Chapter 5: Cutting off the firewood, reporting letter

Inside the cabin, in Chu Yaoyao's room.

Chu Yue sat down on the small bed covered with pink sheets. On the ground in front of her was a large red basin that every household in the 1970s used.

【Picture of large red basin】

With a loud splash, two thermos of hot water and a bucket of cold water were poured into the basin, and white mist rose up.

Chu Yue reached out to test the water temperature and it was a little hot.

But in this weather, it’s more comfortable to wash with hot water.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yuanbao who was huddled in the corner.

The little boy was frozen silly at first, his whole body stiff as a fool. After he got into the house and his body temperature returned to normal, he gradually woke up, light appeared in his eyes, and his true appearance gradually revealed.

The little body was curled up in the corner, looking like a pitiful creature, but its eyes were black and bright, and its two little hands were clenched into fists.

Chu Yue glanced over and seemed to see a small animal.

In some harsh living environments, there are often small animals that are left alone because they are weak and lack the ability.

Some people see that the small animals are small and think they are prey that can be caught, so they become careless.

This time, they were totally wrong.

Beasts are beasts, no matter how big or small, they are all ferocious by nature, and it is the careless humans who will become their food.

The same is true of the little boy in front of me.

Lu Yuanbao was able to survive in a remote and backward village without a father or a mother. He was definitely not an ordinary child.

Chu Yue waved at him and gave the order.

"Come here, take off your clothes and take a shower."

Lu Yuanbao just raised his head slightly, glanced at Chu Yue with his dark eyes, and remained motionless.

The steaming hot mist should be a fatal attraction to children who are suffering from cold.

But the little boy was unmoved and didn't even look at it.

Seeing Lu Yuanbao's indifference, Chu Yue was not angry at all. Instead, she curled the corners of her mouth.

Interesting, and a bit stubborn.

Chu Yue stopped talking nonsense and stood up and walked over.

She reached out to pull Lu Yuanbao.

The little boy was curled up motionless, but the moment Chu Yue reached out her hand, he quickly reached out and grabbed the back of Chu Yue's hand.

The little beast bared his claws.

Unfortunately, Chu Yue was well prepared.

She was on guard, and the moment the little boy made a move, she grabbed his shoulder with her backhand.

Then she just exerted a little force with her arms and Lu Yuanbao was clamped in her arms.

Chu Yue was using the original owner's body, and her strength had not yet returned, but her instinctive grappling and fighting skills had already reached perfection, and she would never forget them even if she died.

It's just a matter of suppressing a little boy, it's an easy thing to do.

The next moment.

Chu Yue stripped off the old, torn and dirty clothes on the little boy and threw the naked child into the red basin!

Boom.

Before Lu Yuanbao could react to what was happening, he was already sitting naked in the hot water.

So warm.

A burst of heat instantly warmed his frozen limbs, gradually spreading throughout his body and freezing his resistance.

Lu Yuanbao loosened his clenched fists for a moment, but when he saw Chu Yue beside him, he immediately clenched his fists again.

Such a young child has suffered so much and is wary of everyone who approaches him.

Even if this person is now his nominal "mother".

Chu Yue narrowed her eyes and watched all of Lu Yuanbao's actions.

She didn't say anything to comfort him, but instead warned him.

"If you dare to grab me, I'll throw you out right now! Do you want to freeze naked or take a shower obediently? Just choose."

three.

two.

one.

Lu Yuanbao sat in the warm basin of water, motionless.

When he was hidden outside the door with his clothes on, he was so cold that he almost fainted. If he was thrown out naked, he would have frozen to death in a few minutes.

At the critical moment of life and death, Lu Yuanbao surrendered to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue smiled with satisfaction, "Okay. Since you choose to take a bath, then be a good boy."

Talking.

Chu Yue picked up a towel, wet it in the basin, and then scrubbed Lu Yuanbao's body up and down.

The original owner had chilblains on both hands, and his fingers with chilblains would hurt when they touched hot water.

Chu Yue didn't even frown, she endured the pain and kept moving her hands.

Lu Yuanbao was dirty and smelly. After washing with a basin of black water, his exposed body was just skin and bones. Not only was he thin, but there were also many bruises on his body.

