Chapter 275: New and Old Grudges
Originally, Xia Fangfang had high standards. Later, she went to university and had a boyfriend in Beijing. She looked down on any of the country men in the village.
After being fired, she returned to the village in disgrace. People in the village also spread the rumor that she had already given her body to the man in Jing City, so her reputation was ruined.
In addition, her father and grandmother were taken away for labor reform, so Liu Hongmei and her brother Xia Chuncai were extremely anxious to find a husband for her and marry her off.
But after talking for a year, no young man of similar age was willing to marry her.
There were a few bachelors in their thirties who were interested, but Xia Fangfang was too blindly confident and looked down on them.
This has been going on for more than a year, and her mother and brother have been very careful about her. Her brother and sister-in-law saw her eating dry rice at home, and they also complained about her every day. This year, they even told her directly to work in the fields to earn food, and if she didn't earn enough, she wouldn't have to eat.
This year, Xia Fangfang had no choice but to go to the fields to work. She suffered the most since she was born, and she cried and begged the sky. It was a pity that there were no longer people like Xia Shuangshan, Lin Yuru and Xia Juanjuan in her family who could be bullied and controlled by her.
It was almost time for the autumn and winter harvest, and Xia Fangfang was getting anxious. She was two years older than Xia Juanjuan and was already 25 years old. If she stayed in the countryside in those days, she would have been an old maid who could not get married.
But she was still unwilling to accept it in her heart. Although she was expelled, she was a college graduate after all. How could she become a farmer again?
Therefore, I thought about coming here to be a teacher, but when I saw Zhu Xiaopeng wearing a white shirt and standing out among the gray villagers and educated youth, with a handsome appearance, I was moved.
Although Zhu Xiaopeng still has a rural household registration, he is already a cadre of the commune at a young age, so he should be considered worthy of her.
Zhu Xiaopeng and Secretary Zhao worked together to prepare the test papers for the teachers, and they also gave one to Xia Fangfang so that she could take the test together.
If her performance is really outstanding, Secretary Zhao is willing to let bygones be bygones and give her another chance.
However, Xia Fangfang's heart was completely on Zhu Xiaopeng, and she didn't take the test seriously - the key point was that she was busy dating and cheating in college, so she couldn't do it seriously - she just flirted with Zhu Xiaopeng.
Zhu Xiaopeng was so embarrassed that he found an excuse and left.
Seeing this, Xia Fangfang thought that Zhu Xiaopeng had accepted her secret glances, so she handed in her paper and chased after him without saying a word.
She had a good plan in mind. Zhu Xiaopeng was the school's principal. As long as she could win Zhu Xiaopeng over and marry him, it wouldn't matter how she performed in the exams. Her man was the school leader, so if she wanted to be a teacher, couldn't she just do it?
Zhu Xiaopeng saw that he had already escaped, but Xia Fangfang still shamelessly chased him, shouting "Brother Xiaopeng, Brother Xiaopeng" loudly as she chased him, her face turned black.
Xia Fangfang kept shouting from behind, and Zhu Xiaopeng almost ran away.
Later, there were too many people watching, so Zhu Xiaopeng had no choice but to stop and politely ask, "Have you finished your paper?"
Xia Fangfang thought that the other person cared about her, so she quickly smiled and said, "I've finished writing. Brother Xiaopeng, I called you for a long time, why didn't you respond? It's so embarrassing for me..."
Zhu Xiaopeng almost vomited.
However, he was well-mannered and suppressed his discomfort, saying, "After you hand in your papers, go home. The results will be announced tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked back without looking back.
Seeing this, Xia Fangfang quickly followed him and said, "Brother Xiaopeng, why are you ignoring me? I handed in my paper early just to talk to you for a while..."
After hearing this, Zhu Xiaopeng walked faster and entered the classroom where the teacher was giving the assessment.
When Xia Fangfang wanted to go in again, she was stopped by two young men who came over to the door as volunteers to guard the door: "Hey! You have handed in your paper, you can't go in!"
Xia Fangfang felt upset for a while, but she was confident that Zhu Xiaopeng was just shy, so she had to go back.
The results were announced the next day. Xia Fangfang, who scored a single digit and even wrote her own name wrong, was naturally not on the list.
Xia Fangfang was so angry that she went to Zhu Xiaopeng's house to argue, and she felt like a victim, thinking that Zhu Xiaopeng had abandoned her and played with her feelings.
It’s a pity that Zhu Xiaopeng doesn’t know how to quarrel, but he has a mother whose eloquence is no worse than Aunt Wu’s, Aunt Zhu.
Aunt Zhu put her hands on her hips and scolded Xia Fangfang.
"Xia Fangfang, are you okay? Why don't you count on your fingers to see how old you are? Oh, you can't even count on your fingers. I heard from the villagers that you only got 8 points in arithmetic in the test yesterday? You are not even as good as the children in the village who go to primary school! Let me help you calculate, you are 25 years old this year! Look at Juanjuan, who is 23 years old and has given birth to three sons for her man! You are 25 and still not married! My Xiaopeng is only 24! No matter how bad we are, there is no way we would fall for a slut like you!
