In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

When his wife first mentioned Jiang Xingchen, he thought the girl was quite interesting, but now...

Haha... It's quite interesting. Not only is Jiang Xingchen interesting, but his wife is even cuter.

What followed was Luo Yu's wild speculations about his parents.

Starting with the assumption that she wasn't their biological child and that her original family must be better off than the Luo family, then guessing that her original family might be from Beijing, and further guessing that the Luo parents' purpose in switching the child was likely related to spies, that her original family might be high-ranking officials in Beijing, or even in the military, and that they switched the child to steal intelligence, and that they would be going to Beijing to reunite with their relatives soon? It's certain.

Perfect. Luo Yu has completely framed Luo's parents as spies.

The Luo family and Gu Jianguo were dumbfounded again, just listening to Luo Yu's nonsense. When she finished speaking and heard that she had called Luo's father and mother spies, the Luo family finally reacted and rushed towards Luo Yu to cover her mouth.

"Shut up!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

You're talking nonsense.

"you shut up."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh no, I'm going crazy!"

……

Xi Beizhan couldn't let the Luo family touch Luo Yu. He turned around and stood up, standing on the kang (a heated brick bed) to protect Luo Yu behind him, facing the Luo family members directly.

"Everyone back off, or I'll call the police."

Xi Beizhan is a very shrewd man, and it's not a good time to make a move. If he accidentally hurts someone in the chaos, he won't be able to explain himself later.

It's not worth risking your life for these bastards.

If resorting to force doesn't work, then he'll just issue a warning; after all, he won't allow the Luo family to touch Luo Yu.

Seeing Xi Beizhan blocking Luo Yu's path, and Luo Yu indeed falling silent, the crowd stopped advancing. They knew that if a fight broke out, all of them combined wouldn't be a match for Xi Beizhan, especially with the troublesome Luo Yu to deal with. They knew they would be the ones who suffered in the end.

Mr. Luo sighed helplessly, "Fifth son, what exactly are you trying to do? Can't you just stay quiet during the New Year?"

"The work issue happened a year ago, is it really necessary to still hold a grudge? We're still your parents, aren't we?"

Luo Yu pushed Xi Beizhan aside, stood on the kang (a heated brick bed), and sneered, "Parents? You have the nerve to call yourself my parents?"

Go out and see, which parents are as biased as you? Apart from those families that are extremely sexist, no parents would push their own daughter into a fire, right?

Do you know what going to the countryside means? Do you know that going to the countryside means doing farm work from morning till night? Ask Lao Si how she's spent the past year.

"By the way, fourth brother, I also wanted to ask you something. You said your job was tiring and asked me to give it up so you could go to the countryside instead, saying it was too tiring and you were doing it for my own good. Now I'm asking you, is doing farm work in the countryside more tiring, or is working at home more tiring?"

Luo Li lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before Luo Li could speak, Luo Yu waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question."

Luo Li had no choice but to close her eyes.

I'll risk everything to get back to the city.

When Luo Li opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with bitterness. "Going to the countryside is tiring. Winter is okay, though. There's not much work to do except go out to clear snow and dig ditches."

When spring arrives, we are busy in the fields every day, with no spare time. Even the easiest task, weeding, requires squatting in the fields from morning till night. When we come back from work each day, our backs are so sore that we can't straighten up, and we don't want to move when we lie on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Moreover, the summer sun is strong, and my face gets so sunburned that it peels. I dare not wear short sleeves and have to wear long sleeves to work, otherwise I will get heatstroke.

The autumn harvest was even more tiring; we had to get up before dawn to work and wouldn't finish until dark.

Moreover, when they returned to the educated youth settlement, they had to cook for themselves. Although everyone ate together and took turns cooking, the cook was more tired because they had to prepare food for 30 or 40 people, which would take at least two hours to finish. By the time they could eat, it was usually 8 p.m., and they had to eat in the dark. After all, kerosene cost money, and even if they had money, they didn't have coupons. If they didn't save money, they would have to find a way to get coupons from the black market.

Besides these, the educated youth settlement also had private plots. If you wanted to eat vegetables for free, you had to grow them yourself. Everyone in the educated youth settlement had to work together to grow these vegetables. If you were lazy, you couldn't eat them.

After the autumn harvest, we still need to go up the mountain to collect wild produce, such as chestnuts, hazelnuts, and jujubes, which can be used as food. If we collect more, we can sell them for money. If someone in the family sends money for mail, we can save some effort and don't have to go. If our family doesn't send money for mail, we have to rely on ourselves.

Fifth brother, I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have tried to take your job and send you to the countryside to suffer. I didn't expect going to the countryside to be so tiring. I only found out when I got there.

Fortunately, it was winter when I went there, and I took a break for a few months before I officially started working in the fields in April.

From April to November, I was exhausted for those few months and lost over ten pounds. See, am I much thinner than before?

Luo Li gave a self-deprecating laugh, but seeing that Luo Yu was still looking at her with cold eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little downcast. In the end, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

"What's the use of saying sorry now? You've wronged me for so many things since we were little, it's not just this one."

You've now realized the mistake in this one thing, but what about the others?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I will never forgive you, because if I hadn't stood up for myself last time and left home, you would still have made me go to the countryside.

Luo Li, our sisterly bond was severed the first time you bullied me. We've grown up; there's no going back.

The original owner is already dead, why bring this up? She's just a usurper, what right does she have to forgive the Luo family on behalf of the original owner!

Luo Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at her mother again.

"Mom, I know you've never liked me all these years, just because I don't have a sister or brother who was born with me, and because you had a difficult childbirth when you gave birth to me, which almost made you unable to have any more children. That's why you've always hated me."

But I want to ask, did I ask you to give birth to me? Did I ask you to get pregnant?

Did I beg you to give birth to me? Or am I not your biological child at all?

Logically speaking, I don't have any siblings born with me, so I was already a bit lonely. Moreover, I was very weak when I was born, and the doctor said that I would be difficult to raise.

If you don't say you're biased towards me, at least treat me like a human being!

You're so mean, always putting me down. You take your frustrations out on me at the slightest provocation. You've made me do housework since I was little. Out of seven children, six of them can go out and play, but I'm the only one standing on a stool doing chores for you.

For eighteen years, my efforts have not earned me a single bit of your love. You wouldn't even give me an egg, and you deliberately ignored my birthday, let alone meat.

I remember when I was six, it was my dad's birthday, which happened to coincide with his promotion. To celebrate, the family bought meat, and you made braised pork that day. Everyone in the family got a piece, but there wasn't any left for me. You even poured the broth into rice porridge for the sixth child.
