"Big cousin!"

Shuying walked into the office. Today she was wearing a light apricot long-sleeved shirt. She changed the formal shirt into a round collar with a few slight pleats on the chest. The hem of the shirt was tucked into her trousers, showing her slim waist and long legs. She looked exceptionally good and stylish.

He looked more like a city person than she, a Kyoto city dweller. Chen Wei stood up and responded to the greeting enthusiastically with a smile on her face, but she felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart.

When she approached and sat down, Chen Wei found that the skin on her cousin's wife's cheeks had become whiter and softer. From a close look, it seemed that there were no pores at all. Her skin was tight and white. Her thick black hair was tucked behind her ears and hung in front of her chest. Her eyes were black, her eyelashes were thick and curled, her nose was straight, her lips were slightly red, and her facial features were indescribably delicate and eye-catching. The light apricot shirt made her whole body seem to glow, which was particularly eye-catching.

Chen Wei, who was born in Kyoto, thought that she had seen many beautiful women, but none of them could compare to her cousin's wife in appearance.

With this look, it’s no wonder that her cold-blooded cousin would fall in love with her and be determined to marry her.

Chen Wei thought so in her heart, but she felt more and more uncomfortable. Her cousin's wife seemed so pleasant and nice at first sight.

Now, thinking of her miserable situation now, Chen Wei felt more and more unbalanced. She didn't know whether she should be jealous of a country girl who married a better man than her or jealous of her for having a smooth life.

"Cousin!" Shuying saw that her cousin didn't say anything, but looked at her with more and more strange eyes, and kept looking at her. Not to mention that the look was quite penetrating, she didn't feel that it was very friendly, so Shuying had to speak up to interrupt this weird atmosphere.

As soon as Shuying opened her mouth, Chen Wei came back to her senses. She knew that no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't be hostile to her cousin's wife.

Chen Wei immediately smiled and spoke to her in a particularly friendly manner, while passing a small basket of plums beside the table to her: "Cousin-in-law, these are plums I picked in the village, and brought them specially for you and A-Xi to taste. We are all family, and although the plums are not worth much, the gift is small but the sentiment is great, and it is also a token of my appreciation."

Last time she was in pain, she gave him a can of maltose, a cloth and a bag of candy. This time, she was reluctant to give him the same things.

Shuying thought that her cousin wanted her to help her with something. Last time she gave her malted milk and sugar, and she would give them again this time. But the second time she just coaxed her with words. It seems that her husband's cousin is more vain than she thought.

Thinking about the inhumane things she did to her man's elder brother for her own benefit, Shuying had no good feelings towards her at all.

Shuying didn't intend to make close friends with others, and while rejecting the other party's "good intentions", Chen Wei's face immediately froze. Fortunately, Shuying quickly asked tentatively: "Cousin, we are all family. Is there any difficulty in asking my man for help? If it is not convenient for you to tell my man now, why not tell me, and I will definitely help and persuade my man if I can. After all, we are all family, aren't we? How can we hold grudges overnight?"

Who doesn't know how to tell lies? Is it her business or not?

really!

Chen Wei's eyes immediately lit up, emitting a scorching light, and her face completely changed from being stiff just now. She became particularly attentive to her.

Immediately, Chen Wei complained that she had been sent from Kyoto to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, and that her life was extremely hard and miserable with no hope. She asked if A Xi could help her transfer back to Kyoto.

Shuying frowned slightly. Chen Wei was afraid that she would not help and give up her hope, so she quickly pulled her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that you can't endure hardship, it's just that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people." She kept saying that there were many bad things in the village, and that there were still bad men in the village who wanted to bully her, and that she had no way out.

Chen Wei's eyes were filled with tears as she cried miserably, thinking that she could help her and would only go to the countryside for a few days. She was so eager to go back to Kyoto that she held Shuying's hand tightly with an excited expression, as if she had grabbed the last straw and was unwilling to let go, but she was afraid that she would refuse, so she stared at her with a stubborn and penetrating look.

Shuying felt pain in her hand and shook off Chen Wei's hand. She thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, calm down. I can help you with other things, but I'm afraid my man can't help you with this!"

Shuying also saw that her eldest cousin was crazy about returning to the city, and deliberately delayed and refused. With her selfish character, she would most likely anger her family.

It would be better to just refuse it from the beginning.

After being rejected, Chen Wei's face was particularly ugly, and her tone was not good: "Cousin, didn't you just say that we are a family and we should help each other? It turns out that all you said is false? Are you just going to watch me being bullied and desperate in the village? If something happens to me, what will my uncle and aunt think of you? If you are unwilling to help, I will write a letter to my uncle and aunt. The reason why I didn't ask my uncle and aunt to help is that I don't want to trouble the two old people, and I also think that you are a good sister-in-law! I have said a lot of good things for you in front of the two old people before. Otherwise, do you think you, a rural girl, can marry my cousin?"

Chen Wei's tone was semi-threatening.

Shuying had learned how powerful her cousin was. If someone didn't know the inside story, she would easily fool him with just a few words. Shuying said coldly, "Cousin, workers, peasants, and soldiers are all one family now. What's wrong? Do you look down on rural people? Do you want to try capitalism?"

This was a huge hat, and no matter how unhappy Chen Wei felt, she dared not wear it. She had also experienced the power of the rural wife that Chen Xi married, who was not at all like Su Qinhong who was easy to fool.

Now she only hated that her cousin Chen Xi did not marry the man she introduced to him. If he had, it would have been a piece of cake for her to return to the city now.

