Chapter 6
Chu Jiujiu's voice was extremely penetrating. Almost in an instant, all the neighbors came out. Unfortunately, Chu Jiujiu only knew those two lines. After she finished speaking, she returned to her familiar style.
I can't defeat a tantrum by throwing a tantrum, which makes me feel a little disappointed.
…
Gradually, neighbors gathered around and asked what was going on and who the girl was.
Even the brigade headquarters heard Chu Jiujiu's voice. The brigade leader had eaten half of his meal and didn't want to get involved, but when he heard that an unfamiliar girl had come to the village, he had to run out and ask what was going on.
The cowshed was just behind the brigade headquarters. Hearing the vague cries, Old Man Han had just put on his clothes when Old Lady Han scolded him, "Lie down. What's happening in the village has nothing to do with you."
Old Man Han paused and slowly lay back down.
Only the body is calm, but the mind is not.
What happened? I'm curious.
…
On the other side, Chu Jiujiu stopped howling at the top of her lungs, but continued to sob, which made anyone who saw her feel distressed. Mrs. Zhang was annoyed by everyone's questions and said angrily, "Why are you asking me?! How do I know who she is? Stop crying! Tell me, who are you from!"
In this day and age, children's names overlap a lot. When adults ask about their situation, they don't ask the children's names, but only ask who their parents are. Anyway, they all live close to each other, so they can find out their parents quickly if they say their names.
Chu Jiujiu didn't react much, but Chu Shao became nervous when asked. He couldn't help but grab Chu Jiujiu's arm. He wanted Chu Jiujiu to stop talking nonsense, but Chu Jiujiu took this as a signal of comfort. She let out a moan, and very actively threw herself into his arms, and then continued to sob.
Chu Shao: “…”
Facing everyone's curious gazes, Chu Shao simply replied, "She is my sister."
Apart from this, not much to say.
Chu Jiujiu buried her head in Chu Shao. Everyone thought she was crying, but in fact she was thinking about what to do next. She was so angry just now that she forgot her grandfather's instructions to her. Now that it has become such a big deal, her grandfather must be unhappy.
What should I do? What if grandpa regrets it and wants to drive her away? No, I have to think of a way.
There was a lot of chatter in my ears, and I don't know who shouted, "The captain is here!" Then everyone greeted him, "Captain, you're here too."
Chu Jiujiu vaguely understood that the team leader was a very important figure in the village.
On the way here, the team leader had already understood what had happened from the villagers' descriptions. He didn't care about the farce of the Zhang family, but he had to find out about that inexplicable little girl. He was the team leader, and he couldn't be confused about how many people were in his team and who they were.
But no matter who asked, no result could be obtained. Chu Shao did not answer, and the girl just cried. The captain got a headache just thinking about it.
The villagers spontaneously made way for the team leader. The team leader gritted his teeth and tried to speak softly, "Child, stop crying. Tell me, whose child are you?"
The team leader had no hope, the villagers had no hope, and even Chu Shao lowered his head, ready to remain silent to the end.
Someone among the villagers said, "Alas, even if the captain comes, it's useless."
The captain felt embarrassed and was about to leave, but he saw Chu Jiujiu turned her head and looked at him without blinking.
Captain: “!”
Success!
The captain immediately raised his eyebrows and continued to persuade him, "What's your name?"
Chu Jiujiu still hugged Chu Shao, and her arms even tightened a little, as if she was very scared. She hesitated for a moment before whispering, "My name is Chu Jiujiu."
Also surnamed Chu?
The captain was stunned for a moment and continued to ask her, "How did you get here?"
No strangers had come to the village all day today. How could a little girl like her appear in the village by herself?
Someone must have brought her here.
Chu Shao frowned. He knew that the more he talked, the more mistakes he made, but remaining silent was not a good idea either. He was just about to make up an answer when he heard Chu Jiujiu speak timidly.
"My uncle sent me here."
Hey, guessed it right.
The captain was a little happy, but he didn't show it on his face. "Where's your uncle?"
"My uncle dropped me off here and left. He was very busy and didn't have time to escort me in, so I walked in on my own. But this place is so big, and I walked for a long, long time, and my legs ached. My uncle said he had checked and there's a captain in Qingzhu Village. He's the most powerful and kindest man in the village. With him around, I won't be bullied. Uncle, are you the captain here?"
Invisible flattery is the most deadly. The captain wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He could only nod kindly, "Yes, it's me. Don't worry, with your uncle here, no one here dares to bully you."
Chu Jiujiu laughed immediately. A child's smile is the most healing. The captain's original polite words were immediately made more solid by this smile.
The captain did not ignore what she had just said, "Investigate", the person who can investigate him must be the leader. The onlookers also thought of this. The Zhang family was shocked and confused, and felt a little scared in their hearts.
Someone nearby rushed to ask, "Wa Wa, what's your uncle's name?"
Chu Jiujiu turned her head and acted puzzled: "Uncle is uncle, he never told me his name. Why don't you ask him yourself when he comes to see me next year?"
The captain quickly asked, "Did he say he would come to see you next year?"
Chu Jiujiu nodded. "Uncle said he would come after he finished work. He would ask his secretary to make arrangements."
Onlookers: Wow!
