Chen Jianguo was furious. If this was how they were before even entering the house, how would they manage after they got inside?
Daya remained expressionless, but at this moment she also began to look up and face them directly, wanting to see what kind of faces these two people really had.
Sister Li...facepalm, utterly mortified....
Although she also looked down on the villagers, it was clear that Teacher Chen was no ordinary person.
That's settled then, the marriage is definitely off...
Su Xia glanced at their expressions; one was flustered, the other tilted their head back, as if to say, "Look at you two, you should be secretly laughing!"
Su Xia's lips parted slightly, "Elder sister, if that's the case, then I also need to have something to say."
"What are you saying? And what are you talking about besides flowers? -- You're just a villager!" Sister-in-law Li said, pursing her lips.
Su Xia said, "The girl behind me, Chun, is the eldest grandson of the Chen family. Although she is a girl, she has never been allowed to do farm work, or even any heavy chores at home!"
Daya's eyes widened as she looked at her aunt, who was half a head taller than her. Her lips trembled, and finally, a cute little smile appeared on her face, instantly brightening her whole demeanor.
Sister-in-law Li and Sister Li across the way were also stunned...
Su Xia continued, "Moreover, her parents always made her study, and she got her job through her own exams. Her parents work a year's wages, they don't lack food, and they raise chickens and pigs in the village. Their annual income is no less than what you would earn working in the county town..."
Looking at the two disbelieving people, he asked, "What about your family? You have two full-time employees. According to the standard wage for workers, your combined monthly income is less than 60, right?"
Aunt Li glanced at Aunt Ge, then at Su Xia, a little unsure what she meant. But thinking of her family's monthly income of 62 yuan, she proudly said, "Isn't that a lot?"
Su Xia chuckled, shook her head, and sighed, "Big sister, don't forget, your family still needs to make a living. There's the cost of food, social obligations, children's schooling, and all sorts of daily necessities..."
Su Xia said one word, and Sister-in-law Li frowned once.
Finally, Su Xia asked, "How much do you think is left?"
"Oh... I forgot about food. Although there is a food supply, how can we possibly have enough to eat?"
Sister-in-law Li opened her mouth wide, unable to refute it. Every month, the family's entire monthly ration was replaced with coarse grains, but the children still didn't have enough to eat!
Su Xia scoffed, "But in the village, Chun's parents have jobs, so naturally their children also receive subsidies. Their family's private plots are more than enough to eat every year, not to mention every household raises chickens and pigs..."
He glanced at the person opposite him with disdain, "You think your family is better off than Kyongchun?"
Sister-in-law Li... was full of resentment, but Su Xia was too ruthless, blocking every step she could take, and she couldn't find any other reason.
Sister Li was also annoyed. After observing Daya closely, she realized that she hadn't thought about it before, but now she understood how a girl from a village could have a face and hands that were even whiter and more delicate than those in the county town.
Her relatives in the village were all patched up, their hands rough like wooden sticks.
Sister-in-law Li recalled Su Xia's words and finally came to the conclusion that her family was very well-off and she didn't need any support.
Sister-in-law Li breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that would make things easier for her son, and then suddenly became enthusiastic.
Su Xia was dumbfounded...
"Ouch...."
Wouldn't it be better? We parents just want our children to have a good life. Aunt Chun, when would you like our two families to get to know each other?
After speaking, he looked at Su Xia expectantly, completely oblivious to the surprise of the others.
...
At this moment, Da Ya was glad that she had gone to her aunt first, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to deal with such a shameless person.
Chen Jianguo was speechless. What was he, a grown man, doing here? "Furniture Factory - Li Wei," he thought. "Okay, I'll remember that. A man should find another man."
Sister Li was also helpless, and she pulled her sister-in-law aside.
"Sister-in-law Li, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and tell Teacher Chen, we can go see Li Wei together!"
Sister Li... "Sister-in-law, how about we reschedule? I have to go to work later." After saying that, she glanced nervously at Su Xia.
Su Xia pulled the noisy Niu Niu back without even looking at her.
Sister-in-law Li immediately became unhappy and berated her aunt, "What are you waiting for? Blind dates aren't a big deal. Isn't your nephew's lifelong happiness important?"
Sister Li...gritting her teeth, why can't you see the situation clearly, sister-in-law?
Sister-in-law Li glared at her, then went over to try and take Su Xia's hand, but she dodged it.
He didn't seem to care that "Comrade, the kids are getting older, I think we should hurry up and move on?"
Su Xia.....
"We never said we agreed!"
Sister Li... just as expected!
Sister-in-law Li was stunned; she hadn't expected this at all.
"Comrade, what do you mean?"
"So that means we didn't watch it!"
......
After a long while, Li's exasperated voice finally came through, "What do you mean? Where can you find a son like this? Doesn't he even know what kind of person he is?"
“I’m better than you no matter what. You looked down on the village at first, but as soon as you heard the conditions were good, you became a bootlicker!” Su Xia didn’t back down either.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered around, but Su Xia didn't pay any attention to it; the Chinese people's tendency to watch the excitement is something they can't change.
Sister-in-law Li was taken aback. "You mean our family's lapdog?"
Su Xia said disdainfully, "Isn't that right? What's so great about your family? The whole family is crammed into a small apartment of less than 40 square meters. You can barely turn around without getting sprayed with sweat or bumping into things."
"Going to your house means you don't need to have children, you'll immediately have a learned uncle and aunt. What girl is stupid enough to earn her own money and not spend it on herself, but give it to your whole family?"
Sister Li glanced at the people around her pointing and whispering, then immediately pulled her sister-in-law forward, wanting to leave.
Sister-in-law Li couldn't believe it. Although that's what she thought, why did she say that?
Ignoring the tugging and pulling, the woman also started shouting, "What do you mean? Everyone's like this. My family lives in an apartment building. Ask how many workers in the county live in apartment buildings!"
Su Xia handed Niu Niu to Daya, saying, "It's all ready!"
Daya "Mmm..."
Holding his youngest sister, he watched as his aunt went into overdrive.
Freed from her restraints, Su Xia put her hands on her hips and said, "What's so special about apartments? These days, people work all day long. Besides sleeping at night, are they even around during the day? Who doesn't want a good night's sleep? I bet with so many people in your family, you probably toss and turn and snore all the time. What's so great about that?"
Su Xia then looked at the crowd and immediately shouted, "Everyone, tell me, do you like this kind of room where everyone can hear you when they speak?"
Someone shouted, "I don't like it, comrade! Apartments have their advantages, but they're also... well, you know. I still prefer the old-fashioned detached houses!"
"Yeah, at first they said this was good, that was good, but in winter we still have to use a stove, and the toilet is cleaned every day, it still stinks!"
"Is that the case for you too?"
"Isn't that true? In the summer, the rooms are fine; we don't need to light the stove. But the toilets stink so badly the whole building smells."
"The toilet doesn't smell bad in winter, but with the stove burning inside, it's smoky and unpleasant!"
Sister Li, Sister-in-law Li...
Su Xia glanced at them disdainfully, "Big sister, do you still think apartments are good?"
Sister-in-law Li...
With her thin cheeks, large eyes, and big mouth, Su Xia was worried about her future grandchildren.
"Alright, let's go. Don't mention the blind date again; our family is not good enough for you!"
Su Xia said sarcastically.
Sister Li, Sister-in-law Li...
But the crowd, always eager for a spectacle, shouted, "That's right! Didn't this comrade say he couldn't possibly be of such high caliber? What's he standing there for?!"
"Pah... What's it to you?" Sister-in-law Li yelled back.
