Shen Qingran's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this.
yes!
These are true family members!
Chen Tang also has a stepmother; do those count?
They're just using the guise of family to leech off me.
I will no longer be morally blackmailed.
In my past life, I felt I should be a sensible and obedient daughter!
But what if these people don't deserve it!
Not everyone is worthy of being your parent.
Not everyone deserves your kindness!
It's never wrong to think more about yourself!
Afterwards, Shen Qingran comforted Zhang Ma with a smile over the phone.
He instructed Zhang Ma to take good care of the old lady.
That's when he finally hung up the phone.
Shen Qingran looked at the main road at the entrance. There was a road leading from the military dependents' compound to the entrance, with plane trees planted on both sides.
At this time of year, the branches and leaves are lush and green, and a gentle breeze rustles through them.
Especially in the morning, the sunlight filters through the leaves, dappling the ground.
They formed various shapes on the ground.
So beautiful!
Shen Qingran mischievously looked at her reflection on the ground and skipped along the road from time to time.
...
Huang Danjiao and the others were called out by Sister Sun to gather before 7 o'clock.
I was exhausted last night and didn't get a good rest. Now, I'm the kind of person who usually sleeps until noon, but I was woken up from my bed.
"No, I'm just so sleepy!"
Huang Danjiao yawned, as did Cun Tou and Wang Tingting.
Jia Mei scoffed, "Hmph! Don't pretend to be a big city person. Everyone who comes here has been sent to the countryside for training!"
"Go back to being a pampered young lady if you want!"
These words immediately enraged Huang Danjiao.
The other three female educated youths had gone to see a doctor and only returned from town this morning.
Last night, because of a fight with this woman, the three of us ended up sleeping in the cowshed.
I slept so much that my back and waist ached.
Seeing that the group was about to start arguing, Sister Sun quickly intervened.
At this moment, Captain Cui arrived with several other male educated youths.
Wu Zhongzhi and Dong Yuan also looked haggard.
The male educated youth's area was practically a pig cage.
More than a dozen male educated youths slept on a large kang (heated brick bed).
The smell of stinky feet, the stench of sweat, and the snoring kept everyone from getting a good night's sleep!
This is absolutely amazing!
The two men, with dark circles under their eyes, listened to Captain Cui's reprimand.
Captain Cui: "Everyone can exchange work points for food every month!"
"Each person can have a 4:6 ratio of refined grains to coarse grains per month!"
"Generally speaking, each person needs at least six work points per day to exchange for food!"
"Each person can only earn a maximum of ten work points per day!"
The other educated youths didn't react much, but Huang Danjiao and a few others were in an uproar.
The so-called heavy work is all about blasting stones or moving bricks!
Light work included feeding pigs and cutting pig feed.
None of these are easy jobs!
Seeing Huang Danjiao's expression, Captain Cui thought to himself that this troublemaker was definitely up to something again!
Captain Cui: "Let me tell you guys, if some of you can't do it, you'd better find a way to get things done through your families!"
"I don't support idlers, and I certainly don't keep rich people around!"
"Don't even think about taking shortcuts, do all the work yourself!"
Huang Danjiao saw Captain Cui looking at her, gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Huang Danjiao remembered that the female educated youth had said they went to town because they were sick.
With a quick glance, Huang Danjiao hatched a plan.
It was already evening. Shen Qingran went home to tidy up and waited for her comrades from Wanning to arrive. (This chapter has been read. Please click the next chapter to continue reading!)
