Chapter 500: Bait (1/2)

“Really? Really? Is life in the city really that great? Did you live like that when you were in the city?”

Sun Mei was flushed with agitation. She looked at Gu Qingyao hungrily, longing for her to continue.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Most people probably led that kind of life! I’m not sure about other families, but in the time I was at the provincial capital, everyone around me lived like that.

“Our neighbors all lived in apartments, and the kitchen was in the house. It was very clean because they didn’t burn firewood. There’s an open square at the foot of the apartment. During the mornings and evenings, people would gather there to play, and many of them brought their children.

“As for me, I went to take care of my Third Aunt and two younger cousins. Every day… I cooked and brought the children out to play or chatted with the neighbors. Sometimes, when I had nothing to do, I would shop in the department stores. Besides that… there wasn’t much to do!”

Bring children out to play, chat with neighbors and shop at the department store?

Want an idyllic life!

Sun Mei could not contain her excitement. She couldn’t wait to have that kind of life too.

“Really? Yao Yao, you are just too lucky. A life like that must be heavenly. If I could have that kind of life, I would die of bliss.”

Gu Qingyao’s mouth curled in a discreet smirk. “Really? There’s nothing special about it. Many people in the city live like that!”

When Sun Mei heard that, she was so excited she did not know what to say. From Gu Qingyao’s tone, it was nothing special.

Heavens!

Was city life so delightful?

No wonder so many girls wanted to marry and move to the city. Everyone dreamt of a life like that!
