Ruan Yunxi chuckled: "I learned this from you guys. Oh, by the way, Ning Zhenzhen asked me to tell you that she appreciates all the good stuff you hoarded. She won't take you to Hong Kong to enjoy the good life. She wants to have fun in Hong Kong by herself, so you can stay in the Northwest and herd sheep and horses and shine."
"She...she left alone?" Lu Minghua couldn't accept it.
Ruan Yunxi nodded: "Yes, she boarded that ship last night, and she should arrive around this time tomorrow!"
Lu Minghua's eyes turned red with anger: "You bitch, you really are no good! You shameless women, it's all your fault! You've ruined me so much! Give me back my things!"
In response to Lu Minghua, Ruan Yunxi slapped him hard across the face: "Who are you calling a jerk? You're the most despicable one. If you hadn't wanted to eat up the family's wealth, would you be in this mess today?"
"You brought this on yourself." Ruan Yunxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Minghua, whose hands were unable to exert any strength. "What, are both your hands useless?"
Lu Minghua gritted his teeth: "Didn't you bribe someone to break my other hand? Ruan Yunxi, how cruel you are! You wanted to cripple me?"
Ruan Yunxi was bewildered: "When did I ever bribe anyone? I always do things myself. Haven't you experienced that firsthand?"
He then slapped Lu Minghua across the face again. Looking at the swollen and red face, he smiled with satisfaction: "I don't have much to give you when you go to the countryside, so I'll just give you two slaps. If you think that's not enough, I can give you a few more."
Seeing Ruan Yunxi raise her small hand, Lu Minghua, terrified, hid behind the crowd. Moving his hands was excruciatingly painful; he feared his hands were truly ruined.
Those people are truly ruthless; they didn't even give him time to treat his injuries, and just shoved him onto the train when it was time to leave.
Ruan Yunxi was ruthless enough to send him to the harsh Northwest to herd sheep and horses. How could a native southerner like him endure life on the grasslands?
Besides, in this era, without money or supplies, he had nothing. How could he survive?
Lu Minghua regretted it; he would rather have gone to a labor camp, at least that would have provided room and board.
Once you get to the Northwest, you probably won't get a hot meal.
In fact, Lu Minghua went hungry for three days and eight meals in the Northwest. Based on his understanding of the development of the future, he thought he could just endure it and get through these ten years or so. Then he would take the college entrance examination and return to the city, and go to Hong Kong to settle accounts with that bitch Ning Zhenzhen.
As for Ruan Yunxi, she thought that by marrying a military officer and following him to the army, she could win without lifting a finger?
dream!
He ended up in this state thanks in no small part to Ruan Yunxi.
On the train, his stomach rumbled. Lu Minghua, unprepared and with both hands broken, huddled in a corner, had no idea what awaited him ahead.
He knew he would definitely take revenge and make those who betrayed him regret it deeply.
At this moment, Ning Zhenzhen was woken up in the hospital: "The car is right outside. Don't think you can escape going to the countryside by cutting your wrists. It's useless. Even if you die, you'll die in the place where you're sent to the countryside."
Ning Zhenzhen, pale and bloodless from excessive blood loss, was carried out of the hospital by two people from the educated youth office. They handed her a bundle, a letter of introduction, and a notice to go to the countryside, and put her on the train, handing her over to the person in charge to watch over: "Don't let her run away."
"I...I haven't gone home to pack my things yet."
"You don't need to go back and pack, we've already brought your luggage." Saying that, she tossed a tattered bag to Ning Zhenzhen. Inside were some things they had packed hastily. Unlike the others who had big bags and small bags, she only had two sets of patched clothes, a pair of canvas shoes, a water bottle, and an enamel mug. There was no food.
When they arrived at Lin Minghua's house, where Ning Zhenzhen was staying, they found that the house was empty, with nothing else usable except for the things placed at the door.
The kettle was full, filled with water.
Ning Zhenzhen boarded the special train for educated youth going to the countryside. Watching the train start moving, she was unwilling and struggled to get off, but the person in charge pressed her down in her seat. After the train drove away, he glared at her and warned, "Behave yourself. Are you just going to accept your fate now that you're going to the countryside?"
Ning Zhenzhen didn't want to accept her fate. She knew that if she wanted to come back, she could only do so through the college entrance examination and eleven years later, when the policy would change. During this period, she couldn't get married or have children; otherwise, with a family to support, it would be impossible for her to come back sooner.
The thought of her suffering in the rubber plantation while Lu Minghua and his family lived a life of luxury in the port city, spending her savings, using her gold, and enjoying her resources, made Ning Zhenzhen so angry she felt like vomiting blood.
Overwhelmed by emotion, her weakened body couldn't withstand it. She felt dizzy, saw stars, and almost fainted again.
Ning Zhenzhen opened the kettle, wanting to take a sip of water to calm herself down.
