"If the country wants to develop, science and technology must innovate..." Hao Mei looked at the pot in her daughter's hand and suddenly understood what was often said in the news.
Her mop is not as good as the "nirvana" in her daughter's hands.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed out loud in unison.
Rutang used her own strength to prove that even without the protection of a man, she could still take care of her family and not let anyone bully her.
Seeing that she was so capable, Hao Mei's original worries were much lessened.
At noon, Rutang went to the station to wait.
Yu Yaoyang went to the village yesterday to collect agricultural products and brought back some. Some still needed to be picked fresh, so he set the time for today and asked the village's carriage to bring them over.
The carriage coming out of Dali Village came over after a while. On the carriage were the villagers going into the city. The driver carried several bags of agricultural products from the carriage.
"Rutang, do you transport the goods yourself? Where is Yaoyang?" the driver asked casually when he saw Rutang riding a donkey backwards to load the goods.
"He has something to do, I can do it myself." Rutang took out the money, paid the fare to the driver, and rode the donkey backwards to the cannery.
These have to be taken to the cannery to be exchanged for supplies. Her family only goes there two days a week now. If anyone wants to exchange anything, tell her in advance. She will write it down in her book and go to the countryside to collect it, so that it can be exchanged quickly.
Don't waste time.
Rutang's slender figure and the donkey riding backwards loaded with goods look like a bad match no matter how you look at it.
The villagers sitting in the car saw her struggling to climb up the hill by riding the donkey backwards, and they all clicked their tongues.
"Girl Rutang, her life is really hard. She has such an unknown father, and she is married to a street kid who doesn't do his job properly. She is a high school student, but she can't do well in school, and she becomes a bad guy. How pitiful."
"Who says otherwise? With her looks, it's not impossible for her to marry a worker in the city who eats commercial grain. It's a pity."
Everyone sighed, and their voices were not quiet, and they drifted along the wind to the ears of Rutang who was working hard to climb up the slope.
Rutang turned around and silently took note of the people who were gossiping. She decided to give these people a few words when she returned to the village to receive goods.
If you look down on self-employed people, don't do business with them. You have to rely on her and Yu Yaoyang to make money, and you have to act condescending there. You really think she is such a broad-minded person.
Little did he know that he had already been jotted down by people like Tangniao quietly in his notebook, and was still sitting on the carriage having fun all the way.
No one knew how Rutang was living in the city. Even though Yu Yaoyang was very happy every time he returned to the village to collect agricultural products and pay the bills, no one believed that the couple had made money.
Every time Chen Guilan returns to the village, she always makes a big show of it.
He said Rutang would be compensated for whatever he did. The family could not make ends meet, so they rented a house in the city and could not even afford to live in the main house.
Chen Guilan only picked one head, and the villagers gave wings to their imaginations, conjuring up images of Rutang being beaten up by Yu Yaoyang every day.
It is easier to believe that others are having a bad life than to believe that others are having a good life.
The carriage stopped in front of a truck. Everyone who was eagerly discussing Rutang's unfortunate marriage stopped and looked at the man who got off the truck with envious eyes.
"My lord, your business is quite big. Have you bought all the cars?" the coachman asked the man in a warm tone.
With a smile on his face but alienation in his eyes, Jingtian jumped onto the side of the truck to move the boxes.
"Well, please help me bring it back to the village to my mother. I have something else to do, so I won't go back."
"We are all fellow villagers, so there is no need to worry about anything. The old Jing family has such a capable person like you. It's really a blessing from our ancestors." The coachman praised while looking at the truck with admiring eyes.
Trucks are legendary in this era. It would be incredible for anyone to have one like this.
"If you do a small business, you can't get on the stage." Jingtian said modestly, but his eyes were shining with pride.
Although he came from a poor background and could not be like the second-generation workers in the city who were born with the iron rice bowl and golden spoon of a state-owned enterprise, he still managed to make a name for himself with his hard-working hands.
"We have bought a truck, how can we call it a small business? The street boy from Old Yu's family is engaged in small business. His wife rides a donkey backwards to pull goods. It's a pity that such a beautiful girl married him and became a second-hand dealer.
Already." The coachman sighed again as he remembered the way Rutang rode the donkey backwards up the hill just now.
"Yu Yaoyang got married? Who did he marry?" When Jingtian heard that Yu Yaoyang got married, he rarely became curious.
"Chen Rutang, the third eldest daughter of the Chen family, you must have an impression that she is the most beautiful and well-educated girl in our village! This girl's life is really miserable. Her father is so careless that he married her off to a street kid for 500 yuan.
! Life is miserable now. I am beaten every day, and I can’t even live in a decent house. I live in a lower house, and I am now a person."
The coachman's words aroused the echo of everyone in the car.
They have never been out of the village, so they feel that living in an "indecent" house like a lower house is a "servant", which is probably the same status as a maid in a landlord's house in the old society.
"Bang!" The box in Jingtian's hand fell heavily to the ground, and the sound of broken porcelain came from inside.
The new teapot he bought for his family was broken, just like Jingtian's heart was broken at this moment.
He jumped out of the car excitedly and asked the driver in an almost crazy tone: "What did you say?! Who did he marry?!"
"Chen Rutang, what's wrong? Her father also owes you money?" Seeing how excited the coachman was, his first reaction was that Chen Fu, the man who killed a thousand people, owed money to Jingtian.
Jingtian didn't even care about what the coachman said. He leaned against the carriage in despair, his expression dull and his heart roaring.
She is married!
She actually got married!
She is still marrying the most obscure man in Dali Village!
He has only been out for two years. In just two years, how could the sea have turned into a mulberry field?
"Do you know where Yu Yaoyang lives now?" Jingtian asked.
The coachman only thought that he wanted to ask Yu Yaoyang for a debt, and that it was okay for the father-in-law to pay the debt to the son-in-law.
"I heard that he lives in a lower house in the family area of the candy factory. Please inquire."
When did the carriage drive away? Jingtian no longer felt anything. His mind was now filled with pain.
The driver and the passengers in the car were talking enthusiastically.
"Seeing Jingtian in such pain, Chen Fu must owe him a lot of money, right?"
"Who says it's not bad? It's pitiful..."
When Rutang arrived at the entrance of the cannery, many people were already standing at the entrance. Everyone was very excited when they saw her coming.
"Daughter-in-law Yangzi, you are here. We thought you wouldn't come."
"The chain fell off on the road. It took me a while to repair the bicycle. When I know how to do it, I will wash my hands and get the goods for everyone."
Rutang told everyone with a smile, ran to the guard and washed her hands before coming out.
The oil on the car chain is not easy to wash off, and the doorman doesn't have soap. After washing it with water for a long time, there are still black marks, and the gaps between the nails are black. Fortunately, it is not oily anymore.
The employees of the cannery were very polite when they saw her. Their factory was not paying wages right now. Thanks to the You Rutang couple, their urgent need was solved.
