Zhou Jingting was spoiled by her family and had no scheming. But after she got married, she realized that people are evil. Her husband's family treated her as an outsider, and her parents taught her to grow up overnight.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiang is a man that is easy to handle, otherwise? Marriage is a second life, if you don’t marry well, you will suffer a big setback!
How could she not hate Li Tong, Li Zhiqing?
Her family came up with an idea: since she likes to hook up with married men so much, let her brothers take action!
They didn't do anything, just worked around Li Tong.
Wait until Li Tong returns to the Youth League Home, and then Zhou Jingting's mother will take action.
In front of other educated youth, he just talked but did nothing.
Zhou Jingting's mother pulled Li Tong aside at that time, as if she was picking a backup for her sons, and made a lot of bold statements: "Don't just stare at my son-in-law, look at a few more people, such as my sons..."
Li Tong's face was a little embarrassed on the spot, "What do you mean your sons? Auntie, I remember your sons are all married."
"What are you afraid of! My son-in-law is married, so you're still going to get close to him, right?"
"I...Auntie...I don't have any."
"Well, it's okay. I'm an experienced person. I know that a slut like you can't stand loneliness. Even a farmer would try to get close to you. Am I not creating an opportunity for you? Don't worry. Just look at my character and you'll know that my son is very strong!"
"When my son kicks his daughter-in-law out, you take his place! I guarantee you'll be very happy!"
The educated city youth, who had never seen the country people's sordid behavior, was stunned by Zhou Jingting's mother.
Li Tong's reputation was ruined in the Youth League Institute.
For the sake of reputation, even Jiang Ping, who was usually on good terms with him, kept her distance.
Li Tong wanted to use water from the water tank, burn more firewood, or even borrow an enamel basin from another female educated youth, but it was impossible!
She was not as polite as Jiang Ping and said bluntly, "We are all sent-down youths from the city and never associate with local people. But you are not only hooking up... but also hooking up with several married farmers. We don't want to be infected by you."
What can Li Tong do? She can only report it to the police! Make a big fuss!
Anyway, my reputation is ruined!
When Zhou Jingting's parents saw that Li Tong had reported the case to the police, they were shocked at first, out of their natural fear of police officers, and then they explained that it was not strong enough.
"You can't blame us for imagining things. She was the one who flirted with our son-in-law/brother-in-law. She is that kind of person..."
"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask the villagers. Many of them have seen it!"
"That's right, Zhou Qiang is already married, but she still thinks she's being smart..."
Li Tong almost fainted. Seeing her reputation getting worse and worse, and Zhou Jingting's family being blamed for everything, she strongly demanded compensation! Otherwise, she would jump into the river!
Zhou Jingting's parents thought it was unlucky, but after being persuaded by the police, they still paid compensation.
What will happen if things get out of hand?
Originally, the local people didn't like the educated youth, but now they worked in a factory and they met each other everywhere. The relationship had just started to break the ice when it was ruined by Li Tong.
All the educated youths in the Youth House, both male and female, began to dislike her.
She was also harassed by low-lifes.
She wanted to find the party secretary to come forward, but the latter scolded her, "It was you who made Zhou Jingting's family look down on Daqiang's wedding day! Afterwards, you and Daqiang's family were flirting with each other. They are not a doormat. If you fight back, it will be theirs?!
You could report to the police without my permission, but now you need me to make the decision? Why don’t you just ask the police?!”
After scolding for several hours, the branch secretary drove the people away, scolded the group of scoundrels, and asked their families to control them. If you can't control them, don't even think about working in the factory in the future, you will be a thief for the rest of your life!
This group of scoundrels were immediately controlled by their parents. Even their brothers and sisters-in-law who had separated from the family were afraid of being implicated and kept them under strict control.
Li Tong had a chance to catch her breath, but she found that marriage was even more difficult to talk about.
The money in hand is getting less and less, the work in the fields is becoming more and more difficult, the skin is getting rougher, and the hair is starting to split and dry.
She was cornered and finally saw someone.
Although this person is also an educated youth, he has never worked in the fields since he was transferred to the Red Flag Brigade. He went straight to the factory as an ordinary employee and has now been promoted to a clerk in the office.
After some inquiries, I found out that his name was Zhou Dawei, and he and Zhou Qiang were cousins.
What did she think was stronger last week? It was because the other party was a capable uncle and aunt!
If these second uncle and second aunt become my parents-in-law...
This relationship must be much closer, right?
After learning that Zhou Dawei was Qiao Yu's adopted child, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to take action.
Many military personnel adopt their comrades' children, whether out of responsibility or for the sake of face, and the future of adopted children will not be bad.
She checked out the route that Zhou Dawei must take, and after finding out there was a river, she came up with an idea.
David has found something meaningful to do recently.
I used to work as an ordinary employee in a factory, doing repetitive mechanical work. After doing it for a long time, it became boring and meaningless.
When he got to the office, he had nothing to do, so he skillfully took out a notebook and drew with a pencil to kill time, but he was caught by Zhou Ermei.
"You can draw a lot."
Before, I drew sketches at home, but now I draw Q-version characters.
These were all mentioned by his mother, and he understood them immediately.
His mother didn’t know much about painting, so she could only give him some advice based on her limited knowledge, to give him some pointers. He still needed to figure out the details and improvements himself.
"Hmm...you're back so soon this time?"
"Well. Can you show me the painting?" Zhou Ermei asked.
Dawei handed the sketchbook over without hesitation.
Zhou Ermei studied it for a while before saying, "The secretary thinks the factory and the team are too boring. It will not be presentable when the higher-ups come to inspect, which will affect the year-end performance. The production team has people who can write slogans. We are in need of people who can draw on the board. Do you want to give it a try?"
Dawei thought for a moment and said, "Where is it? Do you have any requests?"
"This cute style of painting is very novel and will definitely stand out."
"Okay, I'll try."
So, these few days, Dawei has been painting Q-version landscapes and characters on several walls of the factory. Not only do the children in the team like it, but even the adults are talking about Zhou Zhiqing's great skills.
"Is Zhou Zhiqing Anzi's adopted son?"
"That's right. Look at how they raise their children. They raise such a capable child. Then look at my stupid son! Oh, I was almost mad to death!"
David listened but pretended not to hear anything.
How do you raise a child? It’s not enough to feed and clothe him, you also have to provide conditions.
Before he went to the countryside, his pencils had to be replaced every few months, not to mention his erasers. Even though his sketchbooks had to be erased as he drew, the paper was so thin that if one page was torn, it would be wasted and could no longer be recycled.
All of these cost money.
If his mother doesn't give him pocket money every month but gives him a bonus every year, will he have the capital to develop his talents?
Even eating might become a problem.
Parents are the best life mentors for their children.
