Chapter 736: Chapter 736: You Really Know How to Comfort People
Even now, Eldest Sister-in-law Yun won’t admit that she was the one who signed Xiaoxiao up to go to the countryside.
She regrets how this little sister-in-law came back, and even returned as a university student.
Despite becoming one of the mud-legged peasants, she was still able to come back.
Now that she’s suddenly become a university student, she’s managed to get her two children into such good schools where they achieved double hundreds in their exams.
She’s also started an appliance store with partners, wears a down jacket, each costing over a hundred, some even more expensive, the equivalent of two months of her wages, which she can’t bear to spend.
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was unbearably jealous.
Xiaoxiao was aware that her eldest sister-in-law was just being polite for the sake of it.
"I can’t stay long anyway, the appliance store has to open for business on the sixth."
With those words, Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was choked up again.
Now the younger brother-in-law is making money with his store.
This little sister-in-law is making money too.
They both have two sons, yet they insist on being better than her own.
In the past, she thought they were better off because both she and her husband had jobs, while the little sister-in-law lived a life facing the loess.
"You could stay a few more days, spend more time here. Later, you can visit relatives with mom and dad. You don’t know, the relatives all know you got into university, and they have been talking about you."
This was true, but there were also those who watched for entertainment.
Especially after knowing that Xiaoxiao married into a rural family of mud-legged peasants, many had spoken ill of her behind her back. Of course, Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was the one who spread the word.
But after hearing from Second Brother Yun that Xiaoxiao and her husband had both been accepted into university, those relatives ceased to look down on Xiaoxiao.
"I wonder how many of my cousins have gotten into university?"
Second Brother Yun knew about this.
"When the college entrance examination was reinstated, many relatives said, with so many high school students in our family, how come no one took the college entrance exam? The first year, one cousin got in; she was lucky, having just graduated from high school and worked as a temporary worker for a few months without forgetting what she’d learned in high school, and got into a local university. In the following years, others also got into university one after another.
But little sister, rest assured, none of them did as well as you did; you got into Tsing University."
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun’s mouth twitched a few times, you really know how to comfort people. freewebnoveℓ.com
Why are the younger brother-in-law and little sister-in-law so close?
Why is he so protective of the little sister-in-law?
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was somewhat baffled.
Originally, Second Brother Yun had a good relationship with his younger sister Xiaoxiao. After being sent to the countryside for a few years and becoming an official worker, he would send Xiaoxiao things in the mail, if not every month, then at least once every two or three months.
Furthermore, when Xiaoxiao returned with her family, Second Brother Yun was always bustling about, helping out.
Relationships, whether familial or friendly, need to be maintained.
Mailing items back and forth can certainly bring people closer together.
"As long as they study hard, I believe my nieces and nephews can also do well, maybe even have the opportunity to study abroad someday?"
She didn’t understand much about some of the good universities in the country, and now there was talk of studying abroad?
"Study abroad?"
Second Brother Yun’s eyes lit up; he was eager to know what was different between domestic and foreign countries.
"The world is vast, with hundreds of other countries."
Hundreds of countries?
Foreign lands were so alien to them.
"It’s true, beyond our country there are many others, along with top universities in the world. If one works hard enough, it is possible to get accepted into these top institutions, to study and become alumni with many great figures and scientists."
Suddenly, Second Brother Yun felt his vision had been too narrow.
It would be good for the children to go out and see the world, not just live in this one city.
