Chapter 190 It's Terrifying to Be Uncultured
And what happened? After following her son for two days, she discovered that his girlfriend was actually Fan Yaqing, which infuriated Aunt Wang! She rushed over and dragged her son away, saying to Fan Yaqing as they left:
"Fan, my son Jinsheng isn't very bright, he's a bit slow. He's not good enough for you, don't look for him anymore!" With that, she hit her son on the back of the head twice with the sole of her shoe and ordered him to go home.
Chen Jinsheng finally understood why his mother called him stupid: "Mom, how am I stupid? You're hitting my head like that, even if I wasn't stupid, you'd make me stupid!"
"You dare talk back? Get your ass home! Your father will skin you alive!"
When Wang Xiufen got home, she told Chen Jinsheng about it, and Chen Jinsheng also explained how he and Fan Yaqing started dating. Chen Hongxiang was furious; his foolish son had been tricked!
He took off his shoes and gave his son a severe beating, forbidding him from having any further contact with Fan Yaqing.
Of course Chen Jinsheng was not convinced. He explained to his parents that Fan Yaqing had suffered a lot of grievances, and that Tong Yuheng always bullied her. He also said that Zhou Manman was jealous of her because she was pretty, which was why she put up those big-character posters to slander her.
"Which eye of yours saw that Tong Zhiqing bullied someone? You believe her just because she said it? You don't even believe your mother who raised you for twenty years, but you actually believe that woman who never tells the truth! I've raised you for nothing!" Wang Xiufen wailed, but her son thought she was being unreasonable.
"Are you brainless? She said that Tong and Zhou, the educated youths, bullied her, that her sister-in-law bullied her by secretly signing her up to go to the countryside, and that her ex-boyfriend lied to her. Why is everyone so mean to her? Don't you ever think about what's wrong with her?"
"What's wrong with her? She's just pretty, which makes people jealous. Ya-ching is so well-behaved and sensible, they just take advantage of her because she's easy to bully!" Chen Jin-sheng felt like he was the hero who saved the weak.
The captain and his wife were driven crazy by their son's stupidity. They couldn't understand how they could have given birth to such a dimwit. Luckily, their eldest son wasn't like that!
The couple couldn't wake their son up no matter how much they beat him or tried to persuade him, so they locked him up and wouldn't let him go out, nor did they let him go to work to earn work points!
Tong Yuyao also knew about what had happened at the brigade leader's house; Chen Jinsheng was still being held captive at home. Fan Yaqing was quite adept at bewitching people; one young man after another rushed forward to be manipulated by her.
However, the sisters treated these things as a joke, and also felt sorry for the brigade leader and his wife. They hoped that Chen Jinsheng could come to his senses soon!
Tong Jiahui and her daughter got the necessary certificates and went directly to the town's middle school. She had already spoken to the principal about this beforehand, and Liu Fengyi had also spoken to the Education Commission. As long as Tong Yuyao was ready to resign, Tong Jiahui could come and work there.
Compared to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, Tong Jiahui, as a highly educated college student, is in her forties and is more suitable to be a teacher. So when Tong Yuyao mentioned this to Principal Zhang Mei, she immediately agreed.
The town's middle school only has junior high, no senior high. Each grade has two classes and three math teachers. Algebra and geometry are not separated; they are both taught by the same math teacher. Tong Yuyao was transferred here at the end of last year to teach the first-year junior high students. She will continue teaching these students until they graduate before taking on the next batch of new students.
Tong Jiahui quickly completed her onboarding procedures and was taken by the principal to the first-year junior high class that Yuyao was currently teaching. Because she had prepared in advance and had also observed a few classes with her daughter, the teaching effect was quite good.
Principal Zhang attended one of her classes and was very satisfied with her teaching. It seems that Tong Jiahui has put a lot of effort into the studies of the Tong family's daughters!
Tong Jiahui's decision to go to work in town sparked another round of gossip in Chenjiatun. Many were envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do. Tong Yuyao's military service spot wasn't taken from someone else in the village; she gave it to her own mother, leaving them with no room for criticism.
Some people even wanted to talk to Tong Yuheng about why her mother gave her sister's job but not her. Why did she, the eldest daughter, have to either work in the fields or be a nanny at her uncle's house? Logically, her mother should have gone to her uncle's house to take care of the children, and she should have taken over her sister's job.
Tong Jiahui: Hehe, trying to sow discord? Is there really such a person? It's scary to be uncultured; you don't even understand the principle of not alienating relatives!
Yuyao was well-behaved and sensible from a young age, never causing her family any worry. She prepared some necessary daily necessities for herself, which she packed in a backpack her mother made for her. She spent the rest of her time going to work or helping her grandfather make medicinal pills.
My older sister has been away from home for the past few months, so they've been using their house as a pharmaceutical processing room. Unless they're making something special, they don't go to the dispensing room in the basement.
Before leaving, her older sister prepared about ten sets of underwear for her, saying that it would probably be inconvenient to prepare these in the military. She also prepared some medicines to help her practice martial arts, which she carefully kept.
His mother also made him several pairs of pants using that military green fabric, guessing that he would wear out more pants during training.
Tong Yuyao had never been away from her family since she was a child, and she felt a lot of reluctance, but she was also full of anticipation for her upcoming military career.
Three days later, Tong Yuyao accepted an invitation to Wang Haiyan's house to attend a celebration banquet for her joining the army, and gave her a piece of military green cloth. She liked it very much, but couldn't bear to make a pair of pants for herself, so she asked her older sister to make a new pair for her father.
After Wang Haiyan's father put on his new pants, he went around the village showing them off, saying that his daughter was much better than some other people's spendthrift sons!
This display attracted a number of matchmakers to propose marriage to Wang Haiyan. Her height and physique made her the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of many older women, and the influx of suitors was quite annoying! If she weren't already a soldier, she would have picked up these matchmakers upside down and thrown them out!
Tong Yuyao's family did not hold a banquet, but her close aunts and grandmothers, Liu Shuixian, Miao Yafeng, and Wang Xiufen, still came to give some gifts to express their congratulations.
Tong Jiahui gave each of them a meter of red cloth as a return gift, which would be useful for weddings or marriages.
"Look at you, why are you giving us such expensive stuff? This material is so soft. I'll bring you some dried shrimp too. I can't keep taking advantage of you!" Liu Shuixian smiled as she accepted the red cloth. This stuff is hard to come by these days.
"Yuheng has a classmate who works at a textile factory in Yanshi. The two are very close, and they have some internal quotas for processing defective fabrics. If you want any material, I can have Yuheng write to her and she can bring some back for you!"
"That would be great! My family is making new clothes before the New Year, could you help me get some? Do you need any coupons?" Wang Xiufen asked hurriedly.
"No coupons are needed, and the price isn't expensive. The internal price should be similar to that of a regular supply and marketing cooperative, with only a few cents more for postage," Tong Jiahui replied.
