Quick Wear: We are not a strategy system
Chapter 21 Country Love
Jiang Yuan woke up to find himself in the field. Sweat dripped down his hair. One drop fell into his eyes, causing a stinging pain.
Jiang Yuan: …
[Ding ding ding ding, your time machine is online again. Have you forgotten me after not appearing for so long? ]
Jiang Yuan wiped his sweat: [Hurry up and upload the plot, I'm dying of heat. ]
[Wow, you don’t love me. Ever since we started dating, you’ve started to ignore me. You don’t even care what dramas I watch or novels I read when I’m idle.]
Jiang Yuan ignored the time machine. The intense labor made her feel dizzy, so she stood up with her hoe and slowly walked to the shadow of a tree to rest.
[You don't even comfort me~, well, you are now a little village girl. The year before last, the original owner's father fell from the building while working at a construction site and was hit by a heavy object and died on the spot. The mother then ran away with the money and left with someone else. Now there is only a grandmother and you at home. In order to support herself and her grandmother, the original owner had to drop out of school and do farm work to support the family. The family's fields were barely enough for the two of them to eat, and life was tight. Later, the original owner was favored by a rogue in the village, or not really favored, just because there was no man in your family and only an old man wanted to bully her. The original owner had no choice but to give herself to him. Later, the original owner became pregnant, and when she went to give birth, she found out by chance that you were a child who was taken away by mistake. The original owner's mother was actually the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. (In fact, it was not a mistake. The original owner's mother who eloped with someone else deliberately replaced her because the other party had a good family background and would definitely not let her daughter suffer. She saw in the ward that the other party had a group of people taking care of her and giving her various supplements after giving birth, and she was so jealous that she secretly replaced their children)
Although the original owner found out, she did not intend to rely on the blood relationship to rely on the other party. However, after the original owner's husband knew about this, he went to the hospital every day to make a scene and ask for money. The mother and daughter who had never met each other became enemies. The original owner's child grew up to be a bad boy. He thought his mother was just a servant in the family. He ordered her around and finally killed someone and let his mother take the blame.
The original owner had absolutely no happiness in her life, it was really pitiful. 】
[So the current time point is that my mother has run away with someone else with the money. Have I dropped out of school now? ]
[Yes, you have already dropped out of school. You have already finished junior high school. Many of your classmates have financial difficulties and do not plan to continue their studies. The original owner's family is not doing well now, so she naturally would not mention continuing to go to school to her grandmother.
It's still spring and you have to be busy planting the fields at home. You can't let your grandmother, who is over 60 years old, work alone in the fields. 】
[Oh.] Jiang Yuan rested for a while and then continued to work skillfully with the hoe.
Got to fill my stomach first.
She came home hungry at noon, and the family only had a pot of rice and a plate of green vegetables for lunch. Jiang Yuan was so hungry that she finished a large bowl of rice with just this bowl of water. It was not a delicate small bowl, but an old-fashioned large bowl, solid and piled high.
In the morning, we just loosened the soil, and in the afternoon, we connected water and covered the fields. Rice is the main crop here, and rice likes water, so we need to give it enough water.
As he remembered, the uncle next door had a water pump, and Jiang Yuan planned to borrow it from them after dinner.
Grandma felt sorry for her, so she boiled an egg, peeled it and put it directly into her bowl, refusing to accept the half-and-half rule.
The old lady was very old. While eating, she kept talking about how cruel her mother was. She was unwilling to wash her diapers when she was a child. She also talked about her poor son and couldn't help wiping the tears from her eyes.
After dinner, she was about to help her grandmother wash the dishes, but her grandmother snatched it away and said, "You don't have to do it, I'll wash the dishes!"
She looked like she would get angry if someone tried to compete with her for the job.
She didn't insist and silently looked through the drawers at home. There was only more than 500 yuan in the passbook, which should be saved by her grandmother herself.
She should have gone to high school this year, but the tuition for high school is several dozen yuan, and the school is in the county town.
The original owner's father had worked away from home before and the family was able to make ends meet, and he had always said that he would support the original owner's education. But now she naturally couldn't bear to spend her grandmother's money.
