Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Second Aunt was very happy.

However, one sentence from Song Qiushui broke Second Aunt's composure: "Second Aunt, look at what you're saying. Then me and Chai Mi going out to do some work, must we be scheming for something? Chai Mi's days aren't good either, not even two hundred yuan salary a month, and she's not a teacher or anything... but Chai Mi's been pretty capable lately, me and her went out to set up a stall, that stuff sold like hotcakes. Then yesterday the two of us discussed it, she sells dumplings, then I'll sell something else. So I cut up a few pickled vegetable bits at home... sold them, earned a bit of hard-earned money, not too much. Today just earned your son-in-law twenty-some days' wages."

As she spoke, Song Qiushui also pulled a huge pile of loose change from her pocket and dumped it onto the kang.

Because her pickled vegetables were all sold for one yuan or fifty cents, she collected nothing but loose change.

In this era one yuan was a red small note, a huge pile of them.

And there were quite a few oil stains on the money, it was very obvious it really was collected when selling things.

The facts were laid out here, Song Qiushui really had earned money.

Second Aunt was momentarily speechless... Song Qiushui's words were infuriating, but Second Aunt also couldn't lower herself to Song Qiushui's level.

After all, Song Qiushui's words being unpleasant to hear wasn't just a day or two.

This matter of Song Qiushui's words not sounding nice, at minimum had to be traced back to the seventies, starting from when Song Qiushui learned to speak...

This child, from a young age had no big no small.

Song Qiushui put this huge pile of loose change on the kang, and also had Meng Clan count it, exactly how much money.

Meng Clan first feigned anger and scolded Song Qiushui once: "You child, how do you talk to your Second Aunt?"

Then immediately said: "Her Second Aunt, don't take it to heart. The child is still young... taking it to heart is useless, she can't change it anymore either."

Second Aunt was numb to the point of almost being unfeeling: Er... Meng Clan's this sentence was really superfluous...

Purely meant to anger people.

Then Song Qiushui mother and daughter just counted money in the room like this, Second Aunt sitting wasn't right, leaving wasn't right.

Could it be stay here, help Song Qiushui count money, then wait for Song Qiushui to deliberately make things difficult for herself?

So, Second Aunt's old face flushed red: "Qiu Shui, I'll help you count too. Your mom doesn't know numbers..."

Song Qiushui smiled awkwardly, Meng Clan indeed didn't know numbers, she herself learned in school early and it was all just for eating rice.

"Aiya... Second Aunt's words are right. Then you count, you see how much money. All earned today."

Second Aunt beamed with joy, thinking she had won back a round.

Result Song Qiushui immediately said: "Second Aunt, your granddaughter really knows numbers, in high school... today me and Chai Mi went into the city, ran into her. She ah..."

Second Aunt's expression obviously froze: "What happened to her? Not studying properly anymore?"

"Not just not studying properly, she's also dating." Although Song Qiushui knew that simp wasn't Chai Min's boyfriend, this didn't hinder Song Qiushui from adding fuel to the fire and saying a mouthful about Chai Min: "Of course, Second Aunt look, Chai Min's age isn't small either, reached the time for romance. But, me as her aunt, this matter I must vet. Chai Min looks good, although riddled with illness, but not gynecological disease... she also counts as a dogtail flower. That also can't be because anxious to find a boyfriend, just find some crooked melon cracked date..."

"Er..."

"Ah..."

"That man Chai Min brought... aiya." Song Qiushui grinned: "That looks really extraordinarily strange. Height not as tall as Chai Min, but horizontally wider than Chai Min, face full of big pimples, big head thick neck, body hairy all over, I thought a gorilla jumped out of the wild, scared me scorching."

Second Aunt's complexion immediately turned bad... counting money also couldn't count clearly.

"Twenty-six... forty-eight... ah! This Chai Min! Really doesn't give me peace of mind!!!" Second Aunt was furious: "Precisely the time for studying, what dating!!!"

Song Qiushui patted Second Aunt's shoulder: "Second Aunt, don't be angry. This also can't all be blamed on Chai Min... Chai Min is still a child..."

Second Aunt's complexion slightly better.

Song Qiushui followed closely: "This matter actually blames you..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Meng Clan scolded.

"How does it blame me?" Second Aunt displeased.

"Look, if you hadn't believed Chai You Fu back then, there wouldn't be Chai Min. That Chai Min's days at home are bitter... after all my that brother-in-law only two hundred yuan salary a month. Then Chai Min has to consider earning money to subsidize household... she still studies, can only date..."

Second Aunt almost flew into a rage, but Meng Clan hurriedly scolded Song Qiushui and drove her out.

