Chapter 160: Female Educated Youth Night Chapter Li Hongzao Complains about Liu Gui
Making clothes at night consumed a lot of candles and was also tiring for the eyes, so the two of them only worked during the day and went to bed early at night.
Hearing the sound of talking next door, Wang Na nudged Ma Lanzhi and said, "Lanzhi, listen! Xing Fangcao went to see Han Mei again! I'm wondering why she still cares about Han Mei..."
Ma Lanzhi turned over and muttered softly, "Why bother with her! Didn't you notice that she's completely changed since she came back this time? How do you say that? Oh~ so gloomy."
"Is this how yin aura is used?" Wang Na asked with a frown.
Ma Lanzhi rolled her eyes and replied, "Don't worry about whether my words are correct or not. Just tell me, is she like that?"
Ma Lanzhi always felt that Xing Fangcao's eyes made her very uncomfortable! Xing Fangcao obviously hated her, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic. It was so fake!
Wang Na nodded and said, "That's true! Hey~ When will she move out... Or, at least find us a new house!"
"Just bear with it!" Ma Lanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I'll make a hairband for Shuning with scraps of cloth. Shuning is pretty, and if someone sees it and wants it, they'll definitely come to us to buy it."
"Your mind is all about business!" Wang Na sighed. "That's just catching up with today's society. If you were born a few decades earlier, you would definitely be a businessman!"
Ma Lanzhi lowered her voice and said, "I wish I could be a businessman! Calculate how much money we have made since we bought this sewing machine.
I've already made back the money I paid for the sewing machine, and even made a little over a hundred bucks! If we split it in half, it'll still be a couple dozen bucks!
Even if we work hard for a year, the brigade still can't give us that much money! But we have to keep a low profile and not get caught."
"Whoosh..."
"Wang Na?"
"Whoosh..."
Ma Lanzhi rolled her eyes and complained, "You're so careless, you fell asleep so quickly..."
Wang Na was bold, and Li Hongzao was even bolder! Zhao Yanhong couldn't stand it anymore and kept asking her, "Hongzao, did Liu Gui drive you crazy?
Ever since he and Han Mei got their marriage certificate, you've been grinning every day. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were going to marry Liu Gui!"
"Who wants to marry him?" Li Hongzao wiped her feet and climbed onto the kang, saying disdainfully, "A man like him is only worthy of marrying Han Mei! He'll have his day in the future..."
"Hey? Why, you changed your mind so quickly?"
"Tsk~ I, Li Hongzao, would never do something like that, thinking about someone else's man~ Besides, Yanhong, you're right, Liu Gui and I are not the same kind of people."
Zhao Yanhong smiled ambiguously and asked quietly, "Hongzao, tell me the truth, are you attracted to Pi Hongliang?"
The room was dark and Li Hongzao didn't say a word.
Zhao Yanhong knew Li Hongzao's character too well. If there was really nothing going on between her and Pi Hongliang, she wouldn't be so silent. She would have stood up and refuted her long ago!
"Yo yo yo~ Even a blockhead like that can open his eyes one day? Hahaha~"
Li Hongzao covered her head with the quilt and said in embarrassment, "Hey, don't laugh at me!"
"Hahaha……"
Zhao Yanhong would never listen to Li Hongzao. If she doesn't laugh now, when will she laugh?
Zhao Yanhong joked, "Who complained that Comrade Pi Hongliang was too clingy? Who said they didn't like Pi Hongliang? Oh! Let me think about it..."
Li Hongzao hid in the quilt, her face flushed with shame. She knew Zhao Yanhong's laughter was getting louder and louder. She bit her lip, threw back the quilt, and said angrily, "It's me! It's me, okay?"
Zhao Yanhong knew she was annoyed, and said with a smile: "I'm just teasing you~ Don't be angry! Hongzao, I'm very optimistic about you and Pi Hongliang. You two are a perfect match!"
Pi Hongliang told you from the beginning that he only likes you, and he won't be discouraged even if you ignore him. He's nothing like Liu Gui, who keeps you hanging, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Li Hongzao lay back in bed and whispered, "I heard from Hongliang that Han Mei and Liu Gui asked for a thick quilt and a new cotton-padded jacket when they got married.
Liu Gui originally didn't want to date Han Mei because she stole things from Wang Na and the others, but after they talked it out, Liu Gui felt that it wouldn't cost much, so..."
"Ah? Liu Gui has to plan for marriage too?" Zhao Yanhong was a little surprised, but quickly accepted it: "That's right! Liu Gui has to plan even for dating, let alone something as big as marriage!
In his eyes, women like us are not people who can live a good life. Let him live his life! I want to see what kind of life they can have together..."
Li Hongzao pulled the pillow over to Zhao Yanhong and squeezed over, saying in a flattering tone, "Yanhong, don't tell anyone else about Hongliang and I dating!"
"Why?" Zhao Yanhong asked back, "If it were me, I would tell everyone immediately if we were together! Let Liu Gui see for himself that I can still live without him!"
"I didn't want Hongliang to misunderstand." Li Hongzao explained softly, "We confirmed our relationship just before Liu Gui and Han Mei said they wanted to get married.
If I tell others so quickly, it will seem like I knew Liu Gui was going to get married and deliberately agreed to Hong Liang to piss Liu Gui off.
I made it clear to Hongliang that I agreed to date him because I liked him, and it had nothing to do with Liu Gui! I'll let everyone know after some time."
Zhao Yanhong asked curiously, "When do you plan to get married?"
"There's no rush to get married!" Li Hongzao said, "We're just dating, and we need to get to know each other better."
Zhao Yanhong teased, "How else can I know? Pi Hongliang knows your habits and preferences better than you do."
"I don't know him well enough!" Li Hongzao said with a smile, "When two people are together, it won't last long if you expect one person to always give.
I should also understand Hongliang's preferences and habits! I am serious about him, so of course I have to get to know him well.
Besides, my family doesn’t know I’m dating yet! I plan to tell them after the New Year.”
Zhao Yanhong sighed, "Liu Gui doesn't even know what a wonderful girl he's missed! If he knew, he'd definitely regret it..."
Li Hongzao rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care if he regrets it later! Anyway, I don't regret not marrying Liu Gui at all."
Zhao Yanhong said, "You say, they're getting married, but why haven't they bought anything yet? I see Han Mei hasn't even bought a red headscarf, let alone a thermos or a washbasin."
"They didn't even buy wedding candy!" Li Hongzao replied, "I heard from Hongliang that Liu Gui only bought half a pound of brown sugar. When the time comes, each person will have a bowl of brown sugar water, which will replace the wedding candy!
The reason they waited to get married during the Chinese New Year was because they heard from the villagers that if they could catch a wild boar, the village would provide a meal at the end of the year. They planned to get a free meal!
"Tsk tsk—" Zhao Yanhong sighed, "Liu Gui and Han Mei are just as worthy of their name! Birds of a feather flock together, and they're both so stingy."
