whole, she has exquisite facial features, red lips and white teeth, like a fairy beauty, and she is very good-looking.
On the other hand, Yu Lele. Li Xiu glanced at the dark Yu Lele and almost rolled her eyes in anger. She wanted rely on Yu Lele to marry a good family but why is this child like this now? ! Without Yu Tong’s comparison, she didn’t notice it!
Yu Lele also saw Yu Tong, and when she saw Yu Tong’s face, she felt a “click” in her heart, and then saw the gentle Xie Wencheng standing beside her, her face completely collapsed. Xie Wencheng actually accompanied Yu Tong to pick up Lin Xianglian now, the relationship between them, Yu Lele didn’t want to think about it.
Her heart felt like grass had grown, and she felt very uncomfortable. Of course it wasn’t Yu Tong’s face that caused the sensation. Although she was really good-looking, in this age when everyone couldn’t get enough to eat, who cares how good-looking your face is. Even those who care about appearance are still girls like Yu Lele.
What everyone paid attention to was actually what Yu Tong was carrying in her hand. In order to welcome Lin Xianglian, Yu Tong deliberately cut two catties of meat, both lean and fat. Not only bought meat, but also bought a lot of pastries, such as glutinous rice noodles and shortbread, the price is not low.
Just now in the car Li Xiu was still thinking about Lin Xianglian, saying that Yu Tong was worthless, now that Yu Tong came here with these things, everyone will naturally pay more attention.
Now it seems that Yu Tong is promising, maybe Li Xiu’s eyes are turning red with jealousy? Several people looked at Li Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, and then sneered.
And Li Xiu looked at the things in Yu Tong’s hands, her heart beat faster than before. Yu Tong… has are so many good things? ! Didn’t she just go to school, where did she get the money to buy so many things? ! Li Xiu didn’t struggle with this question for long, and soon, she noticed Xie Wencheng next to Yu Tong.
The two came to pick up Lin Xianglian together, and it was difficult for Li Xiu to think about this situation.
Thinking that Yu Tong might already be having an affair with Xie Wencheng, Li Xiu’s pent-up breath from this morning gradually flared up. She couldn’t breathe, her eyes went dark, and her legs went limp. Yu Tong and Lin Xianglian are living so much better than her… She is not happy !
**********************
Xie Wencheng really didn’t come to accompany Yu Tong to pick up Her mother on purpose, no matter how busy he is, he is not so good. It’s just that the old lady in his family. he didn’t know what was going on, when she heard that Lin Xianglian was coming, she ordered Xie Wencheng to pick her up. She also asked to invite Lin Xianglian to dinner, saying that she was thankful for giving birth to such a good girl as Yu Tong.
Xie Wencheng was quite speechless. What does it have to do with you, an old lady, to thank for others daughter? But grandma is getting old, when Xie Wencheng disobeyed her several times before, and she was so angry that she fell ill. Now Xie Wencheng obeys her, dare not say a word “no”, so he had to come with Yu Tong.
Lin Xianglian was also a little surprised to see Xie Wencheng.
Xie Wencheng explained with a smile: “I’m afraid you have too many things, and Yu Tong can’t carry them alone. Lin Feng is busy today, so he can’t come here, so I came here for him.”
Lin Xianglian replied vaguely. Why does she feel that the relationship between Xie Wencheng and her daughter…is too close.
But now Lin Xianglian trusts Yu Tong very much, and Yu Tong has not done anything out of line, so she doesn’t say much, Yu Tong knows what she does, hence she is very relieved.
Yu Tong actually noticed that Li Xiu was there, but she didn’t take the initiative to mention it. Anyway, she has nothing to do with Li Xiu now, so why pay attention to her? Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself? So seeing the scene where Li Xiu fainted, Yu Tong really didn’t expect that Li Xiu was overwhelmed by her.
After all, not everyone is so narrow-minded. Yu Tong pulled Lin Xianglian forward, “Mom, I bought meat today, both fat and thin, and I’ll cook you!” Lin Xianglian hadn’t seen her daughter for a long time, and now she was holding Yu Tong and kissing her. He smiled and said, “Okay, mom loves to eat whatever you make”
Half of ordinary families are strict fathers and loving mothers, but Xie Wencheng’s family is just the opposite. Xie Wencheng and his father are like friends, but the relationship with his mother is not so close. When he was a child, he wanted to play with his mother, but his mother would always ignore him, which made him wonder if he was adopted.
Over time, the way Xie Wencheng and his mother get along has become mutual respect. The relationship is very good, but they have never been as close as Yu Tong and Lin Xianglian.
Therefore, Xie Wencheng was very envious when he saw this scene. Carrying Lin Xianglian’s luggage, he followed Yu Tong and Lin Xianglian, and suddenly felt that this was the meaning of a happy life.
Being able to walk hand in hand with the person you love for a lifetime, being able to take care of her and help her so that she can live a better life. Xie Wencheng was taken aback by his own thoughts.
It’s strange, even if he starts to think about setting up a family and starting a business, he can’t just look at Yu Tong and think about it. How old is Yu Tong, how can he have such an idea? Damn. Xie Wencheng frowned and shook his head.
Yu Tong noticed Xie Wencheng’s abnormality, turned around and asked curiously: “Brother Cheng, what’s wrong with you, your complexion is not very good, is it too heavy? Give me some, don’t carry it all by yourself, what to do if you are exhausted. ”
“No need.” Seeing Yu Tong’s smile, Xie Wencheng’s irritable heart became inexplicably calmer. He shook his head and said with a smile, “What do you want to do tonight? I haven’t made it clear yet. I’ll go buy the ingredients for you.”
“Oh, this,” said Yu Tong excitedly when she mentioned today’s dinner, she endured it for a long time, she couldn’t bear it anymore, she planned to eat hot pot tonight!
Of course, these days are not as convenient as they are now. There is noone who sells contracted pot bottoms, but you can also adjust them yourself.
Most importantly, she can finally eat shabu-shabu!
