Aunt Liu, the neighbor next door to Old Zhao's family, was holding onto the wooden screen with both hands, with her face bent in the gap, not afraid of being pricked by the burrs on the stick. She asked Ge Yufeng:
"I heard those two college graduates from the Bi family are making some money now? They're teaching other people's children in the city! Eh? Don't you think they're like servants in wealthy families back in the day?"
Ge Yufeng was holding her two granddaughters, one in each hand, and glared at Old Liu's wife on the wall when she heard this.
This woman gossips about other people all day long, and is always making trouble for the thieves in the house. If Old Liu doesn't scold her for three days, she will tear off the tiles on the roof. What a lazy woman!
"Those two kids are college students. How many college students are there in our county? Of course they earn more. What's wrong with being a servant? Why are you talking so harshly? How can being a teacher make you speak politely? I don't owe your family any money! What do you care whether I earn money or not?"
The other person looked a little embarrassed, curled his lips and muttered softly, not daring to argue with the secretary's wife. "It's just being a stinking ninth grader. In the past, he should have been beaten down..."
The people of Zhaojiatun are simple and honest, but the forest is so big that there will always be a few people who are bored and like to watch the fun and make random guesses.
Hate people for having and laugh at people for not having. Human hearts are hard to grasp.
Just like Ge Yufeng, she was extremely disgusted with the Bi family, but that was all fake in her heart, and her attitude was very clear.
In addition, over the years, every time she went to work in the fields and heard Liu Yafang bowing to her politely, she felt superior.
She usually didn't feel anything, but especially recently, she felt quite relieved.
It stems from why I feel relieved, women's jealousy, no matter how old they are, they love to compare...
Over the years, the Bi family has been plagued by major and minor troubles. A few years ago, Uncle Bi was sent to prison. The old lady of the Bi family dragged her son Zhao Shugen to the town and the county to file a complaint, crying and shouting that they were wronged. Her son Zhao Shugen almost got himself into trouble.
Later, this one fell ill, that one fell ill, today there was no money, and in two months something happened to the Bi family again!
Her Zhao family was not spared from any of this. Her husband was the village secretary, and in the middle of the night, the door was knocked countless times because of the Bi family's affairs, which scared her to death.
Ge Yufeng had been telling herself all this. You can't just enjoy the glory of being the secretary's wife during the day and not get involved behind the scenes! Who in the village would obey her in the future?!
But there was one thing that increased her aversion to the Bi family. Of course, Ge Yufeng would not tell that to anyone, including her two daughters.
Women all love beauty. Last summer, her second daughter bought her a piece of clothing from the county. It was a shirt with flowers and plants on it, in red and green. She thought it was really cool!
She treated it like a treasure and was reluctant to wear it. At night, she thought of wearing it for her man to see and get a smile from him. But what happened was, not only was she not praised, but Zhao Shugen hurt her!
"Look at Tiegang's wife. She's so much younger than you, and she doesn't dress up like a shaman! She wears simple, patched clothes, and I like them. You should take them off quickly. We're from the village, working the land all day long..."
Zhao Shugen made an unintentional comparative evaluation at the time, and Ge Yufeng made a fuss for half the night. In the middle of the night, Secretary Zhao had several scratches on his neck.
From that day on, Ge Yufeng got angry whenever she saw Liu Yafang. She would make small talk to Liu Yafang, and when Liu Yafang politely thanked her, she would feel relieved!
——
Bi Yue sat in a large wooden tub, rubbing her neck with a towel, but her eyes were on her chest, and her eyebrows were furrowed in confusion.
Could it be that there is some infectious disease on the money?
Money is the dirtiest thing!
Bi Yue didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt itchy there again. She threw the towel into the basin in frustration and quickly splashed water on her chest, especially her left chest, which was extremely itchy.
While rubbing them, she complained about her two little buns, saying they were so small... If you were a little older, you would accept the trouble!
The wooden door of the side room creaked open, and Bi Yue was startled. Instinctively, she ducked down to hide in the water, her arms around her chest as she dived into the basin.
"Oh, who is it?! Taking a shower, taking a shower!" His voice became distorted, and he was so panicked that he didn't know where to hide.
Liu Yafang and Bi Yue's mother, who was extremely annoyed by Ge Yufeng, walked in with cotton cloth in one hand and soap in the other.
Even after finding out that it was her biological mother, Bi Yue felt a little embarrassed.
The embarrassed expression was to avoid Liu Yafang's eyes and scratch the mosquito bite behind the ear with her little hand:
"Ah, well...you go out, I'll take a shower and go back to the house. My dad is back?" She heard her father's loud voice, and after a good sleep for half a night, she slowly found her rhythm and regained some sense of belonging to her own home.
"Mom will give you a rub to relieve your fatigue. Your dad and the others are waiting for you to eat. If you don't eat a bite first, you'll be confused soon. You have anemia."
Liu Yafang came forward and squatted in front of Bi Yue. Her voice became lower. She put down the soap and held Bi Yue's arm with a calloused hand.
"Daughter, why are you so thin?"
Liu Yafang looked at Bi Yue sitting in the bathtub. This child must be around 90 pounds!
Carrying a bag of money home, if money was so easy to earn, would the child's father have a lame leg?
In the eyes of her mother, her daughter, who was only 1.7 meters tall, was already frighteningly thin. The result of her being even thinner was that her arms and legs looked as if they could be broken if bent.
I feel heartbroken, but I'm not good at expressing it. I can say a few words of concern to other people's children, but when it comes to my own children, nothing I say feels meaningful.
Bi Yue was a little evasive: "It has always been like this, I don't gain weight no matter what I eat. But I'm in good health!" Her face was flushed from the hot water and embarrassment.
