Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 2 Living for Face
Mom kept forcing me to apologize, but I firmly refused.

"A person can't ruin his whole life just because of face. I want to break up with him and call off the engagement."

"I have no ability to snatch him back, but I have learned to be stubborn!" My mother rushed over angrily and wanted to hit me, but my elder brother hurriedly pulled me behind.

Mommy's hand poked his forehead: "You two, brother and sister, want to drive me to death, right? Qiaozhen was dumped, how about you? You don't want many girls in the village, and you only have sex with that mourner every day." Hook up, when can you break up with her?"

Seeing that my brother didn't speak, my mother went back to the house and started throwing plates and bowls and crying.

This is her repertoire. If we don't follow her wishes, there will be a big scene, just to force us to listen to her.

But this time I ignored her, and my elder brother didn't speak, just chopping pig grass vigorously.

The bereaved star my mother mentioned was Lin Cailian, a widow in the village. She and my brother hit it off, but because my mother disliked her identity, she insisted on breaking them up.I didn't want them to be together in my previous life, and I even went to Lin Cailian's house to make trouble.

In the end, the eldest brother could only marry a woman he didn't love. He lived a life of chaos, and passed away with hatred when he was less than fifty.

I was very sad in my heart, choked up and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

The elder brother rubbed my hair: "What stupid thing are you talking about? I haven't eaten for two days, so I must be hungry. I just saw some dough pancakes on the stove at the back. I'll bring them here..."

My mother immediately shouted through the glass window; "This is for her second sister-in-law Liu Ye. She is pregnant now and needs to supplement nutrition. What kind of fine grains does a dead girl who can't get married eat?"

I snorted angrily: "If you don't eat, you don't eat, who cares!"

"Okay, if you have the backbone, don't eat my family's food for the rest of your life, and I will serve you!"

"I also farm and do farm work, why can't I eat it? My second brother doesn't do anything, why do you still send it over on a pole? No other mother has ever seen her so mean to her daughter!"

The eldest brother quickly advised me: "You were quarreled, don't get angry with mom."

"Whatever you say is useless, I just won't give it to you! Girls from other people's families can still get dozens of yuan as gifts for parents! If you can, I will let you break the engagement, you go get money!" My mother came out angrily.

I sneered: "So you are just worried about not getting the gift money. What is the difference between you and selling girls?"

"Are you talking back to me?" She came towards me, and my brother hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Mom took out those cakes and walked out, muttering, "I won't let you eat if I'm bitten by a mouse!"

I thought to myself, if you don't give me food, will I be hungry?I went to the backyard and dug out some potatoes. When I went to the kitchen, I saw some sparks in the stove. I was overjoyed. I threw the potatoes in and buried them with unburned firewood. After a while, the aroma of roasted potatoes came out.

I took out one and opened it to have a look. It was full of golden-yellow inner flesh, and the hot air was wrapped in a sweet fragrance.

I handed one to my eldest brother, and then I sat with him, eating delicious potatoes.

The elder brother suddenly laughed and said, "Why are you different from before? If your mother said that about you, you must go on a hunger strike."

"From now on, I won't wrong myself." I saw my mother entered the second brother's yard, and asked where they went.

The eldest brother said: "It's at home, your second sister-in-law Liu Ye is not feeling well, and she came back after returning to her mother's house earlier."

I knew in my heart that my brother and sister-in-law would not be ignorant of such a big disturbance.It's just that they have been flattering Du Cheng. Now that he's back from the army, he might go to the city. Of course, he needs to establish a good relationship, so he won't hide out for two days just because I offended someone useful.

The eldest brother said: "Mom says you can bear with it, she feels sad when something like this happened, and her words are a bit harsh."

"She's not sad, she's just that I've lost her face." And I know she's not joking either, back then, she kept mocking me and driving me away.I can only agree to marry Yu Hongcai, in order to get out of here as soon as possible.

After the eldest brother ate the potatoes, he went to get the bucket and pole: "I'll go get some water, and the big tank has bottomed out."

