Chapter 24 No matter what means
Before going to work for the Deng family, Zhang Shuangping had anticipated the gossip that might circulate behind her back, and she prepared herself mentally. But assumptions are assumptions, and reality is reality.
The reality is that she cannot accept other people's gossip, especially Gu Jianguo's ridicule.
The reason why Gu Yimin and Deng Zhiming broke off their engagement was that Zhao Fenglian asked Gu Yimin to work for his family, but Gu Yimin was unwilling. She went to work for the Deng family before she was even engaged. The difference is heartbreaking.
Zhang Shuangping felt a pang of pain in her heart as she recalled the scene of her going to the Deng family's field to harvest peanuts for them yesterday. The most tiring part of harvesting peanuts was digging them up with a hoe.
At first, Deng Zhiming's parents didn't let her do this kind of work, but after working for about an hour, Zhao Fenglan said, "Shuangping, Zhiming's father is tired, you can take over for a while."
Could she refuse? She had come to work here on her own initiative. Would she end up like Gu Yimin if she refused? For a moment, she even doubted whether it was worth it for her to stick to the Deng family so shamelessly and stubbornly.
However, after having this thought, she immediately suppressed it. Deng Zhiming was worth it.
Although her father was the village party secretary, he was also a farmer, and he had to work hard in the fields. If there was a disaster that year, or if he didn't pay enough attention to the crops and the harvest was poor, he would probably have trouble getting enough to eat.
But Deng Zhiming was different. He was a commodity grain farmer, guaranteed a stable income regardless of drought or flood. He also had an uncle who worked at the county public security bureau. If she married into the Deng family, she might even be able to move from private teaching to public teaching. Then, she, too, would be a commodity grain farmer, guaranteed a stable income regardless of drought or flood.
By then, she and Deng Zhiming will have double incomes. How many people will envy her?
Therefore, she must insist on marrying Deng Zhiming, no matter what means are used.
Seeing her crying, Ge Fenglian's heart broke. She gritted her teeth and said, "There are two ways now."
Zhang Shuangping's eyes suddenly lit up, "What method?" Although his father was the village party secretary, it was his mother who came up with ideas when something happened.
Ge Fenglian leaned close to her and whispered a few words. Zhang Shuangping opened her eyes wide in shock, then she gritted her teeth and said, "I choose the first option."
She just wanted to see that vixen Gu Yimin being ruined.
In fact, she and Gu Yimin did not have a deep hatred. When she first broke up with Deng Zhiming, she was sad for a while, and slowly forgot about Deng Zhiming.
But she saw Deng Zhiming again at Gu's house a few days ago, and she felt unwilling to accept the fact that he was willing to make himself so dirty for Gu Yimin.
Gu Siqing's family had no idea someone was plotting something behind their backs, so they just kept doing what they were supposed to do. After picking the peanuts, they spread them out in the sun, where they would need to dry for several days.
Wang Yueju is particularly concerned about this year's harvest. She and Gu Jianguo are planning to sell the grain to build a house.
Gu Siqing had three days until school started. She was wondering whether she should still catch Deng Zhiming cheating since her elder sister had already broken off the engagement. If this matter only involved Deng Zhiming, she would definitely continue without hesitation.
But catching the adulterer also involved another young widow.
The consequences for women being unruly in this era are no less severe than being drowned in a pond in ancient times. In the 1980s, there was a crime called hooliganism, which could be applied to both men and women.
If he was caught cheating, Deng Zhiming had an uncle who worked at the county police station, and the consequences for him might be a loss of reputation, or even worse, loss of his job.
But it’s hard to say for the young widow; she might even be sentenced to jail.
After thinking about it, Gu Siqing gave up the idea of following Deng Zhiming to catch him cheating. In order to save her elder sister, she could go to catch him cheating with peace of mind. After all, the young widow was not a good person.
But the eldest sister had already broken off the engagement with Deng Zhiming and would not fall into the Deng family's fire pit again. If she caught the adulterer again, it would be bad if the young widow went to jail or something more serious happened. After all, she had no grudge against the young widow.
Forget it!
It just benefited that bad boy Deng Zhiming.
"I'm going to pick some vegetables from the field." Gu Yimin's voice came, and Gu Siqing stood up and said, "How about I go with you?" Their vegetable field is not very far away, but it is a bit remote, especially at noon when there are few people.
Gu Yimin waved his hand and said, "No need, it's not far." Then he walked away with the basket.
Their vegetable patch was planted with cabbage, eggplant, and beans. Gu Yimin walked towards the vegetable patch, carrying a basket. Many people approached her on the way and asked if she had really broken off her engagement with Deng Zhiming. She just smiled and said nothing.
She knew that most of these people were asking out of curiosity, but there were also many who wanted to laugh at her.
Just watch it. Only those who have nothing to do and are not living a good life will laugh at others and hope that others are not living as well as they do, so as to satisfy their sense of superiority.
Moreover, the more people laugh at her, the happier she is every day. She wants to piss off those who want to laugh at her.
Arriving at the vegetable patch, she bent down and picked three eggplants and some beans. She could make steamed noodles and an eggplant salad for lunch.
Just as I was thinking, I was suddenly tackled from behind, and then I heard a lewd laugh, "Beauty is different, they all smell delicious."
Gu Yimin was at a loss for a moment, but only for a moment, and then she began to struggle. But even though she often did farm work, she was no match for a man. As she struggled, the man dragged her towards the nearby woods.
Gu Yimin wanted to shout for help, but her mouth was covered, and it was cooking time, so there was no one in the field.
The grove was only a few meters away, and she was soon dragged there. The man covered her mouth with one hand and turned her body with the other so that they were facing each other.
Seeing his face, Gu Yimin's eyes widened. She had never expected it to be him, Zhao Erhai. He had come to her house to ask for her hand in marriage, but he was lazy and gluttonous, so her father had rejected her without a second thought.
Since then, they have met several times, but they were always like strangers. I never thought that he would have such a vicious mind.
"Yimin, I really like you." Zhao Erhai said in a low, coaxing voice, "As long as you follow me, I will definitely work hard and let you live a good life."
He was tall, with a square face, and he wasn't ugly. He seemed quite serious when he said this.
Gu Yimin was calmer now. She looked at Zhao Erhai with pleading eyes and said, "Let me go first."
Her mouth was covered, and her voice was mumbling, but Zhao Erhai still understood. He said, "Okay, I'll let you go, but you can't run away. You should know that there is no one here, you can't run away."
Gu Yimin nodded, and Zhao Erhai hesitated for a moment before letting go of her. He really liked her, and if she could willingly become his wife, it would be better than being forced.
Gu Yimin was released by her, took a step back and leaned against the tree, took a few deep breaths and said, "If you really like me, come to my house and propose marriage."
Zhao Erhai laughed, "Yimin, do you think I'm a fool? If I let you go, will your father let me go? You'd better be good to me, and then I will marry you. I promise that I will treat you well in the future."
Gu Yimin lowered his head as if thinking. Zhao Erhai looked around and was a little anxious, fearing that someone would come at this time and ruin the good thing.
He was thinking, if it doesn't work, then he'll continue with Yongqiang, when he saw Gu Yimin suddenly raise her head, and at that moment he saw the fierceness in her eyes. Then he saw her kicking his lower body.
