Chapter 680: Being Envied and Hated by Others
After lunch, Lu Hanzhou had to go out for something, and sent Xu Zijin to Xu Yu's house.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, members of the Xu family arrived.
Second uncle, third uncle and third aunt.
There are ten people in the family of the eldest uncle of the Xu family and six in the family of the third uncle of the Xu family.
There are also several uncles, aunts, and several cousins.
In an instant, the house was filled with people.
"Second brother, how much did this house cost?"
It was the first time for everyone to come here. After touring with everyone else, my aunt couldn't help but ask.
Xu Cheng smiled and said, "I really don't know the exact amount. Mei Zi and Kang Kang are in charge of it. The money was sent back by Jiao Jiao."
"As for the things on the bed and the sofa, they were also sent by Jiaojiao from Guangdong Province. I am only responsible for receiving them."
"But I estimate that it should cost five or six thousand."
Five or six...thousand?
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened into lanterns.
Although the land has been distributed to each household, life is much better than in the previous years under the collective.
But for people in the country, after deducting expenses, it would be good if they could save two or three hundred yuan a year.
This house is really nice. If it belonged to an ordinary family, it would take at least 20 years of hard work to build it.
In the next twenty years, nothing unexpected happens and nothing major happens.
"Uncle, is Jiaojiao's salary that high? So much money, she can just give it away if she says so?"
"Didn't she say that she was just a teacher? Did she ask students to give her gifts?"
Aunt Xu was already extremely jealous.
After Xu Ziju came back, she described Xu Zijin and Xu Zilan as villains, and her heart was filled with hatred besides jealousy!
As soon as he opened his mouth, he started slandering his niece.
"Aunt San, you are slandering people. It is against the law to slander people."
"You slander Jiaojiao right away. Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Zimei came out of the house and happened to hear this.
As the eldest sister, her younger siblings were small and weak. Xu Zimei had been aggressive since she was young. When she heard this, her face instantly turned dark.
At this time, the Third Uncle's wife also spoke up: "Yes, Old Third's wife, you can't say such things casually. This will ruin your reputation."
"Yes, yes, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, you are my third aunt, is it appropriate to talk about your niece like this?"
Another family elder immediately agreed.
Aunt Xu suddenly became a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill her.
Suddenly her face turned embarrassed: "I didn't say anything wrong, I was just telling the truth."
"Think about it, how much does a teacher earn in a month? Who doesn't know that?"
"She is just a teacher outside, not a high-ranking official. Where does she get so much money?"
As my third aunt, she spared no effort to destroy my sister's reputation. What on earth does she want to do! ! !
Xu Zimei was really angry!
"Jiaojiao is no longer a teacher. She is a writer. I tell you, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
"She has written three novels now, and one has been made into a movie."
"The movie 'Running Towards the Sunshine' that was shown in the county not long ago was written by her!"
"Aunt San, let me tell you, it's useless for you to be jealous, because you don't have this fate."
"If you are a person with a heart as small as a needle, your daughter will be like you, destined to be poor and miserable all her life!"
What?
She writes movies!
The older generation doesn’t know, but the younger generation knows that the movie was shown for three days in the commune cinema last month!
Oh my god, is that girl so powerful?
No one cared about Xu Zimei scolding Aunt Lu, because she deserved it, but everyone was shocked by the news.
For a moment, everyone opened their mouths wide, envious.
"Big Head, we understand that you are jealous."
"But you are being too much when you say this without any basis. Go and apologize to Jiaojiao."
Aunt Third was the oldest and most senior woman in the group. She looked at Aunt Xu with a reproachful look on her face.
Seeing so many people staring at her, Aunt Xu was embarrassed.
Although she is fierce, she doesn't dare to act unruly in front of the elders of the clan.
I could only perfunctorily say: "I was wrong, I just have a foul mouth, okay? I will admit my mistake to Jiaojiao later."
The clan members originally came for the Xu family's happy event, so it would not be good if they caused unpleasantness.
Seeing this, Xu Cheng came over and said, "Sister-in-law, I will forgive you on her behalf this time. I hope you can be more virtuous in your words in the future."
"There is still a lot to do today, and I will trouble you all in a while."
Whose family has problems and the clan members don’t help?
Won't you help?
Can!
Next time something happens at your home, just do it yourself.
After drinking tea, my second uncle took charge and everyone divided the work.
The economy is not well off these days, so no one will hold a grand wedding.
There will be only ten banquet tables tomorrow, each table with six main dishes, six vegetarian dishes and four cold dishes.
After dividing the work, everyone got busy.
The tables for tomorrow were set up in the hall and the basement, and a big stove was set up in the yard, and soon everyone was busy.
When looking at that huge pile of meat, the people washing vegetables were trembling with fear... Xu Cheng's family - was really rich!
Aunt Xu's eyes flashed, and after working for a while she said she had a stomachache and had to go to the hospital, then turned around and ran away.
"Who is this? Are you here to help?"
"What stomachache? I saw her chewing handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts just now."
"You just want to be lazy, why are you making up so many excuses?"
Xu Zilan's second sister-in-law looked at him with disdain and couldn't help but speak out.
A cousin who was also assigned to wash vegetables smiled and said, "It's not the first time you've met this person. There's no point in talking."
"I heard that Lan Zi's man is Jiao Jiao's man's subordinate, and is said to be his right-hand man. Is that true?"
Mrs. Xu nodded immediately: "It's true, and it was Jiaojiao's man who arranged the matchmaking for her."
After hearing this, the aunt looked envious and said, "Your sister-in-law will definitely be amazing in the future."
"Look at Jiaojiao. She was so pitiful when she was little."
"If your second uncle hadn't come back, she wouldn't have been able to go to school. Look how well she is doing now."
"Her man is the head of a group at such a young age. It's incredible, incredible."
In the countryside, a person with the title of "head of the group" is a very important official.
In the movie, the captain is a very powerful man, and they don't care about the captain or deputy captain.
They are all group leaders anyway.
Mrs. Xu was also envious: "Yes, I didn't expect that my Lan Zi would have such good fortune. Fortunately, she broke off the engagement with the Sun family."
Isn’t it?
My aunt is no stranger to Sun Zhigang.
Hearing this, she raised her lips with disdain: "Besides studying a little, what else did that educated youth have?"
"It's okay that he can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands, but he changed his mind once he entered the city. He is an ungrateful person."
"By the way, when your Lan Zi comes back, ask her to help."
"If there are any good officers, don't forget my Lingling. They will be together in the future and have someone to take care of them."
