Chapter 35: Toad also wants to eat swan meat
"Who is it? Even if the king of heaven comes, I won't see him."
Old Mrs. Tian was very annoyed. The toilet was smelly and full of flies, and she had to clean it every day. She was very annoyed.
"You really don't see it?"
"No, no, let him go!"
The man pretended to be regretful: "What a pity! My granddaughter finally came back and there's no one home. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
"etc!"
Old Mrs. Tian immediately chased after him, forgetting that she was still holding the bucket.
"Who did you say is back?"
"Your granddaughter, Tian Siyu."
When Mrs. Tian heard this, she happily threw the bucket on the ground and ran out without even bothering to take off her gloves.
Tian Siyu was wearing a washed-out blue Lenin suit with the third button open, revealing the snow-white false collar underneath.
She wore a faux leather belt to tightly define her waistline and layered cloth shoes.
"Hey, Siyu, why didn't you tell me you were back? When did you arrive?"
Tian Siyu covered her nose and took a step back, not disguising her disgust: "What's that smell on you? It stinks!"
Old Mrs. Tian paused. She had been sweeping toilets and cleaning pits every day these days, and her body felt pickled.
"You kid, I raised you with all my might since you were little, and now you think I stink?"
Tian Siyu looked at the people around her who were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally. She wanted to lose her temper but couldn't, so she could only hold it in.
"Where's the key to my house? I finally came back and there's no one here. I'm left starving!"
Old Mrs. Tian quickly took out the key tied with wool from her pocket and said, "Here, here, here. There's some boiled water on the table and some steamed bread in the pot. Eat it first. I'll come back and make you something to eat later."
Tian Siyu took out a handkerchief, pinched it with two fingers, wrapped the key in it, and turned away.
Old Mrs. Tian looked at her back, smiling with joy from ear to ear. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should tell Old Man Tian.
"Boss, boss, Siyu is back!"
She started shouting from a distance, and everyone along the way could hear her.
"Come back if you want, why are you in such a hurry?"
The two people lowered their heads and no one knew what they were discussing, but one could vaguely see their excited expressions.
Song Yunqing was a little curious: "Didn't they say they didn't like this granddaughter and even let her drop out of school so early? Why are they so happy?"
Ge Jinglan took a sip of water and said, "Maybe it's because I'm old now. I finally realized the benefits of having a younger generation around. After all, when they can't walk anymore, they still need their granddaughters to take care of them."
Song Yunqing seemed to be lost in thought. It turned out that he had not woken up, but had begun to feel afraid.
The island is so small that if something happens to someone's family, it will spread everywhere within half an hour.
Not to mention the few times she shouted, it was hard not to know.
"Hey, Old Man Tian, I just saw your granddaughter. She's so pretty. Is she dating someone?"
Old Man Tian glanced at him. He was a well-known gangster in the village. He was uneducated and idle all day long. He would take a bite from anyone who had food.
Over time, no one liked him.
His way of getting mixed up is different from Yao Xinjie's.
Yao Xinjie just loves to play and is too lazy to move, but he keeps his family and children healthy, and he will never do anything sinister. If he hates you, he will hate you, but he will not do anything behind your back.
But Jin Yu is different. All kinds of sneaky tricks are commonplace for him. Today he kidnaps the little daughter of this family, and tomorrow he takes the daughter of another family around.
All the families with daughters on the island are fed up with him and tell their daughters every day not to get close to him.
"Bah, no matter how pretty she is, it has nothing to do with you. Look at your appearance, you are a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
In fact, Jin Yu is not ugly, on the contrary he is quite good-looking, otherwise he would not be able to deceive so many girls with just his face.
He held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, his peach blossom eyes vaguely looking into the distance: "What's wrong with swan meat? Doesn't today's society advocate having ideals? Even toads have ideals!"
This caused everyone around to burst into laughter.
"Siyu is a serious college student, the first one on our island. Whatever level she is at, your level should be the same."
"That's right. If he's Sun Wukong, you're just the ash in Laozi's boiler. You have nothing in common at all. And you're still dreaming of eating swan meat? Eat your ass!"
Jin Yu didn't care at all, and his sticky eyes swept over Song Yunqing who was standing beside him.
Who said there is only one swan on this island!
Old Man Tian couldn't leave early and had to wait until everyone had rested before going home.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"What the hell is this? It makes your throat hurt. How can you eat it?"
"What's the big deal? This is what we eat all the time. Have you forgotten who you are just studying outside for a few years?"
"Who am I? I'm an outstanding graduate of the school. I have everything I want in school. I'm the best!"
"You? You're the best? Look at Song Yunqing, that's the life of a superior person!"
