Chapter 314: One Note
Ji Chu crossed his arms over his chest and said, "That's right, the technical secondary schools back then were not comparable to the technical secondary schools now."
"Since Tian Yushu is well-educated, well-informed, and fashionably dressed, when he courted Aunt Cheng, she agreed immediately."
The incident from that year was brought up again, causing Cheng Aihua's cheeks to heat up: "Master, what you said is all right, but what does it have to do with the ghost money that Gao Cui stuffed into the gift money for me?"
Ji Chu: "The most promising son of the Tian family married you. Even though Tian Youniu is not too bad, Gao Cui still feels a little disappointed."
"It seems like you have had a good relationship over the years, but actually, ever since you married Tian Yushu and Tian Youniu respectively, she has been secretly dissatisfied in her heart, wondering why you are so lucky."
[Good fellow, the seeds of jealousy were planted decades ago. ]
Ji Chu continued, "Since Gao Cui and Aunt Cheng married different men, your relatively equal social status has also changed."
"Tian Yushu's workplace is in the city. You were newlyweds, and after you had your wedding in your hometown, you followed him to the city."
"Originally, Aunt Cheng, you planned to stay at home and take good care of your husband, but Tian Yushu almost had three meals a day at work, and you were bored staying at home, so you found a job at the post office helping people mail letters."
"At that time, most people were still farming. Tian Youniu was just like his name, working hard in the fields every day. As his wife, Gao Cui could only be with him."
"So when the news that you, Aunt Cheng, were appreciated by your superiors and became a formal employee because of your warm service and patience in helping illiterate elderly people to mail letters spread back home, Gao Cui's jealousy towards you reached a new height."
[Wow, now I seem to understand why a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado.]
[Everyone had the same starting point at first, but it was because Tian Yushu was lucky and got a nice name that everything that happened later was possible.]
[If his name had not changed and he continued to be called Sweet Corn, he would have been laughed at at school.]
[Yes, some taunting is unbearable even for adults, let alone children. If Tian Yushu was called Tian Yumi and without the teacher's special care, I don't believe he would still have the energy to study seriously.]
【So, it’s all fate. 】
[If that's the case, then Aunt Cheng and Gao Cui also have the same fate. They started out the same, but ended up in completely different situations.]
[But this is not something that humans can resist. We are now standing in the perspective of God. At that time, Aunt Cheng and Gao Cuike did not know that the future development of society would be so great, right? ]
Ji Chu: "Yes, as the next generation slowly rises, the gap between Aunt Cheng and Gao Cui is getting bigger and bigger."
"At the same time, Gao Cui felt increasingly disappointed. She found that she couldn't compete with her husband back then, and later with her children."
"Aunt Cheng's son went to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school in the city, while her two children could only go to the countryside. Education in the city is completely different from that in the countryside. Moreover, Tian Yushu relied on studying to rise from a peasant to his current status. He knows the importance of studying, so he is very strict with his son."
Cheng Aihua: "Yes, Master is right. My husband is indeed very strict with my son, but he is not an ungrateful person. He tries his best to help his brothers' children as long as they are willing to study."
"Although Gao Cui was not as lucky as me in getting married, her son and daughter were later sent to a key high school and a good university by my husband. Now they have good jobs too. What is she unbalanced about?"
Ji Chu: "The key point is that it was your husband who helped. Gao Cui is a person with a strong sense of self-esteem. In her eyes, the help you provide is actually no different from charity."
[It sounds magical, but there are too many people like this in reality. 】
[Yes, I had a roommate like this before. Despite the family planning policy, her family insisted on having 4 children. She was the middle child. She was very sensitive and it was very tiring to get along with her. If you ignored her, she would say you looked down on her. If you paid attention to her, she would say you were teasing her like a kitten or a puppy. It was simply unbearable.]
Ji Chu continued, "There were many similar incidents afterwards, until Tian Youniu had a stroke. Aunt Cheng, your son helped him contact his teacher, a specialist who was particularly good at treating strokes."
"Thanks to the timely treatment by experts, Tian Youniu has survived. Although he walks unsteadily now, he can take care of himself completely."
[Even now, Gao Cui wouldn't have remembered Aunt Cheng again, right? ]
Ji Chu nodded: "Yes, she has been in the countryside for many years, and her thinking has been stagnant. Just like many people, after hearing your major, they blindly guess what you do. She thinks that her son and daughter obviously have a good job, so why can't they be like Aunt Cheng's son, who can call an old doctor with just one phone call."
"But she didn't think about the fact that Aunt Cheng's son was able to call the old doctor because he studied pharmacy and was once the old doctor's student, so he has a good relationship with the old doctor."
"And her son and daughter, one is a programmer and the other is an accountant, which has nothing to do with medicine."
【This is absolutely amazing. I have a deep understanding of this. I studied animation and used a drawing tablet to draw every day. One day, an old man from my neighbor's house asked me to repair his grandson's tablet. I said I didn't know how to repair it. He said he saw me playing with the tablet every day and thought I knew how to do it. Later, my mother said that he said behind my back that I was useless in college because I couldn't even repair a computer. I had a black question mark face. 】
Ji Chu smiled and shook his head: "When encountering this kind of thing, you really can't explain it to them even if you have a hundred mouths."
[Alas, her husband was in the hospital, and her own child was unable to help. Instead, it was her imaginary enemy's son who played a big role. Gao Cui was so defensive that she was almost dead. No wonder she used ghost money to annoy people.]
Ji Chu: "No, no, no, this is not the straw that broke the camel's back."
[Anchor, what is the last thing? ]
Early in the season: “The last thing is the marriage status of their children.”
"Although Gao Cui's two children have left the countryside, they were born in the countryside after all. I'm not saying that I look down on the countryside, but everyone knows the price of houses in the city in recent years. Although Gao Cui's daughter married a man who has a house in the city early on, he is just an ordinary working class man."
"As for Gao Cui's son, he worked in the city for many years and barely paid a down payment."
"People today are very realistic. We have seen too many stories about Phoenix men. A girl in the city who has a house and a car will never be with Gao Cui's son."
"So Gao Cui's son ended up marrying a girl who also came from the countryside. Since the girl's family didn't have much background, it didn't help Gao Cui's son's career at all."
