Chapter 251: Was Aunt Ding’s Death in the Past Life Related to Huaiyu?
ngyu returned to the village, passing through a field, and happened to see the team leader carrying a hoe, walking on the vast farmland. He occasionally blocked so water outlets while cursing under his breath.
"These damned people, not wanting water themselves, just let it flow into the big river, as if others don’t need it, huh?"
After the implentation of the household responsibility system, farrs’ enthusiasm for production was unprecedentedly stimulated, but it also triggered so people’s selfishness. In the past, people would dig with a hoe for water, filling up one piece of farmland before moving on to the next, making the most of water resources.
But now each household manages their own irrigation, filling up their fields before carelessly releasing the rest into the big river, unconcerned about whether others need the water. Thus, a considerable amount of water resources were wasted.
So what the team leader was doing was a good deed, blocking those outlets that led to the river, making the water flow into other channels, for use in other people’s fields.
ngyu sighed to herself, even with household farming implented, the team leader still had endless concerns.
ngyu called out to the team leader, "Uncle team leader."
Upon seeing it was ngyu, the team leader’s face stretched into a smile, "It’s ngyu who’s returned. It’s Sunday today, you’ve co back to see—"
He started to say to visit your mother, but then he rembered Li Chunhua had moved to the county town.
ngyu quickly said, "I ca back to see the team leader."
Joy instantly appeared on the team leader’s face, "To see ? Co, let’s go ho."
Seeing ngyu carrying a large bag, he said, "You’ve returned, why bring so many things?"
ngyu lifted the bag, "Just so little things. I bought two bottles of wine for you, brought from the Capital City. I bought so cakes for grandma and Aunt Ding, and so candies for the kids."
Hearing that there was wine, and from the Capital City at that, the team leader felt very comforted, "You’re such a caring child, always rembering the past. Alas!"
He had already heard, the Jiang family sold ngyu, even to be a shared wife in the mountains, and had Huaiyu go to the university ngyu was admitted to, but fortunately, ngyu was rescued by the liberation army.
This Jiang family, what a sin they have committed!
ngyu carried her things and first went to see Aunt Ding, giving her the specially prepared cakes.
ngyu kept insisting, "Aunt, I personally made these cakes for you, you must eat them yourself."
She couldn’t understand why Aunt Ding died the second year after she was sold, as she was still in the mountains at that ti.
She sowhat suspected that anyone who was kind to her had faced oppression and revenge from Jiang Huaiyu, fearing they might help her gain so advantage.
After all, Aunt Ding had helped her a lot in the past, basically, whenever ngyu had no food to eat, it was Aunt Ding who got her through.
Could it be that Aunt Ding’s death in her previous life was also related to Huaiyu?
Regardless, she had to prevent such a possibility. Now she would first improve Aunt Ding’s health, and when she got admitted to the university next year, she would use the pretext of asking for help to take Aunt Ding to Beijing.
She refused to believe that under her watch, Jiang Huaiyu could still harm her!
Aunt Ding was delighted, not for the bit of cake ngyu gave her, but for ngyu’s thoughtfulness.
"Sure, I will eat it myself, not sharing with anyone else," she said while patting ngyu’s hand in admiration, "Ah, such a good child, smart and capable, and knows how to repay kindness. If it were the Jiang family—wouldn’t they enjoy a lot of blessings in the future? What a pity, they just don’t have the good fortune."
Hearing Aunt Ding’s words, ngyu was secretly alard—did Aunt Ding know sothing? She looked at the team leader inquiringly.
The team leader sighed, "The day after you were sold, your mother—that Li Chunhua ca back to the village, and everyone then said you had run off with a man."
