Space: The Delicate Wife of a Rough Man in the ’70s Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“I spent 1.5 yuan on this dress. I told him to get a piece of cloth and make it myself, but Jianguo insisted that I buy a ready-made one, saying that it looks better.”

On the ox cart, Chen Hongying had already taken out her newly bought clothes to show off five or six times. Even Aunt Liu, who loved to see new things and talk, ignored her.

Song Ruan, who was secretly counting the supplies, didn’t even bother to look at him.

Chen Hongying snorted in her heart, thinking that Song Ruan must be jealous of her, and she felt secretly happy.

After all, pork is 60 cents a pound now, and her dress can almost buy three pounds of pork. Who would be willing to spend that?

However, when she thought about the grievances she had suffered in the past few days, all because of Song Ruan, she felt indignant, so she decided to teach Song Ruan a lesson.

She glanced at Song Ruan who was still in a trance, and quickly lifted the cloth covering her bamboo basket, revealing a triumphant smile.

“Let’s see what Song Ruan bought.”

Song Ruan’s eyes suddenly turned cold as she was happily counting her spoils.

Just at this moment, a large rock ran over the left side of the wheel, throwing the people on the car to the right. When no one was paying attention, Song Ruan tripped Chen Hongying who was squatting.

Chen Hongying was thrown off the ox cart and fell to the ground with a thud. Due to inertia, she rolled forward several times and her nose hit a protruding rock with a bang.

Suddenly, my nose started bleeding.

“ah!!”

Chen Hongying screamed.

She covered her nose for a while, and when the bleeding stopped, she wiped it with her sleeve. Then she immediately picked up the new clothes that fell with her and checked them. She found that they were covered with blood and wet yellow soil.

“My clothes!”

Chen Hongying hugged her clothes and wailed.

The rest were stunned. They didn’t expect such an “accident” to happen.

The village chief stopped the ox cart immediately.

“Chen Hongying, how are you? Are you okay?”

“How can it be okay? My clothes!”

Chen Hongying’s hair was disheveled and her face was dirty at this time. She opened her eyes wide and cursed like a shrew.

“Village head, how do you drive a cart? Do you know how to drive a cart?”

Everyone originally felt sorry for her falling, but when they saw her mean look, their sympathy instantly turned into disgust.

Aunt Liu, the most gossipy woman in the village, was the first to speak up: “Riding on a bullock cart is shaky to begin with. You didn’t hold on firmly and you deserved it for falling off. And you’re blaming the village chief.”

Even Widow Li couldn’t help but speak up: “That’s right, the village chief was kind enough to take us with him so that we wouldn’t have to suffer the pain of walking. How could you talk to the village chief like that?”

Chen Hongying said bitterly: “Is it my fault that I fell down?”

Song Ruan sneered and said coldly, “Isn’t that your fault? You’ve been showing off your new clothes and touching my things without my consent. Who else should I throw at?”

Aunt Liu nodded: “I saw it too. You took out the clothes five or six times, and you even touched Little Sister Song’s things. That’s why you fell.”

The village chief was feeling somewhat guilty, but when he heard this, his expression turned cold: “Chen Hongying, why don’t you walk back by yourself? I’m not a good driver, and I’m afraid I’ll make you fall again.”

Chen Hongying finally came to her senses and was secretly annoyed at herself for being so angry and confused.

She suppressed her anger and put on her usual weak expression: “Village Chief, I, I didn’t mean that.”

As she spoke, she quickly climbed onto the ox cart, fearing that the village chief would abandon her and let her walk back by herself.

The village chief gave her a cold look and returned to the car, “Everyone, take your seats.”

After saying this, the ox cart drove away again.

This time, Chen Hongying was much more obedient.

The bamboo basket that Chen Hongying had opened had not been covered yet. Aunt Liu stretched her neck to take a look. When she saw it, her eyes widened.

“Oh my, so many white breads?”

“Yeah.” Song Ruan responded indifferently.

She thought it was too heavy, so she only put the buns in the bamboo basket and put everything else in the space.

“What’s the filling in this bun? It must be very expensive, right?” Aunt Liu swallowed her saliva. She had never eaten white bread before.

“Pork stuffing, 10 cents each.”

“One cent each! Then these ten buns must have cost you more than one dollar, right?”

“18 pieces, cost 1.8 yuan.”

Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and laughed, “Oh, Chen Hongying, it turns out that the clothes you showed off for so long are not as much as the money for Song Ruan’s meal of buns.”

Chen Hongying was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off.

At about five o’clock, they returned to the village.

As soon as the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village, a figure was seen waiting at the intersection.

Sister Liu exclaimed, her gossipy spirit ignited again: “Isn’t this Zhao Jianguo?”

When Chen Hongying saw the figure at the entrance of the village, her previous depressed mood disappeared. She held her head high, like a victorious rooster, and strode towards Zhao Jianguo.

But what Chen Hongying didn’t know was that she now looked covered in mud, her hair was disheveled, and the area around her nose was stained with dirty blood, which looked a little scary on her not-so-white face.

Zhao Jianguo, looking at Chen Hongying like this, and Song Ruan, who was walking leisurely behind her, with a glowing white body, the resentment in his heart burst out again.

But Chen Hongying was unaware of it. She stepped forward and held Zhao Jianguo’s arm, saying aggrievedly and weakly, “Brother Jianguo, they all bullied me and threw me off the ox cart. Song Ruan was jealous that you gave me money to buy new clothes. Look, my new clothes are all dirty…”

Zhao Jianguo was a little disgusted. When Chen Hongying was usually clean and tidy, she spoke softly and gently, which was quite useful to him, but what was she like now?

He was almost sick of talking to her in the state she was in now.

Seeing Song Ruan becoming more and more beautiful, she didn’t even glance at him and walked past him. He seemed to have lost his soul and went up to Song Ruan and held her back: “Wait a minute.”

Song Ruan frowned and said coldly, “Let go.”

When Zhao Jianguo heard her heartless tone, the affection that had just risen in his heart immediately turned into anger and humiliation.

What did Chen Hongying say to him just now? Song Ruan was jealous of her and soiled her clothes? He immediately had an excuse.

“Song Ruan, why did you dirty Chen Hongying’s clothes?”

Could it be that Song Ruan was jealous? Was she still obsessed with him?

So that’s why she became jealous when she saw him giving Chen Hongying money to buy clothes?

The more Zhao Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Song Ruan sneered: “Which eye of yours saw that I soiled her clothes?”

Zhao Jianguo said confidently: “It must be you, Hongying has already said it. Song Ruan, if you still like it…”

“There were so many people on the ox cart just now. Why don’t you ask others what happened?” Song Ruan interrupted him, too lazy to talk to him any more.

Aunt Liu, who was watching the show from behind, obviously heard their conversation. She quickly stepped forward and said to Zhao Jianguo, “Zhao Zhiqing, you are wrongly accusing Song Xiaomei. Chen Hongying accidentally fell off the ox cart because she was showing off her new clothes on the ox cart.”

Even the usually silent Widow Li hummed, “Yes, that’s it.”

Chen Hongying was extremely angry: “You, you guys!”

Hearing this, Zhao Jianguo was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. What did he mean by showing off his clothes and falling down? This petty person.

He was originally forced to be with her, and it was his grandmother who was coming and his aunt Chen Hongying who asked him to give her money to buy clothes.

This scene made the disgust deep in his heart burst out. Zhao Jianguo left Chen Hongying there and turned away.

Seeing this, Chen Hongying immediately followed him and said, “Brother Jianguo, wait for me.”
