Arc 7: The Lucky Girl of the 1970s (31)

However, Miao Dashan also vaguely realized Xie Changzheng’s determination to separate the family this time.

He asked himself and some respected elders in the village to be witnesses, making it clear that he did not intend to give in to the old lady and to write down a certificate of the split in black and white so that those people in the Xie family would not even have the chance to regret it.

Thinking more deeply, when Xie Changzheng said that he would fulfill the same responsibilities as his eldest and second brothers, did it also mean that he was no longer going to support the whole family unconditionally?

Xie Changgeng and Xie Changli only earned a few work points each year. According to the two brothers’ share, they probably wouldn’t be able to spend more than a dozen or twenty yuan on their retirement throughout the year. This amount was not even half of the allowance Xie Changzheng sent home every month.

“Yes, everyone is still working in the fields. In the evening, I will gather everyone to go to your house and deal with this problem.”

Miao Dashan glanced at Xu Chunxiu and her daughter who had not said a word behind Xie Changzheng.

They had only been in the county for more than a week. The originally dark and thin mother and daughter seemed to have gained some weight and become whiter. Xie Wu was young, and this change was particularly obvious to her.

Miao Dashan had never carefully looked at this little girl from the third branch of the Xie family before. But after taking a closer look at her, he was surprised to find that her appearance was indeed outstanding.

Perhaps it was because she was too dark and too thin before, so her cheeks were sunken and her facial features were inferior.

Now that her skin had become a little whiter and her cheeks had become fuller, her iconic facial features suddenly showed their original brilliance.

Yes, Xie Changzheng was a famous handsome guy in the village. He was tall and handsome. Many girls came to the fields to peek at him under the pretext of delivering water and food to their parents and brothers.

It was also because of his tall and straight figure that Xie Changzheng passed the strict military review and became a glorious People’s Liberation Army.

Not to mention Xu Chunxiu. All love at first sight originates from beauty. The reason why Xie Changzheng fell in love with the girl who had two thick braids at first sight was also because of Xu Chunxiu’s outstanding appearance.

With such a mother and father, Xie Wu’s appearance would naturally not be inferior.

It was a pity that Miao Fengmei had treated her granddaughter too harshly.

When the villagers saw the skinny little girl who looked like a monkey, they thought that she was not as good-looking as her parents.

On the contrary, Miao Fengmei’s daughter, who was the same age as Xie Wu, was often praised by the men, women, and children in the village because she ate well and dressed well.

In addition, the rumor that Xie Xiuzhu was blessed had spread in the village before, which made her become the flower of the Eighth Production Team.

Although she was only thirteen years old, many people had already taken a fancy to this girl and would wait until she was a little older so that they could ask matchmakers to come and arrange marriage for their sons.

Miao Dashan looked at the changes in Xie Wu with a look of embarrassment on his face. His cousin’s behavior was really unkind.

No wonder even Xie Changzheng, such a filial son, couldn’t stand it and was determined to separate the family even at the risk of being branded as an unfilial son.

After agreeing to separate the family in the evening, Miao Dashan left Old Liu’s house. Before leaving, he also told Xu Chunxiu that he had changed her to a relatively easy job, and the work points would be the same as before.

This was said in front of Xie Changzheng, so it was considered a good deal.

“Mom, will we live here in the future?”

Ah Wu shook her mother’s arm with some expectation.

Old Liu’s house was indeed a little shabby, even worse than the old house of the Xie family that they lived in and had never rebuilt.

But Ah Wu didn’t think the house was so shabby that it was uninhabitable. When she thought about being away from other people in the Xie family, she felt that the house was good in every way.

“Yeah.”

Xu Chunxiu nodded, “From now on, our family will live here.”

She glanced at her husband, who was expectant on the side, and pursed her lips.

As a family, now that they have decided to start over, they should let go of their past dissatisfaction and resentment.

Xie Changzheng was wrong, and she was also wrong. God gave them a chance to start over, so let them be better themselves and better parents.

“Hey, the trap has moved. I wonder what big thing it is.”

On the mountainside, an old hunter and his son were checking the traps they had set a few days ago.

One of the traps had signs of an animal falling in it.

The old hunter quickly picked up his rifle and approached with his son.

“Ahhh— Ahhh— Ahhh—”

As if startled by their steps, bursts of roars suddenly came from the pit.

The old hunter approached the trap and looked down. He suddenly exclaimed: “Oh no, it’s a child. Hurry up and pull him out.”

The old hunter felt bitter.

How could a child at the foot of the mountain run to the middle of the mountain?

Moreover, the children of the nearby production team should have been taught by adults since childhood not to approach these marked traps.

He didn’t know which child was so naughty, and he didn’t know if he was injured.

Anyway, the trap was set by himself, so he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to escape the medical expenses.

The trap was very deep, so the old hunter asked his son to tie the rope around his waist and went down to pull the child up.

However, when he was halfway down and touched the child’s arm, the child viciously bit the old hunter’s arm and refused to let go.

The old hunter was frightened and waved his hand, but the child’s strength was very strong, which was completely different from his thin body. At this time, the wound was already bleeding.

The old hunter looked closely and found that although the boy in front of him looked like a human boy, his eyes clearly revealed animal nature.

Wolf cub!

This word suddenly emerged in the old hunter’s mind.
