"Lily, do you want to come to Beijing with me? The boss said the people who are coming to pick us up are arriving soon, and we can't afford to be late."
“Yes, of course I’ll go, Zhaodi, oh no, Yingchun, thank you. Wait here, I’ll go pack with Ping’an right away.”
Chen Li was overjoyed.
Finally, we can go back to the city.
Although she felt that she could live anywhere as long as she was with her husband and daughter, she wanted to provide her children with a better living environment as they grew up.
She couldn't rely on her family, and her father-in-law controlled the quota for returning to the city. He would rather give the quota to someone else than to her, fearing that she would abandon her husband and daughter.
From a young age, my parents taught me to be kind, to befriend others and not to do evil, and that good deeds will be rewarded.
Now we've finally made it through.
The Zhao family divided their property but did not separate their courtyards; each of the three branches had its own room.
Zhao Ping'an was from the second wife's family, and the first and third wives' families lived next door to him, so they naturally heard this astonishing news.
The eldest son and his wife were both farmers, and they had little interest in such things except for envy. The third wife was also an educated youth sent to the countryside. Different people have different fates. She was jealous of her sister-in-law and then her sister-in-law. She was twisted and sarcastic.
"Second sister-in-law, have you forgotten that our father-in-law is the village chief? We need his permission to leave the village."
"Can the people that He Zhaodi, who was abandoned by a man, bring be reliable? You actually believed her empty promises."
"She said her aunt's job was gone, and that's it? Use your brain! Would someone with that much power personally come to pick up He Zhaodi? Who does she think she is?"
Chen Li paused, remembering the key point.
"Yingchun, we haven't abolished the introduction letter pass here yet. Where are you going to get an introduction letter?"
Song Yingchun pushed her into the house, "The boss didn't say he wanted this. We're taking a plane, so we don't need to buy tickets. Don't worry about her. Go pack your things and don't keep the boss waiting."
The third wife scoffed, "Second sister-in-law, He Zhaodi is just a country bumpkin who doesn't understand. You're from the city, don't you understand either?"
"Airplanes? Do ordinary people even get to ride in those? They must be scammers..."
Rumble~~~
A roar came from overhead, and the helicopter hovered directly in the air before slowly landing in the open space in front of the Zhao family's house.
"Shishi, are you ready?"
"Dad, wait for three more people."
"OK."
The third wife's heart was pounding.
There really was an airplane; He Zhaodi wasn't lying.
The newcomer was dressed in an upright manner and had an extraordinary air about him; he was clearly a high-ranking official.
She immediately changed her tune, "Second sister-in-law, Zhao Di, please put in a good word for me and ask if I can come along too. I don't know anyone here, and we good sisters can look after each other."
"No need." The two said in unison, smiled at each other, and went into the second room hand in hand.
Shishi also said sarcastically, "I don't like you. I only draw my pancakes for people I find pleasing to the eye. You have an ugly face and an ugly heart. You are not worthy of my pancakes."
Second wife: ......
Chen Li asked her daughter's opinion and brought out all the toys for her to share with her new friend.
Even though they had seen the exquisite and diverse dolls of later generations, the younger ones were also attracted by the novel toys and instantly started playing together.
"I like this, can I have it?"
Xiao Liu held a little doll dressed in a grass skirt, completely enamored with it. The little doll was holding a net and trying to catch butterflies, which had already been caught in the net.
It had a smile on its face, as happy as when it secretly applied face cream.
"Sure, you can choose whatever you want. They're all yours. Aren't my parents amazing?"
"Yeah, he's better than my dad."
The disliked patriarch: ...Friendship is fine, but why bring up comparisons and belittling?
The plane's arrival in the village was a once-in-a-century event, and the villagers all came to see the novelty.
The village chief ran back, panting heavily.
The second wife was unwilling to accept this and was the first to complain.
"Dad, Aunt and Zhao Tiejun lost their jobs and transferred them to Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. The plane is here to pick them up and He Zhaodi to go to Beijing. Don't issue a letter of introduction."
If she can't get the treatment, Chen Li shouldn't expect it either.
