Not only would they be able to study in the capital, but the school would also give them food rations and subsidies. This meant that they could earn money without doing any work. The villagers did not know about this in the past. Now that they heard about it, they were envious. They looked at Chu Xiang and the other university students in a different light. They kept praising them for being capable people.
The benefits of being cultured and able to study took root in the hearts of the villagers. Many of the villagers who did not intend to let their children study changed their minds. They decided that even if they had to sell everything they had to support their children, they would be able to enjoy life easily if they studied well.
Every university student was the pride of the Dawn Brigade. Chu Xiang was the treasure of the villagers. Everyone could not bear for her to leave her hometown. Whenever they were free, they would come to the Chu family to chat with Chu Xiang and take a closer look at the university students.
As they chatted, they mentioned Yao Xue. Yao Xue was lazy and gluttonous. After the divorce, she did not look haggard. Instead, she looked much fatter. Such a wicked person should not have a good ending. She wanted to use the opportunity of resuming the college entrance examinations to make a fortune. She was really shameless.
In this era where sharing and giving were valued, people like Yao Xue were indeed looked down upon.
Chu Xiang was shocked when she heard that Yao Xue had gained weight. After Yao Xue was reborn, she paid special attention to her appearance. She even took pride in being fair and skinny. She even slimmed down her clothes to accentuate her waist. How fat was Yao Xue to be able to tell at a glance that she had gained quite a bit of weight?
She also remembered that Yao Xue seemed to be quite tired from selling mountain goods. Could it be that business was so good now?
Chu Xiang was curious. She let the Heaven and Earth Mirror walk around Yao Xue's room. Who knew that she would see Yao Xue anxiously walking around the room with a conflicted expression.
Chu Xiang looked carefully at Yao Xue's face. She already had a child. Yao Xue was pregnant!
She calculated Yao Xue's fate and realized that the child was Li Hongjun's. She was speechless. What did this mean? Yao Xue was reborn and was bound to her husband in her previous life? So what did she change after she was reborn? Was it just to earn pocket money? Business wasn't something that anyone could do. There were plenty of people who were willing to commit suicide due to their losses. Yao Xue might not be able to succeed.
However, the two of them had a rotten pot and a rotten lid. Neither of them was good. It was better for them to stay together and not harm others.
Chu Xiang saw Yao Xue hammering her belly twice, as if she had made up her mind not to have this child. This was normal. Anyone with a brain wouldn't have left this child to be entangled with Li Hongjun. However, anyone with a brain wouldn't have conceived this child at all.
Chu Xiang decided to be a good citizen and used her left hand to write an anonymous letter to report Yao Xue.
Yao Xue monopolized all the textbooks and revision materials in the county and sold them to the examinees at a high price. She took advantage of the country's urgent need to recruit talents to make a huge profit. This was an unforgivable act!
Previously, no one had reported Yao Xue. However, after the college entrance exam ended, many of the examinees who had failed the exam felt extremely aggrieved. This was especially so for the examinees who had bought their textbooks back at a high price. They had paid so much but didn't get anything in the end. Naturally, they would feel indignant.
There were also a few educated youths who didn't have the means to return to the city. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to university and return to the city. In the end, they didn't even manage to gather enough textbooks. Now, it was all Yao Xue's fault. They blamed Yao Xue for raising the price and buying all the textbooks, cutting off their path.
Amidst these complaints, the county's investigation naturally came to a conclusion very quickly. Under the testimony of a few people, Yao Xue had maliciously purchased the textbooks to make a profit. This was akin to taking advantage of the benefits of socialism. This was a very improper way of thinking and had to be severely punished!
Yao Xue was taken away and locked up. She was terrified. Even if she had led a bad life in her previous life, she had never been arrested before! She anxiously cried out for justice and pleaded for mercy. However, it was useless. This kind of behavior was too vile, especially when the higher-ups had clearly stated that they wanted to nurture talents. Committing such a mistake could be treated as a typical punishment.
Yao Xue quickly thought of a solution. She directly revealed that she was pregnant. This way, the treatment for pregnant women would be different. Furthermore, Yao Xue tearfully complained about how miserable her life in the Yao Family was. She was terrified when she was pregnant. In order to raise the child, she took the risk and sold a few sets of textbooks. She didn't earn much money and everything was for the sake of the child.
Seeing that Yao Xue's attitude was good and she even found a good excuse for herself, the relevant departments released Yao Xue. However, she was registered in the public security system. In the future, she would have a criminal record. If she committed another crime, she would be punished for two crimes.
They even criticized her in the county and asked her who the father of the child was. They wanted to give her a chance to get married immediately. Otherwise, she would be charged as a hooligan and would be sentenced after she gave birth to the child.
Yao Xue was even more afraid. She remembered that there would be a crackdown at this time. She didn't dare to take the risk and could only expose Li Hongjun.
Li Hongjun had been hiding in the educated youth center. He didn't want to see anyone if he could. He was afraid that others would recall the incident in the forest with Yao Xue. He felt that his actions were still considered secretive. He felt that as long as Yao Xue didn't expose him, no one would know that he was the father of the child.
However, he never expected that Yao Xue would expose him!
Li Hongjun was so angry that he scolded Yao Xue the moment he saw her. "Just you wait! You can't get into university and you want to scheme against me. Do you think that my family will definitely bring you along when I return to the city? Dream on! "
"Shut up, who are you threatening? You have guts. Do what you have to do. Hurry up. " The people who were escorting Yao Xue back to the village scolded him impatiently. They wanted him to get married quickly. Otherwise, he would be charged as a hooligan.
