In the end, the brigade leader had lost his position and Li Aiguo successfully took his place . At that point, the people who had pushed him into the position of brigade leader had also praised him for being a good peasant of this new era . For someone from a peasant background, to work was glorious!
That was how this ruffian had become the leader of the Poplar Brigade . He had immediately seized an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girl for a wife, and he even had a son now .
He was an extremely dangerous man . At least, he was very dangerous to someone like Gu Qingyao, who was from a landlord family .
These were illogical times . One’s background determined everything .
Li Aiguo had been a vagrant and had no name . The students had given him the name of “Li Aiguo” after he became the brigade leader .
He approached and immediately looked contemptuous when he saw Gu Yunshuang . “Why are you making a fuss? Why aren’t you at home, taking care of your children and showing filial piety to your mother-in-law? Why are you making a commotion for nothing during the new year? A girl from a landlord family cannot change her habit of being a pampered young lady, is that it?”
“If you carry on making a fuss, I’ll teach you a sharp lesson outside the brigade office . Ungrateful wretch . ”
Gu Qingyao’s heart sank . This was the first time since her rebirth that she was experiencing the importance of background .
After many years of living in the age of liberty in her previous life, she could not get used to many things after her rebirth . But this incident had completely cleared her mind .
Gu Yunshuang was terrified . “I didn’t… Brigade leader… I didn’t…”
“Didn’t what?” Old Madam Li grew bolder when she saw that Li Aiguo was here . Her mean old eyes glared at them as she said, “You stole food from the house . How dare you deny it? Young ladies from landlord families are all finicky and always kick up a fuss . You’ve been with our family for so many years, but have only given birth to another worthless mouth . You’ve been a freeloader in our family for so many years . Is that fair to our Dahai?”
“Hurry up and get a divorce . Dahai, get rid of her . ”
Gu Qingyao saw that things were not going right, and Li Aiguo, in particular, was targeting them . They could not resist overtly . She must bring her younger aunt away today, and in such a way that Li Aiguo could not find fault with them .
In these times, if someone made a slip of the tongue in public, his words might be reported at some point in the future .
Gu Qingyao was filled with resentment when she thought of that . But outwardly, her tears began to fall .
Her previous fierce look had vanished, and was replaced with terror and helplessness .
Only now did she look like a young, teenage girl .
Gu Qingyao’s tears fell thick and fast and she sobbed furiously . “Wu wu wu, Younger Aunt, are you alright? Brigade leader, we didn’t, we really didn’t . My younger aunt only took some food from the kitchen for my younger cousin . She could not bear her child to be hungry . My Younger Aunt respects her elders and takes care of the children at home . She always takes care of her mother-in-law and her child . When she was misunderstood and beaten, she did not retaliate .
“Help! My aunt is bleeding! Wu wu wu! Now males and females are equal and women hold up half the sky! Madam, you cannot be prejudiced against girls! You can’t force a divorce on my younger aunt just because she hasn’t given the Li Family a son!
“Please, allow my younger aunt to go home! She’s had a miscarriage! Otherwise, she might die . There’s so much blood . She’s not going to make it . Help!”
Gu Qingyao wailed piteously, looking helpless and terrified . Meanwhile, Gu Yunshuang was still bleeding and the child, Li Fangting was so frightened that all she could do was weep .
