"Alright, alright! I'll put in a good word for you..."
Every word and phrase of praise was heard by Mao Cuicui, prompting her to look into the room again.
Even though the door was closed, it couldn't hide her burning gaze.
This is a wonderful family to marry into.
Zhao Laosi is a college student, has a decent appearance, and a secure job. Apart from being a little dark-skinned, he has no other flaws. He knows how to make money, and so does his mother. As long as they can make money, what does it matter if they are lacking in other areas?
Zhao Laosi bumped into her just now and blushed. Does that mean he's interested in her?
Mao Cuicui was secretly delighted.
She's twenty-two this year, but not many people have proposed to her. Isn't this perfect matchmaker waiting for her?
But……
Mao Cuicui looked up and saw several aunties surrounding Mao Daxing's mother, constantly asking about Zhao Laosi. Her eyes gradually darkened. Why are there so many people interested in Zhao Laosi?
No, she had to think of a solution.
Mao Cuicui, having come up with some idea, glanced gloomily into the room and hurriedly left.
This scene was witnessed by Ye Yun from behind the window.
The fourth brother behind her was still complaining to Zhao Erling about the aunties outside, looking distressed. "Sister, after seeing you this time, I'm never coming to your village again. I feel like they're going to eat me alive."
Zhao Erling covered her mouth and laughed, "Who can blame me when my brother is so outstanding? Everyone wants to marry their daughter to you."
Her eyes were full of love as she looked at her fourth brother. She was very proud and honored to be the older sister to see her younger brother so outstanding.
Moreover, the fourth son didn't have money to pay his tuition, so he used her dowry money, which added a significant chapter to his life and gave her a particularly important sense of participation.
Instead of comforting him, his older sister made fun of him, which made the fourth brother shake his head in even more despair.
He looked up and saw Ye Yun by the window, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
Ye Yun then came to her senses.
"It's nothing." She smiled and glanced at Zhao Erling. "Second Sister, are you familiar with that girl who just went out?"
"who?"
"The one that the fourth brother just bumped into."
"Oh, you mean Mao Cuicui?" Zhao Erling clicked her tongue, seemingly thinking of something unpleasant, and said with a tone of disdain, "You should stay away from her. She's no good, and her whole family is no good."
"Oh?" Ye Yun became interested.
The fourth sister panicked for a moment, "Sister, I just bumped into her."
"It's alright, it's your second sister's place, she wouldn't dare cause trouble." Zhao Erling gave the fourth brother a reassuring look.
Ye Yun said, "Second sister, could you tell me more about Mao Cuicui?"
"sure."
Zhao Erling didn't hide anything and immediately told the whole story of Mao Cuicui's family's shameful deeds.
Mao Cuicui's family has been the subject of all sorts of infamy.
Her grandmother stole people's food.
Her father kicked the widow's door.
Her mother beat her until she was blind and mute.
Her brother dug up a grave for someone who had no descendants.
She herself was not to be outdone, and her main selling point was that she was ugly but had beautiful dreams.
Ambitious beyond measure, lazy and gluttonous, all he thinks about is finding a rich husband.
At the end of 1977 or 1988, the "Down to the Countryside Movement" for educated youth ended, and the educated youth returned to the city in batches. Mao Cuicui seized this opportunity and insisted on marrying a male educated youth, saying that she would go to the city with him to enjoy a good life. Shamelessly, she followed the male educated youth to work in the cornfield.
It was later discovered that she had slept in the cornfield with more than one educated youth...
A few years ago, there was no crime of hooliganism.
However, poor conduct is also a major taboo.
During that period, Mao Cuicui was dragged out for criticism and struggle sessions for seven consecutive days, and then locked up after the sessions.
Ironically, all the male educated youths who had gone through the cornfields with her secretly left while she was being criticized and imprisoned.
He didn't even say hello to her.
After that, Mao Cuicui's reputation was ruined. Apart from widowers or old bachelors who were still unable to find a wife, no one dared to propose to her.
Zhao Erling also said that Mao Cuicui's grandmother almost killed someone by stealing their grain.
That year, the village suffered a famine, and every household went hungry. In winter, even the wild vegetables on the mountain were all dug up.
A family in the village had just had a baby. Fearing they wouldn't be able to raise the child, they sold all their possessions to buy a bag of millet, hoping it would feed the baby.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Mao Cuicui's grandmother took it away.
The mother had no milk, and her child was crying from hunger. The poor mother knelt at the door of Mao Cuicui's breastfeeding room, kowtowing repeatedly, begging her to have pity on her child and return the millet.
Mao Cuicui's grandmother just kept the door closed and didn't say a word.
The mother couldn't afford to raise her child and was watching him starve to death. She planned to jump into the river with her child in her arms. Fortunately, several respected elders in the village couldn't bear to see her like this. They sold their coffins and bought a pound of millet to save the mother and child.
Zhao Erling gritted her teeth; having just given birth herself, she felt a deep connection with that mother.
"That's the life-saving food that people use to give birth and raise their children. She could steal it with a guilty conscience. That old woman who could never afford four dishes in her entire life deserves to have five children, only one of them died! It's all retribution!"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. "I see."
"By the way, why are you asking these questions?" Zhao Erling finally realized and asked curiously.
Ye Yun smiled but did not answer her question.
Instead, he looked at the fourth brother.
The fourth brother was still immersed in what Zhao Erling had told him, muttering to himself, "How can there be such a despicable person..."
"Fourth brother," Ye Yun called softly.
"Huh?" The fourth brother snapped out of his daze and looked up at her hastily. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
