"Cousin Song's girlfriend? Haha, when did Cousin Song start dating?"
Wu Ping made no attempt to hide her dislike for Su Qingci, saying, "Su Qingci is really quite beautiful. No wonder my aunt and cousin were so against my cousin dating, but he quietly started dating someone else."
"Su, you look so young. Are you even an adult yet? You're so attractive, how could your family bear to send you to the countryside?"
Wu Ping looked Su Qingci up and down, as if she were examining some kind of merchandise. "How did a sent-down youth from the big city end up taking a fancy to my cousin?"
"Look at your delicate skin, you wouldn't happen to be like those educated youth who couldn't endure hardship, coaxing a man to support you so you don't want to work, would you?"
Suzhou porcelain.....
What did she do to deserve this? She doesn't even recognize this sesame oil bottle that popped up out of nowhere.
Why does my cousin with that pockmarked face talk so sarcastically?
With eyes full of hostility, if you didn't know she was his cousin, you would think she was Song Jingzhou's resentful white moonlight who was forced to separate.
Su Qingci smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling, and said in a sweet voice, "That's right, Brother Song only pursues me because I'm pretty."
"There's no way around it, what man doesn't want to find a good-looking partner?"
"If you marry someone who is ugly or has a face full of pockmarks, it will affect the genes of your offspring, and the children you have will also be ugly."
"I heard people say he doesn't want to find a partner when I first came to the team. They all say he has high standards."
"The most basic requirement for him to choose a partner is that she must be cultured and have inner qualities, and be as beautiful as an angel."
"As for whether I'm willing to work or not, you're absolutely right. It's not that I'm unwilling to work, it's that he doesn't want me to."
Su Qingci gave Wu Ping's rough, cracked hands an exaggerated look, then delicately gestured with her slender fingers in front of her.
He said, "These hands of mine look precious; they deserve to be enjoyed."
Wu Ping's heart skipped a beat, her face instantly turning ashen, and she instinctively pulled her hand under her sleeve.
What a shameless educated youth! Is he too thick-skinned or does he not understand his own meaning?
"You~"
"Alright, Wu Ping."
Liu Lanfang was on tenterhooks, afraid that Su Qingci would be angry, but Su Qingci seemed not to understand and responded to Wu Ping with a sarcastic remark.
Seeing that Wu Ping was about to say something, he quickly interrupted her.
"Don't make malicious assumptions about others. Su Zhiqing is not that kind of person. Besides, it's none of your business to interfere in your cousin's affairs."
"Sister Lanfang, I'm your sister, why are you siding with outsiders?"
"She and her cousin haven't even gotten together yet, and you're already trying so hard to please them."
"Whether it will work out is still uncertain!"
"snort!"
After saying that, Wu Ping turned and left angrily without waiting for anyone to say anything.
She slammed the door shut with a bang, startling Zhong Linfang so much that she jumped.
Seeing the commotion, Liu Lanfang looked embarrassed in front of Su Qingci.
"Su Zhiqing, I'm so sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin."
"That person, she can't keep her mouth shut, she doesn't know how to talk..."
Su Qingci looked thoughtfully at Wu Ping's retreating figure, "It's none of your business."
After talking with Liu Lanfang and Zhong Linfang for a while, Su Qingci went out to find Song Jingzhou.
Wu Ping's inexplicable targeting of him must be related to him.
**
On the ridge outside the Liu family's field, Wu Ping was pulling Song Man'e along, complaining angrily.
“I told you long ago that my cousin is definitely going to amount to something, but you all just don’t think much of him.”
"If you hadn't gone too far those years, things wouldn't be so tense now."
"After being away for a few years, he came back and even bought a bicycle, a huge item."
"How many people in our town can afford a bicycle?"
"Did you see the watch on my cousin's wrist, and that army coat? That's something our family would never afford."
"Now he has a formal job, a secure job, did he even greet you when he came in?"
"People remember it!"
"Even my aunt's family knows that you can't go too far in doing things. Look, now Brother Siqing has gone to town to eat rations with Cousin Song."
Song Man'e was annoyed by Ping's nagging. "Is it already like this? What am I supposed to do?"
"Besides, I didn't say anything wrong back then. He was just a bastard of dubious origin!"
"What your uncle left behind should be distributed among us blood relatives."
"What did your uncle leave behind? Just that house? You're not from Gaotang Brigade, so it's not your turn to participate. Why do you need to get involved with them?"
"What business is it of yours, a married aunt? Even if you really drive her away, there are still cousins Niandi and Sidi ahead of you."
"I insist on doing these thankless and annoying things!"
Song Man'e looked indignant. "What do you mean, 'house'? Your uncle was a housekeeper in one of the wealthiest families back then."
"The treasures we brought back are definitely more than what's on the surface."
"Don't assume that everything he has now is something he earned himself; it might just be what your uncle left behind!"
"Mom, I think you're hopeless. I've said so much and you still don't understand. Even if he really wasn't my uncle's son, what does it have to do with you?"
"What did you gain from your involvement in dividing up the Song family's property?"
"Just a cutting board, a basket, a few bowls, half a bag of grain, and an old cotton quilt?"
"Look at your aunt's family! If you followed them, your eldest brother would already be like Siqing, with a secure job!"
Wu Zhong, who had been eavesdropping nearby, immediately jumped out to support his sister.
"Mom, Pingping is right."
“I just asked Sister Wang Feng, and my cousin Siqing was called by Song Yaozu to go on a trip, and he got a job when he came back.”
"Just now, my cousins Sijiang and Sihe said that my cousin Siqing brought back a lot of succulents on his first day of work. He also gets a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and most importantly, he gets all kinds of receipts every month."
Wu Zhong's eyes reddened. "Mom, if you had stood with Aunt back then, we could now be eating rations with Song Yaozu!"
Song Man'e was already feeling irritable, and now her two children were criticizing her and saying she was wrong, which made her furious.
"Hey, what's the use of saying all this now? I've already offended everyone, what else can I do?"
"Does this mean I, as an elder, should kowtow and apologize to some unknown bastard?"
"mom!"
Wu Ping was furious to see that Song Man'e was still acting like an elder with her neck stiff and her posture upright.
"Is your pride more important, or our future?"
"Those pampered young ladies from the city are all scrambling to get close to my cousin now!"
"City people are the most snobbish. If my cousin didn't have some real skills, would he be so shameless as to stick around like this?"
Looking at his furious younger sister, Wu Zhong's eyes flashed with understanding.
"Little sister, you don't still have feelings for that Song Yaozu after all these years, do you?"
