Chapter 749 A Chaotic World (14)
"Don't cry anymore. Just have a good cry and that's enough. All this crying and sobbing is so unsightly," Wangyou said, taking a step back.
"Okay, I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore."
Song Qingqing wiped away her tears. Although she was still sobbing a little, she was much better and looked much better now.
As for Song Tingting, who was beaten, no one sympathized with her, not even Wangyou. Wangyou disliked the aura emanating from this person, and besides, her injuries were at most superficial. If she had struck, she could have crippled at least a pair of them.
This also shows that even though Song Qingqing suffered great injustice in her previous life, her kindness was not extinguished, which is why Wangyou was willing to help her.
Song Tingting was probably scared after being beaten, and she never provoked Song Qingqing again. Song Qingqing also visibly improved a lot.
During the Chinese New Year, Wangyou didn't go home, but her parents came to visit her and stayed with her for a few days before going back home.
Spring is the season of rejuvenation. Wangyou thought of the river at the entrance of the village and decided to dig an ice hole to catch fish.
Although it is already spring, spring comes a bit late in Heilongjiang Province. The ice has not yet melted, and the river is full of children skating and adults fishing.
Wangyou carefully carved an ice hole, then sprinkled in her specially made pills, and then placed a net bag underneath.
Then Wangyou stopped caring and started looking around aimlessly. That's when she saw another strange woman.
The woman was ice skating, but the ice where she was standing didn't seem to be very thick. However, she wasn't unaware of this, because she seemed to be skating near that patch of ice with a purpose, while her eyes kept anxiously looking towards the village entrance, as if she was waiting for someone.
This feels like they're plotting against someone!
"Wangyou, what are you looking at?" Song Qingqing walked over. "Here you go, it's spicy jerky I made myself."
"Thank you!" Wangyou took it without ceremony and started eating. "I was looking at that woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket, and I had a feeling that she was plotting against someone."
Don't you recognize her?
"I don't know her. Who is she?"
"She is Liu Fubao's cousin."
"Interesting. Let's wait and see what she's up to!"
The two waited for the fish to be caught in the net while keeping an eye on what was happening over there.
After Wangyou scooped out three nets full of fish, she waited for a commotion at the village entrance. A man in a green military uniform strode steadily toward the village, and then Wangyou noticed the movements of Fubao's cousin.
With a powerful kick, the ice cracked, and the woman began screaming for help, successfully attracting the attention of the green figure.
Wangyou had intended to remind the man, since such a calculated marriage was not a good thing.
But upon seeing the man's face, Wangyou decisively withdrew her foot that had just stepped out. She didn't have a good feeling about him. He might be a good soldier, a good person, but definitely not a good husband. Since she was going to scheme against him, she would have to reap what she sowed.
"By the way, Qingqing, what's that woman's name?"
"I think her name is Liu Zhaodi."
"There are so many girls named Zhaodi," Wangyou remarked.
"That's right, I used to be called Zhaodi, but I changed my name later."
"Well done."
Liu Zhaodi went too far, the ice cracked, and she fell in. Immediately afterwards, a green figure jumped into the icy river and struggled to pull her out.
Liu Zhaodi's face turned bluish-purple from the cold, and she was on the verge of death. In that critical moment, the soldier performed first aid on her, but such behavior was extremely outrageous in the rural area where people had limited knowledge.
Then Liu Zhaodi's parents arrived quickly, and after a series of actions, they successfully arranged a marriage between the two, even demanding an exorbitant dowry of two hundred yuan.
Wangyou also saw Liu Fubao rushing over, and her face was extremely ugly.
Having caught enough forget-me-not fish and watched the excitement, she gave one of the extra fish to a fellow educated youth she was on good terms with, and then went home.
She took the rest home to raise, and would cook one to eat whenever she craved it.
But I, who am not one to stay at home, took a pound of melon seeds and two fish and went to the brigade leader's house for a free meal, and also to find out what happened this morning.
The brigade leader's wife was very welcoming to Wangyou's arrival. When she saw the two large fish weighing four or five pounds each, she said she didn't need them, but she accepted them in the end. After all, it wasn't the first time Wangyou had come to freeload a meal.
"Auntie, who was the person who saved Liu Zhaodi this morning?"
"That's a soldier's son, Tian Jun, from the Tian family. He's in the army and seems to be a platoon leader now. He was engaged to Liu Fubao, but Zhao Di snatched him away." Aunt Li knew Wangyou's love for gossip, so she told her the story in detail.
"How is Tian Junjun doing?"
"He's a good person." That's all Aunt Li said.
"Auntie, please tell me more, I promise I won't tell anyone else," Wangyou said expectantly, pleadingly.
"Why do you love listening to all this excitement?" Aunt Li said helplessly, tapping Wangyou's forehead.
"The young man from the Tian family is a good person, but his goodness is somewhat blind to right and wrong. He seems alright, but any girl who marries him will suffer a great loss."
That kid always wanted to lend a hand to anyone he saw. For example, when he was fifteen, his mother and Granny Wang from the same village both fell ill. Without saying a word, the kid gave Granny Wang the oxcart he had borrowed. That time, his mother almost didn't make it through the ordeal.
When your Aunt Tian woke up, she was heartbroken. The boy kept repeating the same thing: "His mother didn't die, did she?" Later, to avoid disturbing her eyes, she sent him to join the army.
"I came back a couple of years ago and saw a lot of changes. The Liu family started thinking about marrying Liu Fubao off to them; it would be a good match."
"Auntie, is Liu Fubao very lucky? All the daughters of the Liu family are considered a financial loss by the old lady of the Liu family, so how come Liu Fubao is different?"
"Because before Liu Fubao was born, Old Mrs. Liu had a dream and firmly believed that Liu Fubao was a lucky star. She has doted on her all these years. However, that girl is very strange. Wangyou, you should not have anything to do with her unless necessary."
"What's so strange about this?" Wangyou asked, very curious.
"For some reason, those who are on good terms with the Liu family tend to be unlucky. When one family is unlucky, the Liu family will be lucky. For example, Fu Bao might pick up a wild rabbit or pheasant."
Because of this, the villagers initially wanted to benefit from it, but later, when they suffered misfortune, they began to distance themselves.
Wangyou listened attentively, and at the end she remarked that such a small brigade of cotton-padded jackets was truly full of hidden talents, with all sorts of strange and wonderful people among them.
A few days later, big news came to the village: someone from the neighboring Flower Pants Brigade had gotten a divorce!
Divorce is big news these days. People would rather grit their teeth and get through it than get divorced. So when a couple suddenly gets divorced, it's bound to cause a sensation.
The key point is that the person who got divorced didn't feel ashamed at all, and publicized it widely. So everyone in the Huamian'ao Brigade knew about it, and not just the Huamian'ao Brigade, but several brigades in the vicinity knew about it.
