Chapter 612: Country Girls Are Not Girls
She changed the subject. "What happened to Guibao? I heard from his wife that he was imprisoned for gambling and hasn't been released yet."
"Yes, he cheated me out of my money and gambled it away. I caught him and sent him to the police station. You know, gambling is a bad idea. If you do, it's the end of our family. No matter how much money we have, he'll spend it all.
Fortunately, his wife is now hardworking and works as a cook in the village kiln factory. Xue Dong is also sensible and works in Qingqing's factory. The mother and daughter are both working hard, so it is not a problem to support the two little girls.
Xue Guiqin sneered: "I have seen the two little girls. Why would they go to school? If they come back to farm, they can reduce the burden on the family."
"What are you talking about? Why can't my daughter go to school? Your daughter doesn't have to go to school?" Xue Guixiang spoke bluntly without thinking.
"A country girl, she only knows a few words, how can she compare to my daughter?"
Xue Guixiang was even more unhappy when she heard this: "Are girls from the countryside not girls? In my eyes, Guibao's two daughters are the same as your daughter."
Xue Guiqin was angry. How could a wild country girl compare with her precious daughter?
Girls in the country grew up eating wild vegetable porridge, while her daughter was raised eating white flour and refined rice. How could they be the same!
But if we continue talking, it seems like we are about to have a quarrel.
She bit her lip and ended the topic.
It was awkward to sit there, so she pinched her nose and took a sip of tea, which filled her mouth with tea foam.
She put down the bowl and asked again: "Sister, you haven't found someone for yourself in these years. Your brother-in-law has been dead for so many years, and you have been a widow all this time?"
When Qiao Jingzhen, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, heard this, he almost splashed the tea in the bowl on her face.
Xue Guiqin's words were sharp and really unpleasant to the ears.
I don’t know how the honest Xue Guixiang could have such a sister.
Xue Guixiang didn't care: "No, I'm already exhausted raising two children and my brother-in-law. How can I have the energy to find someone? Besides, I'm afraid that others will treat the children badly."
Xue Guiqin finally smiled again, pursed her lips, and asked, "Now that the children are grown up, have you ever thought about finding a man?"
"No, I'm busy as a dog now. How can I have time to look for a man? Besides, I'm fine living alone." Xue Guixiang didn't shy away from saying this.
It's not that no one has introduced her to anyone over the years, but she rejected them all.
When the children were young, they could get through any hardship or fatigue they faced.
In addition, she has a hidden secret in her heart, which she has not told anyone.
She will keep it in her heart until she dies.
That is, she always felt that her man was still alive.
He went out that year and never came back, so no one actually saw his body.
His companions who went out with him all said that he was dead.
He said he encountered bandits outside and his body was blown to pieces.
She also believed it, but she would not give up until she saw the body. She always had a thought that her man would come back sooner or later.
Although she knew it was wishful thinking, there was a thought that was the belief that kept her going.
During the most difficult years, she almost cried her eyes out, but she survived by relying on this belief.
She always felt that the man would come back one day. What if he came back and she got married? How would she explain it to him?
Although they had only been together for a few years, the man was very good to her.
