Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

Third Aunt Gu continued: "Their brother-in-law wants to find a wife, and he wants to give her a gift of five hundred yuan."

When Mrs. Gu heard about the five hundred yuan, she smiled like a chrysanthemum: "How about it? Is she going to marry that stinky girl Gu Zhenzhu?"

Gu Zhenzhen is the only daughter of Gu Daniu, the boss of the Gu family. She also graduated from high school this year.

Gu Daniu's wife He Ling is quite tough. Many years ago, Gu Daniu was still working as a scalper at home. No one dared to marry He Ling because she was killing pigs at home.

Mrs. Gu coveted her dowry and married Gu Daniu. Who would have known that He Ling held on to her own money and refused to hand over any of her money as soon as she arrived. When she gave birth to a daughter, her body was injured and could not regenerate, and she was unwilling to support her. That brat from the third bedroom forcefully demanded to separate the family.

He Ling did not favor sons over daughters. She often said that daughters were much better than sons after being raised, so she named her daughters Pearl.

Gu Zhenzhen returned to Gujia Village after graduating from high school and is now helping with the work at home. Mrs. Gu is thinking of marrying her off. If she can get 500 yuan in exchange for it, it will be a profit.

Third Aunt Gu shook her head: "It's not Gu Zhenzhu. Our second uncle, Gu Lin, doesn't have a daughter in the city who is also eighteen years old?"

Old Mrs. Gu's face turned ugly when she thought of the girl who was shouting and shouting: "Why are you mentioning her? She has a job, how can she be willing to get married?"

"Oh, mother, you are her grandmother. If you accept the bride price and agree to her marriage, then my cousin will call a few young men to marry her together. Can she still refuse to marry?"

Mrs. Gu thought the same thing. Their village was still relatively backward, and most marriages were settled by parents and elders. As long as she, the grandmother, agreed, how could a stinky girl not get married?

"But what's the matter with your cousin's brother-in-law? He's a city man and it's not like he can't find a wife. He wants you to come to the country to find one."

Third Aunt Gu was a bit at a loss for words: "Her brother-in-law fell into the water when he was a child, his brain got wet, he giggled all day long, and couldn't take care of himself. I just want to find a wife to take care of him."

Even a shameless person like Mrs. Gu was shocked by Aunt Gu's cruelty. Why did this woman, who had no grievance or hatred, treat Gu Chun like this?

"Tell me first, what is the benefit to you? Don't think that I don't know, Wu Feng will do something that has no benefit?"

Aunt Gu gave a flattering smile: "Mom, I'm not thinking that when she marries that fool, can't we take over her job? After all, that job belongs to our Gu family, so what if she gets married? You’re not caring about your family anymore.”

"Your eldest grandson, our eldest son, is already twenty and doesn't have a job yet. If he goes to work in the city, won't he be able to bring you, my grandma, to live in the city?"

Mrs. Gu was happy when she heard this. She was already imagining that she would go to the city and no longer have to do farm work and would enjoy more happiness.

"Yes, my eldest grandson is very lucky. If he enters the city, we won't have to be weaklings."

Mr. Gu is actually not very optimistic about it. That girl is not easy to mess with, but he is also attracted by this beautiful vision. If this thing can come true, he will be a city man. If not, it is none of his business anyway.

"Mom, it's settled then. I'll go back to my parents' house and inform my aunt and ask her to tell my cousin. When the time comes, let her give the bride price directly to you."

Before Aunt Gu opened the door, a person ran away quickly from the door.

I saw a young girl running on the path of Gujiacun. She was wearing clean clothes. Unlike other farm girls, there was no patch on her clothes, which showed that she was very favored at home.

"Dad, Mom, something happened!" She hurriedly called her parents as soon as she ran into the house.

"Zhenzhu, why are you running? What happened?" It turned out to be Gu Daniu's daughter Gu Zhenzhu. Seeing her like this, Gu Daniu thought she was being bullied by her cousin Gu Dabao again.

"Dad, how long has it been since you visited our second uncle in the city?"

"You're talking about the forest. I haven't been there in two years. I remember that he lived a good life in those days. I just went to dig a ditch recently, and I originally planned to find time to take a look when I come back."

Gu Daniu had indeed gone to dig a ditch. It had been several months before the news of Gu Lin's death reached the village.

He was not in the village at that time, so he didn't know about it.

I originally planned to find time to go to the city to see my brother when I came back. Seeing my daughter like this, did something happen?

Gu Zhenzhu couldn't bear to look at her father: "Dad, my second uncle has passed away."

Gu Daniu's mind went blank, and he kept muttering: "It's impossible, it's impossible."

"It's true, Dad. My grandparents have gone to the city to have trouble with my cousin. They deliberately hid it from you."

"Don't be sad now, that's not the point."

Gu Daniu came to his senses and asked anxiously: "What else, what are your grandparents going to do?"

"I heard my third aunt discussing with my grandparents about her cousin's brother-in-law getting married. I was afraid that they were going to marry me off, so I listened for a while. But I heard them saying that they wanted to marry my cousin Gu Chun to that fool. , and also transfer the cousin’s work to Gu Dabao.”

"Dad, what should we do? Go and stop them quickly. Grandma plans to accept the bride price first and force my cousin to get married."

Gu Daniu was anxious: "No, I have to go to the city to find Gu Chun quickly."

He Ling listened for a while and understood what was going on. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were so vicious. If they dared to do this to Pearl, she would definitely fight to the death.

"Gu Daniu, don't worry, listen to me. When you go to the city, go to Gu Chun immediately. Remind her first and see if you can find a few people to help. Don't be arrested and married without preparation. . After you go, stay in the city first. I think this matter will come out in the next two days. Please help them if you can."

He Ling is the anchor of this family. After hearing her logical words, Gu Daniu knew what he was going to do, so he nodded and ran out.

He Ling looked at his back and sighed: "Hey, your second uncle, why did you leave at such a young age? We didn't know about this before. Your grandparents deliberately hid it from our family, fearing that we would steal it. It benefits them. Your father loves this younger brother the most, isn’t this going to hurt his heart?”

Gu Zhenzhu wondered: "Since dad loves his second uncle the most, why does he rarely go to the city to see him."

"I heard your father say this. Your grandparents didn't care about the two brothers. Your second uncle grew up on his back. Later, when your father was seventeen, your second uncle was thirteen. , your father went out to work for others, and when he came back, he heard that your second uncle was kicked out by your grandparents."

"Later, when he went to the city alone for the first time and found your second uncle, he had already stayed at their uncle's house. He thought your second uncle was living a good life in the city and didn't want to disturb him. I just go there every once in a while to see if he is doing well."

Gu Zhenzhu asked again: "It's actually been two years this time."

"Your father went there two years ago. When he came back, he heard that the second sister-in-law had given birth to four children. The youngest was three years old. The family was doing well. He felt that he could rest assured, so he didn't go to see him again. he."

Gu Zhenzhu felt sour when she heard this. Although his father was naive, he was really good to his family. Even though she was a daughter, he never disliked her. Instead, he often put her on his shoulders and went out to play. All the girls in the village are envious of her.

He suddenly learned that his second uncle had passed away, and he didn't realize it until half a year later. He felt so sad.
