Later, when Chen Jiao learned that the red envelopes Su Yan gave always contained at least two cents, and that everyone who went to the Zhu family to pay New Year's greetings would at least get a handful of melon seeds and four or five candies, she really felt that the one cent she gave was too little.

She didn't blame herself for packing too little, but instead resented Su Yan for packing too much.

You clearly don't have much money, but you still try to act like you're rich.

She has always been like this. Once she has some money, she becomes very generous and doesn't even leave any way out for others.

Chen Jiao blamed Su Yan for packing too much, which made her look too little.

She has no idea how stingy she is. Even though everyone in the village has more than her, she still has the nerve to complain about others.

In the next few days, whenever Chen Jiao went out, she felt like someone was pointing fingers at her from behind.

When she saw other educated youth, she would explain that she didn't know there was such a custom here, but others would nod as if they understood her in front of her, but would still mock her for being too stingy behind her back.

"She said she didn't know the customs here. We didn't know when we first came here. She didn't give a penny. Or maybe she was too stingy. She wasted a penny on the red paper."

"That's right, it's better not to give it to others and just give them a handful of melon seeds."

"I don't even want to admit that she is one of us educated youth, otherwise people will think that we educated youth are all stingy."

"She often comes to brag about how good Lin Dong is to her and how much money he gives her every month. Is that all? She just saves some pocket money, but she wouldn't give a penny to him."

"That's right. So, it's obvious that she is stingy and is making excuses."

Chen Jiao accidentally heard other people talking behind her back and was so angry that she couldn't eat her meal when she returned home.

They had no idea of ​​the hard life she had lived in the past, and they just knew how to laugh at others.

Isn't one cent money? Whose money comes from the wind? She won't give red envelopes anymore.

Thinking this way, when others came to the Lin family to wish them a happy new year, Lin Dong pretended that he did not remember Chen Jiao having given him red envelopes, and gave each child a red envelope.

Although it's not much this time, at least it's four cents, which is better than most.

This incident made Lin Dong unable to hold his head up in the village for a long time, and also made him ignore Chen Jiao for a while.

Chen Jiao knew that she had made Lin Dong lose face this time, so she humbled herself and tried to please Lin Dong carefully, and only then did she appease him.

After the Chinese New Year, Zhu Bin had to go back to continue his apprenticeship. He packed his bags and was reluctant to leave, but he had to leave.

The people in the village still have nothing to do. With the heavy snow and the freezing weather, there is nothing they can do except stay at home for the winter.

When Hu Yuwei's daughter was one month old, the Zheng family did not hold a full-month banquet. The explanation given to the public was that the child was too young and the weather was too cold, so they would wait until a hundred days later to hold the banquet.

Su Yan never visited her once. Instead, after Hu Yuwei finished her confinement, she came to visit the Zhu family with her daughter. Unfortunately, it was Zhu Zhen who opened the door. When he saw her, he didn't give her a good look. Knowing that she came to see Su Yan, Zhu Zhen directly said that Su Yan had gone to town.

Hu Yuwei didn't believe it and wanted to go in and talk to Su Yan.

Zhu Zhen seemed to be deliberately poking her in the heart and said, "My sister-in-law went to deliver something to my brother, and by the way, she picked up something her brother sent to her. I heard there were two big packages. I don't know what good things he sent to her this time."

After hearing this, Hu Yuwei stopped pestering and left with a bad look on her face.

Zhu Zhen looked at her back and spat.

Just now she saw the baby in Hu Yuwei's arms. The baby was so small, and she carried him out to hang around in such cold weather. She didn't feel sorry for the child at all.

Even though they were one meter apart, she could smell the rotten milk on the child. It had been a long time since she changed the child's clothes and washed him.

She dresses herself so beautifully, but she is not careful at all when raising a child.

Zheng Cheng has returned to work at the transport team, so it is Hu Yuwei's job to take care of the children.

This child smells bad, it must be because Hu Yuwei, as a mother, is too bad and doesn't change her daughter's clothes.

At first, she secretly laughed at Su Yan for not caring enough about her daughter. After all, she was a piece of flesh and blood, so how could he bear to let the child suffer.

Now it's her turn, and it's the same. Moreover, her situation is obviously better than Su Yan's back then. Her living conditions can obviously allow her to take better care of the child, but she just doesn't want to.

She always felt that others looked down on her for giving birth to a daughter, especially Zheng Cheng. She felt that Zheng Cheng had become cold towards her since she gave birth to a daughter.

She secretly vowed to give birth to a son to prove herself.
