Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 3: She quits being a courier (3)

When Aunt Luo talked about He Zhuru, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but she turned around and gently held Xu Zijin's hand.

"Your mother doesn't love you, but we uncles and aunts love you. Please stay in the hospital for a few more days!"

"Sister Luo, what's so good about staying in the hospital? Zijin, when you wake up, come home with me and don't waste your aunts' time."

He Zhuru was dragged to the hospital by Aunt Cai who had just returned from the hospital to pay the fees. She felt sorry for the hospitalization fee, as one day's stay in Jicheng Hospital could buy several meals of pork. Now that Xu Zijin had woken up, she would go home to recuperate.

Without waiting for anyone in the ward to answer, she started packing up Xu Zijin's things.

Xu Zijin wanted to play the role of the poor little girl who was bullied by her own mother. She didn't say a word, just lay on the hospital bed and let He Zhuru help her up.

The neighbors surrounding Xu Zijin's bed wanted to stop them, but He Zhuru glared at them several times. They kept silent, thinking that they could make something good in private when they returned to the compound to nourish Xu Zijin's body.

Otherwise, when they weren't looking, He Zhuru would abuse Xu Zijin even more severely.

After returning to the Qiao family, He Zhuru wanted to persuade Xu Zijin to go to the countryside again. As for forcing her to sign up, the factory leaders were watching. If she sent Xu Zijin to the countryside, the couple's iron rice bowl would be in jeopardy.

She turned her head away and ignored He Zhuru, thinking in her heart how to reveal He Zhuru's true face in front of everyone, and her good stepfather was not innocent in the death of the little girl.

If he hadn't secretly withheld the girl's resettlement fee and put the resettlement fee and her father's pension on the girl's bag in front of everyone.

Later, they secretly replaced the bags, leaving the little girl with only the bag containing spring and summer clothes, so the little girl would not die in the winter of the Advancing Brigade.

"Mom, you hit me with a porcelain cup today and broke my head. You didn't even care about my injury. You are still trying to persuade me to go to the countryside to replace Jizu?"

Xu Zijin looked as if he had been hit hard. The wound on his head and the sadness on his face made the Qiao siblings who had peeked through the window paper feel guilty.

When Xu Zijin saw two sneaky figures outside the window, she knew that the two siblings from the Qiao family had returned, but just having them was not enough, so she continued to provoke He Zhuru.

"What do you mean by going to the countryside for Jizu? In our family, you and Jizu are both within the age range of young people who go to the countryside."

"Besides, you are the elder sister, and there is a hierarchy between the elders and the younger ones. It is reasonable and logical that you should go to the countryside."

He Zhuru was unhappy to see the silly girl speaking so loudly. The walls of the family compound were not that thick, and Xu Zijin could not speak so loudly.

If the neighbors heard it, they would spread rumors of bad things about the Qiao family in the staff quarters. He Zhuru retorted loudly.

"Am I so unpopular with you?"

Xu Zijin crossed his arms in front of his chest and did not say a word. He Zhuru softened her tone with a hint of tears in her voice.

"Mom really has no other choice. I don't know who your Uncle Qiao has offended. Ask someone to report him to the leader."

Seeing that Xu Zijin was still looking at her coldly while she was performing a one-man show, He Zhuru hated this girl even more for her inconsiderateness. Her personality was exactly the same as her father who died early.

"They said that we have so many young children in our family, but none of them went to the countryside. They said that this is a sign of dissatisfaction with the policy. They wanted to sue us for being reactionaries and not cooperating with the Party's work."

As He Zhuru spoke, tears dripped from her eyes and she cried with snot and tears. She wiped the snot and tears from her face with her sleeves and continued speaking. She looked so pitiful.

"If you don't go to the countryside, your uncle Qiao and I will lose our jobs."

"Zijin, you don't want to see us laid off and our brothers and sisters not even have enough food to eat, right?"

He Zhuru became more and more excited as she spoke. She ignored the sick Xu Zijin's struggle and grabbed Xu Zijin's shoulders with both hands.

