When Qian Duoduo returned to her room, she thought about how Qian Rao had actually gotten a girlfriend. Although it was common for people to get married at 19 or 20 in this era, Qian Feng and Qian Rao were both older when they got married. This made Qian Duoduo feel like she had returned to the time before she transmigrated into the book. Back then, although she was 38 years old, her open-minded parents did not start pressuring her to get married, and she did not feel much pressure.
I wonder how my mom is doing in that other world? Is she still reading romance novels, or going to square dancing, or going on a trip with Old Qian?
Qian Duoduo lay in bed for a while, feeling melancholy. After regaining her senses, she patted her face, smiled, and entered the farm. Looking at the vibrant scene, she hummed, "Sunshine, rainbow, little white horse, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter," directing the herbicides and pesticides to clear away the problems in the soil. Only healthy soil can grow excellent plants.
She looked at the shop and saw no news, while the words "Upgraded to Red Soil" were still flashing on her land. Qian Duoduo was sitting next to the land. To be honest, she felt a great sense of accomplishment from developing from four plots to eight. But now a new situation had arisen: she discovered a phantom image of yellow soil next to the eight plots, which meant that a piece of yellow soil could be cultivated.
Now she has two choices: one is to upgrade a piece of land to red land, which costs 150,000 gold coins, and the other is to cultivate another piece of yellow land, which costs 70,000 gold coins. Of course, both choices have the same premise: she has become a level 30 farmer and she has 200,000 gold coins. Upgrading a piece of red land or cultivating a piece of yellow land, this choice is so difficult!
Qian Duoduo really wants to ask the readers who are reading this article: if it were you, what would you choose?
Anyway, she hadn't made up her mind yet, because whether she upgraded or cultivated the land, she would be back to square one, with her gold coins disappearing in a flash. Her heart was aching terribly!
Following the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," Qian Duoduo quit the farm and returned to her still warm bed, ready to sleep!
The holiday began with a cold snap, and it was incredibly cold that day. Everyone in the village stayed home to hibernate, except for Qian Mao, who went to work and went to the county town every day. Sometimes he wouldn't come back if the weather was bad, because it would be a real pain to catch a cold.
In the county committee dormitory, Qian Mao listened to a friend telling him that he had inquired about Wen Yugui and Wen Yuzhu, as well as Wen Dashan, whose family lived in Shanhetun, Wuchang County, was the biological father of the two siblings, and that he had married Qiao Jiao, Wen Yugui's current wife, six months after Wen Yugui's biological mother passed away.
Qiao Jiao was originally a widow whose husband had died. The two were from the same village. When they first got married, she treated the Wen siblings quite well. However, a year and a half later, she gave birth to a son. She felt that she had established herself in the Wen family and began to reveal her true nature.
Especially after Wen Yugui dropped out of school to stay home and take care of the children, Wen Yuzhu's standard of living dropped drastically, and she became like a deflated balloon.
Wen Dashan was overjoyed to have a youngest son, and with Qiao Jiao's influence, he seemed to have forgotten that his original intention in marrying Qiao Jiao was to take care of his deceased wife's two children.
In the end, it was Aunt Wen who came to her brother's house. When she saw that Qiao Jiao's son was as fat as a ball, while Wen Yugui and Wen Yuzhu were as thin as bamboo poles, she was heartbroken. Wen Dashan's deceased wife and Aunt Wen had a good relationship.
Aunt Wen's husband is in the military and is away from home most of the year. She and her daughter live alone. Seeing her niece and nephew like this, she feels sorry for them and looks down on Qiao Jiao. However, her younger brother dotes on his wife, so she can't say anything.
Finally, when Wen Yugui was seeing off her eldest aunt, she knelt down and begged her to take her younger brother away from there. She was afraid that one day her brother would die because Qiao Jiao tormented the two siblings when Wen Dashan was not at home. She was a little better off because Qiao Jiao also made her look after Wen Yuqiao, but her brother was often punished by not being allowed to eat for the smallest things and was often on the verge of starvation. If she hadn't secretly given her little bit of food to her brother, the grass on his grave would probably be as tall as a person.
When Aunt Wen heard this, she was so surprised that her mouth dropped open. She went back in anger and gave Qiao Jiao a severe beating. In the end, she gave her fifty yuan and made Wen Dashan write a letter severing ties, saying that she would keep the child.
As Wen Yuzhu was led away by his aunt, he kept looking back at his sister. Wen Yugui's eyes were red. He had finally escaped this family and hoped that his aunt could raise him to adulthood.
Wen Dashan was raised by his aunt from a young age. He didn't dare to stop or resist when he saw his wife being beaten. But after his aunt left, he felt like something was missing as he held the fifty yuan.
Qiao Jiao was naturally unwilling to be beaten for nothing, so she whispered in Wen Dashan's ear that night, and the next day, Wen Dashan beat Wen Yugui up. If the old Party Secretary hadn't come to find Wen Dashan and witnessed this scene, Wen Yugui probably wouldn't have seen the sun rise the next day.
Wen Dashan was scolded by the old Party Secretary for this, and he dared not openly beat people anymore. However, Qiao Jiao only gave him one meal a day, which was worse than pig swill. This made Wen Yugui's heart slowly cool down. She really couldn't stay in such a home.
So one day, when Wen Dashan took Qiao Jiao and Wen Yuqiao to the Qiao family, she secretly ran to the old Party Secretary's house and begged him to save her.
The old Party Secretary was also soft-hearted, especially after seeing how a lovely young girl had been ruined in less than three years. So he issued her a certificate and took her to the police station to re-register her household registration. Although this operation was not in accordance with the law, the old Party Secretary's in-law happened to be the person in charge of household registration at the police station. In the end, he secretly manipulated the process to make the date of the household registration before Wen Yugui's mother passed away.
For this, the old Party Secretary even treated his father-in-law to a good meal.
With her own household registration, Wen Yugui's marriage was finally no longer controlled by Wen Dashan and Qiao Jiao. In the end, the old Party Secretary went the extra mile and gave Wen Yugui a letter of introduction for a period of one month.
Wen Yugui was also a capable person. She used the 50 cents given to her by the old Party Secretary to buy and sell goods to earn her travel expenses. She was also daring, and she actually made it all the way to Shangzhi County.
She even managed to get a temporary job washing dishes in a restaurant kitchen because of her abilities. With this temporary job, she was able to register her household registration at Aunt Wen's home in Shangzhi County.
When Qian Rao met Wen Yugui, Wen Yugui was helping the restaurant's purchasing agent carry things. The young girl was bold and resourceful, and she was doing quite well at the restaurant.
After listening to his friend finish speaking, Qian Mao gave him 5 yuan and a bottle of mushroom sauce made by his mother, and said with a smile, "This is what we agreed on. This is made by my mother. Take it back and let your family try it."
The other party laughed: "Qian Laosan, you're quite the gentleman. Let me know if you need anything in the future!"
Qian Mao smiled and nodded. After watching the other person leave, he remained silent. Wen Yugui was indeed pitiful. It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. But this girl is also resourceful and capable. Although she has been helped by benefactors along the way, it is all in vain if she cannot help them.
However, the fourth brother, being so simple-minded, would definitely be completely at the mercy of others. After thinking for a moment, Qian Mao left the dormitory and headed towards the restaurant where Wen Yugui worked.
