Chapter 17: Cousin

"Yo, isn't this our family's big intellectual Cousin Mo, why did she lose so much weight all of a sudden? It can't be that you are too poor to sell blood, right? A woman's snarky voice came from afar.

Molly, who was swiping the card and handing the ticket to the salesman, raised her head, and her mood immediately deteriorated, the woman who was coming over was called Zhang Yumei, two years older than her, and the daughter of Molly's little aunt. I don't know what's going on, I've been at odds with her since I was a child. When I was a child, I kicked you in the back and secretly tore up your textbooks, but Molly is not easy to mess with, and she doubles it every time.

In fact, Molly is very wronged, she has been studying very well since she was a child, and she is diligent, all the work at home is done by Molly, and her grades are still in the top few in the class, but Zhang Yumei is different, she is the first from the bottom in every exam, she was originally two grades higher than Molly, and then she was in the same class with Molly after staying for two levels, and now the strong little aunt scolded every day: "You said that your pig brain is not like me at all, you look at your cousin, she is younger than you, she eats worse than you, she does more work than you, and she has 100 points in the exam, what about you, only seven or eight points, It's really my brand! Don't say it's my ** Jane's daughter when you go out! "**Jane is the name of the little aunt, Molly's mother is called Huang Meizhen, and there is a big aunt named Huang Aizhen.

The little aunt is very competitive, she is the best married among the three sisters, and her life is the most comfortable, and the worst is naturally Molly's mother Huang Meizhen, which has always made the little aunt feel very proud in front of her second sister (Molly's mother), but she didn't expect to give birth to a daughter who made her lose face, but she was angry. Zhang Yumei has heard a lot of scolding from her mother since she was a child, especially the words "can't compare to her cousin Molly" said by her mother, which made her hate Molly, and later Molly was admitted to university and became an intellectual, and she dropped out of junior high school and went to a garment factory to become a female worker after staying for two more levels. Why is your family so poor that you can still go to college, but I have to go to work as a foreign car.

But this deep hatred dissipated after she and Molly got married, Zhang Yumei because of her appearance in the village is not bad, married to a young man in the same factory, her husband is very capable, the family also has a little money, not long after the marriage resigned and bought a few cloth machines at home to open a small processing factory, the business is not bad, can earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 all year round, go out and don't see it will call the boss lady, and Molly, but divorced, and with a drag oil bottle.

Now Zhang Yumei raised her eyebrows, what's so great about college students? It's not as good as me as a junior high school student now! No matter how much you read, what's the use of a man who can't hold it? Don't let the man take a break! I also brought a small oil bottle, and I lived on that dead salary every month, and I couldn't eat! This is what her second aunt said herself, in fact, her cousin's life is really bad, she has not been treated by her parents since she was a child, compared to her sister, the treatment is the difference between heaven and earth, if it weren't for Molly's unique front teeth of the Huang family, she would have to suspect that Molly didn't come out of her second aunt's belly?

With the mentality that I am happy to see that you are not doing well, every year the relatives of the family gather in the countryside for the Chinese New Year, and see the depressed appearance of their cousin, Zhang Yumei's depression that has been held in her heart for so many years will disappear, based on this, the relationship between the two of them in recent years has been unprecedentedly harmonious! I can't wait to celebrate the New Year every day, and see a lot of Molly's downfall.

Zhang Yumei was wearing a freshly made cyan cashmere coat, the coat was quite good-looking, but Zhang Yumei's complexion was dull and her figure was too thin to support the coat. In recent years, it has been popular to go to the door decoration store to make clothes, and the mainstream of customers is generally the small proprietress who earns hundreds of thousands of dollars in those years, and it feels distressing to buy tens of thousands of clothes in the shopping mall, and it seems that there is no grade to buy hundreds of miscellaneous clothes, and the most important thing is that many women who have children are out of shape, and they can't buy clothes that fit at all, so they were born in the middle of the price store, the price is much cheaper than the famous brand, and it is a little more expensive than the miscellaneous brand, but the material is better than the miscellaneous brand, and it can also be tailor-made. It is sought after by many married women. But Molly doesn't like this kind of clothes in the door-to-door store, and always thinks that the style is not as good as the clothes bought.

