uncle?
When she thought of this word, Lu Manyue's body trembled involuntarily.
Li Fen has always been harsh on her, and her family members are also quite vicious to Lu Manyue.
When she was able to go to school, Li Fen said that her uncle was an intellectual and had no strength, so he could not do farm work and had not waited for a chance to work in the factory. But she only had an older brother and a younger brother, and she could not bear to watch them starve to death.
Not only did she take the family's food coupons and money to her parents' home every now and then, one day she even said she had thought of a way to make money. She said she had heard that rabbits reproduce quickly and can be released quickly, so if you raise them well, you can make a lot of money in a year.
However, whether you are farming or developing a side business, you must abide by the corresponding regulations.
Some communes allowed their members to raise some livestock themselves, but if they raised only one, it had to be sold to the state first. If they raised two, they could hand one in and slaughter the other in exchange for work points or sell it within the collective organization for tickets or money.
However, there is a type of people who are not allowed to privately raise and sell livestock.
If people without proper jobs keep children privately, they will be subject to the capitalist tail being cut off.
If you are discovered, confiscation would be the lightest punishment, but you will be accused and perhaps even criticized.
At that time, Li Ruliang was the kind of person who was idle and didn't work or farm, so he didn't have the conditions to raise rabbits.
Lu Dashan disagreed with Li Ruliang raising rabbits, but Li Fen insisted and said that her brother and younger brother would be careful and do it secretly.
Indeed, in those days, many people lived very sinful lives. Some were starving to the point of being skin and bones, and some people even starved to death in some remote areas.
The black market also emerged during those difficult times.
As long as I don’t get caught, I’ll make as much money as I can, which is better than starving to death.
The money to buy the rabbits came from Lu Dashan's salary, and Li Fen asked Lu Manyue to cut the grass every day after school, carrying a small basket up and down the mountain.
I have to harvest two baskets of crops every day before I can go home. After I get home, I have to cook and clean the house. I am busy until nine o'clock in the evening before I have time to do my homework.
Although it was said that Li Ruliang raised rabbits, he actually did not touch them at all. He was afraid that the Lu family would share the money after selling the rabbits, so every time the rabbits grew to more than three kilograms, he would rush to sell them on the black market.
I don’t know how much he got from the sale, but he didn’t spend a penny on it and spent it all on himself.
Li Fen also sends Lu Dashan’s salary to her parents’ home every month.
Still can't say enough.
Finally, because he had an argument with someone in the black market and offended that person, they targeted him and followed him to his home. They discovered that he had raised rabbits privately without reporting it, and had not handed them over in the required proportion. When they wanted to drag him out for criticism, he pushed the blame on Lu Dashan without hesitation.
It was said that Lu Manyue was greedy and wanted to eat rabbit meat, but it was too expensive to sell outside, so she kept it at his home.
He couldn't refuse because of their relationship.
Lu Manyue remembered it very clearly. It was an afternoon when she was in the second grade of junior high school. She had just returned home from school and put on a backpack to go out to cut grass when she was surrounded by four or five people who were waiting outside the factory. They dragged her to a remote yard and locked her up.
Those people said that she was too young to learn her lesson and that they wanted to correct her thinking. They also asked her to tell the truth about how many rabbits she had raised and how much she had sold them for, and they wanted her to return all the money she earned from selling the rabbits.
If she doesn't pay, she will be arrested and sent to labor camp.
She was only thirteen years old at that time.
Seeing that Li Ruliang was also at the scene, she regarded him as a life-saving straw and cried for help.
Li Ruliang, however, added insult to injury, saying that she had been cunning since she was young and that she would definitely not tell the truth if he didn't beat her. She might even deny that she had never raised rabbits and had no money.
This was actually the truth, but Li Ruliang deliberately misled others in order to extricate himself.
“Many people have seen you cutting grass on the mountain every day, so the rabbits were definitely raised by your family. Your uncle has already told us very clearly that it was you who kept the rabbits at his house, and you also took the money from selling the rabbits. He did not keep a single cent.
Today we caught you red-handed with a backpack and a sickle on your back. Don't try to make excuses or deny it.
You have secretly reduced the number of rabbits for four or five years, and you have earned at least a few hundred yuan. If you are willing to persuade your father to take out the money, we will let you off.
She cried and said that we really didn’t want to raise the rabbit, it was our uncle who suggested raising it.
The money from selling the rabbits was taken by her uncle, and she and her father really had no money.
But those people had preconceived ideas and refused to believe her.
Li Ruliang kept fanning the flames, saying that she was stubborn and would never tell the truth if he just asked her without beating her.
In order to gain the trust of those people and clear himself, Li Ruliang took the lead in slapping her in the face.
When that slap came, half of her face was swollen.
In the end, she was beaten until she fainted several times, but she still refused to admit that the rabbit was hers.
She fell to the ground with blood all over her face, and no matter how we pinched her Ren Zhong point, she kept her eyes closed and refused to wake up.
Those people dispersed because they thought someone had been beaten to death.
Li Ruliang also ran away.
She lay alone in the remote yard until the next morning, when she crawled out using her hands and feet and was found on the side of the road.
At that time, the factory was rushing to increase production capacity, and Lu Dashan worked for two consecutive nights.
When she returned home, she found her head was swollen like a basket. When she asked her what happened, Li Fen pushed her into the house and lied to Lu Dashan that she saw a beehive and wanted to eat honey, so she poked it with a branch, and then was chased and stung by wild bees, so her face became swollen.
She was so frightened by the beating that she was speechless for a while.
Li Fen told Lu Dashan that she was in a bad mood because she didn't get to eat the honey, so she didn't want to talk.
Lu Dashan is exhausted from working in the factory every day. He often works overtime to increase production capacity. After coming home and having dinner, he basically falls asleep immediately.
