Chapter 12, No Need to Endure
Looking at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Mei Xue walked in carrying a basket.
It doesn't rain much in this season, but it does rain from time to time. There are two people in my family now, and it is impossible to use the same set of raincoats all the time.
There is also an umbrella for going out. Mei Xue used to dislike that thing, but now, she can't even get it.
And there is grandma's shoes. Mei Xue was wearing the old lady's high-top rain boots. Not to mention whether they fit her feet, what would happen to her grandma if she wore them?
So, you have to buy rain boots.
There are also clothes. All of grandma's clothes are patched. Since Mei Xuele recognizes Grandma He, she will keep her in her heart.
As I walked, I was figuring out what to buy.
Finally, when Mei Xue saw the white fluffy cotton, she couldn't walk anymore.
"How much is this?" Mei Xue asked the person who was speaking.
The man glanced at Mei Xue and turned his head back to continue chatting with others. Of course, she did tell him the price, "Eighty cents."
Mei Xue could accept this price, but she saw that many people around her looked disgusted, but their eyes were full of envy.
"It seems like it's better to have grandma around." Mei Xue muttered.
"Can you give me thirty kilograms?" Such good stuff, she should change everything on her bed.
There were also the quilts in grandma's room that had turned into hard stones, but she was reluctant to throw them away.
Seeing that the old man was so frugal, but agreed to let his grandson give so much money to the original owner, Mei Xue felt very sad.
The cotton seller smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Thirty kilograms." Mei Xue was in a bad mood and didn't want to complain to her. "Give me some more cloth. The green one and the dark blue one are enough for two sets of clothes."
There’s no other way. Mei Xue doesn’t know how to make clothes herself, so she can only report it this way.
"Are you wearing it?" The person also knew how to read people's expressions. Seeing Mei Xue's sullen face, she dared not help but take it seriously.
"That's about right. Just toss it a little bit."
Once Mei Xue started buying, she almost couldn’t stop.
If her basket wasn't almost full, she would still want to continue buying, and she would think that grandma was missing something when she saw it.
He pulled out some cloth for clothes, then pulled out some cloth for two quilts, and bought a pair of high-top oiled boots and a set of straw raincoats.
Seeing those ancient plastic sandals, Mei Xue also bought a pair. Her grandmother's feet were one size bigger than hers.
She knew this because she was wearing her grandmother's shoes.
After all, Mei Xue had never experienced this kind of life, so she bought everything she thought she should buy.
She put the goods in her basket and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. When she was almost at the door, Mei Xue found something good.
She almost embarrassed herself.
After buying a lot more, Mei Xue left the supply and marketing cooperative satisfied.
She would go to the carriage first to see if Aunt Meilian had already sold out.
After walking around for so long, it was almost noon. Mei Xue was actually very hungry, but there were not many people selling food on the street.
So she never smelled the fragrance and had to endure it.
He Ancheng was meeting with several horse-drawn carriage drivers in the village. Everyone had bought the things their families had asked them to do. It was noon, and it was time to go back.
"Ancheng, we'll leave first. It rained too heavily this morning. We have to go back and check the water in the fields." said the owner of another carriage from the same village.
"Go ahead. Aunt Meilian will be here soon, so we won't be late either." He Ancheng said mischievously.
When Mei Xue arrived, she happened to see people from the same village leaving, but she didn't have a good impression of those people.
They all have sharp tongues. If you meet her, humph, grandma is right, why are you scolding me? I’m tired of talking, so just slap her in the face and keep quiet.
When He Ancheng saw Mei Xue coming over, he stepped forward and called some sisters-in-law, "Sister-in-law, have you sold all?" This surprised him a little.
"Well, everything is sold out. Is Aunt Meilian not back yet?" Mei Xue asked when she saw that there was no one in the car.
"No, it's noon now, I think it's about time." Generally, the vegetables in the village will be sold out before noon.
If there were too many, they might be able to hold out until the afternoon, but the villagers would never rush home at night, so they would not pick too many vegetables every time they went out to sell.
"Okay then, let's wait."
Aunt Meilian had just sold all her vegetables, and as soon as she finished selling them, she went to her son-in-law's relative's house and asked his relative to bring a message to him, asking him to go into the village to pick them up, saying that his wife and son were coming back.
After reporting the news, Aunt Meilian, feeling tired and hungry, hurried towards He Ancheng.
When she arrived, the sun was out and it was not a pleasant experience to be exposed to the rain and sun.
"Aunt Meilian is here, let's go." Everyone in the village was very thrifty. Mei Xue didn't expect to be hungry at noon, while He Ancheng thought he could go back in time for lunch.
"Here we go, here we go. Let's go back quickly. The sun will be so hot that we will die." Aunt Meilian quickly put the basket behind the carriage and climbed up from the tire.
Mei Xue also stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Meilian, pulling her up easily.
"Xiaoxue is very strong. Haha, that's good." Aunt Meilian said with a grateful look on her face.
Aunt Meilian arrived and of course she opened her mouth when she saw the things Meixue bought, but she finally held back.
However, she used Meixue's raincoat to cover everything in the basket.
"The villagers are gossipy, so it's better to stay away from them." She really disliked the women in the village.
Back then she...
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
"Thank you, Aunt Meilian." Mei Xue was really grateful for other people's kindness.
The most important thing is that Aunt Meilian is the person who has shown her kindness since she came into this world, apart from her grandmother.
If others are kind to her, she will of course return the favor. If they are mean, well, just let them feel the strength of her palm and just think of it as her kindness.
"You are still young and ignorant. Although every household is better off now than before and can have enough to eat, your heart is like that of a devil, and you can't stand seeing others doing well."
Aunt Meilian's voice was very low, and combined with the sound of the carriage and He Ancheng's driving, it did not reach other people's ears.
Looking at Aunt Meilian's expression, Mei Xue knew that she must be suffering a lot. She would just go back and ask her grandmother about this. There was no need to talk about it in front of others now.
"Yes, I know. I was too stubborn before. I always thought that being kind to others was being kind to myself. I never expected that the final result would be so chilling."
Mei Xue was explaining her changes.
She will change in the future, and she doesn't want others to think too much. Saying these words to Aunt Meilian is just to make her understand herself better.
"You're right. Some people just push their luck. If you don't show some strength to them, they will really think you're easy to bully. I don't know about your previous personality, but I can see that you're not the kind of person who will take being bullied."
Aunt Meilian looked at Meixue with an I-knows-what expression on her face and smiled, "You don't have to endure it. You and Anze have already obtained a marriage certificate. Why are you afraid of them? If you hear them talking again, just go up and give them a beating. I'm sure they will obey."
