It was the sisters' turn to clean the classroom that day. After cleaning, Tang Cuifeng said to Cuilan.
"Wait here for me a moment, I'm going to take out the trash!"
The school's garbage is piled up in a large pool next to the playground toilets, which is quite far away and takes seven or eight minutes to walk back and forth.
It was already past 5 p.m., and most of the students had left the school, leaving only the older students and those on duty.
Cuifeng took out the trash and walked towards the classroom. From afar, she could hear Cuilan shouting loudly from inside the classroom.
Cui Feng's expression changed, and she ran towards the classroom. When she arrived, she saw several repulsive girls grabbing and pulling Cui Lan's hair and clothes. They even took her schoolbag out of the desk drawer and dumped it all over the floor. The girls were saying something vulgar.
Cui Feng looked closely, grabbed the trash can in her hand, and threw it at the face of the tall girl in the lead.
"You little brat, Cai Miaomiao, how dare you bully my sister!"
She spoke up too early, and Cai Miaomiao dodged it. When she turned her head and saw Cuifeng, she was stunned at first, and then subconsciously called out.
"Tang the Cripple??? Didn't you go to work?"
Cui Feng strode forward, grabbed Cai Miaomiao's hair, and slapped her face repeatedly, even kicking her in the stomach with her not-so-clever feet.
As she fell in pain, the three girls who were standing there dumbfounded saw that something was wrong and were about to run away when Cuifeng grabbed one of them with each hand, and the last one took the opportunity to run away.
Cui Feng gritted her teeth, turned her head, and roared at Cui Lan, who was still crying.
"What are you crying for? If you're being bullied, what's the use of crying if you don't know how to fight back?"
"Go get the other one back for me, or you're not eating dinner tonight!"
After saying that, he kicked Cuilan in the backside: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!"
Cuilan rubbed her red, tear-filled eyes. "Seventh Sister, I don't dare! I can't beat them!"
Cui Feng took a deep breath, turned her head, and forcefully pulled at the hair of the two items in her hands.
"Oh, so you're all acquaintances? Didn't you all quit school? What are you all doing at our school?"
These girls were from the town, about the same age as Cuifeng and Cuilan. However, they were not good students. Their families paid for them to come to school, but they bullied people everywhere. In the end, they were forced to drop out of school. There were four of them.
Cai Miaomiao is the oldest, already eighteen this year. The other three are Hou Yanyan, seventeen; Zhao Xiaohua, fifteen; and Niu Aicao, thirteen.
The one running is the cow that loves to eat grass.
"Sister, they came to ask me for money again, saying they didn't have any and wanted to borrow some. When I refused, they beat me up."
Seeing Cuilan still crying beside her, Cuifeng was furious: "So, after I dropped out of school, they came to see you all the time?"
Cuilan avoided eye contact, kept her head down and didn't speak. Taking advantage of Cuifeng's inability to free her hands, Cai Miaomiao crawled on the ground and tried to run away. Cuifeng noticed this, kicked the two things in her hands aside, grabbed a stool and threw it at Cai Miaomiao who was crawling on the ground.
The brutality of the blow shocked Hou Yanyan and Zhao Xiaohua. Cai Miaomiao, unable to dodge in time, was hit on the buttocks and cried out in pain.
"Tang the Cripple, are you even human? How could you be so ruthless?"
"You should be glad I didn't hit your head, Cai Miaomiao. You really are a leopard that can't change its spots. You used to bully my sister, and after I beat you up a few times, I thought you would behave yourself. I never expected that you would come here to extort my sister while I was away from school?"
I first heard the word "extortion" from Xiao Jiu. She often talked to them about school, and the topic she mentioned most often was school bullying.
Ironically, the women in front of them had already been expelled from school.
They had obviously found out beforehand, otherwise how would they have known that Cuilan was cleaning here?
They actually dare to come looking for us?
If this were Deng Xiaoping from the past in Nanwa Village, she might have been just like the cowardly Tang Bamei, covering her head and letting people beat her without daring to fight back.
If she and Lao Ba had been more assertive in their previous home, they wouldn't have ended up in such dire straits as to be crippled and visually impaired.
When did she start to change?
After arriving in Xihe Village, in order to avoid being discovered by their original families, they only dared to work in the Tang and Tao families every day.
Because they were unfamiliar with everyone and had disabilities, they were initially self-conscious, timid, and cautious in everything they did.
They were afraid of doing something wrong and being kicked out again.
Although the older sisters were very kind to them, they didn't know Xiao Jiu's identity at the time and were even jealous of her for a while.
Later, when the production team needed manpower, they gradually started working in shifts in the fields.
When they were divided into groups, the older women in one of the teams always bullied them because they weren't native to the village, always saying they were outsiders.
When it comes to work, they always like to leave the difficult and hard tasks to the two sisters. They tried to protest and even approached the team leader and captain.
When the older women try to shirk their responsibilities, these officials simply turn a blind eye and wave them back to work.
"Young people, they can do a little more work. We can let them do more next time!"
Trying to smooth things over only leads to being bullied more and more.
When the fourth sister found out, she immediately used force to pin those troublemakers to the ground and beat them up.
Of course, her fourth sister wasn't simple-minded either. She knew to provoke the other party first, forcing them to make the first move, and then beat them up with a legitimate reason. It was from that time that they realized how strong Tang Cuihong was!
Later on, surprisingly, no one bullied them anymore.
The fourth sister used her own experience to tell them: "If you don't want to be bullied, you have to stand up for yourself first."
It was this sentence that made Tang Cuifeng realize for the first time that she had wasted the previous years of her life.
I was used to being bullied since I was a child, and I thought that being bullied was the norm in life. I never expected that it would be so satisfying to fight back.
So she started to stand up for herself, and when she encountered injustice, she would immediately jump out to express her dissatisfaction.
With so much work to do in the production team, each task required different groups and different people to work with.
When Fourth Sister was around, they didn't dare to do anything to her. But when Fourth Sister wasn't around, there were always people who wanted to take revenge and secretly deal with her and Cuilan.
Even behind their backs, others would cover for them, throwing clods of dirt at them, and kicking them into ditches from behind.
Then everyone burst into laughter. You turn around and see that there's no one there where you were standing.
Everyone was smiling at them with ill intent, and everyone seemed suspicious, but unless you caught them red-handed, there was no way to do anything about it.
What did she do at that time?
Haha, thinking about it now, I feel that this was the highlight of her life that she will always be remembered for.
