Chapter 69

Gu Benhuai also roared, “Feng Shuwen, you think you’re great just because you have a loud voice? Watch your words. What do you mean I also like my sister-in-law? Don’t assume everyone has a dirty mind like you.”

“Thankfully, we’re about to move out. We won’t be living with you guys anymore. Otherwise, we’d probably live a few years less. You can’t do your work properly, and you have to pry into other people’s business.”

Feng Shuwen said, “Then move out now. Don’t act so cool, like everyone can’t build a house. When you finish building yours, I’ll build one next to you and make you mad.”

No one paid attention to Feng Shuwen. They treated her like a crazy person. This little miss was hopeless. She had no social skills. She could argue with anyone and never held back her tongue.

Oh, the others heard Gu Benhuai say this, and they realized that he was already building a house. Once he finished, he would move out. They were envious.

They also wanted to move out and not live in the educated youth center, but they didn’t have the money to build a house. They had younger brothers and sisters to support, and their parents told them to send some grain back home. There were too many people in their family, and they didn’t have enough food. How could they afford to build such a good house here?

They could only be envious. If they dared to spend money so freely, their parents would come and break their legs.

Sigh, the more they thought about it, the angrier they got. It was getting late. They should wash up and go to sleep. They had to work tomorrow. If they didn’t work, they wouldn’t even have enough to eat.

Xia Yunxuan sparred with Duan Yue in her space for a few hours before taking a bath and washing her hair. After drying her hair, she went to sleep. She slept very well that night. She didn’t dream and slept soundly until the alarm clock woke her up to make breakfast.

She cooked some porridge, stir-fried some potato strips, had some pickled vegetables, and steamed a few big buns for each person. That was enough.

She dared to say that her meals were the envy of the village again. Who wouldn’t want to eat meat buns? Especially those children. They would definitely cry with envy when they smelled the meat.

When Xia Yunxuan finished breakfast, Xiao Yichen and Gu Benhuai arrived. Gu Benhuai said from outside, “Sister-in-law, I can smell the meat buns.”

Xiao Yichen replied, “Are you a dog? You have a nose for it.”

“Big brother, you can’t go a day without teasing me, can you?” Gu Benhuai said.

Xiao Yichen said, “What are brothers for? They’re for bullying and protecting. Otherwise, what are brothers for?”

Gu Benhuai was so angry he almost had a heart attack. “Sister-in-law, you have to control Big Brother. What kind of words are those?”

“Are you still a baby? You always run to your sister-in-law when you have something to do. Why don’t you call her ‘Mom’ and see if she’ll give you a red envelope?” Xiao Yichen said.

Pfft, Xia Yunxuan burst out laughing. “Big son, do you want a red envelope? I’ll give you a big one. Call me ‘Mom’ and let me hear it.”

Gu Benhuai was speechless. “Sister-in-law, why are you messing around with Big Brother? It’s true what they say, birds of a feather flock together. It seems like I have another person to bully me now.”

Xiao Yichen kicked him and said, “Stop fooling around. Go get breakfast. Do you want your sister-in-law to feed you? I don’t even get that kind of treatment. Don’t you want to live a long life?”

“Sigh, I’m such a pitiful person. I have no human rights. Since Big Brother got a sister-in-law, I’m practically useless. He only remembers me when he needs me to be a shield. I’m so pathetic.”

The three of them chatted while eating breakfast. Xiao Yichen said, “You need to take some acting classes. Your acting is so bad. It’s painful to watch. You need to learn from the people in the village how to act innocent and pure.”

“Look at them. They’re always so righteous and stubborn. They never admit they’re wrong. They think everything good belongs to them. You need to learn that spirit.”

Even though they were chatting while eating breakfast, they all ate quickly. Gu Benhuai, of course, was the one who washed the dishes.

After washing the dishes and cleaning up, they went to the brigade headquarters to wait for the captain to assign tasks and hold a meeting.

Before the captain arrived, they were met by the shameless people from the Xia family.

“Xia Yunxuan, come here!” Old Lady He shouted at the top of her lungs.

Xia Yunxuan and Xiao Yichen exchanged a glance. They knew what was coming. These two were probably here to cause trouble.

“What are you yelling about so early in the morning, Auntie?” The captain arrived and said impatiently.

“Look at this little vixen. She’s got money now and doesn’t care about her parents or grandparents. Even though she disowned them, blood is thicker than water. She’s still part of the Xia family. What should we do about this?” Old Lady He said aggressively.

“Yesterday, that little vixen bought a car, a watch, and so much food. Her grandparents and parents can’t even afford porridge. She’s so heartless. After all, we raised her. What’s the big deal? We just asked her to do some work. How can you say we were mistreating her? Every child in every family works.”

Old Lady He used the same method. She sat on the ground and cried and wailed. This time, she really shed tears. She cried and said, “My life is so hard, old woman.”

Gao Meihua also said, “Daughter, it was Mother’s fault before. Please forgive Mother, okay? After all, you’re the flesh and blood that came out of my womb. How could I not love you? I was just trying to teach you a lesson because you were always fighting with your sister over things. I didn’t expect you to remember it for so long. Now that you’re older and have the ability, you actually hate us.”

“You secretly found a boyfriend and didn’t tell your family. Mother was just worried about you. He’s from the capital. How could he like us rural people? What if he just plays with you and then leaves you? What if you get pregnant? Who will you go to then?”

Gao Meihua also wiped away tears as she spoke. The people around heard what Gao Meihua said and were very moved. They said, “Yes, Girl Yun, you’re still part of the Xia family. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

“Just take something and go apologize to your grandparents and parents. They’ll definitely forgive you. It’s good to be a family again, isn’t it?”

“What your mother said is right. We’re rural people. Don’t be too ambitious. It’s best to find a young man from the village to marry. It’s not easy to get married in the city.”

“Alright, alright, stop it!” The captain stood up and stopped them. “If you have a problem, talk about it properly. Don’t make a fool of yourselves here!”