Old Man Tian felt tired: "What are you arguing about? You start arguing as soon as you get home!"
Old Mrs. Tian was very happy that Tian Siyu came back, and she even took out some delicious food from home.
As a result, she picked out all the ones whose noses were not noses and whose eyes were not eyes, but none of them caught her eye.
"Then you should ask your good granddaughter. She can't eat sorghum rice because she says it makes her throat sore, and she won't drink boiled water because it's not sweet."
"We all grew up in a small village, studied outside for a few years, and this is what we've become?"
Old Man Tian's eyelids drooped, and he looked at Tian Siyu with a sinister look: "Just by studying for a few years, do you really think you can fly up to the tree and become a phoenix? Once you are a member of the Tian family, you will be a member of the Tian family for life."
"Your grandmother and I raised you. Don't think about kicking you away. We will all rely on you for support in the future."
Tian Siyu disagreed: "It's my aunt who has done me a favor. She bought me skirts and sent me to school. Who are you? If you treat me better from now on, I might marry a rich man in the future and even give you some money through my fingers. If you treat me badly, hmph!"
She didn't say it clearly, but Old Man Tian already knew that his granddaughter was ambitious and looked down on the Tian family.
Especially after her parents died, she was taken to the city by her aunt, and her heart grew a lot.
"If it's so good out there, why did you come back? Why don't you stay in your own little paradise? Why are you here in this little hut of ours?"
Tian Siyu's eyes were evasive. "Do you think I have no ambitions like you? I am an outstanding graduate. I obeyed my motherland and came back to build my hometown."
Old Man Tian smiled contemptuously: "Build your hometown? You can't even support yourself, and you still want to build your hometown? Don't embarrass yourself."
"Don't believe me, a primary school is going to be built on this island soon, and I'm coming back to be a teacher."
Mr. and Mrs. Tian asked in unison, "Teacher?"
"Yes, I studied to be a teacher. I could have gone straight to school, but I have a conscience and want to come back to help the children on our island learn more knowledge."
Old Mrs. Tian carefully distinguished the truth from falsehood in her words.
"I don't think she's lying, so it must be true."
"But is it really that easy to be a teacher? I've never heard of a school being built on the island!"
Ordinary people's natural admiration for highly educated people makes them treat Tian Siyu a little better.
"Who knows? She's always more informed than us. Maybe it's true. If she becomes a teacher in the future, there will be a lot of benefits."
They looked at each other and saw calculation in each other's eyes.
Since he was sure that Tian Siyu would be useful to him in the future, Old Man Tian softened his attitude.
"Since you have such awareness, it's a good thing. Stay at home for the next few days. Remember, there are a few thugs in the village, stay away from them."
Tian Siyu responded nonchalantly.
"Also, does your aunt know that you're going back to the island to be a teacher? Don't come and take you away like a madman again!"
"I...I know. Oh, why do you have so many questions? I know everything!"
Old Mr. and Mrs. Tian were in a particularly good mood because of Tian Siyu's arrival.
"But why are you working? It's all hard labor. I can't stand watching things like cleaning out the manure pit."
Tian Siyu's tone was filled with unconcealable disgust. If others knew that her grandmother was digging out feces, how could she go out and see people?
She got angry when she mentioned this: "Isn't it all because of that new deputy leader on the island? He's so stubborn and stubborn that he brings his capitalist wife everywhere to trip people up? If it weren't for him, would your grandfather and I be bullied like this?"
"Isn't he just a small leader? I'll go talk to him. You guys are so old, what if something happens?"
Old Man Tian stopped her and said, "Forget it. He's not only sharp-tongued but also ruthless. Just be patient for a few more days. What if we piss him off and he punishes us again?"
Old Man Tian has completely lost his temper. He has been moving stones, pushing carts, and hauling soil every day these days. He used to make a fuss and refused to let others dump the soil, but now he does it himself.
Isn't this just rubbing salt into the wound?
Not to mention the old woman, she is now full of the stench of feces. She sleeps on the small bed at night and the smell makes her unable to sleep.
"Tell me honestly, did you do something wrong and that's why you were punished?"
Old Mrs. Tian was immediately furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are we that kind of people? We just made some reasonable demands, but they protected each other and colluded with the people to bully people like us who have no backing."
Seeing that they looked indignant and didn't seem to be lying, Tian Siyu felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and ask for justice from him."
Tian Siyu didn't even eat, turned around and walked out.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Tian Siyu walked out of the house angrily. It was rare to see someone dressed so brightly and beautifully, and she attracted a lot of attention when walking on the street.
This made her vanity swell rapidly.
Until she turned a corner and saw a familiar figure, Tian Siyu was completely stunned!
