Chapter 15 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred



Song Wanyue said disheartenedly, "I am also a person, a living person. If I lie down with Gu Dahai and get caught by the villagers, you know what my fate will be."

"Either you marry Gu Dahai or I'll sue him for being a hooligan. But if Gu's father is still the captain, will he watch his son die? He will definitely hold me accountable. You know where my home is in the capital. You're going to find someone to cause trouble. You think I will compromise, right?"

"In this era, if a woman loses her virginity before marriage, her reputation will be ruined, and her family will also be implicated. The rumors will be suffocating."

"So, I say, Zhou Shanshan, you are so cruel. I have been sincere to you since I was a child, and you treat me like this. Have I made you jealous and envious?"

This also makes sense.

Zhou Shanshan seemed to be right, "I, I..."

Song Wanyue: "I know what you're thinking, and you understand what I mean, so we can't be friends anymore. When you see me in the future, stay away from me, so that your bad luck won't be passed on to me.

You've only been in the Gu family for a short time, but you've already lost your position as captain. Well, I won't say much. I'm hungry, so I should go back and make something to eat."

However, Gu's father is not innocent. He had an affair with a widow and had two illegitimate children. It is also outrageous for Zhou Lanhua to occupy the Yang family's house with someone from another family.

That's Father Gu's child.

In the previous life, how did Gu's father scold the original owner? Oh, he said that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and was of no use at home.

After Gu Dahai became rich, Gu's father and Zhang Shufen became more temperamental and asked the original owner to take care of all the housework.

Whenever the original owner showed some disapproval, Gu Dahai would curse at him, and everyone in the Gu family would bully the original owner.

It was clearly them who gave the original owner the contraceptive pill.

There is no doubt that it was Zhou Shanshan who whispered in Gu Dahai's ear, fearing that the original owner would give birth to a son and have an easier life in the Gu family.

Zhou Shanshan must have been very proud to see her old friend, who was living a good life, being deceived and teased.

As the sun sets, Zhou Shanshan looks at Song Wanyue's departing back, unable to forget it for a long time.

She seemed to have really lost this friend.

Yes, who can accept someone who betrays them, especially in such a vicious way as to destroy a woman's reputation?

Song Wanyue touched her hungry stomach and sighed, "I really want to eat meat."

As far as I can remember, I only ate meat twice this month, both times at state-owned restaurants.

The last time I ate meat was ten days ago.

After counting my belongings, I decided to buy an old hen and make some soup for it when I return to my space.

Right now, everyone in the village has gone to work, and they have to give money to others.

-

Song Wanyue stood outside the yard, staring at Grandma Xie's house in a daze.

If she returns to the city after the college entrance examination, she will have a family.

Xie Guihua is embroidering a wedding dress. Her granddaughter is getting married, and since her mother’s skills are not good enough, she has to do it.

"Juanzi, look at this lotus embroidery. Do you want to learn from me?"

She is not bragging. The embroidery skill was taught by her grandmother herself. Her grandmother was an embroiderer and the skill was passed down to the family. Anyone with talent can learn it.

She is the best learner.

Zhu Wenjuan said happily: "Song Zhiqing, come in and sit down. Grandma, look, Song Zhiqing is here."

She was afraid to learn embroidery, so she started learning it when she was ten years old. It was too painful to prick her fingers, and her fingers were connected to her heart, so she decided to give up on this painful job and go work in the fields.

Xie Guihua looked up and saw Song Wanyue standing at the door. She said enthusiastically, "Song Zhiqing, come in and sit down. Come and talk to Wenjuan. She's been staying at home these days preparing for her wedding and is bored."

Xie Guihua smiled and said, "Juanzi, go pour a bowl of sugar water for Song Zhiqing, no, Wanyue."

"Okay!" Zhu Wenjuan nodded and went into the house.

Song Wanyue smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I'm here to thank you. If it weren't for you, Zhou Lanhua wouldn't have accepted it so quickly. I'll come to your house to buy an old hen. Are you willing to give it up?"

These days, old hens are very valuable. A pound of eggs costs 70 cents, which can be called a chicken butt bank.

Generally, a family only keeps three.

Song Wanyue stuffed the money into Grandma Xie's hand, "Grandma Xie, you are so polite."

"I'm not being polite. You're a distinguished guest, and you've come to give me money. If there are good things like this in the future, just call me. You want an old hen? Fine. But if you bring it back to the educated youth camp, will anyone be so shameless as to ask for meat?"

Not everyone at the educated youth camp was as easy to talk to as Song Zhiqing, especially Yang Liu, who had a loud voice. If anyone asked her something, she would tell everything and make a lot of noise, even quarreling with the young girls and wives in the village.

Song Wanyue said, "I won't go back to the educated youth camp to eat. I'll grill it myself. It's okay. Please pick a fat one for me."

I'm not used to the food here yet, it's too light, so I just had sweet potato porridge for lunch.

The food in the educated youth camp was not good either. If they had some money, they would go to state-owned restaurants to eat. Generally, they would pool their money to buy meat only during festivals. Outside of festivals, they could only eat meat once or twice a month.

This is still good enough. Some villagers don’t even have meat once a month.

In her original world, she was a meat lover. Her body needed nutrition, so she had meat for almost every meal.

Otherwise, the body cannot support so much exercise.

This time, she will prepare funds first. When she is able to do business, she will buy a shop and become a boss. She will continue to sell snacks and write novels. When she has enough money, she will open an entertainment company and she wants to be a screenwriter.

Xie Guihua nodded: "Just be aware of this. There are many educated youths here, so it's inevitable that some of them have bad intentions. Although I took your money this time, I also took a risk. You know, Gu Weimin has been the team leader in the village for more than ten years."

"I also feel resentful. When the village was selecting tractor drivers, my youngest son's skills were clearly good enough. The village selected three people to learn, and they all passed. Unexpectedly, everyone voted and selected Gu Dacheng, Gu Weimin's nephew."

"Looking at those who voted, I know what's going on. They agreed to something, but then changed their mind. I know why."

"I know what will happen to my family if I don't bring down Father Gu. I have finally gotten rid of this anger."

The knot in my heart that had been there for many years was finally resolved.

Song Wanyue said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma. The college entrance examination has been resumed. Life will get better and better in the future. You are in good health. You will see that people will not be confined to the countryside in the future. You can look around more. There will be many job opportunities in the future."

Just wait a few more years.

Xie Guihua said thoughtfully: "Okay, you are from the capital, I believe what you say, there are so many high-ranking officials and capable people living there. Speaking of which, I also want to go to the capital to take a look, how good it is. My father joined the army and stayed in the capital. That battle killed 130,000 people, and my father's body was not found."

After saying that, Xie Guihua got up, grabbed an old hen from the chicken coop, and tied it up with a straw rope.

"Wanyue, give me five dollars. It's a little over five pounds. I'll count it as five pounds for you, one dollar per pound. I won't weigh it."

Song Wanyue handed over the money with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law. I'm in luck. I'm leaving now. By the way, please keep the matter a secret."

I still have more than a month before I return to the city. I still have to review and prepare for the exam, so I have to get my health back in shape.

Xie Guihua said: "Okay, hey, drink the sugar water later, I've poured it for you."

Hearing this, Song Wanyue drank some sugar water and chatted for a while before leaving.
