Quick Transmigration: Su Cha's Life in That Era

Meeting Hu Bani's awkward gaze and feeling the small hand threateningly pinching his soft flesh on his waist from behind, Qiao Jianshe gave Hu Bani an awkward smile.

"Auntie, Su Cha is still young. As you can see, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Su Cha poked her little head out from Qiao Jianshe's waist and nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly, exactly. What bad intentions could I possibly have? I just wanted to see my partner off."

Qiao Jianshe: I'm really not your boyfriend!

You're only fourteen.

Are you trying to send me away with a peanut?

Hu Bani pointed at Su Cha.

"Can't you learn something good at such a young age?"

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Su Cha was a little nervous. As a result, the people around her, who didn't mind the drama, started to stir things up.

"That brat deserves a beating."

"That's right, it's only because Old Su spoils her. If it were me, I would beat her eight times a day and whip her with willow branches, and see if she would dare to cause trouble again."

"Bani, beat her up. She's so shameless at such a young age. What will she be like when she's seventeen or eighteen?"

"If you don't clean it up now, you'll regret it later."

"If she doesn't listen to beating, starve her. Starve her for a few days and she'll behave. If she dares to do it again, beat her and starve her again. It won't take many times before she stops completely."

"A girl like that should be married off far away with a dowry as soon as possible, so she can never be seen again, lest she bring trouble to the family."

Some members who were just there for fun couldn't stand it anymore and started arguing with a few people.

"I have to say, you guys are really too harsh. This kid hasn't done anything truly heinous, so why are you all being so mean?"

The reason this child is like this is because of these gossipy people who said that the young soldier hugged him and ruined his innocence, and that he shouldn't have children with him in the future. They spread these rumors around the brigade, and the child heard them and believed them.

Hu Bani couldn't listen to it anymore either.

Her child is just a little mentally unstable, but when they talk about him, it's as if he's utterly wicked.

With his hands on his hips, he was about to launch into a tirade of abuse at several people.

Su Cha glanced at the group of people who had instigated her mother to hit her, grabbed Qiao Jianshe, and jumped up and down, shouting.

"If you want me to learn to be good, then you adults have to teach me something good first."

He pointed at those people.

"You, Sixth Aunt, your son Liu Mazi is blocking Wang, the educated youth, and insists on dating him. Doesn't he even take a good look at himself? Does he have the confidence to date an educated youth?"

He was so tall, I could see the top of his head even on tiptoe. He looked like a toad hopping around in the fields of Xigou. He had such high aspirations.

The educated youth refused, and your family made a huge fuss by not giving them anything, but then spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the educated youth Wang accepted eggs from Liu Mazi and even made Liu Mazi help with chores.

That's ridiculous. You don't even have chickens, so where did the eggs come from? Did you steal them?

Liu Mazi is the one who won't even help you if your mother falls down. He's more suited to do the work.

That's blatant lying.

No one in the brigade believed it, and Wang Zhiqing ignored it. Then rumors spread that his son had done this and that to that person, and that there was a birthmark on her buttocks.

The rumors were so detailed and convincing that if I hadn't secretly watched Wang, a former educated youth, taking a bath at the educated youth settlement and discovered she didn't have a birthmark, I would have almost believed them.

That's so hurtful.

Your family is a cancer on the brigade, a disgrace to the brigade, a stumbling block to our brigade's goal of becoming an advanced brigade, and has a terrible reputation in the surrounding area. Your family deserves the most credit for this.

"You even want my mom to beat me up? Go home and get yourself a beating before you come here spouting nonsense."

Ignoring the grateful look Wang Zhiqing gave her from behind the crowd, Su Cha stood with her hands on her hips.

This one's done, next one.

"You, Aunt Liu."

The agricultural technicians came to fix our tractor, and you forced your daughter to stage an accident to extort money. Don't doubt it, the trick I used to lie on the ground today was inspired by your teachings.

We're evenly matched, so don't look down on me yet; take a look at yourself covered in mud first.

