Tian Jing put down her water glass and seized the opportunity to educate Da Mai, "This is one of the reasons she looks down on us."
"Only rural shrew women resort to physical fights. People like them use their gaze and actions to show contempt."
"I'm not asking you to be like her; I want you to be a confident woman who is unfazed by honor or disgrace."
"Because of today's incident, I'll tell you upfront: I want you to be my assistant, an assistant who can handle affairs here on my behalf."
"It's perfect, you and Du Hong Juan can learn from Lu Xing Gang together."
"Me?"
Da Mai pointed to her nose, "I'm uneducated and ignorant..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Tian Jing interrupted her, "That Wei Hai Yan, she's educated, but you don't like her? If you're uneducated, go learn."
And so, during the day, Li Da Mai was sent by her aunt to learn from Lu Xing Gang and his wife.
In the evening, Li Da Mai was sent to night school by her uncle.
In just one month, Li Da Mai underwent a dramatic transformation.
Seeing Li Da Mai looking like a perfect city woman, Tian Jing nodded with satisfaction.
"Good, good. We've finished our business and had our fun. It's time to go back. You stay and continue your studies."
Da Mai was scared, "Alone?"
"Du Hong Juan's family is next door. What are you afraid of? I've already arranged for Lu Xing Gang to drive you back and forth at night."
"Besides, Du Hong Juan also wants to enrich herself by attending night school. You two will have company."
"Every month, Du Hong Juan will give you two hundred yuan for food expenses. This is considered your training cost. Later, it will be deducted from your salary."
"Lu Xing Gang will also arrange for you and Du Hong Juan to learn to drive. You must get your license. From now on, you'll be my assistant and chauffeur."
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
Da Mai, who was no longer the same as before, regained her usual efficiency. However, "Auntie, I'm afraid to live alone."
"Then let's bring Xiao Mai here?"
"Okay, okay. Before I came, I wasn't very confident myself. Now, I want to give Xiao Mai a try. If she can't do it, I'll send her back."
"Then take a few days off from night school and come back with us to bring her."
"Okay."
...
Tian Jing's family returned in a brand-new car.
This news was as explosive as a bomb.
The villagers stepped over large stones and crossed the Ku River.
They looked at the car, wanting to touch it but not daring to.
Before, Ouyang Lei's car was older, and they had secretly touched it.
This car's glossy paint was so bright that even a thin layer of dust couldn't hide it. They were afraid their calloused hands would scratch the paint.
Li Min unceremoniously leaned on the still-warm, dust-covered hood of the car.
"Little Uncle, Little Uncle, is this our car?"
"Little Uncle, Little Uncle, give me a ride!"
"Little Uncle, Little... Uh."
Li Min's words were interrupted by the woman who got out of the driver's seat. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are you Da Mai?"
Looking at the unchanged Li Min, and thinking of the past and present, her heart found peace. "It's me, Auntie Min Min."
Li Min circled her, scrutinizing her, "My goodness, is that really you, Da Mai? You look like a different person!"
Li Da Mai truly understood Li Min.
She was brainless, simple-minded, and easily swayed. When no one was around to guide her, she lived her life in confusion.
"Because I went to school. Education can truly change a person, changing them from the inside out. Unfortunately, you are not among those who benefit."
"Bah! You wretched girl, you've gotten bold after being away for a few days."
"Auntie Li Min, mind your manners, don't spit. Alright, move aside, I'm going to get Li Li out of the car."
Li Min was faster than Da Mai. She pushed aside her proud niece and ran to the rear window, "Li Li, Auntie will carry you down."
Li Wei Li turned her head away, "You haven't bathed, you stink."
"Hahaha, Li Li, well done."
Da Mai pushed Li Min aside and reached in through the window to pull Li Wei Li out.
Li Min was speechless. She suspected her little niece was taking revenge on her on behalf of her elder niece.
Tian Jing got out of the car from the left door. Li Wei Hao and his brother also got out. After shooing away the person by the front passenger door, Li Zheng Guo was able to open his door.
Along the way, Li Zheng Guo had taught Da Mai to drive in advance, allowing her to take turns.
For this section, to build Da Mai's confidence, he had completely let her drive.
Closing the car windows and locking the doors, Da Mai handed the car keys to Li Zheng Guo.
"Thank you, Little Uncle. I will not disappoint Little Aunt's expectations."
Li Min wanted to snatch the keys, but her younger brother pushed her away. "What are you doing?"
Li Min steadied herself, "I want to drive too."
Li Zheng Guo took the car keys from Da Mai's hand and retorted at his sister impatiently.
"Do you want to fly to the sky? Besides being jealous and envious, can you do anything meaningful?"
Li Min was displeased, "What can a woman do besides get married and have children?"
"Then why do you want to drive? Go back and hold your baby."
"How can Da Mai drive?"
"Because Da Mai has found something more meaningful than getting married and having children."
"But three years ago she was still... Ah~"
"Bang!"
A person in a thick coat immediately appeared swimming in the Ku River.
After kicking her, Tian Jing glared at her husband, "Why are you talking nonsense with her?"
Li Zheng Guo hurriedly placated her, "My mistake, my mistake. Let's go home."
"Hmph! Get the luggage."
"Yes."
When Grandma Li arrived with young Master Ran Ran, she saw her daughter struggling in the river and immediately scolded, "How can you be so stupid? Take off your coat."
Li Min, while taking off her 'heavy as a mountain' coat, thought that her mother was no longer her mother.
Grandma Li stood on the bank waiting for her younger son's family.
"Hao Hao, Xiao Bo, Li Li, do you miss Grandma?"
"Miss."
"Miss."
"Miss." Little Li Li pounced on Grandma's lap, "Grandma, you hold me, let Daddy hold my brother."
Grandma Li placed her grandson in her younger son's arms and bent down to pick up her granddaughter.
"Oh, Grandma missed you so much when you weren't home."
"Then does Grandma like my brother, or me?"
"Of course, I like our Li Li."
"Hehe." Little Li Li was happy and kissed Grandma, "I like Grandma too."
Grandma Li's face immediately bloomed like a blooming flower.
Tian Jing was helpless with her daughter. She craved nice words, wanted to be the unique one, and was good at coaxing.
Fortunately, she was the only daughter.
Upon returning home, they were greeted by Ouyang Mei Hua and Le Xia.
Ouyang Mei Hua reached out, "Where are the car keys? I heard you bought a car and came back. I want to have some fun."
Li Zheng Guo handed the car keys to his elder sister-in-law, "Li Min probably climbed ashore. She wants to drive too, but don't agree to her."
"Who kicked her?"
"Tian Tian, she was being uncouth and brought up three years ago. As soon as she started, Tian Tian kicked her into the river."
"No wonder Da Mai's expression isn't very good."
Grandma Li heard this, put down her granddaughter, grabbed a rose branch, and went out of the yard.
Ouyang Mei Hua pulled Le Xia, "Let's go, let's go, let's go watch the excitement."
Li Min, having struggled ashore, was shivering all over from the cold.
As she walked a few steps towards the village, she was met with a barrage of thorny branches thrown by her mother.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong again?"
"What's wrong? I'm asking you, how did you fall into the river?"
"Little Auntie kicked me."
"Why did she kick you?"
"I don't know. I was just about to ask her. Just because they bought a car, does that make them great?"
"She lets Da Mai drive, but not me. If she wouldn't let me drive, fine, but why did she kick me into the river?"
Grandma Li almost fainted. Having such a daughter would shorten her lifespan.
