Chapter 30
Shen Shun complained to Wu Aixia, "Your sister-in-law came to my house at noon today to ask for pork rib soup. Is your family so poor that you don't have money to buy pork ribs to make soup?"
Although he didn't like Ye Fuyue, the pork rib soup she made was indeed delicious. If Ye Fuyun succeeded in asking for it at noon today, he would have to drink much less pork rib soup!
"Who doesn't have money to buy pork rib soup? It's just a few pieces of ribs." Wu Aixia said disdainfully.
"It's good that your family is rich. Don't come to my house to beg for things again." Shen Shun retorted.
His relationship with Wu Aixia was not very good to begin with, and they had only spoken a few words recently, so Shen Shun was not polite when he spoke.
Wu Aixia was angry.
It was she who originally proposed the idea of asking for pork rib soup, and it was she who forced Ye Fuyun to ask for it. Shen Shun's words just now were tantamount to slapping her in the face.
Wu Aixia caught up with Shen Shun and said, “Do you know why your sister-in-law is unwilling to give my sister-in-law pork rib soup?”
"That's meat! Anyone who is not stupid will not give away meat." Shen Shun said speechlessly.
"You've all been deceived!" Wu Aixia said smugly, "Your sister-in-law actually still likes my brother and can't forget him. She thinks my sister-in-law, her brother, is her enemy, so she doesn't want to give her sister pork rib soup."
"No!" Shen Shun denied loudly.
If he didn't deny it and admitted that Ye Fuyue still liked Wu Longfei, what would become of his second brother? How pitiful and ridiculous his second brother would be!
"My sister-in-law said it herself." Wu Aixia argued.
"She's lying! When she was talking to your sister-in-law, my second brother, my mother and I heard it. My sister-in-law never said anything like she liked your brother." Shen Shun said.
Wu Aixia didn't believe it: "Of course she wouldn't say that in front of you. She's not stupid. She must have said it to my sister-in-law in private!"
Shen Shun was stunned.
There was indeed a brief moment when Ye Fuyue and Ye Fuyun spoke in low voices, and they did not hear clearly.
Could it be that Ye Fuyue said such hateful words at that time?
Seeing Shen Shun hesitate, Wu Aixia believed more and more what Ye Fuyun said.
"Your sister-in-law still likes my brother. Even if she marries your second brother, she will never forget him. But my family doesn't look down on people like your sister-in-law."
Wu Aixia said this proudly and left proudly.
Shen Shun stayed where he was, lost in thought.
…
In the following days, Ye Fuyue finished drawing the furniture design drawings and became even more idle.
She often wandered around the streets, trying to see if there were any places hiring workers, but there were so few job opportunities in that era that she never saw any job openings.
She also told Shen Yao that if there was a recruitment exam suitable for her in the factory, Shen Yao must let her know.
Chen Yao said: "Okay. But you don't have to go out to work. My salary is enough for us to eat, and I don't want you to be too tired."
"Two people making money is always better than one! And I like making money."
Ye Fuyue's words sounded high-sounding, but the actual reason was that she wanted to save more money so that once the economy opened up, she could hoard houses and land and live a wealthy retirement life as a landlady.
In her previous life, she had to work to survive, and the money she earned wasn't enough to buy a house, let alone the landlady's retirement life. In this life, since she had the ability and conditions, she naturally wanted to turn her fantasy into reality.
If Shen Yao made money alone, it would definitely be much slower. If two people made money together, they would be closer to their goal.
Chen Yao didn't know Ye Fuyue's lofty ideals, and he was still sighing in his heart: My wife is really motivated! I can't fall behind.
It’s just that the ideal is good, but the reality is a bit cruel.
Until now, Ye Fuyue has not seen any recruitment, and the factory where Chen Yao works has no plans to recruit workers.
Ye Fuyue wandered around the street for a while and had no choice but to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to chat with Yu Tong.
Wu Qiaoer works at the cannery and is very busy now. It is impossible for Ye Fuyue to find her, so she can only go to Yu Tong.
Yu Tong was very happy to see Ye Fuyue coming: "What are you going to buy today?"
"I don't have anything to buy. I came to talk to you."
Yu Tong was even happier: "Great! I'm so bored."
Ye Fuyue looked at the customers coming and going in the supply and marketing cooperative: So many people want to buy things, are you still bored?
Yu Tong was getting things for the customers while chatting with Ye Fuyue, which didn't stop her from slacking off at all.
Halfway through the conversation, Yang Shucong came again.
"Yu Tong."
"Shucong!" As soon as Yu Tong saw Yang Shucong, her whole temperament changed and she became more feminine.
Ye Fuyue consciously didn't want to be a light bulb: "I'm leaving first. I have to go back to cook."
"Okay. Come chat with me some other time!"
"Okay." Ye Fuyue smiled and left.
When passing Yang Shucong, Ye Fuyue did not look sideways, but Yang Shucong looked at her a few more times.
After Ye Fuyue walked away, Yang Shucong said to Yu Tong, "Your cousin's wife is here to see you again."
"yes."
"We didn't talk about anything, just some gossip."
"She didn't tell your cousin about us, did she?"
"I didn't ask, and she probably didn't say anything. If she had, my aunt would have told my mom long ago." Yu Tong said.
Yang Shucong nodded and thought about it.
He asked, "Are you taking a break this afternoon?"
"right."
"Then let's go to the movies after lunch."
"Great!" Yu Tong was delighted.
After Ye Fuyue came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she went straight back to the slum.
There were still vegetables at home that Chen Guifeng bought yesterday, so she didn't need to buy any more.
The Shen family's house in the compound had a small courtyard and was much more spacious than the other houses, with four rooms. The Shen family's previous house was different; it was much smaller, with only two rooms. Later, after Shen Yao retired from the army and returned to work at a factory, becoming a section chief, he reapplied for the current house.
Although the yard is small, there are only a handful of houses with yards in the compound, so Chen Guifeng is already very satisfied.
She cleared a small area in the yard to plant some vegetables. Although the amount was not large, the advantage was the variety. Sometimes the family did not even need to buy vegetables. Just picking two handfuls from the yard was enough for a stir-fry.
Ye Fuyue was thinking, considering the weather, how about making some smashed cucumber for lunch? She looked up and saw Wu Longfei walking towards her, also about to enter the compound.
Ye Fuyue withdrew her gaze expressionlessly and turned into the courtyard first, but Wu Longfei caught up with her.
"Ye Fuyue, are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Wu Longfei had an arrogant look on his face as if to say "I've seen through you a long time ago."
Ye Fuyue is unlucky and disgusting.
There are such people in every era!
