"Besides, do you know that my daughter-in-law's younger brothers and sisters are here to take advantage of our family, not to subsidize our family? You are really good at making up stories. How many people in my daughter-in-law's family have jobs?" After saying that, he was still not satisfied and continued to talk back.
"They still need my daughter-in-law to support her younger siblings. Her parents have been employees for more than ten years, not to mention her older siblings all have jobs. You're probably dreaming, they still need our subsidies. I think you're just idle here to gossip. Don't drag me along and waste so much of my time. You might as well go back and worry about your own family affairs. Who in the team doesn't know about your family's trivial matters?"
Aunt Li stood up, patted her butt, and was about to leave when she saw a stranger riding a 28-inch bicycle coming to the village entrance. Judging from his attire, he was obviously a postman.
Aunt Li no longer looked at them coldly and greeted them warmly.
"Comrade, you're here again. Who are you sending a letter to this time? Do you need me to give you directions?"
"Auntie, it's you. I've been to all the houses I visited this time, but here's a letter from your youngest son's family, as well as a remittance slip. Should I give it to you or send it to your home?"
Aunt Li's eyes lit up when she heard the remittance slip. Isn't this a great tool to slap someone in the face?!
Turning around, she saw that the expressions on those people's faces were not very good, especially the envy and jealousy in some of their eyes, which she noticed.
"You send it over. I'm going to my own plot now and won't be home for the time being!"
"Okay, then I'll go deliver the letter and won't bother you anymore."
"Goodbye, comrade!"
After saying goodbye to the postman, Aunt Li no longer paid attention to the people there and walked directly towards her private plot. She even sang happily along the way.
When she met a few familiar aunts, they all asked her what happened when she was so happy, so she told them what had just happened as a joke.
They felt helpless when they heard this. Those of them who were good friends with Aunt Li knew more or less about the situation in her family, not to mention that the fabric Aunt Li had recently given them in exchange was sent by her daughter-in-law's family.
They said her family needed the second daughter to support her younger siblings, but they didn't believe it. Only those brainless people were discussing it.
I don’t know if it’s because the fields have been quiet recently that they are so idle.
The two sisters were unaware of the gossip outside at this time. Even Su Tao and the others who were familiar with Song Tanglan just treated it as a joke when they heard about it and did not tell them.
Su Tao treated this as a joke and told it to Sun Jianhua.
"Don't you think these aunts are just meddling in other people's business? There are still so many people who believe these things. I don't know what they are thinking."
"You, just keep these things to yourself. Don't tell Xiao Song and the other educated youth. It will only make them feel uncomfortable. There's no need to tell them."
"I'm not stupid, why would I tell her? Oh, Jiang Zhiqing said there's a lot of mint growing by the stream where he lives. Let's go get some mint leaves and soak them in water to cool down."
After Su Tao finished speaking, she stood up, wiped her hands, and prepared to go out to pick some, but was stopped by Sun Jianhua. "You stay at home, my cousin and I will go pick them."
"Yes, it's a small matter like making your delicious food. Why do you need to run errands? We can do it." After saying that, he immediately stood up and prepared to walk out of the house. The two of them went straight to Jiang Shubai and looked at the mint.
The two of them picked a lot of them and dug up a few plants, preparing to take them back to plant.
…
At this time, there was a noise outside the yard.
The two men looked at each other, opened the gate and saw that it was an acquaintance, so they greeted him with a smile.
"My two educated youths, I won't stop for tea. Here are your letters and remittance slips."
Song Tanglan took the letter and looked at the address on it curiously, and found that it was sent from home. As for the remittance slip, there was no need to guess, everyone knew it was sent from home.
"Thank you for making this special trip. These fruits are grown at home. They are not worth much, so you can eat them!" Song Tangcheng said and stuffed two big fruits into his hands.
The postman quickly refused and was about to explain their policy when he saw Song Tangcheng put two fruits into his bag. He had no choice but to accept them.
"Thank you, both of you educated youth. I'll go to the next house first. Remember to go to the post office to exchange the remittance when you have time."
After saying that, he rode away on his bike, fearing that Song Tangcheng would stuff something else into his hand.
The two sisters were stunned by the speed, and they looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Second sister, you are too enthusiastic and scared me."
"I just gave him two pieces of fruit because he came all the way here to deliver a letter to us. I didn't expect this young comrade to be so easily shy."
The two sisters closed the valve and returned home. At this time, Song Tangzi finally took out the small treasury that he had put down.
The two sisters saw his expression and teased him, "Why, are you willing to put down your little treasury and come out to chat with us two sisters?"
"I haven't had enough of counting yet. I can't count out the 160 yuan!" Song Tanglan always knew that this little brother was a money-grubber, but she didn't expect that he would be so happy after earning only more than 100 yuan.
Looking at his expression, you don't have to guess to know that he is often cheated by his father.
"Second sister and fourth sister, you don't understand. Now that dad is not around, of course I have to live a good life and count the money. If dad were here, my pocket money would have been gone long ago. By the way, this is for you, 10 yuan each. Mumu gets some too. I'm being generous, don't I?" After saying that, he took out the 10 yuan that he had prepared long ago.
The two sisters couldn't help laughing when they saw his expression. "I didn't expect we had it too. If that's the case, then we'll take it. I've worked so hard to earn money to support you two sisters."