"Let me go, I have always done these jobs." I wanted to grab the pole.

But the elder brother didn't want to: "The rumors about you and Du Cheng are spreading, and those people in the village have such vicious mouths, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

I smiled: "I can't stay at home forever, let me tell you, Mom must go to the second brother to clean up, you can go see Sister Cailian while he won't come back for a while, Mom has been in strict control recently, so you didn't go there, did you?"

The eldest brother was stunned and didn't react for a while, but the expression on his face showed that he was very excited.

I smiled and said, "People can't live for face all the time, the most important thing is their own happiness. Go find her."

The eldest brother finally nodded and said: "Okay, if someone in the village says something too harsh, don't bother me, I'll come back and settle the score with them for you."

"I know it. You go!" I pushed my elder brother out.

I took a few deep breaths, then picked up the pole and bucket, bolted the door and left.

Along the way, I met some folks who looked at me with strange eyes, and some pointed at me. Some were surprised, some gloated, and some dared not talk to me because they were afraid of my embarrassment.

There are also some people who like to pass on their wives' tongues and talk behind my back: "I was dumped for doing so well! Shame on me!"

"Isn't it? I won't be able to find a partner in our village in the future. If you want to marry, you can only marry a widower."

In my previous life, it was because of these rumors that I didn’t dare to go out. I was sad, but I kept my head up and walked forward. I told myself, what’s the big deal, I can get through it.

The well in the village is in the middle of the village. From a distance, I saw several village women chatting by the well, fetching water, washing vegetables, and washing clothes. It is an important place for villagers to gossip.

A dark and thin woman in a flowered shirt was hitting the bed sheet with a mallet, talking excitedly, and her voice was heard far away.That person is Duan Qiuyue.

"Marriage with the wrong household is just not good. I really thought I could climb a high branch, and I didn't even look at how poor the family is. They wouldn't be so stupid!"

Someone said in a low voice: "She is very sad, don't talk about it."

Duan Qiuyue said in a sharp voice: "Whoever makes her keep posting upside down, I will feel sorry for her!"

Seeing me coming, several women all coughed and reported to her.

Duan Qiuyue had no shame on her face, curled her lips and continued to wash clothes.

I put down the pole and took the initiative to say hello to them: "You are all here, aunt, have you eaten yet?"

Duan Qiuyue raised her head and said with a smile, "I've eaten, but I haven't seen you for two days. Why didn't you come out?" It was obvious that I was asking for a reason, and everyone was looking at me.

I smiled and went over with the bucket: "My mother thought I caused trouble at Du's house that day, and locked me up for two days. I was indeed too impulsive."

She didn't expect that I would bring this up by myself, so she couldn't help being taken aback.

Gao Yue, the wife of a carpenter in the village, said with a smile, "Qiaoer, it's really not a big deal, it's just that you're engaged and not married, just look for it, and you really want to open it."

I laughed and said, "Auntie, what you said was that I was so troublesome at the time. What I knew was that I was retiring the engagement. What I didn't know was that I thought it was a life lawsuit."

Duan Qiuyue hurriedly said: "Then you haven't worked for others for nothing for three years? Even if you hire a long-term worker, how much do you need? How can you be so reckless?"

I knew she was stabbing me in the heart on purpose, but I still smiled and said: "Auntie, Du Cheng went to serve as a soldier at the beginning, defending the family and the country, we are all fellow villagers, so we will help if we can. If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you help me tell the Du family? Let's share the wages equally."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Duan Qiuyue turned over the quilt cover and continued beating, and said with a smile: "You have been working for other men's family, and you have a husband's family in the future. If there is a little mistake, can they tolerate you? Are you not afraid that they will keep talking about it? ?”

"I'm helping people, not hurting others, and I haven't done anything harmful, so what's there to be afraid of?" I sneered.

Duan Qiuyue continued to laugh and said: "That's right, you are new ideas, different from us, if we divorced at that time, we must not be drowned by spitting stars? You are fine."
