Chapter 73 Taking Others’ Wealth

After learning the news, Aunt Liu San immediately went to the brigade headquarters and cried, made a fuss, and even tried to hang herself.

She just lay on the ground and rolled around, thinking that the spot should be given to her sixth daughter.

Gu Baoguo was so angry that he scolded her: "You have sold five daughters and it's not enough. Your sixth daughter is only twelve years old and you let her go out to work?"

She's only twelve years old. Zhang Li, the women's director, was furious. "Aunt San, you gave birth to her too. Why can't you feel more sorry for her?"

Aunt Liu was a rude woman, so she ignored all this and asked directly, "This temporary worker quota can be given to our team, why can't it be given to our daughter?"

"This job is to help me, so of course I need my consent to whoever does it." Gu Wan happened to be at the brigade headquarters at that time.

Originally, Gu Baoguo thought that even though he was the team leader and could decide all matters big and small in the team, after all, this temporary worker position was obtained thanks to Gu Wan.

So when they were discussing the work arrangements, they also called Gu Wan. Even if she didn't express her opinion, she would definitely be notified of the final result.

So Gu Wan witnessed with his own eyes the process of Aunt Liu coming over to make a scene. Coincidentally, Aunt Liu and her family were well-known in the entire Red Flag Brigade for selling their daughters for bloodsucking.

Gu Wan had also heard her grandmother and mother talk about Aunt Liu San, and she looked down on this person from the bottom of her heart.

After hearing what Gu Wan said, Aunt Liu was stunned. She didn't expect that the other party would dare to confront her directly like this.

She doesn’t know what happens in other families, but in the Liu family, even her man cannot be the head of the family!

This is strange. On the one hand, Aunt Liu’s preference for boys over girls is deeply ingrained in her bones, but in her family, the women are the ones who really call the shots.

When they fought, Aunt Liu could scratch her husband's face with her fingernails, and the girls in the family were all beaten by her since they were young.

No matter whether Gu Wan was an educated youth sent to the countryside or a local, Aunt Liu San just couldn't stand the people in the old Gu family.

I can't stand Shi Guixiang's weird behavior, but she pretends to be nice to her three daughters-in-law, while the three daughters-in-law of the old Gu family are annoying.

No matter how Aunt Liu tried to sow discord between them, she would never quarrel or fall out with her mother-in-law. Every time Aunt Liu wasted her energy and words, she would be furious.

As a result, she heard Gu Wan say such shameless words. Aunt Liu was so angry that her neck twisted: "You are such a shameless girl, how can you say such things? You are just lucky to be picked up by the wrong family, and since childhood-"

With a "slap" sound, Aunt Liu was slapped in the face.

"You bitch, what are you doing?" Aunt Liu was stunned by the beating. She covered her face before she reacted and pointed at the person who came and started to curse.

The one who was beaten was Qiao Yuemei. She was afraid that her daughter would suffer because of her honest conscience, so she quietly followed and went to the brigade headquarters to take a look.

But she didn't expect that seeing this scene, Qiao Yuemei was so angry that she trembled all over.

He pointed at Aunt Liu and started to curse: "Try to say that again, you bastard."

She really didn't expect that there could be someone so evil that he would say such heartbreaking words in front of Wanwan.

You have to know that this work was originally Wanwan's credit. Without Wanwan, it would be impossible for the commune to build a small kitchen.

Without Wanwan's good cooking skills and good character, Secretary Zheng would not have stepped forward and would have replaced the two helpers. The key point is that Wanwan is kind-hearted, so she agreed to let the team leader arrange the other quota for someone from the village.

The result is this kind of words.

In fact, from the very beginning, Gu Xiaoman and Qin Wan's life stories were exposed and they were taken away by mistake. After Gu Wan returned to the Red Flag Brigade and changed his name back to his current name.

Qiao Yuemei had heard similar voices before, saying things like "your daughter is lucky, she was taken away by mistake when she was little, but she grew up in a wealthy family in the city";
Another saying goes, "Gu Xiaoman is so pitiful. She is a rich lady but she grew up in the countryside."

Some people even said, "Maybe Gu Laosan did it on purpose, just to let his daughter live a good life in the city."

There were all kinds of things said, especially about how Gu Xiaoman left without even looking back. The villagers talked about it behind her back for many days.

Even after Gu Wan took the initiative to go to the countryside as an educated youth and returned to the Red Flag Brigade, there were still people gossiping about him behind his back.

Qiao Yuemei couldn't understand what they had done wrong.
Yes, their Gu family is not rich, and they are certainly not as rich as the Qin family who are officials in the provincial capital.

But their family has never treated Gu Xiaoman badly. In the countryside, there is really no other family that treats their daughters better than their sons.

Back then, the whole family gritted their teeth and supported Gu Xiaoman's education, but she had poor grades and no future, so she refused to continue studying after graduating from junior high school.

Most girls in the village have to help with housework when they are seven or eight years old, and go to the fields to earn work points when they are ten or so.

However, Gu Xiaoman rarely went to work in the fields until she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and none of the boys in the family lived a life comparable to hers.

As a result, before Gu Xiaoman left, she turned the tables and said a lot of bad things about their family, so much so that after Gu Wan came back, some people still cursed her behind her back.

Qiao Yuemei was so angry. Why? They were kind enough to take in the Qin family and let them give birth to their children at home.

It was a time of war and chaos. She and Zhao Xuemei gave birth to their babies at the same time and their newborns looked similar. Who could she blame if they took the wrong baby?

Qiao Yuemei believed that she had done her best to support Gu Xiaoman, as she had done her family's best to raise her until she was eighteen.

As a result, their family is being pointed at and scolded, and then her own daughter is also being pointed at and accused of having a good life because she has taken advantage of other people's wealth?

Just because their family is poor and they are from the country, do they deserve to be scolded?

Don’t you think about it, such a good and excellent Gu Wancai is the offspring of their Gu family, which means that their Gu family has a stronger foundation than others!

“Did I say something wrong? If Gu Wan hadn’t grown up in the provincial capital, would she be able to read and learn cooking? If she hadn’t been lucky enough to have taken advantage of other people’s wealth, she might have been sold by your family to some mountain village.” Aunt Liu suddenly raised her voice, attracting many passing villagers to stop and watch the fun.

Because Qiao Yuemei rushed over and had an argument with Aunt Liu, the two of them were standing outside the brigade department and talking.

It also happens to be the only main road in the village. Everyone going in and out has to pass through here. Wouldn’t they all come over when they see something lively going on?
Originally, the Gu family’s affairs last month were the biggest news in the village, and everyone had been talking about it privately for many days.

Later, because Gu Wan took the initiative to go to the countryside and returned, and received the award for outstanding educated youth, most of the villagers had a good impression of her.

As a result, Aunt Liu brought up the matter again, and some ignorant women heard what she said and started pointing fingers at Gu Wan again.
