"Since she, as an elder, is disrespectful, then you, as a younger person, don't have to respect her either. Otherwise, she'll just become more demanding and think you're entitled to treat her well."
Tang Shiyan: "Thank you for your understanding. I'm just kindly reminding you, so you don't get cheated. You must be careful. If someone falls into the water, you can either call for help or pass a stick. In any case, don't touch the person. If you do, they will blame you, and you won't be able to explain yourself. If you like that girl, just ignore me."
Qin Tianyi's eyes widened when he heard Tang Shiyan say this. He asked in disbelief, "Comrade Tang, isn't saving someone a good thing? Do you think you'll be blamed for saving someone? If you really didn't help someone in need, people would criticize you, too. How can such a custom exist in your village? It's completely illogical."
Tang Shiyan: "I've already told you what to do. That's your business."
Qin Tianyi said, "Comrade Tang, thank you for telling us this. Now that we know, we will definitely protect ourselves and will never let those with ulterior motives take advantage of us."
Tang Shiyan: "You're welcome. You just got here and don't know the situation. I'm just telling you a little bit."
After Tang Shiyan finished speaking, she returned to her home and started to cook dinner. While cooking, she was thinking about going to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs tomorrow and selling them in town for some money to buy a bicycle. Then it would be convenient for her to go anywhere and she wouldn't have to squeeze with others on a ox cart.
After cooking and cleaning up the dishes, I went into the space, took a hot bath, lay on the sofa and watched TV with Xiaotian.
Xiaotian: "Sister, what are you seeing? Either they're hugging each other or kissing each other. Is this the love story of you humans?"
Tang Shiyan: "Xiaotian, you don't understand this, do you? Do you want me to find you a wife, and then you two can have a litter of wolf cubs? That way, you won't have so much free time all day, and you won't be lonely."
"Sister, I don't want to. If I have a partner, I won't be as free. It will be even more tiring when I have a baby. Wouldn't that tire me to death? Look how good it is for me to be alone now. I am free and have good food to eat. When you are not in the space, I can watch TV alone, grow fruits and vegetables, feed chickens, ducks and geese, and another happy day has passed. How nice."
"Why do you have to make yourself so tired? Can't you just live your own life? So, sister, will you find a partner in the future? If you do, you must find someone who treats you well and cares about you in every way."
"Xiaotian, I haven't thought about this yet. If I meet someone who makes my heart beat and treats me well one day, maybe I will date him."
"Sister, if you have a boyfriend in the future, will you abandon me and leave me aside without caring about me?"
"Xiaotian, what are you thinking about? You are my sister's right-hand man, how could I not want you? You take care of my space so well, how could I bear to give you up."
"Sister, can you take me out to play sometime? I really want to go out and see what the world outside is like. Is it different from here?"
"Xiaotian, it's almost time. When I go into the mountains tomorrow, you will come with me. We will go hunting and looking for medicinal herbs. But let's make a deal first: you can't howl loudly like a wolf and disturb others."
Xiaotian was very happy to hear this and said, "Okay, sister, I will remember it."
"Okay, Xiaotian, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."
Tang Shiyan slept until her alarm woke her up. She immediately got up, washed, and ate something in her space. After changing her clothes, she slipped out of the space, went outside, put on her backpack, and walked towards the brigade headquarters. As soon as she reached the threshing ground, she heard the brigade leader shouting on a loud speaker, "Is everyone here? If everyone is here, the meeting will begin."
Old Lady Yang said, "Captain, that bitch Tang Zhaozhao injured my hand the other day and cost me over ten yuan in medical expenses. What do you think we should do about this?"
"Captain, if you don't handle this matter properly, I will go to their house every day and make trouble, so that they can't live in peace."
"She's such a slut, having sex with someone on the straw so early in the morning. She didn't even bother doing it in the room, but out in the open air, afraid that others wouldn't know how slutty she is. She's so shameless."
Mrs. Zhou said, "Mrs. Yang, my granddaughter has married Sun Mingliang in town. If you have the guts, go find her yourself. We didn't hurt you, so it's useless for you to go to our house and make a scene. Don't expect us to pay for it."
Tang Shiyan watched the show while eating melon seeds. She just liked watching the two people bickering and fighting with each other. Anyway, neither of them was a good person. The more serious the quarrel, the better. Then she would see how it would end.
Old Lady Yang said, "Old Lady Zhou, you've really grown thick-skinned with your age. You have no conscience at all. Even if Tang Zhaozhao is married, she's still a member of your family. She hurt me, so it's only natural that you should pay for her medical expenses."
"If everyone in your family is like this, not caring about hurting others, then I'm going to hurt you one day, and I won't admit it and won't do anything about it. Let's see how you react."
The team leader saw the two old women quarreling endlessly and shouted, "You two old women, are you going to stop quarreling all day long? It's disgraceful. Old lady Zhou, give Old Lady Yang a handful of noodles and a bag of brown sugar as compensation, otherwise I will have to deduct it from your work points."
How could Mrs. Zhou willingly give out anything to compensate Mrs. Yang? Everyone knew that she was the most stingy person. Asking her to give out noodles and brown sugar was like digging into her heart.
"Captain, this isn't fair. Tang Zhaozhao is married and no longer a member of our family. Why should I take out the noodles and brown sugar? I can't even eat these things, so why give them to Old Lady Yang? Aren't you afraid she'll have diarrhea after eating them?"
Old Lady Yang: "Hey, Old Lady Zhou, how can you talk like that? People like you who do those things worse than pigs and dogs will have diarrhea after eating. That's what you have no conscience to do. If you don't compensate me, then I can only hurt you too. This way I can repay you for your kindness. How about giving it a try?"
The team leader roared, "Enough of all the fussing! We're all working together, can't we just get along? Old Lady Zhou, take a handful of noodles and a bag of brown sugar to Old Lady Yang at noon, otherwise I'll have to deduct money from your work points."
