After dinner, Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu went to Han Lei's house.
The women of the Han family were doing needlework on the kang in the east room, while Han Lei, his brother and several neighbors were playing cards in the main room.
When Han Lei saw Han Zhenyu and his wife coming, he gave the cards in his hand to his father and took them back to his room.
"Brother Zhenyu, sister-in-law, you guys sit on the kang, I'll go call my wife."
Han Lei was just about to go out when his wife came over from the east room.
After they sat on the kang and chatted for a while, Han Zhenyu winked at Han Lei, and the two of them left.
Su Xieqiu opened her cross-body bag and placed half a pound of brown sugar and a few pieces of peach cakes on the kang table.
"Qiuhua, I heard from Sister Fengqin yesterday that you are pregnant. Congratulations."
Yu Xiuhua looked at the things on the table and said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, pregnancy is not a big deal, why are you still getting things for me?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "It's not anything expensive, just some brown sugar to nourish you, and a few snacks for you to eat when you are hungry."
The two of them sat on the kang and chatted.
After Han Zhenyu and Han Lei went out, they called Sun Dashu out again.
Because it was too cold, the three of them didn't walk far and just chatted on the road.
Han Zhenyu asked them, "Do you know? Does Sun Licai from our team have a girlfriend?"
The two were a little surprised when they heard this. Sun Dashu shook his head and said, "No, everyone in the nearby villages knows what kind of family he is. Who would push their daughter into the fire pit?"
Sun Licai, whom Han Zhenyu mentioned, is 24 years old this year. He looks decent, but he is lazy and treacherous. His family is very poor and he has a strong mother. If you are not blind, who would marry their daughter to such a family?
Han Lei asked doubtfully: "Brother, why are you asking him?"
Han Zhenyu chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Su Xieyun from the Youth Academy is your sister-in-law's cheap cousin. That woman has bad intentions. Not only does she undermine your sister-in-law behind her back, she also tries to sow discord between my husband and me. I plan to help her find a partner so that she won't be too idle and cause trouble all day long."
Han Lei and Sun Dashu looked at each other and both thought that the woman might be so bold as to pluck the hair of a tiger.
I really don't know what she was thinking. How could you be so bold as an educated youth who came here to join the production team? You insisted on offending a man that no one in the village dared to offend. Are you more shameless than others?
Sun Dashu asked, "Brother, what are you going to do? Do you need our help?"
"I can't be involved in this matter, please help pass on the message." Han Zhenyu put his arm around their shoulders and walked aside, whispering to them:
“Don’t make this too obvious. When you play cards with Sun Licai and Er Gouzi, tell them about Su Xieyun’s family background.
They said she was the darling of the family, her parents were both cadres in the Haishi factory, and they sent money and gifts to Su Xieyun every month. If anyone married her, it would be like marrying a god of wealth, and he would have endless money to spend even if he didn’t work.”
The two nodded after hearing this, and Han Lei asked doubtfully: "Brother, do we still need to tell Er Gouzi about this?"
Han Zhenyu pulled the corner of his lips and said disdainfully: "Su Xieyun is not a good person, but she is arrogant and proud. I'm afraid she would look down on people like Sun Licai.
But if that idiot Er Gouzi muddies the waters, then Sun Licai can come to the rescue, and with his mouth that can coax a little girl and his pretty face, this thing might work out.”
The two suddenly realized what had happened. Sun Dashu took the responsibility and said, "Brother, we got it. Don't worry, we will take care of it. We will go to the south to play cards with them tomorrow and tell them what you told us to do."
Han Zhenyu smiled and patted their shoulders, and reminded them: "Remember, don't say it too deliberately."
"Got it, bro."
Han Zhenyu then told them about the matchbox pasting business. "I thought there was nothing to do in the winter, so I asked for a job for you. Although you can't make much money a month, it's better than doing nothing. If you want to do it, I'll tell someone tomorrow, and you can go to the match factory to get it and do it the day after tomorrow."
"Brother, brother, let's do it. Please help me."
Both of them were overjoyed when they heard the good news.
They are rural people with no connections. They have to work in the fields all year round. It is extremely difficult for them to earn a living.
Now that Han Zhenyu has given them such an opportunity, they must seize it.
Seeing how excited they were, Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "Since you are willing to do it, I will go over and say hello to my friends tomorrow."
"Thank you, bro."
The three of them chatted for a while, but it was too cold outside, so they went to Han Lei's house to watch them play cards.
It was almost dark when Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu came out of Han Lei's house.
There was no one on the street. Smoke was coming out of several chimneys nearby. I couldn't tell whether they were heating the kang or cooking dinner.
Han Zhenyu held Su Xieqiu's hand, and the couple walked slowly.
As soon as I arrived near Aunt Aihua's house, I saw Wang Shulian walking towards me from the south carrying two buckets of water.
She was wearing a worn cotton-padded jacket, and she looked much better than before, full of energy and spirit, not as lifeless as before.
Su Xieqiu quickly pulled her hand out of Han Zhenyu's hand, fearing the embarrassment of being seen by others.
As soon as Wang Shulian looked up, she saw a perfect couple opposite her. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was slender. Because she was wearing a hat and a scarf, only a pair of lively eyes could be seen.
Wang Shulian can no longer remember what Su Xieqiu looked like in her previous life.
In the previous life, the two had already divorced and had not built a house at the foot of the mountain.
This was the only change that happened to her after she was reborn.
