Chapter 53 Wang Qinghong

Wang Qingli rolled her eyes. "Sister, don't remind me. Binbin and I have lived together on the upper and lower bunks for half a month. We chat every night. She knows what kind of person I am."

Xie Yun said, "Yes! I like Sister Qingli's straightforward personality. She's very straightforward and quick-witted. If you ask me, all of us women should learn from Sister Qingli. That's the only way to avoid being taken advantage of."

Wang Qinghong laughed and said, "Don't follow her example. She won't suffer any immediate harm by doing this, but in the long run, her reputation will be ruined. How will she get married in the future? Will her in-laws have any objections to her? You two are just children, only caring about your own head and not your buttocks."

Wang Qingli said, "What is temporary? What is long-term? I don't know if I'll suffer a loss in the long run, but if I suffer a loss temporarily, it's real. If I suffer one loss after another, others will just think I'm easy to bully, and I'll never stop suffering losses."

Xie Yun said, "Yes! Sister Qingli is right! Kind people are often bullied, kind horses are often ridden, and people only pick on the weak. If a person is too honest, he will be easily bullied, and he will be bullied all the time. Besides, Sister Qingli will not marry someone who has a grudge against her."

Wang Qingli said, "That's right! I definitely won't marry someone who doesn't like me! Do I think I'd rush over and let them bully me just because they look down on me? I'd rather not marry! I'm not a bitch!"

She said to Wang Qinghong, "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should be tough. If this happened to me, I would definitely go to the matchmaker's house and smash it up! What a lousy match! And that guy, I won't stop until he's beaten to a pulp."

"You've beaten him to a pulp now!"

Wang Qingli: "...Hehehe, it's not that serious. I just punched him a few times and kicked him a few times. Who told him to be so mean! My sister didn't agree, and he actually said that no one wants her at her age. He's in his thirties, and my sister is only 24. He has no idea who's older!

Besides, that guy is just a short, stout fellow with bumpy features and is awfully ugly. My sister is pretty and capable, so how could he have the nerve to say such things? Such a cheap man, I'd be itching to beat him up if I didn't!"

Xie Yun: "Well done! You deserve it!"

Wang Qingli continued, "After I returned from training, I discovered my parents hadn't given up on him and were trying to convince my sister to agree to the marriage because he was willing to pay a high bride price. I went to his family to inquire, and guess what? He was very poor. He could only afford the high bride price because he had five older sisters, each of whom contributed a little, and some was borrowed from various sources. So, after my sister married him, she would not only help raise his children, but also work hard to earn work points to help pay off his debts."

Xie Yun uttered a "tsk tsk" sound, "This guy is really calculating!"

"That's right. I see him acting like that, maybe even hitting someone. This kind of person would definitely think that he can do whatever he wants with the wife he bought. He would definitely blame my sister for all his debts. How could my sister have a good life? My parents actually wanted to marry my sister to such a rotten guy. They knew it was a hellhole and a cesspool, but instead of trying to stop them, they wanted to push their own daughter into it. What's wrong with me scolding them?"

Xie Yun: "Nothing, I deserved the scolding! Good job!"

Wang Qinghong watched the two people getting more and more excited in their conversation and reminded them, "Just walk a little further and you'll pass. The supply and marketing cooperative is on your right."

"oh oh."

Wang Qingli and Xie Yunxian stopped and entered the supply and marketing cooperative.

These are 120 eggs that I saved for two months, each costing 3 cents. I sold them for 3.6 yuan.

Wang Qingli said happily, "Sister, look, we just separated and now we have money."

Wang Qinghong also laughed. In fact, after getting over the initial panic, she felt that dividing the family was no big deal.

She usually doesn't make any noise, works more, eats less and talks less, because in her eyes, that is her home and those two people are her parents.

It is said that an old person in the family is like a treasure, and that a home feels like a home only when parents are around. She also knows how difficult life is for some children who have no father, no mother, or even whose parents have both passed away, so she cherishes her parents and her home.

She felt that her parents were like the roof of the Chinese character "home", which protected her from wind and rain and made her not panic or afraid. No matter what happened, she had her parents above her.

However, when her parents wanted to marry her to a man like that for 180 yuan, even though her sister had told them the news she had heard; when she saw her sister being insulted by her parents for helping her, and their insults were so harsh and vicious, she suddenly became unsure, would such parents really protect her?

So, when her younger sister angrily scolded her parents, beat her younger brother, clamored for a division of the family, and called the women's director, she stood on her younger sister's side.

She thought that before, she was just used to being controlled and oppressed by others, used to being obedient and submissive, used to letting others make decisions on everything. She just didn't know if she could live independently without her parents. She just didn't know how to face a new and unknown future.

However, seeing her sister sticking her neck out to help her, she decided to give it a try.

She wants to step out of her "comfort zone" and start a new life, a life where she is no longer influenced by others and can be the master of her own destiny.

The three people sold their things and walked out.

Xie Yun didn't even glance at the herbal medicine counter. But when Li Wenrui saw her, his mind immediately became active, and he kept guessing what Xie Yun had sent to his family today.

As soon as he got off work, he hurried home. When he got home and ate beggar's chicken, he said to Yu Ziqin, "This girl is reliable. When she sends something again, we can finalize a long-term cooperation, and then I will help her get the job done. I don't require her to send us a lot of things, just send some, and think of us to order if there are any good things, that's all."

Yu Ziqin asked, "What kind of job is she looking for? Is it convenient for you now?"

Li Wenrui: "She doesn't find a job for herself, she finds one for her mother."

Yu Ziqin smiled and said, "He's a good kid. He's still doing farm work. Let your mother relax for a while."

"That's right. This child loves his mother so much that his character must be bad."

"But you're in this state now, what kind of job can you find for her?"

Li Wenrui thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find Lao Qin. I saved his father back then, and he said he owed me a favor. These past two years, when we've been down on our luck, he didn't take advantage of us. He even came to see us once secretly. I told him not to come again. I'll let Xie Yun go find him, and I'll pass the favor on to Xie Yun. Ask him to find a job for Xie Yun's mother, and we'll be even."

Yu Ziqin thought for a moment and said, "That's good. Maybe Old Qin can feel relieved. Otherwise, if we keep owing him this favor, he might worry that we'll make excessive demands in the future."

In fact, we have a lot of favors like this, but we didn’t need them before and we don’t need them now, so it’s better to give them to Xie Yun.

Besides, we don't know when the situation will improve, but Xie Yun's willingness to take the risk of delivering supplies to us is a gesture of friendship. I don't think the girl took it personally, saying it was just a mutual aid. I quite appreciate her attitude."

On the other side, sisters Xie Yun and Wang Qingli left the supply and marketing cooperative and started chatting again.

Xie Yun asked her, "Is the division of the family just a verbal discussion?"

Wang Qingli smiled and said, "No, there is a separation agreement."
