Involving the life and death of the third brother in the original plot, He Ruixue investigated the matter in detail.

In fact, Cao Youzong was passing by the river when he heard the cry for help and hesitated whether to save people.

A young intellectual happened to come and saw the person in the water. He thought he was the one who pushed the person, and was horrified. He shouted "Murder!" and wanted someone to come and save him.

Cao Youzong shook his head to deny it, but then he thought that if the child was gone, he would be stuck in the mud and would not be able to explain it no matter how hard he tried, so he gritted his teeth and jumped into the water to save the child.

He underestimated the biting cold in the water and paddled desperately. The person in the water grabbed hold of one of his arms like a piece of driftwood and dragged him under, choking on the water.

In just a few minutes, his strength was rapidly draining away, and his limbs seemed to be frozen.

At this time, the educated youth on the shore stretched out a bamboo pole and pulled him out of the river.

Afterwards, after learning the whole story, the educated youth solemnly apologized to him.

Cao Youzong expressed his understanding, and the two of them sent the child to the clinic. A wealthy businessman who had returned to his hometown to visit relatives hurried over.

After learning about his son's experience of falling into the water, he thanked them profusely and gave them generous red envelopes.

Originally, the matter was over, but the Cao family felt that Cao Youzong was the one who saved people, and the educated youth just stood on the shore and watched, so why should he also get money?

Besides, if he hadn't done such a bad thing, his child wouldn't have almost died. He should have sent the money to the Cao family.

Cao Youzong was unwilling to do so. After all, the other person had saved his life. Without him, he and the child would have sunk to the bottom of the water.

Besides, it was just a misunderstanding at the time. He went to save people voluntarily in order to clear his suspicion.

But the Cao family refused to give in and kept going to the entrance of the educated youth site to shout and curse.

The two sides argued for more than a month, and the village stepped in to mediate, and finally asked the educated youth to pay half of the thank-you fee to the Cao family.

The educated youth were unhappy and felt that they were treated unfairly. They were outraged and accused the villagers of ganging up to exclude and bully them.

They also called on educated youth from other villages to go to the Educated Youth Office to file complaints, causing great distress to the village cadres.

Giving them a few easy jobs was the only way to quell this small-scale unrest. At the same time, he blamed the Cao family and arranged for their children to do heavy work.

As for the wealthy businessman, he had long ago left the mainland by ship and had no connection with the village anymore.

It was early February and He Ruixue was packing her spring clothes.

Nowadays, clothing is extremely polarized. Young people can't help but imitate the styles in movies, revealing their strong personalities.

The colors became richer from black, blue and gray, the sleeves became shorter and shorter, and the trouser legs became wider, already having the prototype of bell-bottom pants.

However, she still likes loose and comfortable clothes. She wears Lenin suits at work and casual clothes after work.

Even during pregnancy, I bought a lot of beautiful clothes. Because I couldn't wear them at the time, I developed a revenge consumption mentality. Just seeing the clothes there can make people feel good.

The consequence of her lack of restraint is that nearly a quarter of her wardrobe is now new clothes.

Today He Xiaojie went back to her parents' home and kept complaining to her that she hadn't bought new clothes for several months.

Only after becoming a householder did I realize how difficult life is. Even a match costs money.

It’s not that Wen Jie asked her to pay, but she checked the household accounts and found that the expenses were too high, so she subconsciously cut down on what she thought were unnecessary expenses and saved the money as a family reserve fund.

In fact, the bulk of the expenses are on Wenpei's medicine, which is imported medicine and is very effective. Apart from being expensive, it has no other disadvantages.

She couldn't stop him from buying the medicine or changing it, because then wouldn't she be a murderer for money?

He Xiaojie is a soft-hearted person and would never do such a thing. Besides, she feels sorry for her sensible sister-in-law. Every time Wen Pei falls ill, she takes care of him around the clock.

The relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law is getting closer and closer.

"Aunt, Wen Jie's salary is not bad, but he pays for all the household expenses, plus Xiao Pei's medicine. It's hard for him to save 200 yuan a year."

The last time they got married, the gift money included two large items, which almost emptied out half of his family's savings.

He Xiaojie also said that she wanted to take part of her salary for household expenses, but was decisively rejected.

Wen Jie insisted that supporting the family was a man's job, and let her use the money she earned as she pleased, without having to put herself in a difficult position or worry about household matters.

He Xiaojie was not happy about being supported by someone, but instead felt uneasy.

"I don't think he values ​​my salary. Even though it's my own family, I eat and use other people's money all day long, and I always feel uneasy."

Ultimately, it's the feeling of unworthiness that's at work.

If you don't give anything in return, you cannot feel at ease enjoying what others give you.

In other words, you should be grateful to the person who brought you the favor.

He Ruixue glanced at her and said, "Who cooks in your family?"

"Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's Xiao Pei. Wen Jie is so busy at work that he has to squeeze out time for meals."

Not to mention going to the stove to cook.

"Buying groceries?"

"Xiao Pei, I have to go to work early in the morning and can't buy fresh ones."

"This isn't difficult. You give the money to Xiao Pei and let her use your money to buy food. Then his money can be used to buy food and for other expenses."

He Xiaojie thought about it and found that it was indeed a good idea. "Okay, I'll try it when I get back. Thank you, aunt. I knew you would have a solution."

Turning her eyes, she set her sights on the several large wardrobes where He Ruixue's clothes for each season were placed separately.

"Auntie, you can't wear all these clothes anyway. We are about the same size, I'm a little shorter than you, so why don't you give me some of your old clothes that you don't wear anymore?"

He Ruixue nodded nonchalantly, her fingertips running across clothes of different textures and colors.
