"Yueyue, I called home today and asked about my third cousin. Grandpa said he hasn't been found yet. I also asked what disease he had as a child. Grandpa said it was a heart disease that he had in his mother's womb."
Back in the bathroom, Chu Xun said as he was drawing water for a bath.
Li Xiyue was picking at the cooked sweet potatoes in front of the stove. When she heard this, a light bulb went off in her head.
Congenital heart disease?
Isn’t this exactly the same as Ye Tian?
No way?
"What's wrong?" Chu Xun asked when he saw that she looked unhappy.
Li Xiyue used tongs to pick out all the sweet potatoes, set them aside to cool, and dusted off her hands. "I thought of someone, Ye Tian from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. He had a heart disease from birth, and he said he was abandoned by his family as a child, then abducted by human traffickers and ended up in an orphanage."
"Ye Tian?" Chu Xun frowned. "I'll call home tomorrow and ask Yicheng to check and see if it's him."
After washing up, I blew out the lights and went to bed. The night gradually became quiet, and even the insects were tired of chirping and the sounds gradually stopped.
In the female dormitory of the educated youth center, there were two people tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
Xue Min couldn't stand the work in the pigpen and became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
Today she fell into pig manure and took several showers after coming back, but she still smelled bad.
She is not clean anymore, woo woo.
She is a good person, in her prime years. Is she going to waste her whole life on a pile of pig manure?
She was unwilling to accept this and didn't want to go on like this.
She's had enough!
Tian Lingling couldn't sleep either. She was worried about money. No matter what, she would not marry Wang Shigen, the old bachelor.
She has written a letter home, asking her to send her money, hoping that her family will receive the letter soon and rescue her from her suffering.
The two of them tossed and turned until the second half of the night before they fell asleep. Not long into their sleep, the wake-up call sounded, and they were forced to get up with difficulty and start their hard work life.
"Tian Zhiqing, you go to work in the pigpen today." Xu Dawei said to Tian Lingling after he assigned work to other people.
Zhou Yunxia wrote down Tian Lingling's name in the work points book.
Working in a pigpen? Wouldn't that make me stink like Xue Min?
"Go ahead." Seeing that she didn't move, Xu Dawei's tone became a little sharper. "You did something so immoral. The brigade was already showing mercy by not sending you to the farm right away. Are you still not happy to clean the pigsty?"
That night, Tian Lingling decided to pay compensation to Wang Shigen. One hundred yuan was not a small amount, so the team leader gave her a few days to raise the money.
After she has collected enough money to settle the matter with Wang Shigen, the brigade will hold another meeting to discuss her final punishment.
However, her behavior was so serious that even if she was not reported to the police and arrested, she would most likely be sent to a farm.
She should be thankful that she can still stay in the village. In a few days, she will not have such a good life.
Tian Lingling gritted her teeth and left reluctantly.
Xu Dawei snorted in disgust. If it weren't for her, his cousin wouldn't have to stay in the pigpen, and he wouldn't have been scolded by the team leader. It was all because of this shameless woman. He would not let her have an easy time.
"Engineer Zhou, keep an eye on her. If she doesn't behave properly, tell me and I'll punish her!"
"Yes, deputy captain." Zhou Yunxia couldn't ask for more.
If it weren't for Huang Xinrui, she wouldn't have gotten the position of timekeeper. She remembered Huang Xinrui's kindness in her heart. Tian Lingling harmed Huang Xinrui, so she naturally had to help Huang Xinrui vent her anger.
Tian Lingling, just wait for me.
"Oh, this damn leech." Wang Cuihua was weeding in the rice field when she felt her ankle itchy. She lifted her foot and saw a round leech. She pulled it out and was about to throw it away.
Lai Di, who was catching leeches nearby, quickly ran over and said, "Auntie, don't throw them away. Give them to me."
Wang Cuihua threw the leeches into the small bucket she handed over. Seeing the dense leeches inside, her scalp tingled. "You kid, don't you mind the leeches?"
"Thank you, auntie." Lai Di happily carried the bucket and went to other places to fish.
Wang Cuihua nudged the person next to her with her elbow and winked, "Hu Xiaoying, your girls have grown taller and fatter since they moved out. This is the first time I've seen them living better away from their parents than with them."
This is a clear example of her mistreating her child.
Hu Xiaoying's face turned pale. "It's none of your business!"
"Oh, you're still angry." Wang Cuihua was a shameless person. She didn't care at all what others said or thought of her. She pulled out the weeds from the mud and raised them secretly.
"Pandi and her girls are capable and have their own skills. They can weave baskets and even work with Dr. Li. They dig herbs and catch insects and can earn a lot of money. If it were me, I would never kick such a child out of the house."
"Some people are short-sighted and don't know how to behave. They deserve it!"
Hu Xiaoying was so angry that her nose was crooked. "Wang Cuihua, mind your own business. It's none of your business to meddle with my family's affairs."
"Tsk!" Wang Cuihua sneered, said nothing more, and buried her head in her work.
Hu Xiaoying turned her head to look at the ridge of the field not far away. A little girl was wearing half-new clothes and had two pigtails. She was talking and laughing with several children.
She had never seen this little girl so happy before when she was at home.
Although she was angry, she had to admit that Wang Cuihua was right. After the three dead girls left her, her life became better and better.
She gritted her teeth, a feeling of unwillingness rising in her heart.
"It stinks so much, I can't stand it." Tian Lingling clung to the pigpen and breathed in the fresh air outside in big gulps.
Xue Min leaned on the shovel and said with a smile: "We've only just started now."
Tian Lingling just arrived, but she has been working here for almost two months and she can't stand it anymore. What will she do in the future?
