Chapter 357 Undercurrent (1)
The production team in the village is divided into two parts.
Some of them were educated youth who went to the countryside to do ordinary labor and farm work.
Another group of people accept transformation for some reasons.
Those who are being reformed often have to bear the hardest and dirtiest labor.
For example: picking up dung.
In the 1970s, national industrialization had not yet taken shape and the production of chemical fertilizers was pitifully small, so the best fertilizer for the fields was still dung.
It's a very hot day.
The smell of shit got worse.
Just smelling it from a distance is unbearable.
Not to mention those who are carrying shit.
Even though they covered their noses with thick cloth, the stench still kept penetrating into their noses.
They were carrying shoulder poles and wearing dark, dirty clothes.
I was smelling the stench and sweating profusely, but I couldn't stop to rest.
As long as they dare to slack off, it will be noted in the little notebook, and the day when they can finish their reform will be far away.
So even though the stench made me dizzy, I had to persevere.
In addition to the hard work itself, what makes these people feel even more uneasy is the gazes of the people around them.
Those contemptuous and mocking words.
"I don't know how much you stink, why don't you move faster!"
"It stinks, it stinks, hurry up and move away!"
"Don't go this way if you want to pick up the big shit. There are so many people here, and there are children. It's really worrying... Sister Rou, stay away, be careful not to get hit!"
Among the team picking up dung, there was a woman who was filthy all over.
Her hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and the color of her clothes could not be seen. Even her exposed arms were covered with black stains, as if she had not showered for ten days or half a month.
She was walking with her head down, and suddenly she seemed to hear a sound.
He raised his head suddenly.
She looked at the seven or eight women standing together nearby.
In the middle of the crowd, she saw the face that she was most familiar with!
It’s Jiang Rou!
He is the culprit who caused her to become this half-human, half-ghost appearance!
Hatred and jealousy instantly filled her eyes.
She just took one look and couldn't look away.
But behind her, there came a voice of urging.
"Xu Chunxiang, hurry up! Are you trying to slack off again? If you can't finish before dark, I'll complain to the captain! Don't even think about getting us into trouble again!"
The man not only urged her, but also kicked Xu Chunxiang from behind.
Xu Chunxiang staggered suddenly.
The shoulder pole she was carrying shook and almost splashed out and got on her body.
Xu Chunxiang gritted her teeth and tried hard to keep calm.
She didn't even have the energy to turn around and argue with the people behind her. She had to carry the heavy burden and keep moving forward.
This little episode did not attract anyone's attention.
Because even if they heard the name, they couldn't believe that this dirty woman was the once beautiful village girl - Xu Chunhua.
Half a year ago.
What Xu Chunhua is most proud of is her beautiful face.
All the young people in the village liked her. Even the village chief's son wanted to marry her.
But how could she be so beautiful and be trapped on a small island?
Xu Chunhua's desires could never be satisfied.
So she set her sights on Zhou Chongshan, thinking of becoming the head of the group's wife, having the happiest and most beautiful future, and being able to leave the island in the future.
All this was developing step by step.
As long as there is enough time, it will not be a problem to make Zhou Chongshan like her.
But that damn woman showed up!
It’s the capitalist lady named Jiang Rou!
Xu Chunhua's dream was shattered...
Her mother took the blame for her and sent her to the public security bureau.
She herself was subjected to the most severe labor reform punishment.
Some time ago, Xu Chunhua was exiled to another island, where her daily duties included collecting manure and reclaiming land, which were the most tiring and dirtiest jobs.
It is like crying to the heavens and the earth for help but no one responds.
Xu Chunhua has lived for twenty years and has never been so cruel.
I almost wanted to commit suicide.
But how could someone like her really want to die?
She hasn't taken revenge on Jiang Rou yet!
I haven’t even seen Jiang Rou’s miserable end yet. She absolutely cannot die like this!
Hatred became Xu Chunhua's motivation to live.
She gritted her teeth and managed to hold on.
She also used every possible means and finally got in touch with the son of the village chief, trying her best to please the man whom she once looked down upon.
Finally...
She is finally back!
Xu Chunhua finally returned to the island, but her labor reform did not stop.
She still has to do the most tiring and dirty work.
I didn't even have time to be lazy and ask about Jiang Rou's recent situation.
According to Xu Chunhua's guess, she was just a capitalist lady from the city and would definitely not be able to adapt to the hard life. She would definitely be disliked by Zhou Chongshan and others.
Jiang Rou's situation will definitely not be good!
However.
That horrified glance just now.
Others didn't know Jiang Rou, but Xu Chunhua could tell at a glance.
That woman was actually surrounded by so many people and was in the middle!
Others were polite and protective when speaking to her.
How is that possible!
This can't be possible!
Are those military wives so blind that they can't see the vicious heart of this woman?
Xu Chunhua gritted her teeth, unwilling to believe what she had seen with her own eyes.
When they got to the field where they were going to fertilize.
Xu Chunhua ignored the shouts of her other companions, threw away her carrying pole, and went to look for her once familiar neighbors, the aunties in the village.
However.
What Xu Chunhua heard made her even more furious.
"Comrade Jiang? Which Comrade Jiang... Are you talking about Captain Zhou's lover? Xu Chunhua, you are not still dreaming of becoming your captain's wife? I think you haven't suffered enough!"
"Look at what you look like now, and then look at what Comrade Jiang looks like! You are completely different. You are not even as good as a strand of her hair."
"Xu Chunhua, be an honest person, you know what? Comrade Jiang and Captain Zhou have a good relationship. Not only in the military camp, but even in our village, everyone knows about it."
"You can't afford to offend Comrade Jiang... She is now helping Sister Hong and Comrade Lin. I heard that she will be the director of the Women's Department in the future. She will be a high-ranking official in the future!"
"You know Wang Dazhu's family, right? He is the richest and most powerful Wang Dazhu in our village. Two months ago, Wang Fugui, the only son of Wang Dazhu's family, beat up Comrade Jiang's child. You didn't see how scared Wang Dazhu was! He went to apologize that night with a chicken in his hand!"
"I can't even afford to offend Wang Dazhu, let alone a little girl."
"Chunhua, I have watched you grow up. You should reform yourself, be a good person, and find a man to marry. Then your life will be better in the future..."
"That's right, put away all your philandering thoughts. Look at yourself now. I don't know if there will be any man who will be attracted to you..."
