Chapter 157 is about the iron chains in the pigsty and the grave mound at the foot of the mountain.
"Wow, a great unity!" Qiao Manman exclaimed with great surprise for two seconds, then rubbed her hands together and started counting.
"Fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty, two hundred!"
There's a whole two hundred yuan! Could it be the bride price from the Lu family?
Ah, no, no, no, she wants 666 yuan as a bride price, 200 yuan isn't enough!
Qiao Manman happily put the money away, then her consciousness sank into her spatial dimension to rummage through things and prepare a return gift for the Lu family in Kyoto.
"What should I send? Something too expensive won't do, and something too cheap won't do either."
Qiao Manman frowned more and more, and finally decided to send a box of apples and pomegranates.
And you can't find the ones that are in particularly good condition.
Fortunately, the system was very helpful and found some fruits that were suitable for this era for her.
Not wanting to be stingy, Qiao Manman also bought two jin of pork jerky. She filled the jar to the brim and then went to sleep contentedly.
In her dream, she saw Comrade Xiao Lu, who had disappeared without a trace, pressing her against the wall and making love to her.
I woke up with a sob, and it was already broad daylight.
Qiao Manman took a stroll around the hospital, then went about her own business.
What's up? Writing an article. I'm a freelance reporter for the provincial newspaper, and it's been a while since I submitted any articles there.
On the one hand, I'm busy learning technology and doing development, so my energy is limited.
On the other hand, there were also no good topics, and I didn't want to waste time.
But now, she wants to write a novel.
It uses a clichéd trope from later generations, saying that there was a brother and sister in the city, the sister was beautiful and talented, and the brother was handsome and strong.
The two responded to the policy and went to the countryside in the mountains, but they were spotted by the young men in the village just two days after they arrived.
Men want to marry older sisters, and women want to marry younger brothers.
But both siblings have fiancés; one is a border guard, and the other is an educated youth from the neighboring production team.
The team members were unwilling to give up, but they were suppressed by the captain and dared not make any rash moves.
One day, the older sister was pushed into the river. A group of men rushed to jump into the river, but their family members stopped the younger brother from saving her.
Finally, the older sister was swayed by the rumors in the village and married the first lame old widower who had ever embraced her.
The younger brother protested, but the villagers were unanimous in their opinions: "She's already a slut, how could her fiancé, a military officer, be happy to be cuckolded?"
Despite saying that, I was particularly worried that my younger brother would call the police.
A group of people watched the brother and sister day and night until the wedding day. The sister was forced into the bridal chamber, and the brother was drugged and drunk. When he woke up, he found a naked, mentally challenged woman lying next to him.
Before the sister's problem was resolved, the brother was also forced to marry a mentally challenged woman.
No one stood up for them. When the topic came up, the villagers said they were lucky to have married into a wealthy family and never had to worry about food or drink.
In reality, the siblings had to get up before dawn to cook for the whole family, then feed the chickens and pigs, wash the family's clothes, and at night they had to act as sex toys for one person or the whole family.
Two babies in three years, three in five years. SOS letters sent to the city went unanswered, while packages sent from the city filled the pockets of both families.
As time passed, the siblings were driven to mental instability by the torment, while two geniuses emerged in the village.
One child consistently ranked first in every exam at a young age, and the other possessed a melodious singing voice, making a name for herself in the cultural troupe's recruitment process.
The article ends with images of iron chains in a pigsty, graves at the foot of the mountain, tombstones in a martyrs' cemetery, and a woman who never married.
Qiao Manman ends the story here.
He spoke in a very calm tone throughout, yet it was tragic and oppressive.
Qiao Manman didn't know if this story could be published, but since she had already written it, she might as well give it a try.
After drying the letter and putting it in an envelope, Qiao Manman got up and went to the post office.
A letter was sent to the newspaper office, and a package was sent to Kyoto. Qiao Manman walked out of the post office and stretched in the sunset.
After having dinner at a state-run restaurant, I strolled slowly to the city hospital.
A week later, the expert team made a breakthrough, formulated a preliminary treatment plan, and implemented it.
After treatment, Yan Chengke and Guo Youfeng's desires were basically suppressed, and they only occasionally felt unbearable, which they had to suppress with strong willpower.
Experts say the two cannot get married until the poisoning is completely cured.
Guo Youfeng blushed, and even Yan Chengke wished he could disappear into the ground.
However, the two valued their lives highly. They cooperated with the experts in conducting experiments on them every day, and when they felt well, they would even get out of bed to exercise.
Once Qiao Manman was certain that the two were safe, she took a package and said goodbye to Li Minghua.
"Uncle Li, I have to go back to work now. This is a gift I prepared for you."
Inside the package were two bottles of honey and a small ginseng root.
Well, it's not the kind that grows in the space; it's the kind that's been signed in and cultivated artificially for twenty or thirty years.
When Li Minghua saw what was in the package, he quickly refused: "It's too valuable, too valuable. You can take this back and eat it yourself. I'll just take the honey."
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "Uncle Li, kindness cannot be measured in money. My father can now get up and walk a few steps; everyone says it's a medical miracle."
"Please accept this; it's not very old. When I'm able to, I'll find you a better one."
Li Minghua smiled broadly, then shook his head helplessly: "When we get back to Kyoto, Lao Lu will be so envious of me!"
Qiao Manman was a little shy. She chatted with the other person for a while and then left.
I took the bus home, and it took more than two hours of bumpy travel to reach Yang County.
He jogged home, locked the doors and windows, slipped into the space, and headed straight for the villa's bathroom.
I've missed it a week since I last came in. Qiao Manman took a nice bath and then went for a swim in the terrace pool.
Feeling completely relaxed and all her fatigue gone, Qiao Manman got up, went to the kitchen, and cooked herself a big meal.
After finishing her meal at the dining table, Qiao Manman changed into a black woolen coat and went to the factory to cancel her leave.
After reporting the situation of Yan Chengke and Guo Youfeng to Miao Shoujun, Director Miao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the two were recovering.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, when are you coming back to work? The machine factory is like a soulless place without you!"
Qiao Manman knew that he was afraid of being scolded by his superiors and wanted to make some achievements as soon as possible to change their impression of him.
She smiled and nodded, "Is tomorrow afternoon okay? I'd like to go home and see my parents!"
A hint of guilt appeared in Miao Shoujun's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "It's my duty, it's my duty, it was my oversight!"
Take two days off and come back. Please give my regards to your parents!
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and left the factory manager's office. She got on her bicycle and rode towards Qingshan Brigade, heading towards the setting sun.
The autumn sun sets early; it gets dark as soon as you leave the county town.
Qiao Manman took out a package from her spatial storage, which contained fruit and meat.
A moment later, we arrived at the foot of the mountain, and from a distance, we could hear Big Yellow's cheerful barking.
He Nian came out wrapped in her clothes and saw Qiao Manman's figure in the distance. She hurriedly went up to greet her: "Are you hungry? Are you cold?"
"It's alright!" Qiao Manman bolted the door, bent down and patted Big Yellow's head: "How have you and Dad been these past few days?"
He Nian smiled and said, "It's fine."
Qiao Manman followed her into the room and saw Qiao Runming writing furiously by the dim candlelight.
