Chapter 142 She has the right to be arrogant

That day, An Min had just finished organizing the translated materials and was preparing to take them to the institute when Liang Yi returned that evening when she heard hushed whispers outside the door.

The soundproofing in the tenement building wasn't very good either.

Anyone walking in from outside can hear you clearly.

Not to mention that Anmin is standing right at the door.

"Have you heard? It's Liang Gong's family who just moved here. His wife is actually earning money at home."

It was Sister Li, who lived next door. Her husband worked in the same company as Liang Yi.

She usually likes to gossip about others, and someone reminded Anmin about this when she first moved in.

Tell Anmin to spend less time with this Sister-in-law Li, in case she says something and she spreads it around.

"A woman like her, instead of staying home taking care of the children and making shoe soles, is learning to speak foreign languages ​​like those students, really..."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Another voice offered advice, its attitude much better than that of Sister Li.

"Engineer Liang is a key technical worker, so it's normal for his wife to be educated. Besides, the translation department is indeed short-staffed, and I heard the subsidies they're offering are quite substantial."

"They can make money from home, aren't they better off than us?"

People used to have opinions about intellectuals, but things are different now.

Today's intellectuals are the pillars of the nation.

The ability to read and write is not something everyone possesses.

"So what if there are a lot?"

Sister-in-law Li's voice rose a little higher.

"What kind of image does it have for a woman to show her face in public and earn money? I think it's just restlessness."

"I've met her. She's very arrogant, with a haughty air about her. I don't like her."

Sister-in-law Li's family lives in Beijing, and she speaks with a strong Beijing accent from the old city.

Sometimes when I speak too fast, people don't understand me.

However, relying on this identity, she became extremely arrogant.

An Min tightened her grip on the pen, her brows furrowing slightly.

She knew that's how it was in tenement buildings; gossip spread faster than anyone else's.

I never expected that doing some translation work at home would attract so much gossip.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure.

Now is not the time to worry about these things. Liang Yi is already busy enough with work, and we can't let him be distracted by these matters.

It's just gossip; as long as she doesn't care.

Just then, Si'an suddenly started crying, and Shouye was also startled awake, whimpering along with her.

Anmin quickly put down her pen, trying to soothe one while patting the other, her hands and feet a jumble of activity.

After finally getting both children to sleep, Anmin finally had a chance to catch her breath.

She looked at the unfinished translation of the documents on the table, rubbed her throbbing temples, and silently cheered herself up.

It's okay. As long as you do nothing wrong, let others say what they want.

When Liang Yi returned in the evening, An Min handed him the documents.

Liang Yi seemed to have overheard the neighbors' gossip from someone else, and he comforted An Min.

"These people are just idle, don't take it to heart. Your translation work is so good, even the head of the department praised you, it's a good thing, what's there to say?"

An Min smiled and said, "I know, it's just a little annoying. But it's okay, I won't take it to heart."

Liang Yi held her hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Minmin. Things will be fine once my project stabilizes."

But things didn't gradually get better as Liang Yi had predicted.

A few days later, when Anmin went to the cafeteria for lunch, the cook, Mr. Zhang, looked at her strangely and gave her less food than usual. Anmin knew that this must be because Sister Li and the others had said something behind her back.

She didn't say anything, silently took the food and left.

When Anmin got home, she put the food on the table and felt a little aggrieved looking at the meager amount of food.

She couldn't understand why she was so disliked when she worked diligently and didn't cause trouble.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Anmin opened the door and saw Sister Li standing there with a fake smile on her face: "Anmin, are you busy?"

An Min nodded calmly: "Is there something you need, Sister-in-law Li?"

Sister-in-law Li walked into the house, looked around, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Girl, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're always busy translating at home and you don't even have time to tidy up the house. Look at this table, it's almost covered in dust."

Anmin ignored her and waited for her to continue.

Seeing that Anmin didn't respond, Sister Li said again, "Sister, I know you're educated and look down on us uneducated people. But when it comes to making a living, it's better to be practical."

"Why do you, a woman, need to earn so much money? You should spend more time on Engineer Liang and the children."

Upon hearing this, An Min couldn't help but frown.

“Sister Li, I earn my money as a translator through my own abilities, honestly and fairly. I haven’t neglected my family either; I take good care of my children and manage my life perfectly.”

"This doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"

Li's sister-in-law was embarrassed by An Min's retort and said awkwardly, "I was just trying to give you some advice, why don't you appreciate it?"

"Look at you, you've been here for so long and you haven't interacted with anyone. Everyone says behind your back that you're very arrogant..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Li. I appreciate it, but I will take care of my own life, so please don't trouble yourself."

Anmin dismissed Li's wife, telling her to leave.

It's really baffling. I was just doing my own thing at home, and I wasn't bothering her at all, was I?

Does she really think she's someone important just because she came out and said those things?

Sister-in-law Li glared at An Min fiercely, turned around and left, muttering, "She really doesn't know what's good for her. She'll regret this one day."

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out, he ran into Liang Yi, who was on his way home to retrieve some documents.

“Sister-in-law Li, my wife is proud because she has the right to be proud.”

"Even if she leaves me, even if she doesn't rely on me, she has the means to earn money on her own. It's me who can't live without her."

After saying this, Liang Yi coldly swept his gaze over her and the other neighbors who were peeking out.

“If I hear these words again, I will go and have a talk with Director Li.”

"I wonder if he's too idle at home, which is why you, sister-in-law, have time to gossip and meddle in other people's business."

Sister-in-law Li's expression was very unpleasant.

If her husband knew she did this, he would definitely beat her.

"I was just chatting with Anmin about everyday things..."

She stammered her explanation, her eyes darting around, her previous arrogance long gone.

"My wife doesn't like you, so you're not welcome in my house anymore."

Liang Yi didn't look at her again and went straight into the house.

Hearing the noise, An Min turned around and smiled at Liang Yi.

"Why are you back?"

"I left the blueprints at home."

Liang Yi walked over, gently put his arm around her, and rested his chin on the top of her head.

"Wife, you are the best person in the world."

"Oh, right, I have some good news. The department head said he wants you to come to our institute. In a few days, Big Brother will send a technical consultant, and we'll need a face-to-face translation."
