"Old Wang, what are you planning to buy today?"
"Why are you late today?"
"I just bought a fish and now I'm getting some tofu. We're having fish stew with tofu for lunch."
"What do you want to buy?"
"Well, I'll get two carrots. My grandson said he wanted scrambled eggs with carrots yesterday."
"Sister Zhao, who is that girl next to you? She can't be a relative, can she?"
"This is Xiao Ye from our courtyard. She just got married and came with me to buy groceries today," Sister Zhao explained.
Then she turned to Ye Fangfei and said, "Feifei, this is Aunt Wang and Aunt Li from our back courtyard. And this is Xiao Liu from the next yard; you can call her Liu Jie."
"Hello, Aunt Wang! Hello, Aunt Li! Hello, Liu Jie!" Ye Fangfei greeted them sweetly.
"Good, good! Oh my, this girl has such a sweet tongue. She's quite lovely too."
"Which lucky guy gets to claim her? Is it that boy from the Gao family?" Aunt Wang asked.
"Impossible! I've seen that boy from the Gao family; he looks like a dullard. He and Xiao Ye don't seem like they belong to the same family at all. I'd say she's more suited for the Liu family's boy," Liu Jie replied candidly.
"Stop talking! Xiao Ye's husband is Tang Zhi; he works at the transportation team as a driver."
"Can you guess where they live?" Sister Zhao interrupted their guessing game.
"It can't be that independent house in that courtyard, right?" Liu Jie quickly responded with a guess.
"That's the one! The transportation company gave it to Xiao Ye's husband," Sister Zhao confirmed.
"It's actually them? We were all wondering who would get that house."
"After all, having an independent house is much better than living in a big shared courtyard," Liu Jie added.
From this brief interaction, it was clear that Liu Jie was straightforward and had no ulterior motives.
Ye Fangfei remained silent; at this moment, anything she said would seem inappropriate, so she could only smile.
"Xiao Ye, tell Liu Jie if you two are related or something? Otherwise, how could such a nice house end up in your hands?" Liu Jie nudged Ye Fangfei's shoulder, thinking they were quite familiar with each other.
Ye Fangfei knew they would think like this, but her reasoning was different.
"Sister Liu, what are you thinking? Our Tang Zhi is just lucky; it was all about drawing lots.
The first time he drew, someone helped him out, so he drew again. But in the end, it was still our Tang Zhi who got it. That's when no one had anything to say. Ye Fangfei recounted what happened that day.
Is there really such a thing? That's just too much bullying. These people are taking advantage of Xiao Tang's honesty; drawing lots should be based on luck. How can they say Xiao Tang can't claim his win just because he drew it?
It's just that Xiao Tang was lucky enough to draw again. If he hadn’t drawn, wouldn’t that have been a huge loss? Aunt Zhao said angrily.
Isn't that right? This is just bullying honest people. If it were our second son who drew, and others tried to deny it, I would definitely make a fuss about it! Sister Liu chimed in.
Xiao Ye, let me tell you, being too honest isn’t good. Some people specifically target honest folks to bully them.
Exactly, you can't be too honest. I’ll teach you some time; some people only fear the strong and take advantage of the weak."
The several aunts and elder women shared their experiences, while Ye Fangfei nodded along, listening intently.
