PFC Chapter 233 Going Home (9)
Chapter 233 Going Home (9)
Su Jinru has been back in her hometown for the Spring Festival these past few days, and she's been eating and drinking almost every day.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I ate at Jingui's house for a whole day, including lunch and dinner.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Sanbao's house and ate two meals a day.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, my younger sister and I went to the state-run restaurant in the county town to treat Minister Ye and his family to a meal.
They stayed at home for a day on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then bought plane tickets to return to Qiongzhou Island for the sixth day.
Tomorrow she's going back to Qiongzhou Island, and Su Jinru doesn't know when she'll be able to return this time.
I haven't been back to my husband's family home for two years, but I'll definitely be going back next year.
Although Yuan Wenjie's parents-in-law are not her biological parents, they treat her like their own child, so she should still be treated with the proper etiquette and her kindness should be repaid.
So at least next year, she's unlikely to come back.
After dinner, Su Jinru saw Yuan Wenjie, Ma Chunsheng, and Cao Yunhua still drinking and chatting.
Daya, Erya, Doudou, and Anxin, along with their twins, were playing in the yard.
Su Jinru walked out against her will.
She wanted to go and see the fields.
She came from a farming background and had a deep affection for the land.
Moreover, before leaving this place, she spent most of her days walking in the fields.
She was leaving tomorrow and wanted to go and see the sights.
After experiencing a severe famine, most of the land in Daben Village is still used for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, while the rest of the land has been restored to its previous state of rice and wheat cultivation.
This season is naturally for planting wheat.
The wheat seedlings are lush and green.
Just like An Xin said, she used to think that Daben Village was very big, because in her previous life, she spent most of her time there.
Su Jinru went to the county town to help take care of her children after they got married and had grandchildren.
Later, when her grandson grew up and Qi Zhengyang retired, she thought she could finally enjoy her retirement, but instead, Qi Zhengyang asked her for a divorce.
She felt like her life had suddenly become a joke, so she became despondent and lost the will to do anything.
Fortunately, her son and daughter are filial, keep her company, and provide her with a life free from worries about food and clothing.
From then on, she began to read online novels and watch exciting dramas every day to virtually save her failed self.
So the furthest she ever went in her previous life was to the county town.
In this life, she left Daben Village early on, went to the county town, and then to the distant Qiongzhou Island.
Looking back at Daben Village now, I realize that the village was actually quite small. In her previous life, this was her world for most of her life.
No wonder there's a saying: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."
In her previous life, her world consisted only of Daben Village, which is why she lived such a stifling life.
Now her wallet is free, her body is free, and her mind is free.
She can go wherever she wants whenever she wants.
She no longer toiled hard for her daily meals or carefully budgeted her finances.
As Su Jinru was thinking, someone suddenly appeared beside her.
She was wearing burgundy corduroy, and her face was painted very white, a pale, ashen white.
It took Su Jinru a while to recognize that this was Du Mei.
She was extremely thin, but her outfit was considered very glamorous and eye-catching in the village.
Su Jinru had heard long ago that she had divorced Qi Zhengyang and married Lai Gou.
Although Su Jinru thought Du Mei's outfit and demeanor were tacky, they were still very attractive to the men in the village.
After all, for someone who has never seen refined grains, being able to eat a little bit of coarse bran is better than having nothing at all.
My mom says she's a shameless scumbag now. Many men can make jokes with her without any boundaries, and she laughs and jokes with them. The women in the village all hate her and think she's immoral.
Su Jinru didn't want to talk to Du Mei and turned to leave.
Du Mei stopped Su Jinru.
Her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.
Su Jinru wore a camel-colored cashmere coat, her face was bare of makeup, and her attire was as plain as could be, but her skin was fair and rosy, and the quality of her clothes made her look very elegant.
He seemed to radiate a light naturally.
Why should an uneducated woman live a better life than her?
Why did she remarry better after her divorce?
Why does she seem to get younger with age?
Su Jinru frowned.
"Du Mei, what are you doing?"
"Su Jinru, I hate you. I admit you're doing well, but why do you have to come back and show off?"
"You're being too nosy! This is my home, my parents and relatives are all here. I went back to my own home for the New Year, I didn't go to your home, it's none of your business. You think I'm showing off, that's because you're living a miserable life, you can't stand seeing others do well, you're envious and jealous, that's your own problem, it has nothing to do with me."
"But what I find strange is that you and Qi Zhengyang have been having an affair for so many years, and you've been cheating on Cheng Xiao for so many years, making him raise two children for you for nothing. Oh no, now there's only one daughter who isn't your biological child. I've helped you two, you two scoundrels, and instead of being grateful to me, you hate me. What kind of logic is that?"
“Even though you and Qi Zhengyang are divorced, Qi Zhengyang keeps talking about you in my ear, saying how you were at home, what kind of hallucinogenic drugs you gave him. Before your divorce, he always looked down on you because you were illiterate, but after the divorce, he can’t forget you. I know you must be the one behind this. You even gave him rice during the famine.”
“If I hadn’t given him rice, you two would have starved to death long ago. Why didn’t you throw rice back then and say you had the guts not to eat my rice, that you’d rather starve than eat it? In fact, you both ate it. Now you’re asking me why I gave you rice, and you’re even saying I’m playing tricks?”
Looking at Du Mei's face contorted with anger, Su Jinru smiled and said, "As for why you two are not doing well, why lovers who are supposed to be together do not live happily ever after, that is inevitable. It is because I have done everything I could in the Qi family. I have done everything to the best of my ability. I have a clear conscience. Even if Qi Zhengyang marries ten or a hundred more women in the future, none of them will be as good as I have been. Therefore, without me, he is destined to never have a good marriage in this life."
"Because I am his ceiling, if he leaves me, his life will inevitably go downhill for the rest of his life."
"In your eyes, I am an illiterate man who can't read a single word. I have read a lot of wish-fulfillment novels. One of the best revenges is to play the role of a perfect person in front of a scumbag, then leave him. From then on, the scumbag will never find a better woman, and he will never be able to live the kind of life he wants again."
"Because he had met such a wonderful woman, the others immediately showed their true colors and were nothing compared to him. How could he be willing to settle for less? That's how the argument started."
"He will never see the truth of life. He lives his whole life trapped in his own foolish arrogance, greed, and obsession."
