Xue Chenyang didn't expect that someone still remembered him, even if this person wanted him to help find out something.
He was sent all the way to the Northwest Farm overnight. He thought sweeping the streets in the city was hard enough, but he didn't expect that this was the real hardship.
When he came here, he was just a young man. Now, more than four years have passed, and judging from his appearance, he looks like he is already thirty years old.
When he first arrived, he felt hopeless and thought he would die here. He had lived a smooth life for the first fourteen years of his life, with no worries about food and drink.
Later, when something happened at home, at least his grandfather was with him. Although he was always worried during the time he was running around in the black market, he also made some brothers and was able to make some money to fill his stomach.
But everything that happened afterwards caught him off guard. He was knocked to the ground by those people and watched his grandfather die with his own eyes. He hated the person who reported their family, the person who slandered him for stealing, and even, at that moment, he hated everyone.
On the first day, the first week, and the first month at the farm, he wanted to die.
He received the letter from Xiaobizi (Song Zuo's former name), but he didn't want to reply. He was no longer the same as he used to be.
But he didn't expect that life would not let him go so easily.
Everyone who came to the farm had made a mistake. Some were reported and framed like him, but most were evil people.
Evil people will not stop doing evil just because they move to a new place.
There is a military corps not far from the farm, which should be the safest place, but there is a bully on the farm, the Huang family.
Their family has lived on the farm for generations. They used to be long-term workers for a farm owner with a thousand acres of land here. The whole family has signed a contract.
Later they started playing Landlord (a card game), and the farmer was reported by the Huang family. Overnight, their identities were swapped.
Because of their meritorious reporting and good background (eight generations of poor peasants), the Huang family became familiar with everything here and became the earliest employees of the Northwest Farm, responsible for supervising the transferred personnel.
Later, he schemed properly and became a relative of a battalion commander of the garrison corps. The other party turned a blind eye, and the old man of the Huang family gradually became the manager of the farm, which was equivalent to the director.
At first, I did some face-saving work, but later, seeing that no one was in charge of this place, I simply became the local boss.
They have the final say on how the people who come here are arranged. Those who are disobedient will be assigned to do the hardest and most tiring work and will not even have food to eat. Even if someone dies, they always have their own reasons to ensure that they will not be implicated.
Xue Chenyang is one of the people targeted by the Huang family. There are five brothers in this generation of the Huang family. The old man died a long time ago, and now the eldest brother has replaced him.
Among the five brothers, four have already started their own families and careers, leaving only the third brother, who is in his forties but has never married, and his family does not urge him to do so.
Later, Xue Chenyang found out that he was a pervert and liked men.
Xue Chenyang, who had a delicate appearance, became his target as soon as he arrived. Although he wanted to die, he definitely did not want such a humiliating death.
He had no time to be sad about the passing of time or to seek death. In addition to working every day, he also had to be on guard against people trying to attack him.
Huang Laosan tried all kinds of tricks but he was always able to dodge them. Several times, he was almost beaten to death but he still couldn't succeed.
After half a year, Huang Laosan's patience ran out. One night, Xue Chenyang broke into Huang Laosan's straw hut and tried to force him to do something. During the struggle, Xue Chenyang killed him.
After the fear passed, he felt a sense of excitement from venting, and he seemed to feel much better.
After calming down, he found the kitchen knife that Huang Laosan had brought to threaten him, but Huang Laosan snatched it away and killed him with it.
On that late autumn night, the fifteen-year-old boy dismembered the body with a kitchen knife with trembling hands. In order to make it easier for him, Huang Laosan asked Huang Laoda to place him alone in a straw shed in the corner of the farm near the livestock.
No one heard the sounds at night. He dumped the body, which was broken into pieces, into the cowshed, sheep pen, and pigpen. He didn't know whether the bones would be left as evidence. He thought that if he could escape this disaster, it would mean that he was not destined to die.
If he was discovered, he would not regret it.
As it turned out, God finally favored him this time.
No one noticed that the livestock on the farm had a big meal, but a few sheep died inexplicably. The veterinarian said that they had eaten something that their stomachs could not digest, and no one suspected anything. After killing the sheep, everyone could share some meat.
Although the Huang family had always suspected him, they could not produce any evidence and could only make things difficult for him at work.
More than four years passed like this.
He had been thinking recently about where he should go and what to do after the labor reform ended. In the end, he decided to return to Beijing because he still had some revenge to take.
As a result, he received a letter. In the letter, Song Zuo asked a lot of questions about his current situation. He also said that they would continue to work together after returning to Beijing, and that things would get better and better in the future.
Later Qin Lili was mentioned.
He knew Qin Lili was a fickle woman.
Huang Laosi's woman is in her forties this year and is a mother of three children. She still flirts with other men on the farm every day.
I came to see him two years ago, but he kicked me out.
Neither of them is a good person. They each do their own thing. Huang Laosi harms the young women who come to the farm, and she harms the young men.
Xue Chenyang felt sick whenever he mentioned her.
However, his brother asked him to do a thorough investigation. He had also gotten to know some people in the past few years, and within three days, he got the news.
The reply letter said that Qin Lili arrived at the Northwest Farm in 1950 when she was only 17 years old. It was not like it is now. The movement had not started yet and it was just a labor camp.
She was only responsible for going to work and doing her job every day, but this woman was restless. She hooked up with the then farm manager (similar to a prison warden). Although he was already fifty years old and had a family, she still lived a good life with him for a few years. She was very proud of herself at that time.
She also gave birth to a son for the old man.
It wasn't until 1966 that the movement began.
The director at that time was overthrown, and she returned to the dire straits, even worse than before, because after the movement started, those of them who were sent down would be pulled out for criticism from time to time, kneeling on the platform, and everyone lined up to take turns spitting at them.
She was already 32 years old at that time, but because she had not suffered any hardship in the early days following the old man, and she had a good foundation, she looked more beautiful than the natives on the farm.
Soon she set her sights on Boss Huang. After getting herself ready, she went to find Boss Huang, who slept with her reluctantly.
At that time, Boss Huang was in his early forties and already had four children. He thought he was a leader now and that he should pay attention to his reputation when doing things, but as for women, he just needed to sleep with them.
Qin Lili turned her attention to the second brother again. In the end, they slept next to each other, and only the fourth brother was coaxed into marrying her.
But when Huang Laosi found out that the woman he married had affairs with several of his brothers, he stopped treating her well.
Later, he treated her worse and worse and wanted to divorce her, but his brothers disagreed. He could only live with the green hat that his brothers had made for him.
