"Mom, please stop talking about He Ting and He Ting all the time. My ears are going to get calluses."
Lu Jiaojiao didn't care: "So what if He Ting is an educated youth from Beijing? His family has strong connections, can he go to the countryside?"
"Mom, don't be so superficial. Maybe He Ting's family had an accident, so he came to our brigade as an educated youth."
"If I marry He Ting, I will have to suffer with him later."
"Yes, Yin Zhihe is a little poor now. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Before liberation, the Yin family was the richest family in our area. It is hard to say if there is not a lot of gold and silver buried under the family's ground."
"Besides, Yin Zhihe's five sisters are married so well, and each of them saves a little from their fingernails to support their parents' families. How can Yin Zhihe and I have a hard life?"
"Look, when Yin Zhihe proposed to my sister, several sisters pooled together 188 yuan for the betrothal gift. She married my eldest sister who worked at the county supply and marketing cooperative, and she also got her a Plum Blossom watch."
"That's a Plum brand watch, it costs about a hundred yuan, and only cadres can wear it."
"Alright, alright. I won't have a hard time living with Yin Zhihe. Yin Zhihe is smart and can make a lot of money. Then you and my brother will enjoy the good life!"
Seeing Lu Baiwei standing at the door looking at her, Lu Jiaojiao wiped her tears and started acting.
"Sister, you don't think I stole Brother Zhihe, do you?"
"Brother Zhihe has always liked me. I wanted to marry He Ting to piss off Brother Zhihe and prove that he cares about me."
"Originally, I, Lu Jiaojiao, should have been the one proposing marriage to Brother Zhihe. Don't look at me like that."
"Brother Zhihe said that you are like your grandfather, Doctor Tang. You are too dull and rigid, and you smell like medicine. He doesn't like your dull and boring personality. He only likes people like me."
Lu Jiaojiao was the first to complain: "Dad, look at my sister, she's so fierce, she glared at me."
"She won't hit me, will she?"
Lu Jiaojiao started crying.
Liu Chunhua, who was protecting her child, spoke up.
"It's the two kids who are causing the trouble."
"Old Lu, say something!"
"When Jiaojiao cries, Huahua will probably cry too. They have a good relationship as siblings."
Liu Chunhua pinched Lu Wenhua, and Lu Wenhua started to scream at the top of his lungs.
Lu Jianguo immediately felt distressed: "Weiwei, Yin Zhihe agreed to get a marriage certificate with Jiaojiao."
"Look, it's a done deal."
"Don't compete with Jiaojiao for Yin Zhihe's marriage. Marry He Ting instead."
I knew it was like this. Lu Jianguo is the best at smoothing things over.
Every time Liu Chunhua made excuses using Lu Wenhua, Lu Jianguo would compromise.
The one who is always wronged is her, Lu Baiwei.
In her previous life, Lu Baiwei saw the news about Lu Jiaojiao being rescued after being abducted. Lu Jiaojiao must have also watched her interview on TV at that time.
She was a country woman who started a business with her impoverished husband and became wealthy. She was also able to go to Hong Kong to inherit assets worth hundreds of billions. This incident itself was legendary and the interview program caused a sensation at the time.
Lu Jiaojiao only saw her superficial glory, but didn't know what she had to endure after marrying into the Yin family.
Yin Zhihe's mother has a shrewd and weird temper, and she still has the habits of a capitalist daughter. Even though her family is extremely poor, she still wants to eat and use good things and refuses to compromise, forcing her and Yin Zhihe to go to the black market to speculate.
And Yin Zhihe has five sisters who are well married.
But Yin Zhi and his mother can’t help it!
Yin Zhihe's mother often threatened his five daughters' lives and asked them to move their belongings from their husband's house to their own, which made it very difficult for his sisters.
On the surface, Yin Zhihe's five sisters are all brother-supporting demons, but in fact, the relationship between his sisters and Yin Zhihe as mother and son is on the verge of breaking up.
In the previous life, it was because of Yin Zhihe’s mother’s weird behavior that several sisters broke off relations with their family and stopped associating with Yin Zhihe.
