Chapter 72: Don't Call Me Sister
It was already late, but there was still a long way to go from Xiangyang Production Team to the county town. Lü Guangzhi found a fellow villager and helped Yu Manman settle down.
No matter how ugly things got today, she is still a researcher. Since she came here, she can't just kick people out so late at night. Otherwise, if something happens, their village can't afford to take the blame.
In the grove on the other side, Bai Chunyang stood in front, with Qiao Nianyu sobbing behind him and Qiao Wangshu remaining silent.
Looking at her sister who hadn't said a word, Qiao Nianyu felt extreme fear.
"Sister, older sister..."
"Smack!"
"Shut up, don't call me that. I've told you before to stop your harmful tricks, but what did you do? You've only gotten worse. Qiao Nianyu, you and your mother are truly cut from the same cloth."
"Sister, how could you say that about Mom? She's your mother too. If she knew, I don't know how upset she would be. Besides, it wasn't me who caused trouble today, it was Yu Manman. She's already been punished. Of course, I was also wrong. I misjudged people. Sister, please forgive me. I really didn't know about these things. I came here because I haven't seen my second sister in a long time. I came to see her. Things aren't what you think."
Bai Chunyang didn't believe a single word she said.
When she first heard about the Agricultural Research Institute's entrance exam, she immediately told Wang Shu. But in the end, it was Qiao Nianyu who got into the institute. It's easy to guess what happened in between.
Unfortunately, she was on a mission at the time, so even if she had found out, it wouldn't have helped. She just didn't expect that when she returned from her leave, Wang Shu had already gone to the countryside.
I signed up secretly.
This shows how much she despised the Qiao family, and how much she suffered injustice there.
“Wangshu, don’t be afraid, your sister is here. From now on, your sister will be stationed in the military. So will you. I wrote to you last time but didn’t receive a reply. Luckily, I heard from a comrade that you and Captain Zhou’s fiancée are in the same production team. It was also because of his help that I was able to find you.”
Qiao Wangshu couldn't help but want to cry, and choked out, "Sister."
She didn't cry when she was forced to give up her opportunity at the agricultural research institute, she didn't cry when she signed up to go to the countryside alone, and she didn't cry when all her belongings were taken away when she went to the countryside. Now that she has finally seen her sister, she feels nothing but endless grievances.
My maternal grandparents are getting old. When they introduced my aunt to my father, they thought that since they were family, my aunt would take good care of her. But they had no idea what kind of life they were living.
Luckily, my cousin was there; otherwise, she probably would have died long ago.
Seeing the deep sisterly affection between them, Qiao Nianyu felt a little resentful. She knew that Ming Chunyang and she were sisters from the same mother, but she only had eyes for Qiao Wangshu.
"Sister, it's so good that you're here. I'm at the agricultural research institute in the county now, so I can visit you more often. Sister, you know that Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma are the ones who make the decisions in this family. There are some things I can't control. I know that you and your second sister have suffered all these years, but I... I... I feel bad too!"
Bai Chunyang slapped her across the face and then grabbed her neck tightly.
"Qiao Nianyu, next time you see me, call me Comrade Bai. My surname is Bai, and yours is Qiao. What kind of sister am I to you? And what kind of second sister is Wang Shu to you? She is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. What are you? You've fooled a bunch of idiots in the Qiao family by being slick and ingratiating. Even your shameless mother wouldn't dare to talk to me like this. And you're still going on and on."
"Uh... let go of me."
"Don't bother Wang Shu anymore, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Bai Chunyang forcefully shoved Qiao Nianyu away, and the latter fell to the ground like a small white flower, her broken appearance heartbreaking. Unfortunately, neither of the two people in front of her looked up to her, so naturally they didn't feel sorry for her.
Just as Bai Chunyang was about to pull Qiao Wangshu away, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Qiao Nianyu.
"Oh, by the way, don't always try to provoke Shen Yuzhu. Be careful, the Zhou family won't let you off the hook, and there's also the Qiao family behind you."
"Sister... Comrade Bai, I... I didn't..."
"roll!"
Qiao Nianyu couldn't take it anymore and ran away, covering her face. The fellow villager who had been waiting nearby grabbed her and took her and Yu Manman home. He kept cursing her bad luck all the way. Even though Qiao Nianyu took out two yuan for lodging and meals, she still couldn't get a smile from him.
Once inside the house, Yu Manman grabbed Qiao Nianyu. This woman had lost all credibility with her, and she needed to make her write down her promise in black and white before she could feel at ease.
Qiao Wangshu led Bai Chunyang back to the educated youth settlement. The two sisters squeezed into one quilt at night, just like when they first moved in together.
Today, Shen Yuming and several children put in a lot of effort. After eating, they started to feel sleepy. The courtyard where they used to live had not been cleaned up yet, and all their belongings were now in another room of Shen Yuzhu's.
The kang (heated brick bed) wasn't big, but it was just enough for the mother and her children to sleep on.
The worst case was Zhang Jie. After eating, Panpan, Qianqian, and the other two children fetched water to wash up and then climbed onto their bunks. Qiancheng, being the youngest, couldn't resist the drowsiness and dozed off while washing his feet.
Inside the main room, Zhou Congsheng and Shen Yuzhu stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"Yes, or I could try to squeeze into the educated youth settlement, or I could ask Captain Lü's family. Lü Jianshe lives alone there, so they should be able to accommodate me..."
Thinking of Lü Jianshe's mouth, Shen Yuzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Let's stay here. Go wash up first, and I'll get you some clothes."
When a brand-new set of underwear, pajamas, and socks was handed to him, Zhou Congsheng blushed.
"Cough cough... what is this?"
"I bought this for you before, but I forgot to bring it when I visited you last time. You can wear it today, I've already washed it."
Zhou Congsheng's face flushed red, but when he turned to look at Shen Yuzhu's retreating figure, he suddenly felt a little smug. Yuzhu, she really has nothing but him in her heart now!
The thought of sharing a room with her that night made my heart beat even faster.
When Shen Yuming arrived carrying his future plans, he saw Shen Yuzhu making the bed and was taken aback.
"This is?"
"Sister, don't take Qiancheng back. There's no need to move him. That room is where you and the children live. He'll feel awkward. Let him stay here tonight. It'll be fine."
"But, but you're only engaged, Yuzhu, this isn't appropriate. Otherwise, how about letting Xiao Zhou stay at the Zhang family's house for one night?"
Shen Yuzhu shook her head. "Forget it, it's a mess over there. There are no beds or heated beds. Let's not bother."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shen Yuming hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything more. He just suddenly watched her move the cabinet on the kang.
Shen Yuming: "......."
After quickly washing up, Zhou Congsheng paused in front of the bedroom door, then unbuttoned a few buttons on his collar. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw two huge cabinets placed in the middle of the kang (heated brick bed).
When there are two beds made up on both sides.
"........"
