Old Lady Yang: "You don't know that Miss Tang is about to turn from a pheasant into a phoenix. She's lucky enough to find a partner like Comrade Xia."
"If she wants to work, she can go. If she doesn't want to work, she doesn't have to. Anyway, someone can support her."
"And the captain's family is taking good care of her now. Even if she doesn't have enough food, don't she still have the captain's family?"
"We work so hard every day, but we still don't have enough food to eat. We haven't had meat for half a year. This shows that our lives are not as good as others."
Several people were saying those unpleasant words one after another. Tang Shiyan's ears were almost callused from listening to them. She roared:
"You gossipy bitches, have you run out of toothpaste and toothbrushes at home? You're talking so foul-mouthed, and it's because you don't even have enough food to eat, so how can you afford to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes?"
"It's like a headless fly buzzing around. Since you know your fate is bad, just accept it. Why be jealous of others?"
"You guys are so capable of talking nonsense here, but don't you have the ability to live a good life?"
"He knew he had insufficient food and no meat to eat, yet he didn't look for the reason within himself."
"I have food to eat, meat to eat every day, and I live a prosperous life. I earned it through my own ability."
"Even if I hadn't met Xia Jinnian, I would have lived a good life. Only people with hearts like you see everything as dirty."
Xia Jinnian: "My dear aunts, I call you aunt out of respect."
"Since you can't stand seeing Yanyan doing well, then just stay away and don't hang around in front of her and get in her way."
"Just like Yanyan said, if she hadn't met me, her life would have been fine. How dare you gossip about her?"
"They are all over 40 years old, with elderly parents and young children to support, yet they are not as good at work as a 17 or 18-year-old girl. It's really shameful."
"If you guys have the guts to talk nonsense here, why don't you go back and take care of your own husband and son? It's a shame for a grown man with healthy hands and feet to not help with the work."
"You just do nothing all day, playing with cats and dogs, and leaving a woman to work and support the family. You're truly a disgrace to us men. I feel so sorry for you. How could you have ended up with a man like that?"
When several people heard what Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian said, they were so angry that they were out of breath. They didn't expect that Tang Shiyan had such a powerful mouth.
Even the guy she found was so good at talking, he kept fucking like a machine gun.
Tang Shiyan: "What? Are you ladies dissatisfied? Even if you are dissatisfied, you have to hold it in. Don't make such a stinky face or you'll scare the kids to tears."
"It's so late, why don't you hurry back and make lunch for the men in your family? Be careful of being slapped and beaten by them later."
"Jinnian, let's go. Don't bother with these unlucky things. Let's go back and make braised pork ribs. Wouldn't it be delicious to make chicken soup?"
"Oh, just thinking about that taste makes me drool," Tang Shiyan deliberately licked her lips with her tongue.
She just wants to piss off those who can't stand her being better than she is. Who told them to be so jealous of others?
Tang Shiyan didn't care about their expressions. After she finished speaking, she rode away with Xia Jinnian.
After Tang Shiyan and Xia Jinnian left, the few of them immediately swallowed back the saliva that was about to flow out.
The two returned home, took out the key, opened the door, moved the meat and vegetables into the kitchen, pushed the bicycle into the house and closed the door.
Xia Jinnian went to the kitchen and started preparing lunch. She took out some of the meat and vegetables she had just bought, washed them, and cut them.
Tang Shiyan helped to light the fire, while Xia Jinnian cooked. Then the team leader knocked on the door and called out, "Girl Tang, Comrade Xia, are you back from the city?"
When Tang Shiyan heard the captain's voice, she immediately stood up and opened the door. "Captain, you're here. We just got back a short time ago. Jinnian said he'd come to see you after lunch."
"Uncle Captain, please come in and sit down. Jinnian and I are making lunch. Please stay and have some. We can talk while we eat."
"Well, Tang girl, I won't be polite with you."
"Uncle Captain, if you're being polite to me, it's awkward. There's no need for us to be so polite."
The captain walked into the house and sat down at the dining table. Tang Shiyan poured him a cup of tea.
At this time, Xia Jinnian also prepared the meal and brought it out from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.
"Uncle Captain, I was just saying I'd go to your house to look for you later, and you're here already. Has the wedding date for Yanyan and I been set? Did you come here to tell us?"
"I was just passing by and saw smoke coming out of your chimney. I guessed you were back from the city, so I came to take a look."
"Look how anxious you are! I came here to tell you that your wedding date has been set. It will be held in five days."
Xia Jinnian was so happy that he almost stuttered, "Captain...Captain, thank you so much for helping us pick a good date. It's really troublesome for you to come and tell us in person."
Tang Shiyan: "Jinnian, you're so happy that you can't even speak clearly. Luckily, the captain is here. Otherwise, others would think you're stupid."
"Yan Yan, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this day. Now that the date is finally set, we can have our wedding soon. Of course I'm happy."
"Uncle Captain, you said so, right?"
The captain said, "Yes, yes, Comrade Xia, Miss Tang, I'm happy for you both. I wish you a long and happy marriage and a happy life."
They both said in unison, "Thank you, Captain. We'll have to trouble you and Aunt Huilan for help when the time comes."
"Don't say anything disturbing. We've watched Tang grow up since she was a child. We've witnessed everything that happened to her."
"Seeing her find such a good partner like you, Comrade Xia, and now watching you two get married, Miss Tang has finally had her happy ending after all the hardship."
"Comrade Xia, I just hope that after you marry Tang Yatou, you will treat her well and don't let her suffer any grievances, otherwise I will not let you go."
"Uncle Captain, don't worry. After we get married, I will treat Yanyan even better and will never let her suffer even the slightest bit of injustice."
"That's good. I hope I'm not mistaken about you. You two may be busy with the wedding these days. As for Miss Tang going to work, I can grant you a few days off."
"Captain, thank you so much. We're going to the city to get the photos in a couple of days, so you can buy some candy while you're there."
When the captain saw the dishes on the table, including pork, braised beef, and pheasant soup, he thought that the lives of these two people were really full of sunshine.
They could only eat a little meat every ten days or half a month. It was really frustrating to compare with others. However, seeing that Miss Tang was living such a good life now, I was happy for her.
