She didn't get out of bed, but she was still in a bad mood because of the hot weather.
These past few days, Gu Changzheng has been busy dealing with things at the pig farm, and he looks a bit thinner. If he has to work in the fields for another month, he'll look like a piece of charcoal ribs.
Lu Huaijiao felt uncomfortable just thinking about that scene.
"We'll give them money? And you won't be going to the fields anymore?"
She tried to offer her opinions.
Gu Changzheng smiled and patted Lu Huaijiao's head when he heard her words.
"Everyone has to go; it's a matter of political correctness."
The harvest season involved collective labor, and besides earning work points, it also genuinely involved the question of whether one's political ideology was correct. Not going was truly unavoidable.
"Can't you even say you're taking care of your pregnant wife at home?"
She is now four months pregnant, and her belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Because it was a multiple pregnancy, the due date was earlier than that of a normal single pregnancy. Lu Huaijiao conceived in May, and according to the hospital's calculation, the delivery time should be around the Lunar New Year.
Gu Changzheng hummed in agreement.
He placed his large hand on the back of her head and kissed her forehead.
"Jiaojiao, be good. After I leave, lock the door and rest in your room. I'll come back at noon to cook lunch and take a nap."
Gu Changzheng coaxed her softly.
Lu Huaijiao pouted, displeased.
But there was no other way.
They could only do as Gu Changzheng had suggested: after he went out to work, they bolted the gate, talked to Xiao Hei in the yard for a while, and then went back to their room and sat on the sofa in a daze.
It's almost September 1975 now, and there are still more than two years before society opens up. During this time, no matter how capable Gu Changzheng is, he has no choice but to obey the brigade's arrangements.
Collective labor like autumn harvest and spring plowing is something you can't escape and have no way to avoid.
Lu Huaijiao felt extremely distressed when she thought about this.
Her man didn't need to do this kind of hard labor at all, but due to circumstances, he had no choice but to do it. This made her feel powerless and frustrated.
I'm not as happy playing at home by myself.
Little Black seemed to sense its owner's displeasure, and it lay listlessly in its bed, not making a sound, and dozing off.
Lu Huaijiao tried to doze off in her room, but after leaning against the sofa for a while, she couldn't fall asleep and instead became increasingly irritable.
The chirping of cicadas and birds outside sounded like noise to Lu Huaijiao.
Why do you do this when the weather is so nice and hot?
'Are you so worried about your man?'
The number 998 sounded.
Lu Huaijiao was too lazy to pay attention to it.
'Have you been keeping an eye on Lu Sisi these past few days?'
Since making Lu Sisi eat feces last time, Lu Huaijiao hasn't gone to bother Lu Sisi for a while.
Don't think she's brainless and only knows how to cause trouble. Well, of course, she really wants to cause trouble for Lu Sisi, otherwise she wouldn't have had Gu Changzheng pull strings to bring her here.
However, Lu Huaijiao is a person who can see the situation clearly. She knows that she is pregnant and cannot afford to make any mistakes. She will deal with Lu Sisi after she gives birth.
Anyway, she's right under my nose now. I'll have 998 keep an eye on her, and I guarantee Lu Sisi won't cause any trouble.
998 snorted, its tone quite arrogant.
'How could I not do this little thing well? I watch over her every day, carrying manure, sleeping, carrying manure, sleeping.'
Moreover, no one knows who leaked Lu Sisi's 'glorious deeds,' which caused village children to run over and tease her every day.
They would make her fall while she was carrying manure, or throw stones into her manure bucket, and some even poured the manure directly on Lu Sisi.
Because they were all naughty children, even though Lu Huaijiao was very angry, there was nothing she could do.
She went to Gu Jianhua to complain, and Gu Jianhua scolded the little rascals, but that was all; he didn't take any further action.
This was completely different from what Lu Sisi had imagined.
What she wanted was more than just a few half-hearted insults from Gu Jianhua; she wanted him to punish those brats or give her a different job.
But it's clear that Gu Jianhua failed to do so.
Feeling aggrieved, Lu Sisi questioned Gu Jianhua whether he held a different view of her because of Lu Huaijiao.
998 relayed what Lu Sisi had said to Gu Jianhua to Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao was stunned after hearing this. She didn't know that there really were people as shameless as Lu Sisi in this world. She actually dared to go and question Gu Jianhua about why Gu Jianhua treated them differently, since they were both Lu Zhengde's daughters.
To be honest, 998 was also shocked when it heard Lu Sisi's words.
It seems like Lu Sisi's brain is really not working properly. Honestly, there's no way the heroine of Destiny could ask such a stupid question.
Looking more closely at Lu Sisi, the light from the spiritual spring on her body seemed to have faded considerably, as if her spiritual spring was drying up.
This person is experiencing a continuous stream of bad luck.
If things continue like this, the spiritual spring within Lu Sisi's body might disappear in less than a year...
'What did my dad say when she asked him a question?'
Lu Huaijiao asked.
What else could he say? He naturally gave Lu Sisi a good scolding.
Lu Sisi made a mistake but didn't reflect on it. Instead, she thought Gu Jianhua was deliberately targeting her. To this end, she didn't hesitate to bring up Lu Zhengde, hoping to use Lu Zhengde's relationship with Gu Jianhua to pressure him.
Gu Jianhua felt that Lu Sisi was sick, and quite seriously so.
He and Lu Zhengde used to have a good relationship, but that relationship was based on the premise that Lu Zhengde was an upright person. Lu Zhengde is of questionable character and morally flawed; how could Gu Jianhua possibly remain on good terms with him?
There's absolutely no way anyone would have an obligation to take care of a man's child, especially one born to a mistress...
Honestly, it would have been fine if Lu Sisi hadn't mentioned Lu Zhengde, but her presumptuous mention of him made Gu Jianhua feel extremely disgusted.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel grateful that his daughter Huaijiao had lived with her maternal grandmother when she was little.
Otherwise, Lu Zhengde might have ruined everything!
Thank goodness!
Lu Sisi was still waiting for Gu Jianhua to change her job and uphold justice. But Gu Jianhua had other thoughts on his mind.
Fortunately, Lu Sisi didn't find out, otherwise she would have been furious.
Lu Sisi's complaint has made no substantial progress.
The children who had been scolded by their families bullied her even more. Sometimes, just as she finished scooping up the manure and was about to lift it up, a child would suddenly appear out of nowhere and kick her and the bucket into the latrine...
This place is right next to the public toilet at the end of the village, where there's a huge flow of people. Many people passed by and saw Lu Sisi struggling in the latrine. For a moment, they looked at each other, not daring to go forward.
