Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Unsociable

"I told you not to mention this matter, why bring it up again!" Gu Yuan had an impatient look on his face, but he didn't dare to get angry.

Gu Linjun next to him had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, so Li Mei had no worries.

She lowered her voice and pointed at the other person and said, "I'm telling you, Gu Yuan, when you promised me that we would break up after two years of marriage, it's been several years now, and you're talking nonsense!"

"My mother-in-law's family has promised to contribute part of the money. If your Gu family get some more money, we can build a house. Where can you find such a good thing?"

"You really think that our Li family has money but no place to spend it! I think you are also a fool!"

The Li family's family conditions are very good, they have a lot of labor force, and they are good at carpentry and masonry, so they definitely make more money than ordinary team members.

Li Mei is the only girl in this generation in the family, so her brothers are all kind to her.

Hearing these words, Gu Yuan remained silent and lowered his head. In fact, he also knew that this was a good thing. How could any father-in-law get money to help his son-in-law build a house?

Although they don't get all of it, they still get some of it. At least their family doesn't have much money saved now.

But when I think about myself as the eldest son, I can't say anything that I agree with.

If you agree to this, you won’t be allowed to have people point your spine and scold you when you go out in the future?

The second brother didn't have a family, so he couldn't agree to the separation of the family no matter what.

"Mei Zi, I am the eldest son in the family, just think that I don't know how to promote myself. We can wait until the second brother gets married, otherwise I will not agree to the separation of the family." His tone was firm and could not be questioned.

Seeing what he said, Li Mei was furious. This is so stupid!

But there was really no way to separate the family if the second brother didn't get married. Thinking of this, she stopped mentioning it and her face didn't look good.

They were arguing here and the other side didn't hear them at all because they lowered their voices. Li Mei didn't want to quarrel now, so she naturally had to be cautious.

the next morning.

Shen Man got up and heated the kang. It was already very cold in the middle of the night. There was nothing we could do about it. The weather in the Northeast was like this.

After the stove started burning, she turned around and went out to fetch water. There was a well in the yard, but now it was covered with a manhole cover to avoid being frozen.

Although the well is very deep, it will freeze regardless of care.

Just as she was walking back with the water, Li Tianbao suddenly came out of the room, and the two of them met each other.

Seeing this, Shen Man looked at him deeply without any fear, turned around and carried the water back to the house.

Looking at the departing figure, Li Tianbao was a little curious. It stands to reason that ordinary people would be scared after what happened last night, but this person obviously wasn't.

Even if you are not afraid, you still have to hide and walk.

In fact, Shen Man still has lingering fears, but he also knows that the more afraid you are, the bolder the gangster will be.

After cleaning up, she put on her cotton jacket and trousers. Seeing that there was a hole in the cotton trousers, and there was no time to mend it, she put on a pair of loose black trousers, then put on a headscarf and carried a satchel on her back and went out.

The wind was blowing outside, and it was no longer snowing, but it was still overcast.

"What are you doing?" Wang Yue saw her walking out when she came out, and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Shen Man didn't even look back, "Go to town!"

As she said that, she walked towards the village. At this time, there were several people sitting on the tractor.

A familiar figure waved to her, and Shen Man hurried over.

"Sister Man, why did you come so late? There will be no room for a while." Gu Nan said while handing her a small mazaar.

After the two sat down, everyone else in the car was asking Gu Nan about Chen Man.

The person involved was sitting next to him, but he asked other people?

Shen Man smiled and greeted them. They were all women, so they were all cheerful.

Especially since she didn't look as arrogant as other educated youths, I liked chatting with her even more.

Soon, several more people came up one after another, and the carriage was full in no time.

"Oh, wait for us!" Wang Yue and Qiao Xin chased the tractor that was about to start, and were about to get on the truck.

"There's no room, where do you sit?" The man driving the car didn't stop and drove away.

"Hey?" Wang Yue looked at the car in surprise and shouted quickly, "Why don't you pull us along? You can't just squeeze in."

But the car was getting further and further away, and no one could hear what she said.

Qiao Xin was also very angry, "Who are you? You knew there was a car going to town today but you didn't tell us!"

She was more angry with Shen Man for not telling them than for not waiting for their tractor.

We are all educated youths, so it’s okay to be out of touch every day, and we still hang out with these farmers.

Wang Yue next to her also felt that this was reasonable, "There is something really wrong with Shen Man. Why didn't he tell us about going to the town?"

The two angrily returned to the collective home and entered the collective rest and eating area, where everyone was chatting and reading.

"Why are you back? Didn't you go to town?" Xu Jie asked curiously.

It was okay if he didn't say this, but once he said it, the two of them were angry.

Qiao Xin threw her bag on the table and said angrily: "What are you going for? We've already left when we get to the car!"

"Who are you? You know there is a car going to town today, but you don't tell anyone."

She sat on the stool, feeling increasingly dissatisfied with Shen Man.

Wang Yue next to her also echoed: "No, they are all educated youths who went to the countryside. It doesn't matter that she doesn't get along with us, and she hangs out with those mud-legged people in the countryside."

“It’s really a bargain for the educated youth!”

This really speaks to everyone's heart. Although everyone's household registration is now in the Shangjiang Brigade, they are from the city and will return to the city in the future.

Even if this return to the city is far away, we can't let it sink.

Others didn't say anything, they were all in a daze or reading. It's one thing to agree in your heart, but it's another thing not to say it out loud.

As for Shen Man, she doesn't care what others think. In her previous life, she accumulated a small amount of wealth but didn't enjoy it. Finally, when she got a chance to start over, she doesn't live her life based on other people's looks.

Sitting on the tractor, the cold wind blew over me. Everyone lowered their heads to avoid being blinded by the cold wind.

Gu Nan on the side said loudly: "Sister Man, you will go shopping when we get there soon. I have to send cotton pants to my second brother."

Gu Chen left on his bicycle early this morning, and Li Jinhua didn't even bring the cotton trousers he had prepared, so why didn't he just come over and give them a gift?

After hearing this, Shen Man nodded to indicate that he understood, and then continued to lower his head to avoid the wind.

The car finally arrived and everyone got off one by one.

The tractor driver got out of the car and said, "I'll be waiting here at ten o'clock. Whatever you want to buy, hurry up."

Everyone else knew it, so they didn't say anything.

After Shen Man got out of the car, he said a few words to Gu Nan and watched her go to deliver cotton pants.

Looking at this town, which was similar to Xiajiang Brigade, she felt that it was really poor here.

Not far away are the supply and marketing cooperative, state-owned hotel, post office, and grain store.

These stores are all one-story houses, and there are no two-story houses at all.

There is a factory further away, but this town is not as good as the countryside of later generations.
