Ruan Jiu smiled, letting Bai Miaoqin tell her a very compelling story about how innocent she was, how she was deceived, and how the blame belonged to others.
He grabbed a chair, rested one hand on the backrest, and chuckled, "Bai Miaoqin, do you think I'm stupid?"
Bai Miaoqin was in a really bad state, looking pitiful and pale, but she didn't stir any emotion in Ruan Jiu's heart.
Caught off guard by Ruan Jiu's question, Ruan Jiu clicked her tongue twice and stood up: "Bai Miaoqin, your father was a hero. I have done right by raising you for decades. But you are not worthy to mention your father's name."
"shame."
His voice was icy cold.
Bai Miaoqin's face turned pale instantly, while Ruan Jiu had already clapped her hands and left. A Wu, however, paused for a moment, his face stern, and reminded her, "Miss Bai, oh, by the way, even if you're lying here unable to move, you're still going to be sent to the cowshed for reform today..."
No sooner had he left than a group of spirited young men and women, dressed in smart old green clothes, burst in. After confirming Bai Miaoqin's identity, they were already hot-blooded and naturally showed no mercy. Instead, they excitedly said, "This is a bad element sent from Beidu. We must make sure she turns over a new leaf."
Bai Miaoqin was dragged to a village by this group of people. There, she heard a young woman wearing an armband, who was in the lead, raise her chin and say to the village chief, "We need to give her the hardest and most tiring work so that she can correct her mistakes."
She fainted in a daze, but was mercilessly woken up by being doused with cold water: "Hmph, you bad elements love to pretend to avoid work. Let me tell you, work is glorious. You need to do a lot of work to realize your mistakes."
Bai Miaoqin only now realized that cleaning toilets in Beidu wasn't the worst thing she'd ever been in...
Life is never the worst; it can only get worse.
The fleas in the cowshed were jumping around everywhere. Bai Miaoqin had just let out a scream when she was silenced like a duck whose throat had been stepped on, and dared not speak again because of the stares of others.
These people were exhausted from their daily work, had scarce food, and were hungry. They also had to go on stage from time to time. When they finally had a few free moments, no one wanted to be disturbed by Bai Miaoqin.
Even if Bai Miaoqin was sick, it wouldn't help. If she didn't complete all the assigned tasks each day, she wouldn't have anything to eat. How could she have the mind to take care of her delicate and frail body and work hard? Being hungry was too painful.
After hearing the news, Ruan Jiu said with a playful tone, "You see, some people are just idle. When they don't have enough to eat or wear, they don't have so many problems."
A-Wu remained silent.
The bald boy scratched his head, thinking, "Mr. Ruan is so scary..."
“There’s no point in listening to these words. Let’s go and check on Xiangyang Brigade. I feel like I’m going to get moldy from all this time of recuperating.”
Ruan Jiu spoke.
The bald young man pondered for a moment. Mr. Ruan's words should not be contradictory. He shouldn't be arguing with himself out of boredom.
Ruan Jiu's reason for going to Xiangyang Brigade was because of Shi Lingheng. Since Zhang Desheng had already discovered the situation, how could Ruan Jiu not have heard the news? She went to ask if they needed any help.
He's really bored and indifferent right now.
Bai Miaoqin tidied up quickly and efficiently. He had no mood to argue with her or listen to her nonsense. If she was dishonest, he would teach her how to honestly atone for her sins.
As for Shi Lingheng, he was still somewhat inclined to lend a hand, since that brat would owe him a favor in the future...
