Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 975: Chapter 972: Envying Them Yet Again

Xu Chunxia regretted greatly, but regret was of no use; the only path she could take now was to leave this home and seek a way out in the big city.

With her hands and feet intact and a bit of literacy, it shouldn’t be hard to survive in a big city.

Having made up her mind, Xu Chunxia felt she needed to quietly prepare for her departure.

She had already decided on her destination: to North City!

There, without mentioning others, just in the Team Leader’s family alone, there were several people. If she found herself in dire straits, she could ask them for help. Considering their hometown ties and being from the same village, even if just for the sake of face, they would help her.

Xu Chunxia’s thoughts were quite optimistic.

...

Before she knew it, it was New Year’s Eve. In the late afternoon, Cui the Loudspeaker finished her household chores and walked out of the yard. She saw Wang Chunhua standing at Li Daniu’s doorstep, talking to Li Daniu. Without thinking, she walked over to join them.

”Have you both finished your household chores?”

Cui the Loudspeaker casually asked Wang Chunhua and Li Daniu. In response, Wang Chunhua glanced at her and replied, ”Look at your question. If we hadn’t finished, would we be standing here chatting?!”

”Aren’t you cold?”

As she spoke, Cui the Loudspeaker looked at Li Daniu: ”Let’s sit on the kang in your house. There’s nothing going on now, and chatting while sitting in the warm bed would be much cozier.”

Li Daniu said, ”The kang in my house is full. Otherwise, would Chunhua and I be standing here talking?”

”What’s wrong with you all? You’re all so snappy today. What did I do to you? Seriously!”

Cui the Loudspeaker showed her displeasure and said, ”By the way, you wouldn’t happen to be talking about the Team Leader’s family, would you?”

Neither Wang Chunhua nor Li Daniu said a word.

”You definitely are. You’re probably, without realizing it, doing as you always do: admiring the Team Leader couple and didn’t expect me to come over and interrupt, so you snapped at me.”

Feeling she’d hit the mark, Cui the Loudspeaker couldn’t hide her smugness: ”Judging by your expressions, I’m probably right on the money. But think about it, what good does it do to be envious?!

Their children are smart, and their son’s kids are smart too. They’ve suddenly produced five college students. That’s not something ordinary people like us can envy.”

”Don’t act like a know-it-all. How do you know we are admiring the Team Leader couple?”

Li Daniu glared at Cui the Loudspeaker and snapped, ”Did you finish your chores at home?”

The implication being that if she hadn’t finished, she should quickly go back home and not interfere with their conversation.

Cui the Loudspeaker replied, ”If I hadn’t finished, would I be out here wandering around?!”

After a pause, Cui the Loudspeaker waved her hand and said, ”Alright, we’re not outsiders. Say whatever you want. You don’t need to worry about me being here.”

Wang Chunhua rolled her eyes and said to Li Daniu, ”I heard from Da Kuan that Educated Youth Yan’s father is indeed a big official from North City.”

”It seems very likely that in a few years the Team Leader’s whole family might relocate to North City.”

Li Daniu said with a tone full of envy, ”If that’s the case, it would be difficult for us to see the Team Leader’s whole family again!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunhua sighed, ”What can we do about it? They are capable; it’s just that our children and grandchildren are not.”

Cui the Loudspeaker said, ”On the 28th, as soon as I saw Educated Youth Yan’s father, I felt he wasn’t a simple man.”

”You’re great and all-seeing. We couldn’t tell on that day,”

Li Daniu retorted, leaving Cui the Loudspeaker unfazed. She said, ”Can we speak nicely? I sought you out because I think the three of us get along well, but don’t make it so that I can’t keep up.”
