Chapter 29 There's nothing wrong with this
Yu Yaoyang and Hao Wang drank until almost ten o'clock. If Rutang didn't have to set up a stall tomorrow, they would have continued drinking.
On the way back, Hao Mei sat on the back seat of the bicycle, Yu Yaoyang pushed her, Rutang held Hao Mei's crutches, and the three of them headed towards Dali Village.
Along the way, Yu Yaoyang and Rutang were chatting about this and that without any specific topic. Yu Yaoyang was a talkative person and could make Rutang laugh with just a few words.
Hao Mei secretly observed Yu Yaoyang. Yu Yaoyang's performance tonight was beyond Hao Mei's understanding.
She could see that this boy really wanted to marry her daughter and was really good to Rutang.
After walking for a while, Yu Yaoyang would stop, saying that he was tired and needed to rest. In fact, Hao Mei knew that he was worried that Rutang would be tired.
What surprised Hao Mei even more was her daughter's attitude towards Yaoyang. She was not afraid of Yu Yaoyang at all, and the two of them had endless things to say to each other. Occasionally, she looked at Yu Yaoyang with affectionate eyes. Hao Mei knew at a glance that her daughter was sincere.
This realization made Hao Mei feel mixed emotions and uneasy.
Rutang knew that her mother was worried about her, and she couldn't convince her with words for the time being.
It takes time to change a person's inherent cognition. Even if she said a thousand good things about Yu Yaoyang, it would be better for her mother to see it with her own eyes. There would be a chance in the future.
Yu Yaoyang sent them home. Rutang didn't even have time to talk to her mother. She was so tired after a busy day that she fell asleep as soon as she got home, washed up.
When Chen Fu was away, both mother and daughter were very happy, and Hao Mei slept soundly.
The next day at three o'clock in the morning, Rutang got up. Haomei was still sleeping. She didn't call her, but tiptoed out with the basket on her back.
When the flashlight flashed, he saw a person squatting next to the firewood pile at the door. He was so scared that he almost dropped the flashlight. His first reaction was: "A weasel has entered the village!"
When the weasel comes into the village, it likes to squat next to the firewood pile, waiting for an opportunity to steal chickens.
I heard a voice pinching his nose coming from the direction of the firewood pile: "I am Wong Tai Sin! Come over here, little girl, let me take a few bites!"
Rutang recognized Yu Yaoyang's voice and was so angry that he grabbed a corn stalk from the firewood pile and hit him hard.
"Are you Biaozi? Who are you trying to scare here?"
"Hahaha!" Yu Yaoyang laughed heartily, feeling proud of his successful prank.
"Why are you running out instead of sleeping at home?" Ru Tang didn't expect him to get up so early.
She wanted him to sleep a little longer, so she didn't mention the time she would get up early to go to the beach, and he didn't ask. Unexpectedly, he had planned to wait for her here.
"You dreamed that you missed me and cried, so here I am," he said in a deliberately gangster tone, and took the basket she was carrying and carried it himself.
It was obvious that he didn't want her to be too tired, but he had to find such an excuse.
The two went to the beach and, not surprisingly, saw a lot of people.
The news that the production team was going to be disbanded this year was widely reported. Due to the reduction in grain production, everyone was in a tight spot.
The news of Rutang collecting seafood yesterday has spread throughout the village. After hearing about it, all the young girls and wives want to come and try their luck.
Seeing Rutang and Yu Yaoyang coming together, someone immediately surrounded them and asked, "Rutang, are you still collecting seafood today?"
"We're still buying it at yesterday's price, but the quantity we need is limited, so each stall may only need a few kilograms."
Rutang had said it first, her business was small and sales were limited, she wouldn't be able to sell even several hundred kilograms given to her by so many people at once.
A few kilograms of food per family costs a few cents. For most people, this is free money and they are very happy.
But some people were unhappy and grumbled quietly: "Yesterday, you collected more than 10 or 20 kilograms from Yingzi and Dongzi's families, but why is it that ours is only a few kilograms? People are different now that they have money."
The last sentence is so infuriating. In the village, if you say someone is “rich”, it is considered sarcastic and means that the other person looks down on you.
"It's up to you whether you want to work or not. You're begging for food and yet you still complain about it being rotten! It's none of your business whether I'm rich or not!" Yu Yaoyang didn't care about that and just retorted back.
The person he was confronting was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She probably didn't expect Yu Yaoyang to speak, and she stood there speechless for a moment.
Actually, this woman has some relationship with Rutang. She is the mother of Rutang's daughter-in-law. She thought she could use this relationship to insult Rutang, but she didn't expect Yu Yaoyang to stand up directly.
Most people would have left long ago after being humiliated, but this middle-aged woman was thick-skinned and stayed to dig clams. Seeing that Yu Yaoyang and Rutang were far away from her, she pulled the girl next to her and whispered to her.
"Yingzi, do you think Jie Liuzi and Rutang are living together? Otherwise, why did they come here together? Even though they are an engaged couple, haven't they got their marriage certificate yet?"
"Aunt Six, you and I came here together. Are we living together? Be careful not to let Yu Yaoyang hear us." Yingzi didn't want to agree with what Aunt Six said.
"You just made a little money from her, she can't be bribed by that, right?" Aunt Six was unhappy.
"I'm not speaking up for Rutang just because she bought my seafood yesterday. I just think Rutang is different from what people in the village say. She's a good girl."
Yingzi used to think that Rutang was a little arrogant. She relied on the fact that she was a high school student and didn't talk to the villagers. But after meeting her yesterday, she found that Rutang was a very friendly girl. She was quiet before because she was shy and shy, but now that she is getting married, she talks more.
"You were bought by her small favors. Haha, what good life can a woman who marries a street urchin have? I think she will be beaten sooner or later." Aunt Six continued to be sour.
Yingzi didn't like what she said and ran away with the basket.
"Bah, you unlucky guy who married a sickly woman. Just hang out with Chen Rutang. Sooner or later you will be like her, getting beaten every day." Aunt Liu muttered softly at Yingzi's back.
Not far away, Yu Yaoyang folded his arms and squinted his eyes to look in the direction of Aunt Liu.
"What are you looking at?" Ru Tang looked up and saw this scene and asked curiously.
"I see a dark cloud over that gossipy woman's head. I'm afraid she's going to be plagued by bad luck." Yu Yaoyang said grimly.
"Ah? Why can't I see it?" Rutang looked for a long time but couldn't see where the black cloud was.
"I'll use a stone to smash her head, and she'll be in trouble. I see she's talking nonsense, so she must have farted badly."
Yu Yaoyang had been staring at Aunt Six for a while. He saw the gossipy woman gossiping with others and glancing at his future wife with a sly look. This look was too familiar to him.
That's what the gossips in the village said when they talked about him behind his back.
"Why are you hitting her? She has the mouth and she can say whatever she wants."
"That hand is on my body, I can hit it if I want!"
Uh, Rutang was speechless for a moment. It seemed that what he said... was not wrong.
