Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai very much agreed with Liang Xinghua's words.

Actually, rural people still like living in the countryside.

But with the development of the times, the changes of things.

Today's rural people, like flocks of sheep, are driven by an invisible whip to run into the city.

You can't not run.

Because you have to earn money.

Because you have to live.

Because you have to see a doctor.

Because the children have to go to school.

One policy after another has created a large batch of migrant worker families who work in the city and buy houses in the city.

Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled, people without social labor value, are left behind in the countryside, waiting for death in the silent passage of time.

Now that Liang Xinghua was hoping Wang Erhai could take him to the city, Wang Erhai couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

He didn't know what to say.

He was just afraid that the greater Liang Xinghua's expectations, the greater his disappointment.

He was just afraid Liang Xinghua would bitterly wait for his renovation company to open, yet never see the result.

"Speaking of which, are Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui really together?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly changed the subject, gossiping about Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui's matter.

"You still don't know? This matter has caused an uproar; the whole Shanggou Village has heard of it."

Liang Xinghua glanced at Zhou Hongwei, who was burying his head laying bricks, discovered he had no reaction, and continued speaking:

"For the sake of being with Zhou Zhihao, Li Yuncui sold her child who had just been born not long ago!"

"No way, selling a child is illegal!"

Wang Erhai was surprised, then questioned:

"They say if they're together they're together, what does it have to do with the child?"

Liang Xinghua said:

"The condition for Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui dating was not helping another man raise a child; Li Yuncui might truly love Zhou Zhihao, she heard Zhou Zhihao put forward such a requirement, and without a second word sold the child."

Zhou Hongwei spoke at this time:

"Xinghua, stop gossiping, okay? You saying this out makes me upset!"

Wang Erhai puzzledly asked at this time:

"Uncle Hongwei, since Li Yuncui loves Zhou Zhihao this much, just let them be together; there's a saying, better to demolish ten temples than break up one marriage."

Zhou Hongwei, however, darkened his face:

"Love my ass! Li Yuncui dares to sell her own child today, tomorrow she'll dare to sell Zhou Zhihao!"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was momentarily at a loss for words.

Have to admit, Zhou Hongwei's words have a bit of reason.

A person who dares to abandon even her own flesh and blood, how can you expect her to be good to others?

And at this time, the other side.

Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui, holding hands, boarded the township bus.

Going to the county town to play together.

The two arrived at the county town, watched a movie, ate McDonald's, strolled the snack street, and finally went together to a small inn costing 60 yuan a night to stay overnight.

"Zhihao, how about we go to the city to work?"

After a bout of wild passion, Li Yuncui hugged Zhou Zhihao and said this sentence.

Zhou Zhihao was stunned:

"This is fine, why suddenly go to the city to work?"

Li Yuncui said:

"The village is full of gossip everywhere; I've really had enough of it; they say everywhere that I sold my child."

Zhou Zhihao replied with a sentence:

"They didn't say it wrong, though."

Li Yuncui immediately punched him once:

"I did this for you!"

Zhou Zhihao hehe dry-laughed.

Li Yuncui hugged him tight:

"Zhihao, in the future you must treat me well; I've given up too much for you; if you dare let me down, then I'll..."

"Then what?"

Li Yuncui coldly snorted:

"Then I'll drag you down to die with me!"

Zhou Zhihao was stunned:

"Why so scary? Isn't being alive good enough?"

Li Yuncui spoke up at this time:

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go back to the topic just now. Let's go work in the city together. It's really too boring in the village."

Zhou Zhihao thought for a moment:

"Going to the city to work isn't impossible. It's just that I have to tell my Second Uncle."

Li Yuncui then said:

"Your Second Uncle has quite a big opinion against me. If you tell him, will he let you go?"

Zhou Zhihao then said:

"Don't know. Probably not. But if I want to leave, he can't stop me either. Telling him is a sign of respect for him. After all, he is my Second Uncle."

Li Yuncui then said:

"Alright then. You tell your Second Uncle tomorrow, and tomorrow we'll go to the city!"

Zhou Zhihao, however, hesitated a bit:

"Going to the city, we should first decide which city to go to, right? Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan — they're all cities."

Li Yuncui then said:

"Let's go to Dongguan. Dongguan has relatively more factories, more job opportunities."

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Zhou Zhihao didn't arrive at the construction site until past ten in the morning.

Everyone was about to finish work by the time he came.

The weather is a bit hot now. Generally, they finish work at eleven o'clock.

"Second Uncle, I came to tell you something."

Zhou Zhihao came before Zhou Hongwei.

Zhou Hongwei had a dark face. He glanced at him and said coldly:

"Thinking of not working anymore?"

Zhou Zhihao was surprised: "How did you know?"

Zhou Hongwei gave a cold snort:

"Looking at your deadbeat look, I could figure it out with my buttocks!"

Zhou Zhihao laughed embarrassedly:

"Second Uncle, I plan to go into the city to work together with Yun Cui. Didn't you previously dislike that I wasn't ambitious enough? Now I plan to work hard together with Yun Cui, and in the future establish our own little family together."

Zhou Hongwei said coldly:

"You can go if you want, but don't come tell me. Go tell your dad. If your dad agrees, then I have nothing to say."

Zhou Zhihao then said:

"Okay, I'll call my dad in a bit."

Zhou Zhihao turned around and went out, dialing his dad's number.

Before long, he came back and told Zhou Hongwei that his dad agreed.

Zhou Hongwei sighed, waving his hand:

"Sigh, then go."

Zhou Zhihao then said:

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

Zhou Hongwei called out to him again at this moment:

"Come back!"

"Second Uncle, what is it?" Zhou Zhihao turned back.

Zhou Hongwei was silent for a moment, then said:

"If you don't get along well in the city, come back and continue doing mud/plaster work with your Second Uncle. Don't think this line of work loses face. It's bitter, a bit, but at least it can guarantee you won't starve to death."

Zhou Zhihao couldn't help but feel moved, nodding heavily:

"Okay, Second Uncle!"

That afternoon, Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui together boarded the vehicle heading to Dongguan.

The two of them didn't bring much money on them. Added together, it was only a few thousand.

They also didn't know where to find work. They only knew Dongguan had many factories. Getting into a factory shouldn't be a problem.

On the long-distance bus heading to Dongguan, Li Yuncui received a call from her dad, Li Zhenxing.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

From the other end of the phone came Li Zhenxing's loud scolding:

"You beast! How could you not tell me and just give the child away to someone else? Hurry back and tell me who the child was given to!"

The matter of Li Yuncui selling the child had been kept hidden from her father all along.

It's just that paper can't wrap fire. This matter spread rapidly in Shanggou Village, and in the end it still reached the ears of Li Zhenxing, who was working in the city.

Li Zhenxing hurriedly called his wife Luo Jiaxin to confirm this matter.

Luo Jiaxin knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she told him.

Because of this, they had a big fight.

After this fight, Li Zhenxing still held a breath of anger in his heart, so he called to scold Li Yuncui.

"Do you still have any conscience? That was your own born child! A piece of flesh fallen from your body! It's all because your mom spoiled you rotten since childhood, leading to you becoming this ghostly state now!"

Li Yuncui felt fear in her heart, and hurriedly said:

"Um... Dad, the signal's bad on my end, I can't hear what you said. I've got something to take care of, so I'll hang up first. I'll call you back when I have time."

"Don't you hang up! Get back here right now!"

Li Yuncui simply hung up the phone.

Avoidance was her only method of solving problems.
