I can't help but wonder: how much more does she have that I don't know about?
"Oh, I think I'm warming myself by the fire. My throat is dry and I'm thirsty. Could you please pour me a bowl of water?" Su Xueli asked him politely.
Wei Mingshen immediately put down the scissors, got up and left.
A moment later, he came over with a bowl of hot water and said, "It's hot, drink it slowly."
Su Xueli accepted the drink with both hands. She hadn't had a drink in a long time, and her thoughts were churning.
Wei Mingshen, unaware of the situation, asked, "Is it still hot?"
She snapped out of her daze and said, "It's not hot anymore."
He then drank it down, sip by sip.
After finishing her water, Su Xueli was about to get up and put it on the table when Wei Mingshen reached out and took it, then bent down to continue cutting thatch and continued with her question from earlier.
"Life plans change with the environment. When I was in the army, I thought I would stay in the army and become a general in the future. However, I still retired along with my comrades in the same batch."
After returning, I wandered aimlessly for a long time, unsure of what to do, feeling utterly empty inside. Then I met Lin Meizhi… Oh, can I tell you about this?”
He was very considerate of her feelings.
Su Xueli quickly said, "You can say that, I'm not jealous of you."
Wei Mingshen continued, "I started dating her, but my parents objected, and we had a big fight... In the end, we got married."
He then shrugged.
Su Xueli inquired about his "white moonlight": "May I ask, what is it about her that attracts you? Is it her beauty or her status as the daughter of the Party Secretary of the East Street of the town?"
The town is very large, divided into four streets and villages: East Street, West Street, South Street, and North Street.
Wei Mingshen said, "Of course it's her beauty, and... other things too. She's very understanding, gentle and considerate, and she loves me very much."
Su Xueli's eyes widened: Lin Meizhi is gentle and considerate?
The young lady behind the shop counter was not only arrogant, but also had a cold face towards everyone, as if you were begging for food instead of buying things, and she was the benefactor.
So, she has two faces: one for ordinary people and one for people she likes.
Su Xueli asked, "Then why are your parents so against you marrying her? She's beautiful and the daughter of the Party Secretary. You're marrying above your station."
Wei Mingshen said, "My parents said that she was only pretending to be nice to me. My third aunt is her neighbor next door. She said that she is lazy, greedy, and has a bad heart. She even dislikes her own grandmother. When her mother was sick, she didn't even cook a meal for her. She is also shrewish and shameless. When she gets angry, she will scold anyone, including her own sister and brother... Anyway, she is not good at all."
But my mother didn't consider that my third aunt had argued with her family, so naturally she wouldn't speak well of them.
Su Xueli chuckled, "But as long as she's good to you, that's all that matters."
Wei Mingshen sighed and shook his head, saying, "Let's not talk about her anymore."
Su Xueli glanced at him sideways and asked, "So after we get divorced, you'll go find her, ignoring your parents' objections?"
Wei Mingshen said irritably, "Let's talk about it after we get divorced. There's no point in talking about it now."
Su Xueli, however, pressed on, "What's there to hide? I'm not telling your parents. I'm asking you, aren't you afraid that after you divorce me, your parents will arrange for you to marry someone else and stop you from seeing her?"
"My parents are broke and can't afford to get married, so they have no choice but to let me do as I please."
"Oh, I see."
Su Xueli said, "Then I wish you two a happy ending."
Wei Mingshen suddenly felt lost and his mood darkened. He stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk. You should rest too. You can never earn all the money in the world."
Su Xueli said softly, "Thank you."
With Wei Mingshen's help, she made 22 that afternoon. She was overjoyed and thought to herself: "From now on, I've got a free laborer."
Hmm, do we still need to pay him wages?
No, I won't give it to him. He took advantage of me for nothing in my past life, so I'll try to get something back in this one.
