Chapter 352 Do you really want to stay in the village for the rest of your life?
Xia Liang didn't care. Those who were watching the excitement saw that Liu Zhaodi was taken away, so they all went home.
Everyone was discussing the matter heatedly along the way.
"Brother Yang San is really pitiful, finding a woman like this!"
"That's right! I heard that his son cried until his voice became hoarse that afternoon!"
"Marrying an unvirtuous wife brings disaster to the whole family!"
"Am I the only one who thinks Xia Liang's medical skills are really amazing? Not to mention the last time he saved Da Shuang, this time so many people were poisoned. I heard that someone from the town hospital called and asked Xia Liang to come over to help!"
Some people also found it unbelievable. Xia Liang had been in the countryside for two years. In the past, they only knew that Xia Liang worked hard, but many people didn't know that he had medical skills.
"That should be the case! I heard from Aunt Li that she won't be staying in our village for long. I heard that she will go find her man after the college entrance examination next month!"
This person has a relatively good relationship with Aunt Li and knows more information.
"Ah, didn't they say her man doesn't want her anymore?" Some people also heard the rumors on the street and still found it hard to believe.
"Who did you hear that from? I heard from Aunt Li that when Ning Zhiyuan left, he also wanted to take Xia Liang with him, but his troops were quite far away from us. It took five or six days on the road, and we had to take both a train and a car. The journey was very bumpy."
"Xia Liang is still pregnant with two children. Her husband would definitely not be happy about such a long journey, so she will stay here for another month and go back after the college entrance examination!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked envious: "If Xia Liang follows him, won't she become an official's wife?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where are the wives of officials these days? They are called soldiers and are military wives!"
Everyone was talking at once, but their tone was mostly filled with envy.
Of course there were people who were jealous, but at this moment, no one dared to show it.
There were a few young wives who looked to be in their twenties. They gathered together and whispered, "In the past, I thought Xia Liang was a fool, but now she is the only one who is doing the best among the educated youth!"
"Who said that? Look, her sister Xia Jing is doing pretty well."
Another woman disagreed:
"How can Xia Jing be as successful as Xia Liang?"
Seeing that the woman who had just spoken was about to refute, the woman hurriedly said: "I am not saying this nonsense. Look at what Xia Liang is like now. She studies at home all day long. She can be considered as taking care of the baby. But what's the use of this? We also know that the college entrance examination has been resumed this year, but whether you can pass it is still unknown. I say that no one in our village will pass it!"
"Xia Jing is different. She doesn't waste her time on useless things. Instead, she makes clothes. I heard that she is busy every day, working from morning to night. I think she can make a lot of money at the end of the day! Who do you think is more powerful between the two of them?"
The women were not very old to begin with, and some of them had even gone to Xia Jing's house to see that she was only doing sewing work. Although they were envious, there was nothing they could do!
Firstly, their family could not afford to spend two hundred yuan to buy them a sewing machine, and secondly, even if they had money, they could not exchange it for industrial coupons.
Now, without an industrial stamp, you can’t buy a sewing machine. As for making it by hand, who can’t do it? People make clothes to make them look good and beautiful, otherwise who would spend money to hire someone to do it!
Those made by hand are definitely not as straight as those made on a sewing machine, so they can only envy and be jealous.
"I think Xia Liang is short-sighted. You said Ning Zhiyuan bought her a sewing machine out of kindness, but she sold it to Yang Caiyun!"
They had heard about the sewing machine in Aunt Li's house a long time ago, and several of them were so jealous that their eyes turned red. They also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately Xia Liang didn't even ask and directly gave it to Yang Caiyun.
Yang Caiyun has also been taking on more jobs recently. She earns more from making clothes than Xia Jing. She is estimated to have almost made back the money she earned from the sewing machine!
Several women have been jealous for a long time, but unfortunately they can't do anything!
"We are sisters!"
"What sisters? We are not even related!"
Yang Hongmei clenched her hands tightly when she heard the conversation of the women. She didn't understand what Xia Liang was thinking. Why didn't she make money by herself with the sewing machine? It seemed that Xia Liang made a lot of money by making clothes some time ago!
What's even more abominable is that Xia Liang didn't even tell me about this great way to make money.
In the past, when they were at the educated youth camp, they were at least friends, right?
She also wanted to make money by making clothes, but she didn't have a sewing machine, so she could only watch helplessly. Fortunately, she was pregnant now. Yang Hongmei was now looking forward to Zhou Hao getting a quota to return to the city as soon as possible, so that she could leave here as soon as possible.
She didn't want to stay in this shabby village for a moment.
"Hongmei, how have you been reviewing these days? The exam is coming up soon, are you confident?" Xu Xin touched her belly. There was already a little life in her belly.
In fact, when she first got married, she didn't want children, she just wanted to follow the man to make a living.
She was relieved when the man found out last time, and she soon became pregnant.
When they heard the news, everyone in the family was overjoyed. Xu Xin was also extremely happy, but she didn't expect that she would be happy for only a few days before she heard the news that the college entrance examination would be resumed!
Xu Xin felt that God was playing a huge joke on her. If she had known that she would be reinstated in the college entrance examination, she would never have chosen to get pregnant at such a critical moment.
Marrying a peasant was a last resort, but if she could get into college, Xu Xin didn't want to miss the opportunity.
What's the point of being a country girl in the countryside? If I had known this...
Xu Xin felt that the little thing in her belly was a bit of an eyesore, but she didn't dare show it at home, especially around her man.
Her man is an extremely sensitive person. If he knew, Xu Xin wouldn't know how to face him.
"I've been reading a lot lately, and I'm feeling a bit unsure! How about you?"
Yang Hongmei smiled bitterly. She had never been good at studying before, and now no one was helping her. She was a little jealous of Li Qiang.
"I'm almost like you!"
Xu Xin lowered her head with a defeated look on her face! She had dreamed many times before that she would be able to resume the college entrance examination as soon as possible, so that she could study hard and get into college, leaving the countryside for the city.
But when she did recover, she managed to buy some high school books with great difficulty. Although they were not complete, there were still many things she didn't understand.
Moreover, at home, her parents-in-law looked at her strangely. Even her husband, although he did not object, was not particularly supportive. In fact, she could understand what her family meant.
She was originally an educated youth. If she was admitted to a university, she would definitely go there. What would happen after that? They were afraid that she would not come back or that they would not want her man anymore. How could that be possible? In the past few years in Yangliu Village, she was grateful to her man for taking care of her. She was not the kind of person who would be ungrateful.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you really want to live your whole life with a peasant in the village?" Yang Hongmei looked at Xu Xin's belly. In fact, her child was not much smaller than hers.
