“We’ve never seen her come over all these years, but now that something’s happened, she’s brought two kids with her, and she hasn’t even had time to pack her bags! I think we should try to avoid contact with them in the future, so as not to get in their way!”
Zhao Lijuan hugged her son tightly, then glanced at her daughter Sanniu, who was sallow-faced and missing a tooth, beside her.
Compared to the fair-skinned and clean-cut Yueyue, their own daughter looked like a country bumpkin.
"No wonder those two children were so chubby, even though they were dressed simply. They must have had plenty of food and clothes that only capitalists have! The little boy was so fair-skinned. We farmers are either out in the fields or working in the yard. We don't have that kind of free time."
The two of them were talking when they arrived at the playground.
It's still early, and many people are bringing their children for a stroll.
Li Chunyan stopped abruptly: "No wonder everyone says capitalists are all evil. I don't know where they plunder the people's wealth from. We can't even count what we can see. Who knows how much more there is that we can't see!"
The group didn't understand what they were talking about, but seeing that there was something interesting to watch, they sent their children off to play and gathered around in twos and threes.
Zhao Lijuan described Shu Ying's background in great detail, and Li Chunyan spat on the ground.
"It's utterly shameful! So despicable! This kind of person should be sent down to a remote mountain village so she can experience the hardships we country folk have gone through!"
Having learned the whole story, the group looked at each other, pondering the truth of what had been said.
However, Li Chunyan is very good at crocheting shoes for children, and many young women in the residential compound like to ask her for advice.
On her first day at the family compound, she started a vegetable garden, where she usually grows vegetables according to the season.
Once the vegetables are cooked, almost everyone in the nearby households will be able to get some.
Li Chunyan is a generous person who never hesitates to share her knowledge, and many ordinary people have benefited from her kindness.
Her words today caused the expressions of the young women to become subtle.
"We only heard recently that Chief Xie's wife had come, and we were thinking of going to get to know her. We never expected that she would be of this background."
"Yeah, I saw her walk past in the yard yesterday. I wanted to say hello, but she had a cold face, and I didn't want to be friendly. Thinking about it now, it was really close. Luckily, I didn't say anything nice. If they were to investigate this and I got involved because of my class background, tsk tsk..."
The group of people couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.
Shu Ying is now a hot potato. If the higher-ups don't pursue the matter, everyone will be happy.
However, capitalists are now being strictly investigated and cracked down on.
Xie Zhiyan might be able to handle the rank, but her own husband might not.
They had endured years of hardship in the countryside before finally getting the chance to join the army, and their lives were getting better day by day.
We can't let all our good days be wasted just because we said one sentence to Shuying.
Zhao Lijuan gently patted the two children on the back: "San Niu, go and take your brother to the slide over there to play. Mommy will say a few words to the aunties."
