Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1729: Chapter 1315: Missed Opportunity

Li Daniu: ”Chunxia walks with her waist swinging like a water snake.”

”She even swings her ass!”

Another woman added to Li Daniu’s comment.

”That girl Chunxia talks like she’s squeezing her throat, sounds weird.”

Another woman chipped in.

”Now you know, eh? That Chunxia girl probably isn’t doing honest work out there.”

Cui Big Mouth said meaningfully, ”If you ask me, she’s probably someone’s mistress.”

”What?”

Li Daniu widened her eyes: ”Aunt Cui, you’re just guessing, right?”

”Yeah, I am, but Chunxia’s way of walking and talking, not a bit like she’s working a proper city job.”

Cui Big Mouth continued, paused for a second, then said, ”Think about how Li Bao talks and walks with us, you’ll see if what I’m saying makes sense.”

Wang Chunhua: ”Li Bao hasn’t changed all these years. When she sees us aunties, she always greets us with a smile, and her voice is still as gentle and sweet as before, so pleasant to hear!”

Li Daniu: ”Li Bao walks like a fairy, dignified and proper, never swings around.”

”I just thought of a word—right now Chunxia is like a fox spirit, totally different from how she used to be in the village!”

A woman suddenly clapped her hands, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously.

”Yeah, Chunxia really is like a fox spirit.”

”Do you think Chunxia’s mom knows what Chunxia is doing out there?”

”We’d have to ask to find out.”

As for who to ask, it’s obviously Chunxia’s mother.

”Birds of a feather flock together—Chunwang and Chunlai both married wives, one more seductive than the next, and those from the Xu Family, they were just as flirty when young.”

”Now that I think about it, it’s true!”

”Tsk! If Chunxia is really someone’s mistress out there, their family’s reputation will be ruined again!”

”If you ask me, Chunyu, Chunmei, and Chunxiang are all decent, those three sisters are totally different from the rest of the Xu Family.”

Chunyu, full name Xu Chunyu, is the eldest daughter of the Xu Family.

Chunmei and Chunxiang are the fourth and sixth daughters.

”Speaking of which, Chunyu is the most pitiful among her four sisters!”

A woman sighed.

”They treat their daughters like nothing, only care about money. That husband and wife from the Xu Family are heartless—after Chunyu got married, her life is more bitter than yellow lotus. Sigh! It’s fate! She just happened to be born to those parents.”

”Who says otherwise?!”

”Chunmei and Chunxiang help out their big sister.”

”I’ve heard about that too.”

”Oh right, my daughter Cai Xiu said that Chunmei, Chunxiang, and their big sister Chunyu all got jobs in Li Bao’s factory—looks like Chunyu’s days will only get better from here!”

”How come my daughter-in-law never mentioned that?”

”Your daughter-in-law’s only been in your family a couple years. She probably doesn’t even know Chunyu, and isn’t close with Chunmei and Chunxiang. It’s no surprise she doesn’t know a thing.”

Just then another woman said, ”Those two daughters-in-law from the Xu Family went to the job recruitment—neither got picked. Lately, when the sisters-in-law walk around the village, it’s like everyone owes them a hundred eighty bucks.”

...

The Xu mother and the Xu Family naturally don’t know about all this gossip.

Right now, Xu mother just walked into the yard and saw Xu Chunxia dragging her two big suitcases out of the main house. She couldn’t help but ask, ”You’re leaving?”

”If I don’t go work, who’ll give me money?”

Xu Chunxia tossed back at Xu mother casually.

”Can’t you talk nicely?”

Xu mother frowned, her face gloomy.

”Oh, I’d like to, but tell me, how have you all treated me since I came home?”

Xu Chunxia stopped three steps away from Xu mother and said, ”One after another, all sticking out their hands begging for money from me, making me feel like a bank. If you can’t get money, all I eat is sweet potato corn porridge and pickled greens every day. Look at my face, what’s it turned into?”

She pointed at her own face, disgusted, and said, ”When I first came back, my skin was great. Now it’s dull and rough. Enough, not gonna argue more, I have to hurry to Kang Li Bao’s house.”

Xu mother: ”You planning to hitch a ride with Li Bao?”

”Only a fool would turn down a freebie.”

Xu Chunxia ignored Xu mother, dragged her big suitcase and kept going.

”Li Bao’s already left, probably at the town by now.”

Watching Xu Chunxia about to reach the gate, Xu mother said. On hearing this, Xu Chunxia stopped, turned around: ”Gone?”

”Gone.”

Xu mother was expressionless, she said: ”You’re not young anymore. Why not listen to your mom—stop running around, I’ll get a matchmaker to find you a marriage, you get married and have kids, live a good life.”

”Get married and have kids, live a good life? Looks to me you just want to sell me for a big price!”

Xu Chunxia sneered: ”You still don’t get it, I’m not who I used to be. You can’t boss me around. Want me to listen and get married? You keep dreaming!”

With that, Xu Chunxia stepped on her heels, dragging the suitcase, walked out the gate without looking back.

No free ride? She can just buy her own train ticket.

”Gone?”

Xu mother entered the main room, and bumped right into a question from Xu father.

”Mm.”

Sitting down on a little stool, Xu mother said, ”I told her not to go out again, but that damn girl won’t listen.”

”Wings have grown, let her be!”

Xu father said, pointing at fifty yuan on the table: ”Take it.”

”That damn girl gave it?”

Xu mother asked.

Xu father nodded, didn’t say much.

”That damn girl’s a heartless wolf. I carried her to term, raised her with all that shit and piss, and now she won’t listen to us and marry properly—instead she sent us to the police and ran off.

She doesn’t come back for years. When she does, she acts all high and mighty. Tell me, what kind of sin did we commit to have a kid like that?!”

Xu mother was so angry her eyes went red. She turned away, wiped her eyes, and continued, ”I favored Chunwang and Chunlai, but I never starved or froze the girls. And now, every one of them looks at me like I’m their enemy—as if they wish I wasn’t their mother. What family has daughters with such cold hearts?”

Xu father listened to her rant, head down, smoking his pipe, saying nothing.

...

”Chunxia, you’re going to the city to keep working?”

Seeing Xu Chunxia drag two big suitcases over, the women who were talking went silent right away. Cui Big Mouth smiled, raised her voice and asked her.

”Mm.”

Xu Chunxia nodded.

Cui Big Mouth: ”Easy to find work in the city?”

”It’s okay.”

Xu Chunxia replied, but did not stop walking, clearly with no intention to chit-chat with Cui Big Mouth or the others.

”I bet that girl’s trying to hitch a ride with Li Bao, but Li Bao already left. She’ll have to buy her own ticket to the city, otherwise her face wouldn’t look so sullen!”
