After spring planting began, Su Li went to see the brigade leader. She thought that the brigade headquarters had a few pigs, and she was responsible for cutting pig feed; she didn't want to go to the fields to earn those work points.
When Su Li arrived at the brigade leader's house, she explained her purpose and brought two apples with her.
Upon hearing her words, the captain frowned so deeply that he could have trapped a mosquito, and pushed the apple back to her.
“Su Zhiqing, I would have agreed under normal circumstances, but it’s spring planting now, and spring planting and autumn harvest are both important events. Our village only has nine pigs for the task, and the young boys can harvest enough to feed them. How about this? After spring planting, I will arrange for you to join the pig feed gathering team and gather pig feed with the young boys in our village. During this time, you should still go to work obediently.”
Su Li had no choice but to nod, since the captain had already put it that way.
On her first day at work, Su Li got up early in the morning and ate a bowl of red date porridge and two meat buns.
In winter, she would make a lot of porridge each time, so she would simply put the leftovers into her spatial storage. Since it was kept warm, it was convenient to take it out whenever she got hungry.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Zhou Yuting heading towards the kitchen. She didn't have any of her spoiled princess attitude anymore.
Without saying hello, Su Li closed the door and walked directly towards the brigade headquarters.
On the way, they ran into Gousheng, who was on his way to school. Thanks to Su Li's feeding, he had grown quite a bit taller and was now almost as tall as her.
"Sister, you have to go to work today. If you can't finish, I'll come and help you when you get home from school."
Su Li looked at this future big shot and smiled, saying, "No need, I can manage. How have you been doing with your studies lately? Are you finding them difficult?"
"Sister, Teacher Zhang praised me yesterday, saying I've made great progress."
"Great job! I believe in you. You'll definitely become the richest person in China someday. Keep it up!"
Gousheng never expected his sister to trust him so much. He didn't even dare to dream of becoming the richest man in the future. He just wanted to earn lots and lots of money when he grew up to repay his sister and give her a good life.
"Yes, I will."
Su Li went to the brigade headquarters, where most of the members had already arrived.
Although many people had seen Su Li's appearance before, they were still shocked when they saw her again.
She wore a thin black jacket today, and her hair was tied in a ponytail, which made her look very energetic.
Although her clothes were similar to everyone else's, her fair and pretty face made a group of young men and several male educated youths in the village stare at her with wide eyes.
Even several middle-aged women couldn't help but take a second look; "This Su Zhiqing is getting prettier and prettier, look at her face, it's even more tender than tofu."
"Yes! Everyone else got tanned after going to the countryside, but Su, the educated youth, not only got fairer, but she also looked much prettier than when she first went to the countryside."
Su Jiaojiao was dying of jealousy when she heard everyone's comments.
She has to go to work now, but she hasn't taken care of her child yet.
She had already arranged for someone to impersonate her husband in preparation for aborting the child.
But Xie Feng discovered it and dismissed the man with a few words.
As a result, she is still pregnant, and the baby is already more than three months along. If she doesn't terminate the pregnancy soon, it will be difficult to do so. She is now unable to eat or sleep properly and is extremely worried.
What also frustrated her was that Su Guoqiang had only sent her twenty yuan in the past few months, which would have been impossible in the past.
She poured out her grievances in her letter, and Su Guoqiang replied with great concern, but he still couldn't give her any money.
These things can't really be blamed on Su Guoqiang; he had already received an advance from the factory for that twenty yuan.
He and Su Mu had both developed stomach problems from hunger before, so now they have to eat properly for all three meals.
So he dared not skimp on food anymore.
But Su Mu kept a close eye on him. Whenever it was payday, he would be waiting at the factory gate on time. He didn't even go to school that day.
This made Su Guoqiang lose all face in front of his colleagues, but if he wanted to keep his salary and prevent his son from reporting him, he had to give him the money.
Ever since Su Mu went to the countryside, he has become even less able to control her.
If you can't even agree on three sentences, you'll report him.
He didn't just have a son! Sometimes he even wondered if his son had gone crazy. The time he gave Su Jiaojiao an advance on his salary, he was furious when Su Jiaojiao found out.
That day, he somehow got a loudspeaker, and as soon as he got off work, the loudspeaker started shouting at the factory gate: "Come and see! This man named Su Guoqiang not only raised the child his mistress had with someone else, but he also made his own daughter serve his adopted daughter. Everyone come and judge this!"
Upon hearing this, Su Guoqiang felt his brain congested with blood and was about to be driven to death by his neurotic son.
If someone with ulterior motives reports him for saying this, he'll be finished.
Fortunately, the factory manager was away on a business trip.
Otherwise, he can forget about getting this job.
Su Guoqiang ran up to him, snatched the loudspeaker, and turned it off.
"What exactly do you want? I've lost my job, and we'll both starve."
Su Mu said nonchalantly, "If you send Su Jiaojiao another penny in the future, I'll personally report you for this job, you believe me?"
How could he dare not believe it now! With his pathetic appearance, he's now deliberately going against him.
This son was raised in vain; it's just that Jiaojiao has suffered these past few months.
"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself here, let's go home."
"You haven't promised me that you won't send money to your adopted daughter anymore."
Su Guoqiang's face was ashen. Facing the gazes of those around him, he forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "Fine, I agree. Can we go now?"
Su Mu finally felt relieved after hearing her say that.
As expected, Su Guoqiang stopped sending money for the next two months.
Su Mu had saved up some money over the past few months. Thinking about how he had always misunderstood Su Li, he went to the countryside hoping to ease the tension, but because of Su Li's suspicions, the relationship had become even more strained. He took out fifty yuan, wrote a letter, and sent it out.
During this period, Su Li was busy with spring plowing and didn't go to town much, nor did she go to the post office to pick up her mail.
The postman delivered it directly to her.
Su Li was still planting corn in the field when someone called her.
"Your letter is here, Su Zhiqing. Come and get it quickly."
Su Li took off her gloves and walked towards the edge of the field.
The postman was a young man, and he had a particularly deep impression of Su Li.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also received letters and gifts from people in Beijing.
This time was no exception; the postman handed her three letters and two packages.
Su Li took the letter and package. Aunt Li, who worked with Su Li, said, "Little Li! All these letters and packages you receive every day, are they all from your boyfriend?"
Su Li nodded, picked up the things and headed home. She planned to return the things first before coming back to work.
