Chapter 329: Don’t Advise Others Before They Have Suffered
“Hello, everyone. I’m Lin Wanxia. I’m sorry to take up your time to talk about my own private affairs.”
Lin Wanxia inexplicably remembered that in the era of data traffic, what she should say is: “I’m sorry to take up public resources.”
“First of all, I have received everyone’s thanks. It’s not easy for us fishermen to make a little money, so you should keep it in your own hands, and at least you shouldn’t give it back to people who have nothing to do with it.”
The broadcasting of the fishing village is in the village committee office, and the loudspeaker is also there.
There is a telephone pole in the village committee compound, which is taller than any house in the village.
There are two loudspeakers on the top of this telephone pole.
On weekdays, any important notices in the village are broadcast to the whole village through these two loudspeakers.
People who live close to the village committee compound can hear it clearly without leaving their homes, but people who live on the outskirts of the village have a hard time hearing it. They can only vaguely hear the loudspeakers in the village, but they don't know what is being said on the loudspeakers.
They have to walk out of their homes and gather in the center of the village, asking other families while gathering.
"His aunt, did you hear what was said on the loudspeaker?"
"I didn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to be Xia Xia's voice."
"Yes, I heard it was Xia Xia talking too, so I came out to listen to what was going on."
The fishermen gathered from the four corners of the fishing village, east, south, west and north, towards the center.
More and more people gathered along the way, and gradually they could hear the words on the loudspeakers clearly.
"I don't mean to be rude to you by not accepting your things. It's just that if you count them all, you have helped me more."
"When I was a kid, I fainted on the road due to hunger. It was Uncle Zhang who carried me to the village clinic."
"When I was nine years old, I got big neck disease. Auntie Sun next door gave me medicine to take."
The big neck disease that Lin Wanxia was talking about was actually mumps. Children who get it generally have enlarged lymph nodes, just like big necks.
This thing is contagious. Half of the children in the village have it. When Lin Wanxia got it, Lin Yaoyao hadn't gotten it yet, so Zhu Qiaoyun didn't allow her to go home, and of course she wouldn't pay for her medical treatment.
It happened that Auntie Sun's little daughter also got mumps and there was some medicine left at home, so she gave it to Lin Wanxia.
"When I was twelve years old, I had frostbite, and it was the eldest brother of the Li family who stole the white wine from Grandpa Li to burn my frostbite."
"..."
Lin Wanxia recounted in detail all the favors she had received since she was a child.
Most of the people in the village have helped Lin Wanxia to some extent.
The villagers felt very complicated when they heard it.
They didn't expect that Lin Wanxia remembered everything.
At that time, most of the people in the fishing village were not rich, and their family conditions were limited. Those who could help Lin Wanxia were just
a piece of cake. And what Lin Wanxia has brought to the fishing village in the past few years, if only the economic value is counted, has already been repaid a hundred times and a thousand times.
"What a good kid! People who know how to be grateful can never go wrong." "Who said it was
n't? If my little ungrateful kid were half as good as Xia Xia, my life would be worth it." "But, what does Xia Xia mean by saying this suddenly? Are you not going back to the fishing village in the future?" Everyone looked at each other and ran to the village committee compound faster. Ever since Lin Wanxia moved out of the fishing village, the villagers have been very uneasy. Will Lin Wanxia just ignore them in the future? ! Lin Wanxia counted all the kindness the villagers had shown her, and then changed the subject, "But, as my mother, Miss Song Shuyun left when I was eight years old. During the ten-year separation, she didn't care about me at all and didn't even write to me. Now she suddenly appears. I ask everyone, why should I accept her?" The villagers of the fishing village stopped and looked at each other. "Xia Xia, what do you mean?" "You don't want to recognize Song Shuyun." "You don't need to say it in a loud voice if you don't recognize her!" "I guess it's because many people send food and drink to Song Shuyun?!" "But, after all, she was born by you, so Xia Xia can't really ignore Song Shuyun, right?" "That's right, she remembers every little kindness we have shown her. After all, Song Shuyun gave birth to her and raised her for eight years." "Oh! It's useless for us to say anything. Let's listen to what Xia Xia has to say!" Lin Wanxia paused before continuing, "Besides, this is a matter between me and Miss Song Shuyun. Even if raising her is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with you all. I hope that everyone will stop feeding Miss Song Shuyun. At least don't send her things because of me." After hearing this, the villagers finally confirmed that Lin Wanxia just didn't want everyone to send warmth to Song Shuyun. A villager joked to his neighbor: "Look, you're flattering the horse." "You're the one flattering. You don't know unless you raise fish. Now the fish and shrimp are about to go out to sea. If they're blown away, I'll have worked for nothing for three to five years. If I don't thank her, who should I thank? Xia Xia is kind-hearted and she's just annoyed with Song Shuyun. How can mother and daughter have a grudge?" "Tsk! You're not the one who was abandoned when you were young, so you can easily say that mother and daughter don't have a grudge." "Yes, don't advise others to be kind until you've experienced their suffering." "Lin Wanxia is not a traditional girl. It's true that she will repay a favor, but she will also take revenge if she has a grudge. Even her own mother can't help her. In my opinion, it's better for everyone to ignore Song Shuyun in the future." "I agree. She made it very clear that it's the mother and daughter's business, so other people shouldn't get involved." "That's right. We worked hard to save the money and gave it to Song Shuyun, but she not only didn't appreciate it but also blamed us for being nosy. Isn't that stealing the chicken but losing the rice?" "You don't understand, don't use nonsense words. Is that a good word? At most, we mean well but end up doing something bad." "Anyway, just don't worry about it! Anyway, the favor belongs to Xia Xia, and we are still with Xia Xia. She doesn't need us now, but she may need us in the future." "In my opinion, do you think it's too much for her to treat her own mother like this?" "Then do you think it's too much for her to pray for everyone to stop the rain and wind?" "That's right. Where did your family get the money to build a brick and tile house? Whether you are used to it or not, don't overturn the table after putting down your rice bowl." "..." When everyone was talking about arriving at the village committee compound, Lin Wanxia had already left after saying what she wanted to say.
When she returned to the courtyard where she had lived, the bamboo baskets on the gate had disappeared.
Only Song Shuyun was left standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing Lin Wanxia coming, Song Shuyun smiled, "I knew you would come back. Come in and sit down?"
Lin Wanxia came to solve the problem between the two of them, so she followed Song Shuyun back to the room.
These rooms were emptied by Zhu Qiaoyun when the family was divided, and now they were emptied again by Lin Wanxia.
Of course, Lin Wanxia was not as wicked as Zhu Qiaoyun, and at least left some furniture for Song Shuyun.
But it did not include beds, tables and chairs.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a thick layer of firewood in the corner, and on top of it was a bed sheet that I didn't know where I picked up.
Song Shuyun pointed at two bricks stacked on the ground and said, "If you don't mind, sit down!"
Lin Wanxia didn't sit down, not because she didn't mind. She would be uncontrollably anxious if she was in the same space with Song Shuyun.
This strong emotion belongs to this body.
