I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 244: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 33

Zhao Meihua returned home eating pumpkin seeds.

She was eating and spitting out food at the same time. When she saw Fang Yun sitting on a stool to rest, Zhao Meihua's face changed and her eyes showed disdain for Fang Yun.

Zhao Meihua walked up to Fang Yun while chewing pumpkin seeds and deliberately spit them on Fang Yun. If Fang Yun had not dodged in time, Zhao Meihua would have spit on her face.

Looking at the dirt on his body caused by Zhao Meihua's vomit, Fang Yun frowned in disgust.

Zhao Meihua scolded, "You bitch, you just rest when I'm not home, right? Go clean up quickly, sweep the floor, wipe the table a few times, and clean every corner of the room."

Fang Yun got up early in the morning and started working. She had been working till now. She just wanted to take a break. Wasn't that possible? Fang Yun begged, "Mom, let me take a break first. I'll do it in a moment."

Zhao Meihua glared and cursed, "No, hurry up, do you still want to be beaten by me?"

"Don't give me that expression. It makes you look so pitiful."

"If you hadn't been lazy and pretended to be sick and had to stay in the hospital, would I have looked for my son? It's all because of you that my son has lost face in the village, and you're still pretending."

"How can you be so useless? My family is so unlucky to marry you into our family. We have such a useless daughter-in-law like you."

"You can't do the work you were asked to do, what else can you do?"

Fang Yun was dissatisfied: "Mom, I didn't pretend to go to the hospital that time. I really had no strength left in my body at that time. How can you blame me?"

Zhao Meihua: "You mean it's all my fault?"

Fang Yun shook his head: "Mom, I didn't mean that."

Zhao Meihua was furious, and her whole face looked even more mean: "What do you mean? Well, you, as a daughter-in-law, dare to say that about me, as a mother-in-law. I must punish you."

As she spoke, Zhao Meihua stretched out her hand and slapped Fang Yun in the face, causing him to see stars.

Ever since Fang Yun got married, all the housework has been done by Fang Yun. Zhao Meihua has stopped doing any work. She eats and drinks well all day long and has gained weight. As for Fang Yun, because she works every day, she has almost no time to rest except for sleeping at night. In addition, Zhao Meihua strictly guards the food in the house, so Fang Yun has not eaten many good things.

Fang Yun was naturally thinner than before she got married.

How could she possibly be stronger than Zhao Meihua, who ate well, drank well and had enough strength? So she could only cover her face and hide from Zhao Meihua.

While dodging, he said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. Please stop hitting me. Stop hitting me. I know I was wrong."

Zhao Meihua hit Fang Yun hard, causing him to run around with his head in his hands. She stopped only when he was out of breath. She said angrily, "Since you know you're wrong, get back to work."

Fang Yun didn't dare to rest anymore, for she was afraid that Zhao Meihua would beat her again.

She quickly took a rag, wet it with water, and started wiping the table.

Zhao Meihua sat on a stool, eating and watching Fang Yun work. She thought of what she had heard today and looked down on Fang Yun, her daughter-in-law, even more.

"You see, how can there be such a big difference between the two educated youth? Not only did Lin Zhiqing receive 300 yuan as a reward from the police, but I heard that he can also write articles."

"Other people also make money from writing articles. I heard that Lin Zhiqing made 20 yuan for each article he wrote. If he keeps writing, he will make a lot of money."

"Look at the other person's daughter-in-law, and then look at yourself. How come you are not as good as her at all? I wish I had let my son marry Lin Zhiqing at that time."

Zhao Meihua spoke directly and didn't care about Fang Yun's feelings at all.

Fang Yun held the rag in her hand, didn't say anything, and didn't react at all. Only when she heard Zhao Meihua say that she wanted Lin Qingyue to be her daughter-in-law did she react a little.

Fang Yun's eyes were full of jealousy and hatred.

Lin Qingyue, Lin Qingyue, she was an envied person in her previous life. Unexpectedly, when she started over again, she was still so hateful.

Why didn't she die when she fell into the water? It would have been better if she had died.

This time, she married Jiang Yuan. She tried so hard to please her mother-in-law. She did whatever she was asked to do and never resisted. She just wanted her mother-in-law to accept her.

She has worked so hard, but she still can't earn as much as Lin Qingyue. Does Zhao Meihua know who her daughter-in-law is?

Fang Yun felt angry and she really wanted to scold Zhao Meihua, but she couldn't.

Jiang Yuan no longer cares about her because of the secret she kept from him. If she angers Zhao Meihua again, she will definitely be kicked out, and Jiang Yuan will definitely not speak for her then.

This is absolutely not okay.

How could she let go so easily when she hasn't become a rich wife yet?

It doesn’t matter. She will just work hard for a few years, and when the country opens up and Jiangyuan becomes prosperous, her hard work will be over and she will reap the rewards.

She refused to think about or subconsciously ignored the fact that Jiang Yuan might abandon her when he became successful. She was his wife and he would not abandon her.

She will definitely live a better life than Lin Qingyue in the future.

Besides, Lin Qingyue’s pride wouldn’t last long, as she would soon become a widow.

When she was suffering so much, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort and joy in her heart when she saw others were suffering more than her.

When she thought of this, she suddenly felt less tired at work.

But Fang Yun was destined to be disappointed because Qingyue had already received the telegram sent to her by Jiang Xiangdong.

There were only four words on it: safe. Come back soon.

Jiang Xiangdong did not encounter any problems during this mission and will be back soon.

That night, Qingyue read a book for a while and soon fell asleep.

Before going to other worlds, Qingyue loved staying up late and would not go to bed before one o'clock in the morning. But after going through so many worlds, Qingyue also developed a habit. As long as there was nothing to do, she would go to bed after nine o'clock.

The same thing happened to this night.

At this time, in another room, Zhang Yufen was tossing and turning on the kang, unable to fall asleep. Especially with Jiang Baoguo snoring loudly next to her, she couldn't fall asleep even more.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She listened carefully and found that it was true.

Zhang Yufen sat up and began to shake Jiang Baoguo who was sleeping soundly: "His father, his father, don't sleep anymore, wake up."

Jiang Baoguo was shaken awake, his eyes still dazed: "What's wrong?"

"Listen, is there a knock on our door?"

Jiang Baoguo came to his senses a little. He listened and saw that someone was knocking on the door.

He got off the kang, picked up the stick behind the door, quietly walked outside, then to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

A voice came from outside: "Dad, it's me."

Jiang Baoguo opened the door and saw that it was his youngest son: "Xiangdong, why are you back at this time?"
