Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Song Shuangshuang guessed that Liu Juhua might have mental problems, but she didn't expect this to be the reason. She felt very sympathetic towards her sister-in-law, but at the same time, she was also curious about why Liu Juhua married Jiang Changgui again? Didn't she marry Wang Quezi?

Aunt Chang saw her doubts and continued

Wang Quezi drank a lot of alcohol on the day Liu Juhua had an abortion. He chased after her and beat her up, but then got scared. When he ran back, the wind blew the alcohol out of his head. It snowed heavily that night, and Wang Quezi fell drunk and slept on the side of the road. He was buried in the snow, and when he was found, he was frozen solid.

Jiang Changgui took care of Liu Juhua in the hospital for a few days. When he sent her back, he found out that Wang Quezi had died. Wang Quezi's family thought that Liu Juhua was unlucky and that she lost the baby, and that she killed Wang Quezi, so they drove her away. When she returned to her parents' home, she was also beaten out. Her stepmother said that a daughter who is married is like spilled water, and that since she is married, she has no relationship with her parents' home. She was unlucky and killed two sons.

Jiang Changgui was angry but he had a good impression of Liu Juhua, so he wanted to take her back to his home and marry her.

Liu Juhua is 7 or 8 years younger than Jiang Changgui. Jiang Changgui had seen Liu Juhua in the village before and knew that she often didn't have food, so he stuffed her with food several times. At that time, the old hunter who raised Jiang Changgui had passed away. Jiang Changgui was irritable and easily angered, and he fought with people everywhere. Seeing that Liu Juhua had no resentment even though she was tortured by her stepmother, and still lived tenaciously, he had some good feelings for her, and his temper became more restrained. He wanted to marry her and started hunting to save money.

Before he could save much money, Liu Juhua was sold by her stepmother. Jiang Changgui felt bad for a while and started to slack off again. He often quarreled and fought with others. Once when he was hunting in the mountains, he avoided a wild boar that rushed towards him and fell into a trap. He was out of water and food for several days. It was Liu Juhua who went up the mountain to look for mountain products and found him and rescued him.

Liu Juhua had just lost her child and her mental state was fluctuating.

Jiang Changgui was a bit stubborn. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it. Fortunately, an aunt in the village saw what he meant and said that if he took Liu Juhua back home directly, the villagers would say something about Liu Juhua. When she woke up, she would definitely feel ashamed to face people and might become depressed. So a group of people persuaded Jiang Changgui not to take Liu Juhua back home.

The villagers knew that Liu Juhua had a hard life, so they found an empty house for her to live in. Jiang Changgui went to take care of Liu Juhua every day and talked to her. It took Liu Juhua half a year to recover. Knowing that Jiang Changgui had taken care of her for so long, she was very grateful, but still did not agree to marry him. She felt that she had been married and was a widow, and some people said that she had a hard life and was unlucky, so she was not worthy of Jiang Changgui.

Not only did Liu Juhua and Wang Quezi not hold a wedding, they did not even get a marriage certificate. They just transferred their food supply to Wang Quezi's village. Liu Juhua had died once, and she had become more clear-headed. She simply went back to Wangjia Village to get a certificate, proving that Wang Quezi's family had driven her away. She and Wang Quezi were not married because they did not get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding. Wang Quezi was dead, so she had no relationship with Wang Quezi's family. After getting the certificate, she transferred her food supply back to Jiangjia Village and started working to earn work points to support herself.

As for why she agreed to marry Jiang Changgui, it was because a foul-mouthed aunt in the village said that she should not return to Jiangjia Village as it brought shame to the village. She also said that she had brought death to her children and Wang Quezi, and that no one would take care of her when she was old, so she should find a deserted place and hang herself to avoid scaring the children in the village with her ugly appearance. Other vicious remarks were made.

When Liu Juhua heard what the aunt said, she felt dizzy and couldn't open her mouth...

When she felt better, she saw Jiang Changgui surrounded by a group of people. They pointed at the old lady and cursed at her. He tried to break free from the crowd and punched the old lady. Four or five men almost couldn't control him.

It was Liu Juhua who ran over to stop Jiang Changgui and calmed him down. From then on, no one dared to say those words in front of Liu Juhua. First, they were afraid that Jiang Changgui would get angry and hurt others again. Second, Liu Juhua was indeed pitiful, and they didn't need to stab her in the heart. Moreover, Liu Juhua herself was easy to get along with and never got angry when arguing with others.

Later, Liu Juhua agreed to marry Jiang Changgui. Jiang Changgui also changed his personality. He worked hard to earn work points and occasionally went up the mountain to hunt. He also went up the mountain to chop firewood for the family and washed the clothes in winter. He never let Liu Juhua suffer any grievances and listened to his wife in everything.

This is why Aunt Chang saw that Liu Juhua was not in a good state today and quickly asked someone to call Jiang Changgui. She was afraid that Liu Juhua would have another attack, and only with Jiang Changgui's arrival could Liu Juhua be more sober. She was also afraid that the educated youth would say something excessive and irritate Liu Juhua, and Jiang Changgui's arrival would scare people.

But I didn't expect Jiang Changgui to react so strongly today and even trampled on the crops in the field.

Aunt Wang saw that Aunt Chang felt a little guilty, and consoled her, "Even if you didn't ask Changgui to come, someone else would have. Fortunately, Juhua is fine, and Jiang Jingcheng came to stop Changgui, so there were no serious consequences."

Aunt Chang sighed deeply and felt a little better.

Song Shuangshuang learned about the story between the couple, and couldn't help sighing in her heart that although Sister Juhua had a hard life in the past 20 years, fortunately she met Jiang Changgui, a man who knew how to love his wife, and did not despise her appearance or the fact that she had been married before.