Yao Xue escaped because she was pregnant. Of course, she couldn't abort the child. Not only could she not abort the child, but she also had to protect it well and marry Li Hongjun as soon as possible.
The Yao family scolded Yao Xue because her whole family couldn't hold their heads high. The Yao brothers even beat Li Hongjun up and escorted him to get the marriage certificate with Yao Xue.
Yao Xue knew that divorce would become a common thing in the future, so she wasn't worried. As long as she could get through the current crisis, she would get married. However, others didn't know that. When they saw that she was so calm, they thought that she really liked Li Hongjun.
Now, everyone despised her even more. What was so good about Li Hongjun? He couldn't even get into university and had his eyes on the top of his head. Yao Xue was actually having a good time before marriage. This kind of behavior not only ruined the Yao family's reputation, but also the reputation of the Eternal Brigade.
Yao Xue abandoned Chu Dongsheng and chose Li Hongjun. Was it really like what Li Hongjun said? Was it really to follow him back to the city?
Not only did everyone think so, but Li Hongjun also thought so. In his opinion, Yao Xue had always been half-hearted. It was completely different from Chu Xiang's straightforward rejection. Didn't that mean that Yao Xue was deliberately trying to get close to him?
Because of this, Li Hongjun gave Yao Xue a black face. After Yao Xue moved to the educated youth camp, he pushed the washing, cooking, and cleaning of the house to Yao Xue. He didn't do anything.
The villagers of the Dawn Brigade were disgusted. It wasn't easy for Yao Xue to be sent back to the Eternal Brigade. Why did she marry back? In order to make Yao Xue leave quickly, the villagers even went to the brigade leader to ask him to allow Li Hongjun to bring his wife back to the city.
They were really disgusted. When Yao Xue was pregnant, everyone's first thought was Chu Dongsheng. After all, he was officially married. But on second thought, the two of them had been divorced for a year. They had nothing to do with each other.
In the end, they heard that Yao Xue's child was Li Hongjun's. This adulterous couple had never broken up. They had been having an affair between the two villages. It was too disgusting.
While everyone was repulsed by Yao Xue, for some reason, they liked Chu Xiang even more.
Because Yao Xue had set a negative example for all the ladies, the elders were afraid that some of the ladies would follow Yao Xue's example and have evil thoughts. At this time, the girls following Chu Xiang stood out. Their way of thinking was different from other girls. They would never do such a thing even if they were beaten to death.
Moreover, these ladies felt that they were much smarter than before. Someone went to ask Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang said that this was the benefit of being educated and knowledgeable. If there was a chance, not only would she let them study more, but she would also let them go out more often.
The ladies unexpectedly gained a lot of freedom. Naturally, they were even more grateful to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang's report letter made her even more popular in the village. She even sent those two annoying people to a pile. People often say that you reap what you sow. If Yao Xue had not caused the death of the original owner, Chu Xiang would not have dealt with her. If Yao Xue and Li Hongjun had not conspired to harm her, she would not have let them sleep together. If Yao Xue had not earned money through evil means, she would not have had the chance to report her. If they had not been entangled and had a child, she would not have tied them together.
They were the ones who reaped what they sowed. All the money that Yao Xue had earned was confiscated and returned to the book buyer. Yao Xue's wallet was suddenly empty. She had gone for wool and come home shorn. Her reputation had also hit rock bottom and there was no way for her to rise again.
On the other hand, when Li Hongjun realized that she had been fined so much money, it was the first time he saw her ability to earn money. He treated her better and started to look forward to her finding ways to earn money in the future.
But what did Yao Xue know? She only knew how to earn enough money from selling mountain goods in her previous life. She only knew how to get to know the people Chu Dongsheng knew in his previous life and talk about collaborations. However, Chu Dongsheng did not tell her how to talk in her previous life. She did not know how to talk and the talks fell through.
This kind of private matter could not be publicized and she could not ask for help from others. If the talks fell through, she would completely miss the opportunity. She was so annoyed that she did not have the mood to deal with Li Hongjun. Moreover, she was pregnant now and could not work anymore. She could not go into the mountains to pick mountain goods, nor could she secretly sell them in the county. She had no source of income. In Li Hongjun's eyes, she was hiding something!
Before she married him, she had earned more than a thousand yuan. Why did she not earn a single cent after marrying him? Was she guarding against him?
The relationship between the two of them had just turned for the worse.
Yao Xue moved into the Dawn Brigade again and had another chance to observe Chu Dongsheng. The most surprising thing in this life was not that Chu Xiang had made a name for herself in front of the leaders, but that he had actually been admitted to a university! In her previous life, he was just a big boss who had graduated from junior high school. How did he suddenly become a university student in this life?
Could it be that Chu Xiang and Huo Wenkai were so powerful? They could even teach Chu Dongsheng, who did not like to study, to become a university student?
Would Chu Dongsheng still be able to earn big money in this life? Chu Dongsheng did not seem to have any intention of doing business. What was she going to do? She did not understand how Chu Dongsheng would make a fortune, let alone other people. It turned out that doing business was so difficult. She only knew one thing and could not replicate Chu Dongsheng's success.
She was so anxious, but Li Hongjun misunderstood that she still had feelings for Chu Dongsheng. The two of them had just gotten married and started to quarrel. The beautiful life that Yao Xue had been looking forward to was completely ruined.
