Chapter 82 Women Are Not Inferior
It's not that they didn't want to walk fast, but their stomachs were growling the whole way, and they were so hungry that they didn't have the energy to walk fast even if they wanted to.
"No, I won't leave. I won't leave."
Hu Yun, who was at the end of the team, sat down on the ground without caring whether the area under his butt was clean or not. He just sat down first.
"I can't walk anymore. I'm starving."
"I'm not leaving either."
Hu Laosan also sat down.
Hu Laoer naturally sat down as well, and even leaned his head back and lay down on the country dirt road.
As the eldest brother, Hu Wenguang is not as unpresentable as his younger brothers and sisters.
But he was indeed weak in the arms and legs and very hungry.
"Mom, did you bring any food?"
He asked Mrs. Hu.
Old Mrs. Hu, who was so tired that she was also panting on a big rock, waved her hands and said, "What do you want to bring? We went to your wife's family's house to eat meat. What if we eat our fill first?"
"Of course I'm going to be full, so I'll eat the meat well when I get there."
With such a wishful thinking in mind, Mrs. Hu would definitely not bring any food.
She just wanted to take advantage of Lao Jiang's family, and didn't think about whether she could walk such a long distance on an empty stomach.
I am now halfway there. The sun is high in the sky and I feel tired and thirsty. I want to go back home but it is not possible. I don't have the strength to keep going forward.
Thinking about the journey ahead, the family members began to complain that Mrs. Hu was too stingy.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come."
Hu Yun was the first one to quit.
Her two brothers also followed her and said, "That's right, we don't even have food to eat. We are starving to death. How can we go to Lao Jiang's house to eat meat?"
"Don't worry that by the time you get to Old Jiang's house, there will be a few starving corpses on the road."
Although the Hu brothers and sisters look lazy and greedy, they are actually quite humorous.
Old Mrs. Hu was so angry at them that she almost died.
"What are you guys yelling about? Are you blaming me now? I took you to Lao Jiang's house because I felt bad that you hadn't eaten meat for a long time."
"Mom, you are just too stingy. If you want to take advantage of others, you have to let us eat first."
Hu Laoer spoke.
Hu Laosan immediately said, "That's right, mother, the distance to the village is more than 100 miles. We have to walk there on our own two feet, and we don't even have food to eat. How long will it take us to get there?"
“My feet are all blistered.”
Hu Yun rubbed his feet and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Old Mrs. Hu was almost mad at her children. She had a mouthful of blood stuck in her heart that she could neither swallow nor spit out.
"Boss, what do you say?"
There was no other way but to scold his eldest son.
When Jiang Meiyue was around, she also served as a tool for Mrs. Hu to vent her anger.
Now that the punching bag is gone, she can't scold the three younger ones, so she can only vent her anger on Hu Wenguang with an angry face.
So Hu Wenguang replied to his mother that if he was not careful, she would scold him.
Hu Wenguang glanced at his brothers and sisters who were neither standing nor sitting properly, and frowned, "Mom, how about we go home first?"
If they didn't go home and went to Lao Jiang's house in a group, they would feel that it would bring shame to the Hu family.
Although everyone in Kaoshan Village knew their family's background, in Qianjin Village, Hu Wenguang still wanted to save some face for Jiang Meiyue.
Maybe she won't be angry this way...
Hu Wenguang also understood in his heart that what he did to Jiang Meiyue that night was a bit too much, and she might be a little emotional.
"What? Go back?"
Mrs. Hu's voice suddenly became higher, as if Hu Wenguang was the first to speak back.
"What are you thinking? You want us to go back now? Do you want the whole village to laugh at our Hu family?"
"As expected, you forgot your mother after you got married. After we got married, you treated me like a piece of shit..."
Mrs. Hu was cursing.
Hu Lao Er and Lao San looked nonchalant.
Hu Yun also looked indifferent.
They have seen too many scenes like this.
Hu Wenguang anticipated that he would be scolded, so when Mrs. Hu was speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Just let her curse.
I got tired of scolding, so I stopped.
Jiang Mingyue and her friends, who were preparing wild vegetable dumplings at home, had no idea what was happening in the Hu family.
The eldest sister had never seen dumplings before and didn't know how to make them. She would be going to help in a few days, so Jiang Mingyue took this opportunity to teach her.
Jiang Meiyue was a good worker, so Jiang Mingyue didn't need to teach her too much. She just needed to demonstrate it to her twice and she would be able to do it.
Not to mention her, even Yaya who was sitting on the stool next to her had learned it.
Jiang Mingyue smiled and said, "Yaya is such a smart girl."
Such a smart and well-behaved girl was abused by the Hu family because she was not a son.
Jiang Mingyue sneered in her heart, that group of people in the Hu family were really stupid.
The sisters made more than a hundred wild vegetable dumplings together.
In order to ensure the taste of the dumplings, of course they are not filled entirely with wild vegetables, but also mixed with meat.
After wrapping the dumplings, Jiang Manyue came back from school and Gu Dongqing also arrived home soon after.
Jiang Mingyue took her elder sister to make dumplings. Gu Dongqing took out a bag containing two brand new children's clothes, which he brought back from the county.
This was bought for Yaya by her uncle.
Seeing the beautiful new pink clothes, Yaya didn’t dare to blink her big eyes, which were full of desire and disbelief.
"Ya Ya, don't you like it?"
The old lady asked with a smile.
Jiang Manyue took the clothes and put them on Hu Yaya. "It looks great, Yaya. You will have new clothes in the future."
"I wanted to give you my new clothes, but you were too small to wear them."
Jiang Manyue is not very old, but she still acts like an elder in front of her younger and more pitiful niece.
That little adult-like look is really laughable.
Hu Yaya shook her head quickly, and when she looked at the people around her with smiles on their faces, tears began to fall.
The man also burst into tears.
"My grandma said that people who lose money can't wear new clothes!"
The look of liking someone but not daring to say it out loud is so heartbreaking to watch.
Jiang Mingyue just came in to call people for dinner and happened to hear what Hu Yaya said. The smile on her face froze.
This damn Hu family deserves to die.
A child like Yaya should be at a carefree age, but the damn old woman of the Hu family planted the seed in her heart that women are inferior to others.
Damn it.
Jiang Mingyue walked forward and smiled as she held Yaya's shoulders. "Yaya, girls are not money losers. We are equal to boys."
"What they can have, we can have too. We are not inferior."
She hopes that both Yaya and Manyue can have such awareness.
Women are not inferior.
Hu Yaya couldn't fully understand what Jiang Mingyue said, but she was deeply impressed by Jiang Mingyue's expression at that moment.
Many years later, she could still clearly remember the look on her face the night her second aunt, whose ideas went beyond those of ordinary villagers, told her about gender equality.
So steadfast.
