They know that city people look down on rural people.
Especially Chen Simei and Liu Guihua, who work in the city, feel this more deeply.
They are just like that in county towns, let alone provincial towns.
One can imagine how much pressure Chen Sanmei feels here.
Her situation is not as good as her letter said.
"Don't look at me like this." Chen Sanmei said, dumbfounded.
“I don’t buy meat to eat, mainly because it’s hard to store it when I buy it in the morning, and the meat I stir-fry is not delicious at all.
I'm too lazy to make it. It's so convenient to eat scrambled eggs and vegetables alone.
As for eating less, I can only eat so much."
Chen Sanmei pointed to the lunch box, "How can I compare with their appetite!"
Those aunts and uncles were doing chores, and one meal was enough for her to eat for a day, so of course they felt that she had eaten less.
"Nothing happened to you, right?" Liu Guihua asked worriedly.
"I really haven't met you." Chen Sanmei affirmed, "Although there is a lot of gossip behind your back, I don't care."
"Then if you don't feel happy doing it, then stop doing it if you don't want to do it." Liu Guihua approached Chen Sanmei and lowered her voice.
"Zhaozhao will make money now. Our family is rich now!"
During this year, she took care of her children at home and helped with some work from time to time. The money she received every month was dozens of times what she earned at work.
It is not advisable to talk about making money to others, and writing letters is sometimes unreliable, as you are afraid that the letter will be lost or opened randomly.
Therefore, when Chen Zhaozhao and the others corresponded with Chen Sanmei, they did not talk about making money.
But Chen Sanmei knows that Chen Zhaozhao is very good at making money and is very rich. Not to mention, the food factory in the provincial capital has a lot of money.
She knew that everyone was rushing to buy the canned goods from No. 1 Food Factory, but often they couldn't get it.
Liu Guihua continued in a low voice, "I think what Zhaozhao said is right. The purpose of work is to make money. If there is something more profitable, there is no need to rely on work to make money."
"Yeah." Chen Sanmei nodded, "However, I quite like my current job. I'll wait until one day when I get really bored and can't stay any longer."
"Okay, no matter what you choose, we will support you." Chen Simei said.
"Yes." Liu Guihua nodded to Chen Dawang, "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's eat quickly."
"Okay." Chen Sanmei smiled and nodded, eating the rice cooked by Chen Zhaozhao. She was very moved, "Zhaozhao, the food you cooked is delicious. It's so fragrant."
"Then I can eat it more often from now on."
"Yes, it's great. I've finally waited for you." Chen Sanmei was very excited. She had been really lonely this year.
Because she is from a rural area and because she was admitted under special circumstances, she was severely excluded.
Although she said she didn't care, sometimes she was really angry.
She hadn't made any friends for so long, and she didn't have anyone to talk to.
"Fortunately, I have the food you sent, otherwise I would eat less."
This year, Chen Zhaozhao will mail her some delicious pickled vegetables, dried vegetables, chili sauce, meat sauce, etc.
She had never thought before that after leaving her hometown, she actually felt that she was a bit picky about food.
"From now on, since you sisters are all in the provincial capital, you will take care of each other," Liu Guihua said.
"Mom, Dad, and eldest sister, will you also stay in the provincial capital?"
"We are gone, how can there be no one at home?" Liu Guihua shook her head.
Of course, there is still Wang Sanmei at home now. Chen Zhaozhao and the others originally invited her to come with them, but she refused to do anything.
"Yes, it would be better for us to go back and live there." Chen Damei said.
Zhang Genshan and Chen Dawang nodded, they still felt at ease staying in the village.
The family chatted while eating, and soon after dinner, they went out for a walk.
Passing by the house outside, I saw the crowded situation inside.
Chen Dawang and the others had never seen them living in such a crowded place before, and they were greatly shocked.
After leaving the family building, Chen Simei said: "With their conditions, they actually have the nerve to dislike us. I think even the most overcrowded houses in our village are better than this."
"Then overall they are better than those in our village. After all, they have jobs, are well fed and clothed," Chen Sanmei said.
Chen Simei nodded, that's true, considering how poor their conditions were before.
If it weren't for Chen Zhaozhao, they would still be eating wild vegetables.
"The conditions in the city are much worse than them," Chen Zhaozhao said.
"Ah? There are worse ones." Chen Damei was surprised.
"Of course, many people don't have houses. Several families rent a room in the courtyard to live in. Some of the houses are smaller than this, like a birdcage."
"So scary." Chen Ermei was frightened.
Thinking of that situation, she was scared.
They chatted and came to the family courtyard, and a young man came to greet them.
"Comrade Sanmei!"
"Comrade Wu." Chen Sanmei greeted people politely.
Wu Jiangming looked at the people around her and became a little nervous, "Is this your family?"
"Hmm." Chen Sanmei nodded, without any intention of introduction. She just said something when she caught Chen Zhaozhao's eyes.
"This is my colleague from the same department."
"Hello!" Wu Jiangming greeted Chen Zhaozhao and the others politely.
Chen Sanmei didn't want to talk to him anymore and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Wu Jiangming glanced at Chen Zhaozhao and said sheepishly, "You, if you need any help, you can tell me."
When he came back from a business trip, he heard that Chen Sanmei's family members had come to seek refuge with her. The family was not frugal at all. They ate in restaurants when they came, and even coquettishly made a tricycle to go to the restaurant.
One day cost Chen Sanmei half a month's salary.
And he also heard that Chen Sanmei kept coming, frugally and sent all the money to her family, so she didn't have much money.
So, thinking about whether she wanted help, he could help her appropriately.
"Thank you, I have nothing to help you with." Chen Sanmei was polite and distant to him, "It's nothing, let's go first."
Chen Zhaozhao and the others continued to walk out. Wu Jiangming looked at their backs and pursed his lips.
After walking some distance away, Chen Simei looked back at Wu Jiangming and quietly poked Chen Sanmei, "Third sister, who is this person? What's going on?"
"This man's name is Wu Jiangming. The leader who introduced me to the Academy of Fine Arts was his father. He was quite friendly to me."
"His father is the vice-dean? Then there should be many people fawning over him. Does your attitude have nothing to do with him?"
"This is the correct attitude. I have this attitude towards everyone."
"I think he treats you...?" Chen Simei said "hehehe".
Chen Sanmei blushed, glanced at her parents walking in front, and glanced at Chen Simei, "It's nothing."
"He is good-looking and has status, so there must be a lot of lesbians who like him, right?"
"Yeah." Chen Sanmei nodded.
"Then your situation is more difficult than I thought." Chen Simei said.
She had experienced the intrigues of the art troupe.
Chen Sanmei smiled and shook her head indifferently.
Her parents were in front, and she didn't want to talk about this, and she didn't want them to worry.
Because the weather was too cold, a group of them walked around casually and went back to rest.
On the other side, Wang Yufa, the young man who flattered Song Renjie, became angry after hearing his subordinate's report.
"What do you do for food? I lost track of you this afternoon. I have been searching for so long but no one has been found. What use do I need you for?"
What are you still doing? Why don't you go check it out quickly?"
Wang Yufa’s two subordinates are worried~
How can they find someone in this huge crowd?
No, we had to rely on the most widely spread gangsters in the city, so they approached Scar...
