Chapter 330 Sister, something happened to her!
The two brigades were adjacent to each other, and while they were talking, they had already arrived at the Fangen Brigade.
Compared with the Dalaozi Production Brigade, the construction of the Fangen Brigade seemed even poorer. Whether it was the breeding area or the production team's office, they were all bare. It was obvious that the members were having a hard time.
The Bai family lived on the east side of the brigade. The house was very old, with several small earthen houses and bricks covered with mud. The enclosed yard was also messy. Wang Ziyan and Jin Can looked at Bai Mei and found it hard to believe that such a girl actually lived here.
Bai Mei noticed the gazes of several people, but she didn't feel ashamed. She just felt tired, tired from the inside out.
From childhood to adulthood, the most relaxing and enjoyable times have always been outside of this home.
Bai Mei took a deep breath. She had just followed Gu Tinghuai and had already angered her parents and Huang Sheng. If she went back now, she might be blamed. Even though she was afraid, she was already prepared.
Just as Gu Yuehuai said, throughout one's life, one always has to make choices for what one wants.
She had made up her mind and was determined to fight to the end. She had endured too much over the years and didn't want to continue following the path they had arranged. She was an independent individual and should have her own life instead of being enslaved forever.
Thinking of this, Bai Mei's expression became tough.
She smiled at Gu Yuehuai and Wang Ziyan, and said gratefully, "I'm home already. You guys should go back soon. It will be darker if you stay here any later. You've worked really hard today. I'll treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant some other day!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked up at Bai Mei.
She knew that Bai Mei had no choice. Even when it was time to collect her salary every month, it was her mother who went to collect it with the payroll. Only occasionally when her younger siblings wanted to eat pastries or meat would she be given some money and asked to bring it back after get off work.
Since she said she would invite them to the state-owned restaurant, it was a disguised indication that she was going to make changes.
Gu Yuehuai chuckled, "There's no need for the state-owned restaurant. It's better to save some money to buy yourself some cloth and make some new clothes. Look at what you're wearing. Be nicer to yourself in the future. Don't save money on yourself."
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at her clothes.
Suddenly, she smiled, and then nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Gu Yuehuai waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back, we're leaving too."
Bai Mei nodded: "I will watch you leave before I go back, go quickly."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at her and didn't say much. He called on Wang Ziyan and Jin Can to leave together. It was dark and there were many houses in the brigade, so the figures of the three people soon disappeared from her sight.
Bai Mei turned around and looked at the "home" where she grew up, clenched her fingers into a fist, and stepped into the yard.
On the other side, when Gu Yuehuai and his companions were leaving the Bai family, they saw several teenagers gathered together to set off firecrackers. Today was New Year's Eve, the day of the Chinese New Year, and after dinner the children made an appointment to go out and play, which was quite lively.
Wang Ziyan looked at them with envy and said with emotion: "It's great to have children. They have no worries."
Jin Can nodded in agreement. The children indeed had no worries, but they had to leave their hometown and start a new life in a completely unfamiliar place. They didn't know whether they could go back in the future, and even if they could, it would probably be a long time before that happened.
Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything, but he followed their gaze.
I passed the children and went back the way I came.
Gu Yuehuai and the other two walked neither fast nor slow, holding flashlights and walking on the country road, which also had a unique sense of cold artistic conception. They were not in a hurry to go back. Wang Ziyan said, "Yuehuai, will Sister Baimei be okay when she goes back?"
After that, she hesitated and said, "Didn't she say her parents wouldn't let her go with Brother Gu? Then why did she come here today? She must have had a falling out with her parents. She might get beaten when she goes back. Can we just leave like this?"
After hearing this, Jin Can frowned a little worriedly: "It seems a little bit..."
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and shook his head silently: "We can help her temporarily, but we can't help her forever. Even if we turn back now and see her parents beating her, what can we do? We can't live in the Fangen Brigade today. Once we leave, she will still have the same result. So, she needs to stand up on her own."
"Don't worry about it. Let's go back quickly. My brother is still waiting at the entrance of the village. Don't let him worry."
Bai Mei is pitiful, but only if a person is strong can he get rid of all hardships. Otherwise, he will always depend on the wings of others and will never be able to truly solve the troubles and get rid of the suffering. They really can't help her.
What qualifications and position do they have to stop other parents from educating their children? It's just a joke. What's more, after they leave, Bai Mei will definitely suffer more severe punishment or even abuse.
Bai's parents have always treated Bai Mei as a commodity that can be sold at will. When the commodity has its own consciousness and brings so-called friends to rebel against them, no one knows what consequences will result.
Of course, the consequence will definitely not be good.
After hearing what she said, Wang Ziyan and Jin Can nodded silently.
Indeed, Bai Mei needs to solve these problems by herself, and they can't always stand by her side.
Just as the three were about to quicken their pace, they suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind them.
Jin Can was timid. When she heard the noise, her face turned pale. She couldn't help but hold on to the hems of Wang Ziyan and Gu Yuehuai's clothes. Her lips trembled and she whispered, "Yes, who is it?"
Even though Wang Ziyan was brave, her heartbeat quickened as she looked straight in the direction where the footsteps came from.
There are actually quite a few news reports in the countryside, most of which are about young girls who went to the river to take a bath at night, or were abducted to the cornfield on their way home from an outing to cool off. Many people have become accustomed to this, and it is indeed something that has actually happened.
Wang Ziyan and Jin Can had experienced a lot in Liuzhi Brigade, and had seen and heard of such things before.
Gu Yuehuai was very calm. She turned her wrist and a handful of gravel appeared in her palm. She was a very cautious person, so she placed some sharp weapons in the space to ensure that she could protect herself when she encountered any trouble.
The footsteps gradually approached, and soon, a half-grown boy appeared in the halo of light illuminated by the flashlight.
The young man subconsciously raised his hand to block the glaring light. He also took a half step back, as if he was also frightened. When he opened his eyes and saw Gu Yuehuai in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief, but was still timid and did not dare to approach.
He scratched his head and whispered, "Sister, something happened to Sister Xiaobai."
