Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 650 World 110

As a result, Zhao and Qian, the two educated youths, were excluded from the village's social circle and spent their days alone. Before long, they couldn't stand it anymore and began to focus on trying to meet girls of similar age in the village.

The girls from the Di family were on good terms with Yin Yin and didn't bother with them. The girls from other families, however, were attracted to them because they were better looking than ordinary farmers, had fair skin, and were cultured.

Only then were they able to re-enter the village's social circle.

However, these two didn't just say it out of thin air. Less than a month later, someone brought a message to Yuejin Village saying that Liu Laosan was sick.

"He's sick, why did he specifically come to tell Brother Heping?" Yinyin quietly asked her mother, "Is he very ill?"

Jiang Xianjun told her to go play by herself: "Just listen and forget it. What's the point of a child knowing so much?"

Yinyin didn't get the answer from her mother, but a few days later, a classmate from Qinghe Village brought her the news.

"Yinyin, Liu Laosan used to be your uncle, right?"

Yinyin nodded: "What's wrong?"

That classmate didn't even try to hide it from Di Heping, who was sitting in front reading a book: "Didn't Liu Laosan later marry another woman? They never had any children, so Liu Laotai would scold her for not laying eggs."

“Some time ago, Old Lady Liu asked Old Man Liu for money. When the woman refused, Old Lady Liu pushed her, had someone push her to the ground, and even kicked her.”

Yinyin's face changed upon hearing this: "Is Auntie alright?"

“Something happened,” the classmate said. “It turns out that Aunt Liu was pregnant, but after being hit by Old Lady Liu, the baby was lost.”

"Aunt Liu suffered so much torment from Old Lady Liu, and when she finally had a child, she had it aborted."

"Liu Laosan still has a conscience; he took the person to the hospital, and thankfully, the person's life was saved, but they will never be able to have children again."

"Look, Old Liu fell seriously ill, and all his money is being managed by his third aunt. He doesn't give Old Liu a single penny to spend."

"Everyone in the village says that Liu Laosan has really lost his child this time, and has suddenly come to his senses. Liu San's wife is going to have a good life from now on."

"Yinyin, do you know what they mean by that? What do you mean by 'this time we really lost the child'?"

After hearing the whole story, Yin Yin felt sorry for Aunt Liu.

Old Liu had been blindly filial to his parents for most of his life, but once he stood up for himself, everyone in the village praised him. Old Liu's wife had suffered for several years, and then suffered a miscarriage and lost her ability to have children. Did she really do this for nothing? Of course not!

What normal person would be willing to damage their body just to turn over a new leaf for a man?

Yinyin was pulled by her classmate again, and when she came to her senses, she asked her gossipy friend, "It hasn't been that many years, you really didn't know?"

"Huh?" The student looked confused. "Should I know that?"

She paused, then suddenly realized what she had done. She glanced at Di Heping somewhat awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly, "I was still young back then, so I didn't manage to contact them right away."

"Besides, Heping changed his surname, so I've always thought of him as your older brother and never thought of him as a person."

Yinyin knew that this classmate was a bit dim-witted, but not a bad person. Plus, the last sentence pleased her, so she let it go.

“You’re right, Brother Heping is my own brother, and he has absolutely no connection with the Liu family.”

The student seemed a little embarrassed, turned around, took out a book, and pretended to study diligently.

When school was over, neither Yinyin nor Di Heping mentioned the matter. However, as soon as they left the school gate, they saw a strange yet familiar figure standing on their usual route, looking at Di Heping with a mixture of unease and anticipation.

Yinyin stopped and murmured, "You really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, or you'll get the same treatment as when you speak of the devil."

"Heping, Yinyin," Liu Laosan said with an awkward smile, "You're out of school?"

Di Heping's tone was sharp: "What is it?"

"No, nothing," Liu Laosan licked his dry lips. "I just haven't seen you for a while, so I wanted to ask how you've been."

As he spoke, he pulled out a few crumpled grain coupons from his pocket: "You study hard, take these grain coupons back and tell your mother to buy you more food."

Di Heping dodged his movement: "No need, you can take it back yourself and buy your aunt some good nourishment."

Di Heping deliberately ignored Liu Laosan's stiff movements and continued, "She just had a miscarriage, so she can't be like I was before, almost dying, and her own father still had to steal her money to spend on others."

"Oh, she's not his biological father, she's his biological husband."

"Yinyin, let's go," Di Heping called out, then walked past Liu Laosan.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, I don't know if you still remember me, my name is Di Heping, from Dijia Village."

As if he hadn't said enough, Di Heping continued, "I think you definitely remember."

"After all, your younger brother and nephew are closer to you than your wife and children."

"You would rather suffer your own family than let others suffer even the slightest bit."

After saying this, Di Heping strode forward, with Yinyin jogging behind him without calling out to him.

It was Di Heping who realized something was wrong and stopped: "Why didn't you tell me you couldn't keep up?"

"What's the big deal about running a few steps?" Yin Yin asked, seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood. "Brother, should we tell my dad and the others when we get back?"

Di Heping shook his head: "I can handle it, no need to tell my uncle."

Yinyin looked at him carefully for a few moments before nodding, but she also made it clear beforehand: "If you can't handle it, or if my dad and the others find out, I won't help you keep it a secret."

“Okay,” Di Heping readily agreed.

He was just worried that it wasn't worth getting angry with his uncle and the others over this. If Liu Laosan still had any sense of shame, he wouldn't come back anymore, so there would be no need to tell the parents.

"Yinyin, Heping, you're back!"

Yinyin and her friend entered the village and went straight to the old house to do their homework. Zhu and Qin, two educated youths, were sitting and talking. When they saw them come back, they greeted them.

"Sister Zhu, Sister Qin, didn't you go to a meeting at the brigade? Why are you back so early?"

“Oh, don’t even mention it,” said Zhu, a educated youth. “We were supposed to go with the educated youth from Qinghe Village and Xiahe Village.”

"After waiting for a long time, we were afraid of making things difficult, so we went ahead."

"Who knew that as soon as we arrived, we heard that the two villages had started fighting."

"How could the brigade possibly hold a meeting? The brigade leader and the others all had to go and take a look, so they called us all back."

"If we want to hold another meeting to study, we'll probably have to find another time."

"Huh? They're fighting," Yin Yin said, feigning ignorance. "They used to fight over water, so why are they fighting now?"

“It’s pretty much still about the water dispute,” Zhu Zhiqing said. “Otherwise, there’s no other reason.”

Yinyin nodded in agreement, but her eyes darted left and right, clearly eager to see what would happen.

After I finished my homework, my cousin from the house across the street quietly came to call me.

"Yinyin, Heping, come on, I'll take you to see some fun!"
