The one who tipped off was Wu Guihua's little girl, named Xinghua. Tian Xinghua had two long black braids. When she saw Wang Ying, she pulled her aside.
"Sister Ying, Wang Lingling is back, and my mother asked me to talk to you."
Tian Xinghua looked sympathetic. It was obvious why Wang Lingling came back at this time. She was probably angry that the family house was given to Wang Ying, so she came to make trouble.
Wang Ying: "How long has she been here?"
Tian Xinghua: "I just came here for a while, now I'm going to look for the team leader and the branch secretary."
Tian Xinghua and Wang Ying were not very close, but they were acquaintances because of Wu Guihua. Thinking of Wang Ying's series of troublesome relatives, she felt sorry for her.
"How about Sister Ying, you go to the restaurant first and come back after she leaves."
Since she couldn't find anyone, Wang Lingling naturally had no way to throw a tantrum or act like a spoiled child.
"Aunt Xu is here, she can't make any trouble."
Old Mrs. Xu was very kind to Wang Ying, but she was not so kind to others, especially Wang Lingling who reported her eldest son. It would be strange if she didn't punish her!
Wang Ying: "It's okay, let her come as she pleases."
In fact, Wang Ying was also very curious about the purpose of Wang Lingling's trip.
She didn't think that Wang Lingling came back to ask for a house. She didn't live in this brigade and her household registration had been moved away. She would like to live here, but how would she eat if she didn't work in the fields
Besides, giving the house to her was a joint decision made by the brigade secretary and Tian Youfu, but Wang Lingling went to find Tian Youfu as soon as she came back, which didn't seem like she would cause trouble in front of Wang Ying.
Wang Ying went home first with her lunch box. When she arrived at the door, she saw Old Lady Xu and a group of old ladies waiting at the door in a rage.
Wang Ying was amused: "Mom, what are you doing? If someone didn't know, they would think we were going to fight."
Old Mrs. Xu moved a small stool and placed it on an earthen platform at the gate of the yard. She sat there taller than the others, looking like she was in a royal tent.
There were a circle of old ladies around, whispering to each other, and you could hear a curse from time to time.
As soon as Wang Ying asked, a group of old ladies started talking at once.
"Ying girl, go back to your room and sit down. No matter what's going on outside, you don't have to come out."
"That's right. Can we let her, a married woman from another country, come back to show off her power? I will scold her to death."
"Her parents are not good people, and neither is she!"
Wang Ying looked at Old Lady Xu in surprise. Old Lady Xu had a righteous look on her face.
The old ladies nearby were still filled with indignation.
"I originally thought she was just confused. She insisted on being a stepmother and she was not smart. Who would have known that this person would actually report the eldest son of the Xu family!"
Wang Ying immediately understood that Old Mrs. Xu was still angry and was still holding a grudge against Xu Ming.
Anyway, Wang Yongshun and Wang Yaozong were both sent to jail, so Old Lady Xu simply told them that Wang Lingling had deliberately reported the matter last year in order to avoid marrying Xu Shuang.
As I said before, in the countryside, although people will avoid those families in the five black categories, they will be even more disgusted with the people who report them.
If we talk about it, which family has not secretly gone to the back mountain to pick some wild vegetables and fruits? Which family has not hunted wild rabbits in the mountains? Who can say that they don’t have any tricks
To be honest, everything on the mountain should be collective property and should be taken down and handed over to the brigade.
But Tian Youfu has been downplaying this aspect. One reason is that he really can't manage it. The back mountain is connected to several brigades, and other brigades rely on the mountain for their livelihood. If you control the members and don't let them go up the mountain, wouldn't that be a loss for your own members? The second reason is that everyone is having a hard time now, and it is easy for everyone to get upset if the rigid requirements cannot be implemented.
Tian Youfu doesn't care, but that doesn't mean this kind of thing is legal.
If someone is so cruel as to report it, the whole team will suffer the consequences.
