Chapter 56
The three of them were carrying their belongings and holding two umbrellas in the scorching heat. They wanted to go shopping a bit, but the weather was too hot, so they decided to take the bus back.
Wang Jiazhi bought three bottles of orange-flavored soda. Drinking the iced soda felt really refreshing.
After returning, Huang Liju insisted on taking them to a nearby roast meat shop to eat. They argued at the door of the shop for a long time but still refused to go in.
Huang Liju said, "If you don't want to go in and eat, I'll buy some and send it to your room."
They knew that Huangliju would definitely do this, so they went in and ate.
Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang, feeling embarrassed to order something expensive, opted for a barbecued pork and a boiled chicken with rice. Huang Liju, however, went for half a roast goose. She said it was a significant saving over her budget, and she used the money to treat them to a meal as a thank you.
Wang Jiazhi smiled and said, "I finally had the remaining money, so I don't need it."
Huang Liju said, "It's okay. You guys saved the money for me. I used it to buy food for us to eat together. I'm really benefiting from you."
Wang Jiazhi and Xiao Shuang thought to themselves at the same time: "How could such a good person become blind?"
During the meal, Huang Liju said, "Meng Shunying must be buying fabric for Kuang Yumin. She's really infatuated. The way she looks at Kuang Yumin is full of affection."
Xiao Shuang said, "How dare you say that about her? Is she more infatuated than you? By the way, why did you suddenly think of buying such expensive clothes for your boyfriend? Didn't he just have a birthday and you just gave him a gift?"
Huang Liju said, "To be good to someone, there's no need for a special day. I see everyone else has nice clothes, so I want to buy him one too. What do you think? The material Meng Shunying bought is more expensive than mine. Will Kuang Yumin steal his limelight if he wears it?"
Xiao Shuang was stunned. Wang Jiazhi thought to herself, "They are a pair of beasts, even worse than animals. Is there any need to distinguish between the main and the subordinate?"
Huang Liju said, "You are planning to make one for Wen Runze too, right? I see you have been eyeing it for a long time."
"No, no, I'm just taking a look." During the chat, Huangliju would also ask Xiaoshuang about her boyfriend, but Huangliju always boasted about how good her boyfriend was. Xiaoshuang rarely mentioned her own boyfriend anymore, thinking that mentioning her boyfriend together with Huangliju's boyfriend was an insult to Wen Runze.
Huang Liju said, "He said, Zhou Minlin, or Kuang Yumin, they only gained prominence because of their fancy clothes. Their looks and temperament are nowhere near as good as his. If he also had a nice outfit, he would definitely be more handsome than them."
Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang nearly spit out their food, and quickly took a sip of their soda. They drank too quickly and started burping.
Wang Jiazhi recalled the time she told Old Wu and Kuang Yumin about the ring. She heard Old Wu and Kuang Yumin in the inner room say, "That old pervert has been lustful since he was young. If he wasn't willing to spend money on women, and he's ugly and short, how could he have gotten that?"
She was originally very depressed and sad, but she couldn't help laughing.
Although women are the ones who like to dress up the most, she thinks men are the most narcissistic.
Jealousy among women is when they know their partner is better than them, and because they can’t compare, they become jealous and resentful. Jealousy among men is when they feel their partner is inferior to them in every way, yet they are better than them, and they are unwilling to accept this, leading to jealousy and resentment.
I don’t know what they were like when they were young, but Wang Jiazhi thought they were probably like Zhou Minlin and Kuang Yumin, who disliked and were unwilling to accept each other.
When he was younger, Old Wu probably felt that the three or four centimeters he was taller than Old Yi was a stark contrast between the lives of giants and those of dwarfs. Later, when he had children, he probably felt even more superior.
Old Yi is still very popular with women, even if his looks and status are not important. If he had been a gigolo in his youth, there would probably be many people willing to support him. Mrs. Ma's resentful and unwilling eyes show that she really likes Old Yi. It is true that he doesn't talk much, but he is very good at winning people's hearts, and...
Kuang Yumin is afraid of Old Wu, but he also admires him very much. Wang Jiazhi thinks that his ideal self should be like Old Wu.
The cruel and majestic feeling that all those above the high positions, even saints, are ants.
Kuang Yumin's ability to control the overall situation back then was simply ridiculous in front of Old Wu.
Sure enough, some people just like the feeling of being enslaved by the strong.
Wang Jiazhi felt that she was a sinner of all time, but this guilt was directed towards the country and the people.
Or maybe it sounded pretentious, but she meant it.
She felt sorry for her family, country and the world, but she did not feel sorry for them.
Kuang Yumin is just a despicable person who wants to reap the benefits without any effort. The same goes for Old Wu. Old Yi killed his wife and children, so he wants other people's wives and children to die to avenge him.
They are people who don't care if the knife hurts themselves or if it hurts others to death.
Old Wu had already left a way out for himself, but he didn't leave any hope for others to survive. However, Kuang Yumin and the others appeared at the execution ground together, which showed that no one had taken the medicine.
