Li Cuihua picked and chose, and soon she chose an old man from the city whose wife had died and whose children were all married. He was 55 years old this year, almost 20 years older than Li Cuihua.
She could be the head of the household as soon as she got married, and she wouldn't have to take care of her children. Furthermore, the matchmaker said the old man was retired from a fertilizer factory and would receive a generous pension starting at age 60. As long as she took good care of him, she would have no shortage of food or drink.
Changsheng sent Li Cuihua away with an expressionless face, took over the burden of the family, and began to support his family.
It’s not that I don’t want to lock up Li Cuihua and Wang Daniu, these two scumbags, but I can’t help but feel nauseous when I look at them.
The old couple of the Xia family were in poor health to begin with. They had been beaten by Wang Daniu in recent years and had to endure Li Cuihua's indirect criticism. They were already in a dilapidated state.
Changsheng hadn't treated them well, and despite their limited abilities, their cowardice and incompetence had also contributed to the tragedy of their original bodies. Considering that they were elders of the Xia family and had suffered greatly in their later years, she didn't pursue the matter on their behalf, but expecting them to be treated well was impossible.
Just three meals a day, not being demanding, is already the limit.
At school, Changsheng asked his homeroom teacher Cui Haoze to take a leave of absence.
Teacher Cui originally wanted to help her contact the school and village for help, but Changsheng refused.
Changsheng just said that her grandparents were in poor health and it was not something that could be compensated in a little bit. She would take care of the family first and go back to school when she had some extra money.
After repeatedly begging Teacher Cui to help her retain her student status, Cui Haoze finally believed that she did not intend to give up her studies.
Nine years of compulsory education must be protected by law, and this is also because she is only temporarily taking a leave of absence from school, otherwise she would have to face wave after wave of persuasion.
Changsheng took up the work in the fields. The twelve-year-old girl plowing the fields became a hot topic in the village.
The village cadres couldn't stand it anymore and came to offer to help the Xia family.
Changsheng still refused.
Even the town cadres heard about it. How could they not care about the rights of women and children under their jurisdiction?
Despite continued persuasion, Changsheng still refused.
Li Cuihua was found in this way.
Li Cuihua is also suffering. She cannot support the whole family if she stays in the Xia family, not to mention that she is remarried now.
But the visitor won't care whether she has suffered a lot or has no choice but to do so. If you don't go back to take care of the whole family, you have to pay child support.
Where did Li Cuihua get the money? Although her son and daughter did not live with her newly married man, it did not prevent them from being wary of her as their stepmother.
The only money she gets every day is enough for groceries. She saves a lot every day and can barely save a few cents for herself. How can she have enough money to support her own daughter in the village?
With that spare money, she might as well buy herself some new clothes. The nannies in this city are all dressed better than her, and she is jealous.
Li Cuihua showed her rogue side to the fullest, and those who came to preach were scared away.
Finally, after negotiation, the old couple of the Xia family had to be sent to a nursing home, and Changsheng could continue to go back to school.
This is the best solution.
But Changsheng disagreed. She said she could do it. Her grandparents were old and didn't want to leave home.
In the end, we could only provide her family with some material and financial assistance, and asked village cadres and the Women's Federation to arrange for people to visit them regularly.
It’s not that Changsheng wants to take care of the old couple of the Xia family, but according to their facial features, these two people will not live long.
If that’s the case, why bother?
Changsheng was busy with farm work every day, and the Xia family's grandparents could barely take care of the house, which saved Changsheng a lot of trouble.
Every now and then, Changsheng would use the excuse of delivering food to his father-in-law to openly go to Wang Daniu's shabby house and teach him a lesson.
Be sure to let Wang Daniu feel the unique charm of domestic violence.
Spring went and autumn came, and two and a half years passed.
Just when Grandpa Xia couldn't even drink soup, a neighbor brought him a message saying that Wang Daniu had died.
It rained a lot a few days ago, and Wang Daniu's dilapidated house was soaked in water every day. Just as the weather was about to clear up, the wall collapsed and killed Wang Daniu and his big yellow dog.
When he was found, Wang Daniu was naked and the big yellow dog's long whip was still in his asshole.
It was originally a tragic incident, but it became a scandal that became famous far and wide.
Changsheng: Oh, this is because Wang Daniu is dead, so the illusion is no longer effective.
Upon hearing that Wang Daniu had died, the old man of the Xia family finally breathed his last. I wonder if he died with his eyes closed.
When Grandpa Xia passed away, Grandma Xia's sense of hope also dissipated. Within a month, the Xia family held two funerals in a row.
Fortunately, the neighbors and village cadres knew that Xia Changsheng, a child alone, could not do such a thing, so they put in a lot of effort.
But I have to praise this child for being capable.
He took good care of the family's fields and was very filial. After sending his grandparents away, he could finally go to school with peace of mind.
The village cadres also said that they could help find a way to pay for future studies.
Changsheng thanked these people. Although they had kind hearts, they might not be able to help sometimes.
For example, in my original life, I couldn't rely on anyone.
Changsheng returned to school and did not accept any financial support from anyone. It was not because she had money, but because she was actually very poor.
The money for her grandparents' funeral was all she had saved over the past two and a half years, and it was barely enough.
The family’s money had long been taken away by Li Cuihua when she left home.
She is really poor now. Fortunately, the school takes pity on her and the village cadres step in to waive her tuition and miscellaneous fees. She has to find a way to pay for her living expenses by herself.
Bring your own rice, vegetables, and pickles.
You can survive. In fact, most of my classmates got through it this way.
The only difference is probably that their pickles contain more oil and meat.
With the smell of meat in other people's bowls, Changsheng could also eat his fill.
This year is the last semester of the third year of junior high school. If I pass the entrance exam to high school, I can go to the city to study, and then I can look for ways to make money.
Originally, Changsheng would have been demoted for taking a leave of absence, but she insisted on not giving up her studies at home and asked the school to give her a test. If her level could reach that of a third-year junior high school student, she would be allowed to return to her original class and continue her studies.
Fortunately, she passed the school assessment, and all the teachers used her as an inspirational example and positive teaching material in the class. For a time, she became very famous in the school.
After half a year of hard work, Changsheng was successfully admitted to the best high school in the county, and was even admitted to the fast track class.
Cui Haoze felt sorry for the child because he had no elders to take care of him, so he went straight to the town cadres and the principal of the junior high school and asked them to intercede with the high school, hoping that the high school could waive some of the tuition and miscellaneous fees. As Changsheng's former class teacher, he was willing to fund part of the rest.
Perhaps because Changsheng was too inspiring, her high school tuition was waived and 200 yuan of living expenses were deposited into her card every month. However, there was a condition: her grades had to remain within the top 50 in her grade, otherwise the amount of the exemption would be greatly reduced.
Changsheng was very pleased with this unexpected surprise. Not too much, not too little, just enough for him to save money.
