Chapter 179 The Suffering of Nie Laosan’s Wife
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huo Jinyun and Su Wanru got married. This wedding was a grand occasion for Pingxi Village and even the entire commune. Many people came to watch the fun. In the evening, a movie was shown. It was "The Legend of White Snake" and "Lu Siniang", which were popular among rural people. Everyone hadn't watched a movie for many years, so this time they finally had a blast. The children were so happy that they jumped up and down.
That night, everyone slept in.
The next morning, it was time to visit relatives. Liu Guizhi also had to go to her parents' home, as Ning Huiyue had to visit Huixin and Huiru. After some discussion, Gu Shengtian accompanied Liu Guizhi back to her parents' home, while Fubao accompanied Ning Huiyue to visit Huixin and Huiru. It just so happened that there was an oxcart in the neighboring village that went to Huixin Village, so they could take a ride.
Over the years, Fubao would visit Huixin and Huiru every one or two years, so they were quite familiar with each other. Both of them had lived a good life over the years. Huixin raised pigs, and her family became one of the best in the village. Huiru, relying on her husband's ability to massage and read bones, opened a small shop specializing in reading bones. Now her life is getting better and better.
The mother and daughter carried two large bags full of various specialties from the capital and went to find Huixin first. Huixin was naturally happy to see them. When she heard that Fubao had found his biological mother, she was also excited. She followed them to see Huiru, and they all had dinner at Huiru's house.
During the meal, Huiru recalled what the abbot had said: "The abbot said that Fubao was a person of great fortune, so he was named Fubao. Now it seems that it is true."
Huixin naturally agreed when she thought about the past, and then she sighed again and again: "When we were still nuns, holding a little Fubao, I was worried, thinking that such a small child would have a miserable life. He would grow up with us nuns, and when he grows up, he will only be able to chant sutras, eat vegetarian food and beat wooden fish."
When she said this, Huiru burst out laughing.
They lived in a nunnery back then, and their daily life consisted of diving, cooking, chanting sutras and beating wooden fish. They never imagined that the world would change in the future and that they would live such a good life!
These twenty years can be said to be the tremendous changes described in the book.
After returning from Huixin and Huiru's home, Ning Huiyue naturally had many feelings. The Fubao she had heard Liu Guizhi and Miao Xiujiu talk about before was a Fubao who was already five or six years old. The five or six-year-old Fubao was no longer the same as the little baby in her memory.
But now, she heard from these two people some things about Fubao's childhood, such as what Fubao looked like when he was first brought back to the nunnery, how cute his little mouth and hands were, and how sensible and obedient the little baby was without crying or making a fuss. This connected with the baby of a few months old that she had lost in her memory. Thinking about the things she had heard about Fubao's childhood these days, all the experiences of Fubao's childhood emerged in her mind, and her heart felt full.
God was really kind to her. After she experienced utter despair, she could still hear people talk about her daughter's childhood with such love, and she could still see such a good daughter by her side.
When the two of them came back, they still took the ox cart from the next village. When they arrived at the next village, the mother and daughter got off the cart and gave the candies that Huixin and Huiru had given them as gifts to the other party, thanking them for the ride. The other party was naturally very grateful. After all, they just took a ride, but they were given a bag of candies that they could take home and give to their children.
As they were walking back to the village, as soon as they arrived at the village entrance and greeted a few old ladies in the village, they saw someone looking at them with the sidelong eyes. Ning Huiyue felt something was wrong, so she looked over and saw a rural woman.
Did that woman look a dozen years older than him? Her face was as dry as a date pit, her cheekbones were prominent, and her slightly cloudy eyes were gazing at him. Her expression was unpleasant at first glance.
Ning Huiyue frowned secretly, then looked at Fubao. She subconsciously felt that Fubao should know this person.
Fubao also saw the woman.
This is Nie Lao San’s wife.
In fact, when Fubao was a child, Nie Laosan's wife had a good appearance. But in the past ten years or so, perhaps because appearance reflects the heart, her eyes have become more and more sour, and her face has become more and more mean. Now, I haven't seen her for half a year, and when I saw her at first glance, I found that she has aged a lot, and the eyelids at the corners of her eyes have drooped.
Before she could even open her mouth, Nie Lao San's wife said coldly, "Oh, the college students are back. They've become so famous. I can hardly recognize them here."
When Fubao heard the tone, he felt a familiar feeling, the familiar wife of Nie Lao San.
She smiled and said to Ning Huiyue beside her, "Mom, this is Aunt Nie Lao San. She adopted me for some time when I was a child."
Nie Laosan’s wife?
When Ning Huiyue heard these three words, she immediately became energetic. She stared at Nie Lao San's wife and almost wanted to rush over and slap her.
Is this the person who asked for 100 work points from the commune, but ended up mistreating her own Fubao? She said her own Fubao was a jinx, that she didn't want him anymore, and she even mistreat him and didn't give him enough food?
Thinking of her little daughter being treated like this, Ning Huiyue felt so angry that her chest ached and fire instantly flashed in her eyes.
She is not the type to quarrel with others, but anyone who bullies her daughter is her enemy.
Nie Laosan's wife glanced at Ning Huiyue and said, "Oh, you still have a mother?"
Ning Huiyue went to meet them at this time. She looked at Nie Laosan's wife with a smile and said, "So it's Nie San's wife. Speaking of which, I am still very grateful to you. It was all thanks to you back then!"
