This is definitely not what Su Manhun said.
Zhao Baili told Gao Man this as a joke. Unfortunately, although Huang Ermei was a relative of the village chief's wife, she was not in Zhao Baili's eyes.
Even though he was bold enough to give Zhao Baili a bellyband as a gift, he still couldn't win his heart.
Seeing that Huang Ermei was so ashamed and angry, Su Man didn't say anything else, but looked around.
The few who had just been gossiping about her shut up when they saw how easily she had dismissed Zhang Cuihua and Huang Ermei. They looked around, not daring to meet her gaze.
Su Man was very satisfied when she saw this, but a melancholy expression appeared on her face.
"I know you followed Zhang Cuihua in gossiping about me, just for fun. But as women, we naturally know how important reputation is. No matter who it is, as long as they say a few words or look at a man, people will make up gossip about them. Today it's me, tomorrow it could be you. The world makes things difficult for women, so we women should not make things difficult for ourselves."
After saying that, Su Man didn't care about their reactions, she just got on the small basket and left.
After Suman left, the women who had gathered together to gossip also dispersed.
-
When Su Man arrived at the field, Wang Fugui and Wang Fengye were applying fertilizer there with their hats on.
Su Man raised her voice and said, "Brother, Third Brother, it's time to eat."
When Wang Fengye heard Su Man's voice, he dropped his hoe and ran towards her.
He looked at Su Man, whose face was sunburned, and frowned, "It's hot."
Su Man was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you hot?"
Wang Fengye shook his head. Seeing that she didn't understand, he simply took off his hat and covered her head with it, nodding with satisfaction, "It's not hot."
Su Man laughed. It turned out that he meant that she would feel hot without wearing a hat.
Wang Fugui, who was standing by, jokingly said, "My third brother has grown up and knows how to love his wife."
Although Wang Fengye didn't know what Wang Fugui meant, seeing Su Man and Wang Fugui laughing, he laughed too.
The two dimples on his lips flickered, adding a touch of cuteness to his tough temperament.
...
They found a shady place to eat.
Su Man pointed at the lush green land and asked, "Brother, what are you growing in this land?"
Wang Fugui swallowed the vegetable dumpling in his mouth and said, "Rice and corn are grown here, and next to them are potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, cabbage, and cucumbers."
Su Man was surprised, "So many kinds?"
"Yes, the more we plant, the more we can eat."
“…”
It turns out that in Daming Village, although each villager is engaged in farming, they only grow enough for their own consumption.
If you want to eat something else, just exchange your own dishes with others as long as there is enough to eat.
Su Man thought for a moment and said, "If we pick a little more of the same kind and sell them in town or city, we'll have more money on hand."
Wang Fugui waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there are shops in town, why would they buy ours? Besides, if the villagers knew about this, they would laugh at us."
This was the first time Su Man heard this, and she was puzzled. "We grow our own crops and sell them. Why would anyone laugh at us?"
"In Daming Village, every family grows only as much as they can eat. We grow crops and sell them for money, so they laugh at us for being so money-minded."
Su Man understood.
People in this era were still relatively conservative. Influenced by earlier movements, they were proud to be poor peasants or workers, while those who engaged in business were all labeled as speculators and profiteers. Although they were not criticized or persecuted, they were still not allowed to be publicly treated.
If it is physical poverty, there is always a solution, but if it is poverty of mind, it is difficult to deal with.
...
Su Man was worried about this matter and was still thinking about it at night.
In this era, entertainment facilities are not well developed, and there are no shortcuts to making money. If you want to help the Wang family get rich, you have to rely on your own hands.
Although the family is still very poor at the moment, Su Man firmly believes that as long as she works hard, she will become rich.
Su Man was just thinking about it when Wang Fengye came in from outside.
He had just taken a shower in the yard and his feet were still wet, so he walked in his slippers.
Although Wang Fengye's intelligence is not fully developed, he is very clean. He smells like soap every day, which is quite pleasant.
When Wang Fengye entered the room, he was holding a basin in one hand and the other hand was behind his back. It was obvious that he was hiding something.
Suman looks amused.
But Wang Fengye didn't know that he had been seen through. He struggled to move one hand, trying to hide the truth.
Su Man thought that he might have picked up some stones or something, so she ignored him and locked the door with her back to him, giving him enough time to hide his treasure.
"Go to bed early."
Su Man didn't hear the answer. When she turned around, she saw Wang Fengye standing behind her, which scared her.
"Ouch."
Su Man patted her chest. She glanced at Wang Fengye and said angrily, "What are you going to do if you don't sleep?"
Even when the beauty was staring at people, she still had some charm in her eyes. She stared at Wang Fengye straight in the eyes and said with a silly smile, "Wife, you are so beautiful."
Su Man smiled. She didn't expect that Wang Fengye had such a strong desire to survive.
She was no longer angry, took the quilt off the cabinet, and urged, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and go to sleep quickly."
"I have something for you."
There was suppressed excitement in Wang Fengye's voice, and his eyes were so clear that Su Man could even see her own reflection in them.
Only then did she realize that the thing Wang Fengye had been hiding for a long time was for her, and her tone softened a bit, "What?"
Wang Fengye held his hand behind his back and extended it to Su Man, "Here you go."
