Chapter 215
Aunt Xie stopped talking.
With Tian Hao's disabled appearance, not only Yao Yi looked down on him, but even she looked down on him.
Aunt Xie's silence made the atmosphere a little awkward, and Aunt Wu felt a little uncomfortable.
She used to feel a little sympathetic towards Yao Yide going to the countryside, but now she doesn't feel sympathetic anymore.
"Although Tian Hao's legs and feet aren't very good, he's still a very good person. He and Zhenzhen are living a happy life now. Yao Yi doesn't like Tian Hao, and Tian Hao doesn't like people like Yao Yi either."
Aunt Xie didn't like what Aunt Wu said.
She retorted, "What's wrong with my Yiyi?! She's pretty, and many gay men are chasing her, but she doesn't like any of them!"
"Since there are so many gay men pursuing her, why do you still ask us to introduce her to a partner? She can just pick one from them and she doesn't even have to go to the countryside." Aunt Wu said.
Aunt Xie was speechless.
"That's right. Anyway, your Yiyi is so popular, there's no need for us to introduce her to a partner. I don't think you need to worry about introducing a partner to Yiyi. Maybe one day she will find a partner herself." Aunt Donghong also said.
Everyone in the compound knew what kind of person Yao Yi was. She'd lost such a good job, and such a good in-law family, too. Who would dare introduce a person like her to a date? If you introduce her to an average guy, she'd definitely look down on him, and you'd end up offending him. If you introduce her to a good guy, you'd be throwing him into a fire pit. Who would do such an offensive thing?
Therefore, Aunt Xie asked around, but no one introduced a partner to Yao Yi. Instead, many people laughed at her behind her back.
While Aunt Donghong was gossiping about Yao Yi with the people in the yard, Zhao Yuan went to find Aunt Donghong's wife Miao Xiaomei.
Zhao Yuan had visited many families over the past few days, but had not been successful in getting a ticket. Therefore, she set her sights on Aunt Donghong's house.
Aunt Donghong's family conditions are considered above average in the slum, and Zhao Yuan thinks that maybe she can get a ticket from Aunt Donghong's family.
Zhao Yuan waited until Aunt Donghong was not at home and went to look for Miao Xiaomei.
Miao Xiaomei had a rather eccentric personality and hardly interacted with the people in the compound. Even Zhao Yuan, who visited every household, had never spoken to her before.
Zhao Yuan knocked on Aunt Donghong's door. As she expected, it was Miao Xiaomei who opened the door.
Zhao Yuan gestured towards Miao Xiaomei, pointing to the shoe soles she was sewing, and said with a bright smile, "Xiaomei, I'm coming to visit you."
Miao Xiaomei showed a look of surprise on her face, but still nodded and let Zhao Yuan in.
"Aunt Donghong is not at home. When I came over just now, I saw her chatting with Aunt Wu." Zhao Yuan said.
"Well, she's not at home." Miao Xiaomei answered lazily.
"What are you doing at home?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Nothing." Miao Xiaomei said.
"It's rare to see you visiting and chatting with everyone."
"What's there to talk about? It's just gossip about other people's families. I'm not interested in other people's affairs." Miao Xiaomei said.
Zhao Yuan was silent.
Miao Xiaomei has a really weird personality, and we can hardly talk to each other.
Zhao Yuan grinned and continued to smile: "Actually, I'm not interested in other people's family affairs, but since everyone is chatting, I'll join in the conversation. Otherwise, I don't know what to talk about with everyone."
After a pause, Zhao Yuan continued, "When I came to see you just now, I saw Aunt Xie looking for someone from the compound to introduce a date to Yao Yi. It seems that if Yao Yi still can't find a date, can't get married, and has no job, she will have to go to the countryside."
Miao Xiaomei said "Oh" in a lack of interest.
Aunt Donghong often talked a lot about Yao Yi's affairs at home, but Miao Xiaomei's ears were callused from hearing it, and she really had no interest in it.
Seeing that Miao Xiaomei didn't respond to her and looked completely uninterested, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to change the subject.
"Xiaomei, to be honest, I envy you."
"What do you envy me for?" Miao Xiaomei asked puzzledly.
"I envy you for having such a good mother-in-law like Aunt Donghong! Aunt Donghong has a very good reputation in our compound, and Aunt Donghong is very sensible. You can tell at a glance that she is not the kind of mother-in-law who would bully her daughter-in-law." Zhao Yuan said.
Miao Xiaomei sneered in disagreement: "There are many mothers-in-law in the compound who oppress their daughters-in-law, and there are also many who don't."
"Will Aunt Donghong bully you too?" Zhao Yuan stared at Miao Xiaomei and said.
Miao Xiaomei said vaguely: "It's okay."
"Do you think Aunt Donghong is a bad person?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Let's leave it that way." Miao Xiaomei said.
Zhao Yuan thought Miao Xiaomei would complain, but after saying this, she stopped talking.
Zhao Yuan felt extremely bored in an instant.
Miao Xiaomei was a strange person, difficult to approach and not sociable. If it weren't for getting some tickets, she really wouldn't have wanted to come to Miao Xiaomei.
Zhao Yuan continued chatting with Miao Xiaomei for a while, changing the topic. Miao Xiaomei showed no interest in any of her topics, and Zhao Yuan couldn't continue the conversation after just a few words.
Zhao Yuan held on for a long time, then decided it was about time. He said to Miao Xiaomei, "I'm thirsty after talking so much. Xiaomei, I'll go get a glass of water."
"I'll pour it for you." Miao Xiaomei stood up.
"You sit here and tell me where the water and the cup are, I'll pour them myself." Zhao Yuan said hurriedly.
Miao Xiaomei thought this was fine, so she told Zhao Yuan where the water and bowls were, and she could just pick up any bowl to pour water and drink.
"Okay." Zhao Yuan smiled and went to the kitchen.
She picked up a bowl, poured half a bowl of water into it, and started walking around the house with the bowl in her hand.
Miao Xiaomei was sitting in the yard of the front house with her back to her and didn't notice.
Regardless of whether the door was open or closed, Zhao Yuan would go in to take a look and casually flip through the things on the table.
She thought that something as important as the ticket would definitely not be left out in the open, and would most likely be placed in a hidden place like a drawer or cabinet.
Zhao Yuan leaned half of her body out of the house and confirmed that Miao Xiaomei was still sitting in the front yard with her back to her and not paying attention to this side. Then she began to search the house carefully.
While searching, she pricked up her ears to listen to any noise outside, in case Miao Xiaomei came over without her noticing.
Zhao Yuan first searched the drawer, even the notebooks in the drawer, but she couldn't find the ticket.
She searched the closet again but still couldn't find it.
As she closed the wardrobe door, she thought: Could it be that Miao Xiaomei's family is the same as Zhong Lan's family, hiding things like tickets and money in the cushions?
Zhao Yuan turned around and was about to search in the cushion when he suddenly saw Miao Xiaomei standing at the door.
Miao Xiaomei looked at her expressionlessly. Zhao Yuan's legs went weak and she almost fell down. Fortunately, the wardrobe behind her supported her body weight.
