Those educated youths who were assigned there to settle down became veritable outsiders.
These newly arrived educated youths were completely unfamiliar with their surroundings and were living deep in the mountains and forests, so naturally they dared not argue with the local commune members like Chen Shuning did.
Therefore, only when she learned that Chen Shuning was an educated youth sent to the countryside did she dare to express the slight envy and jealousy in her heart.
At this moment, upon hearing that Chen Shuning was not like the other educated youth in their brigade, who were all timid and cowardly and did not even dare to speak a word to these commune members, she actually dared to talk back and argue.
She, who had initially only been bluffing and dared not say much at home, suddenly lost her spirit and became listless. She even began to stammer as she looked at her mother-in-law, hoping that she would say something for her.
However, to her surprise, just as she mustered up the courage to complain to her mother-in-law, who was always protective of her, her mother-in-law did not stand up for her as she had expected. Instead, she apologized to the female educated youth with an embarrassed expression.
The mother-in-law, who had never shown any kindness to her daughters-in-law at home, first glared at her fiercely, then magically put on a fawning smile and said to the young educated youth, "Oh, young educated youth Chen, please don't be angry, don't take it to heart."
She's from a remote mountain village, she doesn't know anything. You're a magnanimous person, don't hold it against her! Your auntie will definitely give her a good scolding later to get revenge for you!
After saying this, as if afraid that Chen Shuning was still dissatisfied, the old lady glared at the young woman who had just married into the family and scolded her: "You ignorant brat, have you been eating too much these past few days and have nothing better to do? You're meddling in everything!"
It's their own stuff, they can use it however they want, what's it to you? If your family could bring you two new quilts, I wouldn't care if you used them on the oxcart or even in the pigsty.
You ignorant fool, do you think everyone is like you? Your family is dirt poor, they rely on marrying off their daughter to make a living. When you got married, they didn't even give you a new pair of underwear, let alone a quilt.
Why can't you stand to see others doing better? I think you can forget about eating dinner tonight, lest you eat too much and go out and cause trouble for me!
Chen Shuning recognized the old woman who was cursing; she often chatted with Aunt Guixiang about everyday matters.
Aside from being a bit vain and opportunistic, he doesn't have any major flaws.
It wasn't a big deal, and since the other party had already apologized, Chen Shuning didn't know what else to say. So he smiled and said, "Auntie, what are you saying? I didn't know this was your sister-in-law. Otherwise, even if she scolded me, I wouldn't have said anything out of respect for you, would I?"
Chen Shuning's words made the old lady feel very proud, and she felt even more that her daughter-in-law was not presentable.
However, when she faced Chen Shuning, the old lady's smile instantly became more genuine. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Young Chen, you know how to talk. Unlike my son, who is petty and has never seen the world and can't stand seeing others do well."
But Little Chen, listen to your aunt. If this kind of thing happens again, no matter who it is, don't tolerate it.
Some people, the more you indulge them, the more ungrateful they become, and the more they think you are afraid of them.
Take my wife for example. When she first married into the family, she took advantage of being a new bride and would stay in bed until the sun was high in the sky every morning, making me, this old woman, get up early to cook for her.
Later, my third son couldn't stand it anymore and beat her a few times before she became more obedient.
Sigh, that's how people who come from the mountains are, they don't understand any rules!
"Yes, yes, today's wives are so different from us back then! Unlike us, when we got married, we had to take care of the whole family, and getting up early to cook was a daily routine."
At this moment, an elderly woman next to her couldn't help but complain, wondering what her daughter-in-law's life was like at home.
Now that they had a common topic, the old ladies on the bus immediately started chattering away, and the originally dull atmosphere on the bus suddenly became lively.
Seeing Chen Shuning chatting so easily with everyone in the car, the young woman who had spoken first couldn't help but feel intimidated. She quietly shrank into a corner, no longer daring to show any expression on her face, but she had already harbored resentment towards Chen Shuning in her heart.
Others may not know the truth, but she knew it all too well.
Don't be fooled by the fact that your mother-in-law always appears as a kind and gentle person in front of outsiders. Once she returns home, she immediately transforms into a fierce and vicious mother-in-law!
If her mother-in-law says she won't eat dinner, then no matter how much she begs, she will never get a single bite of food.
She has only been married into this family for a little over two months, and her mother-in-law has been frequently finding various excuses to make things difficult for her, and even often not letting her eat.
Before she got married, her family was poor and she often went hungry. But back then, the whole family was starving, unlike now, where the whole family is eating while she is the only one who is hungry.
She originally thought that after getting married, she would have no worries about food and clothing and live a happy and fulfilling life.
So when they first learned that she was going to marry into a relatively wealthy village far away from the mountains, many girls in the village envied her, thinking that she would be able to get rid of poverty and live a rich and comfortable life.
On her wedding night, as she lay on the warm and comfortable kang bed covered with brand-new cotton quilts, she naively believed that a wonderful life had begun.
