The people in the village are simple and honest. They work hard all their lives, but they don't have too many complaints. They just want to have enough food and warm clothes, and their children can find a good marriage. This is their most simple wish.
However, they are truly worldly-wise and will always unconditionally sympathize with the weak.
At the beginning, Ruan Mianmian was a weak person, she was abandoned, bullied, and framed by her relatives. So most people sympathized with her, stood on her side, and expressed their concern for her.
However, as time went by, the Ruan family gradually became weaker. They were detained and held meetings, and Ruan Xiangxiang has not returned yet.
On the contrary, Ruan Mianmian's life was getting better and better.
So some people began to sympathize with the Ruan family, stood on their side, and began to examine Ruan Mianmian.
There were more and more unpleasant words being said in the village.
Ruan Mianmian’s attitude towards this is that as long as no one stands in front of her and points at her nose and scolds her, she will pretend not to hear anything.
She will never take the initiative to pick up scolding in her life.
Although Zhao Xiaohua didn't hear it clearly, she knew what those aunts were talking about. Many people have been talking about it recently.
Even her mother said at home that Sister Mianmian was too hard-hearted and did not show mercy to her relatives. She was too lonely and asked her to have less contact with her.
Zhao Xiaohua is not stupid. How can those people from the Ruan family be called as a messenger? If she were Sister Mianmian, she would probably do something even more cruel. Sister Mianmian is already very kind.
Wu Huimin was also feeling very aggrieved. Could it be that these gossiping women had forgotten all the dirty things that the Ruan family had done?
When she first found out, she was shocked. How could there be such a relative?!
This is not much different from an enemy.
Mianmian is so pitiful. Now these people in the village are still making up stories about her behind her back. Enough is enough.
"Have you two rested well? If you have, hurry up and work. If you go home early today, come to my place for food." Seeing that both of them were affected by the gossip, Ruan Mianmian felt a little warm in her heart.
She decided to make something delicious tonight.
Eating delicious food can quickly heal your mood.
When Zhao Xiaohua and Wu Huimin heard that there was something delicious to eat, they instantly became full of energy.
Especially Zhao Xiaohua, this was not the first time she went to Sister Mianmian's house to eat. During the whole autumn harvest period, Sister Mianmian would bring out some delicious food to share with her every now and then.
She felt a little embarrassed to eat so much. She decided that after work today, she would go get some firewood for Sister Mianmian.
She couldn't take out anything else, but she could still collect firewood.
From now on, she will be responsible for all the firewood for Sister Mianmian's family. She will ask her father to build a firewood room for Sister Mianmian's family someday.
In Ruan Mianmian's kitchen, Wu Huimin handed a can of malted milk and a few meat tickets to Ruan Mianmian.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Mianmian was confused.
Wu Huimin stuffed the malted milk directly into the cupboard, "Of course it's for you. My parents sent it to me. Don't worry about eating it. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll get it for you. You can also take these meat coupons."
"Why are you giving me these things? I have them myself, so I don't need them." Ruan Mianmian wanted to push the things back.
Wu Huimin grabbed her hand and stopped her, saying, "What you have is yours, and this is given to you by me. I often come here to eat and drink for free, how can I not give you some money for the meal?"
"Really, I don't need these things." Ruan Mianmian really didn't think about this.
"I know, I know. You are amazing! You have received royalties from the publishing house three times." Speaking of this, Wu Huimin was really envious. She had always been bad at liberal arts since she was a child. Writing essays, 800 words would kill her.
But Mianmian was able to submit her work to a publishing house, and she has received several dozen yuan in royalties so far, as well as some receipts sent by the publishing house.
I heard that the article she wrote about the future was commissioned and she was going to finish it. I really admire her.
"Yeah, the third remittance slip just arrived two days ago." Ruan Mianmian initially thought her manuscript was rejected. But later she found out that her first and second manuscript fees were together, so she didn't get any at first.
Fortunately, she did not give up and kept on voting.
"You should keep your royalties. You will need them in the future. What I give you is food money. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to come here in the future." She looked at the door and found that Xiaohua had not come yet. She continued, "Don't let Xiaohua know about this. Her situation is different from mine. She helps you with work every day. I don't have that ability, so this is the only way. Just don't look down on me."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ruan Mianmian accepted it.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen. Of course, it was mainly Ruan Mianmian who was busy, while Wu Huimin was responsible for helping and learning.
"Why hasn't Xiaohua come yet?" Wu Huimin looked at the spicy hot pot on the table and got a little anxious. It smelled so good.
Ruan Mianmian shook her head, "I don't know either. Logically, it should have come a long time ago."
This courtyard is actually not far from Zhao Xiaohua's house, and it is also on the way. Logically, I should have arrived a long time ago. I don't know why I haven't come today.
While they were talking, the yard door was pushed open.
Zhao Xiaohua came in dragging a large bundle of firewood.
When Ruan Mianmian and Wu Huimin saw this, they quickly got up to help.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Mianmian was really at a loss for words.
Before, she started inviting Zhao Xiaohua to her house for dinner because she felt bad for her because Zhao Xiaohua always had to chop firewood for her, feed the chickens, sweep the yard, etc.
Since Zhao Xiaohua had called out, Wu Huimin, who worked with her every day, naturally did not fall behind.
After a while, everyone became more familiar with each other and their relationship became closer than before.
"I feel embarrassed to always come here to eat for free. I can only do some work within my ability." Zhao Xiaohua smiled shyly. A little red appeared on her face. I don't know if it was because of embarrassment or because she was tired from working.
Ruan Mianmian and Wu Huimin helped to put all the firewood into the woodshed.
While tidying up, he said, "I asked you to come. You didn't ask me to come. You are so clear. Really."
The other two didn't say anything, just smiled and didn't stop working.
It's easier to work with more people. After a short while, the three of them finished cleaning up, washed their hands, and sat down at the dining table.