Xu Zijin groaned in pain and tried to escape from He Zhuru's large hands. He Zhuru's hands were somehow long, and they grabbed her shoulders like a hammer.

The pain made her stand up from the chair immediately. She kept some distance from He Zhuru so that she could not touch her easily, so Xu Zijin stopped.

She rubbed her aching shoulder and complained to He Zhuru, "You're hurting me."

"Mom, why do you have to force me to go to the countryside? Now that my dad is gone, can I just let the Qiao family do whatever they want?"

In addition to the Qiao siblings, there were also many employees and family members gathered outside. Xu Zijin showed weakness to He Zhuru. Her mission in this world was to go to the Qianjin Brigade to give birth to a child for the big villain. Going to the countryside was the fastest way to get close to the big villain.

Since she had to go to the countryside, why didn't she expose her scumbag mother and stepfather before going there and let them get the punishment they deserve?

Xu Zijin covered her face and pinched her waist secretly, her tone was painful, as if she was so sad that she covered her face and cried.

"Have you ever thought about what a girl would encounter when she goes to the countryside? What if I meet a bad guy with bad intentions towards me? What would a weak girl like me do?"

Before Xu Zijin entered the small world, 001 showed her a documentary that covered all the backgrounds of the small world. It was not uncommon for some female educated youth who went to the countryside in the s and s to be favored by some cadres because of their beauty and were insulted but could not speak out.

"Besides, my health is not good. All the uncles and aunts in the whole compound know it. The medical conditions in the countryside are not good. There is no place to find medicine when I am sick!"

She didn't want to use this reason to make He Zhuru feel guilty and not force her to go to the countryside. He Zhuru was well aware of how difficult life was for the female educated youth in the countryside.

It is impossible for her to let her beloved son go to the countryside out of momentary guilt. Instead, she asked her for money. Even in a parallel universe, in the 70s when private transactions were not allowed, money had many uses.

He Zhuru lowered her head as Xu Zijin pressed her step by step, and said awkwardly: "These difficulties can be overcome. You have always been smart in studying, and living in the countryside will definitely not be a problem for you."

There were only her and Xu Zijin in the Qiao family, so she simply stopped maintaining her gentle appearance.

"If you are willing to go to the countryside, I am willing to give you 200 yuan at once, and send you some daily necessities that you can't buy in the village from the city every month."

He Zhuru's face was full of expressions that showed that Xu Zijin had taken great advantage of her and that she would be foolish if she didn't agree. She was certain that Xu Zijin would agree to go to the countryside for Qiao Jizu just because she offered such generous conditions.

He Zhuru straightened herself up and said, "Mom has found someone who can buy you a job. Before you go to the countryside, you should take her to the textile factory to take over the job. I will take all the 200 yuan she gives me to the countryside, and I won't touch a single cent of your money."

Xu Zijin sneered in her heart, is he treating her like a child?

In the original owner's memory, even the position of a porter doing heavy work could be sold for 400 yuan, and some office-based and leisurely positions could be sold for as much as 900 yuan.

The original owner was not admitted to be an ordinary female worker in a textile factory, but a position in the Propaganda Department, which was a popular position.

If it is sold for 900 yuan, people will happily pay the money. After all, after getting the job, they can use one or two years' salary to buy a long-term iron rice bowl, which is a sure-win business.

He Zhuru had a good plan. She wanted her daughter to go to the countryside to replace her beloved son, and also wanted to use the job her daughter got through the exam to pave the way for herself.

It is simply sacrificing the interests of a daughter for the benefit of her entire family, while she still has to play the role of a good mother who loves her daughter. She is playing both sides!

"Humph, as expected, with a stepfather, mom is no longer my biological mom."

“Even the position I just passed the exam for has found a buyer!”

When Xu Zijin heard that He Zhuru was trying to persuade her to go to the countryside for her own benefit, she felt disgusted and retorted directly.
