Chapter 40 The First Friend



"Are you Jiang Baizhou's wife?" Wen Yun looked at him appraisingly, then added, "You look a good match."

"You...did you ever like Jiang Baizhou?"

"Haha." Wen Yun sneered at Song Jiayu's question and said bluntly, "I liked him in junior high school. There wasn't a single female student in the whole school who didn't like Jiang Baizhou."

Song Jiayu began to feel jealous, but she was not angry. If Jiang Baizhou's face were in modern times, he would definitely be a top male star. Even if he was not a star, he would be a heartthrob among the crowd. The younger the girls, the more likely they would be attracted to him. She had no control over it.

"Do you still like it now?"

Wen Yun shook his head: "That happened several years ago, and I already have someone I like."

Fortunately, this was not another Zhang Cuihua from Lushan Village. Song Jiayu had just heard the system’s reward reminder.

[Complete the task of answering Wen Yun's question and successfully check in with Wen Yun to receive a one-week Tailoring Skills Learning Card.]

Yoho!

Another special learning card.

I didn't expect that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Tianwen Lane.

Song Jiayu glanced at Wen Yun and continued, "Good luck to you. If nothing else, I'm leaving."

“???”

Wen Yun had really never seen such a person before. She was clearly eating melon seeds in the yard and watching a show, but now she ignored him and unlike other people, she didn't look at her with pity.

Haha, does Wen Yun need anyone’s pity?

Stop the person who is about to leave and ask, "Don't you want to know what happened to me?"

Song Jiayu's eyes lit up, and with the energy of eating melons, she took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, actually from the system warehouse, and asked, "Is it really possible?"

Wen Yun: “.”

"Would you like some melon seeds?" Song Jiayu asked with dimples on her cheeks and a sweet smile. Her crescent-shaped eyes made her even more appealing.

For the first time, Wen Yun felt that women were made of water. Maybe he was referring to Song Jiayu?

He coughed and nodded: "Eat."

All the troubles these days really made her want to find someone to talk to. Since she couldn't find people around her, she wanted to know from an outsider whether what she wanted to do was right or wrong.

"Let me first talk about my family. I'm the youngest daughter in the family. I have two older brothers and a married sister. My sister caught up with the factory's expansion in 1957 and became a factory worker. But my parents forced my sister to get married as soon as my second brother graduated from high school, leaving the job to my second brother."

"It's such a pity for your elder sister."

"I'm 20 years old this year. I didn't get into a technical secondary school or university after the college entrance examination. After graduation, thanks to advance notice from a classmate, I took the new employee assessment at the supply and marketing cooperative. I passed, but my parents forced me to give the job to my third brother."

"It's a pity for you... too."

Wen Yun glanced at him and asked, "Can you please listen carefully?"

Song Jiayu forced a smile on her face: "Sorry, I promise not to interrupt." In her previous life, she had posted too many cheesy comments on videos, so she couldn't help herself this time.

"They said I'm a daughter and will get married sooner or later and no longer be a member of the Wen family. If that's the case, then what's wrong with me choosing to marry Chang Shi?

Because of the grudges of the previous generation? Haha, it's just a quarrel, no one died. I had a scene today and my dad slapped me in the face.

I had an argument with them, and only then did I realize that it was not that I failed the exam. The university admission letter was sent to me, but my parents took it and tore it up directly.

Why yell at them angrily?

You know what they say?

Wen Yun's almond-shaped eyes once again filled with tears. This stubborn woman bit her lip and continued, "They say I'm just spilled water. Why should I be raised so well by someone else?

I would rather they give the reason that my family doesn’t have the money to send me to school, rather than thinking that I am getting a bargain for other families by going to school.

It's ridiculous! I worked so hard for three years in high school, even in the middle of winter when my hands and feet were frozen, I still insisted on getting up at 5 a.m. to memorize my lessons."

Having said that, Wen Yun looked at Song Jiayu who was eating melon seeds without saying a word.

quite a while.

She asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Song Jiayu pointed to her mouth.

"You are deliberately going against me. You don't say what I should say, and you interrupt me when I shouldn't." Wen Yun, who was in a very sad mood, was made to laugh by Song Jiayu.

Song Jiayu felt wronged, with a cunning look in her eyes, "How can you say that to me? It was you who told me not to speak~"

This tone, the moment the clip sounded, Wen Yun shuddered all over, an absolute reaction of a straight woman, and she even rubbed the "goose bumps" on her hands that didn't exist at all.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you speak normally?"

Song Jiayu nodded obediently, "Oh, I'll talk nicely. I don't think so either. I'll just tell you what I would do if I encountered such a bad thing. I only found out about the admission notice today, so it's too late to talk about it. But the work is a problem. I won't give it to them. If they force me, then I can just move to the staff dormitory. As long as I have no shame and they still have some, I will be invincible."

"Of course, doing this will be bad for my reputation, but it will only make it harder to find a partner. If that partner is always on the lookout for rumors, what good will that person do to me? It's not like I'm unemployed and can't support myself."

After saying that, Song Jiayu went to see Wen Yun.

The sad female comrade stared at her blankly, but her eyes seemed to be looking at the Wen Yun of the past.

"I wasn't strong enough back then, but I won't be anymore," Wen Yun said with a smile. That round face that looked blessed was filled with tenacity. He added, "Now that you've heard my secret, you're my friend. Do you have any more sunflower seeds?"

"Yes." Song Jiayu took out a handful of melon seeds and put them in Wen Yun's hand. "Okay, you are the first friend I made in Songshan County. I will treat you to some melon seeds."

"Next time when I get my salary, I'll treat you to a meal at a state-owned restaurant. I'm leaving now."

Wen Yun patted his butt and left casually.

A few days later, Song Jiayu learned from Aunt Cuihua that Wen Yun had quarreled with the Wen family, severed ties, and got married with the boy from the Chang family.

"Those two in the Wen family are really unkind. If a college student comes out of their family, it's like the ancient times when a child passed the imperial examination. My family has Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Baba. No matter which one passes the exam, we have to hang two strings of firecrackers and set up two tables to celebrate. The little girl is also miserable."

This is Aunt Cuihua’s feeling about Wen Yun’s incident.

Compared to the harsh curses of Old Lady Qian and Old Lady Wang in the compound, Aunt Cuihua's words are more pleasant to listen to. They are all women, and they have a hard life but still laugh at others' hardship. They are so unforgiving. Why not? Can't women forgive other women?

She didn't know that the bored old lady Qian had caused trouble again and instigated Gu's mother, who was taking care of Gu Siyi's son at home, to leave.

"Oh~ Xiao Gu's mother, it's still easier to be your daughter-in-law. I don't have to take care of the children myself, and I don't have to do any housework at all."