Then comforted Second Aunt: "Her Second Aunt don't be angry. Song Qiushui's words are just this virtue, mouth has no gate, these years you also know. Although she says unpleasant things, but also for your good. Why doesn't she go out and say it?"

Second Aunt bewildered: Wo cao! This kind of thing also go out and say? Despise my family not losing enough face?!

Going out would be too excessive!!!

"Ai..."

Then Meng Clan continued persuading: "Her Second Aunt, furthermore, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Qiu Shui came back why didn't she say Chai Mi dating? That definitely is Chai Min herself has problem. Although child small, doesn't understand matters, but dating this kind of thing, you must have some rules, that's absolutely not allowed!"

Song Qiushui's Second Aunt was a bout of crooked mouth, almost became Crooked Mouth War God.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't have meaning to complain about Qiu Shui. I'm just angry... you say how did I end up with such a son-in-law..."

Song Qiushui had already walked outside, she felt refreshed in spirit. These years letting Second Aunt nag about owing money not repaying, the pent-up frustration, finally after eighteen years vented out in one breath.

Song Qiushui returned to her own room prepared a big megaphone, prepared to publicize to the fellow villagers, earn money.

Just arrived at courtyard entrance, Song Qingshan put that tree into the courtyard to hide it, just rested a bit, saw Song Qiushui wanted to go out, hand still holding big megaphone, puzzled asked: "Going to do what?"

"Dad, I tell you. I earned over a hundred yuan right, then I can't be the former Song Qiushui! I've already ushered in a new spring..."

"Hiss..." Song Qingshan gasped: "No... daughter, whether you usher in new spring or not not important, problem is noon meal, you take megaphone going to do what? In a bit let your mom cook, eat delicious food."

"No... don't I have to publicize? This life first time earning money, and earned this much! I earned money, I still live low-key like before, how can that work? So-called returning home in glory, now I'm successful, I can't show off a bit?" Song Qiushui said tsundere-ly.

Song Qingshan a bout of dumbfounded: No... this also isn't earning ten thousand yuan, this one hundred yuan makes daughter go crazy?

Hiss...

I only have this one daughter!

Must absolutely not go crazy!

Song Qingshan then as if possessed reached out and touched Song Qiushui's forehead.

Hmm, forehead's not hot, everything's normal.

Song Qingshan let out a "yi": Not sick at all? If not sick, then it's purely money to burn?

One hundred yuan burned the daughter into arrogance?

Song Qingshan's face full of shame: It's all because this dad has no ability, daughter earns one hundred yuan and turns out like this, if she earned one million, wouldn't she go crazy!

"Qiu Shui, let's not go publicize this outside. Makes it look like something's up. Look at Chai Mi, she earns way more than you, haven't seen her going around telling people."

Song Qingshan persuaded earnestly.

But, Song Qiushui was impervious to reason: "No way. She is she, I am I. I want to live a different life, I want to live a different kind of fireworks, I, Song Qiushui, want to be the vanguard of the era, the pride of Sanjiacun!"

Song Qingshan said helplessly: "Daughter, do you want to reconsider? People say wealth shouldn't be exposed, you earn a bit of money, the whole world knows, your Second Uncle definitely knows too, what if he asks you for famine relief, what then?"

Song Qiushui had just been high-spirited, hearing this she immediately wilted: "Actually forgot about this matter."

Then Song Qiushui rushed back into the room in a panic, took the money back, only then went out the door.

Song Qingshan frowned: So it wasn't fear of her Second Uncle knowing... thought Qiu Shui had "turned over a new leaf".

But, since Song Qiushui wanted to go, as a dad he couldn't control her, could only trot along behind, afraid some fool would beat Song Qiushui up...

Song Qiushui holding the megaphone, went onto the street.

"Attention attention, Old Song Family's child Song Qiushui, started a business today, earned one hundred twenty-six yuan."

The village loudspeaker looped these few sentences, from Village East to Village West...

Villagers directly stunned: There's this kind of operation? Afraid she's not crazy, right!

However, the big fellows all know Song Qiushui's character.

Crazy is definitely not crazy, at most just a bit arrogant.

Problem is Song Qiushui deliberately ran to Chai Min's doorway to shout the megaphone, afraid Chai Min's dad and mom wouldn't hear.

"Certain people attention, certain people attention. Old Song Family's precious daughter Song Qiushui, started business today earned one hundred twenty-six yuan... two days earns more than certain people's monthly salary of two hundred yuan... you say infuriating or not..."

Song Qingshan's mouth twitched, hurriedly pulled Song Qiushui back toward home.

Song Qiushui wouldn't walk, sat there shouting.

Actually, Song Qiushui and that cousin sister Song Qiuping's relationship was pretty good, but today Chai Min for no reason retorted at Song Qiushui twice, Song Qiushui naturally unhappy. This dignified aunt, talked back to by Chai Min, she as an elder, endurable, what's unendurable.