If Chen Xi's cousin really married the girl she introduced to him, what does this woman in front of him have to do with it?

A rural woman actually married a better man and lived a better life than her. God is really blind.

Chen Wei was so angry that she was speechless. The more she looked at her, the white and tender cheeks and fingers she had, and it was obvious that she had never done any heavy work. Chen Wei felt jealous and unbalanced.

Shuying always felt that keeping this tough cousin in Shilitun was a big problem, and she guessed that she had come here to work in the countryside in the first place, most likely with the intention of getting her man to help her return to the city.

This is a really good plan. Shuying suddenly changed the subject and said, "Cousin, I'm not an unkind person. We are a family. How can I watch you get into trouble? You also know that the educated youth who went to the countryside are strictly checked now. It's harder than climbing to the sky to return to the city. It's not that I don't want my man to help you, but I really can't help you. However, if you want to transfer to another village to join the production team, I can try to persuade my man to help you."

Chen Wei refused without thinking. She came here in the first place to force her cousin Chen Xi to help her transfer back to the city. Although Shilitun was a little poor, the atmosphere in the village was quite good. She heard from other female educated youth in the village that one of her friends went to another village to work in the countryside, but was taken advantage of by a ruffian in the village. She had no choice but to get married and lived a miserable life.

After sending the person away, Shuying finally breathed a sigh of relief. But when she saw that the basket of plums that had been delivered to her was also taken away, she was speechless.

When is she going to return the malted milk and other things that the other party sent her last time? What if the other party uses this as an excuse to ask her for help again?

If this relative was a good person, she would help as much as she could, but it was obvious that her husband's eldest cousin was not a good person.

She doesn't want to cause trouble.

After leaving the office without achieving her goal, Chen Wei thought about the maltose, sugar and cloth she had spent so much money on last time. The more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt and the more painful it felt.

If she had known that the other party could not help at all, why would she have given him maltose, sugar and cloth?

"Are you Yang Shuying's eldest cousin? Are you here to look for someone?" Cao Rou said in a strange tone.

Chen Wei also remembered Cao Rou and took the initiative to greet her.

Cao Rou asked her if she was working in the countryside in Shilitun. When Chen Wei answered yes, Cao Rou deliberately said, "It must be hard to work in the countryside?"

Chen Wei's face darkened, and soon Cao Rou said that she, a city girl from Kyoto, had to go to the countryside to suffer, while Yang Shuying, a country girl, had a very good life in the military area after marrying her cousin. She ate meat every two or three days, and the neighbors said that the aroma was everywhere.

How could Chen Wei not hear the other party's provocation to instigate a quarrel? However, when she heard that her cousin's wife's family ate meat every day, Chen Wei's mouth subconsciously drooled. These days, she almost ate coarse grains that choked her throat every day, and she also had to do heavy work. She could only indulge herself with a bowl of sugar water before going to bed at night.

The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced and indescribably jealous she felt.

But Chen Weiqun was able to hide. No matter how Cao Rou tried to force her to leave, she just wouldn't respond. Cao Rou was a little disappointed.

Cao Rou continued, "Most women don't have the luck of the Chen Tuan family. They don't have to do any work. Otherwise, how could they be so fair and tender?"

It also implies that Yang Shuying is shameless and seduces men every day in her seductive manner.

It was really unlucky for Chen Tuan to marry this daughter-in-law.

If Chen Tuan gets divorced in the future, she can introduce her cousin to Chen Tuan.

She had mentioned it to her divorced cousin before, but she didn't expect her cousin would still be thinking about him. But since she was not divorced, she didn't dare to break up the military marriage!

Chen Wei originally didn't plan to pay much attention to Cao Rou, but when she remembered that Yang Shuying refused to help her return to the city, she smiled and said suddenly, "My cousin's wife is really lucky. Otherwise, how could a country girl marry into the family of the commander of Kyoto?"

"What? What did you say? Chen Tuan...his family...he..." These words completely shocked her. Cao Rou screamed incoherently, with a look of disbelief on her face!

Chen Wei repeated it again, deliberately saying: "In fact, my uncle's family is not very satisfied with my cousin's country wife. If my cousin really wants to divorce and marry your cousin, then your cousin will be very lucky!"

After saying this, Chen Wei left.

Cao Rou was stunned by Chen Tuan's identity and could not speak for a long time.

No wonder! No wonder Master Zhou thinks highly of Chen Tuan, even more than his own son!

Also, Teacher Zhou's wife treats Yang Shuying much more warmly than she does to most people. It's no wonder that she goes to the Zhou family from time to time, but the Zhou family treats Chen Tuan's family better than hers.

Even Cao Rou suspected that the Gao Tuan family next door knew Chen Tuan's identity, so she was particularly attentive and enthusiastic towards the Chen family.

If she had not broken up with Yang Shuying, even if she was unhappy that Yang Shuying, a country girl, married better than her, she would have lowered her face to curry favor with her man.

But after the two had a fight, Cao Rou couldn't bear to see Yang Shuying living a good life, not to mention that he married someone much better than she had imagined. The more Cao Rou thought about it, the more jealous and unwilling she felt in her heart.

Why is Chen Tuan's father the commander?

Chen Tuan’s father is the commander, so isn’t that bastard also the commander’s child?

Thinking of all the things she had done before to offend the Chen family, Cao Rou wished she could faint.

If she had known earlier that Chen Tuan's father was the commander, she would have asked her daughter to take the initiative to approach that bastard Chen Yi.

Maybe she can marry into the commander's family in the future?

The only thing that comforted her was that Yang Shuying seemed to be unpopular in the Chen family.
