Sonya had a younger brother, who was good for nothing. He muddled along, went to brothels and gambled. Although he was not married, no girl was willing to marry him. It was a disaster. He was already more than 30 years old, but he was still single.
Wendy was older than him, but Sonya thought that it didn’t matter. Wendy has such a good house and her daughter is promising. If Sonya has a relationship with them, her family will also be prosperous in the future.
Sonya jealous of the house Celia had built. Did they make a fortune? How could they be so rich? Wouldn't it be convenient to borrow some money from them if her family was lack of money in the future?
"You'd better not say that again and don't say it in front of me. If Wendy is my sister, I would rather she to be single for the rest of her life than to be with such a man. Everyone knows why your brother hasn't married. Don't you know it yourself? Besides, we are neighbors. Everyone knows the background of each family. This h
be more people taking care of you outside. You can rest assured to have a rest in the train, right?"
Looking at her son's hesitation, Cora was anxious to death. How could this boy not inherit her shrewish and forthright character? As soon as he was in front of Celia, he was shy like a girl, but Celia was graceful and elegant. What a striking contrast. Cora really fretted about it.
"Auntie, I haven't bought the ticket yet. I don't know if we can book the tickets of the same dates or not."
It was not that Celia didn't want to go with them, but it was the beginning of the new semester. There were so many people going to school that it was not easy to buy the tickets, and she had to wait in line to buy them. In this era, there was no mobile phone, and it was inconvenient for her to do anything. She had to wait in line in the ticket agents. It was fine if the tickets were still available. If not, she had to wait till next day. She didn’t even know whether she could buy it or not.
