I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 224: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 13

Since both father and son agreed, Jiang's mother had nothing to say.

Although she is the one who makes the decisions on all matters big and small at home, and her father usually doesn't say anything, she always agrees with whatever he says and won't refute it.

So even if she didn't like her future daughter-in-law, she had to arrange for her son to marry Fang Yun.

But in his heart, he felt even more disgusted and disliked Fang Yun.

On the other side, Qingyue and a few educated youth who went to the town together returned to the educated youth compound, put down their things and started preparing to cook.

Today is a rare day when they don't have to work in the fields, so the educated youth decided to get together.

These educated youth picked vegetables, washed pots, and collected firewood.

A male educated youth named Wu Qiang came over and said with a smile, "We were busy working in the fields and haven't had a good meal for a while. We're going to have a good meal today. I have a piece of bacon here. You can use it to cook it."

Following his lead, other educated youth also took out some good things.

A male educated youth named Zhang Wei took out some flour, and other educated youth took out vermicelli, eggs, candy, pork, half a rabbit, and so on.

Looking at these delicious things, the educated youth swallowed their saliva subconsciously. In order to eat them earlier, everyone was busy working.

Qingyue watched this scene and saw everyone busying themselves, and she happily participated in it.

Although supplies are scarce at this time, happiness at this time is really simple. Being able to have a good meal is a very happy thing.

By the time it was getting dark, the meal was ready.

These educated youth sat down around the table and looked at the table full of dishes. They all picked up their chopsticks involuntarily.

The dishes on the table included fried eggplant, fried beans, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised rabbit meat, fried white flour pancakes, and scrambled eggs with wild vegetables.

But although everyone picked up their chopsticks, no one started eating first. Chen Jianguo, the oldest educated youth who had arrived earlier than them, said a few words: "Everyone, eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other educated youth started picking up their dishes. No one spoke, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

Fang Yun felt a little disgusted when he saw everyone wolfing down their food. Who would eat like that in the future? They would be looked down upon.

However, she had been eating less oily dishes during this period. Even though she felt disgusted, she followed the other educated youth and started to grab the food. She was not slower than the other educated youth.

The dishes on the table were quickly eaten up, and every plate was left clean. Even the soup was used by some of the educated youth to mix with rice.

After eating, everyone did not disperse, but started chatting.

A female educated youth named Zhang Hong suddenly said, "I will move out in a few days and will not live in the educated youth compound anymore."

Not to mention other educated youth, even the female educated youth Wang Lili who lived in the same room with her, Li Chunling, didn't know about this.

Wang Lili asked, "Have your family found a way to bring you back home?"

As she spoke, she felt a little envious and didn't know when she could return to the city.

However, Zhang Hong shook her head: "No, I'm getting married, and I'll naturally move out after I get married."

Qingyue and Wang Juan looked at each other, and Wang Juan asked, "Zhang Zhiqing, who are you going to marry?"

"It's Tiezhu in the east of the village. I think he's a good guy. I've been in the countryside for three years, and I'm not young anymore. I don't see any hope of returning to the city. I really can't hold on any longer."

The other educated youth did not say anything, they were all very silent. Yes, it was impossible to go back to the city now. Zhang Hong couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to get married, and how long could they hold on?

In this silent atmosphere, Fang Yun suddenly spoke up: "Zhang Zhiqing, I advise you not to get married. Tiezhu doesn't look like a promising man. If you marry him, you will definitely be a rural person for the rest of your life. You will definitely suffer for it."

Before Zhang Hong could say anything, Wang Lili stood up. She had disliked Fang Yun for a long time. The ten of them took turns cooking in groups of two, and she was in a group with Fang Yun.

She didn't think it was bad at first. After all, they had to cook no matter who they were assigned to the same group with. It seemed fine before, but she didn't know what had happened to her some time ago. When it was her and Fang Yun's turn to cook, she had to urge them many times. Even so, he still gave her a cold look.

She also told her several times that she promised well at the beginning but forgot it the next time. What kind of person is she? She is not proactive at work but is more proactive than anyone else when it comes to eating.

Now that Zhang Hong is getting married, it’s fine if she doesn’t bless her, but she can’t say that about her.

Wang Lili said, "If you can't talk, just shut up. How can you talk like that? You said Zhang Hong was destined to suffer, but I think you are the one. I remember you said you were going to marry Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan is his only son. I think you will suffer so much when you get married to his family."

Fang Yun also stood up and said angrily, "You are wrong. I will definitely live a happy life after marrying Jiang Yuan. You are jealous that I have found such a good partner but I am still alone."

"And Jiang Yuan is different from the others. He has found a job in the city, so he will definitely have a better future."

Wang Lili sneered and said sarcastically: "Really? Then I can wish you all your wishes come true." But he didn't believe it at all.

Before she went to the countryside, her neighbor also had only one son. At that time, she also thought that the daughter-in-law who married into this family would definitely live a good life.

After all, there are no other brothers and sisters in this family to fight for property or house. Everything will belong to the young couple in the future.

But later she found out that her idea was wrong, really wrong.

After the son of this family got married, the daughter-in-law suffered a lot.

The mother-in-law of that family kept an eye on her every day, and all the housework was done by the daughter-in-law. In order to get her to give birth to a grandson, she was given some strange folk remedies.

That's it. The daughter-in-law's husband did not stop it, but stood on his mother's side.

In order to prevent her daughter-in-law from pulling her son to her side, she kept saying bad things about her daughter-in-law in her son's ears.

When her son and my daughter-in-law had conflicts, she took sides and not only that, she added fuel to the fire.

Her family and this family are neighbors and are so close. How could she not know what happened to this family? This family has never had a peaceful life.

Her family members tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. She just did what she wanted to do.

When she went to the countryside, she also saw the daughter-in-law of this family once. The originally pretty girl had been tortured to the point that her eyes were dull, her face was sallow, and there were many calluses on her hands. She didn't know when she would be able to escape from this family that made her suffer so much.
