Chapter 9

In the morning, Feng Moyan packed up and was about to go out for breakfast, and to go shopping and buy some things to mail to the countryside.

If she guessed correctly, there should be news in a few days.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a few women chattering about something at the door. Maybe they were too close and almost jumped in.

“Who are you and what are you doing at my doorstep?”

A woman with a calculating look on her face looked her up and down.

“You must be the new resident. I’m Aunt Chunhua, your next-door neighbor. I heard that a new neighbor moved in here yesterday, so I came to say hello.

Do you live here alone? Do you need someone to accompany you? I have three sons, any one of them can be a housekeeper.”

As she spoke, she looked inside. This plan was about to hit her in the face.

“No need, I’m fine living alone, and you’re in the way, auntie.”

Chunhua had her eyes on this yard a long time ago; it was neither too big nor too small, just the right size for her to find a wife for her youngest child in her family.

Someone came to clean the house the day before yesterday, and she heard good news. She heard that an orphan girl lived there, her parents had died, and she must have some pension.

What a perfect marriage, it’s just right for his mistress.

The thought in my mind came to my mind again. It is indeed a waste for an orphan girl to live in such a house. She doesn’t look like someone who can give birth to a boy. What a pity.

Feng Moyan was about to leave, but was stopped by Chunhua again. He reached out to grab her arm, but was pushed away by Feng Moyan.

I didn’t eat anything in the morning, and now my blood sugar is low and I’m in a bad mood. I keep being stared at with impatient eyes.

“Auntie, what are you doing? You are so rude. If it weren’t for your age, I would have spanked you a long time ago.”

The people around were still talking and pointing.

“What’s wrong with you, girl? You have no manners at all. Chunhua’s third son is such a good boy, a perfect match for you. Don’t be ungrateful.”

“Yes, Chunhua’s third child graduated from high school. I heard he will be working in a factory soon. That’s a stable job. Everyone in this alley praises him.”

“If you miss this one, you will never have it again. You must cherish it, little girl.”

Feng Moyan looked at the chatterboxes around him with murderous eyes: “Auntie, before you plot against me, you should ask around. Although I am an orphan, I have someone above me.

My parents are both martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. Before I came of age, I was supported by the state. This house is taken care of by the state. Do you dare to do anything about it?”

“I’m putting this out there. If there’s any problem with my house, I’ll come to you guys. Remember that.”

People around her could hear the coldness in her voice and knew that she was an orphan, but they didn’t expect that she was the descendant of a martyr.

Who dares to offend them in this era? They are all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and even leaders will look up to them.

Feng Moyan didn’t care about their stares at all and rode away on her ladies’ bicycle.

“Chunhua, didn’t you say that this girl is in love with your son and that this daughter-in-law is basically confirmed and is just waiting to move in? Otherwise, why would we be chatting with you here?

It turns out you don’t even know the other person’s identity, you are really good at bragging.”

“That’s right. Look at her status. She’s obviously from a good family. How could she fall for your arrogant son? There’s also a useless girl in the family. Who would want to marry her and suffer humiliation?”

People like Chunhua have some people flattering her, but naturally there are also people who look down on her behavior.

Chunhua’s face is like the autumn weather, with a huge temperature difference between morning and evening, and a riot of color, as if she can’t wait to fight with someone in the next second.

“A money-loser who doesn’t even look down on our family, she’s better off than me.”

“She’s just an orphan. It’s a shame to marry her. She’s a short-lived creature.”

Chunhua can be said to be the bully of this alley. She moved here in recent years and is hated by everyone and no one can afford to offend her because she has connections with the Revolutionary Committee.

I heard that her daughter recently became the director of the Revolutionary Committee. She is so arrogant and looks down on everyone she sees. Otherwise, she would not have targeted Feng Moyan.

Feng Moyan had already walked away. It was the first time for him to dine in a restaurant of this era, and the atmosphere was very worldly.

She finally got a seat in line and looked at the salesperson in front of her: “Hello, sister, please help me get ten meat buns, ten vegetarian buns, ten meat patties, and ten fried dough sticks. I want to take them away. How much are they?”

Wow, her extravagant spending has attracted a lot of attention. In this era, if someone eats so much in one meal, he or she is considered a wealthy person.

The salesperson was surprised and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and said, “Little sister, can you finish it? We can’t waste it.”

Feng Moyan knew the benefits of this face and smiled appropriately: “Sister, I bought this for my brother. He is going to the countryside soon. I was afraid he would be hungry, so I bought more.”

People around me were full of praise, and the atmosphere immediately changed.

In this day and age, a single word can kill someone, so be careful.

“Meat buns are 2 cents each, vegetarian buns are 1 cent each, fried dough sticks are 1 cent each, and meat pie is 3 cents each. In total, I’ll charge you 3 jin of food coupons. Don’t tell the people behind you.”

Feng Moyan nodded repeatedly. As far as she could remember, one bun should cost one or two grain coupons, but the salesperson charged her less.

In fact, she also remembered that if she had more food coupons, she would have to pay less, and if she paid more, she would have fewer food coupons.

It all depends on whether you have the face to operate, and it is not set in stone. There is never a shortage of people who control the rules in this world.

We walked into an alley, left two meat buns and a meat pie, and placed the rest in the space. The place was indeed filled with the aroma of meat.

Nowadays, all pigs are domesticated, but there are no feed pigs or fattening pigs, and they are very delicious.

Many passers-by looked at her, wondering whose girl was so ignorant that she even ate meat. It was terrible.

Most old women keep nagging. In their eyes, women have no other role except to carry on the family line and serve the masters.

Even in a place like Kyoto, old ideas are growing and spreading.

Standing in front of the three-story store, she wiped her hands and walked in. The receipts in her bag would be useless if they were not used, since she had to buy things anyway.

The salesperson saw her, who was wearing expensive clothes. The watch was in the cupboard and you couldn’t get it without two hundred yuan, not to mention that you needed a watch ticket.

“Hello comrade, if you need anything, please take a look.”

“We have new ones here, and they are most suitable for young girls.”

Nowadays, being a salesperson has a stable job, and it is a position that everyone is vying for. If anyone becomes a salesperson, it is a job that everyone envies.

“Hello, sister. I’m going to the countryside soon. I need something. Can you get me one?”

Sister Qi, who was standing at the counter, had a gentle look on her face. “Sure, there are too many children going to the countryside recently. I know what they need, but isn’t your family here with you?”

Feng Moyan lowered his head, his voice a little cold: “My parents just died, and I am the only one in my family.”