In this situation, everyone knew that Wang Lingling was a whistleblower, and they were disgusted with her.
If you don't want to get married, just say so! The Xu family boy has no trouble finding a wife.
Many girls from the brigades and even the communes were chasing after her. Xu Shuang was good-looking, so even if she wanted to try her luck and find a girl from the city, she would have had the means to do so.
Do you need to look down on others here
If you dislike me, then you dislike me. But what’s the point of reporting me to the big brother
So if things don't go your way, you're going to fight to the bitter end? That's not how you do things.
The old ladies have a good relationship with Old Lady Xu, as they all watched the two children of the Xu family grow up.
Unlike Xu Shuang who was taciturn, Xu Ming had always been sweet-talking since he was young, and he was also smart and good at studying. He was simply "the child of other people's families", and who among these old ladies didn't envy Old Lady Xu for being able to give birth
I have two sons, one is very capable and can fly far, the other is very practical and can take care of people and earn money.
Xu Ming is a man of character. When he was in the provincial capital, if someone's family was short of something, he would find a way to get it. In the past few years when the college entrance examination was not cancelled, he would give lectures to the children in the brigade when he came back from vacation.
What a great young man! I heard that he was studying large aircraft with his teacher in college.
As a result, because of Wang Lingling's refusal to marry his brother, he lost his job and was sent to the Northwest.
The old ladies were even angrier than Old Lady Xu. They were angry to see such a good young man being killed. They were even angrier to see Xu Ming go to the northwest, and now they couldn't ask him to buy them something.
Wang Lingling is a sinner!
How could Wang Ying not know how much Old Lady Xu hated her, and she didn't stop her.
According to her thinking, this person must pay the price for his actions.
Wang Yongshun took her family's money and things, so he had to pay for them and be punished. Wang Yaozong stole things, so he had to pay for them first and then go to jail.
Where is Wang Lingling
Since she reported Xu Ming, she must bear the price of being despised.
You want to hide behind the big stick of whistleblowing? That's a weird fantasy.
Wang Ying grabbed a few handfuls of melon seeds from her home and put them on a wooden tray, then took them out for the old ladies to crack.
Old Lady Xu looked at Wang Ying with some resentment. She was going to scare Wang Lingling away with her power. After all, the house behind her belonged to her daughter-in-law. It was the compensation given to Wang Ying by Wang Yongshun and his wife. She couldn't give the house to Wang Lingling.
Wang Lingling, don’t even think about getting in the door!
Now, when I crack the melon seeds, the original murderous aura is gone.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "No need to delay. I'll just eat and curse at the same time."
You have to be more serious when dealing with Wang Lingling. You think too highly of her.
Wang Ying always felt that this cousin who seemed to be reborn didn't seem to be very smart.
Because of the hail, every family had a hard time during this period. Melon seeds were considered an edible food, and the old ladies' eyes lit up. Each of them grabbed a little and ate it, then quietly put some in their pockets and took it back for their grandchildren to try.
Wang Ying was cracking melon seeds and found a small stool to sit down.
So when Wang Lingling arrived at the door of her former home, she saw this scene.
A group of old ladies were leisurely eating melon seeds at the door of her house, and the melon seed shells were spit all over the floor.
Seeing Wang Lingling coming back holding a child, pulling another child, and carrying a cloth bag, the group of people couldn't help but say "spit" in their hearts.
"Hey, who is this? I couldn't see clearly because it was far away. Isn't this Lingling, the little girl from the Wang family? What are you doing back at this time?"
"Are you back here to see your brother off? Or are you back to take care of your mother?"
"Look at what you said. Lingling brought her child with her. She must be bringing the child back to visit relatives."
…
The old ladies made jokes and their words were full of sarcasm.
Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi, who were brought by Wang Lingling, both had bad tempers. They sensitively noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and they pouted their lips in impatience.
