Chapter 51 Chapter 51
"Xiao Rui, are you going?" From outside came the urging voice of his sister-in-law: "The movie is about to start."
Jia Guoye looked at her and whispered: "Go quickly, I'll pick you up in the evening."
"Okay."
Jia Yourui nodded, and before she walked out the door, she turned back and said to him with a playful smile: "Remember to pick me up in the evening."
"Okay." Jia Guoye said, with a slight smile on his face.
...
There were few ways to entertain at that time, and free open-air movies were very attractive.
Once the news of a movie showing came out, it would often immediately attract people from several villages.
Along the way, Jia Yourui met many people, some of whom were carrying their own chairs and benches. Some of them greeted her sister-in-law, and occasionally a few called her name.
......
The seats were limited. When they arrived, the movie hadn't started yet, but the seats were already full. The people standing formed a circle. The people at the farthest end could only stand on their chairs and stretch their necks to look around, just to see more clearly.
There were all kinds of small stalls around the edge of the venue, some selling snacks, some selling small toys made of wood, and even some selling clothes and fabrics.
The large open space in the sun-lit valley where the movie was shown was densely packed with chairs and stools from various families, and it was full of people.
......
"Yourui, you and Mingyu wait here, I'll go get the chairs that were left here."
"Okay."
Not long after, my sister-in-law struggled to get out of the crowd carrying a long bench. Jia Yourui hurriedly walked to the front two and helped my sister-in-law get the bench.
Jia Mingyu had no mood to watch the movie, he just wanted to find a friend to play with. It happened that the place was so crowded, and Liu Xiuli didn't want her son to bother her, so she gave him two cents and told him to go to the stall to buy some food and playthings, and wait by the maltose stall after the movie.
......
Jia Yourui and her sister-in-law stood on the bench together, almost at the outermost edge of the crowd. The people in front blocked most of the screen, and they could only see some pictures in the gap. Jia Yourui herself didn't care whether she sat or stood, but she felt that her sister-in-law was tired of standing, and if she hadn't waited for her, she might have grabbed the seat, and Jia Yourui couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
......
"Yourui."
The sudden voice beside her startled her. Jia Yourui turned her head in confusion and saw a man with an expression that disgusted her.
"What's the matter?" Jia Yourui asked. She had no impression of the man in front of her.
"It's me, Yongwang, who gave you rouge." The man rubbed his hands, and his smile was full of earnestness and a hint of obscenity.
Jia Yourui suddenly felt nauseous.
She thought, it was all Jia Guoye's fault that she ate half a more pancake.
......
"What rouge?" she asked.
Chen Yongwang didn't react and said "Ah?" reflexively.
"I said you gave me some rouge." Jia Yourui didn't like being pestered by this man named Chen Yongwang, and said impatiently: "I'll return it to you when I find it at home."
"No, no." Chen Yongwang shook his head and stammered: "I didn't come to ask you for rouge."
He said: "I came to give you a seat, look over there." He pointed in a direction, "This is the seat I took, go sit down."
"No." Jia Yourui turned her eyes back to the screen, not even looking at him.
"Yourui, sit down, it's tiring to stand, you're so delicate..."
"I said no." Jia Yourui frowned and interrupted Chen Yongwang's words, revealing her undisguised disgust.
Chen Yongwang said hurriedly: "Okay, Yourui, I won't bother you then."
...
Liu Xiuli, who had witnessed everything, patted Jia Yourui on the shoulder: "These are not good people, Xiaorui, don't associate with them in the future."
"Yes." Jia Yourui nodded repeatedly.
She said: "I was ignorant before."
Liu Xiuli praised Jia Yourui with an affirmative look. She looked at her sister-in-law who had sobered up now, and she was relieved.
...
When Jia Yourui was involved with those perverts before, Liu Xiuli was the same as Jia Youkai, afraid that Xiaorui, who was so beautiful and self-destructive, would be taken advantage of by someone.
But she was different from Jia Youkai. Jia Youkai was wary of all men who approached his sister, especially Jia Guoye. But Liu Xiuli thinks Jia Guoye is a good person, unlike other people who approach Jia Yourui with bad intentions because of her beauty.
But the two of them are not a good match after all, both in appearance and family background. Her husband and father-in-law are already discussing bringing her sister-in-law back to live with them. Liu Xiuli sighed a little. If Jia Guoye was more beautiful or had a decent family background, Xiaorui's brother wouldn't look down on her so much.
"Xiaorui."
"Eh." Jia Yourui looked at her sister-in-law curiously, wondering why she was calling her.
Liu Xiuli said with a teasing look: "Is Jia Guoye very good to you?"
Jia Yourui's face began to turn red again, and she whispered: "Well, it's okay."
"Why is your face so red, little girl, are you shy?"
"No, sister-in-law, we are watching a movie."
Liu Xiuli looked at Xiaorui, her small and delicate face quickly turned red, her bright eyes sparkled, she understood something in her heart, and her vague guess made her unbelievable.
Xiaorui's brother's plan was probably going to fail.
Tsk tsk, Liu Xiuli's scalp tingled when she thought about what might happen in the future. She shook her head and concentrated on watching the movie.
