Chapter 306 The Storyteller
The weather was getting hotter, and Lin Yiyi felt bored at home while recuperating after giving birth. She counted down on her fingers, wishing that a week would have passed by the time she woke up.
She felt bored staying at home, but some people would come to visit her every now and then.
She got angry when she saw Tian Meihui's arrival.
But she is Tian Meiling's cousin, and she didn't do anything ulterior motive in the yard.
You can’t say anything, and you can’t scold anyone.
It is impossible for Lin Yiyi to go looking for trouble and take the initiative to bring it to light. Others will reply that you are thinking too much, or that people who are in confinement have too much free time and are prone to imagine wild things, and she will immediately become suspicious.
The key point is that others did not rush to talk to him openly, but just watched and watched silently from the side.
This practice is disgusting, just like a fly that can't be killed or driven away.
She didn't want to compete with others for men. Zhao Sheng also did his duty and abided by the rules and had good male ethics. It was Tian Meihui who was causing trouble.
Women in the new era can hold up half the sky and have the courage to pursue their own happiness. Tian Meihui has implemented this slogan.
There must be suitable male teachers working as teachers in school, so why are you always thinking about other people's husbands?
Lin Yiyi considers herself to be broad-minded and able to distinguish things clearly, but feels that if this matter is allowed to continue to develop like this, it will easily lead to trouble. Once a woman falls into a cycle of internal consumption and self-admiration, it is easy for her to do irrational things if no one comforts her.
After all, women are emotional and easily impulsive.
We can't let Tian Meihui ruin the relationship between us and my cousin's family.
By the end of May, Lin Yiyi had completed 30 days of confinement and could not wait to go to the bathhouse to take a bath and wash her hair early in the morning.
I rubbed myself all over, inside and out, up and down, and almost made myself bald.
You can take a bath but you still need to keep warm, avoid eating raw and cold food, and stay in confinement for another half a month.
After taking a shower, Lin Yiyi returned home and went into the house to check on Youyou and Mozai who were sleeping. Her cousin's wife went out to buy groceries, and Tian Meihui arrived as promised.
At first I thought she came too early today, but since it’s the weekend, it’s not surprising.
The yard was quiet. Afraid that she would keep knocking on the door and disturb the sleeping little one, Lin Yiyi opened the door and let her in.
My cousin was not in the room and the door was locked. Tian Meihui stood in the yard in the sun, waiting, walking back and forth from time to time.
Lin Yiyi was sitting in front of the window tidying up her long hair which was about to dry. Suddenly, she had an idea and thought it was a good time to talk since there was no one around.
She got up, went to the inner room, opened the closet and put on the white T-shirt she made herself. Because it saved fabric, it fit her perfectly, showing off her waist curve and someone's love.
In the first half month of confinement, she ate light soup with small amounts of water every day, and the effect was obvious. At least she lost weight, and with the help of a corset, her figure recovered well.
Also because she doesn't need breast milk, her breasts remain the same as before, without becoming deformed, softened or moved downward.
Wearing a thin cardigan on the outside, Lin Yiyi opened the door and waved to Tian Meihui in the yard.
"The sun is getting hotter and hotter. Do you want to go into my room and wait for my cousin?"
Tian Meihui didn't expect that she would take the initiative to talk to her, let alone let her enter her room to wait for someone.
Out of curiosity and tired legs, Tian Meihui accepted the invitation into Lin Yiyi's house.
Lin Yiyi remained gentle as always and said with a smile, "Please sit down. I saw you at the gate of the family compound last year. Do you remember? I didn't expect you to be a relative."
"......"
Tian Meihui was confused. What kind of pretense was that? She had visited his house more than a dozen times, and now she knew he was a relative?
This woman is just as she thought, hypocritical!
Lin Yiyi ignored the change in her expression, tucked one side of her scattered hair behind her ear, and continued speaking with a smile.
"I just finished my confinement today, so it's convenient for me to invite you into the house to talk..."
Lin Yiyi saw her eyes fall on the photo frame of Zhao Sheng and her, and smiled more cordially, "I heard my cousin's wife talk about you. You are a teacher at Ze County Primary School. Having a job of teaching and educating people is really desirable."
Tian Meihui retracted her gaze and asked indifferently, "You don't have a job?"
The photo is really an eyesore, and they put it so big, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't be able to see it.
"Well, no, so I envy you. It's really wonderful to be able to dress neatly and go to school every day to teach the future flowers."
Lin Yiyi really envied her for being able to support herself, having a formal teaching job during this period, and living a comfortable and easy life.
Tian Meihui knew her personal situation well and wanted to mock her deliberately, but she didn't expect that she would admit it openly and even praise her.
He has some self-awareness and is not just concerned with appearance.
"You get what you pay for. I wanted to be a teacher since I was a teenager, so I am where I am today. You don't want to be a housewife for the rest of your life, do you?"
Being a parasite and relying on men for survival, Tian Meihui despises such women who have no ambition and no opinions of their own.
Lin Yiyi was confused by her ridicule. "Pay? What do you mean by pay? Graduated from high school?
