Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 397: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5

Gu Yubo raised his lips and added, "It seems to be like this. A few years ago, my mother saw a man who always came to see Yinfeng's mother."

"Then what, then what?" Gu Min asked back. How could there be secrets that she didn't know?

Gu Yubo didn't seem to want to say anything, but seeing her friends all looking at her with wide eyes, she simply said, "That was several years ago. Later, my grandma said that the man went to a big city to find a job. It was said that he made a lot of money. He never came back after that. My grandma told my mom not to talk nonsense outside. I overheard this. Don't spread it around. My grandma will scold me to death."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we keep our mouths shut." Gu Min was the first to express his opinion, and the rest of them nodded quickly.

Gu Yubo's grandfather was a teacher during the Republic of China period. He survived the dark decade and still had the character of a man. He hated women gossiping and children making unruly noises the most.

With the reform and opening up in recent years, the well-educated grandfather has become more majestic than the village chief.

My great-grandfather had two sons. The younger son used to be a worker in the city. Later, he took advantage of the resumption of the college entrance examination and was admitted to university. Now he has changed his career and become a lawyer.

The eldest son is Gu Yubo's father. Because of his physical condition, he could not do heavy work. He used to work as a scorekeeper in the village. Later, due to land reform, he lost his scorekeeper job and became an ordinary farmer who could not work in the fields. Now he fishes and catches eels to sell in the city. The burden of the family is almost all on Yubo's mother.

The great-grandfather did not follow his youngest son to the city, but he did not live with his eldest son's family either. Instead, he lived alone with his wife in the old house behind Gu Yubo's house, and he would help Gu Yubo's family on weekdays.

All of these children, including Gu Li, were very afraid of their great grandfather.

After a brief silence, Gu Dandan was still puzzled, "So, why did Yin Feng's mother beat and scold her so cruelly?"

Gu Li thought for a while and said, "Maybe she regrets marrying Yinfeng's father." She felt that she should have married someone better, but Yinfeng's father ruined her marriage.

Feeling angry, he took out all his anger on his daughter.

"It's not Yinfeng's fault. Why are you taking your anger out on Yinfeng?" Gu Dandan has a good family atmosphere. Her parents are loving, her grandparents dote on her, and she has an unmarried uncle who treats her like a treasure. Gu Dandan, who is loved by everyone, cannot understand how she can have such parents.

Gu Yubo said, "It's not just Yinfeng who is being beaten and scolded. Her father is having a hard time at home too."

"Yes, yes. If her mother hadn't been so good at scolding people, Sister Jinfeng wouldn't have gone to Mauritius to work with people from the next village at the age of sixteen!" Gu Min followed.

In a country undergoing reform and opening up, there is a lot of work to be done. The cheapest resource is labor, and exporting labor is a major feature of this era.

Jinfeng, Yinfeng's older sister, is the first person in her village to go abroad to work. It's fresh and adventurous.

Fortunately, money and letters were sent home every year, proving that she was really selling her labor and not being abducted to sell her kidneys.

They had not been talking for long when Gu Dandan's mother's voice came from a distance, and Gu Dandan stood up immediately. "My mother called me home for dinner, so I'll go back first."

Gu Yubo also stood up and said, "I have to go back too. My mother will be looking for me soon."

"Hey, wait for me, I'll go with you!" Gu Min stood up and caught up with Gu Yubo without caring about the grass debris stuck on his butt.

Their two families live close to each other, so it's a good opportunity for them to go back together.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Li was the only one left.

Gu Li:-----

Gu Li, who was sitting on the straw bale, did not move. She was silently calling San Liang in her mind.

"Why don't I have any memory of the future in this life? What was the wish of my original body?" How come she didn't feel anything at all.

San Liang: "You were very unhappy in your last life. I chose this world for you to vacation in, to relax!"

Gu Li: “I don’t need it.”

"As the saying goes, now we are here!"

Gu Li: ------

Sanliang did not ask why Gu Li chose to leave at the point of her original body's death in her previous life instead of staying and spending the rest of her life with Shen Xizhou.

As if on cue, Gu Li did not tell San Liang that she had sporadically remembered a lot of things that happened before she lost her memory.

She seemed to have come for someone, but she couldn't remember who it was for yet.

Maybe it has something to do with Shen Xizhou.

Gu Li was in deep thought for a long time under the afterglow of the setting sun, so long that the night wind brought the coolness of early autumn. She did not wait for her family to call her home for dinner.

Standing up on his knees, Gu Li followed the route he remembered and returned to his home near the end of the village.

There are three brick houses with gray tiles, no wall or yard, and two large private plots roughly marked out at the door for growing vegetables.

Without getting close, Gu Li, who had excellent eyesight, saw the wooden door with an iron guard at a glance.

Her parents are still busy in the fields.

Gu Li turned around and went to her own field to look for someone, at least to get the key to open the door.

Gu Li is the third child in the family, with two older sisters. In the 1970s and 1980s, boys were particularly favored over girls in rural areas. Looking at her family's situation, one can tell that they were trying their best to have a son, otherwise Gu Li would not have been born after the family planning policy.

In fact, before Gu Li, her mother, Comrade Zhang Yuhua, was pregnant with a boy. However, when the baby was more than six months old, she had an argument with her mother-in-law and accidentally fell, causing the miscarriage of the already fully formed baby boy.

The reason for the quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was that Comrade Zhang Yuhua was disliked by her mother-in-law because she had no son. Unexpectedly, the son in her belly was lost because of this.

Then Gu Li's mother separated from her grandmother's family.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had always been bad until Comrade Zhang Yuhua became pregnant with Gu Li. The same pregnancy reaction made Comrade Zhang Yuhua feel that this time it must be a son. She would rather let Comrade Gu Xilin lose her iron rice bowl in the factory than not give up this baby.

Unexpectedly, she gave birth to another daughter.

That is Gu Li.

When the mother-in-law saw that her eldest daughter-in-law not only lost her son's good job for such a little girl, but her son also faced a fine for having more children than allowed, she was extremely angry and cursed Zhang Yuhua for giving birth to a money-losing girl.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law became even more strained, even to the point where they used kitchen knives to chop each other and held carrying poles to meet each other.

Over the years, in order not to be looked down upon by the old house owners, Gu Li's mother has devoted all her attention to making money.

In the words of Comrade Zhang Yuhua, she treats herself as a man and can do the same work as men.

Zhang Yuhua is indispensable in working in the fields. When she returns home, there is no one to help her, so she has to boil water and cook on a cold stove.

She did all these without regrets.
