Dong Ping comforted Yang Fengxia for a while, but seeing that she kept crying and repeating the same things over and over, her patience gradually wore thin.
She made an excuse to go to Xiangxiang's house to call Kangning home, which finally gave her some peace and quiet.
After picking up Kang Ning, Dong Ping went back to ride her bicycle. Yang Fengxia wanted her to stay for dinner, but Dong Ping declined.
Yang Fengxia saw them to the door and told Kang Ning to come back to play again tomorrow.
Just then, Zhang Jun suddenly arrived.
He first greeted Dong Ping.
Dong Ping lowered her eyes and awkwardly uttered an "Ah."
Dong Ping didn't dare to look up. She knew she couldn't hide her feelings on her face and was afraid that if she did, Zhang Jun would see the disdain in her eyes.
Honestly, after what happened, she didn't know how to look her brother-in-law in the eye anymore.
He looks like a decent person, so why does he do such inhuman things?
Dong Ping made an excuse about picking up her child and having other things to do, then rode off on her bicycle with her daughter as if fleeing.
From afar, Zhang Jun could still be heard saying to Yang Fengxia behind her, "Mom, has Xiaoxue come to your place yet? She left early this morning and hasn't come back. I've been looking for her all day, worried that something might have happened to her outside..."
Dong Ping couldn't help but spit at him when she heard this.
Men who have affairs are shameless!
Isn't it normal for your wife to find you disgusting and avoid you after doing something so shameless? How dare you come to your wife's family to ask about it!
You think no one knows about the shady thing you did?
Are you worried she'll get into trouble outside? Hmm, the way you talk makes you sound like such a good man and husband.
That's a weird pose.
Pooh!
dross!
When they got home, Dong Ping told Fang Hai about Zhang Jun's affair, and Fang Hai was shocked.
"I never imagined that someone who looks so honest would do something like this."
"Yes, I was shocked when I heard that."
Dong Ping sighed a few times, not understanding why her older sister would forgive Zhang Jun instead of divorce him.
Fang Hai said, "After all, we've been married for over ten years, and Panpan should be in high school by now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your child. Nobody wants their child to live in a broken family; that would be so pitiful."
"That's true, it's just a pity for my older sister." Dong Ping thought of this and pouted, "She's already thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and she still wants to have a son for Zhang Jun. Who knew that this scumbag was having an affair behind her back. Although she forgave Zhang Jun this time, she must be feeling really bad inside."
When a man cheats, women tend to sympathize with other women.
Even though Dong Ping disliked her sister-in-law Fang Xue, she felt extremely sorry for her after what had happened to her.
Fang Hai: "You can say these things to me, but don't say them outside. My older sister is strong-willed. If she finds out you're talking about her like this behind her back, she might hold a grudge against you in the future."
"I know." Of course, Dong Ping wouldn't tell anyone.
Other couples may quarrel in bed but make up in bed. What if the older sister is really out of her mind and gets won over by Zhang Jun again? The couple might be living happily ever after, but in the end, she might be the one who ends up pleasing neither side.
She's not stupid enough to get involved in such messy things.
The most urgent task right now is to sell these goods!
On the first day, Dong Ping brought a small bag of clothes to test the waters. She took a bus to the countryside from the bus station and got off at the town where the bus terminated.
After getting off the bus, she first asked the driver what time the last bus back to the city was, so as not to miss the bus back to the city because she didn't know the time. Only then did she take her clothes and go to the town market.
Because the reform and opening up had only been going on for a few years, the free market economy in the countryside had not yet developed.
It was called a market, but it was really just a dilapidated crossroads where people set up stalls along the roadside to sell vegetables and fruits grown in the fields.
There were few sellers and few buyers; the market was sparsely populated and almost deserted.
Dong Ping found a relatively clean open space at the end of the street, first laid a layer of plastic sheeting on the ground, then unwrapped the bed sheet containing the clothes and laid it on the plastic sheeting.
She arranged the clothes very well, placing each piece neatly.
Unfortunately, there weren't many people at the market, and only a few inquired about prices, but not many items were sold. Dong Ping waited for over an hour before selling one item and earning two yuan.
Dong Ping was not discouraged; she actively sought out the problems.
She felt that her idea of selling clothes in the countryside was correct, but she just hadn't found the right method yet.
Another hour passed. Dong Ping didn't make a sale during this hour, but a turning point came.
She met a little girl who came to sell eggs. The little girl had no money; she had just sold her eggs and exchanged them for matches and salt. She really liked the clothes Dong Ping brought; they were stylish and cheap. She stared at them longingly for a long time, reluctant to leave.
She wanted to go home to ask her family for money, but she was afraid they would think she was making it up and wouldn't give it to her. Finally, after a long while, she mustered up the courage to ask Dong Ping, "Auntie, I want to buy this dress, but I don't have any money on me. Would you like to come to the village with me? It's not far, just in Xiaogaozhuang up ahead, only four or five miles away, a twenty-minute walk."
Dong Ping didn't really want to go.
She was afraid of encountering danger. What if someone had malicious intentions and instructed the child to lead her to a secluded place to steal her goods?
They were also worried that the child wouldn't be able to make the decision, and that once she arrived, the child's parents wouldn't be willing to buy it for her.
"Little sister, are you sure you want to buy this?"
"Yes, she can." The little girl nodded firmly. "She'll definitely buy it for me; she promised a long time ago!"
Dong Ping hesitated.