Zhao Dong pulled his hands back, not wanting Wang Lingling to pull him, and shouted, "I don't want to stay here anymore. Take me to buy some candy."
In order to bring them along, Wang Lingling promised to buy them candy when they arrived.
Zhao Dong: "Stepmother, have you finished your work? Let's go."
Zhao Xi also muttered: "Stepmother, let's go."
Although the old ladies were waiting to bully Wang Lingling, they all frowned when they heard what the two children said.
The look he gave Wang Lingling was no different from looking at a fool.
Is this the woman you went to so much trouble to find after breaking off the engagement with Frost? And she keeps calling you stepmother
Wang Lingling also felt embarrassed and coaxed Zhao Xi: "We will leave soon, you wait a little longer."
Zhao Dong made a face at her, turned his hand and ran away.
Wang Lingling: "Don't run too far, be careful where you step."
The atmosphere in their team is good, so Wang Lingling is not worried about the child getting lost.
Wang Lingling hugged Zhao Xi and then looked at Wang Ying with a complicated expression.
It’s not that she thinks there’s something wrong with Wang Ying taking her family’s house, but Wang Lingling just learned from the brigade secretary that Wang Ying married Xu Shuang, and also learned the whole story of recent events in the family.
Wang Lingling was not surprised that Wang Yaozong and Wang Yongshun were sent to prison. After all, Wang Yaozong had the same bad character in his previous life. He worked as a worker in the county town, but he still did not do his job properly. He was fired after making a mistake. He then made friends with bad people and lived a lazy life.
But Wang Lingling never expected that after she got married, Wang Ying actually married Xu Shuang! And Xu Shuang didn't even lose her job after getting married!
Although her wish was fulfilled, she also felt a little lost, but she didn't know why.
She recalled the nine meat buns she had given Wang Ying to eat in order to bring her and Xu Shuang together, and how she had reported Xu Ming and ran away to get married in secret in order not to marry Xu Shuang. She also recalled how she had heard the matchmaker on the bus say that Wang Ying worked as a barefoot doctor for several yuan a month and had found a partner who was not compatible with her...
If Wang Ying is destined to be with Xu Shuang, then what does everything I have done to get rid of Xu Shuang matter
If she hadn't used such radical means, could she have still brought Wang Ying and Xu Shuang together? And she wouldn't have ended up like the Zhao family, which had to suffer for half a year before successfully separating
But there are no answers to these questions anymore. Wang Lingling hugged her stepdaughter and looked at her stepson, knowing in her heart that she had chosen her own path.
and…
Even if Wang Ying married Xu Shuang, she would still have a hard life in the future!
Wang Lingling gradually became determined. She would wait for the future! Zhao Jun would be demobilized and return home in two years. By then, she would be able to do some small business with Zhao Jun.
Although the trend has been like this for the past decade, it has actually loosened up a bit since this year. The couple has a lot of room for development with their child!
When he became rich, Wang Ying still had to live as a poor cook! What did it matter that Xu Shuang didn't lose his job? How much ability could a small cook have
When Wang Lingling thought of this, the feeling of loss she had originally felt disappeared.
She looked down at the old ladies with her nose turned up, and turned to Wang Ying and shouted, "Hey!"
Wang Ying was eating melon seeds. She found that observing other people's expressions was really interesting. Especially Wang Lingling, everything was written on her face. When she didn't speak, it was like she was performing a small drama in her heart, which was full of ups and downs.
Wang Ying was called by Wang Lingling. She knew who Wang Lingling was calling, but she didn't say anything.
Who said hello? If you are impolite, you can donate your mouth, thank you.
Wang Lingling felt that she had been humiliated, and the same feeling she had when she faced Wang Ying came back.
She was so depressed that she wanted to get angry.
But Old Lady Xu would not give her this chance. She tried to endure it again and again, but still couldn't help it and started scolding her.
"What are you saying? Your parents taught you to be a bad person, and you can't even say your name?"
