72 -68: Getting Beaten Up/Conscription Begins

A new watch had begun, seeking pink, seeking genuine subscription.

“I have the patience to wait, and I don’t mind that my wife is a rural woman.”

This statement was nothing short of a blatant threat!

Chuxia snorted coldly and swung her hoe toward Xue Guohong’s feet, scaring him into jumping back repeatedly: “Hey, what are you trying to do?”

Chuxia straightened up: “Young master, I need to work; I need to eat.

I’m not like you, having a powerful father who can get you food without working!”

“You…” Xue Guohong didn’t expect Chuxia to say such a thing in front of everyone.

He wanted to retort but couldn’t find the right words at the moment, so he just stood there, his face turning red in embarrassment.

“What do you mean, ‘you’?

Move aside!” Chuxia tapped his leg with her hoe, “I’m not very skilled.

If I chop or bruise you, I’m not responsible!”

As the son of the commune director, Xue Guohong had never been so humiliated.

Blood rushed to his head in a flash, and he grabbed Chuxia’s arm and dragged her outside, “What are you doing?

Crazy woman, let go of me…”

“Thump!” Xue Guohong was thrown a meter away by Lin Baohe, who grabbed him by the collar.

“If you dare to bother my daughter again, I’ll beat you every time I see you. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

I don’t believe, in this new country and society, that there’s no law!” Lin Baohe pointed at Xue Guohong angrily.

He had been tolerating the situation to avoid making it too stiff, but this time, the man dared to touch his daughter right in front of him.

If he tolerated any further, could he still call himself a father?

“I just wanted to pull her aside to talk, I meant no harm!” Although embarrassed and annoyed, Xue Guohong realized his behavior was inappropriate and stiffly tried to explain.

“Scram!” Chuxia knocked her hoe onto his back, “Shameless, if you dare show up in front of me again, just try!”

Since her father had already taken action, there was no need to endure any longer.

Moreover, she had endured so much that she was almost sick of it.

As someone born in the ’90s, when had she ever suffered such indignity?

When it was time to act, she acted!

Her father was right.

In a new country and society, how could there really be no rule of law?

The more they tolerated, the more he would take them for granted.

Enough was enough, right?

Moreover, according to Luo Gangshun, Xue Ligang should be cherishing his reputation now.

She didn’t believe he would risk his official position just to target their family!

“You guys…

you guys…”

“What do you mean by ‘you guys’?” Luo Xiaoqiong stepped forward to give him another whack with her hoe, “As a commune director, you condone your son oppressing others.

If we report this, what do you think the outcome will be?”

Although Xue Guohong was over 1.8 meters tall, he had never done physical labor since childhood.

Compared to the robust Lin Baohe, he wasn’t a match at all.

Now, with Luo Xiaoqiong and Lin Chuxia joining in…

before the situation escalated, they might have spared him some embarrassment, but now it had come to this.

It was better to retreat than to lose further face.

He thought so and got up without a word, heading towards the edge of the field, “Smack!” Just two steps later, a stinky shoe hit him solidly on his back, this was too much!

He turned around angrily: “What are you trying to do?”

“Sorry, just trying to shake the dirt off my shoe…” Fat Auntie said, shaking the other foot.

Before Xue Guohong could react, another shoe flew over and “smack” hit him solidly on the chest.

“You’ll see!” Fuming with humiliation, Xue Guohong’s face contorted in anger.

Fortunately, he hadn’t lost his senses completely and threw a threatening statement before quickening his pace out of the beating range.

“Cha Xiang…” Zhao Yulan held onto Fat Auntie and pulled Luo Xiaoqiong as well, “You shouldn’t have gotten involved.

Ah, if it drags Gangshun down…”

“Yulan, what are you talking about?” Fat Auntie interrupted her.

“Even if we can’t become family by marriage, our affections remain.

I want him to know that the Lin family is not without support!”

Luo Xiaoqiong chuckled: “Mom, you’ve progressed, even using idioms now!”

“Go on, get out of here…” Fat Auntie said, half-annoyed and half-amused as she pushed her daughter, “Do you think your mom is some rough old peasant who can’t even use an idiom?

Your mother did go to school after all.”

Luo Xiaoqiong nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, my mom is really amazing…”

Lin Chuxia was, of course, very touched by Fat Auntie and Luo Xiaoqiong’s loyalty, but with the Luo family now involved, it would be hypocritical to speak politely.

She smiled and said: “Fat Auntie, how come your shoe throwing is so accurate?

Absolutely at the level of a female knight!”

“Yeah, if my mom was born during the anti-Japanese war, she would definitely have been a heroine!” said Luo Xiaoqiong.

Fat Auntie waved her hands dismissively: “Forget it, I’d rather not be a hero than to have been born in that era.”

“Fat Auntie…” Luo Gangshun finally found an opportunity to express his gratitude, but was immediately interrupted by Fat Auntie, “Alright, alright, saying more would just be pretense…”

Lin Baohe nodded: “Alright, let’s not talk anymore.

Back to work!”

Chuxia looked around, and indeed, those working in the fields were grouped in twos and threes, often looking their way.

