A Little Village Girl in the 70s Relies on Studying to Bring Glory to the Country

Wang Zhaozhao originally had parents. One day, her mother became her paternal aunt, and her father married a stepmother. Later, she gained two more younger sisters: one born to her paternal aunt, a...

Chapter 3 It’s so heartbreaking

After all, we have been mother and daughter for nearly five years. Are you going to abandon her so easily?

And her dad...

After thinking about it, Wang Zhaozhao figured it out. Forget it, just ignore her. As long as he doesn't use her as a punching bag and beat her at every turn, it's fine.

"Did you hear that?" Not getting a response, Shi Haiyan raised her voice.

Wang Zhaozhao didn't want to be the miserable little cabbage from Hebian Village, but he also didn't want to confront them head-on, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"Really? He's such a taciturn person. He only knows how to say 'hmm' and can't even reply 'I heard'..." Shi Haiyan muttered with disgust while curling her lips.

Wang Zhaozhao pretended not to hear.

"Xingwen, after dinner, please clear the table and wash the dishes." Wang Fangbing suddenly said to his eldest son.

Except for Wang Erbing and Wang Weiguo who was less than three years old, everyone else stayed there unexpectedly.

"good!"

Wang Xingwen agreed.

"What's good about that?" Xie Ailian angrily slapped Shi Haiyan, "Do your own work! If you want to be lazy, let your eldest son Baojia do it."

Wang Dahai has four grandsons: the eldest: Wang Xingwen, Wang Xingwu; the third: Wang Baojia, Wang Weiguo.

Shi Haiyan opened her mouth to retort, but Xie Ailian slammed the table and said, "Your father and I are still alive. It's not your turn to act tyrannically in this family. I'm really upset. You'd better be quiet. Otherwise, don't blame me for not treating you like a human being."

If Wang Fangbing hadn't said that and her eldest grandson hadn't been involved, the old lady wouldn't have said anything, but since she spoke out, the granddaughter is half a point more important than the daughter-in-law.

Shi Haiyan was not convinced. Wang Sanbing secretly pulled her. She shook her hands in dissatisfaction and asked Xie Ailian with her neck stiff, "Mom, from now on, when it comes to housework... will her share be the first wife's or the second wife's?"

Chen Meiru lowered her head, as if she didn't know Shi Haiyan was pointing at her.

"It's just you two sisters-in-law." Xie Ailian said unhappily. After a pause, she added, "In the future...when there are more people, we can divide it again."

“…”

Shi Haiyan suddenly became speechless.

Why did she suddenly think that she could relax more in the future?

Their family just added a joke, and there was no new member. There was one more eldest sister-in-law and one less second sister-in-law. She and Chen Meiru were still the sisters-in-law. Wang Zhaozhao was just a five-year-old girl and could not take on all the housework for the second wife.

It wasn't until the whistle for work blew that Shi Haiyan slapped her thigh and realized: No! She didn't want Zhao Yatou to take on the second wife's share of housework, but instead instructed the little girl to help her with some small chores!

Life is something that can always go on as long as you are alive.

Although his mother and father divorced and married his uncle, making their family a laughing stock in Hebian Village, Wang Zhaozhao didn't think it was a big deal as long as he didn't take other people's opinions seriously and ignored those who thought they were not malicious and made jokes...

Anyway, she didn't want to play with those snotty little girls in the village!

However, Wang Zhaozhao still took revenge on Chen Meiru out of a narrow-minded attitude.

After building up his mood for ten days, Wang Zhaozhao, who had become sullen, suddenly called Chen Meiru "auntie" at the dinner table.

Everyone was stunned on the spot. Then, in the dead silence, Chen Meiru dropped her chopsticks and looked up at Wang Zhaozhao, her expression gradually cracking...

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Time also smoothed out Wang Zhaozhao's last bit of resentment. She even lost her curiosity about why Chen Meiru abandoned Wang Erbing for Wang Fangbing.

Maybe it was also because her life was not as bad as she thought after that bloody night.

Her mother... Oh, her aunt-in-law has become the most honest woman in the village since that night, and she talks less and does more.

Her third aunt was jumping around happily, but for some reason, her grandmother particularly disliked her third aunt, and every time she couldn't jump away, she was ruthlessly suppressed.

As for her stepmother, she was a widow who married into the family with a large family. She was very good at saving face and never beat or scolded her in private because she ignored her at all. She used the most cruel trick on a five-year-old girl - ignoring her.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhaozhao is a person with memories of her previous life and has a primary school education in the 21st century. Otherwise, her stepmother and stepsister deliberately ignored her, and her father didn't care about her and treated his stepdaughter better than her biological daughter. It would be strange if she wasn't gloomy and twisted!

"Second sister, can I go wash clothes with you?"

Wang Zhaozhao was holding a basin and preparing to go to the river to wash clothes when a small hand grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Not good." Wang Zhaozhao said lightly.

The little girl was the daughter of her stepmother. Her name was Wang Jingjing. She was born to her stepmother when she was six years old.

Her aunt also gave birth to a daughter that year, who was forty days older than Wang Jingjing and was named Wang Qingqing.

Without mentioning the bloody things that happened between the adults, Wang Zhaozhao has no feelings for her two sisters who are only related by blood!

"I can help you with your laundry."

"Need not."

Wang Zhaozhao brushed Wang Jingjing away and strode away with the basin in his hand.

On the river dam at the entrance of the village, Chen Zhaodi, who was washing clothes, saw Wang Zhaozhao and waved enthusiastically, "Zhaozhao, you're here."

Wang Zhaozhao curled his lips and squatted down opposite Chen Zhaodi.

Chen Zhaodi watched her take clothes out of the wooden basin and couldn't help asking her, "Your stepsister washed all your family's clothes again, but only yours?"

"I like to wash myself." Wang Zhaozhao said as he took the clothes to soak in the river.

"You should tell your grandma and the others." Chen Zhaodi acted as if she hadn't heard Wang Zhaozhao's words and continued, "Your stepmother and stepsister are clearly bullying you. Every time it's their turn to do the laundry, they don't wash yours."

"When it's my aunt's or my third aunt's turn, I wash the clothes myself too." Wang Zhaozhao looked up at Chen Zhaodi and said with a smile, "You wash all the clothes in your family. You have to come to wash clothes every day, so you often run into me."

Chen Zhaodi: “……!”

Although, it's really hurtful for you to say that.

"You have a well at home, but you still wash clothes in the river. Are you doing this on purpose? You want the villagers to know that you wash your own clothes, right?"

"We're not the only family in the village with a well. Don't we all wash clothes and pig feed in the river?"

Wang Zhaozhao quickened her movements. She was wearing simple clothes in early summer, so they were easy to wash. She finished in no time.

Seeing her finish washing the clothes quickly and about to leave with the basin in hand, Chen Zhaodi, who still had a mountain of clothes piled up in front of her, quickly called out to her, "Zhao Zhao, are you leaving now?"

"Well, I have to go up the mountain to collect grass for pigs..."

"Help me wash the clothes, and I'll take you to Aotori to pick grass for the pigs."

"I have to pee urgently, so I'll go back first."

Wang Zhaozhao smiled at her and left.

Chen Zhaodi gritted her teeth in anger. Suddenly, with a "swish" sound, the clothes in her hands were rubbed and torn.

Her eyes went dark, she was going to die, she was going to die...
