Although the Xiao family had suddenly become rich from poverty, they did not engage in high-profile behavior. In fact, because of Uncle Xiao's constant reminders, they kept a low profile and almost wanted to be invisible.
Even on days when they went shopping at the wholesale market, they would leave at dawn and return home after dark. They would never show off in the neighborhood.
Because they always remember what Uncle Xiao said. Their Xiao family came from the countryside, and suddenly they got such a big building in such an important unit. It would definitely make those who worked hard for half their lives and were only allocated a house jealous.
They must keep a low profile and slowly integrate with the people in the community to reduce conflicts.
☆
"...Before integration, everyone can treat everyone in this community as a stranger, or even as if they don't exist. Don't pay attention to their looks or actions. We just need to know that we have the ability to live here, not because of them.
Especially you, Xiao Yi, you are the most sensitive. But today I want to call on you.
Our entire Xiao family's transformation is thanks to your son. Don't let others talk about you behind your back, or you'll be unable to bear it.
If you dare to run away from home and ask to go back to your hometown because of some gossip from others, I tell you, your own father will crawl out of his grave and beat you up.
If you're inexperienced at managing relationships in the neighborhood, spend more time with your sister-in-law. She's great at it. When people praise her, she plays along. When people criticize her, she pretends not to hear. If there's a chance, we can fight back. After all, we're not RMB. It's impossible for everyone to like us. Besides, a building this large, guarded by security, is something many people dream of their whole lives.
If I wasn't your elder brother, I would say behind your back that you were just lucky.
If I had any significant connections, I might even want to investigate you to see if your son had done anything illegal so I could report you.
Don't think I'm exaggerating, this is the reality.
Also, the area of our community is not large, but because of its existence, the surrounding villa areas and apartment areas are all high-end communities.
Well, this just reminds you how awesome our community is.
My main point is that anyone who can afford a house in a neighborhood like this must have fought their way through it all. So, don't be fooled by those old men playing chess peacefully all day long; in reality, they're secretly fighting fiercely.
We are ordinary people. We just need to work hard and not get involved in their affairs. Before we live here for three to five years, even if they ask us to bring a needle, no matter what they say, we will ignore them.
The Xiao family members were not well educated, but none of them were illiterate. Most importantly, their elders had taught them from a young age to listen more and talk less.
And they listen to their eldest brother.
Unfortunately, no matter how good your defenses are or how well you're prepared, sometimes you can't defend yourself. Take, for example, some seemingly harmless attacks that simply aim to make you look bad.

Because Xiao's mother was thinking of giving Xiao Yu some snails, she took the people from the Xiao family who were going to the supermarket early in the morning and went to the supermarket they had inquired about.
This is a supermarket with an English name. The supermarket is also very large and gives people a sense of fashion, luxury and luxury as soon as they enter the supermarket. Entering the supermarket makes people feel like entering a high-end place.
This made many members of the Xiao family, who had not seen much of the world, feel a little unsure.
Uncle Xiao, who had been to many places with his leader, had a bad feeling. Therefore, soon after entering the company, he instructed everyone to keep an eye on the children and not let them run around.
The situation in the supermarket was exactly as Uncle Xiao had imagined. It was clearly a place dedicated to providing high-end enjoyment for people of a certain status.
First of all, the packaging and display of each commodity are not like those in ordinary supermarkets, where they are filled to the brim. Instead, they look like works of art in an exhibition hall.
The prices below are also in English, Chinese and numbers. Finally, the most common salt is more than ten times higher than in ordinary supermarkets.
This price made the Xiao family, who had just tasted the sweetness of the wholesale market, unable to make any move. In the end, Xiao Rong paid for a barrel of oil worth 300 yuan for each family, and three pounds of meat was considered a start.
☆
"They are the ones?"
“It seems so.”
"Didn't I hear they were from the countryside? How can they afford to come to a place like this?"
"It's just pretending to be rich. When poor people suddenly become rich, they behave in a very ugly way. Isn't that what happens?"
"Stay away from these people, or you'll get strangled."
"I can smell the stench of chicken shit on them."
"I heard that people in the countryside don't like to take baths."
"How funny! With such a big cart, you only buy a barrel of oil and a few pounds of meat?"
"Don't you have no money?"
"..." Mother Xiao was a sensitive person. The more uncomfortable she was in a situation, the more nervous she became. When she noticed some familiar faces in the food area, but she didn't know where she had seen them before, she didn't take it seriously at first.
But when she was hesitating in the baking area, wondering whether to buy some to take back, in case her eldest son came over today and the house was not without even some snacks, she heard whispers not far away.
And those people seemed to be doing it on purpose, saying no and pointing fingers.
☆
Thinking about the experience of being inexplicably cheated by someone when she was in school, her mood sank, and she realized that it must be like what her elder brother said, that they were being plotted against by someone out of jealousy.
When her youngest son looked at the baking area for the third time, she gritted her teeth and bought a free-range roast chicken worth 199 yuan, a Imperial Capital roast duck and a few pounds of freshly baked cakes in the baking area.
