Fang Suxia was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She walked straight to the counter and handed over the food coupons in her hand:
"Change to white flour, and make sure it's fine."
Wang Cuifen took the food coupon and flipped through it casually, but her eyes suddenly widened.
So many food coupons are enough to exchange for dozens of kilograms of flour!
A flame of jealousy suddenly rose in her heart, and her tone became sarcastic:
"Oh, the Chen family has become rich, right? How can they afford to buy so much white flour? Didn't they not even have enough whole grains before?"
Fang Suxia didn't dare to say that her son was going up the mountain to hunt, fearing that Wang Cuifen would use the opportunity to make a fuss, so she stammered:
"Changyuan...he...he is weak, I want to nourish him."
When Wang Cuifen heard this, she snorted coldly, as if she had heard a huge joke.
"Weak body? I think it's laziness! I don't know what kind of person Chen Changyuan is. He says he wants to nourish his body, but in fact he is just lazy and doesn't want to do any work!"
She raised her thick chin and her eyes swept across Fang Suxia like a knife.
"Look, look!"
She pointed to a small blackboard hanging on the wall, on which the work points of each household were written crookedly in chalk.
"Chen Changyuan still owes the village three work points this month! If you don't pay these three points, the brigade secretary will have to come to your house tomorrow!"
Fang Suxia has been cowardly all her life, and what she fears most is dealing with village cadres.
When she heard that she was going to be punished, she panicked, her face turned pale, and her lips trembled:
"Cui Fen... what do you think... can I make up these three work points for Chang Yuan? I have more work points..."
When Wang Cuifen heard this, her eyes almost popped out of her head, her fat body trembled like a sieve, and she screamed:
"Compensation? Impossible! Individuals should do their own work! Chen Changyuan doesn't work hard, yet he still wants to enjoy high pay? Isn't he the enemy of the people?!"
She spitted everywhere and pointed at Fang Suxia's nose and cursed:
"You're a fool too! You're spoiling him! If you keep spoiling him like this, he'll be a loser sooner or later! Hurry back and inform Chen Changyuan that he must make up these three work points before the sun sets tomorrow! Otherwise, hehe, don't blame me for being rude then!"
Fang Suxia asked cautiously with trembling lips:
"Cui Fen...then...that white flour...can you give it to me in exchange?"
Wang Cuifen's fat body trembled even more violently:
"Exchange it for you? You're dreaming! Chen Changyuan owes the village work points, and you still want to eat white flour? I think you should go back quickly and ask him to make up the work points! Otherwise, hehe, you will cry when the time comes!"
Fang Suxia's face turned red and white, and she was filled with shame.
Wang Cuifen was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she was powerless to refute.
She bit her lip, but ultimately didn't dare say anything more. She turned around and silently left the food exchange station.
Walking on the way home, Fang Suxia felt like every step was like walking on the edge of a knife, and it was excruciatingly painful.
She couldn't imagine how she would face her son's expectant eyes when she returned.
She had worked so hard to save up the food coupons in order to buy some flour to nourish her son, but she did not expect to be humiliated by Wang Cuifen instead.
Fang Suxia felt she had no face to see her son, and even less face to see Chen Dazhuang.
When she reached the edge of the field at the entrance of the village, Fang Suxia could no longer hold back her tears. She squatted on the ground, covering her face and sobbing.
She felt that she had lived a miserable life, being bullied all her life and unable to even buy some flour for her son.
Chen Changyuan was waiting at home anxiously. His mother went out to exchange food and had not returned for a long time. He felt uneasy.
Could something have happened?
He could no longer sit still, so he got up and went out, following the path to the grain exchange station.
From a distance, I saw a familiar figure squatting on the edge of the field, his shoulders shrugging, clearly crying.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Chen Changyuan stepped forward quickly, his heart skipping a beat.
Fang Suxia raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing her son, she cried even harder, complaining with tears and snot:
"Changyuan, mother is useless. She didn't exchange the flour for me..."
When Chen Changyuan heard this, he immediately understood about 70% of what was going on. It was Wang Cuifen's turn to be on duty at the grain exchange station today.
Needless to say, it must be that old hag Wang Cuifen who was making things difficult for his mother again.
He suppressed his anger and comforted softly:
"Mom, it's okay. It's just some white flour. I'll find a way later. Is it because you have too many food coupons and they won't exchange them?"
Fang Suxia cried and shook her head, and told Chen Changyuan everything that happened at the grain exchange station in a halting manner.
The more Chen Changyuan listened, the gloomier his expression became, and his fists clenched so tightly that they creaked.
Wang Cuifen, his former adoptive mother, has been constantly making things difficult for him since he was reborn. Now she even dares to humiliate his biological mother!
A surge of anger shot up from the bottom of his heart to his head, and he could no longer bear it!
"Mom, don't cry," Chen Changyuan helped Fang Suxia up, his tone cold, "I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Fang Suxia was so frightened when she heard this that her face turned pale. She quickly grabbed Chen Changyuan's hand and cried out:
"Changyuan, don't be impulsive! She was your adoptive mother. What if..."
"Adoptive mother?"
Chen Changyuan sneered.
"Does she deserve it? Does she treat me like her own son? From childhood to adulthood, she's always treated me like a slave, eating and drinking from me, and always beating and scolding me. Now that I'm grown up and independent, she's started to scheme against me and our family in every possible way! Don't worry, Mom, I won't do anything, but I have to talk to her about this!"
Fang Suxia was still worried and held Chen Changyuan's hand tightly, fearing that he would do something impulsive.
