Chapter 76 Nothing Strange About It
"Wh...what?"
Ma Junjie could hardly believe it; he even thought he had misheard.
He stammered,
"Xue...Xuemei, what...what did you just say?"
Li Xuemei stared into Ma Junjie's eyes.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Brother Jie, I'm telling you, Bai Xue actually has several men outside."
Ma Junjie was speechless.
He shook his head and said...
"Snow White, this is truly eye-opening—like being stabbed in the butt!"
"I always thought that Widow Wang from our village was a heroine, an outstanding woman!"
"Her lovers ranged from the village chief to the elderly living alone, sleeping from one end of the village to the other. Who would have thought that Bai Xue was no less impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei shook her head slightly.
"Brother Jie, you're probably just starting out in the city, so you're probably quite shocked by this kind of thing."
"But that's all I can say. There are just too many people like Bai Xue in our factory!"
"In other words, this situation is so common that it's become commonplace."
"Huh? What?" Ma Junjie exclaimed.
This shout was quite loud.
Bai Xue and Yang Wei, who were in the distance, stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Ma Junjie quickly shut his mouth and became more restrained.
By the time they realized Yang Wei was no longer paying attention to them,
He lowered his voice and continued to ask.
"Xuemei, are you really serious about what you're saying?"
Li Xuemei spoke up.
"Brother Jie, do I look like I'm joking with you?"
Ma Junjie glanced at Li Xuemei, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he realized she wasn't.
He was so shocked that he shook his head.
"Wow, everyone says city people are open-minded, especially in Dongguan, but I never imagined they'd be this open!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei's lips curled into a cold smile.
Said,
"Brother Jie, what you're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg."
"There are many more shocking and unbelievable things in this city!"
Ma Junjie spoke in disbelief.
"Is...is there anything even more outrageous than Snow White?"
Li Xuemei nodded.
"Brother Jie, you're still so innocent. I really hope you won't get corrupted by the big melting pot of society in the future!"
Ma Junjie stared at Li Xuemei and smiled.
"Xuemei, you can rest assured about that."
"I consider myself to have strong self-control. I know very well what I can and cannot do."
"By the way, isn't Bai Xue afraid of being discovered like this?"
Li Xuemei said,
"Brother Jie, since we've come this far, I'll tell you everything in detail."
"Brother Jie, we call people like Bai Xue and Yang Wei temporary couples."
"Most people who work away from home, regardless of gender, will have a temporary spouse by their side when they are not living together!"
Ma Junjie's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth agape.
"Temporarily..."
"What a simple and easy-to-understand word!"
Li Xuemei continued...
"Brother Jie, let me tell you, Yang Wei probably knows about Bai Xue's situation. After all, Bai Xue's looks and figure are top-notch, so she must have many suitors."
"It's just that Yang Wei is too vain and possessive, and he's unwilling to accept this fact."
"He would never allow Bai Xue to have any other men besides him."
"But you know, since Bai Xue has already sold her body and dignity, whether she's with one man or a group of men, isn't it all the same?!"
At this point, Li Xuemei sighed deeply.
He said with deep emotion,
"Snow White, in truth, also suffers greatly!"
"If it weren't for earning more money, if it weren't for her family, who would willingly stoop to such a low level, moving among a group of men?"
Ma Junjie suddenly remembered what Li Xuemei had said earlier.
Bai Xue's parents are seriously ill and physically disabled, making it impossible for them to do heavy work.
There are also younger brothers and sisters in the family.
She is the pillar of her family.
If she doesn't hold on, her family will completely collapse.
Thinking of this, Ma Junjie suddenly sighed.
Yes,
Happy families are all alike.
Unhappy families are all unhappy in their own way.
Thinking about it this way...
Ma Junjie suddenly realized that he seemed to understand Bai Xue as well.
After all, it's her freedom to do what she wants.
Although it's not very ethical, however,
If a person can't even survive...
What need is there for propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame?
Ma Junjie's lips curled up into a smile.
He stared at Li Xuemei and said,
"Xuemei, I suddenly realize that you are truly a breath of fresh air in this factory."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei probably found the analogy quite novel.
He laughed out loud.
She immediately used that phrase in her reply.
"Brother Jie, if I'm a breath of fresh air, then you're definitely an oddball!"
"Weird?" Ma Junjie was a little surprised.
Li Xuemei covered her mouth and giggled, saying,
"Brother Jie, you seem like a well-read person, you should know what 'weirdo' means, right?"
Ma Junjie was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"Xuemei, you're something else! You're even testing me now!"
"Originally, 'weirdo' was a positive term, used to praise someone!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei laughed.
"Yes, yes!"
"I've finally met someone who truly understands the meaning of this word!"
"Brother Jie, I suddenly feel like you're a kindred spirit to me!"
Ma Junjie looked at Li Xuemei.
Looking at her, her white dress fluttering, her eyes shining as she spoke, her beautiful face flawless and white...
Ma Junjie didn't know why, but he suddenly had an urge to hug her.
Li Xuemei noticed that Ma Junjie's gaze towards her was strange.
She felt a little shy for a moment.
He said softly,
"Brother Jie, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ma Junjie said "Oh," and looked away.
He laughed.
"No, it's nothing."
"I just think that your dress today is... actually quite pretty!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei looked down at herself.
She thought to herself, "I spent all night agonizing over this outfit before I finally decided on it."
Hearing Ma Junjie say this now makes me feel as sweet as if I'd eaten honey.
Her face flushed slightly, and she suddenly thought of inviting Ma Junjie to go to the night market that evening.
She plans to buy another dress.
She looked up and said,
"Brother Jie, tonight..."
As they were talking,
Suddenly, I heard a hurried sound behind me.
"Xuemei, Brother Jie, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
"Waaaaah... Come quick, Xue Mei, Brother Jie... Waaaaah..."
Li Xuemei and Ma Junjie both looked over immediately...
