Era: Being dressed as cannon fodder makes a real daughter

Chapter 8
Seeing Xie Daidi's bearish look, Wang Cuihua's simmering anger, which had been met with disdain by Xie Zhong, was directed towards her.

He randomly picked up a stick as thick as his thumb in the yard and slapped Xie Daidi on her head and face.

Xie Daidi, who only smoked, cried loudly and begged for mercy, running around the yard, and Wang Cuihua did not stop.

However, because of such a fuss, Xie Zhibao, who was still rolling on the ground, finally stopped crying.

Instead, he sat up, clapped his hands and watched excitedly as his grandma beat his third sister with a stick.

"Hit... milk, hit hard, beat this loser to death."

Xie Daidi endured the bruises on her body, and was confused. Why did her younger brother let her grandma hit her?

Isn't she good enough to her little brother?

It wasn't until Wang Cuihua broke the stick in her hand that she calmed down a little, and then pulled Xie Zhibao, who was smiling happily at the side, back to the house, leaving only Xie Daidi lying in the yard with scars all over her body, crying silently.

Xie Zhong didn't pay any attention to the farce in the yard next door.

His grandfather, Xie Changfu, was once a housekeeper of a wealthy family, and he and Wang Cuihua's man, Xie Changlu, were direct brothers.

Later, the rich family ran away and dispersed. Xie Changfu could only take Xie Zhong back to the Chengjiawan Brigade, just because his brother Xie Changlu was here.

Xie Changfu originally had a good plan. He thought that with relatives around, it would be good for them and their grandchildren to have someone to help them.

After all, there are only two people in their family, grandfather and grandson. They are somewhat weak in the village.

It's a pity that in the end Xie Changfu never expected that it would be this so-called brother who stabbed him in the back.

Because Xie Changfu brought some money back from his master's house, he built a house with green bricks and green tiles in Chengjiawan Brigade.

Just because of this, Xie Changlu was jealous.

Xie Zhong and his grandson were directly judged to be wealthy households. From then on, this brick house was occupied by Wang Cuihua and his family.

Only two side rooms in the corner were left for the grandfather and grandson to live in. Xie Changlu was unwilling to give them to him in order to silence the people in the village.

I don’t know if it’s because people’s hearts are too evil. When Xie Chong was ten years old, Xie Changlu died in an accident in the mountains.

After Xie Changlu died, Xie Changfu, who seemed to be holding his breath, also fell ill.

It didn't take two years and he was dead.

Therefore, Xie Zhong has become a real loner since he was 12 years old.

The village had originally thought of letting Xie Zhong live with Wang Cuihua's family.

However, after Xie Changfu died, Wang Cuihua searched the two side rooms inside and outside, but she couldn't find even a penny.

Naturally, she refused to take Xie Zhong into her home.

Therefore, the final result is that Xie Zhong lives alone in a side house and fends for himself.

Liu Zhishu looked at him pitifully and asked his wife to secretly stuff Xie Zhong some food from time to time.

Although Party Secretary Liu asked his wife to secretly feed him something to eat, he was still young and at the age where he was living in poverty.

Therefore, Xie Zhong secretly went up the mountain to find some wild fruits and game. As long as he could eat, he stuffed them all to fill his stomach.

The days went by like this, and Xie Zhong was no longer the thin and small person he was before.

Moreover, as early as when Xie Zhong was 16 years old, he called Party Secretary Liu for help and separated a wall between the two side houses where he lived and the house where Wang Cuihua's family lived, and opened a separate gate for himself to facilitate entry and exit. .

For this reason, Wang Cuihua often clapped her hands and legs on the other side of the wall and cursed Xie Zhong and his dead grandfather.

After hearing this, Xie Chong did not refute, but waited until late at night, secretly climbed over the wall, swallowed all the egg-laying hens raised by Wang Cuihua, and sprinkled the chicken blood on the door of Wang Cuihua and her sons' rooms. .Then he ran to the mountain and roasted all the old hens and ate them.

Because of this, Wang Cuihua had no intention of scolding Xie Zhong, and instead cursed the thief who stole her old hen.

However, I only dared to curse secretly in my heart.

Because the other party not only stole the chicken, but also sprinkled the chicken blood in front of the door of their mother's house, Wang Cuihua's family was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would be so frightened that they would hide in bed and tremble, fearing that they had offended some ruthless person who would come to take revenge on their whole family.

This time, Xie Zhong's thoughts were all on Tian Baozhu.

Thinking that when he met her again today, and the other party looked like she didn't recognize him, Xie Zhong felt as if there was a rope pulling in his heart, strangely tight.

Thinking back to what happened the day before yesterday, his face suddenly turned red and his back molars clenched involuntarily.

That woman, she must have done it on purpose.

Tian Baozhu was in a good mood before going to town.

She walked for almost two hours, and the soles of her feet felt like they were on fire, before she finally reached the town.

However, when I looked at the rows of short houses, I didn't see any two-story houses.

There is only one street in the whole town. From the street to the end of the street, the post office, supply and marketing cooperative, and state-owned restaurants are all on this street.

There is a primary school on the other side of the street. Children from several nearby brigades all study in this primary school.

On the south side of the street, there is a brick and tile factory run by the commune.

There are only about a dozen small thatched sheds and four or five earthen kilns. They rely on manual work. Not only is the labor intensity high, the output is still low.

There are not many workers inside, most of them are temporary workers, but even so, they are still jobs that are competed for by various brigades.

The bricks and tiles needed by several brigades to build houses are basically pulled from here.

On the north side of the street is the commune's agricultural machinery station.

It was said to be an agricultural machinery laboratory, but there was only one tractor inside, which the leaders of the company treasured to death.

Tian Baozhu walked from the street to the end of the street, trying to find anyone who could buy the things in her space.

Tian Baozhu couldn't help but become a little anxious when thinking about Haikou that he and Party Secretary Liu had boasted about.

However, although the town is almost two hours away from Chengjiawan Brigade, Tian Baozhu is still afraid of being recognized.

So, I found a hidden place and entered the space.

First, she went to her parents' house and picked out a piece of her father's clothes for herself to wear.

Then I daubed it again, painted my face yellow, and darkened my eyebrows. I also found a hat to wear.

Then from the kitchen, after much thought, he took the knife of about four kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of rice. After finding a basket and putting it in, he took a new towel from the bathroom and covered it with only the exposed A corner.

After Tian Baozhu came out of the space, he was hunched over and walked slowly towards the residential area with a basket in his hand.

Although it is said to be a residential area, it is actually only a small piece of land.

Before Tian Baozhu got close, he saw an aunt staring at her and her basket with bright eyes, full of scrutiny and vigilance.

Seeing this, Tian Baozhu was very glad that she had just entered the space to dress up.
