Chapter 7 Being Excluded

It would take more than a day or two to expand the educated youth site, but the order from the commune leader came very suddenly. The team leader could only think of letting the educated youth temporarily live in the team members' homes.

Anyway, those team members will not be treated unfairly and they can be given work points.

The man who was called was named Gu Zhiqiang. He was the captain's cousin. He was an honest and capable man who seemed like someone worth talking to.

Based on the principle that they are family, when the captain encountered difficulties, he naturally wanted to ask his brothers for help first.

The most important thing is that although their team is not poor, everyone can basically eat until they are 60% full at every meal.

That’s all. No one has extra houses, and many families have several people living in one room.

It just so happened that Gu Zhiqiang had an extra room in his house.

As for why there is an extra empty room in Gu Zhiqiang's house, it's a long story and it all comes down to Gu Laosan's sad story.

Why? Because their daughter is gone, because that girl is no longer their biological daughter!

Originally, Gu Zhiqiang's family lived a good life. However, a few months ago, his old man, who was also the team leader's uncle, went up the mountain to collect firewood and accidentally fell down, breaking his leg.

We spent all the money in the family to save the old man's life, but his legs were completely disabled and he has to sit in a wheelchair from now on.

Then, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family, who was also the daughter-in-law of Gu Zhiqiang's eldest brother, had a difficult delivery and had no choice but to be sent to a big hospital to give birth.

It's not enough to empty the family's assets, he has to borrow money from everywhere.

The result was tragic enough, but unexpectedly, a young man from the city said he was out for a trip and found that Gu Zhiqiang's daughter looked very similar to the husband of his aunt in the city.

After a while, I don't know how they found out, but they said that the Gu family reported the wrong child and the biological parents came to pick him up.

The girl from the Gu family was really cruel. She immediately changed her name and followed her biological parents away. The key point was that the girl who was supposed to be the child of the Gu family said that she couldn't bear to leave the good life in the city.

This led to an empty room in Gu Zhiqiang's house.

It has to be said that Old Third Gu is very good to his children. No other family in the village would arrange a separate room for their daughter.

Moreover, Gu Man’s two older brothers were very good to their only sister. They were not like other families in the village who did not value girls.

But even so, when her parents came to her house, Gu Man left without looking back, and it is said that she even changed her name.

The key point is that Gu Zhiqiang's family suffered a loss. The wrong child was taken away, but his own daughter was unwilling to come back.

It is said that they look down on them because they are country folk.

In this case, there would be no problem in temporarily lending the empty room in Gu Zhiqiang's house to the educated youth to live in for a few days. The team leader was also thinking about asking the team for more benefits to give to their family.

Not to mention that they are all relatives and should take care of each other, the truth is that the old Gu family is living a very miserable life now. Giving them more food will at least prevent the old and the young from starving to death.

As a result, Gu Zhiqiang refused, he refused!

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't rent out this room."

The captain was stunned and couldn't understand: "Why? It's not like you can live here for free. Don't worry, the team will subsidize food for your family."

There's no point leaving the house empty anyway. If we add more food and cook some porridge or something, the life of the eldest son of the Gu family, his wife, and the children will be better.

Alas, his grandson's wife was injured during childbirth and had no milk, and the poor child was crying with hunger every day. Gu Zhiqiang insisted: "No, this is my daughter's, I want to leave it to her when she comes back to live."

When these words were spoken, the crowd watching was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because the place where the team leader was squatting was a good place for all the young and old men, ladies and wives in the village to chat, so when they were telling the story, there were already quite a few people gathered around them.

Most of the people present had witnessed the farce in the old Gu family. Gu Xiaoman and her biological parents hugged each other and cried bitterly, as if she had been bullied and abused by Gu Laosan's family in the past.

Then I heard that Gu Laosan’s biological daughter refused to come back no matter what.

Well-informed people have already made inquiries and it is said that Gu Xiaoman's biological parents live in the compound, especially since such a situation is happening in Gu Laosan's family now.

It is understandable that his own daughter is unwilling to come back.

But no one would have thought that the seemingly mature and steady Gu Laosan was still having such a silly dream. He actually naively thought that his own daughter would come back?

I don’t know what to say, especially the captain. Is he going to rush forward and break Gu Laosan’s dream?

Tell him that Gu Xiaoman has said that your dear daughter absolutely despises poverty and will never come back!

"Forget it, in that case, I'll think of other ways."

The captain sighed, and sighed again, but he just looked at Gu Laosan deeply, then stood up and left.

He still had to find a way. After all, those educated youth would be arriving soon, and they were coming to support rural construction.

Although it seems that the team leader is unwilling to accept any educated youth, he can only find a place for them to live helplessly.

Gu Zhiqiang, on his part, smiled broadly and said, "My daughter, at least I have kept the room for you, but I don't know when you can come back."

Because he had rejected the captain this time, when he was assigned a task later, Gu Zhiqiang naturally accepted it "happily" and seriously.

It was a coincidence that among the seven educated youths assigned to Yongfeng Commune this time, only one with ability and talent was left in the commune.

The other six people were assigned to the Red Flag Brigade. Uncle Wang had been exhausted along the way and was unwilling to let his ox cart serve this group of ancestors anymore.

So the commune made a call and asked the people from the Red Flag Brigade to drive over and take the six educated youths back directly.

In order to make himself feel more at ease, the team leader directly asked Gu Zhiqiang and another young man in the village to go to the commune to pick up the person.

Gu Zhiqiang and the young man Li Dajun did not dare to delay and immediately drove the ox cart towards the commune. When they finally arrived there.

But they didn't know that the new educated youth had already caused a commotion.

They had been through a lot along the way. From the passionate young men at the beginning, the light in their eyes had dimmed a lot after seeing the scorching sun in the countryside and seeing ashes everywhere.

As a result, after the ox cart came to a complete stop, the commune leader said, "Comrades, unload your luggage here. People from the Red Flag Brigade will come to pick you up later."

But he said to one of the female educated youths, "You don't have to go to the Red Flag Brigade with them. According to the arrangement above, you will stay in the commune."

The young leader didn't say what they would do specifically if they stayed in the commune, but everyone else was not stupid. It was obvious that staying in the commune was much better than going to that Red Flag Brigade.

All of a sudden, this female educated youth named Yao Meiqi was ostracized, which was even more unbearable than the cold treatment Gu Wan had suffered before.