Today, Zhang Yumei came to the mall to pick up jewelry, her birthday is coming soon, and it took her more than half a year to persuade her husband to come up with 10,000 yuan to buy jewelry as a birthday gift, and it is good to show off in front of relatives and friends! Zhang Yumei's husband's surname is Liu Mugen, hard-working, no prostitution, no gambling, no smoking, no drinking, no picky food or clothing, he is simply a model good man, but he is not very good at all, a little stingy, not only stingy with relatives and friends, but also reluctant to spend money on his family members.

Speaking of a joke, when Zhang Yumei first got married, she didn't know Liu Mugen's temperament, and after eating at night, she poured the green vegetable bowl with only a few leaves left into the chicken trough, and when she had breakfast the next day, Liu Mugen asked her: "Why don't you make sprinkled rice (sprinkled rice is in the local dialect, in fact, it is vegetable pickled rice, pour the leftover vegetable soup and leftovers the next morning and add some water to boil)?" Zhang Yumei was stunned, and Liu Mugen asked again, "What about the leftover vegetables last night?" You can't make rice! ”

Now Zhang Yumei was dumbfounded, just those few vegetable leaves are not enough to feed the chickens! How else do you make rice? For this bowl of leftovers, Zhang Yumei's husband read her for a month, and since then, Zhang Yumei has been so careful that she doesn't dare to pour even the leftovers with only a piece of green onion! These things were said by Molly's hometown and Zhang Yumei when they married a girl from a village and returned to their parents' home, and they have become a joke in the village! Every time I see Zhang Yumei, I have to ask: "Yumei, what did you eat this morning?" And Zhang Yumei, who doesn't know why, will answer honestly, "Yes, how do you know?" Then there was a burst of laughter.

Zhang Yumei was in a good mood with 10,000 yuan in her pocket, but she was in a better mood after seeing Molly! But when she got closer and saw Molly's appearance clearly, she was dumbfounded! Isn't it time to see an old-looking, emaciated woman? Who is this young and beautiful woman in front of you, who is so fashionably dressed? Although Zhang Yumei didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that her cousin Mo had indeed changed a lot, and she was even better looking than when she was a girl before! Looking at the jewelry she asked the salesperson to wrap up, Zhang Yumei's jealousy that had died down for many years was burning again!

"Cousin, where did you get rich? What about your front teeth? It's not going to South Korea for plastic surgery, right? I don't even recognize it! Zhang Yumei asked through gritted front teeth.

"What does it have to do with you whether I get rich or not! I didn't see you come to tell me when you were rich! Besides, if I go to South Korea to fix it, why do you recognize me from afar! Molly looked back unceremoniously, she didn't want to be polite to this cousin at all.

Zhang Yumei was choked back, her face changed, and she didn't give up and said, "What kind of jewelry are you buying?" You don't know that my Mugen said that my birthday is coming, so I have to give me 10,000 yuan to buy a gold necklace to wear! ”

Is this a show that he has a husband who can make money, but what's the use of making more money, and other people's money won't let you take care of it (the old family knows that Zhang Yumei's husband is very tight about money, and Zhang Yumei doesn't have the right to use money at home), Molly is not angry, and Zhang Yumei has been fighting for so many years, and she is no longer angry, "That's really good, but how long did it take him to take out this 10,000 yuan after you pestered your family's wood root this time?" ”

"More than half a year!" Zhang Yumei replied casually, and then came back to her senses, "Our Mugen is very generous, why don't I tell him, when he saw that my birthday was coming, he took the initiative to take out 10,000 yuan to buy me a necklace!" ”

"Poof!" The little girl on the side smiled, this sister-in-law is really funny, she must fight with this beauty, the two are obviously not at the same level, it's really overwhelming!

Zhang Yumei glared at the little girl fiercely, and she reached out to take the jewelry that Molly had put in the bag to see what it was. Where did this cousin get rich? I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and I have become so good-looking all of a sudden, and I have earned a lot of money, or I can't afford to buy things in this mall, I don't come here much, and the things in it are all expensive, and the pocket money that Mugen gave himself is not enough to come here once. Zhang Yumei is very dissatisfied with her husband's only giving 500 yuan of pocket money every month, and her new coat is still saved for three months to make it, but no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't help it, who makes the family's money earned by her husband!
