Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect
Chapter 21, the first female character in this historical novel.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Qi, with a hint of white at the corner of her mouth, looked at Shen Mingzhu curiously. These words must have come from someone close to her.
She was curious as to who he was from the Shen family.
Shen Mingzhu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief before sulking and saying, "You know I graduated this year and have some job prospects, which should be a good thing, but I never expected someone to report my family."
Every household was required to have a child sent to the countryside; this was a new policy.
There were only her and her brother Shen Zhuo in their family.
"As you know, my parents love me dearly and think it's safer for boys to go to the countryside than girls, so they plan to send my brother while I stay in the city."
Wang Qi nodded.
The purpose of going to the countryside was also because there was too much population in the city, but not enough jobs.
Young people getting together can easily cause unrest; it would be better for them all to contribute to the country.
Shen Mingzhu: "I was so grateful to my brother that I got so excited that I decided to go to his workplace to find him and treat him to lunch at a state-run restaurant."
She is a person with strong initiative; she does what she wants to do immediately.
"But I never expected that my brother, Shen Zhuo, would come out with a girl. The two of them were very affectionate, like an engaged couple."
She was incredulous at the time.
How could her brother show affection for a female comrade just before he's about to go to the countryside? Isn't that just holding her back?
But another thought also appeared in her mind at the same time.
Shen Zhuo doesn't want to go to the countryside.
He planned to get married and stay in the city so that even his parents couldn't separate him from his wife and send him to the countryside.
"My mind was in a mess at the time. I followed behind the two of them until we reached the department store. Shen Zhuo went to the restroom, and that's when I showed up."
Shen Mingzhu's eyes were deep and thoughtful: "I asked that comrade, and sure enough, he's planning to get married."
Wang Qi: "After that?" What did you do?
Shen Mingzhu smiled and looked down. Her brother was no good. He had promised her and her parents, but then turned around and did something like stabbing her.
She isn't either.
Back home, she took her household registration booklet and went directly to the educated youth office to get her brother a rural assignment.
"I'm going to the factory to find my dad and ask him to call my brother so he can come home tonight." She has a surprise for her brother.
Shen Mingzhu hesitated, "I came to see you because I'm not ready to have a falling out." She wouldn't hide it; she would tell her parents directly.
Her brother plotted against her.
She was just retaliating.
No matter how reasonable it may seem, it cannot conceal the fact that their sibling relationship was not as close as it appeared.
Wang Qi tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "We'll fall out sooner or later, unless you plan to go to the countryside." Only then can you maintain your sibling relationship.
"But are you willing?"
Shen Mingzhu: "Don't talk about whether I'm willing or not, it's unlucky. I can't even accept the thought of going to the countryside." She had seen her sister who had returned from visiting relatives in the countryside.
He was four or five years older than her, but he looked more than ten years older.
This is not the most terrible.
The worst thing is not being able to find a place with a clear and just legal system, especially for female comrades sent to the countryside.
Wang Qi finished her ice cream: "That's good. If you don't want to go, you'll have to pay a small price, like having a temporary falling out with your brother."
"A temporary falling out?"
"Hmm." Wang Qi thought Mingzhu wasn't very bright today: "He's gone to the countryside, he definitely needs money, ration coupons, and supplies."
Not everything is in your hands.
As the one in charge, you have the power to give more or less.
At that time, Mingzhu's brother will definitely make up with her.
Shen Mingzhu understood.
He reached out and cupped Wang Qi's face, then kissed her: "My clever darling, thank you, I understand."
"I'll buy you new clothes after I get my salary from work."
"Great, Sister Mingzhu has good taste; the ones she buys must be beautiful," Wang Qi praised the cakes she hadn't even eaten yet.
Shen Mingzhu: "Absolutely."
After leaving the park, Shen Mingzhu first escorted Wang Qi to her doorstep, and only after she entered the house did she head towards her own home.
Director Shen's family lived on the fifth floor in a large house of eighty square meters.
Shen Mingzhu stood outside the door, her expression calm. She took a few deep breaths and pushed the door open.
However, upon seeing the people inside, he was taken aback.
Inside the house, the parents looked grim, barely managing to maintain a semblance of composure. The older brother, Shen Zhuo, had a gentle expression, but his eyes betrayed a hint of panic. Beside him sat a pretty young woman.
It was the guy she saw being intimate with Shen Zhuo at noon.
Seeing her come in, Shen Zhuo's voice was tinged with laughter: "Mingzhu, did you take out the family's household registration book to play with?"
Shen's parents' faces darkened even further.
"Give it to my brother, I need it."
Factory Director Shen was originally a soldier who had been transferred to civilian work. He had a bad temper, and when he saw Shen Zhuo still smiling and asking for his family's household registration book, his face turned as cold as ice. You could feel the chill even without touching it.
Shen Mingzhu came in and closed the door. She sat down next to her parents and ignored Shen Zhuo's words.
Curious, she asked, "How did you two run into each other?"
As her younger sister, she knew Shen Zhuo to some extent. Logically speaking, Shen Zhuo wouldn't bring anyone home before they got their marriage certificate.
He liked to be thorough in everything, and only after obtaining the marriage certificate could Shen's parents stop forcing him to go to the countryside.
Otherwise, if word gets out, it could cause the couple to separate, which would be inappropriate and damage their reputation.
Shen's father said sarcastically, "Your mother thinks that since your brother is going to the countryside, every meal he comes home will be one less. There's nothing to do at the factory, so she takes half a day off to come home, buy him fish and meat, and cook for him."
"I didn't expect to run into your brother on his way home, stealing the family's household registration book like a thief."
"He plans to get married and send you to the countryside."
When he said his last words, Mr. Shen's voice trembled. He knew his son was cunning, but he never expected that he would scheme against his own sister.
Not only Shen's father, but Wei's mother was also extremely disappointed.
If you don't want to agree, you can say so openly. Do you think those two can force you?
But while you agree on the surface, you secretly plot against them. Neither of them believes they can raise such a calculating child.
Shen Zhuo lowered his head. The girl beside him had a calm expression; she knew what Shen Zhuo was planning.
Use marriage to avoid being sent to the countryside.
Surprisingly, Shen Mingzhu remained calm, merely glancing at Shen Zhuo indifferently, without any outbursts of protest or commotion.
He seemed like an outsider.
Shen's father, Wei's mother, and Shen Zhuo all noticed that something was wrong with her.
Because she didn't even offer basic criticism, unlike her.
Shen Zhuo's mind went blank for a moment: "Mingzhu, what... what did you take the household registration book for?"
Shen's father and mother looked at her.
As everyone expected, Shen Mingzhu took out her household registration booklet and eighty yuan from her pocket. She stood up, bent down, and handed it to Shen Zhuo.
"Brother, I already knew about your plans at noon."
"I am very sad and upset."
"This afternoon, I went to the educated youth office to help you with your procedures for going to the countryside. This is the money you'll receive for going to the countryside."
Her expression held a sense of satisfaction after revenge: "Brother, a bet is a bet."
