None of the onlookers expected Tao Daqiang to be so brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Tao family had two brothers and was considered to have a relatively large number of people in the team, Tao Jianshe himself had a soft temper, Tao Dayong was afraid of his wife, and Tao Daqiang was even more of a simpleton, so this family's image in the team was that of a passerby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu family also had two brothers, but Gu Ermao was a troublemaker, and his mother was like a shrew, so in the eyes of the people in the team, this family was not to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would have thought that Tao Daqiang could give Gu Ermao a severe beating. Some people had the intention of watching the fun, thinking about how Gu Ermao's mother would go to the Tao house to make a scene later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister-in-law Lu had this intention when she told Liang Yuemei about it. After all, Tao Daqiang was \"working\" for the Li family, so the Li family had to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Li family learned about this, Li Jianguo and his wife were very surprised, but Li Long thought it was quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't bully an honest person too hard. If bullied too hard, an honest person will strike back ruthlessly. Today, Tao Daqiang's weak point was probably the basin of buns and vegetables in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dormant donkey can kick someone to death; a dormant person can do great things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He grabbed my buns and wanted to eat my vegetables.\" Tao Daqiang didn't feel he had done anything wrong, and he didn't tell his father about this when he got home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt he was in the right, so it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, he deserved to be beaten.\" Li Long nodded, the beating was justified. Gu Ermao was used to bullying people and taking small advantages, so he needed a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Daqiang went to the small lake with Li Jianguo and Li Long to dig for fish. In the afternoon, the fish began to gather at the ice hole, and the harvest increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Shufen came to Gu Xiaoxia's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She greeted Gu Bowuan first and then followed Gu Xiaoxia to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you packing the things you need for the exam tomorrow?\" Wu Shufen asked, seeing the yellow satchel and fountain pen on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, are you packed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's there to pack? Bring a pen and an eraser. It's just an exam, just writing and calculating.\" Because she was going to the commune to take the exam, Wu Shufen was quite self-abandoning, or perhaps she was pretending not to care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's better to prepare an extra pen,\" Gu Xiaoxia kindly advised. \"Better safe than sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I pass, I'll just be teaching primary school...\" Wu Shufen pouted. \"And there's no official position...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you might as well not take the exam.\" Gu Xiaoxia was angry. Everything she said was for Wu Shufen's own good, but it seemed as if she, Wu Shufen, was taking the exam for her, with such a dismissive attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be like that...\" Wu Shufen originally came to seek sympathy. Seeing Gu Xiaoxia angry, she immediately hugged her arm and acted like a spoiled child. \"I'm just a bit unconvinced. Why is it that even though we're both junior high graduates, some people can go to the county to take the exam...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then do you have as good a foundation as them?\" Gu Xiaoxia's words were merciless. \"I told you at the time that reviewing wouldn't hurt. Did you review?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My book was dirtied by my brother, who knew it would actually be used...\" Wu Shufen muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaoxia didn't want to talk anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what time are you leaving tomorrow morning? Let's go together?\" Seeing Gu Xiaoxia not speaking, Wu Shufen immediately said, \"It would be perfect for us to have company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm leaving very early. The exam is at ten, and I need to be at the exam site by at least nine-thirty. Walking from here to the county takes more than two hours. Can you get up that early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Shufen had forgotten about this. \"Then how are you going?\" she asked, somewhat unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm taking Li Long's horse-drawn carriage. He and Tao Daqiang are going to the county to sell fish and asked if I wanted to go with them. I promised him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You promised him? How could you promise him?\" Wu Shufen shouted as if she were a cat whose tail had been stepped on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why couldn't I promise him?\" Gu Xiaoxia naturally knew Wu Shufen's thoughts. She used to think she was okay, but she always wanted her to obey her. Small things were fine, but this time Gu Xiaoxia didn't indulge her and asked, \"Is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I broke up with him, didn't I?\" Wu Shufen gave a reason she thought was plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You broke up with him, what does that have to do with me riding his carriage? Besides, it's not just him, there's also Tao Daqiang. You can't mean that just because you broke up with him, I can't talk to him anymore, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Shufen felt that Gu Xiaoxia had changed. In the past, she would have agreed to the small requests she made, even if it was a bit reluctant, and she would have complied after she begged a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was she so opinionated today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaoxia also knew that her tone today was different from usual, but she didn't think about changing it. This was a major event concerning her whole life. In the face of this major event, Wu Shufen and the like could go aside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could influence her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Long told Gu Xiaoxia about this, Gu Bowuan had instilled this concept in his daughter more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Gu Xiaoxia clearly know that the time to change her destiny had arrived. If she didn't want to dig big canals, didn't want to get up in the middle of the night to water the fields, and didn't want to cut wheat under the scorching sun while always guarding against possible hornet nests, she had to seize this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a person's life, there might only be two or three opportunities to change their destiny. Letting go of any one of them might lead to lifelong regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Gu Xiaoxia was a bit dismissive, but Gu Bowuan asked her to think carefully about whether she would rather teach in a classroom or cut reeds in waist-deep icy water. Gu Xiaoxia chose the former almost without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, whoever wanted to block her path was her enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxia, I feel like you don't treat me as a friend anymore,\" Wu Shufen said, somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friend? Friends should hope that the other person lives better, right?\" Gu Xiaoxia's mind was very clear now. \"Then I hope you can do well on the exam. Shouldn't you also hope that I get a good score?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because you broke up with someone, I can't take another carriage and then walk ten kilometers to the county? If that were the case, how much energy would I have left for the exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Shufen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know how she walked out of Gu Xiaoxia's house in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaoxia's words had a great impact on her, making Wu Shufen know that in this world, not everyone should revolve around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Shufen was unwilling, so she went to find Gu Ermao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the time Li Long saw her with Gu Ermao, Gu Ermao had asked her out several times, but Wu Shufen hadn't agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped to regain her confidence from Gu Ermao—as long as she made a request that wasn't excessive, Gu Ermao would definitely agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ermao, Ermao?\" Outside the door, Wu Shufen shouted twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that Shufen? I'm not feeling well,\" Gu Ermao's voice came from inside the room. \"I won't come out. You go back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Shufen naturally didn't know that Gu Ermao had been beaten black and blue by Tao Daqiang and had no face to come out and see people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm taking an exam tomorrow morning. Can you take me to the township?\" Wu Shufen was somewhat unwilling and stated her idea directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have time.\" Gu Ermao was very irritable and refused directly. Damn it, he was beaten by Tao Daqiang, and the whole team probably knew about it. He had no face left, and this woman still wanted him to take her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she brainless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-14T06:06:39.549Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","76cce513ec63c425a18a14cf52e400c8504405582e8d37adbf9f3ac8c8561968","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-121","reborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-chapter-119",825,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-1981-fishing-and-hunting-in-the-northw-cover.jpg"]
