These words were like a depth charge, attracting everyone's attention. Even Xu Maofang, who was about to plead for his daughter, opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
Grandma Xie stretched out her hand and made a "don't say anything yet" gesture.
As soon as Sun Lingyu finished her sarcastic words, several people showed questioning expressions on their faces. Someone burst out laughing: Sun Lingyu was also an educated youth in the Red Flag Commune in Y City. Who knows if she has a good relationship with Ye Qingshui and is helping him speak.
Sun Lingyu looked at those pairs of questioning eyes. The disbelief on their faces was not much different from her original self. She would never believe that she would be outdone by a woman with only a small education.
She pushed and handed them the newspaper.
Sun Lingyu was not supposed to come to Xie's house today, but after returning to the capital, she found out that she was being used as a scapegoat and "written a letter" to Xie's house to slander Ye Qingshui.
How could she do such a thing!
Although she didn't like Ye Qingshui, she also didn't like the feeling of being wronged.
Sun Lingyu found this newspaper at He Fang's home. When she saw the half-page of newspaper torn off separately at He Fang's home, the matter of the missing newspaper in the female educated youth dormitory finally had an answer.
She somehow put it away and hid it in her bag. Sun Lingyu took it out while watching the excitement.
Several people took the newspaper doubtfully, read it hastily, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were silent for a long time, no one said a word, because... it was too unbelievable.
The news that Xie Tingyu had just found a random wife in the countryside to marry spread.
What kind of place is Shan Gou Gou? It can only remind people of poverty, backwardness and isolation. How can a girl who grew up in such a small place compare with well-educated intellectuals?
Moreover, the daughter-in-law of the Xie family is illiterate and has barely finished elementary school. Someone in the compound has asked about it, and even the people of the Xie family did not deny it.
Today they found out that Xie Tingyu had sex with the girl in order to save someone, and he had to marry her under the pressure of rumors. They couldn't help but feel sorry for Xie Tingyu. How could such a cautious person fall into such a trap?
But after everyone accepted that Tingyu's wife was like this, someone suddenly mocked them.
You are not as good as a country woman who only attended elementary school. She is very successful!
No matter how hopeless the children of the big compound are, and no matter how unable they are to go to university, they can at least finish high school. How can they be inferior to a country woman with only primary school education?
Sun Lingyu took a photo of the newspaper, waking everyone up.
Is there any evidence that Ye Qingshui is really cultured?
A special report that fills an entire page, isn’t this evidence?
After reading a page full of reports, these preconceived boys and girls fell into deep thought and almost dared not look Ye Qingshui in the eye.
Someone said: "Xie sister-in-law is really amazing."
After one person took the lead, the others behind him gradually relaxed and were no longer awkward.
"I read in the reports that my sister-in-law can make good use of her time after finishing her farm work. This spirit is rare. I have a lot of physics books at home. My sister-in-law can come and borrow some when she is free."
"I am very interested in this electric field. If you are free, let's have a discussion."
Grandma Xie had long accepted that her granddaughter-in-law was uneducated, but considering that she was a down-to-earth child, it didn't matter if she had less experience. Life was long, so she could just put in some effort and teach her slowly.
But now others told her that Shui Ya was just low-key and honest, and that she was capable and talented? Grandma Xie was a little confused.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Qingshui. The meaning in the old woman's eyes was: Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?
She really didn't expect the situation to take such a sudden turn for the worse. Ye Qingshui thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."
Ye Qingshui didn't have anything to say. She looked at the faces and eyes of these people that changed wonderfully in such a short period of time, and she felt a lot in her heart.
Slander and praise are really boring if they are not taken to heart.
Ye Qingshui thought absentmindedly: Xie Dongmei really hates her sister-in-law and has spent so much effort to slander her.
Grandma Xie read the entire report word for word, and she asked Xie Dongmei:
"If a person has no conditions to study and is forced to drop out of school to work as a farmer at home, but finds time to study and absorb advanced knowledge in the midst of busy work, and finally benefits the local people and saves national property through her own efforts, such a person would be very sad to hear you mock her for not having the opportunity to continue her studies and being ignorant."
She paused and continued, "We can't always judge a person based on one-sided information, such as their background or education level. Do you recognize this lesson today?"
After listening to this, Xie Dongmei burst into tears.
Grandma Xie added: "You looked very well behaved before, how come you became like this in the blink of an eye?"
Xu Maofang suppressed the embarrassment in her eyes and quickly saved the situation by saying, "Meimei just believed what others said. Mom, you know she has been protecting her brother since she was a child..."
Grandma Xie didn't say anything, just looked at her straight. Xu Maofang felt her scalp tingling at the sight of those sharp eyes.
After hearing these words, several young men and women had complicated thoughts and they looked at Ye Qingshui.
The new daughter-in-law of the Xie family stood quietly by the door with her hands hanging naturally at her waist. She had just come back from buying New Year's goods and had sweated a lot in the cold winter. The redness on her face had not faded, and her snow-white skin looked as if it was covered with a circle of rouge.
