Chapter 311

When she was upset, the mason's wife stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster.

He stood in front of her hesitantly, looking very sorry for her. Zhong Ruyi was almost sickened by his shamelessness.

"...Ruyi, don't look at me like that. I just happened to pass by and say hello to you."

Perhaps the expression on her face was really too impatient, the mason's wife forced a smile and spoke stutteringly.

Zhong Ruyi's patience ran out. She stared at the haggard woman in front of her and said word by word, "My cooperation with your family has ended a long time ago. Please don't come to my house again. This has had a great impact on me."

Why did you go early?

What about greed?

This is not the expression you showed when a jar that cost two cents rose to ten cents!

"Cousin, hurry up!" She pulled Zhang Mingzhu and walked away quickly, not paying any attention to the distraught mason's wife.

She didn't notice that after she left, the look on the mason's wife's face changed from despair to resentment.

Although her family members didn't say anything in the past few months, they were obviously not as friendly to her as before, and they said some insulting things to her, both overtly and covertly.

Especially her husband, he has become much colder towards her and doesn't speak to her as affectionately as before.

But he also agreed to the price increase, right?

It was he who complained while working that he had to make so many jars, but only made two cents for each one, which was not as valuable as selling a can of food.

Although the younger son didn't say anything, he also had some complaints about her not being able to arrange the marriage. Otherwise, the girls he found later all had requirements that were exactly the same as Zhong Ruyi's.

She has to be good-looking and good at business, and she has to be the only daughter in the family. Doesn't this fit her type?

The eldest daughter-in-law also speaks in a sarcastic tone at home every day. Sometimes she says, "There is not much money at home. Let's cook less rice. Anyway, we won't starve to death." "This year's New Year is really bad. My father-in-law and Yaozu don't earn much, so we won't buy meat for the New Year."

Who doesn’t buy meat during the Chinese New Year? Even the poorest family in the village would buy two kilograms of meat for the Chinese New Year.

Isn't this just to annoy her?

She dreams every night about the day when she said she would raise the prices. She wonders how great it would have been if she had not said that.

With several thousand jars a month, and each jar costing two cents, the income could be nearly eight or nine taels.

I would never have dared to think of this before!

Zhang Mingzhu turned to look at the woman, then looked at her angry cousin, and asked cautiously, "Ruyi, where was I just now?"

"You said that your cousin Mingzhen went back to her parents' home, and your brother asked your brother-in-law for money."

"Yes, that's what he said." She continued, "He said it in front of all of us. My brother-in-law looked very embarrassed, and in the end it was my mother who scolded my brother a few words before he let it go."

Zhang Mingzhu looked confused. "Does he think others are rich fools?"

Her mother also asked her brother-in-law to be more patient, saying that her brother was still young and didn't understand much.

But is there anyone in the family who is still ignorant at the age of 30?

Even if there is, they are not your parents, so why should they tolerate you?

Whoever gives birth should tolerate it.

When talking about her family, Zhang Mingzhu kept on talking, "Ruyi, do you know? My grandma said she would find a good family for me to marry, and the betrothal gift would be used to pay off my brother's gambling debts."

I have to say that she felt very complicated when she heard this.

Grandma was not very kind to her and Mingzhen, but such a blatant plan was still frightening.

Zhong Ruyi turned her head to look at her, and was not surprised to see the difficult expression on her face.

Isn’t it the same for all members of the Zhang family?

The same goes for Zhong Mei, who married into the family.

In order to marry Zhang Dao, she even stole her mother's medical money to please her in-laws. This person is useless.

The Zhang family is not much better off.

She didn't know Zhang Mingzhen, who was already married. She only knew Zhang Mingzhu, who was very vain but not very smart, and had a kind of cleverness that came off as silly.

The others are either bad or stupid, there is nothing to say.

In the workshop, Zhong Ruyi just went in and looked around, but didn't see her sister-in-law.

"Auntie Tian, ​​didn't my sister-in-law go to work today?"

"No, she asked for leave today because of something." Aunt Tian was busy washing the peppers she had just harvested, and answered without even raising her head.

asked for leave.

Zhong Ruyi could only go home.

In the yard of the Zhong family, Shitou and Xiaohe were sitting on stools with red eyes. One of Shitou's hands was wrapped in gauze with herbal medicine applied inside.

Seeing their aunt coming back, the two of them called for help.

Li Guihua and Liu Yu Niang looked unhappy. When they saw her come back, they greeted her reluctantly twice and sat down without saying anything. The atmosphere was a little tense.

Don't know what happened.

She asked Zhang Mingzhu, who had returned home before reaching the workshop.

Zhang Mingzhu also had a bewildered look on her face. Her two cousins-in-law had had this expression on their faces since she came back, and she didn't know what had happened.

Could it be that there was some conflict between the sisters-in-law?

But today is a school day, why don’t Shitou and Xiaohe go to the private school and stay at home?

Shitou's hand was still bandaged, so Zhong Ruyi asked him directly, "Shitou, did you fight with someone in the private school? What happened to your hand?"

Before he could speak, the angry Li Guihua told the story first.

It turned out that another teacher knew about the Chen family taking Xiaoman to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts to Master Zhou during the Chinese New Year. There were more than a dozen students in Master Zhou's class, and those who lived nearby went to pay him New Year's greetings, and those with better family conditions brought some gifts.

The Chen family, who were better off, took a piece of smoked bacon and a can of meat floss.

If you are not well off, you can also go there and get some homemade steamed cakes or snacks.

Only in the class taught by another teacher, half of the students came to pay New Year's greetings, and half did not, including Shitou and Xiaohe.

The two teachers were from the same village and had the same surname, Zhou. The older one taught Shitou Xiaohe and the others and was known as Master Zhou.

The teacher who taught Xiaoman was called Master Xiao Zhou. He was younger and more knowledgeable. He had once waived one year's tuition for Shuisheng because he was very talented in studying.

Since Mr. Zhou started teaching after the New Year, he has been very friendly to the students who wish him a happy new year.

However, they treated those students who did not come to pay New Year's greetings in a different manner. They would slap their palms at any time, make them stand during class, and after class, they would have to copy the "Respect Teachers" a hundred times and hand it in the next day.

Whether you wrote these 100 times of respecting teachers or not, he will have reason to punish you.

If you write, he will say that your handwriting is not good, and it is a waste of time to teach them. The family spent money to send their children here to study and learn to read, but in the end, the knowledge they learned was wasted.

If you didn't write it, then there is an even better reason. You were supposed to write about respecting teachers, but you didn't even finish what the teacher asked you to do. Then why did you still read this book? If you did, then why didn't you listen to the teacher? Why didn't you copy when the teacher asked you to? Why didn't you copy well?

In short, they find all kinds of ways to make things difficult for students.