"Are you still starving me? Did I eat your rice?"

"Grandma Zhao, no matter what I do, I'll do it openly and honestly. I'll still be a beautiful woman when I'm seventeen or eighteen. I won't let my younger sister go on blind dates. You'll be the one getting married."

Also, I saw you steal two eggs from my Grandma Liu's house last month. Did you return them?

Su Cha was fuming.

His eyes were fixed on one person.

She said she wanted to get married as soon as possible.

"Uncle Wang, you and the village next door..."

Wang Dashan broke out in a cold sweat.

Hu Bani reacted quickly and covered Su Cha's mouth.

My God, my daughter, why do you say everything?

Those trivial matters are fine to talk about, but if you spread this around, the Qiu family will be beaten to a pulp, and if word gets out, anyone who tries to cause trouble will be arrested. That would be a blood feud.

"Waaaaah..."

Su Cha looked at her mother.

A accusatory look in the eyes.

Mom, why are you covering my mouth? I haven't finished spitting it out yet.

Hu Bani gritted her teeth.

"Go home."

Su Cha pulled her mother's hand away, stopping abruptly, as if she had forgotten what she was talking about earlier.

But she believed that Aunt Qiu would definitely have doubts.

A son-in-law who moved into his wife's family home and is now being supported by her, and he's even having an affair—he deserves to be taught a lesson.

This bastard never kept his mouth shut after the original owner grew up.

No, there are too many things to do in the countryside; she needs to buy a miracle drug.

This will make it easier to put other people's sacks in the future.

Su Cha was dragged home by Hu Bani.

She refused.

"Mom, I haven't finished my important business yet."

"What important business do you have? Get out of here right now."

"What do I mean I don't have anything important to do? I have to get something for my boyfriend."

Qiao Jianshe: "..." You haven't forgotten me yet?

Su Cha turned her head and looked at Qiao Jianshe.

"Qiao Jianshe, you better remember this: you have a fiancée now. When you return to the army, you must take care of yourself."

A man who doesn't respect himself is like rotten cabbage. Do you hear me? Rotten cabbage can't be made into pickled cabbage or spicy cabbage.

You must be a good cabbage that can be made into sauerkraut and spicy cabbage!

Qiao Jianshe: "..."

Is she already his fiancée, not even his boyfriend?

"Qiao Jianshe, I'll miss you!"

"Qiao Jianshe, I will write to you!"

"Qiao Jianshe, this is our parting. You're like a lone tumbleweed on a long journey. Remember to think of me!"

"Qiao Jianshe, outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches to the horizon, the evening breeze brushes the willows and the flute's sound fades, the setting sun beyond the mountains, at the ends of the earth, my close friends are scattered, a pot of turbid wine exhausts the remaining joy, tonight's parting dream is cold, at the ends of the earth..."

Everyone: Why are they singing now?

Su Cha walked along the village path, not looking behind her, being pulled by her mother, singing songs without restraint, far away from Qiao Jianshe.

Qiao Jianshe watched the mother and daughter slowly walk away, his eyes filled with that unrestrained and arrogant figure.

What kind of family is the Su family that they could cultivate such a beautiful flower in this remote mountain valley?

Qin Mancang looked at Su Cha's retreating figure with loving eyes.

My heart is filled with the song.

Although I still felt a little reluctant and homesick from leaving, my steps were more steady and my determination to make a name for myself was stronger.

He raised his hand and patted Qiao Jianshe on the shoulder beside him.

"Let's go, good cabbage!"

Qiao Jianshe: "..."

The two of them were carrying bags, and Su Cha's singing could still be heard in the distance.

Two people, two directions, the distance between them growing ever wider.

Qiao Jianshe felt like he was going crazy.

I found myself feeling a strange sense of reluctance.

But this isn't his home.

It's all the song's fault.

It's all the singer's fault.

This parting is a farewell, and we may never see each other again.

The journey is long and the mountains are high; take care...
