Yao Cuilian hurried to inquire about Liu Xiuni's situation, and her face did not look very good when she came back.
"Zhou Zheng, it seems like Liu Xiuni has had several boyfriends. There was a guy named Zhou Wei who followed her to the countryside, but they broke up because she was lazy and gluttonous.
She is now dating Wei Dashu from the village. Wei Dashu always brings her food and helps her with farm work. Everyone says these two are dating. "
Yao Zhouzheng didn't care about this: "How is his family situation? I heard that he knows Gu Xi, so his family situation can't be bad."
Yao Cuilian shook her head: "Haven't you met her? Look at her clothes, they are definitely not as good as Gu Xi's. Gu Xi's clothes are all beautiful and new.
After asking around, everyone said that things were not going well and that they only had enough to eat thanks to Wei Dashu. "
Yao Zhouzheng's heart started beating fast when he heard this: "I think she is quite pretty. She is from Shanghai. No matter how bad she is, she can't be worse than a country girl. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
I'll try it first and if it doesn't work I'll change it. Don’t let my parents know yet, I’m just going to try it out first. "
Yao Cuilian saw that he wasn't the type who cared much about it, so she didn't worry about it.
In the evening, Yao Zhouzheng and Liu Xiuni met in the back mountain: "I heard from the aunties in the village that you have a boyfriend named Wei Dashu now? Then why are you still dating me? I don't want to be a mistress."
Liu Xiuni finally got a good job. It is said that she had just been transferred to the town to work in the logistics of the purchasing department, which is a very lucrative department.
"I'm not in a relationship. He came to help me because he saw that I couldn't do my job well. If this is misunderstood, I won't let him help me anymore."
Yao Zhouzheng had heard so many stories of educated youth asking villagers for help that he was no longer surprised: "You should be careful not to let anyone spread gossip. People outside are saying that you are dating that person, and I dare not tell my family. You should handle it yourself. When this period is over, I will tell my family about our relationship.
I plan to tell my family and then get married after half a year or a year. "
Liu Xiuni's brain can't beat these people with ulterior motives. What the other party said was equivalent to a promise, so she followed him wholeheartedly.
"Okay, I'll explain it to him tomorrow, and to the people around me, so that no one will misunderstand me again."
Yao Zhouzheng thought that she still had a pretty face and was well-behaved and obedient. The anger she received from Gu Xi was gradually appeased by Liu Xiuni.
The two of them leaned against a tree and kissed. It was Yao Zhouzheng's first time to do anything intimate, so he didn't dare to go too far. After hugging and kissing, the two of them reluctantly went back.
"You can go back by yourself. I'm afraid that if someone sees you, it will be bad for your reputation. Take these cookies. You can eat them when you are hungry."
Liu Xiuni took the biscuits and was quite happy: "Then I'll go back. Goodbye."
Yao Zhou was watching Liu Xiuni leave, feeling happy. She came from Shanghai, was good-looking, well-behaved and obedient, and his chauvinistic mentality was greatly satisfied.
The next day, Yao Zhouzheng took a day off and asked Liu Xiuni to come to Yao Cuilian's house for lunch at noon, so that Gu Xi could see what a good man is. He bought meat and vegetables and asked Tian Wangdi to cook at home. He asked someone to buy the fattest pork belly, because you couldn't buy such fattest pork belly without connections.
At noon, Liu Xiuni went back to the educated youth center to wash up, and asked Bai Tao to borrow some floral water to spray.
As a result, when they arrived at the Tian family, the food was not ready yet, so Yao Zhouzheng asked her to help: "Xiuni, go and help Wangdi. It will be a good opportunity to show your virtuous side in front of my family. This will make me look good."
Liu Xiuni also wanted to show off in front of the Yao family, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to help.
The neighborhood committee came to Yao Cuilian's home after lunch, wanting to discuss the child's schooling, and happened to meet them having lunch.
Yao Zhouzheng saw Gu Xi and immediately put down his chopsticks, straightened his clothes and stood up: "Gu Xi, I heard that Wang Xu is not here these two days, do you want to come and have dinner with us? I just bought some meat."
Gu Xi saw the fat on the table and said, "No, this meat is as greasy as you are. It makes me sick just looking at it."
Yao Cuilian immediately stood up to defend her nephew: "Zhou Zheng still remembers to buy meat for his elders, unlike some unfilial sons who never had a drop of water and still beat their own fathers. Comparing the two, we will know who is the better one. Wang Xu is an ungrateful person who should have been strangled to death in the first place."
Gu Xi's protective temper came up again, and she picked up the wooden stick by the door, but before she could raise it, she was stopped by Wu Yue and Chang Ru. Wu Yue quickly advised: "Calm down, Gu Xi, calm down. Don't be the first one to make adjustments after the neighborhood committee is established. Pay attention to your image."
Gu Xi regained her senses instantly and straightened her clothes: "Why are you so nervous? I saw the stick fell on the ground and I just helped pick it up."
Wu Yue's mouth twitched: "You'd better be."
Chang Ru directly stated her purpose: "Our neighborhood committee is here to carry out work, mainly to solve the problem of children going to school. Both of your children have never been to school. We want to ask you the reason and see if you want to sign up."
When Yao Cuilian heard about going to school, she said, "We won't go to school. It's such a long way, no one will send the child there, and we have to pay tuition. Why should a girl go to school? It would be better to get married early and get some dowry."
Chang Ru: "That's not the case. Your nephew works in the town. He should know very well that any job requires literacy. Literacy classes are often held, which shows that the higher-ups attach great importance to reading. You should respond to the call from above. We have organized our own classes in the village now. We don't need to go to other villages, and we don't need tuition for the time being. We are at the village committee. When the time comes, we can send you there for class, which is just a few steps away."
When Yao Cuilian heard that it was free, she said: "It's fine if it's free. Send our Congbao over there. Congbao is smart and will definitely learn anything quickly. When he grows up, I'll ask Zhou Zheng to find you a job."
When Tian Congbao heard that he could go to school, he immediately became excited: "Okay, I can go to school now."
Tian Wangdi was silent on the side, with envy and yearning in her eyes. Gu Xi saw it and said, "Wangdi should go to school with us. At least she should learn to read."
Yao Cuilian immediately objected: "That won't work. Who will take care of the housework when she goes to school? We work so hard in the fields and have nothing to eat when we come home."
Gu Xi had anticipated this, and not only did she clear Yao Cuilian's mind, she also had to give Tian Guodong some drastic measures: "Wangdi has never studied before, so she has to start from elementary school. She can be in the same class with Congbao, two hours a day, and it won't affect her housework.
It is also important for girls to study. We are all women, but why do mothers tend to favor boys over girls? You suffer the same pain you have caused the next generation to suffer again. Don’t you want your children to have a better life and better choices?
Even if we take a step back, when looking for a husband, a junior high school graduate is better than an illiterate person, right? She found a good family, and helping each other is beneficial to you, isn't it?
Uncle Tian, so many of us have come to persuade you. Studying doesn't cost money and doesn't affect your work. If you still don't let Tian Wangdi go, people will say that you are mistreating your daughter and favoring one over the other. All the families in the village we visited before have agreed, except your family. You can imagine what the news will spread outside. "