"You reported Xu Ming in the beginning, and now you dare to come to me and say hey, hey, hey. Am I giving you too much face? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
"Report, report, you are such a vicious person. You have a mouth but you can't talk, right? If you don't want to marry me, why don't you tell me and make me tired to death? Do you have to frame others first and then send them to you to pay for it so that you can appear to be a special person?"
"It's fine for you to be a jerk yourself, but why do you want to cause trouble for others?"
Old Mrs. Xu went all out and made Wang Lingling squirt with pleasure.
Wang Lingling was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, reporting Xu Ming was a trivial matter and she didn't take it to heart at all.
And what did she do wrong
Xu Ming should have died. I'm not cursing him. Xu Ming was destined to die in a few years. What's the point of her reporting it? Let's make the best use of it!
Wang Lingling was stunned at first, and then she was filled with anger.
In her previous life, she and Old Lady Xu had a very bad relationship with each other. Old Lady Xu was fed up with her because she had ruined Xu Shuang's job. Although she didn't ask her to divorce her and leave, she was never in a good mood with her every day.
Wang Lingling was not someone who could tolerate being bullied. She simply ignored Old Lady Xu and just ate and waited to die all day long.
Although Old Lady Xu was annoyed with her, she didn't treat her harshly.
Later, when the news of Xu Ming's death came, Old Mrs. Xu was so sad that she died within a year.
Wang Lingling was still immersed in the feelings of her previous life and couldn't get out of it. When Old Lady Xu started to rant about it, she immediately got angry.
"What does it have to do with you! I'm talking to Wang Ying!"
"Besides, your son was investigated, why don't you blame him for not paying attention? I reported it, but how can they find out that he has problems?"
Wang Lingling didn't think she was wrong at all. She had long disliked Xu Ming. In her previous life, when she married Xu Shuang, Xu Ming didn't come back for the wedding. Later, when he hurried back, he only gave her a few cans and a silk scarf, saying it was a wedding gift.
Some cans!
Wang Lingling felt annoyed when she saw the scarf. She complained to Xu Shuang and thought that Old Lady Xu was biased.
It would be fine if Xu Ming was just studying at school, but now that he has graduated he is still staying at school and even asks his family to send him money every month. How shameless of him!
People always say that those who study are the lowest class. Xu Ming studied a lot, but it was useless. He never came home during the holidays. When he came back, he would take a quick look at his family and then leave. The burden of supporting the family fell on the youngest son Xu Shuang, and part of Xu Shuang's salary had to be taken out to give to his eldest brother.
How can this be so reasonable? Wang Lingling had long wanted Xu Shuang to split up the family, but Xu Shuang was not as easy to convince as Zhao Jun, and in the end she was still unwilling.
When Wang Lingling learned that Xu Ming was demoted, she wondered why he wasn't demoted a few years earlier, so that he wouldn't have to ask for money every day.
Even so, after Xu Ming was demoted, Xu Shuang was still inquiring about the news and preparing to send something to Xu Ming.
A lot of things were sent, which caused various quarrels between Wang Lingling and Xu Ming and his mother, but the person still died within a year.
Wang Lingling's thoughts from two lives now overlapped. She was full of disgust towards Xu Ming and didn't feel any sympathy at all.
"Just tell me whether my report was correct or not. Who told him to read foreign books? It's not unfair for him to be investigated."
In his previous life, Xu Ming was investigated after a car accident, and reading foreign books was also his crime. Wang Lingling reported him last time, and she didn't remember the other long paragraphs, so she just used this one to make a fuss.
I have to say that Wang Lingling is an expert at adding fuel to the fire.
Her pouring of water immediately made Old Lady Xu really angry.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't even sit down, she came up and started beating him.
Several old ladies came over to stop them openly, but secretly one of them helped to take the little girl from Wang Lingling's arms and put her aside, while another blocked Wang Lingling. Several people surrounded her and tried to persuade her in a formal manner, but in fact, they were just empty talk.
