Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 398: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5

Comrade Zhang Yuhua not only treated herself as a man, she also raised her daughter as a boy.

The daughters in the family did not have to work in the fields, because other boys were generally unwilling to do so. However, the daughters must not lose in a fight with others, and they were not allowed to score lower than others in exams. These were the concepts that Comrade Zhang Yuhua had always adhered to.

"On the first day of school, your eldest sister pushed Jiantao from next door into the gutter. She ran back clean and ate a bowl of rice without changing her expression. Then Qiaoxiu from next door brought Jiantao, whose pants were dripping with mud, to my house. I laughed and thought it was just a fight between children. Besides, my Xiaojun is half a year younger than Jiantao-----"

"When your eldest sister was in the fourth grade, she was the leader of the children in the school. During the busy farming season, she would always bring a group of young boys to my field to help pick up wheat ears. She picked up all the wheat ears from your master Yintang's field into my basket at a speed as fast as a swarm of locusts passing through a landmass. ---"

"Your eldest sister is very smart in school. The teachers like her very much. She always attends your second sister's parent-teacher conferences."

The eldest sister is two years older than the second sister. Can she also serve as a parent and attend a parent-teacher meeting?

"Among so many children in the village, only your elder sister and Yuping were admitted to high school. The rest of the fools can only envy them! Humph-----"

With Comrade Zhang Yuhua's boasting, Gu Li regarded her elder sister Gu Jun as her idol and always tried to be like her.

Gradually, I became famous among the kids. If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. If someone offends me, I will fight him to the death.

After beating boys older than her until they cried several times, no one dared to offend her anymore.

But as Gu Li grew up, she became more and more confused.

Is Gu Jun, who is only 1.56 meters tall and can’t even open a soda bottle cap, really the omnipotent big sister that Comrade Zhang Yuhua talks about?

Maybe it was because Gu Li was still young when her elder sister was at her peak, so she had no impression of the mighty and domineering Gu Jun mentioned by Comrade Zhang Yuhua.

Her older sister was admitted to high school but dropped out after only one semester and went home.

Because high school is not compulsory education, the tuition is much higher than elementary and junior high school. There are many children in the family and food and clothing are both problems. So, my eldest sister took the initiative to drop out of school and went to the city to work as a salesperson.

Gu Li's second sister is Gu Gui, who is a failure under Comrade Zhang Yuhua's education.

Gu Gui is a soft and introverted person who speaks little and is easily bullied. She is simply the negative example of Comrade Zhang Yuhua's education, and she grew up in the exact opposite direction of Zhang Yuhua's education.

More than half of the fights Gu Jun had during his student days were over this second sister.

Gu Gui's grades were not as good as her elder sister's, so she failed to get into high school. After graduating from junior high school, she was arranged by Comrade Zhang Yuhua to apprentice to a master and learn to be a tailor without even a struggle.

From then on, there were four people in the Gu family earning money, leaving only the third sister Gu Li as the idler.

Comrade Zhang Yuhua is now working hard to save money in order to be the first in the village to build a new house.

So, even at this late hour, Comrade Zhang Yuhua was still busy working in the fields, wanting to finish the work quickly and go back to the brick factory early to move bricks and earn wages.

In the rural nights of this era, there is no haze, and the sky is dotted with stars. Even without lights, the silver moon alone can illuminate the crisscrossing ridges and canals across the land.

Gu Li walked in the open fields with an unobstructed view.

There was a flashlight flickering at the entrance of the village. I didn't know whose child stole the flashlight to play with it, but Gu Li didn't care.

But before she had taken a few steps, there was a loud shouting at the entrance of the village.

Gu Li, whose stomach was growling with hunger, stood there hesitating for a long time. Finally, curiosity took over briefly, and she ran towards the place where more and more people were gathering.

Comrade Zhang Yuhua said that it doesn’t matter if you skip a meal, you can eat it back the next time. Just like it doesn’t matter how hard or tired you are, you can just have a good sleep and you will be full of energy the next day.

But if you don't go and see this excitement now, you will only be able to hear it from other people tomorrow, and maybe it will be an exaggerated version.

As we got closer, the yelling and cursing that belonged only to Yinfeng's mother became clearer and clearer.

"You little bastard who has done so much harm to others, you are a rolling knife. How come you didn't die? Are you trying to slap me in the face?"

"You little beast, who are you pretending to be so pitiful for? I am your biological mother, isn't it natural for me to beat you?"

"I provide you with food and drink, but look at how you repay me. I asked you to do some work at home, but you ran out to fool around in the blink of an eye. With the same amount of money to go to school, other people's children can always get 100 points in the exam, but what about you? I have never seen you get 100 points. You damned thing, why don't you just die? Why are you dragging me down!"

Gu Li, who always scored 100 points in the exams as Yinfeng's mother said, stopped dead in her tracks, fearing that Yinfeng's mother would find out about her existence and scold her even more harshly.

Gu Li stood at the outermost of the crowd, stopped Gu Jie who was running around, and asked, "What happened? Has Yin Feng been found?"

Gu Jie is Gu Min's younger brother. He whispered, "Gu Yinfeng was beaten so badly by her mother that she ran away from home and hid in the river. She was hiding there until she was discovered by Yu Bo's mother when she came to the river to wash dishes."

"What? Hiding in the river?"

"Yes, only the head is above the water, and everything below the neck is submerged in water. It's over there!" Gu Jie pointed at the wooden step extending out of the river and said, "Yu Bo's mother was so scared that she almost fainted."

Who wouldn’t be scared to death!

Boys aged eleven or twelve have little sympathy, and they have long been accustomed to the fact that girls in the family are supposed to work like slaves.

As he spoke, Gu Jie placed his hands on his chin and rolled his eyes, "There is a head floating on the dark water, with red eyes---"

Gu Li glared at him and raised her hand to hit the naughty boy on the head with a chestnut, but Gu Jie dodged like a monkey. Considering Gu Li's unbeatable record in the village, he did not dare to kick back like he did to his sister. He just turned his body and ran away.

Gu Li stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd.

The night at the end of October was different from the hot daytime. There was a cool breeze in the wind. Gu Yinfeng, who had been soaking in the water for an unknown period of time, squatted on the ground, hugged herself with her arms, and shivered.

There was a large wet area where she was squatting, and water was dripping from the corners of her clothes from time to time.

Her biological mother kept poking her on the back and scolding her.

Yinfeng's mother is a fierce woman. If anyone dares to talk back to her, she will beat Yinfeng and ask her if she wants to go home with someone else. She can't afford to support such an ungrateful person.

For a moment, everyone could only whisper about how Yinfeng's mother was a bad person, but no one could really make the decision for Yinfeng.

Who doesn’t have three or two children in their family? If you can’t even raise your own children, how can you bring one home?

"Hey, the guards are back, the guards are back." Someone ran over from the road, followed by a tricycle.

Yinfeng's old ox father came back on his tricycle.
