Chapter 2503 Miao Liang Zhai Yaohui 4
Miao Liang inherited her mother's good looks and has a pretty face indeed.
Aunt Miao was originally unhappy because her beloved daughter was not as good-looking as Miao Liang. Also, Miao Liang had been working for the family since she was a child and was well-known in the production team for her ability.
As a result, when Miao Liang was fifteen, people from the village often came to Uncle Miao's house to ask if Miao Liang had a date, and wanted to introduce one to Miao Liang. Age didn't matter, they could get engaged first, and then get married when they were eighteen.
The first child born to Uncle Miao and Aunt Miao was a girl, who was only a few months prettier than Miao.
All those who came to Uncle Miao's house to see Miao Liang had trampled down the door, but on the contrary, no one had mentioned Miao Lanlan, who was the same age as Miao Liang. Because of this, Aunt Miao became more and more disgusted with Miao Liang for overshadowing her daughter. She threw all the dirty and tiring work at home to Miao Liang and tortured her.
Miao Liang knew all about these situations.
Even if Miao Liang didn’t know, someone would tell her: “Miao Liang, I am your Aunt Li.”
"Aunt Li." Miao Liang knew the other party. She often acted as a matchmaker for others, but the situation was different now. Arranged marriages and blind marriages were not allowed. If matchmaking really happened, it would be quite reserved.
Aunt Li grabbed Miao Liang's hand and said, "Look, a good lady like you has such rough hands."
Miao Liang pulled back her hand: "Auntie Li, Mr. Chairman, working for the people is the most glorious. I am in the productionless stage, and I should respond to the party's call and love to work. Now, if someone's hands are not full of cocoons, it is not called rough hands, it is called glory."
"Then why didn't your second aunt let your sister Lanlan share the glory with her?" Who doesn't know?
If the Miao family had not been poor for three generations, and if the eldest Miao had not saved the life of an Eighth Route Army soldier at the cost of his lame leg, the second Miao family, just for the way they adopted their son and daughter, should have been labeled as landlords.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen who has never worked in the fields and earned work points to support her family is so fond of Miao Laoer's daughter that she lies in the room and eats and drinks everything at home, like a rich girl.
Bah, she doesn't want to be a matchmaker for a girl like this.
If a girl like this were to marry into someone's family, wouldn't it bring disaster to the family? Would she still be able to maintain her reputation?
"Miao Liang, listen to Auntie Li. Your second uncle's family doesn't treat you very well. Auntie Li is looking for you to find a good family who loves you. Auntie Li is doing this for your own good."
Miao Liang smiled: "I know you are good to me, but I feel that I am still young and not in a hurry to find a partner." If she had the chance, she actually wanted to read more books.
There was no opportunity to study when Lanlan was in school. After finishing her work, she would follow him and learn a little.
Later, the school was closed, and the teachers disappeared one by one. Miao Liang's wish to study could not be realized. Fortunately, she heard that the production team might organize a blindness elimination class recently, and the teachers would be the educated youth who went to the countryside. Miao Liang was very interested in this.
Miao Liang knew that although Aunt Li did it for the matchmaker's benefit, she was also genuinely doing it for her own good.
But she didn't want to get married yet. She knew that once she got married, if she wanted to go to a blind literacy class to learn how to read, the man's family would definitely not agree.
Ever since the educated youth came to the production team, the people in the production team especially disliked the male educated youth, because with these male educated youth, the girls in the village were unwilling to get married, their standards became higher, and they all wanted to find clean and pure city people.
As a result, those young wives who were married would be strictly controlled by their in-laws and ordered to stay away from the male educated youth to prevent them from learning bad things.
Miao Liang is aware of this situation.
She didn't think that the educated youth who went to the countryside were better than the men in the village, nor did she think that the men in the village were worse than the educated youth. But if she got married, she wouldn't even be allowed to go to the blind literacy class. Miao Liang really didn't want to get married.
Giving birth in her second uncle's house was not an easy life, but after getting married, she was controlled by her husband's family to this extent. Apart from having an extra meal in her husband's family, she also had to do the work she was supposed to do. So why was she in a hurry to get married?
"Miao Jing, are you looking for someone like the male educated youth?"
"No, those educated youth are not the same as us." Don't think she didn't see it. It's not just the male educated youth, the female educated youth are like this too. Look at the people in their production team, their chins are always raised, and their eyes are always mocking. Miao Liang didn't like the attitude of the educated youth.
Not all educated youth were like this, but most of them were of this type.
Apart from attending the literacy class to learn to read, Miao Liang had no other contact with the educated youth.
"Then what about you... Miao Liang, don't say things like repaying your second uncle. You don't know that the reason your second uncle has such a good life now is all because of what your father gave him. Without your father, how could your second uncle have the house and money to marry a wife and have children? Also, your father died because he was digging ginseng. Your second uncle has not raised you in vain over the years."
In fact, Aunt Li did some calculations for Uncle Miao.
By raising his niece Miao Liang, Uncle Miao not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.
Miao Liang started helping her uncle Miao at the age of five, first taking care of her younger siblings at home, and then washing clothes for the whole family.
Except for cooking, all the chores at home are done by Miao Liang alone.
Of course, Aunt Miao never let Miao Liang do the work above the stove. It was not because she felt sorry for Miao Liang's age, as she was only slightly taller than the stove. She was worried that Miao Liang would ruin the food, and she was also afraid that Miao Liang would steal some food while she was working.
Therefore, all the housework can be handed over to Miao Liang, except this one
As a result, Miao Liang could do everything except cooking, because she had no chance to cook when she was enslaved in Uncle Miao's house. After she got married, Grandma Zhai was still alive, so Miao Liang didn't need to do it. When Grandma Zhai passed away, the Zhai family had an aunt to help with the housework.
In this way, Miao Liang did not dare to work less, and did not dare to eat more. Apart from the ginseng, the work points that Miao Liang earned from working for her uncle Miao's family over the years were more than enough to support herself.
In this case, Uncle Miao really has no favors towards Miao Liang.
Not to mention that Uncle Miao's own daughter Miao Lanlan was raised like a landlord's daughter, and Miao Liang became a maid beside Miao Lanlan. When she grew up, all of Miao Lanlan's clothes were washed by Miao Liang.
Miao Liang is obviously the older sister, but she always asks Miao Lanlan not to wear ragged clothes.
Not only did Uncle Miao get a ginseng for free, he also had a servant to help with housework for free.
It's unpleasant to say, but who can say that it's true?
