Chapter 263: Bitter Life
However, Liu Jintao is not as honest as Ji Mushan's original body.
She began to think about herself at a very young age.
At that time, Ji Mushan only knew how to study hard and seriously, because she understood that only if her academic performance was good enough, it was possible for her patriarchal parents to continue to study for a good reputation.
For Ji Mushan at that time, apart from studying, she didn't know what way out she had.
However, Liu Jintao was more or less influenced by the old concepts of many people in the village.
Liu Jintao herself is not smart, she has no talent in learning, let alone hard work, so her grades have always been at the end of the crane in the class.
She actually doesn't like to go to school herself, but it allows her to avoid countless housework and farm work, so she is willing to stay in school honestly.
And from a very early age, Liu Jintao remembered the words that the elders in the family often chanted.
It's better to learn well than to marry well, how a woman will live in the future depends on what kind of person she marries!
If you marry a poor bastard, you will definitely suffer for a lifetime. But if she marries those rich, she will be a rich wife who will enjoy endless happiness in the future!
Therefore, when she was still in elementary school, Liu Jintao was already quietly looking for her future husband.
Speaking of which, it is quite fateful, the first husband candidate that Liu Jintao was eyeing was Zhao Guangqing.
Although no one knew at that time that Zhao Guangqing would become the current director, the Zhao family was originally very well-established, and it was a well-known rich and powerful family in the village, and there was no telling how many people in the village were envious and jealous of the Zhao family.
When Liu Jintao was at home, he heard his parents talk about the Zhao family more than once in private.
They envied the Zhao family's life, but they knew that they were too far away from the Zhao family, so they even cursed the Zhao family in private, looking forward to the day when the Zhao family would decline, and they would live the same hard life as them.
After listening to it a lot, Liu Jintao vaguely understood a truth: if anyone becomes the Zhao family, it must be fragrant and spicy!
Therefore, when most children of the same age were still thinking about playing with mud, Liu Jintao began to follow Zhao Guangqing's path and followed Zhao Guangqing's ass every day.
Zhao Guangqing has long been accustomed to being surrounded by a bunch of friends, so he has no special impression of Liu Jintao, and only regards her as one of his little followers.
The main reason is that Liu Jintao's appearance is average, and because of her perennial farm work, her skin is tanned, and she is a black girl, so it is naturally difficult to attract Zhao Guangqing's extra attention.
Of course, most of the girls in the village were black and thin, and few were really white.
Liu Jintao followed Zhao Guangqing for several years, until they both graduated from primary school, Liu Jintao's academic performance was really poor, and her parents didn't want to spend any more tuition on her, so they handed her over to her aunt who was working outside, and asked Liu Jintao to work too.
Although Liu Jintao was still a minor at that time, there was no formal recruitment unit that dared to use her. But it's just to make money, especially when she doesn't care how much she can earn, it's not difficult to find a job for Liu Jintao, who can endure hardships.
In this way, Liu Jintao worked outside for a few years, except for a pitiful living expenses for herself, all the rest of the money was handed over to her parents.
The Liu family can be regarded as really squeezing Liu Jintao's blood.
The last time Ji Mushan got news of Liu Jintao was when she was admitted to college, and I heard that the Liu family had ordered Liu Jintao to marry her.
At that time, Liu Jintao, although she was only in her early twenties, in the countryside where she got married earlier, she had already become an older girl in the eyes of the third aunt and six mothers-in-law.
Therefore, the marriage partner that the Liu family set for Liu Jintao was not good, and he was an old bachelor in the same village.
The old bachelor was in his fifties, but his body looked okay, stronger than the average young man.
He doesn't have a house of his own, and usually lives in the old ancestral hall in the village.
The old ancestral hall was destroyed in that year, and it has long been abandoned, and the houses are dilapidated. The old bachelor cleaned up a house that looked like he could barely live in it, and casually built a straw bed to live in, and lived there for more than 20 years.
The house quietly glanced at a few times when Ji Mushan passed by before, it was really dilapidated, there was not even a gate, only the old bachelor hung a rag to block it, and the situation in the house was simply unobstructed.
Of course, there is no difference between his broken house and having a gate and not having a gate.
Everyone in the village knew that he was poor, not to mention that no thieves cared about his family, and the people in the village were reluctant to go to his house as a guest.
The old bachelor built a stone stove behind the broken house, and put a broken pot and a few broken bowls, which was enough for him.
Usually, when the farm is busy, the old bachelor runs from east to west to help people do work. He has some problems in his head, and he doesn't think very well. However, he has a lot of strength, and he is willing to work hard, and everyone is willing to ask him to do things for the sake of the same village and surname.
This is a day's work, even a day's wages.
And whenever this happens, the old bachelor can still eat at someone's house for a day.
Regardless of whether people are willing to take care of his food or not, anyway, as soon as the meal arrives, he will take the work and sit at the dining table of others, who can pull his face down and drive him away?
In fact, no one in the village wanted to eat at the same table with him.
The mud on the old bachelor's body can be seen with the naked eye, and I don't know how long he hasn't taken a bath. In addition, he likes to talk and brag when he eats, and his saliva is flying all over the sky.
As long as it is a plate that he has moved with chopsticks, almost no one wants to put down chopsticks anymore.
Therefore, every time someone asks the old bachelor to do the work, he will take out a big bowl alone, rush the meal prepared for him to the bowl in advance, and then when he comes, just give him the big bowl and chopsticks.
The old bachelor doesn't care about people's dislike of him, anyway, as long as he can eat a full stomach.
The children in the village also understood the attitude of the adults, and they all made up songs to sing about him.
Even Ji Mushan was so honest that he sang along when he was a child.
is such an old bachelor, the more there is no old man in the village who has not thought of finding him a similar object, he can become a family and live a more decent life.
What's more, there is no one else in this old bachelor's family, if there are no children or grandchildren or anything, when he is old in the future, he will not be able to exert his strength, who will be able to take care of him?
But this year has dragged on for a year, and the old bachelor's age is getting older and older, but there is no woman who really looks up to him!
Everyone almost thought that he really wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, who would have thought that he would be able to marry a yellow flower girl in her early twenties?!
