Meng Fuyan was inside the house when she heard the sounds of fighting outside, and she almost burst out laughing.
This former youth settlement is no ordinary place!
Why did she act so fiercely and aggressively as soon as she arrived here?
Stupid!
In such a fiercely independent place, if she were a delicate and weak woman, especially a wealthy one, wouldn't she be bullied to death?
Wu Siyu and her gang will be taught a lesson sooner or later for their behavior in this place.
Look, here it is!
The noise in the courtyard was so loud that Wu Siyu and Yuan Yi's screams almost echoed throughout the entire educated youth compound. The educated youth who were at home all came out to watch the commotion. Not only did no one come to help, but some people even laughed at Yuan Yi.
"Hey bro, you're no good. You got beaten up by a bunch of women. How embarrassing!"
"Rise up and fight! Fight back!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at this pathetic sight, he's a disgrace to us men."
A group of people were there making comments and criticisms, but no one went up to help.
Wu Meixiang and Wu Chengye naturally heard the sounds in the courtyard. Although Wu Chengye was injured, his face was the most seriously injured, and the rest of his body did not have any external injuries. He was too ashamed to go out, so why would he go to the hospital?
Therefore, Wu Chengye and Wu Meixiang were both at home.
But at this moment, hearing the sounds coming from the courtyard, neither of them showed their heads; they didn't dare to go over and help.
They were afraid they would get beaten up too.
In the end, the matter was dropped!
As a result, the three siblings of the Wu family fell completely silent.
The educated youth compound was not quiet. Liu Shengli and a few other old educated youths would still bully the new ones. As everyone gradually became more idle, quarrels and fights frequently broke out in the compound, but they were all small-scale and not considered major incidents.
Meng Fuyan's life became much quieter. Every day she would go hunting in the mountains, fishing by the river, pickling sauerkraut, and she also traded pork for a lot of vegetables from Zhu Hong's vegetable garden, which she dried into dried vegetables.
She would occasionally cook something delicious and send it to Gu Tingzhi to make him feel valued.
She often receives food from powerful figures, and as the weather gets colder, Meng Fuyan's hut is stocked with a large amount of food.
The three Wu siblings were going to have a much harder time. They never received any winter supplies from their family and were living on the hundred yuan they had.
The weather was getting cold, and it looked like it was going to snow soon. They didn't have enough quilts, and they definitely needed to buy cotton clothes and food with the little money they had. So, after the four rooms were built, they didn't have the money to pay the workers.
This infuriated the brigade leader. He argued for a long time, but there was nothing he could do; no money meant no money.
Finally, they were no longer allowed to live in the rented house, and they all moved to the dormitory to live a shared life.
They were already isolated in the educated youth compound, and had even fought with female educated youth before. Now that they were living in the dormitory, Wu Siyu and Wu Meixiang's lives were particularly miserable.
With food shortages, they craved fine grains and meat from others, but were severely beaten when discovered. Just as they were about to go mad, the Banqiao Brigade began its last large-scale hunt before the New Year.
Northeast China is rich in natural resources. The Banqiao Brigade is located near the deep mountains and conducts at least two large-scale hunts every year. One is before the autumn harvest, so that everyone can replenish their energy for the harvest. The other is before winter, which is called the winter hunt. After the winter hunt, everyone will stay at home to hibernate.
Such large-scale hunting involves gathering some of the young and strong men in the village to form teams to go into the mountains. After all, the deep mountains are dangerous, and one or two people usually wouldn't dare to go in, but if there are more people, it will be much safer.
Meng Fuyan had witnessed this in her previous life, and she had been waiting for this opportunity, which had finally come to her.
The educated youth camp also had participants. Some young and strong men with hunting experience would form the main force, and many women and children would follow behind. After all, the opportunity was rare, and everyone wanted to find the last batch of supplies in the deep mountains before winter.
That's how it is these days. You find whatever you can. There are hardly any wild vegetables or mushrooms left on the outskirts, as they've already been thoroughly searched by hardworking women. But if you follow the group deeper into the area, you might still be able to find something.
The winter hunt lasted from the afternoon of the day until the morning of the following day.
Gu Tingzhi arrived early that day; he was also going to participate in the winter hunt.
The time was set several days in advance, so Fu Chaosheng and Xu Jing prepared some tools in advance. After the brigade assembled, the brigade also issued some weapons.
It was one of those homemade guns, not very lethal, but it was still quite useful for hunting.
Gu Tingzhi was assigned a gun. Whenever he returned from vacation, he would always participate in large-scale hunting events, and he was always a key player. The villagers knew his skills well, so naturally he would get a gun.
With Gu Tingzhi acting as guarantor, Fu Chaosheng and Xu Jing each received one. The two looked at the thing in their hands and found it quite novel.
They've played the real thing before, and this one they have is obviously much cruder, but it's better than nothing.
There were only five in total; the other two were given to two other skilled hunters in the brigade.
The team assembled and split into small groups to enter the mountains.
The day was very lively, with almost everyone, young and old, participating. Because the hunt would continue all night, some people stayed up all night and didn't even go home. Some women and children would even wait on the outskirts of the back mountain for the hunting party to return.
As the group set off, Meng Fuyan followed behind with her basket. When Gu Tingzhi saw her, he glanced at the Wu siblings who were watching her intently from a distance and frowned, saying, "Don't go deep into the mountains, and don't leave the group. Those siblings are watching you the whole time!"
Meng Fuyan glanced at them and said indifferently, "Let them keep watching! This is the countryside; they're isolated and helpless, and they can't do anything to me!"
Gu Tingzhi was a little worried. "It's different now. Before, there was no murderous intent in these people's eyes, but now, they look at you as if they want to devour you. Yanyan, your life is the most important thing. I'll find a way to get rid of them. Don't have too much contact with them, lest you bring bad luck!"
Meng Fuyan looked at him for a few seconds and smiled, "I know, I'll be careful. You go hunting now! Make sure you catch a lot of game so I can have meat again."
Gu Tingzhi ruffled her hair. "Just be good, take care of yourself, and have some fun on the outskirts. I'll be back soon."
"Mmm!" Meng Fuyan tilted her head back, smiling sweetly.
Unfortunately, the moment Gu Tingzhi turned to leave, the expression on her face changed.
She glanced at the Wu siblings and Yuan Yi not far away, and a smile appeared on her lips. Of course, she knew that those people hated her to the bone and wished they could get rid of her as soon as possible. After all, she had attracted a lot of hatred during this period!
They're about to go crazy!
Wu Chengye and Wu Siyu had indeed gone mad. The days they had been living were like hell for them, and Meng Fuyan's wonderful life had become the thing they hated the most. They had been beaten by Meng Fuyan several times, and the contrast between the two made their madness surge up.
Seeing that they were about to not survive this winter, how could they not take an unconventional approach?
Meng Fuyan is the best target.
Just as they were searching for a solution, the winter hunt began.
This is an absolutely fantastic opportunity!
