Chapter 78
Seventy-eight
Xie Wumei couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Fighting back tears, she rode out of school. After riding through the streets, we came to a place with few people. She couldn't hold back any longer, and got out of the car and cried while pushing the car, causing passers-by to look at her in amazement.
She knew she didn't look good. Although there are many artificial beauties now, when they take off their costumes, there are very few people who are really good-looking. However, spending money on makeup can also deceive a man's eyes. But she has to hand over all the money she earns to her family, and she has no money left to dress up. Besides, the other four women in the store on both sides are all better looking than her - Xu Xiaojuan and Hu Yuqin, needless to say; After dressing up, Zhang Aiyu is also full of charm; The proprietress Xie Dahua is also full of charm. In this environment, she had to feel inferior. A girl is most taboo when others say that she is not good-looking. But today, in middle school, someone hit her again.
Xie Wumei cried for a while, and after venting her resentment, she remembered Zhu Yushen. He is innocent of today's events. Since coming to work in the town, she has wanted to marry a middle school teacher like Hu Yuqin one day. Then live in the town, it is very convenient for two people to go to work.
But Hu Yuqin once told her that those male teachers who had just been separated and had not yet started a family were very proud, and they generally looked down on them as little tailors. Hu Yuqin herself is known as the village flower of the village because she is beautiful, has a good appearance and figure, and opened a shop, so she is matched with a teacher who is all black. Teachers' salaries have increased several times in recent years. The middle school teachers also have relatively high academic qualifications, and they can be regarded as the intellectual class in Huangzhen.
Later, Zhu Yushen looked for Hu Yuqin to protect the media and said that he wanted to talk to her. After seeing Zhu Yushen's appearance, she felt very satisfied. At the time, she thought it was really beautiful. Fate comes, and it can't be stopped. When Hu Yuqin told her all about Zhu Yushen. She wanted to be with him so badly. But the girl's inherent reserve still forced her to wait for Zhu Yushen to take the initiative to come to her. In those days of waiting. She lives like years.
Later, when Xie Dahua told her that Zhu Yushen had come to find her and sent Xue Cheng over, her hanging heart finally let go. This also moved her, so she later took the initiative to go to school, found Zhu Yushen's dormitory, and gave him the shoes that had been hooked for him. I hope he understands his heart. The talented and intelligent Zhu Yushen can certainly understand her heart. That's why the two of them developed in full swing later.
When Xie Wumei thought of this, an ambiguous current surged in her heart. She felt that since Zhu Yushen, who was both handsome and mature, treated herself like this, she must have regarded herself as his object. This is settled. No one else can interfere.
It's just that she herself may be a little worse. In short, she was embarrassed to go to Zhu Yushen in full view of everyone when she was in school like last time.
When she was tired of walking, Xie Wumei thought of riding on the bike. She stomped hard, and in a few moments she was home.
Before she could enter the house, she heard her mother cursing. In the past ten years, the three sisters have almost spent their lives in the scolding of their mothers. My mother is in her fifties. I heard that more than 20 years ago, she and her father were childhood sweethearts.
Over the years, it has become more and more difficult to make money. My father was so busy that he couldn't earn much money a year. As soon as my brother's building was built, the house was empty. Some foreign debt was also borrowed.
This is because the money that was earned and saved many years ago has been greatly depreciated and is not worth much use at all. For example, more than 20,000 yuan more than ten years ago could support a building, but now it costs at least 100,000 yuan. The area of their homestead is no longer used to build houses. The government only allowed villagers to buy land on the side of the highway and build two-and-a-half-storey buildings under unified planning.
Although my brother also works outside, my son's brother is full of style and can't save a few dollars a year. The year before last, the house was built, but the relatives who borrowed money from their family later had to build a house to do big things, forcing their family to repay the money. So in the past two years, the money earned by the family has been used to pay off debts, and the house has not had time to be renovated.
When the mother begged the matchmaker to help her brother introduce the partner, the woman's family heard that their house was still just an empty shelf, not only did not agree to the family affair, but also humiliated her family.
Seeing that my brother was about to turn 30, the neighbors were mostly ridiculing their family. It is inevitable that parents will lose their temper occasionally because they are in a hurry.
When Xie Wumei entered the house, it was already dark. The dilapidated old house was very dim, and in order to save electricity, the lights were not turned on. Mother scolded the eldest sister today. The reason is probably that the eldest sister sent money over in the afternoon, and the mother felt that the money was less, so she got angry and scolded people if she didn't use it.
Before the holiday, Xie Wumei received her salary and handed it over in full. The fourth sister is now pregnant. In the past, she was stubborn and liked to work against her mother. After pregnancy, I was afraid that quarrels and anger would affect the child in Katsuko, so I went along with it. In addition, the money given by the fourth sister should also be okay.
In fact, the conditions of both of their families are not good, basically there is no big money to give to their parents, so they can only sponsor a little money.
