Husband, please lend me your virtues

Chapter 9: She quits being a courier (9)

"Thank you for your reminder, second sister. Second sister can't stop the fate of going to the countryside. I am soft-hearted, but I won't. I will definitely stay in the big city for the rest of my life."

Qiao Wenzhu knew that Xu Zijin had bad intentions, but what she said was indeed the truth. In the eyes of the Qiao family, the three sisters combined could not compare to a single hair of Qiao Jizu. She still couldn't help but retort to Xu Zijin, implying that she was useless and was driven to the countryside by He Zhuru.

Xu Zijin ignored the little girl's boring talk, walked past her and went back to Qiao's house to pack his luggage, preparing to go to the street office to get a certificate to stay in the guesthouse for a while until it was time to go to the countryside.

As soon as he got down to the courtyard, Xu Zijin was stopped by a boy who was guarding the courtyard. He grabbed Xu Zijin's luggage and turned to shout at the bungalow next to him:

"Mom, mom! Sister Xu is out with her luggage, come down quickly."

A middle-aged woman with a blue cloth wrapped around her head and clothes much better than most people in the compound, without any patches, hurried out upon hearing the noise.

"Xiao Xu, I'm your uncle Li's lover. My last name is Huang, so you can just call me Aunt Huang."

Aunt Huang said cheerfully, taking the luggage from Xu Zijin's hand, "Old Li told me about you. You are such a poor little girl. You can rest assured to stay at my house for the time being."

"No, thank you for your kindness. I'll just stay at the guesthouse."

"Hey! Why are you being so polite to Aunt Huang! Your father saved so many lives back then. If he knew in heaven that his only daughter was forced to live in a guesthouse."

"If we, who have received his kindness, ignore his daughter, your father will be angry and heartbroken!"

Aunt Huang held Xu Zijin's hand with her free hand and wanted to take her home.

"Listen to Aunt Huang, and don't worry about staying at my house. Aunt Huang doesn't have a daughter, so you can be my daughter! Okay?"

"Thank you, Aunt Huang. I'll come and bother you, Aunt Huang!"

Xu Zijin couldn't resist Aunt Huang's enthusiasm. He snatched some luggage from Aunt Huang and walked with her to the bungalow in the family compound.

"Hey, we wish you would come and disturb us every day!"

Aunt Huang pulled Xu Zijin into their bungalow and took her to a large room, which was clean and filled with things Xu Zijin needed.

"Auntie Huang just took the bedding and pillows out of the box. I haven't had time to wash them. They've been in the sun for the whole afternoon. I'll just use them for now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Huang."

Xu Zijin thanked Aunt Huang gratefully. Aunt Huang waved her hand and went out to do something, leaving her son, Li Wen, who had just been waiting for Xu Zijin in the compound, to accompany her.

Xu Zijin stayed at the Li family's house. Before dinner, Li Wenxing rushed in from the courtyard.

He pulled Xu Zijin out and said mysteriously, "Sister Xu, come out quickly. There's something interesting to watch."

"Your sister is amazing. She just ran to the Youth League Office without saying a word and signed up her brother to go to the countryside!"

Li Wen talked about Qiao Wenzhu with a look of admiration on his face. He was only eight years old now and he couldn't play with Qiao Wenzhu on weekdays. She had always been seen as a well-behaved and sensible little sister in front of everyone. He didn't expect that she would suddenly become a big one for the Qiao couple.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Xu Zijin, the driving force behind the scene, heard the satisfactory follow-up and raised her red lips to show her good mood. She followed Li Wen to the big tree quietly and watched the bustle of the Qiao family under the cover of the tree.

He Zhuru grabbed Qiao Wenzhu's ear and pulled her back to the courtyard, her chest heaving as she taught Qiao Wenzhu a lesson in public.

"You little bitch, you've grown wings! How dare you secretly sign up your brother to go to the countryside? You've been eating my food for so many years, but you don't care about me as your mother at all."

When He Zhuru saw Qiao Wenzhu coming out of the Youth League Office, she interrogated her and found out that this girl had actually signed up for Qiao Jizu to go to the countryside. She was so angry that her heart ached.

Just a little bit! Her son didn't have to go to the countryside, and it was all ruined by this nasty bitch.

"Was it Xu Zijin who encouraged you to sign up for your brother? This bitch, why can't she see the good in my step-ancestor?"

He Zhuru recalled what Xu Zijin said before leaving the Youth League Office, and she intuitively felt that it was Xu Zijin's doing.

He Zhuru cursed, "You stupid girl, you want to maintain a pure and kind image in front of everyone, but you instigate your sister to take revenge on your parents. You have no conscience!"

She looked at Qiao Wenzhu with disgust and pushed her to the ground fiercely. "You are being used as a gun and you are still so smug, you idiot!"

"Since you have signed up your stepfather to go to the countryside, then as your elder, I will also sign you up so that you can keep your brother company!"

When Xu Zijin heard what He Zhuru said, he clenched his hands, said nothing, and took Li Wen back to the Li family.

After she sent Li Wen out to play, she left the housing estate with a cloth bag, but her arms were a little thicker than usual.

Xu Zijin came to a deserted yard. After checking that there was no one around, she took out the unique cosmetics of this era that she had bought at the department store. Even though they were simple, they were enough for Xu Zijin to use.

She transformed herself into an androgynous man, took off her blue skirt, revealing a gray and black men's suit.

She was thin and before coming out, she put on a set of men's clothes that she had prepared in advance, and then put on a skirt.

The skirts of this era were somewhat conservative, and they did a good job of covering up the extra clothes that one was wearing, so it was impossible to tell unless one was familiar with the clothes.

After Xu Zijin came out of the deserted yard, he went to the steel plant and dropped off a letter of denunciation.

She was not tall, and dressed as a boy, looking like an underage teenager. Xu Zijin lowered her voice, speaking in a childish voice, and poked the aunt next to her with her elbow.

"Auntie, there are two comrades in your steel plant who have problematic work styles."

When the aunt heard about the style issue, she immediately perked up and took the initiative to grab Xu Zijin's hand.

"Young man, speak carefully! I don't want to work with these social scums."

"Section Chief Qiao and his wife from your factory, the man killed his wife in the countryside, and took advantage of his position to fleece socialism and make a lot of money!"

"That can't be possible. I see that Qiao Qingfeng's first-born daughter has been acting like a normal person these days. She even came to the compound today to protect her stepsister. How could she not know that her mother has lost her daughter?"

The aunt thought the young man had something on Qiao Qingfeng, but she didn't expect him to be talking nonsense.

Xu Zijin wiped her tears and cried, "You don't know, their family disappeared a week ago, and they were only discovered by the villagers in the past few days. If I hadn't come to visit them, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known about it."

"I see. I was wrong about you."

The aunt patted Xu Zijin's shoulder to comfort her and motioned for her to continue.
