Chapter 50 The Second Sister is Here
On the way back to the brigade, Deng Minghao and his companions met the brigade leader. He was driving another horse-drawn carriage in the village, pulling a person and two large packages on the carriage.
"Uncle Captain, where have you been?" Deng Minghao asked the captain.
The captain turned around and saw that it was Deng Minghao. He immediately smiled and said, "Deng Zhiqing, I was just about to look for you. Your second sister is here too."
Deng Minghao was stunned. What second sister? He had a brother but no sister in this body.
The people in the carriage heard the noise and pulled down the scarves on their faces. Deng Minghao saw a face that was somewhat similar to his wife, and he immediately knew that this was Li Ruolan's second sister.
Why did the Li family come here? Deng Minghao's face immediately turned ugly.
The captain didn't see it and continued, "I received a call a few days ago saying that another educated youth had come to our village. I went to pick her up and found out that she was Li Zhiqing's second sister.
It's good for two sisters to go to the countryside together, so they can take care of each other."
Deng Minghao looked at Li Ruoju in surprise. Educated youth? What's going on?
While Deng Minghao was surprised, Li Ruoju was also looking at Deng Minghao. When she met the captain just now, as soon as she revealed her identity, the captain actually became friendly to her.
After asking, I found out that Li Ruolan actually got married after going to the countryside, and she and her husband built a house in the village and moved out of the educated youth site.
Judging from the captain's appearance, he probably gets along well with Li Ruolan and her husband. Li Ruoju immediately knew that she made the right decision by coming this time.
Li Ruoju stared at Deng Minghao and felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before: "Have I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar to me."
Deng Minghao said: "I am Ruolan's high school classmate."
After saying this, Deng Minghao stopped talking to Li Ruoju. Qin Wan and Lu Yunxiao looked at each other solemnly, as if they had sensed something, but they didn't say anything.
They returned to the educated youth point in silence. Uncle Wang and the team leader left. Before leaving, the team leader handed Li Ruoju to Deng Minghao.
"Come in first." Deng Minghao opened the door and walked in.
Li Ruoju was carrying her two large packages and entered the house with difficulty. Li Ruolan heard the noise and came out, just in time to see Li Ruoju in the yard.
I was stunned for a long while before I reacted.
"What's going on? Why are you here?" Li Ruolan frowned subconsciously.
Li Ruoju glanced at Li Ruolan and found that the skinny and skinny sister had grown up now. She seemed to be a little taller and had more flesh on her face and body.
Her face was red, probably because she had just gotten off the kang. She looked much prettier than before.
"I signed up to be an educated youth, so I came here." Li Ruoju looked at Deng Minghao again and said.
Li Ruolan looked at Li Ruoju for a while, then moved aside to let her in: "Come in first and we'll talk."
After coming in and getting on the kang, Li Ruoju briefly recounted what happened at home: "You ran away, and the marriage fell on me, so naturally I didn't want to get married.
The only way to escape from that home was to go to the countryside as an educated youth like you did, so I asked my eldest brother-in-law to find out where you were going to the countryside, and I also signed up to go there."
Li Ruolan nodded expressionlessly, poured a cup of hot water for Li Ruoju, and then said: "There are empty beds in the educated youth camp, and each educated youth will be given 40 kilograms of food first.
If you don’t have enough to eat, you can go to the grain station or buy some from your fellow villagers. When the spring comes next year, work hard to earn work points. As long as you work hard, you won’t starve to death.”
Li Ruoju nodded and said, "Then I will go to the educated youth camp and make my bed later, but the team leader said that it will take more than three months for spring to come here.
40 kilograms of food is definitely not enough for me to eat for such a long time. Instead of spending money to buy it outside, why not give it to you? How about I eat with you?"
Li Ruoju took out 20 yuan and put it on the small table, then pushed it to Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan looked down at the 20 yuan, but shook her head to refuse.
"I don't know if you still remember, but I still can't forget what you and Big Sister did.
I don't really want to see you, nor do I want to live with you. The people at the educated youth site are pretty nice, and you have money, so you can live a good life even if you don't find us.
Although we are sisters, we just get along like that. It's like being at home here. We shouldn't interact with each other unless necessary."
The memories of the original body, Li Ruolan, are just like those of ordinary people. Some are remembered clearly, while others are very vague.
But some of my very clear memories from childhood are almost all about being bullied by Li Ruomei and Li Ruoju.
In the freezing cold, the two of them didn't want to wash clothes and socks, but seeing that Li Ruolan was young, they pushed all the responsibilities to her.
He would snatch food and drinks, and sometimes when he accidentally did something wrong, he would push the blame on Li Ruolan, causing her to get beaten.
After being beaten by Li's father, Li Ruomei and Li Ruoju would sometimes take their anger out on Li Ruolan, strangling her under the quilt.
Li Ruolan is like a punching bag at the bottom of the food chain, and anyone can take out their anger on her.
Although these were all childhood events, when they grew up, their elder sister got married, and Li Ruoju went out to work, the shadow left on Li Ruolan still remains.
When talking about the past, Li Ruoju's face turned red. She didn't expect that even though they were childhood events, Li Ruolan still remembered them so clearly.
"Ruolan, those things happened when we were young. I know I was wrong. I know I have wronged you in the past. Can you forgive me?" Li Ruoju looked at Li Ruolan while stammering.
Li Ruolan looked at Li Ruoju in front of her, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
She is not the original Li Ruolan, and she cannot make any decisions for the original owner, so she is not qualified to accept this apology on behalf of the original Li Ruolan.
To her, Li Ruoju was just a stranger she had just met, so she didn't want to take on this trouble.
"I can't do it. The hurt is real. In fact, I found that the three of us sisters have inherited all the temperaments of our parents.
We look like a family, but in fact we are all selfish. My parents are selfish. They sold my eldest sister and they wanted to sell you too. Later, they even wanted to sell me.
You and your elder sister were also selfish. You didn't dare to resist your parents. When you were angry and didn't want to do the work, you pushed all the work to me just to make yourself feel better in that family.
I am also selfish. Since I escaped from that home, I really don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
Now we are no longer in that family where we need to be exploited. If we come to the countryside and work hard, we can all have enough to eat.
Most of the educated youth in the educated youth center are good people. You can work with them and no one will bully you. You don’t have to get entangled with us.”
