With Tian Juan and Lao Yuan's encouragement, Wu Wei felt relieved. Qin Huairu was actually that kind of person?
Qin Huairu was dragged to the middle courtyard by the women in the courtyard and began to be criticized: "Qin Huairu, don't think you're the only one who can cry and play the victim."
Ask yourself honestly, whose life is easy?
"Who eats better than you and your child? Do you really think the people in the neighborhood are blind, and their hearts are blind too?"
"Waaah, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I'll never do it again." Qin Huairu cried out of grievance, she really cried, she cried terribly.
At that moment, through her blurry, tearful eyes, she caught sight of Xu Qi's figure in the distance and was filled with envy that almost drove her mad. Why did Xu Qi get to monopolize such a good man as Zheng Ya?
If Zheng Ya belonged only to him, then he would enjoy everything in the planting base and all of Zheng Ya's wealth!
The third aunt scoffed, "Pah! You're just a vixen, flirting and seducing people in the courtyard."
"Besides Sha Zhu, who's been bewitched by you and occasionally helps you out, who else in the courtyard has been bewitched by you? Tell me!"
"Auntie, I didn't offend you, why are you talking to me like that?" Qin Huairu felt extremely wronged. Was it my fault for marrying the wrong man?
That's all because the matchmaker Wang from the neighborhood praised Jia Dongxu to the skies, and how kind and charitable Jia Zhangshi was. She was a well-known philanthropist, and marrying into their family would bring you good fortune.
But what is the actual situation?
Jia Zhangshi was lazy and gluttonous. She would curse people at the drop of a hat, and would hit them at the drop of a hat. She was also good at throwing tantrums and summoning spirits to scare people. She was a complete scoundrel.
Jia Dongxu is treacherous and ruthless, a pickpocket who can't do good deeds but is utterly wicked.
Having seen through the true colors of Jia Zhangshi and her son, Qin Huairu also confronted Wang the matchmaker and got an explanation: how did Jia Zhangshi and her son become like this?
Oh dear, I've been tricked by the people in the courtyard house!
When Wang the matchmaker apologized on the spot, she shifted the blame onto the people in the courtyard. What could Qin Huairu say?
This is an era with a strong sense of collective honor.
The opinions of the neighbors are paramount.
Qin Huairu felt nothing but bad luck and hatred for everyone in the courtyard. From that moment on, she began to learn from Jia Zhangshi and her son how to harm others!
That thought was, if you won't let me have a good life, then none of us should have a good life!
Even if it's a bad situation, it's still better than going back to the countryside.
Let's just take it one day at a time!
The three women scoffed in annoyance, "You still have the nerve to say that?"
My husband kept saying that you weren't a good person and weren't qualified to register, but you insisted on crying and making things difficult for my husband so that he could register you.
You didn't get a job by drawing lots, and you still have the nerve to make a scene? Are you deliberately trying to prevent my man from being incompetent and unable to work at Zheng Ya's plantation?
"Waaah, I didn't, I really didn't!" Qin Huairu panicked. She was only thinking about getting a job at the planting base and had never considered the difficulties of others. What was she going to do now that she was being ganged up on and lectured?
Liu Lan slapped her across the face indignantly: "Qin Huairu, if you dare to flirt with my silly Zhu again, I'll gouge your eyes out and stomp on them, you believe me?"
"Ah, boohoo, I won't do it again, I really won't do it again!" Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. How could she have been caught by Sha Zhu even when he was subtly flirting with her?
This is so embarrassing!
Sha Zhu hides at home kneeling on a washboard, still feeling sorry for his dream girl through the crack in the door, unable to let go of his longing for his mother.
It's not that Sha Zhu has any real feelings for Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu's deep affection for his mother is embodied in Qin Huairu; he will never forget her in this lifetime.
In fact, Sha Zhu knew this very well and had explained it to Liu Lan, but unfortunately Liu Lan was uneducated and couldn't understand it at all, so she didn't believe him!
As a result, Liu Lan unleashed her power, and both Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu suffered the consequences.
Qin Huairu was slapped repeatedly by Liu Lan. The pain was on her face, and she felt humiliated, but Liu Lan also woke her up and made her start to question her life.
The wind has shifted in the courtyard house.
The spring breeze came from Zheng Ya, and the cold wind was almost assimilated by Zheng Ya's spring breeze. Qin Huairu began to doubt that she had been blown by the wrong wind, squinted, looked in the wrong direction, and taken the wrong path.
Do we really want to take the right path and become self-reliant and strong?
Qin Huairu was undecided.
At this moment, Director Wang arrived at the courtyard with ten people selected by the street office, which finally relieved Qin Huairu from her predicament. Qin Huairu did not dare to expose the people in the courtyard for hitting her, and quickly covered her face and ran away.
In fact, Director Wang had been there for a while, listening to people inside scolding and beating Qin Huairu, but he hadn't come in.
Instead, Director Wang used Qin Huairu's story to educate the four neighbors, warning them not to offend Zheng Ya and delay planting high-quality seeds for the country and the people.
Seizing the opportunity to enter the courtyard, Director Wang pretended that the incident of Qin Huairu being reprimanded by the people in the courtyard had never happened, and asked with a smile, "Who in your courtyard has been selected for a work position?"
"Haha, Director Wang is here! Come and sit down!" The third auntie hurriedly brought over a chair for Director Wang to sit down.
Liu Lan started rummaging through the loudspeaker: "Director Wang, you don't know, Zheng Ya's recruitment is decided by drawing lots based on luck."
Haha, I'm lucky, I got a spot! Haha!
"Haha, look how happy you are! You're not at home taking care of the kids, and Sha Zhu is supporting you, your daughter, and He Yushui. You just want to go to work!" Director Wang was envious. Both of them are working!
In fact, the monthly wage Zheng Ya paid to the temporary workers was not low, which was eighteen yuan.
Liu Lan works as a temporary worker at a steel rolling mill, washing vegetables and dishes, earning a monthly salary of only eighteen yuan and fifty cents, a little over fifty cents.
The benefits here in Zhengya are great!
Meals were provided, with meat at every meal, and rice and steamed buns were a privilege that ordinary families could only afford a few times a year.
And you get three meals a day, where else can you find that?
Liu Lan laughed happily, "Haha, my daughter is over three months old now, so it's convenient to take her with me while I do chores, and it won't interfere with anything."
Besides, expecting Sha Zhu to support the family is giving him too much credit.
We women should have our own ambitions and not let men look down on us, lest we embolden them. Don't you agree, Director?
"Haha, you're very insightful, but your explanation is wrong..." Director Wang was speechless. Your comprehension skills are unmatched.
Liu Lan said nonchalantly, "As long as the general meaning is the same, that's fine. Anyway, I think labor is glorious."
"It's so stifling to stay at home relying on a man for support, having no say in anything!"
"Haha, you've grown from this failed marriage, that's great!" Director Wang exclaimed, as Liu Lan stood up.
Qin Huairu hid in the distance, lost in thought. Was she even worse than Liu Lan?
The three women said smugly, "Director Wang, you've come at the right time. Our staff drew lots and got two permanent employees."
There are still two permanent employee positions that haven't been filled...
"Ahem, that's not how you talk. What are they supposed to think?" Director Wang stood up angrily and scolded the third aunt. This was stirring up trouble and causing a dispute!
To intimidate them and make their position in the compound clear.
The reason you're able to work at the plantation is because they've rejected the ones who didn't make it.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
The ten new neighbors on the street were all indignant. How could they be bullied like this?
In an instant, tensions rose, and they faced off!
