Yang Xiaobei smiled and picked up a piece of scallion fried egg for Jiang Shushu with chopsticks. "Wife, you like this. Let's see how it tastes."
Jiang Shushu started eating. "It's so crispy and fragrant, so delicious. You should try it too."
…
"What happened today that makes you so happy? Share it with me, and make me happy too. Sharing happiness is worse than happiness alone."
"Yang Zhiguo and Zhao Cuihua left today and returned to Yangjia Village. We won't have to see them again in the future, and no one will bother us anymore. We have no relationship with the Yang family at all, so I am happy today, especially happy." Yang Zhiguo and his wife offended the two brothers in Yangjia Village. Coupled with Zhao Cuihua's unreasonable and unforgiving personality, their days in Yangjia Village must be very lively. I am just waiting to make a fool of myself by them.
"It's indeed good news. Now that they are gone, let's let the past go and forget the unpleasantness. We won't think about them in the future and just live our own lives well." Jiang Shushu didn't want Yang Xiaobei to be immersed in the past. He hoped that he would let go of the past and look forward instead of using the second half of his life to heal the first half.
"...Okay, I know what to do. They can't affect me, don't worry."
Jiang Shushu: “…” They cannot influence your decision-making, but they can affect your mood.
"I believe you, but I firmly believe that the best revenge against someone you hate is to live a better life than him, to be happier than him, to stand at a height he can't reach. Then, even if you do nothing, he'll be furious just by hearing your name."
Yang Xiaobei seemed to have opened the door to a new world. When Yang Xiaobei thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
Yang Zhiguo and Zhao Cuihua look down on me the most. If I become successful in the future, they will have a hard life. Haha, they will probably be so angry that they will die when they can only look up to me.
"What Shushu said makes sense. Let's eat, eat, and never mention the person who spoils the fun again."
…
While eating, the two chatted about happy things around them. Jiang Shushu ate too much because he was happy. He ate until he was 9.5% full instead of 60%.
After finishing their meal, Jiang Shushu and his friend went out for a walk. Life was peaceful and quiet for Jiang Shushu, but it was not so good for Yang Zhiguo. Since returning to Yangjia Village, the three of them, father and son, have been unwelcome everywhere.
Yang Zhiguo was afraid that he would have nowhere to stay in Yangjia Village, so he went to the town's guesthouse and booked a room for a day. After putting his luggage away, he took the gifts he had bought and returned to Yangjia Village with his two brothers.
When the three of them returned to Yangjia Village, they saw that the house was about to collapse. The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment:
Why can't the house be lived in? Now I have to be busy. Oh, it's so annoying.
Yang Zhiguo took his two brothers to visit their eldest uncle and second uncle. Yang Zhiguo wanted his two brothers to help find someone to repair the house. However, because Zhao Cuihua and her husband were not kind and never cared about the elderly, and even took things from the elderly, Yang Zhiguo's two brothers disliked them very much. They ignored the three of them and said that they were not relatives at all, and drove them out of the house.
The brothers Yang Xiaodong and Yang Xiaodongnan were now even more embarrassed. They wished they could find a hole to crawl into. They had never expected that the relationship between their parents and their eldest and second uncles was so bad.
"Dad, what should we do now?" With such a bad relationship, can we still live here? But Yang Xiaonan didn't say the last two words, because he knew that no matter how difficult it was, Yang Zhiguo and his wife had to live here, or he would have to come back to live here.
Yang Zhiguo's face was also grim. "I didn't expect that after all these years, they'd still hold such a grudge. My parents have been dead for seven or eight years. Is it necessary to bring up things that happened when they were alive? Which month's pension (one yuan, my parents are partial, Yang Zhiguo gives one, and my parents give him two) haven't I paid yet?" I even brought a gift, not empty-handed, and yet they wouldn't even let me in. No wonder I've been stuck in the countryside my whole life and never made a fortune.
"What else can we do? Of course we have to repair the house. We'll go find the village chief and pay him to find someone to repair the house. Then your mother and I will rent an empty house in the village and live there, and supervise the repairs."
"good."
Yang Zhiguo found the village chief. The village chief knew Yang Zhiguo and his wife well, especially Zhao Cuihua, whom he had a deep memory of. He didn't want to accept them at all, so he kept laughing and playing it safe, and didn't give Yang Zhiguo an accurate answer. He hoped that Yang Zhiguo and his wife would give up the idea of returning to the village and go back to the city to retire.
Yang Zhiguo wasted a lot of time and effort, paid 3 yuan a month's rent in advance, and paid 50 yuan for house repairs (the excess would be refunded and the shortfall would be supplemented when the time came), and gave away all the gifts he was holding before the village chief agreed to help him find someone to repair the house.
Yang Zhiguo and his sons were met with contempt and disdain for half a day, and all three were in a bad mood. But they knew they would have to deal with the villagers again in the future, so they could only greet them with a smile, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to swallow their grievances.
Time flies, and it's the end of the year holiday again. After finishing his last shift, Jiang Shushu went home with the New Year gifts.
Jiang Shushu finished work early today and took on the responsibility of cooking, making three dishes and a soup for herself and Yang Xiaobei.
At the dinner table, Jiang Shushu looked at Yang Xiaobei and asked, "Have you finalized your work arrangements?"
"It's confirmed. I won't be on duty during the Chinese New Year. From the 30th to the 5th of the Lunar New Year, a full six days off."
"So good? I thought it would only be three days at most." After all, the Public Security Bureau is very busy during the Chinese New Year.
Yang Xiaobei thought of his colleagues and grinned. "It's all because of my colleagues' kindness. They said that I've only been married for a few months and this is our first New Year together. They wanted me to have a happy and wonderful New Year, so they all voted for me not to work overtime during the New Year."
“They’re thoughtful.”
"They are really caring, and everyone is very nice (even if some have some minor shortcomings, their strengths outweigh their weaknesses). It is because of their existence that I like this job in public security more and more. Good colleagues and partners make me look forward to going to work every day." Going to work every day is also a happy thing.
"So where are you planning to spend New Year's Day that first year? If you want to spend it in the new house, that's fine too. We can come back here after New Year's Eve dinner and go back the next day." A new house? The owner of the house wanted to spend the first year in their own house, and Jiang Shushu understood. Besides, it wasn't popular in Q City for a son-in-law to spend the New Year at the woman's house. They could accept a man supporting the woman's family, but they didn't quite accept him living off her.
"No need to go through so much trouble. We can just live in Jiangjia Village. We have rooms at home anyway. We have a ready-made place to live. Why bother running around?" Yang Xiaobei said as if it was a matter of course.