Jiang Yuan sighed, going to school is so difficult.
The sun was at its highest point at noon, and she planned to wait until two o'clock when it was cooler before going to work.
Not wanting to bump into others eating, Jiang Yuan kept her eyes on the door. She saw the aunt next door taking her dishes and going out to the pond to wash them, so she went over to borrow the water pump.
They had just finished their meal, and the air was still filled with the aroma of meat. Jiang Yuan swallowed unconsciously. He had already eaten, but he suddenly felt a little hungry.
After briefly explaining the purpose of our visit, the honest-looking uncle looked embarrassed and said, "Xiao Yuan, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but it suddenly stopped working when we were using it yesterday. I plan to go to the city in a couple of days to have it repaired or buy a new one."
Jiang Yuan thanked him anyway, then went out into the sunshine with a frown on his face.
My own field is some distance away from the pond, and it would be impossible without a pump.
Although the village was large, there were only two water pumps among the dozen or so households, and they were all borrowed. The other family with a water pump was in the north of the village, and he didn't remember having much dealings with them before.
The family was also well-off, with three sons. The father was a teacher in the town, and the grandfather had worked for the government. In those days, anyone with a job was considered a very good family. The family certainly had no worries about food and clothing.
No matter how their son does, there are always many people coming to propose marriage to him.
Jiang Yuan still plucked up the courage to go and borrow it: I believe that wealthy people will not care about such a small matter.
As a result, she heard a quarrel inside when she was at the door: the man seemed to be drunk and had a big tongue, "Fuck, why are you sleeping? You bought tofu but didn't even cook it with the meat, and just stir-fried some leftovers and steamed some bacon? Lazy woman, you don't even know how to serve people all day long?"
Then there was a piercing female voice that sounded like she was crying: "I don't know how to work? You didn't even help me when I was planting rice at home, and I have to cook for you when I come back? You just drink outside all day long, who knew you would come back for dinner today."
"How dare you talk back? If I don't beat you today, you won't know who is in charge of this family."
There was a crackling sound and heart-wrenching cries.
Jiang Yuan: …
"What are you doing standing at my door?"
Jiang Yuan was startled and turned around to see a neatly dressed, unfriendly little boy who looked taller than her and had fair skin, probably the child of this family.
Young master who has never suffered hardship. Jiang Yuan couldn't help but say sourly.
"Nothing." She realized that she couldn't borrow the money, so she turned around and wanted to leave without making trouble.
The boy stopped her instead: "Why are you standing at my doorstep eavesdropping for no reason? What are you doing here? Are you my brother's secret girlfriend?"
Jiang Yuan looked up and saw that he had a bad look on his face, as if he was sure she was a liar.
"I just wanted to borrow the water pump, but I saw your house was inconvenient, so I was ready to leave. I'm not your brother's girlfriend."
Tan Kah Kee pursed his lips. He really couldn't blame him for making a mistake. Since his eldest brother came of age, many girls have come to him to propose marriage. He has dated several girls but has not yet decided. There are always girls looking for him.
His parents were still arguing at home, and being caught by her made him feel extremely embarrassed. He just wanted her to leave quickly, "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
He quickly ran into the house, took out the water pump from the small shed next to him, and handed it to her in a hurry: "Let's go, remember to return it."
Jiang Yuan borrowed the item and thanked him politely, then couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go in and help?"
Chen Jiageng's face immediately turned red, and he quickly pushed Jiang Yuan out: "I will go, don't worry about it."
Jiang Yuan pretended to leave, but was actually eavesdropping.
Domestic violence was common in this era, because the household contract responsibility system had been implemented, and everyone had land at home, but the income from farming was too small, and the family needed labor, and women had a low status, and it was indeed difficult to live without men. It would be two years before going south to work became popular, and everyone gradually lived a good life.
But the boy probably didn't lie, and the sound of fighting soon stopped after he entered. After that, there was only a woman's low sobbing.
Jiang Yuan left with peace of mind only after hearing the noise had stopped.
