I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 253: Educated Youths Going to the Countryside in the 70s 42 (End)

Although Zhang Hong got married and had children, she never thought of staying in the countryside for the rest of her life, so when she was able to take the college entrance examination, she signed up for it.

Her husband Tiezhu did not stop her, but instead supported her very much.

This is rare because there are several educated youth in the village who are married, but they are afraid that they will abandon their children and men after entering university, so they are prevented from taking the college entrance examination.

Even if they have registered, their admission tickets will be secretly hidden.

Not only female educated youth faced this situation, but male educated youth did as well.

So compared with these people, it is rare that Zhang Hong took the college entrance examination and her husband allowed her to do so.

Zhang Hong worked very hard and was successfully admitted to a local university after taking the college entrance examination. Her man Tiezhu also moved to the city with her, their children and the family savings.

Usually Zhang Hong would go to school, and Tiezhu would set up a stall and do some small business.

After several years of hard work, Zhang Hong successfully graduated and got a job, and Tiezhu also opened a store. It can be said that their lives were prosperous.

It was when she returned to the village for the New Year that she heard the news of Fang Yun's death.

Wang Juan had been working as an educated youth in the village longer than Qingyue. Wang Lili, Li Chunling and Zhang Hong, who lived in the same room as her, had a good relationship. Gradually, Wang Juan became familiar with Zhang Hong and they became good friends.

So when Zhang Hong wrote to Wang Juan, she mentioned this matter. After all, Fang Yun was an educated youth just like them.

The other educated youth all had a good future. When they heard about Fang Yun's ending, all the previous quarrels and grudges were forgotten, and only sighs remained.

Qingyue knew how Fang Yun died.

After she and Jiang Xiangdong left the village to join the army, the situation was too tense in those years. She was afraid of being caught with something, so she didn't pay any attention to Fang Yun. She only went to the village a few times when Jiang Xiangdong was allowed to go home.

Every time I saw Fang Yun, she was either working or on her way to work.

The two of them had never said hello to each other.

When Fang Yun finally held on until the country allowed self-employed individuals, her long-dormant heart began to move. She felt that her hard work was finally coming to an end. She remembered clearly that it was after the opening up that Jiang Yuan quit his job and started to be a self-employed individual, and his business had never failed.

At first he just set up a stall, then it grew bigger and bigger, and then he became a rich man.

So as long as she could convince Jiang Yuan to quit his job and do business, she would be halfway to success.

Fang Yun couldn't hold back his eagerness, and when Jiang Yuan came back, he hinted to him to resign.

But how is that possible? Jiang Yuan has only been a formal employee for a short time, and he has always looked down on self-employed people. Besides, self-employed people are discriminated against nowadays. How can he be as envied as working in a factory? So no matter what Fang Yun says, he will not quit.

When Zhao Meihua found out about this, she scolded Fang Yun for being restless and wanting to kill Jiang Yuan.

After being beaten, Fang Yun didn't say anything for the time being.

But behind the scenes, she did a lot. She married Jiang Yuan not because she liked him, but because Jiang Yuan could give her a wealthy life.

So she doesn't care about his feelings at all.

No one knew what she had come up with, but Jiang Yuan was successfully fired from the factory.

At this time, Fang Yun took the opportunity to say those words again and asked him to do some small business.

This time, although Jiang Yuan still didn't want to go, his attitude softened.

After hearing that being a self-employed person could make a lot of money, Jiang Yuan started doing it.

Of course he didn't do it alone, but pulled Fang Yun along.

At first, the two wanted to sell clothes. Jiang Yuan asked his parents for some money, and the two went to the south to import a lot of goods. After buying them here, they wanted to take them to the north to sell.

But on the way back, the two of them didn't keep a close eye on the clothes they bought and all of them were stolen. Not only did they not make any money, they actually lost money.

So I had to go back in shame.

After this experience, Jiang Yuan was scared and he didn’t dare to go again. At first he thought it was very simple, but in fact it was completely different from what he thought. This trip was very tiring.

He wants to find another stable job.

Fang Yun changed her previous attitude of being silent and focused on work, and she often encouraged Jiang Yuan to try again.

But this time Jiang Yuan was completely indifferent. When Fang Yun was about to talk about this, he not only interrupted her, but also vented his dissatisfaction and anger about not being able to find a job on Fang Yun.

It is very difficult to find a job nowadays, and there is basically only one position for each person.

It's hard to find a good job without money or connections.

So Jiang Yuan stayed at home all the time. His parents only had him as their son, so they didn't say anything about him not going out to work. The family still had some savings and land, so they wouldn't starve to death.

And they became more and more dissatisfied with Fang Yun. It was all because of her. If it weren't for her, some of the family's money would have been wasted without even a sound being heard.

And Fang Yun is also useless. She has been married to his son for so many years, but she has only been pregnant once, and she had a miscarriage due to her carelessness.

I don’t know when she will be able to hold her grandson.

In recent years, because of the college entrance examination, many educated youth in the village chose to leave their wives and children in order to return to the city. In this case, she could also drive her daughter-in-law out and find a new wife for her son.

Fang Yun noticed it, but she couldn't leave. She hadn't yet started living the life of a rich lady with Jiang Yuan, so how could she leave? Was she going to let someone who came later reap the fruits of her labor? How could she do that?

Thinking back to all the years of non-stop work and ridicule, she had endured so much and given so much for Jiang Yuan, she couldn't turn back.

So she withstood the pressure and persisted for a few more years.

But seeing that Jiang Yuan still had no intention of doing business, she completely gave up, and then she became angry.

Looking at her calloused hands, touching her rough skin and skinny body, she didn't understand how she could have lived her life like this.

She is only in her twenties now.

She didn't think she was wrong. She blamed Jiang Yuan's family for everything. It was all because of them.

In order to take revenge on them, she observed for a long time before she found out where Zhao Meihua hid the money.

She took some money to buy pesticide and put it in the dinner she was making.

Jiang Yuan and his parents didn't expect that the food might be poisonous, so they drank it without hesitation. Soon, they foamed at the mouth and passed out.

Fang Yun was afraid that they would be rescued, so he stabbed them a few more times. After he was sure that they were all dead, he took the money and left the house.

The villagers soon realized something was wrong because Zhao Meihua liked to go out and chat with others. It was okay once and there was a reason to explain it, but after three or four times, they realized something was wrong.

So a few people went to Zhao Meihua's house. When they opened the door, they saw three people lying on the ground. They didn't know how long they had been dead. The bodies were cold and smelled bad.

After calling the police, the murderer was quickly identified as Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was living a carefree life outside with the money, leaving traces everywhere, and he was arrested in less than a day.

He was eventually executed.

Qingyue didn't say anything about Fang Yun's death, but changed the topic with Wang Juan and talked about other things.

What is the job like? What to do if the child is naughty?

The two chatted for a while and then separated. Qingyue wanted to see other attractions, while Wang Juan went to find her husband and children.

Wang Juan turned around and couldn't help but look back. Coincidentally, she saw Jiang Xiangdong holding Qingyue's hand and interlocking their fingers, while Qingyue's son followed her closely on the other side.

She looked forward again and saw her husband smiling and waving at her, and the daughter in his arms was also calling for her mother.

very nice.

They all have their own wonderful lives.

The long years I spent as an educated youth seem like a thing of my previous life.