Besides, why don't any men want you? Don't you have any idea in your heart? If you had studied better and behaved yourself in Beijing University, you wouldn't have got the bad reputation you have now.
What's going on now? Seeing that my little Peng has returned from college, you want to harm my little Peng? Hurry up and take a piss and look at yourself. Are you worthy? Let me tell you, you want to date my little Peng, or even marry my little Peng? Don't say that my little Peng doesn't like you. As long as I'm alive, don't dream of this! Get out of here! If you keep barking at my door, I'll splash you with my foot washing water!"
After hearing this, Xia Fangfang, who was not very shameless at being scolded, blushed and ran back home in anger.
On the way back, Xia Fangfang saw Zhu Xiaopeng talking to Xia Juanjuan with a smile on his face. The humiliation and blow she had suffered today made her so angry that she rushed over like a madman.
"Xia Juanjuan! You are so shameless! How dare you seduce Brother Xiaopeng! I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
Xia Juanjuan turned around and saw Xia Fangfang and was stunned for a moment.
Didn't she just meet Zhu Xiaopeng, ask a few questions about the school's preparations, and ask the teachers in the school to help look after the kids at home?
Did Xia Fangfang become a mad dog after being fired? Does she bite anyone she sees?
However, Xia Fangfang had already rushed over, leaving her no time to think any further.
Zhu Xiaopeng subconsciously shouted: "Be careful!"
Having said that, he stood in front of Xia Juanjuan without thinking.
However, there was no need for him to stop Xia Juanjuan, as she had already dodged and then tripped. Xia Fangfang was already in a hurry, and she fell face first into the dirt!
It’s a pity that Xia Fangfang doesn’t know when to stop.
Xia Fangfang has always felt superior to Xia Juanjuan since she was a child. Her family has always spoiled her. The good food, drinks and clothes are all given to her first. Only when she doesn't want them or they are left over will it be Xia Juanjuan's turn. Even when it comes to going to college, if she wants, her family will let her take their place!
But now, she was expelled from the university, and her loving grandmother and father were taken away for labor reform. She is already 25 years old, but has not yet married. She finally fell in love with Zhu Xiaopeng, but he rejected her and she was just humiliated by Zhu Xiaopeng's mother.
In contrast, Xia Juanjuan was clearly "sold" by her family to be a wife to an injured and impotent man. In fact, she was married to serve her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. She should have lived a life of being treated like a slave and being beaten and scolded.
But she happened to meet a good man who not only had no health problems, but also protected his wife in everything. He even gave most of his allowance of several dozen yuan to Xia Juanjuan right after they got married! Xia Juanjuan was also lucky enough to give birth to triplets, all of whom were sons!
How come Xia Juanjuan gets all these good things?
Why? She was supposed to be the one who was treated like a star and had a good life, but in the end, she was inferior to Xia Juanjuan in every way.
Xia Fangfang was unwilling!
She got up again and rushed towards Xia Juanjuan: "Xia Juanjuan! If you have the guts, don't hide behind Brother Xiaopeng! I will scratch your face today! Let you go out and show off!"
Xia Juanjuan was so angry that she sneered.
The original owner had been bullied for so many years in the Xia family, and even her place in college was taken away by someone else. She just secretly reported Xia Fangfang, which indirectly led to her being expelled from school, but she has never really taken revenge.
Now, Xia Fangfang is the first to complain and cause trouble for her.
Very good! Let’s settle all the old and new grudges today!
Xia Juanjuan dodged swiftly, then raised her foot again, this time kicking Xia Fangfang directly in the knee. Xia Fangfang immediately fell to her knees in a panic: "Ah!"
Xia Juanjuan sneered: "Xia Fangfang, you don't have to give me such a big gift. Because even if you kneel down to apologize, I won't accept it!"
As he spoke, he had already grabbed Xia Fangfang's hair, raised his hand and slapped her cleanly with a "smack!"
"This slap is a lesson for you to keep your mouth full of shit and ruin my reputation! If you dare to let me hear you scold me again, I will slap you for every word! If you don't believe me, we'll just wait and see!"
Then, there was another "pop!" sound.
"This slap is to teach you a lesson for taking my place in college!"
“Bang!”
"This slap is for all the bullying you gave me in the Xia family! But one slap is definitely not enough. You can continue to act like a demon, and I will beat you back one by one in the future!"
"Bang!"
\"This slap...I just got used to it. I'm too lazy to think of a reason...\"
After Xia Juanjuan slapped Xia Fangfang four times, her face was already shaped like a pig's head.
It was the first time in her life that she saw Xia Juanjuan, who was always taciturn, submissive and easy to be bullied, so cold and scary! She stared at Xia Juanjuan with horror in her eyes.
Xia Juanjuan threw Xia Fangfang's hair aside, looked down at her, and said with a cold smile: "Xia Fangfang, don't act like a demon, don't mess with me. Otherwise... Anyway, I still remember a lot of debts you owe me, I don't mind us settling them one by one!"