Me, my cousin, and you, we all graduated from high school, but our situations are very different. "
“Your efforts are due to having good parents, so you don’t need to exchange dowry money for your brother’s marriage like your cousin did.
Your contribution is that you don’t have to go to the countryside. Your responsible brother went to the countryside on his own. Your contribution is that your father arranged a job for you.”
Lin Yiyi's eyes were full of smiles, her hands resting on her cheeks, and she spoke gently and politely, "You just happen to be lucky...so I envy you."
Someone has your back.
"you!"
Tian Meihui didn't expect her attitude to change so quickly. The poor wretch who had never seen the world just now instantly turned into a gossiper who exposed other people's secrets.
She knows Lin Yiyi's personal situation, so she naturally knows hers as well.
"It's just your bad luck that no one helps you." Tian Meihui sneered. So what even if she relies on her family?
It's better than being shameless and relying on men for support and charity.
Lin Yiyi stood up, took out the apples from the net bag on the cabinet next to her, and began to peel them slowly.
"Comrade Tian Meihui, you love your job, right? Then why do you want to destroy your own job now?"
"What do you mean?" Tian Meihui couldn't understand why she suddenly changed the subject.
"You don't understand. I thought you did. With the courage to burn your boats, you really like Zhao Sheng, right? You have a crush on him..."
Tian Meihui was hit on the heart of the matter and immediately interrupted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't make random accusations."
Lin Yiyi paused and almost peeled the fruit too thick.
“Then let me put it another way. You wanted to be in my position, but unfortunately you came too late. Timing is very important.
You are 23 years old, right? "
Seeing that she was about to reply in a hurry, Lin Yiyi hushed her voice and said, "Don't be impatient, listen to me. Let me deduce your story first. The marriageable age for women is 18.
Zhao Sheng was single for the first three years, according to your blind date with Zhao Yi.
Tian Meiling should have introduced you to Zhao Sheng, who is of similar qualifications. After all, a blind date is not about just looking at one person, but for some reason you didn't agree and didn't even meet him."
After peeling the apple, Lin Yiyi took a bite of the sweet and sour flesh, not feeling embarrassed at all for eating alone.
"How could I have known that fate would play such a trick on me. You were rescued by Zhao Sheng's partner last spring, and you fell in love with Zhao Sheng. But you missed the chance to meet him.
You have determined your life direction since you were a teenager and have stuck to it. You are a very persistent person. "
"...How do you...know it so clearly?"
Tian Meihui's heart skipped a beat. She was absolutely right.
Her cousin introduced her to Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yi in 1973 and 1974. One of them lived nearby and was a truck driver with a high salary, but he had a burden.
Zhao Yi, an ordinary soldier who lives far away and only receives a subsidy of 6 yuan per month.
At that time, she didn't agree and looked down on me. Besides, she was only 20 years old and had a stable and decent job, so there was no rush.
It was not until the Chinese New Year of 1976, when Zhao Yi became a platoon leader, that she agreed to meet him, but it didn't work out in the end.
This apple looks raw, but it tastes crispy, sweet and delicious. Lin Yiyi sucked the juice from the corner of her mouth and looked at Tian Meihui who was lost in her own emotions and continued to help her analyze.
"You are regretting it now, right? You are confused and entangled, right? On the one hand, your mind makes you sober and let it go, but on the other hand, your emotions make you impulsive and unable to let go."
"You and Zhao Sheng can actually force themselves to be together. I've thought of a way for you. You just have to choose not to have fame, not to have a job, and not to have parents.
If you are brave enough to take off all your clothes and crawl into a man's bed, you can be with him.
But I don’t know whether he will hate you for how you treat you. Let me give you a hint: Zhao Sheng has no habit of not beating women.”
Lin Yiyi had a calm expression on her face as she munched on an apple and made up a story about the inevitable outcome with great emotion.
"If anything weird happens between you and Zhao Sheng, I will definitely divorce you because I have a mysophobia.
But I don't have a job, so he has to raise the child. For the sake of the child's better living environment, I won't call the police to arrest you for being a hooligan.
But I will certainly vent my anger and spread the news of your mysterious incident everywhere."
“Once something like this happens, people are very strict with lesbians, but are more understanding with gay men.
Can you keep your job? You have connections to keep your job, but can you tolerate the gossip of your colleagues? Will the parents have no problem with the female teacher who caused such gossip? "
"......"
Tian Meihui bit her lip and didn't dare to respond. She could only listen to her. These were the consequences she had never thought about or considered.
“You will definitely lose your job. If you’re lucky, Zhao Sheng’s job won’t be affected, and you can still make ends meet.
But if you marry him, you will definitely have children. It is absolutely impossible to support two sons and a wife with one person's salary, and then raise one more child.
Three years new, three years old, and another three years of mending it, and it’ll be your future.
If I were a little more annoying, and jumped out from time to time to see my son, and came to your house to instigate my son to do bad things, tsk tsk, it would be hard to be a stepmother."
Lin Yiyi had just finished speaking when she saw the door being pushed open. It was her husband who came back!
I didn’t dare make up any more stories and could only smile and pretend to be serious.
