During the three days that Chu Yue was away from home, Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei went out early and came back late every day, spending the whole day on their private plots.
Chen Fengying and the others were watching them closely, not giving them any time to slack off or rest.
The scorching summer sun bakes the earth and the people in the fields.
Chu Yaoyao was tortured to the point of having her skin peeled off. Her body was covered with wounds and blisters of varying sizes, and her spirit was worn out to the extreme.
Even though it was so hard, she didn't even have the chance to see Lu Zhanlin. Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue seemed to have disappeared these days.
If you work so hard, it is still worth it if you can make a good impression in front of Lu Zhanlin.
But even Lu Zhanlin is not here, who are they performing for?
Li A'mei found some ointment in the house and applied it carefully to Chu Yaoyao, who screamed from time to time.
"Oh... Mom... It hurts so much... It hurts so much... Crazy! All the women in this compound are crazy. It's ok for them to farm at home, but they are still farming after becoming military wives. They are really crazy... Mom, I don't want to work anymore... Mom... This is not a good life at all... It's better to stay at home!"
"Yaoyao, stop it. We finally escaped and worked so hard to find Lu Zhanlin. Do you want to just let it go? Think about the good days ahead. You'll soon be the captain's wife!"
It has come to this point. Li A-mei has paid so much and spent so much money. Even though the title of "the team leader's wife" is out of reach, she still wants to hold on to it.
Instead, Chu Yaoyao became the most sober person.
"Mom, Lu Zhanlin has a broken head and a broken leg. What's the point of him being the regiment commander? He might take off his uniform and be kicked out of the compound at any time!"
"Mom, have you ever thought about why that little bitch Chu Yue agreed to come back? Wasn't it just because she saw Lu Zhanlin's broken leg? If Lu Zhanlin was really that good, would she agree so readily?"
"I think this is the little girl's trick! She is plotting against us! Mom, this kind of barren place is not a place for human beings to stay. I want to go home... I want to go home... Mom... Let's go back."
Chu Yaoyao was really tired, really scared, really didn't want to do farm work anymore, and really looked down on the short-legged Lu Zhanlin.
What captain’s wife? She doesn’t want her anymore!
"Mom, you've always said I was pretty since I was a kid. Director Lin's son has always been interested in me. I rejected him before because I had to go to college. After I go back, I'll be with Director Lin's son. Maybe I can become the director's wife in the future! Mom, think about it, isn't being the director's wife better than being the group leader's wife!"
Li A'mei thought about what Chu Yaoyao said. They did spend too much time and effort on Lu Zhanlin, but gained nothing. Instead, both of them were exhausted.
But they had come here with so much difficulty and suffered so much, but now they were going back empty-handed, which made Li A-mei feel unwilling.
She is unwilling to accept this!
It is said that no one knows a girl better than her mother, and the person who knows Li A-mei best is Chu Yaoyao.
Chu Yaoyao showed her intelligence and talent at this time.
She quickly stood up and said to Li A-mei, "Mom, you just can't bear to part with the money. I found the money! In the cabinet in the room, there is a pile of bills and money, which adds up to about two or three hundred yuan.
When Chu Yue left, she emptied out our house. Now it's our turn to empty theirs!
Chu Yaoyao looked around inside and outside, and continued to say to Li Amei, "Let's take away all the valuable things in this room. That electric fan, that radio! The washbasin and toothpaste are also worth a few dollars. Mom, all these things together are worth a lot of money. Anyway, we will definitely not lose out on this trip."
"Yaoyao, what you said... does make some sense."
Li A-mei was gradually persuaded and nodded slightly.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and reached a conclusion tacitly.
Take the money! Empty the house! Leave!
Therefore, on the fourth day, before daybreak, they had to search the house for all the valuables before Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin returned, and before Chen Fengying came to arrest them for work.
Chu Yaoyao was holding a handbag filled with Chu Yue's clothes, and she wanted to take them all away.
Li A-mei had even more bags and packages on her, not only washbasins and toothpaste, but even soap. She took away everything she could, leaving nothing behind.
Chu Yaoyao urged, "Mom, are you okay? Let's go quickly."
Sister Li grabbed an enamel cup and three aluminum lunch boxes, and came out carrying a bunch of things, "Okay! Let's go!"
Chu Yaoyao asked anxiously, "Mom, did you bring the bills and money?"
"I brought it. I sewed a pocket on the inside of my pants and stuffed the money inside. No one will find it. Yaoyao, no matter who you meet on the train this time, don't eat their food!"
They had been cheated by human traffickers once before, and the painful experience was still fresh in their memory.
Just like that, as the sky brightened, Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei ransacked the house and left like thieves.
Chu Yaoyao walked in front and opened the door to the yard.
"Mom, we—"
Her words urging Li A'mei came to an abrupt halt because there were two people standing outside the door.
It turned out to be Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao.
Chu Yue crossed her arms over her chest, looking like she was enjoying a good show. She wasn't surprised at all when she saw Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei acting suspiciously, and she even asked with a smile.
"Hey, it's not even daybreak yet, where are you going with all these bags?"
Chu Yaoyao's face flashed with panic, but she suppressed it fiercely and retorted, "Where we go has nothing to do with you? Chu Yue, I don't want Lu Zhanlin with a broken leg anymore. Let him continue to be your disabled husband."
"No more?" Chu Yue said with a playful smile, "Chu Yaoyao, you don't want to be the captain's wife anymore? It's only been three days, and you can't hold on after three days of work? Are you going to run away and go home?"
"Chu Yue! Don't be so ungrateful! Remember! I was the one who gave you this engagement! You owe me for the rest of your life! I am a generous person and don't bear grudges, so I won't fight with you!" Even when Chu Yaoyao was hungry, she still felt that Chu Yue owed her.
Chu Yue found it ridiculous after hearing this.
Chu Yaoyao was still arrogant, pointing at Chu Yue and saying, "A good dog doesn't block the road! Get out of the way!"
Chu Yue sneered, "You can ask me to move aside, but put down your things! And - return the money you stole!"