Let Old Lady Xu come up and press Wang Lingling left and right and slap her a few times.
Old Mrs. Xu suppressed the jealousy in her heart and spanked Wang Lingling extra hard.
"Are you sick? Are you sick?!"
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was going crazy, and the other old ladies around her could understand her.
What's your business if someone reads a foreign language book? Xu Ming is a college student who follows his teacher to do research. It's normal for him to read a foreign language book. Don't you have any clues? You focus on reporting. How many people can stand the investigation
Let's not talk about Wang Yongshun and Wang Yaozong. Do you think your own father and brother are clean? If someone uses your mother's family background to talk about it, can you sever your ties
Old Lady Xu spanked Wang Lingling until both cheeks turned red. Wang Lingling flew into a rage, her eyes turned red, and she was about to go crazy with anger.
"You dare to hit me?!"
In her previous life, Xu Shuang and Old Lady Xu had never touched her, and Wang Lingling never thought that Old Lady Xu would beat her now.
"What's wrong with me hitting you? You shouldn't hit someone if you report him? Just wait, you report my son, so you better be careful with your man!"
Old Lady Xu risked her life: "Just wait! You'd better not make any mistakes!"
Wang Lingling's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little weak.
She could not care about herself, but she could not not care about Zhao Jun and the two children.
If something happens to her and Old Mrs. Zhao treats her the same way, what should I do
She insisted: "I won't tell you! I have something to do with Wang Ying!"
She shouldn't have come here. She should have asked a child to call Wang Ying over alone!
Wang Lingling was a little annoyed. She was inferior to Old Lady Xu. This old woman was unreasonable and just like her mother-in-law, she was an old woman.
Wang Ying was waiting on the side. She had been staring at Wang Lingling, thinking about going up to help when she saw Old Lady Xu at a disadvantage.
Who knew that Old Lady Xu would beat him so quickly and efficiently, and Wang Lingling would also back down so quickly.
Wang Lingling was afraid that there would be more trouble, so she asked Wang Ying directly, "Well, where are the two bad guys from our team? I just asked the team leader, and he said you are in charge of them."
Wang Lingling: "Take me to see them."
Wang Ying:
Wang Ying really couldn't understand Wang Lingling now. It turned out that you came all the way back to your mother's house, not to defend your parents, nor to argue about the house.
Just to find Cheng Shufen
Old Lady Xu immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"
Now everyone knows that Wang Ying doesn't go to the fields, and earns some work points by taking care of Cheng Shufen and Cheng Yu.
Of course, some people with sharp eyes also realized that Wang Ying must have been secretly taking care of the two bad opera singers who lived in seclusion and rarely went out to see people.
But what does it matter? Wang Ying is willing to do it, and she is the doctor of the brigade. No one wants to offend Wang Ying.
Old Mrs. Xu immediately became worried, for she was afraid that Wang Lingling was planning to find some problems with Cheng Shufen to attack Wang Ying.
Wang Lingling grinned, the wound from being whipped by Old Lady Xu was still painful.
She now realized that something was wrong. If she asked like this, others would indeed think she was a psychopath.
But Wang Lingling was very anxious. She learned from her husband's family that her father and brother had been arrested and sent to labor camps. This point in time suddenly reminded her of several things from her previous life.
One is about Cheng Shufen and Cheng Yu who were sent down from their brigade. Just for those work points in the previous life, Li Chunjuan jumped up and took the job of taking care of Cheng Shufen.
Of course, it was unnecessary for the people sent down to the countryside to be too attentive. Li Chunjuan would take care of them from time to time. But it was not that Li Chunjuan deliberately treated them harshly. She just didn't care much and just did her job casually.
Then, not long after the beginning of spring, Cheng Shufen died of illness. Before she died, she was short of food, so Cheng Yu cried and begged Tian Youfu, who gave Cheng Shufen two good meals. But she still could not be saved.
