Because Wang Sibing invited people to perform shadow puppetry, the people in Hebian Village gathered outside the brigade headquarters in the afternoon to watch the shadow puppetry and did not go to work.
Chen Changlin couldn't tell whether he was happy or depressed. He just pulled Wang Xiangdong aside and asked, "Is this okay now?"
"Of course you can. Don't people in the city still watch movies?" Wang Xiangdong would of course say no problem.
"That's true." Chen Changlin nodded.
But, isn’t it too high-profile for Wang Sibing to hold a full-moon banquet and invite people to perform opera?
"He's probably doing this for Yue's family to see. He never went to school, but he married a high school graduate and even found him a job, so he can go to work in the city. When their first child is born, it's unbelievable..."
Wang Xiangdong could more or less guess what Chen Changlin was thinking, so he analyzed it, but he didn't say anything else. He just raised his chin at Chen Changlin.
You know!
Sure enough, Chen Changlin's brows were no longer furrowed as tightly.
The other party has money and it is not against any policy, so he really has nothing to say.
After a long while, he muttered, "The Yue family has found a good one, that's good."
Wang Xiangdong smiled and said, "That's right."
You are jealous, so when you are arranging a marriage for your son, you choose a girl from a wealthy family, and you won't marry her unless she is from a good family.
Not only they were talking about it, but the audience also grumbled a lot, and the women were more concerned about the longevity lock. Well, most of them were gloating and making fun of Chen Meiru and Zhang Xiu'e.
Chen Meiru and Zhang Xiu'e couldn't even go to watch the shadow play, and had to help clear the table and wash the dishes.
"Miss Zhao is so generous. A silver lock. Wow..." Shi Haiyan said with a sigh.
I said it on purpose for Chen Meiru and the others to hear.
She wasn't just being sarcastic. "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, are you really regretting this now? You thought you were pushing someone out to get you a burden, a nuisance, but you never imagined you were pushing someone out to get you a gold ingot."
"Third sister-in-law, what you said is not right. When did we kick her out? She just lives with her grandparents. We provide her with food and money to support her." Zhang Xiu'e corrected righteously.
"Oh my, sister-in-law, you are so shameless." Shi Haiyan snorted sarcastically, "Nowadays, when it comes to shamelessness, I can no longer compare to you, sister-in-law."
Zhang Xiu'e gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, "Third sister-in-law, have you forgotten that when our father wanted to send Zhao girl to school, you made a scene and even asked your family to come over. Your father scolded you and sent you back in disgrace."
Shi Haiyan: “……!”
"Hmph! So what? I get my share of the soda, but you don't. My two sons study with her, and my Weiguo even skipped a grade, saving a year's tuition."
Zhang Xiu’e: “……!”
The two of them stabbed each other with knives, which made Chen Meiru, who always pretended to be dead and kept silent, feel extremely superior.
Although she was not allowed to drink soda, she never made any trouble, and Wang Xingwen skipped a grade, saving a year's tuition. Most importantly, Wang Zhaozhao was born from her belly!
Even if Wang Zhaozhao has a childish temper now and doesn't recognize her as her mother, she will definitely be fine in the future. She is her mother, and that cannot be changed no matter what.
Wang Zhaozhao didn't know that three women were performing a drama here. She came back because she was thirsty and wanted to take her enamel cup to fill a glass of water to take with her. As a result, Xie Ailian grabbed her ear and dragged her into the house.
"Grandma, I'm watching a show..."
"What show are you going to watch? Explain it to me first."
Xie Ailian pushed her away, frowning and putting her hands on her hips.
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes flickered, and he asked with a wry smile, "What do you want to tell me?"
"What do you think? Didn't you give all your money to me? Where did you get this silver lock?" Xie Ailian didn't give her a chance to fool around.
"Of course I bought the silver lock, hahaha. If you want to steal it, there's nowhere for me to steal it." Wang Zhaozhao laughed and tried his best to act shameless and show off.
"How dare you steal... Bah! I'm asking you, where did you buy it? How much did it cost?" Xie Ailian also tried her best to control herself from being led astray.
This happened many times, she would be led astray while talking, and she has experience now.
"The last time I went to the city for a competition, it wasn't much money. The lock wasn't big and it was hollow. It was only eight dollars. I bought it for a good meaning, a longevity lock, wishing me a long life."
"Haha, it's only eight dollars! You're so arrogant."
It’s only eight dollars! Only eight dollars! Only!
Xie Ailian was so angry that her head hurt. "You usually give me your bonus for safekeeping. You always keep five dollars in hand and use it to supplement it. Where did you get eight dollars..."
"I only kept five yuan of that money. I had some private money before I went to school, and I received more red envelopes during the Chinese New Year in the past two years."
“…”
have to!
Forgot to count those.
Xie Ailian raised her hand and patted her forehead, then realized she had patted the wrong forehead, so she poked Wang Zhaozhao's head instead and said, "You are so bold to think of it, and you are so bold to buy it. You actually bought a small silver lock!"
Eight dollars! This girl is really ruthless.
"Why wouldn't I dare? My fourth uncle treats me well. He takes me to the county town and the city, and buys me delicious food. My fourth aunt treats me well too. She makes new clothes for me. When I wear a skirt made by my fourth aunt, everyone says it looks pretty and they envy me."
Wang Zhaozhao looked proud and spoiled, and she kept saying, "My fourth uncle and aunt had a baby, and as their older sister, I have money, so I must give them a gift. My classmate happened to be accompanying me to the department store that day, and I saw a small silver lock, so I bought it in advance."
After saying this, she felt that she was very smart.
What should I do? I can’t help but feel proud.
"Hmph! You seem to be quite good at dealing with people." Xie Ailian's expression visibly relaxed, and she glared at her in reproach.
"Uncle and aunt are not my parents. They have no obligation or responsibility to treat me like their own daughter. But they are good to me, so I have to remember their kindness. When I have the ability, I have to repay them." Wang Zhaozhao said with a pout.
Xie Ailian noticed the slight change on her face with her sharp eyes, and was somewhat moved by what she heard. She snorted twice, "So your grandfather and I are not good to you? We are not your parents."
Wang Zhaozhao grinned. "Grandpa and grandma are of course good to me, and I will definitely remember their kindness. How about... Grandma, I'll buy you a silver lock for your birthday too?"
"Who wants that? I'm an old woman, how can I go out with a silver locket around my neck? People will think I'm some idiot."
"puff!"
Wang Zhaozhao burst out laughing.
Her grandmother's words brought a vivid picture to her mind. She couldn't help but imagine the scene of her grandmother, with a glittering silver lock hanging around her neck, bragging to other old ladies at the village entrance...
The silly grandmother of the landlord.
Oops, I can’t hold it in anymore, “Hahahaha…”
