Chapter 203: Zhang Ruifeng said: "I don't want to be your friend."
Xie Yun said, "From what you said, it's Wu Mei's fault? Was she the one who insisted on working at your house? You keep saying you'll correct your mistakes once you know them, but in essence you think you're not wrong. You think Wu Mei is making a fuss and shouldn't be making a fuss with you, right? Is this what you mean by knowing you're wrong and correcting them? You say this in front of us, but who knows what you're thinking behind our backs! Your ideological transformation is unsatisfactory."
Wang Qingli said, "It's more than unqualified; it's downright reactionary. She's just not satisfied with oppressing people and thinks exploitation is all right. If Wu Mei refuses to be exploited, then that's Wu Mei's fault. She thinks the oppressed working people shouldn't rise up in resistance!"
Li Aiyun quickly waved her hands, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say it was Wu Mei's fault. I was wrong. I misjudged my thoughts and did the wrong thing. I've already been punished. I made her work all day and run all day. Her family pinned me to the ground and beat me. The whole team laughed at me. Isn't this a big enough price to pay?"
Wu Mei's marriage to the third child fell through, and the third child left me. The eldest and second children also resented me, feeling that I had brought shame to the brigade and made them lose face. It wasn't long before they found excuses to fall out with me. I've already been ostracized by everyone because of this. Isn't this enough of a price to pay?"
Xie Yun and the others were shocked again.
Zhao Hongxia spoke first: "Do you think it's been a long time since it happened and no one has remembered it? That's why you're talking nonsense to us here. Aren't your eldest and second daughters quarreling with you because you're partial? You're so concerned about your daughters that you don't let them do anything and make your two daughters-in-law serve you like slaves. They can't live like this anymore, so they're quarreling. Why are you bringing up the matter of the five beauties breaking off their engagement?"
Wang Qingli sighed, "To be honest, I'm quite envious of Zheng Lanping. Apart from anything else, she really has a good mother who thinks of her in everything. Whenever there's something bad going on, she'll get rid of it first to prevent her from getting tainted."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "The public has sharp eyes. They know the true situation of the Zheng family. It's not just your opinion. The matter of Wumei breaking off the engagement is in the past. No one is pursuing it anymore. Wumei has already started a new life and is living a good life after leaving your family. Who would still dwell on that trivial matter? But everyone has their own standards. It's understandable that people have some thoughts about you after you did something like this."
Li Aiyun said, "I understand. I understand that everyone has opinions about me. I mean, it's been so long since the incident happened, and we've corrected our mistakes. Can you all let go of your prejudices? You can't keep harping on those minor mistakes. We're from the same brigade, and I ran into you guys at the commune, so I took the initiative to say hello. I want to get along well with everyone from now on, okay?"
Xie Yun glanced at her. If she had met someone with a soft heart, she might have persuaded him. She had already said so much, and some people probably couldn't say "no".
But that doesn't include Xie Yun and others.
Zhang Ruifeng said, "Let's just say goodbye. Let's just keep doing the same as before. There are so many people in this world, and most of them don't talk to each other or know each other, but isn't it the same for everyone? I didn't deal with you before, and I got along just fine, and I don't want to deal with you in the future. Whether you've changed or not, whether you've become a better person or not, is none of my business. I don't want to be your friend."
Her dislike for the Zheng family was no less than Ma Xiaoyan's. After all, the Zheng family had initially targeted her daughter. Later, she reflected that if Binbin hadn't told her she wasn't going to marry, she would have likely agreed to the marriage. These days, being a soldier was quite attractive.
Once the engagement is completed, she will definitely not let her daughter go to the man's house to play before the wedding, let alone let her stay there for a whole day. She will not let her daughter go shopping with the man in the department store before the wedding, and Binbin herself will not agree to it. Then she will have no chance to discover the problems of the Zheng family in advance, and her daughter may jump into the fire pit and live a depressed life in the Zheng family.
She got angry when she thought about it!
Still want to get along with her? You're dreaming!
Li Aiyun didn't expect Zhang Ruifeng to be so disrespectful. Even after she said so much, this person still refused to listen.
Zhang Ruifeng didn't respond. How could she ask her about the young man?
Li Aiyun's expression was not very good. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Forget it if we don't want to be friends. We are from the same team. It's okay to say hello if we meet."
Xie Yun said, "That's a problem. My mother doesn't want to greet you. Just treat us as strangers when we meet."
Li Aiyun: “…”
No matter how thick-skinned she was, or how mission-driven and purposeful she was, she didn't know what to say.
No one paid any attention to her anymore.
Bored, Wang Qingli said, "Let's recite the quotations. We must always keep the leader's spirit in mind and memorize it thoroughly."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Okay. The leader's spirit guides everything. We must not only memorize it, but also practice it well, constantly learning new things. Each of you can say a sentence. Sister Qingli goes first."
Wang Qingli said, "Okay. I'll go first. 'We are not only good at destroying the old world, we will also be good at building a new world.'"
Xie Yun added, "We have found a new path. We can break out of this cycle. This new path is democracy. Only by allowing the people to supervise the government will the government dare not slack off. Only when everyone takes responsibility will the government survive."
Zhao Hongxia: "All government workers should be made to understand that corruption and waste are grave crimes."
Xie Shen: "Constantly criticizing our own shortcomings is like washing our faces and sweeping the floor every day to keep ourselves clean and dust-free."
Zhang Ruifeng looked at the children and smiled.
Li Aiyun had a blank expression on her face and cursed them in her heart for being crazy.
She actually had no business going to the commune, she just wanted to strike up a conversation with everyone so that she could ask about the young man after getting acquainted with them, so she came over. However, she didn't expect that these people were all stones from the toilet, smelly and hard, and each one more difficult to talk to than the other.
Now, she didn't get any news, and she was too embarrassed to turn back halfway, so she could only listen to these people reciting the leader's quotations for most of the way, and then they went to their respective jobs at the commune, while she returned the same way.
Li Aiyun was about to explode after getting up so early in the morning feeling tired and angry.
She returned home with a gloomy face, and Zheng Lanping immediately came up to her and asked, "Mom, how is it? Did you find out?"
Li Aiyun sighed inwardly and said, "Let me drink some water first. I walked all the way to the commune and back without a break, and my legs and feet are swollen."
Zheng Lanping servilely poured her a bowl of water and sat aside, looking at her eagerly.
Li Aiyun took two small sips and put it down.
"Lan Ping, our family had those two previous incidents, and our reputation was ruined. Those people didn't want to have anything to do with us. I shamelessly approached them, but they ignored me. They had no respect at all and told me directly that they didn't want to talk to me or associate with our family. I couldn't even open my mouth to ask."
"Ah? How could this happen? They are so heartless."
"They have no mercy on us."
Zheng Lanping: “…”
