Chapter 529 It’s Not Even Daybreak Yet
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 watched them closely from the side, 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. It was as if Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue had disappeared these days.
If you work so hard but can make a good impression in front of Lu Zhanlin, it is still worth it.
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.
'Ah... 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 think you're going to let it go like this? 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 "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's brain is broken, and his legs are broken. 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's plotting against us! Mom, this kind of barren place is not a place for people 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 little. Director Lin's son at the steel plant has always been interested in me. I turned him down before because I had to go to college. After I go back, I'll be with Director Lin's son. Maybe I can become his wife in the future! Mom, think about it, isn't being his wife better than being his wife?"
Li A'mei thought about what Chu Yaoyao said. They had indeed spent 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 hardship and suffered so much, but now they were going back empty-handed, which made Li A'mei feel unwilling.
She is unwilling to accept it!
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 some money! In the cabinet in the room, there's a pile of bills and money, about two or three hundred yuan in total.
When Chu Yue left, she emptied out our house. Now it’s our turn to empty theirs!
Chu Yaoyao looked around and continued to say to Li A'mei, "Let's take away all the valuable things in this room. That electric fan, that radio! The washbasin and toothpaste are all worth a few dollars. Mom, all these things together are worth a lot of money. Anyway, this trip will definitely not be a loss."
"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 space! Leave!
Therefore, on the fourth day, before dawn, they had to take advantage of the fact that Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin had not returned yet, and before Chen Fengying came to arrest them to do the work, to clean out all the valuables in the house.
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 bags 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."
Li A-mei grabbed an enamel cup and three aluminum lunch boxes, and came out carrying a bunch of things, "Alright! Let's go!"
Chu Yaoyao asked anxiously, "Mom, did you bring the bills and money?"
"I brought it, I brought it. I sewed a pocket on the inside of my pants and stuffed the money in there. No one will find it. Yaoyao, this time on the train, no matter who you meet, 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 stopped abruptly 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 still dark, and you're carrying so many bags, where are you going?"
A flash of panic crossed Chu Yaoyao's face, but she suppressed it fiercely and retorted, "What does where we go have 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 gave you this engagement! You owe me your whole life! I am a magnanimous 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, however, remained arrogant and pointed at Chu Yue, 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 belongings! And—return the money you stole!"