The secretary at this time is different from the secretary in the future. Chu Jiujiu's original intention was to fabricate a virtual domineering uncle for herself. First, to arrange an invisible background for herself, and second, to let the Zhang family know that she is not alone and she has a backer.
As for whether this background will appear next year... let's deal with the present first, and deal with next year's matters next year.
But she didn't know that there were no domineering CEOs these days, and only extremely powerful leaders had secretaries. The image of "uncle" suddenly became taller, and everyone looked at Chu Jiujiu differently.
The captain came out of his shock and glanced between Chu Shao and Chu Jiujiu. "Are you two siblings?"
Chu Jiujiu wanted to say no, but Chu Shao actually hugged her tightly and answered first: "Yes."
Chu Jiujiu was stunned. She looked up at Chu Shao, but Chu Shao didn't look at her. He quickly added, "We are siblings. We just haven't seen each other for many years."
When everyone heard there was a story, they became even more curious, however, a voice interrupted rudely.
"Bullshit! How could I not know that you have a sister?!"
Mrs. Zhang finally found the opportunity to speak. She pushed through the crowd and walked across to Chu Shao. Just as she was about to put on some airs as an elder, Chu Shao frowned. "After my mother returned to the village, you scolded her every time you saw her. She brought something to see you, but you took it away and beat her out without even listening to her. You don't even know how old I am, so how do you know I have a sister?"
Mrs. Zhang: “…”
That's true.
But she refused to admit it. "Nonsense! Anyway, I haven't heard of it. Get this damn girl out of here quickly and bring all these messed up people back. You actually believed everything she said!"
Some villagers also felt strange and had just begun to suspect something when they heard Chu Shao say, "But if she lied, why did she lie?"
Villager: Yes, pretending to be Chu Shao’s sister does not bring any benefits but brings a lot of trouble.
Chu Shao insisted that Chu Jiujiu was his biological sister, while Zhang Pozi insisted that she was not. In fact, they both had their own plans.
Only because Chu Jiujiu is Chu Shao's biological sister can Chu Shao keep her by his side and let her live in the Zhang family. Of course, Mrs. Zhang is unwilling to let this happen.
Chu Jiujiu listened for a while but didn't understand. However, as long as she followed her grandfather's words, she would be right.
Chu Jiujiu pinched her thigh, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried to the aggressive Mrs. Zhang, "Grandma, you wanted to beat me to death the moment we met, and now you don't acknowledge me as your granddaughter. Why? We just met, and not only did you beat me, you also wanted to kill my brother. Can't you tolerate us?"
Mrs. Zhang: “…”
She was so angry when she saw Chu Jiujiu like this. She looked like she wanted to drown her with spit just now. She was two-faced. She must not let such a disaster live in her home.
"Who wants to beat you to death? It was you who scolded me and my eldest brother's wife so badly that they couldn't even speak. And you still have the nerve to cry! You're such a jinx!"
Chu Jiujiu opened her eyes wide, her body trembling at her scolding. She bit her lip in grievance, "I, I didn't..."
Niu Ailing also jumped out, "You do! Don't look at her like that, she's just pretending. She's really powerful! I don't think anyone in our village can scold her better!"
As Niu Ailing spoke, she looked around anxiously, trying to find a sense of identity. However, everyone looked at Chu Jiujiu, who was about to cry, and then at the two big and strong mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were exactly the same in size and personality, and they all looked at her with contempt.
"How old is this little girl? She's scolding you two? Stop joking."
"That's right, we've known Old Madam Zhang for so many years, and no one who can scold her better has been born yet!"
"Hahahahaha, Qingguo's daughter-in-law, when it comes to strength, no one in our village dares to compete with your mother-in-law!"
The captain looked at the laughing crowd and said sternly, "Alright, alright, stop making trouble."
When everyone was quiet, he asked Chu Jiujiu: "Wawa, you should know about your mother, right?"
After hearing this, Chu Shao relaxed a little. It was good enough that the team leader acknowledged it. In the village, the team leader was the authority. There was no point for Mrs. Zhang to make a fuss.
Chu Jiujiu calculated in her mind and after realizing who "Mom" was, she squeezed out two more tears, lowered her head, and nodded very sadly.
"That's fine. Now that your mother is gone, you and your brother will have to live at your grandmother's house."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang and Niu Ailing jumped at the same time with great amusement, "Captain, this won't work!"
The captain looked at them and they were intimidated. They gritted their teeth but dared not make any more trouble.
When he turned around, the captain's expression softened again. "Wa, did your uncle give you a letter of introduction? I'm going to take it to get your household registration."
At that time, without an ID card, you needed a letter of introduction to go anywhere. It was difficult to transfer your household registration, but it was easy to transfer your financial and rationing relationship. All you needed was a letter of introduction. The team leader was afraid the child wouldn't understand, so he tried to keep it simple. However, even with such a simple explanation, Chu Jiujiu didn't understand.
What is a letter of introduction? It seems very important.
Blinking, Chu Jiujiu answered innocently, "Yes, but on my way to find my brother, I met a man named Zhang Fulai. He wanted to beat me up, and I ran for a long time before I finally got rid of him. After that, I couldn't find my letter of introduction anymore."
Zhang Fulai, who was quietly hiding behind the fence and eavesdropping in the corner, said: "..."
I won’t take the blame for this!
