Chapter 13 Discussion
Tan Yanlu helped Jiang Panyu, firstly because Jiang Panyu was "one of their own", and if she didn't help her own people, would she help outsiders?
Second, because Jiang Panyu was so small and Chen Shilei was so aggressive, she didn't dare to bully others, so she only picked on the weak.
Tan Yanlu just couldn't stand Shen Shilei's bullying, so she wanted to stand up for Jiang Panyu.
It turns out that you can’t judge a person by his appearance. Although Jiang Panyu looks well-behaved, she turns out to be a black-hearted person. She likes this kind of character!
The train journey lasted for quite a while, and the young educated youth did not just eat and sleep, they also had some entertainment activities, such as singing revolutionary songs in chorus. This was an activity where they could show off their singing skills even if they were out of tune. No one would laugh or scold them whether they sang well or not.
Of course, there are also people who don’t like singing. For example, Yang Guoying and Chen Lamei are not interested in singing. They prefer all kinds of gossip about family matters.
Jiang Panyu did not join the singing group either. She was bored so she started telling Tan Yanlu little stories.
So, the gossip version of the poverty alleviation tool script came out.
“There’s a sister living near our welfare home, she’s very pretty, she’s the prettiest girl on our street.
It's a pity that he has such a bad fate. He has gone crazy at such a young age!"
"Ah, why is this?" It was Duan Zheng who asked this question. Although Tan Yanlu didn't say anything, her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Yes? Why?" Yang Guiying's Chen Lamei also came over, took out a handful of peanuts from her pocket, and asked curiously while peeling them.
Jiang Panyu sighed, "Alas, that sister's parents are such bad people that they want to marry their daughter to an old man. I heard that the man even gave her a lot of gifts.
She also said that if she gave birth to a son, she would find a job for the sister.
The old man was almost 60 years old, and the sister was not willing to do that, so she went to work in the countryside.
I heard that people who went to the countryside were cheated a lot, and that’s where people go crazy.”
"Ah! What's going on? Doesn't the Youth League Office care about it?" Tan Yanlu couldn't help but ask.
"I also heard it from others. I heard that the sister took a lot of money with her when she went to the countryside. She was also very pretty, so after a few visits, she was noticed by someone.
That's right, someone asked some hooligans to harass her and she was scared. Then someone came out to protect her sister, and she got married in a panic, in the countryside. "
"Who scared her? Why didn't she ask the brigade for help? The Youth League Office would definitely not ignore it if they knew about it. Why did she get married?"
Duan Zheng was also very curious and asked a series of questions.
Jiang Panyu lowered her voice and said in a mysterious tone: "I heard that it was the man she married who hired someone to scare her.
I just know that sister is rich and pretty.
I heard that the man's family is very poor and the whole family depends on him for support. In addition to his parents and sister, he also has to support two children.
After that sister got married, she spent all the money she saved on the man and children.
Not only do I have to do farm work in the fields, but I also have to be bullied by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law when I get home.
And I heard that those two children are very domineering and don't allow their elder sister to have children.
Then the man actually agreed and didn’t let the sister have the baby.”
"Ah, this is too much. What happened next?" The one who asked this question was Shen Shilei, who had been listening for a long time.
The three people looked at her at the same time, and Shen Shilei blushed instantly: "I just asked, why are you looking at me like that? Can you tell me that I can't listen!"
The three of them turned their heads back again and ignored Shen Shilei.
Yang Guiying asked Jiang Panyu: "Jiang sister, where did your sister go to work in the countryside? How could she bully others like this? It's so unreasonable."
That's right! Everyone nodded unconsciously, with a look of approval on their faces!
Jiang Panyu continued, "Later, the man used the sister's money to get a job as a worker in the city.
The man became a worker in the county, and then his family moved to the city.
As a result, the man died less than half a year after the good days ended.
After the man died, the sister discovered that all the valuable things in the house had been given by the man to his mother and his two children.
The job that the man left behind was not left to the sister, and the sister didn't get a penny!
The elder sister was unwilling to accept this and wanted to sue them. Do you know what happened? The elder sister was actually sold out by them secretly.
I heard that he was sold to a remote mountain village, and when he was rescued, he had been tortured to the point of insanity and was also mute!
Later, the sister sent the child back home, but in the middle of the night, the sister went crazy and ran to the river, where she fell and died.”
Tan Yanlu couldn't help but say, "This is too pitiful. How is that man's family?"
Jiang Panyu drank a sip of water and then said slowly, "That guy's family is doing well, because that sister didn't get a marriage certificate with that guy, and when she got married, there was no witness or anything.
So when the man died, people refused to acknowledge that he had such a daughter-in-law. Also, it was heard that outsiders were bullied in that place, so the sister could not get justice!
I heard that there was no evidence to prove that the man’s family sold the sister, so the sister was ruined just like that.
When I came out, the orphanage told me not to just find someone to marry in the countryside!"
This modified version of the gossip story about the stepmother who helps the poor and gives herself away for money was deliberately told by Jiang Panyu to encourage Tan Yanlu.
It would be good if this could alert her.
Even if Tan Yanlu doesn't take it seriously now, it would be good for her to be more vigilant when she encounters Gao Shaolin's problems in the future.
Anyway, it is impossible to forcibly break the bad relationship between Tan Yanlu and Gao Shaolin, but Jiang Panyu thinks it is still possible to make Tan Yanlu change slowly imperceptibly.
Tan Yanlu did not disappoint Jiang Panyu for telling this story with so much effort. She nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. We are still young. It won't be too late to get married in a few years."
Jiang Panyu nodded naturally.
Because Shen Shilei, who had broken up with them before, also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Because Jiang Panyu told this little story, the distance between the few people was shortened, and Shen Shilei finally talked to them.
It’s just that they are not as close as Jiang Panyu, Tan Yanlu and Duan Zheng.
The four of them, plus the two aunts, started a discussion about Jiang Panyu's fabricated sister.
Yang Guiying said: "If you ask me, the girl is just too ignorant and timid. She was bullied by the little hooligans, why didn't she go to the commune?
She was so stupid that she married herself without knowing whether she was suitable to marry. "
"Indeed, that girl is quite stupid. The family conditions of that man are so poor that even rural girls, let alone city girls, would not want to marry him. She is so stupid that she hurriedly married herself after being frightened.
It's not that I look down on you city girls. You are very good at studying. Sometimes I feel that you read too many books and your brains have become stupid.
His mind is full of love and affection, and he is so coaxed by a handful of candy and a flower that he has no idea what is going on. But he can't eat this stuff. "The person who said this was Chen Lamei. It can be seen that she was very touched. I wonder whose story this is.
