"You didn't see it, Aunt Zhang's face was even worse than if she'd eaten donkey dung. Haha."
Zhao Yue'e vividly described Aunt Zhang's expression, and couldn't help but laugh herself.
That's absolutely hilarious.
Aunt Zhang has been stirring up trouble lately, always looking for opportunities to cause trouble for the Huo family. She's completely forgotten her past mistakes and doesn't learn her lesson at all.
On one occasion, she even overheard Aunt Zhang shamelessly claiming that Ye Weiwei was someone her son-in-law Zhao Mingzhe didn't want, which is why Huo Xiao got a good deal.
These people have absolutely no self-awareness!
Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are!
So what if Zhao Mingzhe is an educated youth from the city? In what way can he compare to Huo Xiao?
Huo Xiao has been one of the best young men in Qingshan Town since he was a child. Not to mention, his knowledge, character, experience, and ability are all things that Zhao Mingzhe can't catch up with.
Although Ye Weiwei doesn't go out much, she knows almost everything that happens in the village.
The reason Aunt Zhang has been so smug lately is because Lu Xiaolan is finally pregnant.
In order to conceive this child, Aunt Zhang and her daughter Lu Xiaolan went to great lengths, feeding Zhao Mingzhe countless drugs and using every trick in the book in bed. It was truly not easy for them.
Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan's dream of leaving Kyoto has taken another step closer. During this time, Aunt Zhang tells everyone she meets about Lu Xiaolan's pregnancy, and says that Lu Xiaolan will definitely be able to go back to Kyoto with Zhao Mingzhe and become a city dweller in the future. She can't wait to spread the word throughout the entire Qingshan Town.
Coincidentally, her daughter-in-law, Niu Li, was also pregnant.
Since Lu Xiaolan caused her to miscarry last year, Niu Li has not been able to get pregnant again. Now that she is finally pregnant, she and Lu Xiaolan have run into each other again.
The two sisters-in-law were never on good terms to begin with, and after Lu Xiaolan became pregnant, she often came to their house to freeload. Once, she even ate the pork cracklings that Niu Li's family had sent to Niu Li to help her recover, which made Niu Li and Lu Xiaolan so angry that they had a big fight and almost came to blows.
Aunt Zhang favored her daughter and disliked Niu Li, taking sides between the two. This angered Niu Li so much that she packed her things and went back to her parents' home.
Lu Chenggong was naturally of one mind with his wife, and since he also found Lu Xiaolan an eyesore, he simply went to stay at his father-in-law's house to keep his wife company.
Lu Mingcai was furious about this.
However, ever since he was dragged to make a self-criticism, his status at home has plummeted. He can't win against Aunt Zhang and Lu Xiaolan at all. He shouts a few times but does nothing, and then nothing more.
With her brother and sister-in-law gone, Lu Xiaolan became even more unrestrained. She even dragged Zhao Mingzhe to stay at her parents' house, where they ate and slept together, showing no sign of wanting to leave.
Village chief Lu Mingfa spoke to them several times, but Lu Xiaolan retorted, scolding him for meddling and threatening that when they went to Kyoto, they shouldn't try to freeload off him. Lu Mingfa was so angry he almost fainted and decided to give up on the family altogether.
After staying at his father-in-law's house for a while, Lu Chenggong and his wife Niu Li discussed returning to their hometown to separate their family property. If Aunt Zhang and Lu Mingcai did not agree to the separation, they would sever ties with Lu Xiaolan. Otherwise, he and his wife would stay in his father-in-law's village and not return, as if he had married into the family there.
In short, they can only have one son or one daughter.
Aunt Zhang was so flattered by Lu Xiaolan's promise to take her to live in the big city and become a city dweller that she sided with Lu Xiaolan in everything. Moreover, she always thought that Lu Chenggong and Niu Li wouldn't dare to have a falling out.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chenggong and Niu Li made up their minds and went directly to the village chief and the brigade leader to obtain certificates and act as witnesses, and transferred their household registration to Niu Li's mother's house.
Enraged, Lu Mingcai grabbed a broom and chased after his unfilial son, Lu Chenggong, beating him. Aunt Zhang followed the two, cursing them all the way until they left the village.
Only Lu Xiaolan was particularly happy. With Lu Chenggong and Niu Li, who were both an eyesore, she felt much more comfortable living in the house.
The Lu Mingcai family's affairs once again made them a laughing stock in the village. Everyone thought that Lu Mingcai and his wife had gone mad, abandoning their perfectly good son and daughter-in-law to cause chaos in their home for the sake of a married daughter.
Zhao Mingzhe, on the other hand, after being ridiculed as a live-in son-in-law several times, stood up for himself and moved back to his old house.
Although Lu Xiaolan was very unwilling, she had no choice but to live with Zhao Mingzhe. However, she now lives at both places, spending a few days at her parents' home and a few days at the old house.
Now that she's pregnant, she can't be intimate with Zhao Mingzhe and is focused on the baby. As a result, she's not keeping a close eye on Zhao Mingzhe anymore, which gives Zhao Mingzhe and Zhong Yan an opportunity. The two often take advantage of Lu Xiaolan's absence to be affectionate with each other. On several occasions, Zhao Mingzhe even brought Zhong Yan and Zhong Yan directly to his home, where they spent a long time alone together before separating.
When Xu Meijun and Chen Jiali came to visit, they talked a lot about Zhong Yan's recent activities.
Ever since news spread that Grandpa Qin, who had been working in the shed, had become close to Ye Weiwei's family and even stayed at Ye Weiwei's house for a few days before leaving, Zhong Yan had been making snide remarks at the educated youth settlement, saying that Ye Weiwei was scheming and so on.
Xu Meijun disliked Zhong Yan from the start, so she naturally stood up for her good friend. She had several verbal conflicts with Zhong Yan, but in the end, Zhong Yan was defeated by Ye Weiwei's good reputation and dared not provoke public anger again, nor did she dare to speak ill of Ye Weiwei at the educated youth settlement.
Ye Weiwei just smiled indifferently as she listened to them say these things.
Zhong Yan once went to her place specifically to try and get information out of her, asking if she already knew that Old Master Qin would be reinstated.
She remembered that Old Master Qin did not return to Kyoto until 1977, so how come he returned so many years earlier now?
This feeling of being unable to control things made her very uneasy.
Ye Weiwei naturally ignored her, which made Zhong Yan so angry that she almost lost her temper. "Ye Weiwei, how come I never noticed before? I never thought you were the most scheming one!"
Ye Weiwei suddenly smiled knowingly, "Are you angry?"
Zhong Yan took several deep breaths before gritting her teeth and asking, "Shouldn't I be angry?"
They were clearly the same kind of people, but Ye Weiwei always managed to outmaneuver her, leaving her in such a passive and helpless position!
Ye Weiwei's smile deepened: "It's good that you're angry! I love seeing you so angry but unable to do anything about it."
Zhong Yan growled angrily, "You... Hmph! You only treated and treated Old Master Qin for a few days. Don't think that you can really climb the social ladder just because of that. Ye Weiwei, the waters of Kyoto are very deep, not like the poor places like Daqingshan Village. We'll see."
In her previous life, Ye Weiwei was trapped in the poor Qingshan Village her whole life and could never go back. She was just a frog in a well and had no idea how rapidly Kyoto was developing.
