FSC [QT] Chapter 180.2

Arc 7: The Lucky Girl of the 1970s (2)

As for the third son of the Xie family, Xie Changzheng, he is the most promising son of the Xie family.

He joined the army when he was seventeen years old and is now a deputy regimental-level cadre in the army.

He chose his wife himself, Xu Chunxiu.

Her background was not good. In this era, because her family had a few acres of land during the land reform, they were finally classified as rich peasants.

In this most glorious era of the poor and lower-middle peasants, rich peasants were better than the landlords and bourgeoisie, but they were also looked down upon.

Miao Fengmei always felt that if her son had not married such a daughter-in-law of a bad background, his future would have been brighter.

Therefore, when Xie Changzheng was eligible to bring his wife and child to join the army, Miao Fengmei still used filial piety to force Xu Chunxiu to stay at home and take care of the elderly. Even Xie Changzheng’s allowance was all in the hands of the old lady alone.

Xie Changzheng is a soldier. China’s border has been unstable in recent years, and the army he is in often has to go to the border to perform missions. Therefore, he does not have many opportunities to go home to visit his family.

Perhaps because the couple are together less than they are apart, after more than ten years of marriage, the couple only has one daughter, Xie Wu, and Xu Chunxiu has never been pregnant again.

This was also one of the reasons why Miao Fengmei looked down on Xu Chunxiu, because she felt that Xu Chunxiu’s belly was not good enough, which made her third son’s branch extinct.

She was planning to adopt the youngest son of the eldest family to her third son so that he could inherit the incense of her third son.

You know, the allowance for a deputy regimental commander is very considerable. The monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only 30 or 40 yuan, but now, the allowance that Xie Changzheng sends home every month is as high as 80 yuan, not including various tickets. This money is enough to support the Xie family, and it is more than enough.

But, in the Xie family, Xu Chunxiu and her daughter Xie Wu’s life is the most difficult.

Xu Chunxiu was in poor health, which was a consequence of not taking a good rest after giving birth to her daughter Xie Wu. So, the production captain assigned her a relatively easy job because of her status as a military dependent.

Miao Fengmei used this as an excuse to ask Xu Chunxiu to wash clothes for everyone in the family, including the first and second families. At the same time, the cooking and cleaning work at home was basically done by Xu Chunxiu alone.

When Xu Chunxiu married into the Xie family, she was a famous beauty in the surrounding area. Otherwise, Xie Changzheng, who was already a soldier at the time, would not have insisted on marrying her despite her rich peasant family background.

But now, her skin is rough and she is skinny. She looks no different from an ordinary village woman. There is no trace of her former beauty.

It was enough to show how much torture she had suffered since marrying into the Xie family.

Xu Chunxiu herself couldn’t stand up straight, and so did her daughter Xie Wu.

She had such a capable father, but she only attended elementary school for a few years and dropped out early to go home. She followed her two cousins ​​and became a maid for the whole family. She couldn’t touch any of the malted milk and high-end candies her father sent her.

The night before yesterday, she was sent by her aunt to pick prickly pears on the hillside, and she rolled down the hill and hit her head on a rock. She bled all over the floor and was still unconscious.

Even so, Miao Fengmei was still worried that this matter would spread and would affect her daughter’s reputation. She didn’t allow Xu Chunxiu to take her daughter to the health station to bandage the wound, but only used plant ash to hastily apply Xie Wu’s wound.

Miao Fengmei’s youngest daughter, Xie Xiuzhu, was conceived when she was 42 years old. At that time, Miao Fengmei’s eldest grandson was already two years old. Xie Xiuzhu was the same age as Xie Wu.

In the beginning, Xie Changzheng sent two copies of the supplements to his mother and wife, but in the end, all of them went into Miao Fengmei’s stomach.

The two children were then born one after the other.

Xie Xiuzhu was well-nourished in her mother’s womb. She was white and plump when she was born. The midwife said that it was the first time in decades that she had seen such a beautiful girl when she was born.

Xu Chunxiu had to work during her pregnancy and had poor food. Xie Wu was thin and small when she was born. Her cry was like that of a kitten. It seemed difficult to raise her.

    Miao Fengmei might actually think that she’s delivering justice by “torturing the bad element” when she did all those things to her third daughter in-law and Xie Wu. After all, XCX was really a daughter of rich farmer family and the political correct view at that time was “all rich people with capital and property are evil and criminals, they all deserve the most exhausting and dirtiest job/life and the least amount of food and medical access.” If her third son share the same view as her, sigh… Smh, I hope the daughter and mother can free themselves from this family.