When Nie Laosan's wife heard this, she was stunned.
She looked at Ning Huiyue, and suddenly she remembered that Fubao's biological mother was rich, and she would give gifts to anyone she heard was good to Fubao.
When I came, I brought so many bags with me, and I left them all with Miao Xiujiu. She was very generous and never hesitated to give away things.
Such a person actually said that he was grateful to himself?
She should know that she raised Fubao when he was a child, right?
Then...will she give me something?
Nie Laosan's wife originally had no hope. She knew that Fubao didn't like her and that others didn't get along with her. She didn't expect Fubao's mother to give her anything, but now, a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in her heart.
Maybe this mother is a good person and gives gifts to everyone she meets?
Look at the tone of the person talking to her, he is so friendly and you can tell at first glance that he is a good person.
Nie Laosan's wife immediately put away her original sharp and sarcastic expression, replaced it with a smile, and stepped forward and said, "Fubao's mother, let me tell you, when Fubao first came to my house, I treated her very well!"
As soon as she said this, several old ladies nearby couldn't help but secretly spit in their hearts. It was really unacceptable to tell lies with open eyes. Grandma Hu was also nearby. Seeing that Nie Lao San's wife was talking nonsense, she was about to expose her on the spot.
Fubao's mother is a good person, generous and lenient. Don't be fooled by Nie Laosan's wife!
Fubao was very calm. She believed that her mother could understand what was going on at this time, so she just smiled and watched the fun from the side.
Just as everyone was about to speak, Ning Huiyue said, "You treat my Fubao well? Why did I hear that you treat my Fubao badly?"
Nie Laosan's wife was stunned: "This, this is not true, Fubao was young at the time, she didn't understand, others spread rumors and made her—"
As soon as he finished speaking, several old ladies nearby came over and said, "Mrs. Nie, stop talking nonsense here. What did you do to Fubao back then? Do you think we don't know? Fubao is young, but we are not. You can't fool people like this!"
Nie Laosan's wife gritted her teeth and glared at the old ladies. She couldn't help but want to curse, "What are you doing gossiping about these old ladies for no reason?"
Ning Huiyue smiled: "I have to thank you. You despised my Fubao and didn't want him. You even drove him out of the house. Only then did he enter the Gu family and have a better life. If you hadn't been so cruel to drive him out, I don't know how much suffering he would have endured staying in your house all these years! Just for this, I have to thank you!"
When these words were spoken, the old ladies were stunned at first, and then they all laughed, laughing so hard that they fell forward and backward, and tears were about to fall.
Oh my god, Fubao's mother is a city person after all, and her words are so interesting. She is really embarrassing Nie Lao San's wife!
Nie Laosan's wife had originally held a glimmer of hope in her heart, but when she heard this, her face turned blue and red, and she was so angry that she wanted to rush over and slap Ning Huiyue, but when she thought about it, Ning Huiyue was from the city, and even from the capital, and was said to be a high-ranking official, how could she dare not do that? She could only bear it in her heart!
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, she returned home angrily. When she got home, she saw her two children, Shengjin, reading a book.
Because he failed the exam last year, Shengjin hopes to try again next year. He now works on a farm during the day and studies the college entrance examination content on his own at night. In order to learn well, he borrows reference materials from others.
As for Sheng Yin, he has now given up on the college entrance examination and just made some fancy stuff, saying that he would sell them in the county town to make money, but he has not seen any return on his money so far.
Nie Laosan's wife was filled with anguish. She couldn't help but point at Shengjin and Shengyin and cursed them: "You two, you are all worthless! How could I have given birth to you two? If it weren't for you, Fubao would still be my good daughter!"
Suddenly I remembered the dream. In the dream, Fubao was her good daughter. Shengjin was admitted to a prestigious university, and Shengyin lived a good life. She was Fubao's mother, envied by everyone in the village. Those were such wonderful days!
Just thinking about it makes me hate it, so much so that I can’t accept it, and I beat and scold my children because of the hatred.
Shengyin glanced at her indifferently.
Today Huo Jinze suddenly came to her and asked her some questions, which she found very funny.
He believed what I said so easily. Who can I blame?
Serves you right.
After severely ridiculing Huo Jinze, Shengyin felt extremely happy.
Now she has earned some money privately. In a few years, the boundary between rural and urban areas will become blurred. Then she can go through the process of changing her agricultural status to non-agricultural and move to the city.
Life will definitely be better after moving to the city.
She doesn't like rural men, so she wants to go to the county town to look for one.
So she didn't care how Nie Lao San's wife scolded her.
As for Fubao... Shengyin sneered. How capable could that Xiao Dingkun be? He was just an unknown nobody that anyone had ever heard of. Fubao had already lost in this life by missing out on Huo Jinze.
For her, Shengyin, the most important thing now is to live her own life well. Once she lives well, she will be able to let Fubao know that she is the one who can truly live a good life.
Later, when she gets better and better and Fubao's life with Xiao Dingkun gets worse and worse, Fubao will understand what she has missed.
As for Shengjin, he didn't care at all what his mother said.
Many people were admitted to university, but he failed. He wanted to give himself another chance. He wanted to go to the city and experience the wider world.
So no matter what anyone said, he would study hard and get into university.
