Chapter 466 Strange Psychology
Lin Xia did not mention this matter to Lu Yuxiu. She already knew the man's attitude, and the opinions of outsiders could not affect her at all.
Lin Xia thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Yang Hongmei would come to visit the next morning and bring up the matter.
"What do you think Director Zhang means? Is it that we women can't make money outside?" Yang Hongmei endured it all night, and came to Lin Xia to complain the next day.
"She looked for you too?" Lin Xia was a little surprised that Director Zhang went to look for Yang Hongmei.
When Yang Hongmei heard this, she realized that she was not the first one. "She told me to take care of the family more and not ignore my husband and children. What do you think she meant by that?"
Lin Xia smiled and said, "It means you should not run outside and take good care of the family!"
"I've taken care of my child for more than ten years and I'm still not satisfied? The child doesn't need me to feed him anymore, and my husband is so busy that he's not home all day. How can I take care of him?" Yang Hongmei was so angry that she didn't know where to vent.
"Don't be angry. Why do you care what she says? Just don't take it to heart." Seeing that she was really angry, Lin Xia tried to persuade her calmly, saying that it was not worth getting angry over such a small matter.
Yang Hongmei was surprised by Lin Xia's calm expression, "Why aren't you angry at all?"
"Isn't it your own fault that you are so angry?" Lin Xia said calmly, "I guess it's not just this matter, there are other things as well."
As she spoke, Lin Xia told Yang Hongmei the gossip that had been circulating in the family compound.
"What? You said you ran away and Captain Lu was abandoned by you? Your family broke up?" Yang Hongmei was shocked when she heard this gossip for the first time.
"So on the day we came back, you were deliberately so close to your husband Lu in the family compound?" Yang Hongmei recalled the scene that day when Lin Xia's sudden action made everyone stunned.
Lin Xia smiled and nodded, "Then I have to debunk the rumor!"
"Your trick is really effective!" Yang Hongmei seemed to be inspired, "Hehe, I'll try this with Old Wu, so she won't come to me and say something nonsense."
Yang Hongmei no longer agrees with her previous ideas, such as that women should take care of the rear. She thinks the current situation is just right!
She no longer has to dislike Old Wu at home, nor does she have to nag the children every day. She can also make money to change the quality of life at home. No matter how you think about it, this is a good thing.
"I guess she's still a little worried." Lin Xia thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe that day, the sisters-in-law in the family compound caught us and said they wanted to go out and make money together, and she was worried that we would lead them astray."
Yang Hongmei thought about it and felt that it made sense, "It's possible."
"But even if we bring him, we won't have any jobs!" Yang Hongmei thought this was impossible.
"We can only do things within our capabilities. We are still exploring on our own!" Lin Xia really had never thought of taking anyone out.
"That's right." Yang Hongmei nodded in agreement. "If you ask me, they should be brave enough to go out and try on their own. Maybe they will have a chance."
Lin Xia didn't say anything. Only a few people have this opportunity, and not everyone has the courage to change.
They are great, devoting their entire lives to their families, but they are also small, so small that their only focus is the small territory of their family.
So what Lin Xia said yesterday was not just to mock Director Zhang, but also to tell her that instead of just staring at them and persuading them, it would be better to do more practical things.
Although the literacy class doesn't seem to be very effective, if it can change one or two people, it will be much more useful than her endless persuasion.
"It seems that I still have to keep a low profile, otherwise those people will also want to go outside and blame me." Yang Hongmei was really scared after hearing this.
"Am I right about making money quietly? It's not wrong to be low-key in life." Lin Xia said seriously.
Yang Hongmei was convinced and took Lin Xia's words to heart.
When the two of them went out again, Lin Xia found that Yang Hongmei was wearing old clothes and had perfectly blended in with the women in the family compound.
People were a little curious about her change and asked her why she didn't wear those fashionable clothes anymore.
Yang Hongmei waved her hand and said that she only bought those two sets of clothes to look good. She couldn't wear those clothes every day. She wouldn't be able to work well with them. Those shoes looked nice, but they were actually very tiring and her feet would break.
Once these words were spoken, the sour taste was diluted a lot. Although some people may not believe it, most people do.
In their opinion, the clothes look nice, but they are really not practical.
So the women in the family compound, seeing that even Lin Xia was dressed in ordinary clothes, seemed to have regained their confidence, and did not feel that they were any different from others, and lived their lives happily and freely as usual.
Lin Xia didn't mind what they said. It was so easy for her to stay at home and not have to work, so of course she wanted to do whatever made her feel comfortable.
She took out the sewing machine that hadn't been used for a long time and made several comfortable home clothes for herself and Lu Yuxiu, but the children didn't like them.
With this change, if nothing else, at least the unstable atmosphere in the family compound calmed down and everyone returned to their normal state.
Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei no longer had to worry about being stopped when they went out, and Director Zhang never came to their house again.
Just when Lin Xia thought she could spend the New Year in peace and tranquility, another uninvited guest came to her door.
Every household was busy preparing delicious food. Lin Xia made some extra, exchanged it with Yang Hongmei, and then gave some to the neighbors.
What surprised Lin Xia was that Han Wei also sent her some food she made. Since she went to Guangcheng to study, she had been in contact with Han Wei less and less.
But Lu Yuxiu had a good relationship with Song Yu, so Lin Xia was not surprised by her behavior. She thought that since the other party had sent something to her, she should return something in return.
I don’t know if this action gave her a signal, but she came to visit Lin Xia and chat for several days in a row.
She couldn't possibly chase people out. She was working and chatting at the same time anyway, so it was nice to have someone to talk to.
That day, Lin Xia was making clothes for the children at home. She saw a piece of cloth with nice patterns in the store and thought of making two skirts for An An and Ning Ning to wear.
Han Wei looked at Lin Xia skillfully operating the sewing machine and said enviously, "Your craftsmanship is really good! I want to learn from you and make one for my Yunyun."
Song Yu had been feeling unhappy ever since she failed to give birth to a daughter in her first pregnancy. Later, she finally had a daughter as she wished, and her name was Song Yun.
Lin Xia smiled, "I just do it casually, I don't have any skills."
Han Wei exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, how can it be done casually! If we talk about ingenuity and skill, you are one of the best in the family quarters before, not to mention the current one."
"You praise me too much. There are many talented people, and you are also talented." Lin Xia sensed the admiration and a hint of flattery in Han Wei's words.