If you look closely, you will find that she is quite pretty. However, when she first walked into the house, she was wrapped up thickly, with her hat almost covering her face, so no one paid attention to her. Now, after a closer look, people found that the wife of the Xie family is actually quite pretty.
However... the image of her moving a lot of things is deeply imprinted in everyone's mind and is difficult to erase.
Whose family would not hold such a delicate daughter-in-law in their hands and protect her well?
Sun Lingyu felt that Ye Qingshui was really miserable. Since she met her, it seemed that this kind of scene of being condemned by everyone had appeared several times, whether in the countryside or in the city.
The reason is that her background is not compatible with the man she married.
But putting aside these prejudices, looking at Ye Qingshui as a person, it seems that there is nothing wrong with him.
Sun Lingyu looked at the angry expressions of the Xie mother and daughter, and felt that it was not a good thing for Ye Qingshui to marry Xie Tingyu.
As a man, it is better to know when to be warm and when to be cold. Xie Zhiqing always let his wife encounter such situations and could not protect her. I guess Xie Zhiqing didn't care much about her.
When Sun Lingyu thought of this, she felt a little better.
She thought so, and some people also thought so. The girl who looked at Ye Qingshui coldly from the beginning was called Xiang Zuo. She smiled and said:
"Thank you, Grandma. It was a coincidence that Comrade Ye was able to marry Brother Yu. Isn't that right?"
"Meimei is right. She is just standing up for me."
To the left is the wife Xie Jun intends to arrange for Xie Tingyu. Xie Tingyu is too stubborn. He doesn't like any girl and has never dated anyone at this age. Xie Jun has to make the decision for him. However, before the marriage is finalized, news of Xie Tingyu's marriage spreads in the countryside.
With just one sentence to the left, the topic, which had originally gone off track, was brought back to the original topic.
This sentence sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. Ye Qingshui is a good person and there is no necessary connection between her and Xie Tingyu's marriage. The fact is that their marriage was indeed an accident.
They looked at Ye Qingshui's clothes, which were old and even linted, and fell into deep thought. The Xie family was so rich. If Xie Tingyu cared about his wife, would he let her dress so poorly?
Everyone's eyes gradually changed, and it was unclear whether it was pity or regret.
At this time, the door was opened with a click. It was Xie Tingyu who came back. Everyone's eyes fell on the late host.
"Shui'er, why are you standing at the door? Aren't you cold?"
He seemed as if he didn't hear Xiang Zuo's words. He reached out and touched Ye Qingshui's hand, which was icy cold. He wrapped her hand with his big palm and blew a breath on it.
He looked at Ye Qingshui, who had an expressionless face, and touched her soft hair. He took out a string of candied haws from the brown paper bag like a magic trick and handed it to Ye Qingshui. His voice seemed to be still hoarse from being frozen by the cold wind:
"I bought some candied haws. Haven't you always wanted to eat some? Try some."
The words "State-owned Snacks" were printed on his kraft paper. It was very difficult to get in line at this state-owned store. In addition, as it was close to the Spring Festival, candies and snacks were extremely scarce, so one had to wait in line for at least two or three hours.
But its dim sum tastes good, so those who want to eat it still have to wait in line with their noses pinched.
Xie Tingyu glanced around, put his hands on Ye Qingshui's shoulders, and introduced solemnly:
"Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Ye Qingshui."
"I love her and respect her very much. I am very lucky to have met her in the countryside. She is simple, low-key, frugal and doesn't care what others think of her, but I don't want others to have too many misunderstandings about her. She is a very good girl."
After Xie Tingyu finished speaking, his eyes swept around and finally fell on Xie Dongmei.
He took a breath, and the man's voice was slightly hoarse from the cold, with a hint of indifference in it. He said with a serious expression:
"Dongmei, the dress you are wearing is a gift from me to your sister-in-law. I picked it out myself and watched your sister-in-law sew it stitch by stitch. You have to give it back to me."
Xie Dongmei's name was suddenly called. She looked up in surprise and her face suddenly turned red.
"This, this...you clearly gave it to me."
A tea party was held at home today and several familiar friends were invited to come over. In order to dress up better, Xie Dongmei put on the clothes her brother gave her.
Xie Tingyu insisted, "That was a gift from me to your sister-in-law."
Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Dongmei.
She was wearing a snow-white shirt and a black skirt. The waist design of the shirt made her waist look slender, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with delicate and plain flowers. The black skirt was slightly folded, and the plainer it was, the more beautiful she looked.
Previously, two girls asked Xie Dongmei which tailor made this dress. It turned out that it was her sister-in-law who sewed it stitch by stitch.
Several young men and women looked at each other with strange eyes. The sister-in-law was wearing tattered clothes, and the sister-in-law even tried to snatch clothes from her...
Xie Dongmei shed tears, and Xie Tingyu said, "Remember to wash it clean and return it to me."