After seeing Fifth Sister Xie, her mother still scolded the eldest sister: "Aren't you born to me?" What's the use of giving birth to you and raising you? You're embarrassed to take out this money, and you just count on your brother to beat the singles! ”
The eldest sister leaned against the wall, and in the dark, Xie Wumei saw that she had burst into tears, but she only dared to choke softly. Speaking of which, the tragedy of the eldest sister should also be caused by the parents who dislike the poor and love the rich and are short-sighted. Like her parents when she was young, the first time the eldest sister talked to the boy with her childhood sweetheart. But because the man's family was not in good condition at the time, and his mother felt that he had missed the lesson of his life by marrying a childhood sweetheart, so he did not approve of them being together.
At this time, there was a bastard boy who fell in love with the eldest sister. The man often used money to pave the way to please his family. Later, his parents married his eldest sister to him. After the eldest sister got married, she found out that the things he had blown up before were all fake, and the superior conditions of his family were also an illusion created by him. And the eldest sister's original lover was sent because she opened a decoration shop in the town.
The eldest sister who marries a chicken and a dog can only accept her fate. But his husband also ridiculed their family for being stupid, disgusted with the poor and loving the rich, and was deceived, and deserved it! After marriage, the couple often quarreled and fought, so the grievances in the eldest sister's heart at this moment can be imagined.
The fourth sister has a rebellious personality and is the strongest of the four siblings. In view of the eldest sister's marital accident, the family watched with wide eyes when the fourth sister got married. As a result, she was married to the son of an owner who owned a wholesale store in the town. But in the past few years, business has not been good, and their old man is good at gambling, and it has been a dismal business recently.
The fourth sister was a hundred dissatisfied with the appearance and virtue of their son-in-law at that time. But she was afraid that she would be scolded if she didn't follow her parents like her eldest sister, so she married in anger. Now that her family is in decline, she has a tongue to refute her parents. So later, whenever her parents complained about her family's poverty, she said with apricot eyes: "You caused all this." "It's not like the eldest sister who endures humiliation and asks for perfection.
Xie Wumei thought about these things in the dark, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. She thought about herself and Zhu Yushen, and she didn't know what would happen to the two of them in the future. She said silently: "The Bodhisattva blesses me and my beloved Zhu Yushen to be able to marry smoothly. ”
When my father returned, he turned on the light. Subsequently, the family of four ate on a relatively poor dish.
Xie Wumei often went to Zhu Yushen to cook to improve her food during this time, and her appetite has become picky. So she found the evening dish really hard to swallow.
After eating a bowl of rice, my father asked my mother, "Do you want to buy some fish and meat for the holidays tomorrow?" ”
The mother scolded: "The money for the decoration of the son's house has not been collected yet, and he has to give the woman's family a bride price when he gets married, where does the money come from?" You can buy some dried tofu and come back. ”
Hearing these words, Xie Wumei suddenly became worried in her heart. During this time, because of the gang in Zhu Yushen, she occasionally took out some money. She has already paid Xie Dahua some money to spend. Next month's salary will be less, and if she can't hand it in as much, then her mother will definitely not let her go. Thinking of this, she quickly finished eating and hid in the room, thinking about what to do. After a while, she heard her parents arguing about the renovation of her brother's new house. When the eldest sister washed the dishes and came to the room, Fifth Sister Xie hadn't come up with a good way to make up for the loophole.
She thought that it was almost impossible to borrow from the eldest sister or the fourth sister, and she was afraid that they would say it. The stingy and rigid proprietress Xie Dahua will most likely not lend her money. The point is, even if the loophole is closed this time, what will happen in the future? You can't go to Zhu Yushen every time you don't spend a penny, and you all count on him to pay the bill, right? She knows very well that she will definitely be looked down upon by the man as a result of doing so, so it is impossible to get true love or even a good home. If you lie and say that Xie Dahua is paid less, then it will not work. Because in that case, the pungent mother will definitely not let Xie Dahua go, and the result will definitely be a goof.
When Xie Wumei was at a loss, she saw the eldest sister rummaging through the box to find something. said to the eldest sister angrily: "You are stupid, after you come back, you will lose the money, can't you leave?" Why do you spend the night at home and be scolded by your mother? ”
The eldest sister said, "How can I hide? If the family is poor, you will be angry everywhere, and it is difficult to do anything when you are poor. ”
Xie Wumei sometimes thinks about it and feels very unfair, why do the three sisters have to support the boys in the family for free? My brother has enough resources. When the eldest sister and the fourth sister got married, they only accompanied some simple furniture as a dowry, which was bought with a small amount of money from the man's bride price.
It is conceivable that she herself will definitely not be much better in the future. And Xu Xiaojuan's condition is better than herself, and her family's conditions have improved in recent years. She has only one sister under her knees, so almost all the money she earns lately can be used by herself. Xu Xiaojuan likes to buy beautiful clothes to wear. Originally, she was naturally beautiful, let alone wearing good clothes.
She sighed and said, "Well, why do some people, the better the situation, the better? (To be continued......)
