Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Smart People
Fuying Gu was a bit stunned when she heard Xu Ying’s words. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Wu Yu’s home isn’t well-off, he doesn’t have the money to buy me new clothes and skin care products.”
Xu Ying was taken aback and asked, “He isn’t like that male educated youth in our village, is he? He always tells me, ‘Yingying, our family isn’t well off, I am now going down to the countryside to support, I’ve never done hard labor, so I can’t earn much work points, and I can’t afford to buy you clothes.
But don’t worry, once I have money, I will definitely make it up to you. Right now, letting you help me like this makes me feel truly guilty.’ Your boyfriend doesn’t say things like that, right?”
Fuying Gu’s face turned awkward, her boyfriend said exactly the same as Xu Ying had described.
Without waiting for Fuying Gu to speak, Xu Ying continued, “That scumbag educated youth is just saying that on purpose, to make me feel pity for him, so I’d cover for him.
You said his family is poor, then he definitely should be able to endure hardships. He can’t do anything, has no money; that’s the epitome of relying on a woman.
Now he’s so incompetent and depends on a woman, how can you expect him to achieve anything great in the future? Who knows, once he has money, not only may he not be grateful for your kindness, but he might even resent you for seeing him at his most pathetic.
People like that are extreme in character; when they are angry and embarrassed, who knows, they may even lash out at you. Sigh, I was really blind back then, fancying such a man.
Lucky for me I didn’t end up with him, or just the thought of it scares me.”
Aunt Gu was sitting in the living room, and nearly all of Xu Ying’s words had fallen into her ears. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud; this girl was really quite interesting.
She didn’t know if the lousy educated youth that the girl talked about was real, but if he was, this girl was pitiable too.
Fuying Gu’s originally enthusiastic mood instantly wilted, and she looked at Xu Ying, lacking energy, and said, “Yingying, I feel a bit uncomfortable and want to sleep, you go on back first.
When you come to the county for work the day after tomorrow, I’ll come find you after work for a chat.”
Xu Ying nodded, feeling a tinge of sympathy for Fuying Gu; they were both women who had been deceived by scumbags.
After Xu Ying left, Aunt Gu packed up some food—everything was clean and untouched, which she had just seen on her trip to the kitchen.
Seeing Xu Ying about to leave, she hurriedly said, “Yingying, take these home with you to eat. We can’t finish so much food at home, you can’t turn this down, otherwise it will all go to waste.”
Xu Ying could only accept this kindness, smiling as she left the Gu home.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Second Brother Xu slouched against the wall at the entrance.
“Second Brother, you’re so smart, you can definitely do it. After all, being a teacher in the county isn’t much different from being one in the commune. As long as we dare to dream and try, we can certainly make it,” Xu Ying said.
If all else fails, they could still turn to Aunt Gu for help, as she was a teacher in the county. Surely she wouldn’t mind giving them a hand, but that too would require Second Brother Xu’s own efforts.
Second Brother Xu didn’t dare to hope, but remembering the time he took the exam to become a commune teacher, he had never imagined he could one day be a teacher. Yet that day had arrived.
He could make it as a county teacher too.
Second Brother Xu cheered himself on.
“Second Brother, have you not seen Sister Qiuye yet? I just so happen to want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Take me with you, and we can drop by to see her.”
Ever since Second Brother Xu had confirmed his relationship with Qiuye, she was all he could think about. Today, after being disparaged by Accountant Xu, he was too scared to go see her.
But his longing hadn’t diminished one bit, and hearing his sister say this, he immediately turned around and pedaled towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Ying hopped off the bike and ran inside.
She began a big shopping spree, leaving some time for the two of them to be alone.
Second Brother Xu went to find Xu Qiuye. When she saw him, her face lit up with surprise, “Shengcai, what brings you here!”
Second Brother Xu told her about his plans to come to the county and about his little sister’s new job at the State-owned Restaurant, a look of pride on his face.
Xu Qiuye, hearing this, felt happy for them, “Yingying is really amazing. I’ve always said her cooking skills would be wasted if she didn’t work at the State-owned Restaurant. It’s a huge loss not to utilize them.
When Yingying comes to the county, she should come to me if she needs anything.”
Second Brother Xu nodded, his eyes flickering as he gazed at Qiuye’s face so close to his. His cheeks flushed red, “Yes, I’ll tell Yingying.
If you need anything, just let Yingying know, and I’ll come to the county to see you whenever I’m off work.”
Xu Ying headed upstairs at the supply and marketing cooperative. She planned to buy a bicycle but wanted one designed for women.
The men’s bikes were too big and not easy to ride.
She would have to come to the county every day, and without a bike, it would be quite inconvenient.
