As soon as Jianjun left, the older women and young wives behind him came up to talk to Meili.
"Meili, is this your brother and sister-in-law from your maternal family coming to visit you?"
"Yes, let's go out for dinner together tonight. This family hasn't gotten together in a long time."
"What good stuff did your brother and sister-in-law bring you from Xia City? Let us see what fashionable things they brought you."
"That's right, we've never been to Xia City before, so we can borrow your place."
When Meili heard what they said, she understood why they had come to talk to her. She was also different from when she first came to the village; she had matured in her dealings with people.
"Then you guys take a look, but this thing can't be damaged by looking at it."
Beauty opened the cloth, revealing so many things, which she didn't know what they were, and she looked at them as she opened it.
"Look at these leather shoes, the quality is really good, the upper is shiny, they're great stuff."
"And this face cream, this cold cream, you can't see these around here, and this scarf."
"This must be roast duck. I've heard my relatives talk about it; it's a real delicacy."
“Meili, you have such a good brother and sister-in-law. They always think of you when they have something good. Your family is truly blessed.”
"Yes, my brother and sister-in-law are really nice people, and they treat us well."
"That's right, these things are hard to buy, and the price can't be lowered. This is a really good deal."
"Alright, we'll be going now. We still need to go to my sister-in-law's for dinner. The whole family will be together, so I need to change my clothes."
"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead and get busy."
Watching Guo Meili walk away, the villagers were filled with envy. What woman wouldn't want nice leather shoes and a scarf? This made Guo Meili the talk of the village.
"Honey, my brother brought all these good things. We don't find anything like this in the city."
"That's right, they gave us quite a lot of things. This roast duck is for the village head. He's helped us a lot over the years, and we can't forget his help."
"And this scarf, give one to Aunt Li's family up ahead. In the beginning, our family was in such a difficult situation. Our children were always being looked after by others. We didn't even have anyone to help us. This is all thanks to them."
“We’ll keep the leather shoes for ourselves for now. As for the rest, my brother and sister-in-law gave us quite a lot. It’s hardest to repay favors like this. We have to remember those who are good to us.”
"If we know how to be grateful, they will continue to help us when we need something in the village. It's a give-and-take relationship."
"Okay, wife, I'll go right away. I've been so grateful to you and your brother all these years. My mother and I haven't been in touch much since we separated. You've suffered a lot both at home and outside."
"Hey, stop talking about these things. We have our own child now, isn't that wonderful? Let's not dwell on the past, so as not to hurt our feelings."
"My brother and sister-in-law have given me a lot of face. The village's attitude towards us has changed a lot because of my nephew's admission to Xiamen University."
“Going to school is very important; it leads to a bright future. Our son also needs to study hard.”
"Yes, honey, we have to try no matter what. Only by studying can we change our current life. We have to work hard and make sure we can send our child to school."
