More than two months after this incident, one day Niu Shengyun went to the educated youth site to organize a meeting for them.
After the meeting, Niu Shengyun asked her to stay.
She was afraid and looked at the other educated youth with fear and expectation in her eyes, but everyone left indifferently.
At that moment, her already cold heart seemed to be frozen, stiff and numb.
She shouldn't expect anything from anyone!
She took out the dagger from her bag, preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace!
Rather than living in such darkness, it is better to end it.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone despised and bullied her, and she never dared to tell her mother that she regretted coming into this world.
To her, life is nothing but endless suffering and humiliation. There is no sunshine or hope in her life!
Niu Shengyun looked at her holding the dagger and smiled sarcastically, "Wen Zhiqing, what are you doing? I just want to say a few words to you."
Wen Qiuning gripped the dagger tightly and looked at him fiercely.
Niu Shengyun sat on the stool, very calm, "Wen Zhiqing, why are you doing this?"
"Look, you're hungry, cold, and sleepy right now, and even these educated youth are staying away from you. What are you trying to achieve?"
"You're an educated person who can use your brain. You work so hard all day to earn those few work points, but it's just a matter of a word from me."
It seems that the luck of the Ox is not hard, so it is better to use soft methods.
Wen Qiuning remained unmoved and still held the dagger tightly.
Niu Shengyun continued, "Just like last time, I received the notification right after you reported the case to the police station. Do you think you can beat me here?"
No wonder the scene was cleaned up, no wonder the two were not panicked at all, and no wonder the police refused to check Niu Shengyun's body. It turned out that they had colluded in advance.
"I'll tell you something, if you follow me, I'll give you thirty yuan a month for your daily farm work. Just a token of my appreciation."
"Learn from Zhang Yuli and Xu Yue. They are smarter than you. Look at their current lives, and then look at yours."
Wen Qiuning was shocked.
Xu Yue came to the village two years before her, and Zhang Yuli came to the village a year before her. Both of them were considered beautiful among the female educated youth.
No wonder, the two of them didn't do much farm work on weekdays and always dressed up fancy. It turned out that they had been hooking up with Niu Shengyun for a long time.
However, Wen Qiuning was certain of one thing, that is, Niu Shengyun must have embezzled collective assets.
As a team leader, he only earns more than ten yuan a month, which is barely enough to support his family.
But his two sons and three daughters were all fat, and he had enough money to support two educated youth.
Niu Shengyun stood up and walked out. When he passed by Wen Qiuning, he lowered his voice and said, "Think about it carefully, while I still cherish you."
Wen Qiuning naturally would not consider it, and she had never told anyone about Zhang Yuli and Xu Yue.
Some time later, in order to show his sincerity, Niu Shengyun secretly stuffed two yuan into her bag, and Wen Qiuning threw it to her on the spot.
Niu Shengyun thought she thought it was too little, so a few days later, he stuffed a big unity note in her hand, but she still threw it back to him.
But there were so many gossipy women in the village that Niu Shengyun’s wife soon found out about it.
Niu Shengyun’s wife ran to the educated youth site, slapped her twice, and called her cheap and shameless!
She wanted to fight back, but was held back by the women watching. Some of them even took the opportunity to attack her again.
That day, her face was swollen from being beaten, and her body was covered with bruises from being pinched.
All the educated youth just looked on indifferently, and no one stepped forward to help her.
Maybe it was because Niu Shengyun’s wife was not satisfied with him last time and she was venting her anger. A few days later, Wen Qiuning met her again while working in the fields.
Niu Shengyun's wife and other women pinned him down in the field and beat him severely.
This time, Wen Qiuning was badly beaten and lay in the field, unable to get up, but no one helped her.
It was unknown how long it took before she finally got up with difficulty and walked back to the educated youth point in a daze.
People in this world are ridiculous!
It was clearly Niu Shengyun's fault, why were all people blaming her and beating her?
Just like her mother, could her mother give birth to her alone?
It was clearly two people who made the mistake, so why let her mother bear all the blame alone?
Also, did she want to come into this world?
No! But why did everyone scold and insult her?
This time, she didn't call the police.
She understood that Niu Shengyun had absolute power in the village, and as long as she lived here, she would have to live under this shadow.
Wen Qiuning lived like a walking corpse.
Maybe Niu Shengyun didn't get her answer and wanted to take more severe revenge, or maybe Niu Shengyun's wife was making a big fuss.
Not long after, Wen Qiuning was assigned to guard the mountains.
The forest is very large, covering hundreds of acres. Normally, such a forest would require five or six men to guard it, but the village let her, a woman, guard it alone.
It's impossible not to be afraid.
As soon as the sun sets, the forest becomes completely dark, pitch black, which makes people feel depressed and panic.
When the mountain wind blew, the whole forest let out a terrifying cry, as if countless ghosts and monsters were snarling around, ready to swallow people.
At the same time, Wen Qiuning was also grateful for this forest. It was because of this forest that she had the opportunity later.
Every day, as soon as the sun sets, Wen Qiuning locks himself in the hut, locks the doors and windows tightly, and does not go out until dawn the next day.
She had nothing to do alone, and it was also a way to distract herself and resist the fear.
Every night, she lit a kerosene lamp to read and study.
In this forest, she was forgotten by the world, living a lonely and ambitious life with trees as her companions and birds as her friends.
In the morning, she reads English and textbooks; at noon, she studies mathematics and politics; in the evening, she reads books and newspapers.
Occasionally, when I am in a good mood, I will go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. If I am lucky, I will find a few pheasant eggs.
She went down the mountain once a month to attend classes at the educated youth training center and receive letters from her mother.
More than a year passed, and it was October 1977.
That day, she went to the educated youth site to study and saw that everyone's faces were full of smiles, no longer as lifeless as before.
She didn't ask them what happened?
Over the past year or so, she seemed to have cut off contact with the world except for her mother.
These educated youth had already excluded her.
Niu Shengyun organized a meeting to study as usual.
At the meeting, Wen Qiuning learned an exciting piece of news: the country has resumed the college entrance examination!
She couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. It was as if all the blood in her body was boiling. Her nose was sore with excitement and tears were streaming down her face.
But in less than two minutes, Niu Shengyun's next words completely extinguished her enthusiasm!
