Chapter 185 3 from 4 virtues
Xia Zhi did not immediately go to Rongcheng Middle School to look for Yunshu. He bought half a pound of brown sugar and a pound of peach cakes at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, then strolled to the school gate and waited quietly.
It was lunch time, and soon a man wearing glasses came out.
"Hello, comrade."
When the visitor saw Xia Zhi in military uniform, he immediately let down his guard and said with a smile: "Hello, soldier comrade. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Excuse me, are you a teacher at Rongcheng Middle School?"
The middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and replied, "Yes. What is this?"
"I have a cousin who married your school's math teacher named Lin Yuan last year. I was on a mission when they got married. I'm on vacation these two days so I wanted to come and get to know them. I don't know if they live nearby."
The male teacher knew that Lin Yuan had indeed gotten married last year, and there were still some rumors about his marriage in the school. Seeing that Xia Zhi's expression was not fake, he said enthusiastically: "I just happened to know, and I even went to their wedding. Lin Yuan did not live in the teacher's dormitory. His home is at No. 4 Maoer Street. Just go forward to the end and turn left. His neighbor next door has planted a lush bougainvillea, which is easy to recognize."
Xia Zhi didn't expect it to be so smooth, and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
People at that time were still relatively simple, and soldiers were considered particularly reliable by the common people, which was why Xia Zhi easily found out Lin Yuan's home.
Xia Zhi came all the way to Lin Yuan's home. Lin Yuan's home was the ancestral property of the returnees, a two-story building with a yard in front.
A woman dragged her heavy body and carried a bucket back to the house. She should be Lin Yuan's newlywed wife. I didn't expect that her belly would be so big in less than a year of marriage. An old woman stood under the eaves, looking at the young woman quietly, muttering: "Xiao Lan, women should follow the three obediences and four virtues. Do you know which three obediences are?"
The young woman may have felt too tired, so she put the bucket on the ground, supported her waist with one hand, and gently patted her waist with the other hand, without saying a word.
The old woman was not angry, and continued to chant: "The three obediences are: obey your father before marriage, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband dies. Now that you have married my brother Yuan, you must obey him, rely on him, and regard him as your heaven. How can you let him bring you water to wash your feet?"
It turned out that the young woman was a little tired last night, so she asked Lin Yuan to help her bring some water for washing her feet, which resulted in her being scolded by her mother-in-law for the whole day.
"Seeing that you don't say a word, you must still be angry with me. Never mind, now that you have married into my family, I have to teach you well. You can take a rest after you finish drawing this bucket of water today. Be careful of my dear grandson in your belly. We'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow." After saying that, he shook his head and went into the house.
This old woman refreshed Xia Zhi's three views. Seeing that the neighbors around her had closed their doors and windows, she didn't know whether they were not at home or they had already gotten used to it.
Xia Zhi originally wanted to find a teacher to happen to encounter this old woman's weird behavior. But, after thinking about it, forget it. Don't hit the mouse and hurt the jade bottle. Exposing Lin Yuan and his mother's weird moral standards will inevitably involve Yun Shu.
There were too many criticisms about Yunshu, so it was not a good idea for her to be in the spotlight at this time. However, she still wanted to let Yunshu see the ugly faces of the mother and son.
Xia Zhi, a stranger walking in this remote alley, certainly attracted more attention. His stop also attracted the attention of a woman who opened the gate. Fortunately, he was wearing a military uniform, which gave the woman some sense of security, as long as he was not a messy person. Seeing Xia Zhi looking around, the woman wiped her hands on her clothes and walked out of the gate.
"Young man, are you looking for relatives?"
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Auntie, my relative works at Rongcheng Middle School in front. He wants to rent a house here. I am not familiar with Maoer Street, so I just looked around."
The aunt was overjoyed. It just so happened that her neighbor had recently applied for a place to study in the United States at public expense and went to the United States. She was asked to help look after the house and rent it out. Half of the rent would be given to her as compensation. However, there were many requirements, such as not renting to messy people, and not changing the decoration and layout of the house... There was a teacher from Rongcheng Middle School as a neighbor who was indeed much better than other tenants. The aunt pointed to the yard not far away and said: "Yes, look at that small building, it's the house of my distant relative. He just went abroad and wanted to rent the house out."
Xia Zhi followed the aunt's finger and saw the small building next to Lin Yuan. He smiled even more brightly and handed the walnut cake in his hand to the aunt, "Aunt, thank you for your help. I have to ask my relatives about the rent. Please keep the walnut cake and help me keep the house for two days."
The rent of this house is not low and it is not easy to rent. I finally met a potential customer and I even sent her snacks. How could the aunt not be happy!
Xia Zhi looked at the vacant building and had other ideas in mind.
