Chapter 138: What am I jealous
138 Why am I jealous? "Mother, what do you care about others? Sister Jiuniang is right, you live your life by yourself. If people want to be envious, jealous, and hate, that's their business." Xia Dao didn't speak yet, aside , Xia Xiaoju, who was peeling bamboo shoots, raised her head and said something.
"Since Jiu Niang's family was poor in the past, people naturally wouldn't say anything. Now that her family has money, isn't she envied by others?"
Since you are envied by others, there are also some unpleasant remarks. Everyone has a mentality and can’t see the good of others.
"You girl, it's a good thing to say, you're the only one who is not jealous of Jiuniang?" Aunt Ji was amused by Xia Xiaoju's words.
However, what Xiaoju said was right. In the village, there are people who can't see others being better than themselves. Seeing how much money Jiuniang's family has, it's hard to die.
"Why am I jealous, Sister Jiuniang is good, can't I follow suit." In her heart, she wished that Sister Jiuniang's house would be better and better, and her family would be able to follow suit, right?
She lowered her head and glanced at the whip bamboo shoots in her hands. These bamboo shoots were still stained with Jiuniang's light.
She can dig up a lot every day now, soaking them into sour bamboo shoots according to Jiuniang's method, and eating them slowly later.
"Aji, Xiaoju is right, you live your life for yourself, why should you pay attention to what others say, let's do what you need to do." Xia Dao also said.
"That's what I said, but after all, Jiuniang is still a little girl, and it's been said so badly, how will she find her husband's family in the future?" Aunt Ji also has her own worries.
How can a man know that the mouths of those women are like sharp knives, capable of killing a living person.
"Aunt Ji, if you really meet that kind of man who only listens to other people's gossip, it's okay not to marry." Suddenly, Xia Beibei's voice came from outside.
A man who likes hearsay can be a good match for her Xia Beibei, as far as she goes.
"Yo, Jiuniang, why are you here?" As soon as Aunt Ji heard Xia Beibei's voice, she quickly stood up from the small stool and looked out the door.
Just in time, Xia Beibei also carried a basket into the house.
"It's not that An Zaicai brought several ducks to my house. Grandma didn't want to raise and waste food, so she killed them all. Let me send one to your house and try it out." Xia Beibei said directly.
"Juniang, why did you bring it back to us? That's not good. A duck is worth a lot of money." Xia Dao quickly rejected Xia Beibei's words.
How could his family want something from Xia Beibei?
"Why not, anyway, it's a duck that fell from the sky. Yesterday, the land was closed. Uncle Dao, you guys helped me and my grandma a lot. A duck, why are you being polite to me?"
"Sister Jiuniang, I'm not being polite to you. I haven't eaten duck meat for several years." Xia Xiaoju saw the duck, her eyes were bright.
The family originally kept five big white ducks, and they were going to kill one during the Chinese New Year, but who knew that there was a locust plague, my mother quickly took the ducks to the town and sold them before they were hungry and thin. , she didn't even catch duck feathers.
Now I see the big fat duck that is tender and tender, and my saliva is drooling.
"Sister Jiuniang, why did you bring two."
When she saw two ducks in the basket, she raised her head and asked Xia Beibei in confusion.
"The one I'm going to take for Grandma Jinxiu." Xia Beibei replied with a smile.
