Chapter 24 What does the person hit by the bicycle have to do with me, Yu Yaoyang?
Fat Lady shares her experience in modifying a bicycle.
Someone was collecting abandoned bicycles. She was curious and asked what they were doing. The man casually said that he was riding a donkey instead. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Fat Sister started to think about it.
"Isn't this thing just half a bicycle welded together with a few pipes? We can make it too! I went to Lao Zhang's workplace to learn welding, borrowed a welding machine and took the pipes, and I figured it out in a week!"
Rutang raised both thumbs up. She felt that raising only one thumb was not enough respect. Just based on her sister-in-law's vigorous spirit, Rutang didn't believe that she would not become rich in the future.
Yu Yaoyang rode a donkey with Rutang to pull things. Rutang sighed: "My sister-in-law is very good."
"Are you attracted to her donkey-riding outfit?" Yu Yaoyang revealed the secret.
"I am indeed impressed by her craftsmanship, but what I admire more is her positive spirit. In her, I see the drive of northern women."
Rutang made no secret of the fact that he was hardworking, strong-willed, independent, generous, and a little shrewd in a way that was not annoying. She really liked people with such personalities.
"Let me think about it for a few days. I can figure it out. It's not that difficult." Yu Yaoyang felt a little sour bubble bubbling in his heart when he heard her praising others like this.
Why doesn't she praise him?
"You have so many strengths that I can't praise you enough. But we should also keep an empty cup mentality, acknowledge the strengths of others, and constantly improve ourselves."
"What is the empty cup mentality?" Yu Yaoyang was curious.
"Once upon a time, there was a person who had great attainments in Buddhism who went to visit an old Zen master. The master's disciple received him, but he looked down on him and thought that the disciple was not worthy of talking to him. The old Zen master received him respectfully and kept pouring water for him. The water was full, but the old Zen master continued to pour. Brother Yaoyang, what do you think of this story?"
"When the old Zen master goes to the toilet, he might pee on his trouser legs."
“???” What kind of a weird answer is this? Ru Tang was confused.
"Look, the water is full, but it keeps pouring out. What does this mean? Your hands are not working properly. When you open the gate to release water, you might not be able to hold it straight, and there's a high chance that you'll wet your pants."
"Emma." Ru Tang held her forehead with her hand. She was wrong. She shouldn't have discussed philosophy with him.
"How about I imitate it for you? You see, his hands must be shaking..." Yu Yaoyang held the handlebars with one hand and began to imitate the shaking hands of an elderly person with the other hand.
"You don't have to imitate me!"
Rutang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the second half of the story.
"The man asked the Zen master, 'The water is already full, why are you still pouring it?' The Zen master replied, 'Since you think you have a high level of Buddhist attainments, why do you still come to me for advice?'"
This long string of words almost made her brain deprived of oxygen, and she didn't even have time to use punctuation marks!
"Why are you talking so fast?" Yu Yaoyang raised his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid I'll pause, so you make jokes and say nonsense." If you tell her something like the Zen master peed his pants again, she will really lose her defense.
"Hahaha, you're going to make me die of laughter."
"..." Rutang has lived with him for half her life, but still can't understand his strange sense of humor. It's obvious that he is very funny!
"I say this because I feel sorry for people like Aunt Wang. She herself doesn't have a very good life, but she looks down on farmers arrogantly."
"Are you angry because she looks down on farmers, or because she looks down on me?" Yu Yaoyang revealed the secret, and Rutang's face turned red.
You annoying guy, why are you so smart?
"Did you hear us talking?" Rutang asked. She remembered that he was not present when she was arguing with Aunt Wang.
"Do I need to listen? When we left, her face looked like it had been washed with water from a cesspool. It was horrible and smelly. And, since you, who has such a good temper, asked me to move immediately, it must be because she didn't speak human language."
Although Yu Yaoyang likes to tease Rutang, it doesn't mean that he is a careless man.
"Actually, I'm not a very gentle person..." Rutang blushed a little, "You didn't even ask why we were arguing, how do you know I was right?"
"Do you even need to ask? It's her fault that she made you unhappy. I married a wife, not a Buddha. If you don't like her, just scold her. If you can't scold her enough, come to me and I'll beat her up for you."
Yu Yaoyang clearly sided with his relatives instead of with justice. He didn't care who was right. He only cared whether his future daughter-in-law was happy.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Accountant Wang's home.
Aunt Wang was standing at the door, with her hands on her hips, yelling at her neighbors: "Rural people nowadays are getting more and more outrageous. If you were born in the countryside, you should just accept your fate and work on the land. If you don't work hard and just want to go to the city to make money, you're taking the capitalist route!"
Rutang could hear Aunt Wang's harsh voice from a distance. It seemed that she was feeling unbalanced after being criticized by Aunt Wang, so she went to tell the neighbors about her and Yu Yaoyang.
"Aunt Wang, why do you have such a strong opinion about farmers?" The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore when they heard her keep talking about "country people".
"My relatives in the countryside are very nice. They often send us vegetables. In recent years, many factories in the city have been in recession and cannot pay wages. People in the countryside have land to farm and have enough food and drink. Their lives are no worse than ours." Another neighbor couldn't stand it anymore.
Who doesn’t have a few relatives in the rural area? Going back a few generations, which family is not from the rural area?
When Aunt Wang saw that the neighbors were not on her side, she raised her voice.
"I hate farmers because my rural relatives are so outrageous. For example, my distant cousin married to the city. Her husband is a small boss in the workshop. He clearly arranged a job for her, but she refused to do it and had to pick up scraps when she had nothing to do after get off work. Isn't it shameful? Last time I saw her, she had a bunch of iron pipes and welded a broken car! She is just like the two rural people in my family. Sooner or later, she will be arrested! None of these rural people are good!"
Aunt Wang gritted her teeth. She got angry whenever she thought of that fat cousin.
When her husband was young, he almost got engaged to that cousin. Later, due to coincidence, the two of them did not get married. However, after so many years, her husband has never forgotten his cousin.
After my cousin moved to the city, her husband praised her intentionally or unintentionally, saying that my cousin knew how to live, raised a lot of chickens and ducks, and always had eggs that could not be eaten at home. She would share the leftover eggs with the neighbors, and it was said that she had a good relationship with people, so he asked Aunt Wang to learn from her.
"I wish the heavens would open their eyes and strike with thunder to kill these restless rural people! Ah!!!"
As soon as Aunt Wang finished speaking, Yu Yaoyang's bicycle hit her on the back.
The car was driven at a controlled speed and hit the victim slowly. The damage was not serious but the insult was great. Aunt Wang was frightened so much that she screamed and crashed into the wall.
The neighbors who were chatting with her were all dumbfounded.
The young man riding the bicycle was handsome, with a dimple on his face when he smiled, and the girl next to him was graceful and elegant. They were a perfect match.
"I'm sorry, my car is faster than God. Maybe it has its own ideas and wants to hit people who talk nonsense."
Yu Yaoyang spread his hands. What does the person hit by the bicycle have to do with him, Yu Yaoyang?
