Chapter 18: Pluck the Feathers of Passing Geese (I)



"It's no trouble. On behalf of our Youth League Office, I want to thank you and your family for supporting our work."

Seeing that she didn't hold on to her, Gao Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got back to work.

"Shushu, why are you here?"

Jiang Yunshu heard someone calling her. She looked up and saw it was Uncle Lin. She didn't think about hiding it from him and said directly, "My parents asked me to come over to help my family register."

In fact, the most fundamental point is that Lin Daguo is the director of the Youth League Office, and she cannot hide it even if she wants to.

Instead of this, it is better to be honest. It will be better for everyone.

"In that case, Uncle Lin won't bother you anymore. When you're done, come to my office. I have something to tell you." Lin Daguo said and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Gao Hongxia to take good care of it.

After Lin Daguo returned to the office, Gao Hongxia, trembling with fear, dared to speak: "Little comrade, do you know our director?"

"Are you talking about Uncle Lin? I know him, comrade. Have I got my things ready?"

"Comrade, it will be ready soon. Please sit there and wait for a moment."

After a while, Gao Hongxia suddenly said, "Young comrade, Jiang Yunshu's name is already on the list of people going to the countryside. There's no need to process it anymore."

Jiang Yunshu was a little surprised: "Really? What about the others?"

Gao Hongxia said embarrassmently, "Everyone else has already been sorted out. The problem now is that the quota for An City is full. It will be difficult for your family to be assigned to the same place."

"We will go wherever conditions are difficult. How can the love of our own families compare to building our motherland? Comrades, we have the determination and perseverance to endure hardships. Please send us to the most remote and difficult places in our motherland."

Finally, at Jiang Yunshu's strong insistence, Jiang Fuchang and Jiang Yaozong were assigned to the Northwest, and Gu Aifang and Jiang Yunmei went to Hai Province.

The northwest suffers from drought and water shortage all year round, and the coastal province at that time had not yet been fully developed. It was like a deserted island, humid and hot, with many mosquitoes, rats and ants.

Neither was a good place, and the family was ruthlessly torn apart.

Gao Hongxia, who has been immersed in the workplace for many years, is not a fool. She just turns a blind eye and acts nice for the sake of the director's face.

Anyway, in the end, no matter how much trouble there was, it would not be her fault, but this little girl was really ruthless.

Jiang Yunshu pocketed all the subsidies and various receipts for the Jiang family of four going to the countryside, totaling nearly two hundred yuan.

"Comrade, I'm really sorry to bother you with this matter today. Take this candy back home and give it to your children to sweeten their mouths."

Jiang Yunshu said as he took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Gao Hongxia's hand.

It’s called a handful, but it’s actually only four or five yuan.

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

Gao Hongxia said she was sorry, but her body was very honest. She held the White Rabbit candy tightly in her hand.

Jiang Yunshu said, "It's not something valuable, so put it away quickly. Uncle Lin wants to see me, so I have to go over there. Otherwise, he'll be getting anxious waiting for me."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll thank you on behalf of the naughty kids at home."

As soon as Jiang Yunshu left, Gao Hongxia quickly put the White Rabbit milk candies into her pocket and refused to eat any of them.

Lin Daguo asked with a smile: "Shushu, are you done?"

"It's done." Jiang Yunshu hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Uncle Lin, do you think I was too harsh?"

She was somewhat concerned about what the Lin family thought of her.

Lin Daguo didn't answer but asked, "What do you think, Shushu?"

"When I was young, the Jiang family bullied me, beating and scolding me. When I grew up a little, they beat and scolded me even more severely. If Aunt Fu hadn't saved me last time, I would have died. Now they have sent me to the countryside. To put it bluntly, they just want me to die.

When I was little, I could find excuses for them, saying that they didn't like me because I was ignorant, but what about when I grew up? No matter what I did, they just didn't like me. Their lives are lives, so my life is also life. Besides, I'm just treating them the way they treat me, and I don't think I've done anything wrong.

This is also what the "original owner" has always thought in her heart. If no one loves her, then she will love herself.

A trace of heartache flashed across Lin Daguo's eyes: "What Shushu thinks is right is right, and there is no need to consider other people's opinions."

He heard from his wife that the little girl's body was covered with old scars. It went without saying that such a young girl had to endure a lot of hardships to make a living in that family.

If it were him, he would probably do something even more extreme.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Jiang Yunshu smiled with relief.

"Girl, why are you being so polite to me? I called you over here to tell you that I have already arranged a place for you to go to the countryside.

From now on, your Aunt Fu and I will be away, so remember to take good care of yourself. If you are truly wronged, please write home and your Aunt Fu and I will come and support you."

Support, what a special word, so special that it was the first time in Jiang Yunshu's two lifetimes that she had heard someone say it to her.

Jiang Yunshu's eyes were hot.

…………

When Jiang Yunshu arrived home, Jiang Fuchang and his family of four had just started eating. Jiang Yunshu also sat down and ate a little, then went back to the house to lie down.

Gu Aifang said, "Let this girl be arrogant for a few more days. When we get to the countryside, I'll see how arrogant she can be."

Jiang Fuchang glared at Gu Aifang and said, "Be quiet! Don't let her hear you. She'll make a scene again if she hears."

Gu Aifang immediately shut her mouth.

Little did they know that Jiang Yunshu, who was lying in the room, heard their conversation clearly.

Sorry, their plan will fail.

After a while, Jiang Yunshu got up from the bed and poured the crushed tablets into the kettle while no one was paying attention.
