"You little bitch!" Aunt Li, the village head's wife, called out, "Your uncle Xue has guests coming to his house, and we want you to go and entertain them."
Yun Yuan frowned. This was how the Xue family was. They had already started arranging work for the original owner before she even got married.
Such tasks as washing clothes, collecting extra grass for pigs, and helping to clean the house were completely like treating the original owner as a free laborer.
The original owner would not refuse, but now that it was Yun Yuan's turn, she naturally would not go. She said, "Auntie, I have something to do, so I won't go."
Aunt Li was a little surprised. This girl always listened to the Xue family. She would do whatever the Xue family asked her to do. She would not refuse to farm, plant rice, or harvest rice. She would just work hard. Now she has learned to resist?
That’s good, Aunt Li thought, finally I’m not so stupid anymore.
Aunt Li complained in her heart that this was the first time she had seen a grandmother like this in her entire life. She always encouraged her granddaughter to work like a slave in the man's family, and even beat and scolded her granddaughter if she was slow.
Although they had arranged a marriage as children, she hadn't gotten married yet. The villagers were saying all sorts of things about her, but Old Lady Xu was like a step-grandmother and didn't care at all.
Although Aunt Li was happy to see Lin Jiancao's change, she knew how cruel Old Lady Xu was when she beat people.
Aunt Li still remembers the scene when Lin Jiancao was "rebellious" and insisted on studying. This girl was also stubborn. Even if she was beaten until she was bleeding, she would endure the pain and kneel down to beg Aunt Xu to let her go to school.
She and the village chief planned to sponsor her, but unfortunately, in the end, the old lady Xu was more experienced than the old lady. After finding out, she pretended to fall, and Lin Jiancao did not finish junior high school.
Aunt Li shook her head and sighed. What a good child! I heard that he was ranked first in elementary school for six consecutive years, but his life was ruined because of the burden of his family. Old Mrs. Xu was really something. She seemed to be afraid that the child would study too much and fly away and ignore her.
Aunt Li secretly didn't want Lin Jiancao to be beaten, and whispered, "Entertaining guests won't take long, and it's not as tiring as working in the fields. If you don't go, your grandmother will beat you."
She looked at Lin Jiancao's face and was surprised. Was Lin Jiancao so beautiful before? She was dressed simply, but she looked even better than the stars on TV.
Yun Yuan smiled and shook her head: "She doesn't dare to hit me now."
Aunt Li felt a little strange, but did not ask any further questions.
She thought that maybe it was because Lin Jiancao was going to get married with Xue Huaiyun, so Old Lady Xu restrained herself a little. After all, it would not look good in wedding photos if her face was injured.
Yun Yuan saw a pink corner on the ridge of the field by the road, her eyes lit up, but she calmly withdrew her gaze and looked at Aunt Li with some expectation.
"Auntie, I want to go to town. Can you take me? I want to buy some daily necessities."
Daily necessities? Aunt Li understood: "We are all villagers, why do you need money? I'll call your brother Mingzhuo and ask him to take you out."
Lin Mingzhuo is Aunt Li’s grandson. He graduated from an agricultural university and returned to the village after graduation. He engaged in breeding and planted fruit trees, and his career was doing well.
"Thank you, Auntie." Yun Yuan said gratefully.
Baiwu Village is 30 kilometers away from the town. If you only take bus No. 11, you have to walk from morning to afternoon. Villagers go out either by bicycle or by motorcycle.
The village chief's family has a tricycle, and the villagers are happy to ask his family for a ride when they go out, of course they have to pay.
The mountain road is difficult to travel on, and 30 kilometers will consume a lot of fuel.
"They are all trivial matters." Aunt Li took out the mobile phone she got as a gift when she topped up her phone bill in front of Yun Yuan and called Lin Mingzhuo. Due to the poor signal, it took several tries before the call was connected.
After she left, Yun Yuan walked down from the curb, picked up the 100 yuan, curled her lips, and thought that the words were really useful.
She put the money into the space, and her heart was itching to do something. She wanted to curse the Xue family and Old Mrs. Xu, but she swallowed it back. She decided to wait a little longer. When Xue Huaiyun came back, she would burn down his house and destroy everything.
I finally finished watching the system's short movie, stretched myself in the space, and rarely paid attention to the progress.
[Host, Xie Yichen and Wei Lin have gone to the Xue family to inquire about the situation. You can go there now to see them. They are both A-level and are old friends of the Yun family in Haicheng.]
[No rush.] Yun Yuan said, [I'm not short of points right now, so let everything take its course. See if the production crew caught any footage of their plot at the Xue family's house.]
"There's a photographer gathering footage near the Xue residence, not far from the room where they're plotting. They should be able to hear it soon," the system said excitedly.
[Very good.] Yun Yuan whispered, "I hope that when Lin Mingzhuo drives me out, I can meet the Xue family and Old Lady Xu."
Old Mrs. Xu was guarding against the original owner and not letting her out. What would she do in front of so many netizens?
Yun Yuan is looking forward to it.
………………
The Xue family lives at the head of the village. There is a longan tree planted on the right side of the door. Now it is the time when the fruits are ripe. The tree is full of golden fruits hanging among the green leaves, and the branches are bent with weight.
When Xue Congliang saw that there were guests coming, he enthusiastically picked several bunches of longan from the tree to entertain the people from the program crew. He gave a little to everyone, even the photography crew.
The live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.
[What a simple and warm-hearted uncle! Yichen and Yanyan really thought too much.]
[They were kind enough to come and investigate in person.]
[Who can watch the little fairy imprisoned?]
[Where's the bitch? Did the director hear my call? I want to see her.]
[I think so too, but unfortunately she is not a guest on the show, so I can't see her all the time.]
[Whoever can contact the program team, I'd like to sponsor Xiao Ji with the best live streaming equipment. Let her start live streaming. I'll definitely support her!]
Xiaoji's family still lives in a mud house, so life must have been extremely difficult. Without a good degree to help him get into the industry, livestreaming agricultural products might be a good way out.
Let her stay in the entertainment industry as a vase. These days, every time you turn on a TV show, it's all about the capitalists' ugly children. When will we get some rest?
[The entertainment industry is too complicated. It's better for Xiao Ji not to go in. Actually, she has a good figure and can be a print model.]
[I run a Hanfu shop. Her oval face is perfect for the ancient style. I'd like to ask her to take some photos for my business...]
Seeing that the topics discussed in the barrage were all about Lin Jiancao, the director thought this was a good opportunity to capture traffic and wanted to ask the camera crew to film more of Lin Jiancao's life, but when he thought of how difficult Old Lady Xu was, he decided to forget it.
What if a fight breaks out and the police are called, and his show is banned?
Xie Yichen sat on a wooden stool. Due to his height, the stool was a little too low, and his long legs had nowhere to rest, making him look uncoordinated.
The same goes for Wei Lin.
The two sat at the door of the Xue family's house and started talking to the Xue family from the topic of longan trees, and then talked about Yun Yuan.
"I heard your family is having a happy event in a couple of days. Is there anything we can do?" Wei Lin smiled slightly, a smile that was pure and clear, harmless, and said to Xue Congliang, "Uncle Xue, just give me your instructions. As long as I can provide you with food, that's fine."
He touched his stomach and looked a little pitiful.
