Chapter 9: Saving Four Corners



Oh, it has become a habit for her to exaggerate and complain. She really treats Ruan Niannian's parents as her own parents?

Ruan Niannian immediately retorted sarcastically: "Thank you for your kindness, Pan! Brother! You can tell them as you like. I think my parents would be happy to hear about me too."

She emphasized the word "Pandi" with extra emphasis.

Before Chen Panpan went to the countryside, she was called Chen Pandi. The meaning was very clear: her family hoped that she could bring a younger brother.

She didn't have to go to the countryside, but her family wanted to leave the job to her younger brother and were reluctant to give up her mother's job, so they just asked her to pack up and leave.

Originally, Ruan Niannian was particularly sympathetic to her.

Before going to the countryside, she said she wanted to change her name to Chen Panpan. Firstly, she hoped that with a new name she would have a new life, and secondly, Chen Panpan and Ruan Niannian sounded like the names of good friends.

At that time, Ruan Niannian was only concerned about friendship. She was fooled by Chen Panpan and thought that no one in the world was better than Chen Panpan and that Chen Panpan was the best.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have done something like signing up to go to the countryside on a whim.

Originally, Ruan's mother had decided to retire and give her the job, so she didn't have to go to the countryside at all.

It was her fault that she was too naive in her previous life. Not only did she give up her good life in the city for a vicious best friend, but she also lost her life at a young age because of her vicious best friend's treachery.

When Chen Panpan heard the word "Pandi", his eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to strangle Ruan Niannian in front of him.

"What are you doing? Brother Chen Pan, let me tell you, you don't have a penny on you right now. If you hurt me, you can't afford the medical expenses, and the Pei family won't let you off."

After saying that, Ruan Niannian saw that Chen Panpan was taking a deep breath and not making any unnecessary movements, so she pushed her away and walked out.

Chen Panpan was right to remind her that she should call home.

In her previous life, ever since she married Pei Yuanzheng, her family had never sent her any money or bills.

But Chen Panpan should have told her that it must be that Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan saw that their daughter had married a rural man and was of no use to them, so they didn't plan to continue supporting her.

I also advised her not to call back and ask, saying that she was living well, otherwise she would slap them in the face in front of them. Who said that life would not be good if you married into the countryside?

She is so silly.

She is really stupid.

After nearly twenty years of relationship, how could she not recognize the love her parents had for her? She was confused by Chen Panpan's few words.

At night, when lying in bed with Mrs. Pei, Ruan Niannian stared at the ceiling motionlessly.

Not sleepy at all.

After a long while, Mrs. Pei turned over. She was drowsy and sleepy, but she was startled to see Ruan Niannian staring at her. She lost all her sleepiness. "Oh my god! Fourth sister-in-law, what are you doing here at night?"

"Sister-in-law." Ruan Niannian's voice was hollow, and it was unknown what she was thinking. "Do you think my parents would blame me if they knew that I got married in the countryside?"

Strange?

Mrs. Pei didn't know what she was thinking.

In less than three months, I gave my parents more than 100 yuan, which was higher than the three-month salary of an ordinary formal worker.

With parents like this, what can the children blame?

She reached out and patted Ruan Niannian soothingly like she was patting a child.

She said to Ruan Niannian in the most gentle voice of her life: "Fourth sister-in-law, I don't know what your family situation is, but I think your parents won't blame you."

"My hometown is in Shandong. During those years of famine, my parents took me to escape the famine. I was almost dying, but they saved their food to feed me. Later, when we arrived in Zhejiang Province, I fell seriously ill again."

"My fellow villagers who fled the famine together wanted my parents to abandon me, but they refused. When things were tough, they found tree roots and bark for me to eat, and they ate Guanyin soil themselves. I think you don't need to think too much. If you really miss home, I'll take another day off tomorrow to accompany you to the commune post office to make a phone call."

"Be good, stop thinking about it and go to sleep."

After saying that, she became confused again.

Although Mrs. Pei was not well educated and her words were plain and simple, Ruan Niannian could hear a different kind of sincerity in her words.

She truly accepted Ruan Niannian as a member of the family.

This is what a best friend should be like, right?

People like Chen Panpan are at most vampires in disguise of best friends.

Relax, everything will be fine. Ruan Niannian closed her eyes and listened to Mrs. Pei's light snoring. Not only did she not find it noisy, but it brought her into a peaceful dream.

The next day, before dawn, Ruan Niannian was woken up by Mrs. Pei.

"Fourth brother's wife, fourth brother's wife, wake up, it's time for us to set off."

Ruan Niannian rubbed her eyes. She was not fully awake yet, and her voice was a little puzzled. "Sister-in-law, it's dark now. Where are we going?"

"Go to the commune!"

"I've already told mom that I'll go with you to the commune to make a phone call today, and buy some things at the supply and marketing cooperative. Yesterday was the fixed time for the supply and marketing cooperative to restock. There will definitely be a lot of people today, so we'll take Grandpa Xiao's ox cart."

Go to the commune!

Ruan Niannian woke up instantly and got up quickly. Seeing the basket and cloth bags on Mrs. Pei's arm, she also took out a few cloth bags from her snakeskin bag.

Plastic bags were not as prevalent back then as they are today. You had to bring your own bag when you went out to buy things.

(Plastic bags were introduced to China in the 1960s, but they were not widely used in all aspects of people's lives until the 1980s.)

This large-capacity cloth bag sewn at home has become the first choice for going out.

After quickly tidying herself up, Ruan Niannian followed Mrs. Pei out the door.

Walking in the night, the two sisters-in-law walked to the place where Old Man Pei parked his ox cart at the entrance of the village.
