As soon as Chen Shuning came out, Wang Qingmei immediately abandoned Qin Yalan and ran over to grab Chen Shuning's hand, showering her with compliments. Her eyes sparkled as she kept saying, "Oh my, Shuning, you're getting more and more beautiful. You're a lucky girl. If you become successful in the future, you'll have to help your fourth uncle out a lot!"
Hearing Wang Qingmei's deliberately strained voice, Chen Shuning felt an urge to go back and put on his thick cotton-padded coat.
He gave an awkward laugh, pulled his hand away from Wang Qingmei's grasp and put it in his pocket, and asked, "Fourth Aunt, why did you come so early today? Is something urgent?"
It's worth noting that Wang Qingmei usually doesn't even come to his yard, so it's not unreasonable for Chen Shuning to ask her this question so early in the morning.
However, since they weren't people she was usually close to, Chen Shuning's tone wasn't as intimate as when she spoke to her aunt, Li Guilan.
If this were in the past, her fourth aunt would probably have already said something harsh about her lack of manners.
But this time, Wang Qingmei wasn't angry at all. Instead, she still smiled and said, "Auntie, I've come to ask you for a favor!"
"Fourth sister-in-law, Shuning is a junior and cannot accept your request. Besides, she is just a child and cannot do anything. If you really need something, it will be useless to ask her."
Others might not know, but Qin Yalan could see it clearly. Her fourth sister-in-law was always the type to do things without any benefit. Now that she had come to see her daughter and said such things, it was obvious that she was preparing for something. So she cut off Chen Shuning's words before she could speak.
However, Qin Yalan clearly underestimated the extent of Wang Qingmei's shamelessness.
They had already politely declined, but Wang Qingmei seemed oblivious, still smiling as she said, "Hey, look at what you're saying, Second Sister-in-law. Shuning is about to get married, how can we still treat her like a child?"
Besides, only Shuning can really help me with this, so I, as the eldest elder, have swallowed my pride and come to ask my niece Shuning for help.”
Wang Qingmei deliberately bit the elders and her eldest niece very hard, in order to use her status as an elder to suppress Chen Shuning.
If it were the original owner, she might actually care about this elder, since she was taught from a young age to respect her elders, even if she disliked one.
But she didn't expect that Chen Shuning was no longer the original owner of this body. Not to mention Wang Qingmei, even if it was her aunt, or even if the old master and old lady of the Chen family came in person, Chen Shuning would not give them any face.
"Auntie, what are you saying? I'm just a young educated youth visiting home, a little girl, how could I possibly help you? Please don't make fun of me, Auntie."
After glancing at Wang Qingmei, who seemed certain that she would ask her what she wanted, Chen Shuning smiled innocently and began to speak.
Even though Wang Qingmei was thick-skinned enough, she was still a little embarrassed by Chen Shuning's words. Her favorite saying used to be, "What use is a little girl?"
“Hey, not all girls are the same, are they? Our Shuning is so lucky. She can go to a high-class family like the He family in the countryside. This little thing of yours is just a trivial matter in your eyes, Fourth Aunt.”
Because she gave birth to Chen Jianzhong as soon as she entered the family, Wang Qingmei often talked about the useless girl, and she did the same with her own daughter, Chen Shuting.
That's why the girls in the family didn't really like her.
When Chen Shuning heard Wang Qingmei say that the He family was a prominent and wealthy family, his face immediately darkened. He knew that at this time, the most taboo words were landlords, capitalists, and prominent and wealthy families. If those red armbands heard these words, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
"Fourth Aunt, you can't just say things like that. What do you mean by 'high-class family'? This isn't like before liberation. What high-class family is that now?" Chen Shuning's voice unconsciously rose eight octaves, and her face turned extremely ugly.
At this moment, Qin Yalan's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Shuning is right. Fourth sister-in-law, you should watch your words in the future. These days, the idea of a 'high-class family' is no longer fashionable."
Besides, before joining the revolution, the old master of the He family was a genuine poor peasant from a very poor family. How did he become a high-class family in your mouth? The He family dares not accept such a reputation.
"If there's nothing else, Fourth Sister-in-law, you should go back first. Shuning and I are going out for a bit later, so we won't keep you any longer."
If an ordinary person heard this, they would understand that the person had no intention of helping them at all, and was practically telling them to leave.
Those who knew what was good for them should have left, but Wang Qingmei was the type who wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, and she was also thick-skinned enough. After hearing Qin Yalan's words, she just smiled awkwardly, but she didn't have any intention of leaving at all.
He said with a grin, "Oh dear, I just can't speak properly. Second sister-in-law, please don't take it personally."
Actually, what I wanted to ask Shuning to do wasn't anything big. It's just that Shuning is about to marry that boy from the He family!
I was thinking, second sister-in-law, your son-in-law is so outstanding, his friends must all be very outstanding too. Your Shuting is only two months younger than Shuning, and now Shuning is getting married, but my Shuting doesn't even have a boyfriend yet.
So I was thinking, could Shuning pick a good boy from the He family's neighborhood and introduce him to Shuting?
That night, Chen Tiejun thought about it again and again, and finally told Qin Yalan what had happened in the front yard.
After all, quite a few people in the courtyard heard it at the time. If I told my wife, she would at most be a little unhappy. But if she heard about it from someone else, she would never forgive me.
