Later on, He Hongmei graduated from university, got a job, and became a teacher. How prestigious that was! Meanwhile, Liang Tao also made a name for himself by becoming a school leader in the town. He Second Aunt kept boasting as if she was He Hongmei's benefactor, claiming that if it weren't for her generosity in supporting her younger sister-in-law's college education years ago, could her sister-in-law have the good life she has now?
Then, using this excuse, He Second Aunt never missed a chance to pilfer something from He Hongmei's to take home.
According to He Zhilan, if you were to describe her Second Aunt, she definitely was someone who would not give away a single hair of her own possessions, yet coveted emptying others' houses into her own. Anything bad, she would go and trample further; anything good, she would rush to claim it as her own glory.