After Cheng Shufen died of illness, Cheng Yu could not return to the city and had to endure it here alone.
Cheng Yu was the invisible person of the team. Team leader Tian Youfu felt sorry for her and gave her some food in private. Cheng Yu survived by relying on things from the mountain and the food of the team.
Then a few years later, a middle-aged man who was well-dressed and looked extremely wealthy came to see Cheng Shufen in a car.
But Cheng Shufen was already dead, and the man was crying miserably at Cheng Shufen's grave. Li Chunjuan was terrified in her room, fearing that the man would hold her responsible for Cheng Shufen's death.
Fortunately, the man didn't say much, but just said that he wanted to take Cheng Yu away.
Before Cheng Yu left, the team leader Tian Youfu took out a gold ring and wanted to return it to the man. This ring was given to him by Cheng Shufen when she was dying, hoping that he would help take care of Cheng Yu.
The man was silent for a long time looking at the ring, and finally left the ring to Tian Youfu.
Wang Lingling came back this time because Cheng Shufen passed away around this time.
She wanted to snatch the gold ring and at the same time find out if Cheng Shufen had any other assets.
Wang Lingling thought, Tian Youfu didn't care much about Cheng Shufen, didn't he just give her two full meals before she died? She could do it too.
She planned to come here to put on a show this time and coax Cheng Shufen to give her the gold ring.
Wang Lingling moved uncomfortably: "Just tell me where it is, and I can go there by myself."
It would be best if Wang Ying didn't follow, as she could come to comfort Cheng Shufen who is at the critical moment of life and death.
Wang Ying: "... Wang Lingling, if you are sick, go get treatment."
It's true that you were reborn without any intelligence. What the hell did you live in your previous life
Wang Ying suddenly felt that looking at Wang Lingling any longer would be disrespectful to her intelligence.
"I don't know what you are going to do, but please stay away from me."
Wang Ying helped Old Mrs. Xu, who was feeling a little dizzy after her anger subsided, to sit back down.
Wang Lingling stopped talking after Wang Ying ridiculed her, and she knew that there was no point in trying to get anything out of it with Wang Ying.
"Humph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Do you think I can't find anyone to ask?"
Wang Lingling, with her face red from being beaten, picked up Zhao Xi, called Zhao Dong and walked out: "I'll ask someone."
Before she came here, she had already been to the shabby house where Cheng Shufen had lived in her previous life, but it was obvious that Cheng Shufen and her husband did not live there in this life.
Wang Lingling was not discouraged at all. She was short of money, so Cheng Shufen's gold ring was particularly important to her.
She was ready to get the ring to carry out her plan.
The plan in question was the second thing Wang Lingling remembered from her previous life.
In the early spring of this year, hailstorms caused disasters of varying severity in several surrounding communes. In the previous life, the Seventh Brigade replanted quickly, and although the grain production was slightly reduced that year, it was still enough to ensure that people would not go hungry.
But the other commune brigades were not so lucky.
Some brigades failed to replant in time, resulting in poor harvests. Some brigades sowed early, and all the spring seedlings died. There were not enough seeds to replant, so only part of the seeds could be replanted, resulting in a direct reduction of grain by half. In some communes, the distribution arrangements were not good, and the entire land was wasted.
All these factors resulted in food shortages this autumn.
The shortage was not limited to the countryside; long queues appeared at grain stations in the city as well.
Wang Lingling was very excited. She planned to take this opportunity to sell some grain and save up the first pot of gold for herself and Zhao Jun.
She had a good idea. The famine lasted for about a month and a half. It was not until grain was transferred from other places that the situation was gradually alleviated.
What she wanted was to seize this one and a half months to sell the stockpiled food.
It can at least be multiplied several times!
So she needed food and money.
If she had a gold ring, she could exchange it for money. She had seen that ring in her previous life. It didn't have any carvings, just a rough big ring that looked like it weighed at least ten or twenty grams.