Not only is Yin Zhihe's mother such a bad person, but all of Yin Zhihe's relatives are weird. If they can't get any benefits, they will target her and report Yin Zhihe. But Yin Zhihe's mother is confused and thinks it is natural for a daughter to support her parents' family.
In her previous life, she and Yin Zhihe had fallen into many troubles because of those bad relatives.
The most important thing is that Yin Zhihe is not good in that aspect.
In her previous life, until she died of illness, she and Yin Zhihe had no children.
Having endured gossip all her life and being cursed as a hen that doesn't lay eggs, wanting a child became her obsession before she died.
So, she guessed that Lu Jiaojiao and Yin Zhihe hid in the haystack last night and did not take the last step.
It’s ridiculous that after Lu Jiaojiao was reborn, she was willing to destroy her own reputation to compete with her for Yin Zhihe.
Lu Baiwei gave Lu Jiaojiao the good marriage she risked her life for.
"Dad, I understand."
Lu Baiwei pinched herself and wiped away tears in grievance: "It's getting late, I'm going to cut grass for the cows."
These days, everyone is curious about something new.
Lu Jiaojiao and Yin Zhihe made a lot of noise by hiding in the haystack, and someone came to the Lu family's door early in the morning to poke their heads around.
Lu Baiwei had just picked up an empty winnowing basket and went to the stream to cut grass for the cows when she was stopped by the aunties and aunties who were washing clothes.
"Weiwei, why are you crying?"
"This child has been wronged!"
"Lu Jiaojiao and Yin Zhihe hid in a haystack last night. The haystack was shaking. It was so embarrassing."
In his previous life, Lu Jianguo chilled Lu Baiwei's heart.
After Lu Jiaojiao ran away with someone, Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua had been pressuring her with filial piety, and they found various ways to make her subsidize her parents' home and help support her younger brother Lu Wenhua.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the three of them were sucking her blood.
She was a sullen person and would not utter a word when she felt wronged. Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua saw through her weakness and had the upper hand over her.
Lu Baiwei no longer wants to be controlled by Lu Jianguo and his wife.
Why should the elder sister raise Lu Wenhua? Lu Wenhua is not her biological child.
Lu Baiwei made up her mind to make a big deal about the incident between Lu Jiaojiao, Yin Zhi and the rolling haystack, so that everyone on the team would know that Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua were extremely biased and had forced her into a desperate situation.
This time Lu Baiwei was very talkative.
She choked up and said, "Auntie, my dad told me not to compete with Jiaojiao for Yin Zhihe..."
Lu Baiwei was so sad that she burst into tears, and she choked up and couldn't continue speaking.
The people surrounding her all started to curse Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua.
"It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Lu Jianguo is simply not a human being. What kind of nonsense is this?"
"From the beginning to the end, it was Lu Jiaojiao who was trying to steal Wei Wei's kiss. One moment she was clamoring to marry He Ting, and then she turned around and went to the haystack with Yin Zhihe to do something shameful."
"Weiwei, you are just too soft!"
"You can't do this. You'll always be bullied. You have to go to Old Tang's house and ask your uncle for support."
"If not, we are still here. We will help you tear off the stinky faces of Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua..."
"Aunt, you treat me better than my dad."
Lu Baiwei nodded obediently, her eyes reddened: "Then I'll go back to cut grass for the cows and go to work, and take time to visit my uncle's house at noon."
"My dad is so wrong. How could I compete with Jiaojiao for Yin Zhihe?"
"He Ting is an educated youth from the city. He is so handsome. With He Ting as a partner, I can eat two more bowls of rice."
"How can Yin Zhi compare to He Ting? I'm not blind..."
Lu Baiwei had no idea. She was cutting grass for the cows by the stream and chatting with the aunt and sister-in-law when He Ting came down the slope with a bundle of firewood.
When the educated youth who were collecting firewood with He Ting heard Lu Baiwei praising He Ting for his good looks, they burst out laughing.
