After seeing Song Qiang, Su Wantang said goodbye to the director of the mental hospital and left.
Su Wantang went to the local newspaper and spent two yuan to publish a notice severing ties with her family.
She wrote about how Zhang Hongwei and his family had seized the family property left to her by her parents when she was young, broken into her home to rob her of her property, and abused her.
Now that she has published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with her, her family has no further connection with her.
At this moment, inside the Dahuang Farm in Heilongjiang Province.
Zhang Xuehui was working in the field with a hoe. These past few days, since she was forced to become an educated youth sent to the countryside, she has been working every day since she opened her eyes. There is always work to be done.
Her hands were calloused, and her once fair and delicate face was now dark red and rough from the sun. Her entire body was tanned a shade darker.
"What have you been doing? Do you still want to work?" At this moment, the scorekeeper strolled over, glaring at Zhang Xuehui with displeasure.
Zhang Xuehui was the laziest and least proactive of all the educated youth who went to the countryside.
Her family background was also problematic; her father was convicted of hooliganism and sent to the countryside, and her own mother was arrested by the police for embezzlement and bribery.
Even if someone with her background were sent to the worst farm for re-education, she would still be considered a suitable candidate.
"You've received the lowest work points for three days in a row!" the scorekeeper said coldly. "These points are tied to food rations. If you don't work hard, you won't get any food. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"
The scorekeeper gave her a cold glance, then got up and left.
The other educated youth couldn't help but mock when they saw this.
"I thought she was some pampered city girl! She's come to the countryside and doesn't even work properly!"
"Exactly! Don't come to us for food when we're out of food, we won't get any!"
"Have you heard? Zhang Xuehui's father was convicted of hooliganism and sent to the countryside for reform through labor, and her mother embezzled public funds and went to jail! Her whole family is no good!"
"Like father, like son. If her parents are no good, what good can she be? Let's stay away from her from now on."
"I heard that before she went to the countryside, she was having all sorts of affairs, walking naked in the streets and being seen by everyone..."
"What are you saying!" Zhang Xuehui, burning with anger, threw down her hoe and rushed towards the educated youth who were talking about her, shoving one of them hard!
"What are you doing?!" The other person reacted and suddenly pushed Zhang Xuehui to the ground.
"You bastards! You're all despicable people who look down on others!" Zhang Xuehui cursed angrily, her eyes bloodshot.
The other educated youths who had been scolded naturally didn't give Zhang Xuehui a good look. They rushed up to her, grabbed her hair, and started slapping her.
"Do you still dare to curse?!"
Slap after slap landed hard on Zhang Xuehui's face!
Zhang Xuehui's face was swollen from the slaps, and she was dizzy and seeing stars.
The educated youth punched and kicked her. She tried to fight back, but she was outnumbered and no match for them. She was pinned to the ground and could only passively endure the beating.
Terrified of the beating, Zhang Xuehui could only beg for mercy, "I won't do it again... please spare me..."
"If you dare to curse us again, we'll beat you to death!" Only then did the female educated youths release her.
Zhang Xuehui was beaten black and blue, with not a single part of her body unscathed.
She clenched her fists tightly.