She could sell it for 200 yuan if she sold it for recycling. She planned to use this money to stock up on food.
Wang Lingling dragged her two children away, apparently to ask someone where Cheng Shufen lived.
Wang Ying didn't follow, she had a hunch that Wang Lingling was applying her experience from her previous life to this life.
I just don’t know what opportunity Cheng Shufen has that she wants.
As soon as Wang Lingling left, several old ladies immediately started talking and guessing.
"What does she want to do with the modified elements?"
"Are you planning to let those two people bite Ying girl?"
"It doesn't look like... Do you think Lingling has been possessed by a ghost?"
"That's what I think. The two kids aren't that close to her, so why does she insist on being a stepmother?"
"And you see what she's wearing. Her pants are so baggy and skinny. What's her purpose?"
"Who knows? This person suddenly became weird. Look at the things she did. None of them looks like something a normal person would do."
…
Wang Ying smiled without saying anything. Even if we take rebirth into account, what Wang Lingling did was still outrageous.
Any normal person cannot understand her.
As we were chatting, Wu Guihua came.
Wu Guihua said to Wang Ying mysteriously, "Do you know why Wang Lingling came back?"
Wu Guihua: "She just came to the brigade office and asked our brigade leader for food without saying a word!"
Wang Ying was puzzled: "What food?"
Didn’t Wang Lingling’s food supply have already been transferred to her husband’s family
Wu Guihua had a look of having seen through it: "She was talking about Wang Yongshun and Wang Yaozong, both of whom worked this year, so their work points should be paid."
Wang Ying: "If we really want to get married, Li Chunjuan has to come and ask for it, right?"
Wu Guihua looked gossipy: "Haha, Li Chunjuan definitely can't come."
Wang Ying stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Wu Guihua's mouth and asked, "Tell me about it?"
Wu Guihua was very excited to talk: "My family is next to Li Chunjuan's family. When something happened to Wang's family a few days ago, the news spread to my family. Don't look at me, it wasn't me who spread it. It was mainly because the incident caused by Wang Yongshun and Wang Yaozong was too exciting. Several brigades around knew about it, and the commune also knew about it."
"Then one day when I went back to my parents' home, my mother told me that Li Chunjuan's parents had made a decision and asked Li Chunjuan to go back, saying that Wang Yongshun and Wang Yaozong were both in jail. It would be better to ask Li Chunjuan to go back to her parents' home and then find a man."
Although Wu Guihua was annoyed to death by Li Chunjuan, she still felt sad when she talked about it now.
"Her mother was crying and begging, saying that she was thinking about Li Chunjuan, but in fact she just wanted to marry Li Chunjuan again and get some more money for the bride price."
Although Li Chunjuan is old, there are too many bachelors and widowers in the countryside.
Li Chunjuan married an old widower with children. She couldn't get a high bride price, but she could always get some low one.
"I don't know how her mother persuaded Li Chunjuan, but she convinced her. Look, she started dating a few days after returning to her parents' home. I think they will get married soon."
Wu Guihua curled her lips and said, "I guess Li Chunjuan doesn't want to worry about food anymore. She can't take care of it."
After Wu Guihua finished speaking, she brought the topic back to Wang Lingling: "So the team leader said that if Li Chunjuan doesn't come to ask for the food, Wang Lingling can come and take away all the food from Wang Yongshun's family when the food is distributed in the fall."
If I don’t give it to Wang Lingling, no one else can. The whole family has broken up.
Wang Ying: "Why is Wang Lingling so obsessed with food? She didn't even look at the door when she came back this time. It seems like she doesn't care about Wang Yongshun at all."
Fortunately, Wang Ying had already prepared for a fight with Wang Lingling. In the end, the other party came back with two things in mind: one was to ask for food, and the other was to find Cheng Shufen.
