CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 90: GOING TO WORK (TWO CHAPTERS COMBINED) (PART 2)

"Why go to the Zhou Family, they’re not those who bully others, just like us common folks. They don’t look down on us villagers like city people do. Jiao Jiao’s grandpa, such a big shot, wow, has a lot to chat about with my father-in-law. Her grandma also helps us in the kitchen.

Unlike those who put on airs and look down on people as if they’re superior. They’re really nice to our Xiao Wu, the old man grins when he sees him. He came here for a meeting and said he’d take Xiao Wu to visit his old friends, took Xiao Wu with him yesterday. Xi Zi came back from the provincial city with Xiao Wu’s mother-in-law today. Xiao Wu will be with the old man in the military for a few days." Lin Juhua enjoyed seeing others’ envious looks.

Ye Zi looked around and lowered her voice to ask quietly, "That Xiao Wu won’t end up joining the military, will he? Your Xiao Wu is really lucky, last year he didn’t go, the village said it was a pity, now he has another chance to go, right? With Jiao Jiao’s grandpa there, no one in the military would dare bully him. But Juhua, what about going back to Beijing with her husband?"

Lin Juhua gave her a look to put down the hoe and squat down to pull weeds, whispering, "Of course they did, they’re here to celebrate their child’s first month before going back to Beijing.

Jiao Jiao already has a big yard in Beijing, her household registration is in Beijing. This time I found out her mom bought her a house when she was born. Xiao Wu says he doesn’t want to go to Beijing just yet, he’ll wait a few years, he can’t leave his hometown, who knows what he’s thinking. If it were us, we’d definitely go back; being a Capital City Person is great, but we didn’t say much. Let them do what they want, maybe they have their own ideas.

Xiao Wu won’t join the military, he would’ve gone last time if he wanted to. I heard it myself, his grandpa regrets it, saying Xiao Wu’s strong and suitable for that life. Isn’t it perfect timing with the old man here for a meeting? This time, the old man took him to meet his old friends, old subordinates,

people really can’t be compared. I never imagined Jiao Jiao’s mom would dot on her like that, you should see, those two whispering to each other, so affectionate, I always thought her mom didn’t really care for her."

Ye Zi sighed, "We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, they say everyone’s equal, but when I go to the city, city people still look down on us. Don’t talk about this, someone might hear and cause trouble. Jiao Jiao really made it through, but how did she get so impressive?

Now the village women all say your family has two tigresses, your older sister married back to the city, now Jiao Jiao married into your family, who would dare offend you? They dealt with quite a few people, the village leader of Zhou Family Village is still detained, his family is looking around for help, but they don’t dare come to your house, probably because of Jiao Jiao’s grandpa."

Lin Juhua burst into a chuckle and whispered, "What’s impressive about that, Jiao Jiao’s very gentle, it’s just being scolded to her face got her mad, otherwise with her temperament, she’d never dig up old scores. They’re not afraid to offend us, our family doesn’t act unreasonably. My in-laws aren’t like that either."

Ye Zi rolled her eyes and nudged her with her shoulder, winking at her, "Do you have a guilty conscience saying that? We all know each other, your in-laws are kind people, that’s true, but is your sister-in-law really that gentle? Those village women gossip that cultured people are so different, no wonder those with a knack for writing can kill with words and pens without allowing complaints, directly labeling you guilty.

They all say your sister-in-law can’t even compare to your brother’s wife. They used to say Jiao Jiao looked sickly and had no strength for work, if not for her family’s support, she’d starve compared to the village wives. Now they’re all slapping their own faces.

I guess it’s your Xiao Wu who got lucky, someone like her wouldn’t stay in the village for long, so slick with words. Everyone now admits they misjudged her.

Meili hasn’t been to work these past two days, did you know? She said the situation has blown up too much, she’s embarrassed to face you, if not for her quick mouth that woman wouldn’t have caused trouble for your family. But I see she’s secretly pleased, finally getting revenge after all these years."

Lin Juhua saw the team leader uncle approaching from afar and quickly replied, "Haha, what’s there to feel guilty about. After work, I’ll go see Meili, it’s not her fault, can I blame her? I said something, and people talked about it, it’s not like they made things up. The team leader’s coming, let’s stop talking." The two of them quickly parted, bent over to pull weeds, they seemed to have done this together countless times.
