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 97: Really a scumbag

Wang Zhaozhao felt that her fourth uncle was not talking nonsense, and she might really get frostbite.

This is the first time I’ve gotten frostbite in two lifetimes, and I’m a little nervous.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run. In winter, many children in the village suffer from frostbite, and some adults also get it.

It looked scary, all black, red and swollen, then cracked and filled with pus...

"I never got frostbite when I was working before, but I went to school this year... scholars are just pampered, right?" Xie Ailian glared at Wang Zhaozhao unhappily.

No matter what, I still went to get it.

Wang Zhaozhao herself was speechless. She thought about last winter when not only would she brave the cold wind to pick grass for pigs, but she would also wash it in the river and take it home.

I didn't get frostbite that way, and today I was just living a peaceful life as a student, but now I'm getting frostbite.

"Yes... Keep it for yourself and save it for later use..." Xie Ailian came back and threw a clam box on Wang Zhaozhao's notebook. "I bought it last year and never really wanted to use it, so I kept it for you."

"Thank you, grandma." Wang Zhaozhao smiled and thanked her.

Tsk!

Xie Ailian was disgusted and went back to continue sewing shoe soles.

"The uncle you met today, his younger brother can make a firebox..." Wang Sibing said casually while picking up the firewood with tongs.

He paused and looked at Xie Ailian, "Mom, one dollar each, I've ordered some."

Xie Ailian frowned, looked up at the Wang Baojia brothers who were doing homework with Wang Zhaozhao, and said to Wang Sibing, "I'll talk to them later. If you want it, just take one yuan and twenty cents."

Eh?

Isn’t it just one dollar?

Wang Zhaozhao, who had smeared clam oil on his hands, looked at Xie Ailian in surprise, and then looked at Wang Sibing who was also surprised.

So, her fourth uncle's business talent was inherited from her grandmother?

"Why are you all looking at me? If you want to buy something without a ticket, don't you need to rely on others? Besides, if you use a firebox carefully, it will last for ten years without any problem." Xie Ailian was not angry, but just said leisurely.

"Grandma is right!"

"Mom is right!"

Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing nodded in unison. Calculating it this way, they felt that adding two cents was not excessive at all, and even adding fifty cents would not be excessive either.

The matter has been settled. Wang Sibing doesn't need to step in. Xie Ailian will handle it.

Wang Sibing didn't say it, but he made up his mind in his heart that every extra two cents would be given to his mother.

Wang Zhaozhao's eyes rolled around, and she grinned at Xie Ailian, "Grandma, you can also talk to Xiaomei's grandmother. She's still with the captain uncle and the others..."

Then, he turned around and asked Wang Sibing, "Uncle Si, how many did you order? If others want more, you can order one too, right?"

I can earn 20 cents per piece, 2 yuan for 10 pieces, and 10 yuan for 50 pieces...

I feel like I’m going to post it!

"I ordered twenty, considering you guys are studying. I'll keep two at home and send a few to your Aunt Qiao's family..."

"Fourth uncle, excellent." Wang Zhaozhao gave Wang Sibing a thumbs up.

Wang Sibing thought he was being praised for his quick thinking and money-making skills, so he shook his head proudly and said, "Just average, third in the world."

"Fourth uncle, a mother-in-law will definitely be more and more satisfied with a son-in-law like you the more she sees him." Wang Zhaozhao had already wiped his hands and was about to take off his shoes and wipe his feet.

Xie Ailian watched from the side, rolling her eyes constantly, and raised her hand to appreciate the soles of each person's shoes.

"Your nephews need them, and you bought a few for your partner. If there are any other families in the village who need them, you can just share them. This is not business!"

He got carried away.

Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Sibing nodded in unison again, saying, "Nanny is right!"

Sit upright and listen to the instructions attentively.

"Zhao girl, your feet are not in good condition. They are already swollen..." Wang Sibing changed the subject.

After rubbing his hands with clam oil, Wang Zhaozhao felt that his feet also needed to be rubbed. Just as he took his feet out, he heard Wang Sibing say that and subconsciously wanted to pull them back.

However, her feet were not in good condition. They were too itchy just now, and she rubbed them so hard that the skin was broken.

"Don't apply that." Wang Dahai, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up and said to Wang Sibing, "Lao Si, go to your plot and pull up some radishes."

Wang Sibing got up and left without saying a word.

Wang Baojia, who had been silent the whole time, finally got his chance and said, "Sister Zhao, your feet are swollen like pig's trotters."

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

All the beatings that naughty child received were unjust.

Wang Baojia still had no idea what was happening. "If it gets any worse, you won't even be able to wear shoes..."

At this point, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. "In that case, you can't go to school, right?"

Okay.

Suddenly, I also want to get frostbite.

Wang Zhaozhao looked at him with dead eyes, and unconsciously rubbed his feet against the legs of the stool...

Bang!

Xie Ailian, who sews shoe soles, finds it very convenient to take pictures of people.

"Your skin is already broken, and you're still rubbing it." He glared at Wang Zhaozhao angrily, "You really don't want to go to school?!"

That won’t do!

Wang Zhaozhao gritted his teeth, but, "Nut, it's really itchy."

Wow, why is she so miserable?

"Just endure the itch!" Xie Ailian said angrily and mercilessly.

"Oh." Wang Zhaozhao was about to cry out of grievance, and secretly looked for the system, "System, your so-called physical skills, can strengthen the body? They are so strong that even I, who have never had frostbite in two lifetimes, got frostbite." Humph!

It's true that you are taking your anger out on others.

However, this accusation is reasonable, as she did use a physical skill.

Honestly speaking, the system rewards, whether it's intelligence points, combat power, or physical skill points, don't have any noticeable effect.

"Host, you are not going to blame this system for your frostbite, are you?" The system mechanically expressed a silence.

"Then tell me, why did I get frostbite this year?" Wang Zhaozhao asked back in an unreasonable tone.

I have to say something to distract myself, otherwise it will make me even more itchy.

Then, she felt that her restless little feet were held by Xie Ailian.

“…”

Wang Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xie Ailian cautiously.

"Hurry up and do your homework!" Xie Ailian said with a sullen face, muttering, "I used to think you were a worry-free person...but you're becoming less and less worry-free..."

Wang Zhaozhao licked his lips, looking a bit shameless, and grinned at her, "That's because I know that my grandparents love me, and my fourth uncle is also good to me."

If no one loves you, then isn't it just about being sensible? Children who are loved don't have to live cautiously; they can be lively and willful.

Isn't that what she is like as a ten-year-old child?

Xie Ailian couldn't bear to look at her, and moved the stool that had been moved straight to the side again, but she didn't loosen her grip on Wang Zhaozhao's feet.

Wang Dahai just silently added a piece of firewood into the stove.

Wang Zhaozhao grinned and said nothing. While Wang Sibing was not back yet, she hurried to do some homework.

The summoned system: “……!”

Its host is really a scumbag.