Although Song Qiushui forgot what Chai Min said, that's not important.

What's important is, giving Chai Min some eye drops for no reason.

Song Qiushui shouting like this, Song Qiuping inside the house happened to be home, she was so angry fire flared three zhang, about to rush out and argue with Song Qiushui: Our family's man earns two hundred yuan a month is a bit less, so what if it's less, did we eat your family's rice?

Chai You Fu also at home, hurriedly stopped Song Qiuping: "What you going for? Song Qiushui's just like that, what you arguing with her for? Whole village who doesn't know Song Qiushui's always been mentally not too good..."

"Who the fuck said that? I see the most clear-headed is her Song Qiushui. Looks like nothing better to do than find fault! She publicizes like this, where do you put my face?"

Chai You Fu actually doesn't hold grudges.

If this were Chai Mi saying it, Chai You Fu would definitely be angry, even furious.

But Song Qiushui saying it, then whatever.

Anyway can't afford to provoke Song Qiushui, and Song Qiushui that person everyone acknowledges as big-hearted and carefree, purely someone stirring trouble behind the scenes, and no need to guess, it's Chai Mi doing it.

"Song Qiushui this firecracker, one look and it's Chai Mi behind the scenes packing medicine for her. Otherwise how could she do this? You go out now and fight Song Qiushui... won't let people watch a joke. Besides her dad's still following behind... you go out can't argue either. You say one thing, Song Qingshan will definitely come back with: child's still young..."

Indeed, one sentence "child's still young", would drain Song Qiuping dry.

Don't look at Song Qiushui being eighteen, but in Song Qingshan's eyes, no difference from eight.

So, Chai You Fu feels: endure a moment calm winds still waves, step back sea wide sky high.

Just this kind of feeling.

Mainly just can't argue this matter clear. What if Song Qiuping goes out to fight, Song Qiushui comes back with: Don't make trouble, I fucking said certain people, did I name names?

Then the unreasonable one becomes oneself instead.

Although whole village even a rat knows Song Qiushui's veiled insults are aimed at Chai You Fu...

But Chai You Fu very obviously wants to "stay out of it" alone.

Sure enough, about the same as Chai You Fu's premonition.

Song Qiushui shouted outside for a few minutes, tired then left.

That side Song Qiushui went back.

And Chai You Fu's mother-in-law and father-in-law came to the door.

Head-on face-full scolded Chai You Fu a round...

Saying Chai You Fu is nothing, earns two hundred yuan a month, caused Chai Min to date, not doing proper work...

Song Qiushui holding megaphone, shouted until voice hoarse, then went home.

Got home discovered Chai Mi leaning against Kang Tou, playing with an apple, seeing Song Qiushui return, Chai Mi rolled eyes at Song Qiushui: "You not tired? Taking megaphone out to shout what?"

"I this isn't standing up for you?" Song Qiushui let out a "qie".

"Alright, small matter. Can't be bothered arguing with Chai Min. Chai Min that person..." Chai Mi actually also didn't know how to evaluate.

Chai Mi feels Chai Min very weird, she acts pitiful, but bones seem to look down on everyone, problem is she can't do anything.

Quite a kind of high-eyed low-handed waste person, self-important pure, but life thinner than paper.

Bit of a villain's mascot feeling, similar to pig teammate... opponent's pig teammate.

This kind of person, must live well.

"As long as Chai Min's there, my Second Uncle doesn't dare how to mess around. Actually pretty good." Chai Mi speaks truth: "If my Second Uncle didn't have Chai Min, estimated he not much stronger than Chai Lao San."

"Ay, right. That Chai Lao San sent Chai Zhongxiao inside, you what attitude nothing is several meanings?" Song Qiushui a bit puzzled.

This matter past two or three days, Chai Mi zero reaction.

She was neither unhappy nor particularly excited.

It was just like any ordinary matter; everything seemed to have nothing to do with her.

"Doesn't matter. The time hasn't come yet..." Chai Mi smiled faintly. "Chai Lao San is also waiting for me to show my hand, but I simply won't. I'll just wait for Chai Lao San to be unable to hold back his anger."

Chai Mi actually already had a plan in mind: just wait for Chai Youde and Che Lianyun, that couple, to drive Wang Huirong out with a mix of beating and cursing. When the time comes, Chai Mi will go to the Detention Center to bail Chai Zhongxiao out, and let them tear each other apart.

Watching the excitement is so much better, and she doesn't even have to step in herself.

Chai Mi originally still wanted to maneuver things herself, but the opponent was too pathetic, specially delivering their heads to her door; with this kind of free win, Chai Mi played it easy and leisurely.
