Seeing that Shen Hongying was still hesitating, Song Shishi spoke again: “You only have one life, are you willing to take a gamble?”
Shen Hongying stared at her in silence for a long time, until there was a noise outside the courtyard, then she hurriedly said: "I promised this, I hope you don't break your promise."
"Of course!" Song Shishi responded with a smile.
Hearing the noise outside, Shen Hongying's face changed, and she stood up and said, "They should be back, you should leave quickly."
Song Shishi didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Shanhe, so she nodded, stood up, and followed Shen Hongying out.
When she walked out of the courtyard, she passed by Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe's gaze lingered on Song Shishi wildly.
Shen Hongying stood aside, looking at Chen Shanhe with disgust in her eyes.
If the previous incident had not been such a big deal and she had not been trapped here with no way out, she would never have chosen to marry Chen Shanhe.
...
...
Suppressing the nausea in her heart, Shen Hongying said coldly: "Let's eat."
Chen Shanhe retracted his gaze and took a few quick steps to catch up with Shen Hongying. "That was Song Zhiqing just now, right? Why did she come to our house?"
"She asked me to borrow something, but I didn't." After saying that, Shen Hongying raised her hand and grabbed Chen Shanhe's ear, "You don't have any other thoughts about Song Zhiqing, do you?"
During this period, Chen Shanhe was also scared by Shen Hongying. How could he dare to admit his little thoughts? He quickly denied it and said, "No, I just asked, I didn't mean anything else. You misunderstood, misunderstood."
Shen Hongying snorted coldly and let go of Chen Shanhe.
In fact, she knew in her heart that she could not control the man she was about to marry.
Now she only hopes that she can live a better life and fill the pain in her heart.
A few days later, Shen Hongying was rubbing corn kernels with other people in the threshing field.
She glanced at Jiang Cuihua not far away, and then started chatting with the aunt next to her.
"Aunt, I heard that there are people who do the same work as us, but they always earn about the same work points as men. I don't know if this is true."
When the aunt heard this, she was shocked and exclaimed, "What?" Realizing that her voice was a little too loud, she lowered her voice and asked, "Who told you that?"
"I know about this." Hearing the conversation, the aunt wearing a black top came over and said, "Last time my Dajun went to get farm tools, he saw that the educated youth Jiang only handed in a little pig grass, but..."
At this point, the aunt glanced at Zhou Xingxue who was inspecting, then lowered her voice and continued, "But the girl from the Zhou family was given ten points."
"What?"
The aunties who were rubbing corn kernels together and a few old educated youth heard it.
Widow Wang was a hot-tempered woman. She threw the corn in her hand to the ground, stood up, and muttered, "I am a widow raising two children. For a bite of food, even my five-year-old Erwa has to earn work points by picking grass for pigs.
I work hard all day and only earn 8 work points at most. Why can she earn so much just by cutting grass for pigs? ”
After saying that, Widow Wang turned around and walked towards Zhou Xingxue who was walking towards her.
Coincidentally, Zhou Xingxue was registering work points for Jiang Cuihua.
The pig feed didn't even fill half of the basket.
But Zhou Xingxue just glanced at it casually and wrote a 10 in the scorebook.
Widow Wang saw all of this.
The anger is like a burning flame, burning more and more fiercely.
With a crisp "pop" sound, the threshing ground suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Xingxue covered her red and swollen cheek and stared at Widow Wang in disbelief.
"Wang Xiulan, what are you crazy about?"
Her face, which had just recovered two days ago, was swollen again.
"I'm crazy? Today I'll let you know what madness is."
Widow Wang went over and grabbed Zhou Xingxue's hair, forcing her to lean back.
Then Widow Wang took a few quick steps, and Zhou Xingxue immediately fell on her back on the ground.
"ah……"
The dull sound of the fall made everyone present feel their hearts tremble.
Widow Wang was not stupid. While Zhou Xingxue and the others were still not able to react, she started to strangle Zhou Xingxue.
She knew best where it hurt the most on a woman's body, but it was not convenient for her to show the wound to others.
Zhou Xingxue screamed, but no matter how she struggled, she could not escape from Widow Wang.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted to Widow Wang, "Widow Wang, stop making trouble. The captain is here. If you have anything to say, tell him."
Upon hearing this, Widow Wang paused what she was doing and looked up.
They saw Zhou Jianguo pushing through the crowd and heading towards them.
A calculating look flashed across her eyes, and she immediately let go of Zhou Xingxue, sat down on the ground beside her, slapped the ground and started howling.
"Oh... I can't live like this anymore."
"Some people take advantage of their status and completely ignore those of us who work hard. They abuse their power for personal gain every day. How can we live like this..."
Widow Wang was also a powerful person. I didn’t know if she was sincere or just acting, but her tears came without warning.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jianguo walked to Zhou Xingxue, helped her up, and asked Widow Wang with a frown.
"Captain Zhou, you really have a good daughter. She took advantage of her position to abuse her power for personal gain and kept unfair accounts. We worked hard for a year and now rely on these work points to make a living."
Widow Wang spoke directly, not giving Zhou Jianguo a chance to respond, and continued, "We work hard all day and earn eight work points at most. My second child cuts pig grass all day, and the pig grass piles on the ground, taller than his body, but at most he only gets three work points. Why does Jiang Zhiqing only cut less than half a basket of pig grass, but Zhou Xingxue gives her ten work points?"
Zhou Xingxue's eyes flashed with panic, and she gritted her teeth to defend herself: "Wang Xiulan, stop slandering me. I have always been following the rules to keep score. When did I ever abuse my power for personal gain?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could I have wronged you?" Widow Wang wiped her tears and roared viciously.
"What evidence do you have?"
Zhou Xingxue stiffened his neck and refused to admit it easily.
