Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 111 The Sister-in-law Who Eloped 23
The next day, the team leader called several skilled bricklayers and carpenters in the village to build a house for Yuanchun's family.

In this day and age, there is no pay for helping people build houses, but meals are provided.

Yuanchun was living under someone else's roof and it was inconvenient for her to cook, so she paid them 80 cents per day, which was the highest wage at the time. The workers not only did not suffer any loss, but also made money, so they worked harder to help her.

On this day, Yuanchun was also helping to move bricks. Liu Baozhu and Liu Fucai suddenly ran over and rushed to her fiercely, "You bitch, did you withdraw our schooling? You took away our tuition and food rations, and you are giving it back..."

bang bang...

Yuanchun kicked them one by one, knocking them to the ground.

She sneered, "Your tuition? Your food? You come back and act like the boss at home. You don't even help people with oil cans. Where do you get tuition and food?"

"I only took the money and food I earned, but I didn't take a single thing from your Liu family. If you want tuition and food, you can't ask me."

Yuanchun stared at Liu Baozhu and Liu Fucai, who had become beggars after not seeing them for a month, and kept clicking her tongue, "When I was in the Liu family, I worked like a slave and raised you like young masters and young ladies. The clothes you wore were not even patched. Now look at you, oh my, without me, you are almost beggars."

"But don't worry, your brother will be back soon and will bring you a rich sister-in-law."

"Oh, you may not know this, but before your eldest brother divorced me, he married you a sister-in-law from the city, a nurse, who has a job, money, and is beautiful. Her father is a high-ranking officer in the army. Oh, by the way, your eldest brother has retired from the army and will be back in a few days. In the future, your eldest brother will work in the fields to earn work points to support your studies, and you can continue to be the eldest son and daughter."

"Besides, you have a wealthy sister-in-law, so you don't have to worry about not being able to pay for your studies."

Liu Baozhu, who had wanted to sit on the ground and cry, now had bright eyes and a look of anticipation on her face. "Qin Yuanchun, are you telling the truth? Did my elder brother really marry a rich city girl?" "How could I lie to you about this?"

Yuanchun rolled her eyes at her. "Otherwise, do you think that when I return to the village, I can ask the captain to issue a divorce certificate for your elder brother and me? It was because your elder brother abandoned his wife and married another man, and legally he has a legitimate wife, that I was forced to divorce your elder brother."

"Then...then was the money for building the house given to you by my eldest brother?" Liu Fucai's eyes swept over the brand new bricks and tiles, and he looked restless.

Yuanchun snorted, "Liu Fucai, you don't think that I have supported you and your brother for three years in vain, do you? Your eldest brother has abandoned me, isn't it only natural that I should get back the work points and food I earned in the past three years?"

"Yuanchun, it's right that you have to come back. Don't associate with someone as ungrateful as Liu Fusheng anymore."

"That's right. Liu Fusheng has been using you from the beginning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have quietly married another wife outside. He wanted you to help him support his brothers and sisters in the countryside while he could enjoy a carefree life in the army with his new wife."

"Yuanchun, you have encountered a Zhongshan wolf."

"From now on, don't bother with the Liu family anymore. You and Liu Fusheng are divorced, and you have nothing to do with the Liu family anymore. If the Liu family dares to bully you in the future, we won't let them."

Several bricklayers and carpenters who had benefited from this all spoke up to help Yuanchun.
