Chapter 575 Contentment
What brotherhood? What brotherhood? Does she think she doesn't know?
These were all plays that his stepmother taught him to act in.
Seeing that Wang Jianjun was more successful than her own son, she sent her youngest son to curry favor with Wang Jianjun.
Thinking to himself, if Wang Jianjun really made a name for himself in the future, he would help Wang Jianguo out of consideration for their brotherhood.
Even after Wang Jianjun was admitted to university, his stepmother had planned to tie him up with a rope used for suffocating pigs, throw him into a cellar and lock him up for a few days, and then have Wang Jianguo rescue him.
They're applying to a military academy; how can we really stop them from enrolling?
If the person doesn't show up, the higher-ups will send someone to investigate the reason.
Regardless, what's done is done; she's pregnant, and there's no time to get an abortion.
Because Wang Jianjun will be back soon.
After discussing it, they decided to pin the blame on Wang Jianjun.
Now that there is a one-child policy, a couple can only have one child, and that child will inherit everything from Wang Jianjun.
They were terrified at first, but after thinking about this, the mother and son were actually happy.
It was from that time that her stepmother became kinder to her, but forbade her from seducing Wang Jianguo again.
Honestly, why did she seduce Wang Jianguo? It's clearly her shameless son who's the one who's the beast.
The stepmother probably realized that the man who had taken a virginity couldn't hold back, so she found a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for Wang Jianguo.
Whether before or after his new wife entered the family, Wang Jianguo never restrained himself; he was just more careful.
She only ended this absurd life when Wang Jianjun took her away.
But can we blame her?
Could she possibly resist?
It was not easy for her to even survive.
Blame Wang Jianjun for not accepting himself.
She's been married to him for many years.
If he had accepted her earlier and taken her out sooner, none of this would have happened.
At night, Fang Qing lay on the small bed made of wooden planks, wiping away tears.
She always felt that she had escaped a life of hardship and had long since run away from the mountains.
Compared to the other villagers in the mountains, she is now considered to be living a life of privilege.
But at this moment, she suddenly began to wonder if she had ever escaped at all.
……
"Fang Qing, I heard you moved to a new house?"
Fang Qing nodded.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Sister Zhao asked, "Are you not used to the new house? You don't look like you slept well."
Fang Qing forced a smile, "Yeah, I just moved there, and I'm not used to it yet."
"Sigh, that's how people are. Once you get used to one environment, it takes time to get used to a new one. You didn't sleep well, why don't you sit down and rest? There's not much work right now. You can come and help me when things get busier after the night market closes."
Fang Qing nodded and actually sat down to rest.
Looking up, I saw Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao coming out of the bookstore across the street.
These days, she sees Fu Huaiyi and Lin Yuyao going home together every day. It seems like Fu Huaiyi picks Lin Yuyao up and drops her off from get off work every day, acting like he's protecting her, which makes her extremely jealous.
She couldn't understand why Lin Yuyao was so lucky.
The men she met were all outstanding, and each one was tall and handsome.
Fu Huaiyi's family background is alright; compared to these people, they don't even live in the same social class.
He was the only male in the Fu family, and it was important that Fu Huaiyi treated him so well.
She just couldn't understand why Lin Yuyao had any special privileges.
"Fang Qing, what are you looking at?"
Fang Qing stared ahead, her eyes filled with venom.
I thought to myself, "You're doing so well, why do you still want to take revenge on me? Do you have to drive someone to their death?"
Sister Zhao's voice brought her back to reality.
She shifted her gaze from Lin Yuyao and Fu Huaiyi in the distance and said indifferently, "It's nothing."
Sister Zhao looked suspiciously at the people in the distance, then at Fang Qing.
She hadn't missed Fang Qing's frightening look just now.
"Fang Qing, don't do anything foolish."
Fang Qing: "..."
"Sister Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about? What foolish thing could I do?"
"It's good that you think that way." She glanced at the people in the distance again and continued, "I know you and Boss Lin are from the same place. You both used to like the same man. Now that you see her doing well, but you can only sweep the streets here, you feel unbalanced. Well, that's normal. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't feel unbalanced either."
She pointed at the people driving on the street and said, "Look at all of them, driving cars worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. They're all people, so why are they so rich while I can only sweep the streets? It's normal to think like that sometimes. We're not saints, it's only human to feel envious and jealous."
Fang Qing found Zhao's statement quite novel and asked her, "Do you know anyone who used to be similar to you, or even worse off than you, but later became better off than you?"
"Yes, of course there is. Let's not talk about the distant past, let's not talk about the girl next door to my parents' house. When we were little, we went to the river to wash clothes together every day, cut pig feed together, and got beaten and scolded together. If you want to say who's better, her family is poorer than mine, her family is more sexist than mine, and she's not as good-looking as me. She's definitely not as good as me."
But she's just lucky. She married a man with a conscience, and her in-laws, feeling sorry for her family's mistreatment of her, treat her like their own daughter. More than ten years ago, her in-laws weren't as well-off as mine, but now they're doing much better. The whole family works together, she and her husband have succeeded in their business, they bought a huge new house, and their child is doing well in school, so she doesn't have to worry about anything. Their life is so much better than mine.
Are you jealous?
"Jealousy, envy and jealousy, as I just said, we are not saints, it is only human nature to feel jealousy and envy."
"Then you..." Fang Qing wanted to ask if she would do anything, but felt it was difficult to say it out loud.
That's all the shame she has left. Even if she didn't say anything, Sister Zhao could guess it.
Sister Zhao laughed and said, "You want to ask me if I would sabotage it, right? You're overthinking it. No matter how envious or jealous I am, I would never sabotage anything. Their business is doing quite well now, and they've made a lot of money. Occasionally when I go back to my parents' house and run into her, she'll give my child a big red envelope."
Everyone has their own destiny; you can't try to ruin someone else's life just because they're doing well. There are plenty of people in this world who are better off than me. I may envy or be jealous of them, but I can't go and ruin their lives.
“But that’s different. The people on the street who are doing well are strangers, but the person next door to you used to be worse off than you.”
Sister Zhao sighed, shook her head with a smile, and said, "You're getting stuck in a rut. I may not be as good as her, but I'm not bad either. My children are all grown up, and my in-laws are practically dead."
I have a stable job, and I'll be able to retire in a few years. My life can't compare to some of the wealthiest people, but it's better than many in this world, right? Think about the women back in your hometown; aren't there plenty of them who aren't as well-off as I am?"