Especially Zheng Sanqiao, Liu Meiqing, and Aunt Zhong, their expressions of schadenfreude were clear to see.

After dinner in the evening, Chuxia’s family went to Gangshun’s house, and it happened that Dagang’s Grandpa was also there.

Seeing Lin Baohe, he immediately patted him with a smile, “Baohe, true man, Uncle supports you!”

“Uncle…” Lin Baohe blushed, “I don’t want to cause trouble, but he bullied my daughter, and as a father, even if it means going to jail, I can’t let him bully her!”

“It won’t get to that…” Chen Fenggang waved his hand, “Xue Ligang doesn’t have the guts.

They’re restructuring now, and he’s probably unsure about some things.

At this time, he wouldn’t go too far.

If it leads to public outrage and he gets reported, his position as commune director will end anyway.

He should know that.”

Upon hearing Chen Fenggang’s words, Lin Baohe, who felt like there was a stone blocking his heart, felt relieved.

Although he would risk anything for his daughter, he was more concerned about his wife and daughter facing more bullying if he were really to be imprisoned.

“Ah, as long as Xue Guohong doesn’t bother Chuxia in the future, that would be a blessing.

But…” hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yulan looked anxiously towards Chen Fenggang and Gangshun, “But Chuxia joining the military seems unlikely now, right?”

Chen Fenggang said, “I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee the outcome.”

“Thank you, Dagang’s Grandpa.” Chuxia stepped forward to thank him.

“This child, why be so polite?” Chen Fenggang chuckled and shook his head, then added, “But Chuxia is really getting more sensible.

If she goes to the army for training, she’s bound to succeed.”

“What about me?” Luo Xiaoqiong looked earnestly at Chen Fenggang, “Dagang’s Grandpa, do you think I can be successful?

Will I be better or worse than Chuxia?”

“You can also be successful…” Chen Fenggang laughed, “Who is more successful will depend on yourselves.

Dagang’s Grandpa wouldn’t dare make a hasty judgment.”

In the days that followed, indeed Xue Guohong did not come looking for trouble, nor did Xue Ligang make a move, clearly, what Chen Fenggang said was true.

For that father and son, tolerating was absolutely not their way of doing things.

Ten days later, Zhao Qiliang’s telegram arrived stating he would return on May the first and stay at home for half a month, asking his family to make arrangements accordingly.

The date for the engagement was then set for May sixth, just eight days away from now.

Two days later, it was the day for the selection of female soldiers.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yulan and Fat Auntie accompanied Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong to the commune.

In the commune courtyard, more than fifty young girls were already waiting there, amongst them were familiar faces like Zhong Hongying, Ren Yue, Zhao Qihui, and Miao Yuehua from the same village.

Zhao Qihui was notified by Zhao Yulan, and Yushan managed to register her name.

From afar, seeing Chuxia and Zhao Yulan, she quickly came over: “Auntie, Chuxia, you are here?”

Zhao Yulan warmly held her hand, “Did Qihui come alone?”

“Yes, my mom wanted to accompany me, but I didn’t let her.” Zhao Qihui said while pinching Chuxia’s cheek, “I’m not as pampered as Xia.”

Seeing her in better spirits than before, Chuxia was quite happy and introduced, “This is Fat Auntie, you know Xiaoqiong, no need for introductions.”

Now with a different status, Luo Xiaoqiong was somewhat shy, hiding behind Fat Auntie, her face flushed without saying a word.

Fat Auntie warmly took over Zhao Yulan’s hand and chatted, then forcibly pulled Luo Xiaoqiong to the front, “Why hide?

Don’t you want to talk to Sister Qihui?”

Luo Xiaoqiong’s face turned even redder, and she whispered shyly, “Hello, Sister Qihui.”

Zhao Qihui smiled and pulled her, “We saw each other before, why act like strangers now?

Xiaoqiong, we all know how good you are to Chuxia.

Being my sister-in-law, our whole family would wholeheartedly agree.

Having you as a sister-in-law, I would be really happy.”

Someone’s ears turned blood red.

“Sister, stop teasing her…” Chuxia suddenly widened her eyes, “No…no way?”

“What happened?” Zhao Qihui looked puzzled and followed her line of sight, then immediately, her expression turned the same as Chuxia’s.

My goodness, surely it must be her eyes playing tricks.

Zhao Qiyan actually came?

Next to her was unmistakably Aunt Lin Xiaohua.

The conscription requirements were clear and stated, no shorter than one meter sixty.

Zhao Qiyan, barely over one and a half meters, had also come to join in the excitement?

And she looked thrilled?

Subsequently, Zhao Yulan’s smile also froze on her face.

Fat Auntie and Luo Xiaoqiong, not knowing Zhao Qiyan, but seeing her height, both curled their lips up.

At that moment, Lin Xiaohua had already spotted them and dragged Zhao Qiyan over, “Little sister, a niece is not only one.

From this matter, you can tell.”

Indeed, there is more than one niece, but only one meets the criteria, ah!

“Sister-in-law…” Zhao Yulan’s words stuck in her throat unable to come out, knowing Lin Xiaohua’s temper, if she dared to question Zhao Qiyan’s height now, the other could really start a fight right here.(To be continued.
