When Sun Danniu found Lu Wei, Lu Wei was worrying about a basin of clothes.
Speaking of the lives of the educated youth, it was really lively. Originally, each of the seven educated youth had one day to cook and clean the yard, which was very fair. Although except for Tian Tian and Wang Qiang who did a good job in housework, everyone else was mediocre, it was rare to find someone as outrageous as Lu Wei.
Lu Wei has been in Qingshan Village for several months, but she has not been able to cook a single meal. Every time it is her turn, she cooks a pot of black stuff made of something unknown. At first, no one could finish it and would help her, but later they found out that Lu Wei just didn't work hard and was just making do. She often received food and drinks sent from home, and could get by without eating for a day, but other people's families were not as well off as hers, and they would starve to death if they didn't eat.
But he really couldn't bear to say that, "Lu Wei, don't cook anymore in the future." Moreover, when Lu Wei was cleaning the yard, she was just doing it to get by. Not only did she not do her job well, but she also caused trouble for others.
So the six of them discussed and decided not to live together with her anymore. They would live together and Lu Wei would live alone. For this, Lu Wei cried and made a fuss, and went to the team leader and the secretary to say that she was isolated and excluded. However, not only did she not get sympathy, but she was also scolded by Chen Zhifang.
Because almost all of Lu Wei's work points in the past few months had been deducted, her monthly food rations had to be borrowed from the village. Now Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian didn't want to indulge her anymore, so they asked Lu Wei to pay back the borrowed food with money, and they were severely criticized.
Lu Wei had no choice but to learn to cook by herself since no one cooked for her. She did it quite well, but this made Li Jiawei very angry. She thought that it was not that she was bad at cooking, but that she did it on purpose. From then on, she was no longer in a good mood towards Lu Wei. The two of them often quarreled, but each time ended with Lu Wei being scolded and crying.
What is troubling Lu Wei the most right now is not cooking, but the clothes in front of her. It is autumn and the weather is getting colder. Every time she washes clothes, she feels like her hands are going to crack, and no matter how much lotion she applies, it is of no use.
The appearance of Sun Danniu gave Lu Wei an idea.
"Little sister, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lu Wei simply gave up washing and threw the clothes away. If she guessed correctly, someone would help her wash them later.
Sun Danniu's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for Lu Wei in front of her to hear clearly: "I will help you wash clothes, and you give me food."
Lu Wei curled her lips. She knew that the child in front of her was someone who hadn't had enough to eat all year round. They were not related at all, and he must have something to ask for since he came to her. "Then you wash first. If you wash it clean, I'll give you food."
Sun Danniu didn't say a word, she squatted down and started to scrub the clothes. Unlike her thin body, Sun Danniu's hands were red and swollen, like carrots, and it was completely impossible to tell that they were the hands of a twelve-year-old girl.
Fortunately, it was not a valuable piece of cloth, otherwise it would have been ruined by her rubbing it. Lu Wei thought so in her heart and said so out loud. Sun Danniu, who was scrubbing the clothes diligently, just paused when she heard it, without showing any expression.
Lu Wei felt even more disdainful in her heart. Some people could endure anything for money. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to accept being looked down upon like this.
Sun Danniu worked quickly and soon finished washing and hanging up the clothes. She also took the spatula from Lu Wei's hand, made some pancakes, and quickly cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup.
"That's great, little sister. You work so efficiently," Lu Wei was very satisfied. "Okay, then you can come and work for me from now on. I'll provide you with food and give you one dollar every month. Is that okay?"
Sun Danniu shook her head and stretched out three fingers. Lu Wei shrugged and said, "Okay, three pieces is three pieces."
When Tian Tian and Li Jiawei came back arm in arm, they saw Lu Wei having dinner with a strange girl. The two of them didn't communicate with each other and didn't seem to be very familiar with each other.
Tian Tian asked in confusion: "Lü Wei, who is this little sister? Why is she eating in our yard?"
Lu Wei still didn't hold much resentment towards Tian Tian, but that didn't mean she would tell him everything. "Oh, my new friend, come eat with me from now on. We're not sharing a meal together anyway, so it shouldn't bother you."
It was so sarcastic that it made people uncomfortable. Tian Tian frowned and decided that it would be better to talk less to this person in the future.
Li Jiawei rolled her eyes and pulled Tian Tian away. After entering the house, she whispered to Tian Tian, "She must have been bribed. Look at the clothes in that yard. It doesn't look like Lu Wei washed them herself."
"I think so too. Lu Wei has approached me several times before, saying that she wanted to give me money and asked me to help her with laundry, cooking and cleaning, but I always refused. I didn't expect that she would set her sights on a child now." Tian Tian sighed. This Lu Wei was really a spoiled rich girl.
Li Jiawei hated Lv Wei the most because their names had a homophone. When many people called her Xiaowei, it was easy for misunderstandings to occur. "Let's ignore her and never say a word to her again."
Tian Tian smiled and nodded. Li Jiawei was actually a very good girl, although she was tough on the outside. She wouldn't have said such words unless she was extremely annoyed.
After Sun Danniu finished eating, she washed the dishes, helped Lu Wei wipe the table, made the bed, and then trotted back home. Li Ying had been waiting at home for a long time. When he saw Sun Danniu appear, he started beating her up.
"You little bitch, you're back so late. Did you go out fooling around?" Li Ying pulled Su Danniu's arm and pinched it hard. "Don't you know to come home and cook and work? I didn't raise you for nothing!"
Sun Danniu said nothing and silently endured the beating. Li Ying was most annoyed by her lifeless appearance. "Hurry up and get in there and chop the firewood!"
It was already past dinner time. Li Ying couldn't wait for Sun Danniu to finish school, so she cooked a meal for Fu Tianming and Fu Chengcai. Of course, she wouldn't leave any for Sun Danniu. She was just looking for an excuse to vent her anger.
When Sun Danniu finished all her work and lay down, the room had become quiet, with only the intermittent snoring sounds indicating that there were other people in the room.
Sun Danniu was very satisfied with the meal today. Under Li Ying's command, she not only did not have enough to eat, but was also beaten. Since she would be beaten anyway, she might as well go to Lu Wei's place to eat first. Sun Danniu felt that her plan was great.
Moreover, Lu Wei seemed to be a person with no brains. Sun Danniu curled her lips in the dark, thinking that it was just because she was born into a good family. If she were Lu Wei, she would definitely have a better life.
Perhaps she could use Lu Wei to do more. Sun Danniu was very tired, but her mind was unusually clear and active. Many ideas flashed through her mind, and then eventually fell silent. Wait a little longer, now is not the time...
