Chapter 79 Patriarchy, Ye Zhu is sad(1/2)
Li Cuicui packed up the honey.
It was packed away well, leaving only a small jar outside.
Now that the weather is warmer, there are more rats, and sometimes weasels come down from the mountains.
If you don't hide your food well, it will definitely be hard to escape the poisonous claws.
Ye Zhu returned home with two kilograms of honey.
Li Guihua didn't expect that the orchard could even get honey, "Oh, this honey is very good, and there are still two kilograms left."
"When your brother comes back from vacation, let him take it to the city to eat."
"When the seasons change, my throat tends to get dry when I study in school. It's good to drink some honey water."
"Your brother is picky about food again. Bring him honey so he can eat it when he's hungry."
Ye Zhu pursed his lips: "Ye Xiaojin gave this to me, and she shared it with everyone."
"That's what she should do." Li Guihua happily collected the honey.
Ye Zhu originally wanted to say that they didn't hold grudges and were willing to share the honey with the newcomer.
But looking at her mother's appearance, she didn't say anything.
"You were in the orchard. Ye Xiaojin didn't deliberately make things difficult for you, right?" Li Guihua turned back and looked at Ye Zhu, "She does hold a grudge."
"My heart is smaller than a sesame seed."
"No way..." Ye Zhu muttered: "She is usually very busy and has no time to care about me."
"That's good. If she bullies you, just tell me." Li Guihua hummed, "I'm sure she'll vent her anger on you."
"She thinks she's great as a captain, isn't she just a little brat?"
"If she dares to be arrogant with us, we won't tolerate her."
"Mom, don't always talk about how bad people are." Ye Zhu sat on the stool, "Ye Xiaojin is quite awesome."
"And she is also very popular, everyone likes her."
"She was also the one who initiated the bee-keeping thing."
Honey is a rare thing, and is not even cultivated in the village.
If Ye Xiaojin is really selfish, she can put the bees in her own home.
There is no need to share it with others at all.
"You damn girl, how long have you been going to the orchard for? How long have you been talking to Ye Xiaojin?"
"Do you know how their family bullied our family?"
"When your brother becomes a high official in the future, I will definitely say this!"
Ye Zhu lowered his eyes and stopped talking to Li Guihua.
She got up and went outside to wash vegetables.
"You damn girl, where are you going?"
Ye Zhu envied the atmosphere in Ye Xiaojin's family. At least they didn't favor boys over girls.
She didn't realize that her parents were partial to her before.
Until she is not allowed to study...
Now, even after bringing back two kilograms of honey, she can't even eat a bite!
Mother will only give all the good things to her brother!
It's not that her brother doesn't want it, and it's not her turn.
"You damn girl, are you still angry?" Li Guihua pointed, "You will get married in the future, and sooner or later you will be taught a lesson by your husband's family."
"I'm too lazy to care about you now."
Ye Zhu finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Just because I want to get married, why don't you let me study?"
"Yang Juan even asked Yang Lili to study!"
"It's useless for her to study. It's a waste of money and a waste of time." Li Guihua said without thinking: "When your brother studies and becomes successful, he will help you."
"You can marry into a good family then..."
"Besides, girls are no match for boys, so they are of no use."
Ye Zhu no longer wanted to hear such words.
She said in a loud voice, "I'm going to put out the loach basket."
After she said that, she ran away.
Ye Xiaojin is repairing the branches of the peach tree by the stream. Afterwards, the peach trees will have their branches pruned.
Peach trees with pressed branches can not only prevent some frost damage, but also make picking easier.
With red eyes, Ye Zhu went to put the loach basket in the stream.
Ye Xiaojin glanced sideways at her, feeling a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions.
When Ye Zhu saw Ye Xiaojin busy, he was curious and embarrassed to talk to her.
"If this peach tree had its branches pressed down since childhood, it would have an open shape when it grows up, and it would be very short."
Ye Zhu felt a little embarrassed when he heard her explaining to him, "Oh."
"Where do all these ideas... of yours come from?"
"No one else does it."
"Learned it from books." Ye Xiaojin said casually, even though the system gave her basic planting techniques.
But they all require practice and learning.
"It's so good to read and recognize characters." Ye Zhu envied: "Did your brother teach you how to read?"
Ye Xiaojin opened her mouth, but she couldn't say that she was good at it.
"I... mainly study on my own."
Ye Zhu nodded: "Then you are so smart. I can't even read a book."
Ye Xiaojin noticed her envious eyes, which were a little unnatural, "Logically speaking, you should be in elementary school at your age."
"Wouldn't it be boring to pull weeds in the orchard every day?"
"I want to study, but my parents said that there is no money for me to study." Ye Zhu leaned over and touched the leaves of the peach tree, "It will cost a lot of money for my brother to study in high school."
"And they all think that I will get married when I grow up and don't need to study."
"Anyway...it's useless for me to study."
Ye Xiaojin nodded secretly, Li Guihua and his wife were very patriarchal.
It is completely expected to have such thoughts.
However, attending elementary school only costs 2 yuan per semester, which is probably not worth mentioning to my uncle’s family.
"You yourself should know whether reading is useful."
"But this is your family background, so I can't say anything."
"Your brother's success in the future has nothing to do with you as a married man."
Ye Xiaojin said a little cruelly, just like Ye Wenchang's arrogant attitude.
I will never be nice to Ye Zhu in the future.
Ye Zhu became even more sad when he heard this, "Will you be able to study in the future?"
"Of course."
Ye Zhu sighed and went home.
Ye Xiaojin looked at her lonely back and shook his head helplessly. Ye Zhu was not the only one like this.
There are many girls who cannot study.
"There is still a long way to go to change the concept of favoring boys over girls."
Li Cuicui was getting firewood by the stream and saw Ye Xiaojin talking to Ye Zhu.
She came over with a handful of dry bamboo, "Jinbao, what did your cousin say to you?"
"It's nothing, she is quite honest now." Ye Xiaojin did all the things to press the branches, "She... just has a bit of a strong mentality."
"Muqiang mentality? What do you mean?"
"It means I like strong people." Ye Xiaojin clapped her hands.
She asked curiously: "Mom, do you think I'm useless because I'm a girl?"
"How is that possible?" Li Cuicui frowned: "Both men and women are the same."
