Chapter 160 The Past
Whether it was a coincidence, or Jiang Jianni seemed too safe and harmless, or it was just that she rarely met someone she could confide in, or perhaps it was the phrase "virtuous wife and loving mother" that stirred up Shao Shufen's feelings.
She suddenly became talkative: "Little sister, let me tell you, men are just like that..."
Jiang Jianni was embarrassed, but she couldn't just walk away, so she could only listen to Shao Shufen's complaints with a wronged expression.
Shao Shufen is not old, only thirty-four years old, and her hometown is a rural area in a county under Pingyang.
She was a beautiful and charming girl back then.
This can be seen from her appearance.
Although she dressed up, to be honest, for ordinary people at this time, makeup just looks the same.
At most, they might put on some white powder, draw their eyebrows, and apply lipstick. As for eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss, and the like, not to mention whether they actually use them, many people wouldn't know how to use them.
At that time, the people who were best at makeup were either in theater troupes or film and television crews.
The photographers at the photo studio will only give you Shin-chan eyebrows and bright red lipstick.
Shao Shufen was no exception, but she didn't wear as much makeup.
However, it's clear that she has a very strong foundation.
The facial features and face shape are perfectly matched.
She has a naturally gentle and graceful appearance, which is very attractive to men.
Moreover, he's a scumbag.
When Shao Shufen was in the village, she looked down on the men there. Later, when several educated youths came to the village, she took a liking to one of them.
The male educated youth was also attracted to her. He would occasionally recite a poem, write a love letter, and give her small gifts that seemed worthless now, but which young girls really liked.
And so, with mutual affection, seventeen-year-old Shao Shufen quickly succumbed to the advances of the educated youth.
It had been seven or seven years by then, and waves of educated youth had come and gone. Some were not married, and some were married.
Those who are eligible to marry, apart from a few who genuinely want to settle down, are mostly just lazy people looking for someone to support them, regardless of gender.
Having seen too many examples like this, Shao Shufen's parents completely disapproved of the two being together and even locked Shao Shufen up.
Shao Shufen then made a scene, threatening to go on a hunger strike and hang herself. The elderly couple in the Shao family had no choice but to agree verbally, thinking that even if she were to marry, she shouldn't marry a sent-down youth. In reality, they found her another partner.
Knowing that the deed was done in the end, Shao Shufen had no choice but to comply, even if she didn't want to.
On her wedding day, Shao Shufen discovered that the groom was not the person she loved.
He went berserk on the spot, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and either started stabbing people indiscriminately or threatened to commit suicide.
Who would dare to marry her?
The man was so frightened that he immediately called off the engagement. The couple had no choice but to apologize to the man's family and agree to the marriage between Shao Shufen and the educated youth.
But Shao Shufen was underage to get a marriage certificate, and this happened, so there was nothing they could do. They just vacated a room for them, put up a "double happiness" character on the window and door, and that was considered their marriage.
Apart from Shao Shufen and that educated youth being happy, no one in the Shao family was happy.
Jiang Jianni had also written period novels, so she already guessed what it was after hearing this.
Sure enough, when the college entrance examination was reinstated, male educated youth had to register.
The entire Shao family believed that the male educated youth wanted to return to the city and disagreed with him at all. But Shao Shufen threw a tantrum and insisted on getting the male educated youth registered.
The male educated youth was really smart; he only studied for a month and still got into university and received his university admission notice.
At this time, the Shao family again prevented the educated youth from going to school, saying that he would never come back.
The male educated youth swore that he wouldn't, and asked for nothing except for the fare, food expenses for about ten days, and food coupons. He also left his home address, saying that he would never let her down and would come to pick her up when the summer vacation started.
As Shao Shufen finished speaking, she picked up the liquor next to her, poured herself about two ounces, and gulped it down in one go before sneering, "What do you mean, 'coming to pick me up during summer vacation'? What do you mean, 'only paying for the ride'? It's all bullshit! It's all lies! They're all liars!"
The entire Shao family disbelieved male educated youth, but Shao Shufen did.
After all, there were other educated youth who also passed the college entrance examination as examples.
Those who don't want rural wives or rural husbands either run away with the family's money or cause endless trouble.
The man gave Shao Shufen all of his money, which amounted to over a hundred yuan, except for the bus fare, a few yuan for food, and five jin of grain coupons, telling her not to mistreat herself.
Who wouldn't believe it? Who wouldn't be confused?
And so, the male educated youth went to university, and Shao Shufen discovered she was pregnant.
Jiang Jianni: "Wait, you've been married for a year, how come you only found out she was pregnant now?"
Still immersed in past sorrows, Shao Shufen retorted irritably, "Who said it's been a year? We dated for a year and got married three months ago!"
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Shao Shufen truly believed that the other party would return during the summer vacation.
So even when she was pregnant, she happily focused on her pregnancy, thinking that she might give birth when her partner came back for summer vacation, which would be a pleasant surprise for him.
As a result, one summer vacation passed, then two summer vacations passed, and not only did she receive fewer and fewer letters from the other party until there were none, but the letters she wrote out also gradually became returned because the recipient could not be found.
Shao Shufen then realized that the other party had played a clever delaying tactic.
However, this girl is not someone to be trifled with, and she is quite cunning.
When the other person received their university admission notice, she was still deeply in love with him. When the male educated youth wasn't paying attention, she copied the notice exactly onto a piece of white paper and carefully preserved it.
Besides, the other party had even written her letters.
Over the course of two years, although I wrote fewer and fewer letters, there were still about ten letters in total.
The school address on the envelope was exactly the same as the one on the admission notice.
She decided to go to the school to catch him.
As for the address left by the other party, it was supposedly their hometown address.
funny.
Since the other party had planned to abandon her all along, who knows whether that home address was real or fake.
Furthermore, she also heard from other people in the village who had also been admitted to university that junior college is three years long and undergraduate is four years long, with the final year spent doing an internship at a company.
Fearing she wouldn't be able to find him, she asked her family for some money at the end of the second summer vacation and took her child to wait for him.
The result, of course, was a traffic jam.
I then realized that the address the other party provided was actually correct.
When the other party first left, they did intend to bring her to the city, not because they wanted to get rid of her from the beginning, as she imagined.
After all, aside from anything else, Shao Shufen is really beautiful, hardworking and simple, making her a perfect wife.
But even the most virtuous wife cannot compare to the allure of a father-in-law who is an official.
In addition, the other party's parents looked down on people. Even though Shao Shufen gave birth to a boy, they were unwilling to acknowledge him, let alone this daughter-in-law.
In their words, children born to country bumpkins are all earthy and don't deserve to eat city food; they should be toiling in the fields in the countryside to make a living.
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "Isn't this going too far?"
"This is their own grandson, how could they say such things to a child?"
"Even if he's not your own grandson, you can't say that about someone else's child."
Shao Shufen sneered: "Isn't that right?"
"He keeps saying I'm just a dung beetle, and all I can do is roll dung balls."
"I think they're the ones spewing nonsense."
"Giving them the food we're eating is a complete waste!"