New injuries piled on top of old ones should never happen to a child.

Chu Yue frowned, and felt a little more pity for the little animal-like child.

She rubbed Lu Yuanbao's face with a towel, then threw the wet towel at his crotch, covering his little hot pepper.

"The water's getting cold. You can't wash anymore. Wring out the towel and then dry yourself off."

This time, Lu Yuanbao did not resist. He did whatever Chu Yue said. He wrung out the towel with his little hands and carefully wiped his wet body.

After doing all this, Lu Yuanbao stood in the basin, looking at the old clothes thrown in the distance, hesitating whether to reach out and take them.

Chu Yue reached out from behind him, picked him up, and stuffed the naked little boy into the quilt.

This room belongs to Chu Yaoyao, and the quilt also belongs to Chu Yaoyao. It is the best cotton quilt, fluffy and soft.

After Lu Yuanbao was stuffed into the quilt, it was like he fell into a pile of cotton.

He had never felt such softness before and blinked in disbelief.

Chu Yue wrapped Lu Yuanbao from head to toe and told him, "Lie under the quilt and don't move."

She strode forward and opened the door.

Chu Yue easily moved the heavy red basin to the outside of the door and shouted to the people.

"Chu Yaoyao, pour out the bath water!"

Then, without waiting for Chu Yaoyao's reaction, he slammed the door shut again!

Chu Yue didn't care about Chu Yaoyao who was jumping with anger outside the door.

"Mom, look at her! She even asked me to pour the bath water! That's my room, and I haven't even taken out a lot of my stuff yet. How could I let that little beggar take a bath in my room!"

"Yaoyao, please bear with it for a while. This is the last night. When they both get on the train tomorrow, it will be you and me who will have the final say in this household!"

"But……"

"But what but? If Chu Yue is not allowed to marry him, do you want to marry him? And become the stepmother of a little beggar?"

"Mom! I'm not crazy! How could I possibly be willing to marry Lu Zhanlin! He's already thirty years old! The village party secretary even said he was injured, his face was disfigured, and his legs were broken, otherwise why would he retire from the front lines? I don't want to marry him!"

"Since you don't want to get married, just be content and listen to me. I've made all the arrangements for you. After Chu Yue leaves, you can go to Shanghai to attend university. Once you're in Shanghai, there are all kinds of men around."

The mother and daughter thought they were talking quietly, but they didn't know that the walls had ears. Chu Yue in the room heard everything that Li A-mei and her daughter were talking about.

No wonder Li A'mei had planned the marriage to the original owner from the very beginning. It turned out that Lu Zhanlin was a disfigured and disabled old man.

Chu Yue left the door and immediately started rummaging through the drawers in the room.

She knew clearly from the original owner's memory that Chu Yaoyao's academic performance was terrible and she failed all the subjects.

In this case, these grades will definitely be written on the final report card.

A few minutes later.

Chu Yue found the report card hidden by Chu Yaoyao in the corner of the bottom drawer of the desk.

Not just one, but all the transcripts from freshman year to senior year of high school were stuffed in the same place.

It really was effortless.

Chu Yue found the envelope and stamps again, and immediately sat down to start writing the letter.

She wants to write a letter of complaint!

This letter of complaint was not sent to the local admissions office. The fact that Li A-mei was able to switch the original owner's and Chu Yaoyao's grades so easily was probably because she had connections in the admissions office and bribed the people inside.

If the report letter is written to the local admissions office, it is likely to be intercepted by that person midway and the report will not be effective.

Chu Yue must remove the firewood from under the cauldron.

She wrote this letter of complaint to the admissions office of the Shanghai university that admitted Chu Yaoyao.

There are students and teachers from Shanghai University there. Even if Li A-mei's arms are long, she can't reach there.

Chu Yue quickly wrote the contents of the letter of denunciation, then put Chu Yaoyao's three years of high school transcripts in it, sealed the envelope, and affixed a stamp.

The evidence is irrefutable, mission accomplished!

After doing all this, Chu Yue still didn't hear Lu Yuanbao's voice.

She turned her head and looked—
