It’s not that others criticize her appearance. Chen Jiajia has dark skin. Even if her facial features are good, she is not good-looking at all, not to mention that her facial features are not very coordinated.
Even if they were to go against their conscience, they couldn't bring themselves to praise her as "pretty". No one praised her, and Chen Jiajia was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She was in a bad mood, and her brother and sister-in-law were in an even worse mood. When she came back, the meat in the house was gone. It was obvious who took the meat out, and the couple had another fight because of the meat she took out.
As soon as she came back, Huang Lanhua asked, "Where is the meat? Where did it go?" Her husband's allowance had to support the whole family, and the meat tickets issued by the army had to be sent back home. Her son kept shouting that he wanted to eat meat, and she had exchanged the meat tickets with other sisters-in-law. As a result, the meat was gone before he could even eat it when she came back. How could Huang Lanhua not be angry?
Chen Jiajia threw the meat on the table. "Isn't it just a piece of meat? Why are you talking to me so harshly? Sister-in-law, you are so stingy. Brother, look at how your sister-in-law treats me. You and mother promised me that you would take good care of me when I came here, but you two are giving me a cold shoulder. I'm going to tell mother."
Chen Wei was also very annoyed. "Go, go, tell mom quickly, I will buy a ticket to send you back home."
Ever since this girl came, the couple has been quarreling all the time, and Chen Wei is tired of it. As her brother, he wants to pick a good man for her, but she is picky and doesn't like men of lower status. She also thinks that he, as her brother, doesn't wish her well, and she has no peace of mind when she returns home.
When she heard her brother was going to buy her a ticket home, Chen Jiajia instantly became honest and her previous arrogance disappeared. "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lost my temper with my sister-in-law. Please don't be angry, okay? I think the meat is too small. I wanted to take it out and exchange it for a bigger one so that you can have a good meal. But the meat is sold out and I can't buy it, so I can only take the meat back."
In the afternoon, Shen Shuyu was woken up by Gu Jiandong, who sent her to school before returning.
Shen Shuyu has to teach two grades, with two classes in each grade. She teaches two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. The courses are easy and Shen Shuyu does not feel tired.
While giving a lecture to students, Shen Shuyu's gaze drifted out the window and she saw a child listening with his ear pressed against the window. Shen Shuyu went out to see what was going on, but the child ran away as soon as he saw her come out.
The children in the classroom chattered, "Teacher Shen, I know who he is."
"I know too."
"Teacher Shen, we all know him. His name is Lin Shitou. He wants to go to school, but his stepmother won't let him. So he comes to school every day to eavesdrop on our classes. After school, he even asks us to borrow books.
His stepmother was very cruel to him. She beat him every day and wouldn't let him speak out. I saw her stabbing him and his sister with needles several times."
"I saw his stepmother scolding him. She was really nasty, saying he was a son of a bitch and could never be tamed."
"His stepmother buys clothes for Lin Yaozu but never for him..."
The children talked to each other, and Shen Shuyu understood the general idea. Having a stepmother means having a stepfather, which is a very common situation in the village.
After that, Shen Shuyu often saw Lin Shitou secretly listening to the class outside the window. Knowing that the child would run away if she went out, Shen Shuyu did not go out, but the lecture voice was louder than usual and the speed was a little slower.
When Shen Shuyu had nothing to do at home, she would visit Wang Saozi's house next door. When talking about Lin Shitou, Wang Saozi slapped her thigh and said, "That child is so pitiful. His mother died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to his sister. Before the seventh day, his father Lin Hai married another wife.
He didn't care about the brother and sister, he married a new wife and brought her to the army. In less than two months, he had a wife. Lin Hai had completely forgotten about his two children in the countryside.
Shitou was only a few years old and had to take care of his newborn sister. How could he do that? His aunt had to come to help take care of her. His aunt's family was not doing well either. There were a lot of children at home, all of whom were crying with hunger. She really couldn't afford to raise them.
Only then did he inquire about ways to send his two nephews to the army, wanting them to live with their father.
Fearing that they would be wronged in the army, his uncle and aunt publicized how ruthless Lin Hai was in the army, and even asked the leaders to make a decision.
Lin Hai had no shortage of sons. The wife he married later gave birth to a son for him. However, his wife did not agree to let the two children marry into the family. She wanted to send the children and their uncle and aunt back to the countryside.
It was only because the army leaders stepped in that they had to leave the two children behind for their future.
He also made his uncle and aunt very happy that the child could stay in the army and would not have to suffer from hunger and cold with them. They didn't know that the couple were both black-hearted.
It would be better to live in the countryside than to follow them. At least there are people who love you there. Look at what kind of life you have in the army. Your father hates your stepmother, and your status in the family is even lower than that of the chickens and geese you raise.
Zhang Honghua thought that everyone didn't know about the good things she did for her step-son and step-daughter, and she pretended to be nice to them behind their backs.
They acted as if they were blind. The brother and sister were skinny and wore tattered clothes. They didn't even have a decent cotton coat for winter. They were not allowed to go to school even when they were old enough, so Shitou had to learn secretly. It was obvious that the couple didn't treat the two children well.
