Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Moving to Town (2)
Besides Ruan Hao who is studying at a university in Beidu, there are eight other boys in the Ruan Family, so when it cos to moving house, they don’t need help from anyone else. However, the villagers are honest folks, and since the weather is getting colder and there’s not much farm work to do, everyone spontaneously ca to lend a hand when they heard about it.
Hu Yun’s family doesn’t have extra land for a foundation, so the new building has to be erected on the original site, which ans tearing down the old house to lay a new foundation. With nowhere to stay, they borrowed the neighboring grocery store to live in temporarily.
When Hu Yun heard the neighbors talking about the Ruan Family moving house while she was having breakfast, she thought she was hallucinating. She hastily put down her chopsticks and asked, “Shuzhen, are you serious? The Ruan Family is moving to town?”
“Yeah, would I lie to you? I heard that their house in town is really expensive. Hey, we all co from the sa village, how did they suddenly beco so rich?” Ai Shuzhen sighed with envy as she looked at Hu Yun, then flattered her, “But your family is doing well too, soon you’ll be living in a nice building as well. Who knows when that will happen for my family – you surely are a lucky one.”
Casually raising a child could result in a ten thousand yuan windfall; this made countless families in the village green with envy.
Ten thousand yuan – a fortune many farrs have never seen in their entire life!
Hu Yun used to love hearing these flattering words, but now they left a different taste in her mouth.
So far, only three households in the village have buildings, and they all belong to mbers of the Ruan Family. She was finally about to have her mont in the lilight by moving into a building of her own, but now the Ruan Family was moving to town?
It was like she was always chasing after them, but could never catch up.
Moving to the town ant becoming city folks, completely different from them!
“Do you know where they’ve moved to?”
“I think it’s in the western side of the city, that area is pretty wealthy.”
In this era, many buildings are Tube Buildings, and there are only a few, like the Lu Family, who live in duplex buildings. In their eyes, those are the rich folks. Now that the Ruan Family has moved there too, they must have really made a good amount of money – they are real city people now.
“Isn’t that Ruan Jiaojiao too good at picking her birth? She was the only girl after so many boys, and she’s been pampered all her life. Now that they’re moving to the city, she will beco a city girl. Even her marriage prospects will be different. She really is born with a silver spoon, incomparable to the rest of us.”
In the countryside, even if a girl is doted on, when she grows up and marries, she will still end up with a countryman. A girl might live in leisure and be spoiled for a ti, but once married, it’s back to the sa toiling life, managing a household head to tail.
But being a city girl is different. They live in tall buildings, marry into families where there’s no need to toil over a small plot of land, completely free from the life of a farm girl – that’s the lifelong dream of so many won.
Hu Yun didn’t say a word, just pursed her lips, unable to eat anymore, she put down her chopsticks and turned to leave.
Watching her hurried departure, Ai Shuzhen spat behind her, rolled her eyes, and cheerfully returned to her house.
By the ti Hu Yun arrived at the Ruan’s place, many villagers were already there, helping to move things. Ruan Jiaojiao was sitting leisurely on the side, with a small table next to her, on which sat the breakfast prepared by the Ruanlin Family.
She ate at ease, sipping on milk while eating.
Rembering what Ai Shuzhen had said, Hu Yun felt a sourness in her heart, but as she approached, her face was full of smiles.
