Jiang Yiming was stunned for a moment, then replied to Jiang Yang: "I can get two yuan a day, but it's too tiring and dirty. You have to go down to the bottom of the well, and it's stuffy, hot, and smelly. Sometimes the ventilation pipe doesn't work well, and you can suffocate. In short, it's not easy to make money."
Jiang Yang nodded lightly.
He will be living here for a while. As a grown-up, he cannot just eat and drink for free here. He has already prepared to find something to do here.
He wanted to chat with Jiang Yang for a few more words, but Xu Zhenqing called him, "Jiang Yang, it's time to go."
"good."
At this time, a young man and woman walked over from the side. The girl recognized Jiang Yiming at a glance. She was Jiang Yushan's classmate. She had followed Jiang Yushan to Jiang's house and met Jiang Yiming. She knew that he was Jiang Yushan's younger brother.
Jiang Yushan told her at school that her brother was a purchasing agent in a factory, but he was clearly just a sanitation worker who cleaned sewers.
She felt that Jiang Yushan said that to her because she was vain.
She was originally a good friend of Jiang Yushan, but she liked Fang Wenji, and Jiang Yushan also liked Fang Wenji. After Jiang Yushan used cruel means to snatch Fang Wenji away, she and Jiang Yushan became sworn enemies.
Isn't Jiang Yushan vain? Didn't she brag about her brother being a factory buyer?
Then she would expose Jiang Yushan's hypocritical face in front of the whole class and tell her classmates that her brother was not a purchasing agent, but just a sanitation worker who went into the sewers.
When she returned to school, she told the story to two female classmates with whom she was on good terms. Those two female classmates quickly spread the news, and most of the students in the class knew about it.
Someone asked Jiang Yushan mischievously, "Yushan, didn't you say your brother was a buyer? How come someone saw him digging a sewer outside the train station? What exactly does he do?"
When Jiang Yushan heard this, her face turned green.
"Who said he was a sewer digger? Who is spreading rumors?"
Jiang Yiming actually went to dig a sewer outside the train station and was discovered by the people here. It was really embarrassing for her.
"Rumors? Zhang Mingyue saw it with her own eyes outside the train station. Your brother was sitting next to the sewer, covered in mud."
"Zhang Mingyue." She bit the three words hard, and then denied the fact that Jiang Yiming was a sanitation worker: "She's talking nonsense. There's no way my brother would dig a sewer. He has a respectable job. Or she must have seen it wrong. That's not my brother at all."
"Yeah?"
Then someone called Zhang Mingyue over: "Mingyue, you said that his brother was digging a sewer, but he said you were spreading rumors."
Zhang Mingyue pretended to be angry: "Who spread rumors about her? Do I need to spread rumors? I saw it with my own eyes. Oh, maybe she thinks her brother's work is not decent and is afraid of embarrassing her, so she dare not admit it?"
"My brother didn't dig the sewer, your brother did." Jiang Yushan retorted to her.
Zhang Mingyue shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't have a brother, and I don't know how to dig a sewer. Jiang Yushan, I don't know why you can't admit this. Are you afraid of being laughed at?"
"That's right, Yushan. What's wrong with digging sewers? Labor is the most glorious thing. No matter what you do, there's no shame in earning a living with your own hands."
"I don't think digging sewers is shameful. My family is from the countryside. What's wrong with us being farmers? We grow food for the people of the country. I think we are noble."
“That’s right, farmers are the most amazing people.”
Jiang Yushan glanced at the classmate. This was the thin and dark farmer's son whom she usually looked down upon the most.
She did not have the same idea as this person. As a Beijing native, she felt that she was superior to these outsiders, and her status was even higher than these peasant students from other places.
Even those city students who said that Jiang Yiming digging sewers was not shameful were definitely mocking her in a sarcastic way.
Her face was red, and she even wanted to beat Jiang Yiming to death.
"My brother didn't dig the sewer. That man is not my brother. Zhang Mingyue must have made a mistake."
Zhang Mingyue snorted, "If you even look down on your own brother, how can you be respected by others?"
"Shut up! You're just talking nonsense! You're jealous of me, so you're trying every way to discredit me."
"If I'm talking nonsense, I'll be struck by lightning." Zhang Mingyue swore.
Most of the students in the class believed Zhang Mingyue.
Some even pointed directly at Jiang Yushan: "Yushan, you are too vain. You don't even dare to admit what your brother does for a living, and you lie to us. Do you think your brother working in a factory is prestigious, and digging sewers is lowly? We are in a new society, everyone is equal, regardless of class, high or low. Jiang Yushan, you are creating class divisions."
"I didn't. How could I dare to do what you said? Don't talk nonsense."
The more vain she is, the less she dares to admit it.
It was Jiang Yiming. It was all Jiang Yiming's fault. She was laughed at and ostracized by her classmates. Everyone looked at her with disgust, and she was so angry that she ran out of the classroom crying.

Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Yang returned to the courtyard together. When Mei Xiangcao saw her daughter-in-law, she hurried forward to look her up and down. She saw that her daughter-in-law had a rosy complexion and her belly had grown a lot, but her face and other parts of her body seemed to have not gained much weight.
The last time she came, Xu Nuannuan told her that she had a physique that could not gain weight no matter how much she ate, and her pregnancy only made her belly grow, so he was not worried about his daughter-in-law's nutrition.
The daughter-in-law's mother and grandmother are here, and they will definitely not let her daughter-in-law suffer any grievances.
She took out all the mountain products she had brought with her and placed them on the ground, filling up half the room.
Xu Nuannuan exclaimed: "Mom, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were a transportation specialist."
This is to move all the warehouses at home here.
"Hahahaha, Mom doesn't think there's anything wrong. It's just that there were too many people getting on and off the bus, so it was a bit difficult to squeeze in."
Xu Nuannuan had already prepared a room for the two of them, complete with furniture and bedding. Mei Xiangcao felt the thoughtfulness of her daughter-in-law and once again lamented that having such a good daughter-in-law was a blessing their family had earned in their previous life.
