Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Jiang Yun and his siblings also signed up for the commune's health worker training and selection program. For them, having this title and the freedom to enter and leave the commune and brigade was already a great convenience.

Of course, it would be best if they could pass the exam, but if they didn't, they could still take care of some things during their study period, so they wouldn't lose out either way.

Especially after Xiong Baoguo joined them, their future actions would be much more convenient.

After getting a general idea of ​​their itinerary, Feng Qingqing quietly left the cave and headed back. Now that she knew their plan, she needed to think about her next move and make preparations.

After returning to the educated youth settlement, Feng Qingqing quickly washed up and went to bed.

Although she was on the kang (heated brick bed), Feng Qingqing was not sleepy at all. She was thinking that even if Jiang Yun hadn't come, he would still have been able to make a name for himself in the countryside.

such a pity.

As Feng Qingqing pondered her plan, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Early in the morning, Feng Qingqing and Hu Fangming finished washing up and strolled leisurely toward the brigade headquarters.

Tomorrow, Feng Qingqing will be going to the commune for training. For the next week, Hu Fangming will be the only one working in the fields. Thinking of this, Hu Fangming's face crumpled with bitterness. But when she thought about how others who went to the countryside during the autumn harvest would at least suffer a lot, she was able to eat and drink well every day, and the work was worth eight or nine work points and not tiring at all. She wondered which deity she had prayed to in her past life.

She has always believed that Feng Qingqing is her lucky charm.

"We should be content," Hu Fangming sighed helplessly, especially since if Feng Qingqing were selected, her good days would be over.

Feng Qingqing found it amusing to watch Hu Fangming sigh and make various expressions.

Because she had something on her mind, Feng Qingqing didn't say much during the day while working, but she couldn't resist the eloquent Aunt Zheng next to her, and she heard everything she was told.

Especially regarding the gossip about the He family, Aunt Zheng would tirelessly bring it up again and again, making it impossible for you to miss it.

I heard that after Old He's family was emptied out, they had no choice but to borrow grain from the brigade. However, their youngest son's leg still needed to be changed at the commune hospital from time to time, and they had no money to treat it. So they had to call their eldest daughter, who was married to someone in the commune, back. I heard that they borrowed some money, and the family was able to get by temporarily.

At this point, even Aunt Zheng, who always disliked the He family, couldn't bring herself to say a word against He Yongxia, the eldest daughter of the He family.

At home, she was a smart and hardworking girl. After graduating from junior high school, she was even admitted to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative as a saleswoman, which made all the girls and wives in the surrounding villages envious.

Later, through an introduction, she met Zhong Xingye, who worked in the commune. They got married, had children, and completely escaped rural life, now able to eat marketable grain.

As Feng Qingqing thought of He Yongxia, a meaningful smile silently appeared on her lips.

That girl is no ordinary person; she's a truly intelligent one. Otherwise, how come the entire He family has such a bad reputation, but everyone thinks He Yongxia is a good girl? She was just dragged down by the He family.

Sure enough, when her family suffered a disaster, she immediately returned, bringing both goods and money. She's truly a well-known good girl in the village.

But at this moment, He Yongxia, the good girl, was out of sight of outsiders, and looked at her parents with a gloomy expression.

Old Mrs. He, however, felt somewhat guilty and dared not meet her gaze, but she still said everything she needed to say:

“Xia, it’s not that I’m forcing you, it’s just that our family has really suffered a great disaster. We’re practically broke right now, and your little brother has broken his leg. That’s exactly when we need money for treatment. We can’t let this delay his leg treatment. This is a life-altering matter.”

When she mentioned her youngest son's leg, she became quite emotional.

He Yongxia knew that at this point, she had to borrow the money whether she wanted to or not, but the anger she felt was so strong that she just couldn't let it go, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Her parents never considered how difficult her life must have been after marrying into such a family. She had to be careful and attentive every day, respecting her in-laws and caring for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, all while constantly worrying about being looked down upon by them.

Now that this has suddenly happened and she's borrowed such a large sum of money, how is she supposed to stay in her husband's family after this?

But remembering her mother's implicit threat, she didn't dare say anything more and agreed to lend them fifty yuan.

The reason why He Yongxia, a smart woman, was so easily threatened by her parents and yet remained completely under their control is related to He Yong'an, who had already separated from the family.

It turns out that He Yongxia was very thoughtful when she was a child. She observed the lives of the girls around her and knew that if she did not want to live the same life as them, working hard in the fields, she could only study hard and pass the exam to get a stable job in the commune.

But He Dashan and his wife were extremely sexist, and they would never allow a girl to go to school except for their son.

So He Yongxia thought of her older brother, He Yong'an, who had never been favored since childhood. She knew it was impossible for her parents to pay for her schooling, but if she could get her brother to do manual labor to earn money for her schooling, and give the remaining money to her parents to keep, then not only would her parents not have to pay for her education, but the family would also have extra income. After she shared her idea, her parents thought it was feasible, since they wouldn't lose anything.

It's important to know that He Yong'an isn't stupid; otherwise, he wouldn't have saved so much money on the side. After wanting his parents' love from a young age but never receiving it, he gradually gave up on that idea as he grew older.

He went from wholeheartedly devoting himself to his family at the beginning to becoming perfunctory in the end. No matter how his parents scolded or beat him, it was no use. Eventually, the elderly couple gave up. After all, they still needed to earn work points.

But He Yongxia was clever, sweet-talking, and good at pretending. She had always been two-faced since childhood. In addition, no one in that family paid any attention to him except He Yongxia. Occasionally, when he came back, she would slip him a dark-colored steamed bun. How could his feelings for her be different?

A year before He Yongxia was to go to junior high school in the commune, she went to He Yong'an and cried. He Yong'an was soft-hearted and, after all, was the only sister in the family who was good to him. He couldn't bear it and agreed to earn money to support her junior high school education for the next three years.

That led to my later work repairing dikes, digging reservoirs, and working as a temporary worker in a brick factory. These were all physically demanding jobs, and after a few months of work, you'd be skinned alive.

Three years passed like this. He Yongxia finished junior high school, and He Yong'an did not continue.

In the past three years, He Yong'an has earned enough money not only to cover He Yongxia's tuition fees, but also to pay for the tuition fees of his two younger children.

For reasons unknown, He Yongxia suggested to her parents that they temporarily prevent her older brother from getting married. This was inconsistent with her usual public image. Therefore, when her parents used this as a subtle threat, He Yongxia had no choice but to agree to lend them money.

Although at that time, even if He Yongxia hadn't brought it up, the old couple wouldn't have arranged a wedding for He Yong'an, the fact that He Yongxia brought it up changed the whole situation.

It's important to know that her in-laws had investigated her before agreeing to let her into the family. Besides Zhong Xingye's own choice, her reputation was also a major factor.

The commune was so close, she didn't want these messy things to get back to the commune, especially her husband's family.
