On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month in 1996, everyone got off the train. The railway station near the New Year was particularly noisy and bustling.
Those selling all kinds of things are no longer as sneaky and secretive as they were before. They know that the policy has been opened up, but they still dare not do business boldly. Who knows if the policy will change?
But it’s really busy these days. How can there be more business than legitimate business if people are hiding and doing business?
After getting off the train, Wang Guifen found a place to sit for a long time before she recovered.
Although I bought a sleeper berth, I didn't get the lower berth, and it was difficult to get on and off the upper berth.
Wang Guifen felt very uncomfortable lying there. Add to that the noise and the smell, and it was really unbearable.
"There should be an airport in two years. By then, it won't take us more than a day to fly back." Alas, the train is really too slow.
Those with a ticket price of 25 get on the bus, and those with a ticket price of 28 get off.
We stopped a taxi and squeezed in. At that time, there was no concept of overloading, so it was no problem to squeeze in one or two more people.
As long as it can fit, it's fine.
Wu Xiaofang also came back, but she didn't plan to go back and was going to celebrate the New Year with Lin Wanwan.
Life at home has been tough these past few years, and my parents' true colors have been revealed.
She wrote to me every now and then. At first, she played the emotional card, crying about how hard life was at home. I ignored her and pretended not to see her. Gradually, she started to threaten me. But what did she care about now? She didn't care about anything.
These threats are worthless to me and are not worth my attention at all.
Sometimes when people become powerful, nothing can threaten them at all, because those so-called handles of yours are of no use to them.
You are like a tiny ant in front of me. I can step on you to death with just a move of my foot. What should I be afraid of?
When my parents choose to watch me bully them so that they will have someone to take care of me when I am old, I have already given up.
So why are you looking for me now? Who did you choose in the beginning? Who should you look for now?
I might have felt sad when thinking about these things in the past, but now I don’t feel anything. It’s only been a year, and my mood has changed a lot.
Maybe it’s because I’ve seen the world.
"What are you thinking about? We're here."
Lin Wanwan patted her shoulder, brought her back to her senses, and then went to the trunk to take the luggage out.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of curses, "You little bitch! You're so powerful! I wrote you so many letters, and you didn't reply to any of them. Do you still care about me, your mother, and this family?"
These people were originally hiding behind the wall behind the yard. They must have heard the sound of a car and hurried out to check. When they found that it was the person they were waiting for, they immediately rushed out and cursed.
Lin Wanwan ignored them and these people went into the house carrying their luggage.
Wu Xiaofang sneered, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
The bland and contemptuous tone angered the other party, "Wu Xiaofang, I am your mother!" The middle-aged woman had a weathered face and gray hairs on her temples. She was so angry that she gasped like a cow and jumped up and down to curse.
Wu Xiaofang smiled faintly, "Do you need me to take out the document of severing ties and show it to you? People need dignity, and trees need bark..."
Everyone knows what is not said.
Another woman in her 20s grabbed the woman in her 40s and said, "Little sister, it was so hard for your mother to give birth to you and raise you. How can you hate your mother for such a small thing? You are so unfilial."
"What else? Why should a son be filial to his unloving father? I'm the one being taken advantage of. I advise you not to be annoying around me. If you annoy me, you might even lose your only job."
He smiled innocently and walked away.
“Don’t regret the decision you made.”
"You little bitch, you're so bold! You dare to talk to me like this? If I talk like this, I'll sue you for being unfilial."
"Go ahead, I'm really scared."
With a bang, the courtyard gate was closed. Several people cursed at the door, but no one paid any attention to the neighbor next door. He came out to watch like a monkey, and left in anger by stomping his feet.
"Your sister has climbed up the social ladder and has become so arrogant that she looks down on us poor relatives."
"See if I don't sue her!!!"
The old woman cursed as she walked, and none of the remaining children noticed anything was wrong, and they all nodded in agreement.
It is a blessing that bad bamboo can produce good bamboo shoots.
In the courtyard
Wu Xiaofang smiled and said, "Okay, the flock of chirping crows has left."
As if he really didn't care at all.
"Good boy, don't mind her. Evildoers will be punished by God." Wang Guifen was shocked. She had never known that Xiaofang's mother was such an unreasonable and immoral person.
In the past, I just hinted at favoring boys over girls. Honestly, favoring boys over girls is the norm these days, and those who don't are the oddballs. I didn't feel anything was wrong.
I didn't expect that he was such a person behind the scenes. It's really eye-opening.
"Aunt, I don't care. When they wrote to their daughters in the countryside asking for money and food, I knew what kind of people they were."
I didn’t have such a deep feeling at home before.
There are many children in the family and we are extremely poor, so there is no reason to treat them differently.
It is a blessing to be able to make a living.
"They even wrote to ask you for two or three. Are they human beings? How dare such a large group of people ask my little girl who went to the countryside for food? Fuck them, they are shameless."
Wang Guifen knew that the girl didn't have a good life at home, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You should just stay in your original room. Take all your things up there and tidy them up. You haven't been back for so long, it must be really dirty. Clean it up."
I looked around the yard and found it was extremely barren, with little rabbits running around all over the ground.
"Oh my god, catch all these rabbits! Otherwise, how can this yard be any better?" Rabbits reproduce very quickly. Now they have food and water, and no natural enemies. They are desperately trying to reproduce. There are at least 100 of them in the yard.
It's really a headache to watch.
