"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Her rough husband threatened her while gripping her waist. She had no choice but to beg for mercy, "No, we're not getting a divorce, we'r...
"What bad luck! To have a sister-in-law like this, who doesn't earn a single work point and only knows how to seduce men to climb over the wall to see her slutty face, she's a complete slut, I've lost all face!"
My sister-in-law is so fierce.
She had hardly ever heard her sister-in-law say anything like that since she was a child, and she didn't know how to retort.
Her mother was a gentle and considerate person who always spoke softly. Under her influence, her own personality became a bit slow and indifferent. When scolded, she would not argue back, but would just lower her head to embroider handkerchiefs and sew shoe soles.
A handkerchief costs 15 cents, and she can embroider two a day, earning 30 cents a day.
Three cents can buy a lot of eggs.
She didn't eat dry food.
She just doesn't have a mother to protect her anymore.
When Er Ya from the village came excitedly to find Ye Xia, she was finishing up the first handkerchief of the day. The sun was high, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, soaking the hair at her forehead, making her small face look fair and rosy.
Er Ya exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Xia! A male educated youth has arrived at the educated youth settlement, and he's incredibly handsome!"
Her mind wasn't on the man; she was only thinking about finishing today's handkerchief embroidery as quickly as possible. Her tone was indifferent: "How pretty can it be?"
In the surrounding villages, regardless of gender, she had never seen a doll as beautiful as her.
She has always been aware of her own beauty. It's not that she's narcissistic, but rather that she grew up hearing these compliments and got tired of them.
Er Ya said, "This time it's different! I think that guy is better looking than all the men in Yejiagou. He's tall and thin, wears glasses, and looks like a male lead in a movie! My dad said... my dad said what was his name again..."
Er Ya scratched the back of her head, then her eyes lit up. She slapped her forehead and waved her little hand, saying, "Yes, refined! My dad says that's what refined is!"
Refined?
I've seen plenty of refined people. Most of the educated youth from the city are very refined. What's the difference?
With a bang, her sister-in-law opened the door again with a gloomy face, glaring at her fiercely, as if she was resenting her for staying at home and not getting married, and for attracting other people to come and play with her. After entering the kitchen, she vented her dissatisfaction by throwing things around, which made her silently put away the embroidery basket in her hands.
"Let's go take a look."
Ye Xia had no idea that this one look would reveal the secrets of her entire life.
The male educated youth resting by the field exuded a calm and composed demeanor, appearing so natural and elegant whether he was talking to someone or lost in thought.
When he immersed himself in the fields, among the many educated youth, he was like a bright star, always attracting attention despite being among ordinary people.
When he harvested wheat, he didn't wield the sickle with the powerful strength of the men in the countryside, nor did he act as hurriedly and awkwardly as other male educated youth.
He moved slowly and methodically, grabbing a handful of wheat and wielding the sickle. He seemed unhurried, but his actions were orderly and did not delay the wheat harvest process of the entire brigade at all.
Their figures moving through the fields are like a beautiful sight, making people want to take a second look.
Ye Xia wondered if this was love at first sight.
No, she was definitely lustful at first sight.
Because that person is really good-looking.
Er Ya didn't lie to her.
And she was indeed a womanizer.
Perhaps it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but she felt that Mu Jingsheng's presence brought a unique atmosphere to this land.
After that, Ye Xia couldn't help but come to the place often.
Embroidery can be done anywhere. There were several other girls in the village who were similar in skill and mainly did embroidery. The girls simply went together, carrying small stools and bamboo baskets, and came to the fields every day to watch the men.
Her playmates enjoyed watching Mu Jingsheng, which conveniently concealed her own desire to see men.
But his playmates just wanted to watch.
She is different.
She didn't just want to watch, she wanted to have sex with him.
Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Don't get the wrong idea!
Later, her desire to go to the fields every day caught her father's attention. He saw through her intentions but did not stop her. He simply told her the other party's identity very carefully.
Oh, he's the descendant of capitalists.
His family committed a crime, his father ran away, and his mother couldn't protect him. This child of a class was sent down to experience the re-education of the lower and middle-class peasants, and he could never go back.
But what did he do wrong?
He couldn't choose his own background, and based solely on his face, he did nothing wrong!
Her father saw through her thoughts and said earnestly, "Xia, be careful. He is the descendant of a capitalist. He will never be able to leave this mountain for the rest of his life."
She said, "But what did he do wrong?"
Father insisted, "The descendants of capitalists."
She said, "But Dad, if my mother's house hadn't collapsed..."
Father's face immediately darkened: "What did your mother do wrong? Your mother couldn't choose her own birth. Just based on her face, she did nothing wrong! He's the same. The descendants of capitalists are also human beings, just ordinary people!"
"..."
She knew that her father was a lecher just like her.
Lust can cloud judgment; love can make one lose their head.
Her father didn't object, but she didn't dare to express her feelings too obviously.
So, she used her savings from half a month to treat all the educated youth in the brigade to an ice cream, and personally handed Mu Jingsheng his ice cream.
The young man looked slightly surprised, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and bowed his head to thank her.
She couldn't sleep for a long time that night.
She was very happy, but her happiness was subtle and reserved, so much so that for months no one knew that she had taken a liking to Mu Jingsheng.
Mu Jingsheng is not a very sociable person.