Wu Guihua shrugged, "Who knows what this person is thinking. You didn't see it. Just now in the brigade office, the boy she brought wanted to touch the pills on the windowsill of the office. I told him not to touch them. Wang Lingling looked at me as if she wanted to eat me. She also said what was wrong with a child touching things, and that I had no love... her grandmother's love! If I hadn't stopped him, the little brat would have swallowed all the pills."
Wu Guihua: "I really don't know what she's thinking. She's such a fool as a stepmother. The two kids just order her around and don't even call her mom. They keep calling her stepmother. What do you think she wants?"
All topics related to Wang Lingling ultimately come down to the same conclusion: "What does she want?"
Wang Ying couldn't answer it, so who could understand Wang Lingling's train of thought
This person must have not lived a good life in his previous life, so he is trying hard to change his fate in his new life.
The key point is that her only chance to change her fate is to change a man, which is really ridiculous.
"Who knows? Maybe he just likes kids."
Wu Guihua curled her lips and said, "Why would you rather have your own children? Why did you have to raise someone else's children? And you raise them servilely. In front of those two children, you're even more protective than their own mother. It's a pity that they still call her their stepmother."
At this moment, stepmother Wang Lingling finally found out where Cheng Shufen and Cheng Yu lived.
She took her two children with her to take care of the dying Cheng Shufen.
Before leaving, Wang Lingling put Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi together and said to them kindly, "Mom will have something to do in a while, so please don't interrupt me, okay? When I finish my work, I will buy you some candy and a small car that you can pull back and drive away."
Zhao Dong felt awkward. He now knew that Wang Lingling was good to him, but his child's intuition still made him feel irritated when facing Wang Lingling.
If Zhao Dong was a little older, he would know that the way Wang Lingling looked at him could be described by later generations as "as if she was looking at a fine coin."
Anyone would feel unhappy if they were looked at like this.
Zhao Dong said sullenly, "Okay, hurry up."
He didn't want to come at first, but Wang Lingling had separated from her family and there was no one to help her take care of the children, so she had to bring the two children with her.
During this period, Wang Lingling became thinner than before the family split up, and she had to endure this day and night.
During the day, I have to work in the fields to earn work points, and in the meantime, I have to wash clothes and cook for the two children, and make sure they don’t run around. At night, I have to keep an eye on Zhao Xi and Zhao Dong to see if they wet the bed. If they wet the bed, I have to dry the quilt in the sun…
In a short period of time, Wang Lingling did all the housework that she had rarely done in the first half of her life.
This is also the reason why Wang Lingling is in a hurry to make money now.
The fifteen yuan that Zhao Jun gave her every month was only enough to support two children, and was far from enough to support her as an adult.
Wang Lingling encouraged herself, now that things have come to this, she must get the gold ring!
She pretended to pour a layer of water from her bag on her eyelids, then took out a cloth bag containing five or six bowls of flour and three or four steamed buns.
Wang Lingling was confident. In her previous life, Tian Youfu had to be found before he could be taken care of. The only food he was given was a few mixed flour buns and two white flour cakes.
This time she doubled the amount!
The safekeeping can make Cheng Shufen so moved that she will present the gold ring with both hands!
Wang Lingling squeezed her tears, pushed open Cheng Shufen's half-open door, and walked into the house crying.
"My poor sister, you are going to die soon. It is really heartbreaking. I am the daughter of our brigade who got married. I came back to my parents' home this time. It happened that something happened there and they don't need these grains. I will give you some so that you can eat them before you go. Don't sing opera in your next life. Look, these cakes..."
Wang Lingling raised her eyes, but the words she hadn’t finished speaking were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t make any sound.
Behind the half-open door, smoke was coming out of the room.
Cheng Shufen sat by the stove with a rosy face. On the other side sat one, two or three little girls, from big to small, all with chubby cheeks.
There was a pot of hot broth stewing on the stove, and one of the little girls was dipping a pancake into the broth.
Wang Lingling: ... No, this is different from what we agreed on!