Both husband and wife are capable and they live a good life, which means they have finally gotten what they deserved after all the hardship they have endured.

Aunt Wang suddenly said, "It's a pity that Juhua has been married to Changgui for several years but has not given birth to a child. What will they do when they are old?"

"Yes, they are both not young anymore. Juhua should be 30 this year, and Changgui is 38. We don't know if they can give birth yet. It's all because of the one the Liu family married back home! So cruel to Juhua! She lost her health before." Aunt Chang also cursed and pulled out a handful of weeds in anger. As if she was not satisfied, she pulled out several more handfuls in succession.

Song Shuangshuang used to think that it didn’t matter whether she had a child or not. If something happened, it would be pitiful to leave the child behind.

But in this era, there were very few families without children. Every family would have two or three children, if not four or five. The Song family was one of them. The Song couple gave birth to three siblings.

People of this generation say that raising sons is a way to prepare for old age. Song Shuangshuang finally understands why. As farmers, they definitely want to have more sons. It's not that daughters are bad. In rural areas, men are the strong laborers. Only when there are strong laborers in the family can they earn more work points and get more grain at the end of the year.

Song Shuangshuang couldn't help but interrupt, "What about Changgui...Brother? Didn't you take Sister Juhua to the hospital?"

Aunt Chang replied that she had been there before, but the old doctors in the hospital had been demoted, and there were few good doctors left. So she said that the previous miscarriage might have hurt her body and she might not be able to get pregnant again. The couple came back. Juhua was very upset and asked Jiang Changgui to marry another one. She couldn't let Jiang Changgui have no descendants. Jiang Changgui said he didn't agree to anything, saying that he was also picked up by an old hunter and didn't need to pass on the family line, and asked Juhua to stop saying such things.

Later, Changgui said that he wanted to take Juhua to see a doctor again, but Juhua disagreed, saying that going to the hospital was a waste of money and she would not go no matter what. She became anxious if Changgui tried to persuade her again.

The two of them have lived like this for the past few years.

After the whistle sounded, Song Shuangshuang looked at the weeds she had pulled, and thought they were good. If she didn't work harder today, she probably wouldn't even earn 4 work points. She said hello to the two aunts and went back to eat.

On the way back, I met Tan Anjing. Tan Anjing was in a small team, a little far from here. She didn't come to see the farce just now, but there was an aunt in their team who was very trustworthy and went to see it. After she went back, she started to make a fuss about it, and many people knew about it.

Tan Anjing worked with the old educated youth. They listened to the general idea. Tan Anjing didn't know the pros and cons of it. Seeing that the faces of the old educated youth turned bad after hearing what the aunt said, and that villagers looked at them from time to time, she felt a little panicked for some reason.

I came to see Song Shuangshuang as soon as I got off work. I wanted to talk to her about this and hear her opinion.

Song Shuangshuang thought about it for a while and told Tan Anjing to pretend that she didn't know about it and not to express her opinion when she returned to the educated youth camp. If anyone asked her what she thought, she should say that she was busy working in the morning and didn't hear what the villagers said. Don't have conflicts with the villagers and just work hard every day.

Tan Anjing nodded obediently, indicating that she understood. This is what her family said before she went to the countryside, and she was obedient!

When the two returned to the educated youth site, most of the old educated youth had returned. No one was talking and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing looked at each other and walked into the house. They saw Wan Xue and the other two cooking in the main room. There was no sign of Bai Lingling. Song Shuangshuang asked, "Wan Zhiqing, Bai Zhiqing is not back yet?"

Wan Xue, who was always good-tempered, said nothing, but she said unhappily to Lv Xiaotao from Tan Anjing's team, "I don't know where she went. I heard from Lan Fang that she caused trouble in the field this morning. The team leader said a few words to her and she ran away. I didn't see her until the end of the work."

Song Shuangshuang didn't say anything. It was obvious that the old educated youth all knew what had happened.

"Stop talking. The meal is ready. Let the male educated youth take bowls to serve the rice." Song Shuangshuang and the other person dawdled on the way for a while. Since three people were working together on this meal, it would naturally be done faster.

Song Shuangshuang looked into the pot and saw that everyone was in a bad mood. The corn porridge was much thinner than usual, obviously because too much water was added.

She thought that she had to take two biscuits to work, otherwise the field would be filled with the rumbling of her stomach before noon.

Tan Anjing also noticed this problem, but didn't dare to say anything. She silently served herself a bowl of porridge and went to the yard to eat.

In summer, everyone eats in the yard, and only when it’s cold do they eat in the main room.

Song Shuangshuang felt so uncomfortable eating this meal. Not only was it too watery, but the pickled vegetables she had eaten in the morning were probably not rinsed with water and were too salty. Song Shuangshuang really ate this meal with twitching eyes. Just as she and Tan Anjing washed the dishes and went back to the house to prepare to eat something else, Bai Lingling came back.

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Bai Lingling.

Lu Xiaotao spoke bluntly, looking at Bai Lingling unhappily and said, "Oh, you still remember to come back for dinner?"

If it were before, Fan Lanfang would have stopped Lu Xiaotao, but today she said nothing and just kept her head down while eating. She was in the same team as Bai Lingling, and she was nearby when the accident happened in the morning, so she knew the whole story. After the village chief made the decision that Bai Lingling ran away, she went back to work. But the villagers who worked near her said a lot of bad things about the educated youth, saying that the educated youth who came to the countryside were all the same kind of people, and dared to bully people in their village.

He would cast his eyes on her from time to time, making her feel uncomfortable for the whole morning.
