Gao Meihua yelled, "Xia Yunxuan, Yunrou, after all, it's your sister who said a few words to you, so what? You actually dared to hit her, you are such an ungrateful person. We raised you up after all, and this is how you repay us."
Xia Yunxuan scratched her ears and said, "Ms. Gao Meihua, can you please lower your voice a little? My ears have been deafened by you. I am not deaf, so I can hear you."
There were a few gossipy old ladies nearby who usually liked to gossip about other people. They said, "That's right, Yun girl, you are really filial but you will be struck by lightning. People have raised you to this age, and you dare to break off the engagement. You are the first one in our village to set a precedent."
"Now that you are alone, no one will dare to marry you. Since ancient times, there has been no one to support you. Even if someone wants to marry you, it is probably the kind of old widower who can't find a wife."
"As women, we have to be obedient and sensible. We have to listen to our parents at our parents' home, and of course, we have to listen to our parents-in-law and husbands at our husband's home. If you hit people at every turn, you will probably be alone until you grow old."
"A woman like you would be raped in ancient times. How cruel would it be to rape even your own mother?"
Gao Meihua, who was standing by, was very happy when she heard what the old women said. This damn girl actually dared to treat them like this. She wanted to let her know that she would not be able to live without them.
But she knew that the old women in the village loved to gossip and would drown her with a mouthful of spit. The matter of respecting the elderly would be spread everywhere, and others didn't know that Xia Yunxuan was her biological daughter.
After raising her to this age, she should repay them. How could such a good thing happen in the world? If they had raised Xia Yunxuan, she would have died long ago.
Xia Yunxuan said anxiously and slowly, "You old ladies are really the same. You like to stare at other people's affairs every day. What does it have to do with you if I break up an engagement or someone marries me? I use your family's money, but you really don't care about it?"
"I'm not related to you. Did they beat me to death in that house? If you think this is a good life for you, I can let you experience what my life was like before."
"You don't need to thank me. After all, I'm a good person. You guys are so vicious. I remember everything they did to me when I was little. I promise I won't let you down in the same way."
"I'll let you experience winter temperatures of minus dozens of degrees, with everything frozen and covered in frostbite. You have to wash your family's clothes in the river, and you have to use hot water. You also have to eat without even drinking rice soup."
"Every day I've been scolding you, calling you a loser and a jinx. Whenever someone is happy, you're their punching bag. The house you live in is just a dark, small, cluttered room with only mice living in it. Since you think this is so good, I promise to let you experience it and make it unforgettable for the rest of your life."
"You know the situation, but you keep talking nonsense when there is nothing to do. It shows how stupid you are. You are still here talking nonsense and spreading old ideas. You think your life is too comfortable, right? Do you really know what the thing on your neck is for?"
"Do you know that this is a new era? Women are no longer weaker than men, but now they hold up half the sky. Don't you know that women only know how to serve others when they go out of the door?"
"I think you are tired of living and you dare to spread feudal dregs here. At this time, the captain shouted, you old women are really stupid. You work hard every day and don't mind other people's business. You are the first to gossip. If anyone dares to do this again, I will pick a big shit for him for a year."
"The girl's divorce was agreed upon by several cadres in our village. If anyone dares to bring this up again, don't blame me for punishing you."
"Really? It seems like you guys are too idle. I didn't assign you enough work. You wasted so much of my time. If anyone dares to nag me again, I'll seal your mouth with a seal."
The team leader continued, "Okay, the farm tool manager in the team is Xia Yunxuan. No one can bring this up again. Also, Xia Yunxuan wants to build a house, and needs to find a few people in the village to help. The daily meal is 70 cents. Those who are good at working can come to me to sign up."
Someone asked, "Will Captain Yun really take out the money? Is it really 70 cents a day? Will we get paid for the work we do?"
Xia Yunxuan said at this time, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I will leave the money with the team leader. Every day after work, you can go to the team leader to collect the money."
"You will definitely not be paid less, but you must work hard and not be cunning. You must do things according to my requirements. Someone said, Yun girl, we are all strong men in the village, don't worry, we will definitely build your house beautifully."
The captain said, "Lao Zhang, please get on the bullock cart and follow me. We are going to pick up the educated youth and take Mrs. Li to the hospital for a checkup." Lao Zhang said, "Okay, captain."
"Today your task is for women to turn over the sweet potato vines and weed, while men will do the heavier work. Carry water and manure, and remove the stones in the ground."
"There are still more men who need to open up some wasteland. If so many educated youth come now, there will probably be enough food. Someone said in a convinced tone, "Captain, since there are so many educated youth coming, of course we should let them open up wasteland together. Are we just raising them for nothing?"
The team leader said, "Since you are so stubborn about the arrangement, why don't you be the team leader? The key is that they were picked up today, have a day off tomorrow, and will start work the day after tomorrow. How can I let them come to open up the wasteland? Is this my first day in the village?"
The man had no choice but to shut up. Did he think that it was so tiring to open up wasteland? Who wants to go? Those educated youths can do the work and let them do it. Who would feel comfortable doing it?
The captain said, "This is our mission today. Go get your farm tools and get to work. I won't allow anyone to slack off. Recorder, keep an eye on them for me. If anyone slacks off, their work will be deducted."
Reporter Du Xiaohua said, "Okay, Captain, I got it. I promise to keep an eye on them for you. The captain nodded and took Old Zhang and Mrs. Li to the town."
Seeing the captain leave, those people had no choice but to go get farm tools and work. Today was Xia Yunxuan's first day distributing farm tools, and she did it in a very professional manner. Hu Guiqin said, "Girl Yun, considering that you write so beautifully, it seems that you still need to go to school."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, auntie. This is your fault. I gave Hu Guiqin a look that said you understand."
