Chapter 172: Big Injustice (End)

　　After taking a walk and eating ice cream, it was already dark when they came back. Fu Shaohua and Jiang Youtao stayed for a while and then went home.

　　Gu Nianwei brought her a midnight snack, which was vermicelli with garlic oysters and a piece of something that was obviously baked in the oven.

　　Jiang Youtao ate without changing her expression, after all, she had already drunk the pearl milk tea made by Gu Nianwei.

　　Gu Nianwei and Jiang Youtao gossiped about the family next door: "The family next door is from Shandong. Her family situation is different from other families."

　　Jiang Youtao picked up a piece of vermicelli with chopsticks and ate it. The chili garlic sauce was particularly delicious, which enhanced the freshness of the oysters. The vermicelli was also delicious, and the juice of the oysters and garlic made it particularly smooth.

　　Jiang Youtao said, "I was outside when she moved today, and I heard the old lady say that there are seven people in her family, and her son-in-law is an educated youth who returned to the city after being admitted to university. What else is going on here?"

　　"Then why not?" Gu Nianwei corrected herself: "Do you know who the seven people in her family are?"

　　Jiang Youtao shook her head. Gu Nianwei was very interested. "The educated youth who returned to the city, his wife, and Old Lady Bai are a family of three. The remaining four are the educated youth's eldest sister-in-law, two of her children, and one of her younger brothers-in-law."

　　Jiang Youtao has been following the story for many years, and when she heard this, she knew there was a lot of stories behind it: "Are these people the educated youth who returned to the city? What about their identities? If one person brought six people back, wouldn't they be considered blind migrants?"

　　Among Gu Nianwei's tenants, there was a person who was particularly nosy. She had already found out all these things: "They used to live in the home of a returned educated youth, but later they had a fight with the family of the returned educated youth, so he rented a house. Now that he has rented a house and has a decent place to live, how can he still be a migrant worker?"

　　The situation this year is somewhat different from that in history. The rules for educated youth returning to the city are particularly relaxed. It is not uncommon for them to return to the city with their families. As long as they rent a house and have a fixed residence, they are not considered blind migrants.

　　Jiang Youtao looked at Gu Nianwei with sparkling eyes: "How did they fight?"

　　"The elder sister-in-law of the returned educated youth, she is a divorced woman with a son. It is said that she is not very decent. She lived in the home of the returned educated youth for less than half a month, but she caused several fights between the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law of the returned educated youth. As for this old lady Bai, she favors the eldest daughter and the youngest son. When her eldest daughter quarreled with the parents of the returned educated youth, she also intervened. The two families quarreled so much that the parents of the returned educated youth drove them all out in the end."

　　At this point, Gu Nianwei felt that the words "returned educated youth" were strange. After all, they were also returned educated youth. When she said this, she felt as if she was in his shoes. "Oh, the name of this returned educated youth is quite nice, Su Zhiyuan. The house next door to us was found by Su Zhiyuan's classmates."

　　Having been friends for so many years, Gu Nianwei meant to tell Jiang Youtao that the rent for the house next door was also paid by Su Zhiyuan.

　　Jiang Youtao smacked her lips. She would not live in seclusion just because she was rich. If Gu Nianwei's yard was demolished and rented separately, the main house could be rented for seven yuan a month, and the side rooms for five yuan. The house next door was smaller than theirs, but it also had three main rooms and four side rooms. If the whole house was rented, each room would cost more than ten or twenty yuan.

　　Su Zhiyuan had some money on him, so Jiang Youtao commented: "What a great enemy." (TL's Note: The great enemy here was written as '大敌' (dà dí) in Chinese which literally means 'formidable foe' or 'great enemy'. In this passage though, it's being used as a figurative or ironic sense than it's literal meaning, in which she's referring to him as a 'self-sacrificing character'. Probably something close to a pushover person or something? Anyway, in the following chapters, I'll be using the word 'great enemy' or 'enemy' for how Jiang Youtao and others describe the ML of this SW.)

　　Gu Nianwei nodded in agreement: "Of course. If he wasn't actually an enemy, how could he bring his wife and family back to the city and support them? How unfair would that be!"

　　The two of them had seen quite a few great enemies, but until now, Su Zhiyuan was the only extremely one.

　　Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei praised him for a long time.

　　After satisfying her gossip desire, Gu Nianwei went back contentedly. Jiang Youtao washed the dishes, brushed her teeth, and lay on the bed, letting the melon-eating system play Crayon Shin-chan to watch.

　　She had finally finished watching this TV series, which she had watched on and off during her childhood.

　　It rained at night, and it was still drizzling the next morning. She decided not to ride her bike and walked out with Gu Nianwei and Fu Shaohua holding an umbrella. At the entrance of the alley near the school, Xu Qingqing's small stall was still open for business, so they decided not to leave and sat down to eat something together.

　　Xu Qingqing is the heroine of He Xunrao, the male protagonist of the novel No. 15.

　　Xu Qingqing sells tofu pudding, soy milk, fried cakes and cold noodles. Jiang Youtao likes cold noodles, so she ordered a fried cake. Fu Shaohua is a genuine northerner and likes salty tofu pudding, so he ordered two fried cakes. Gu Nianwei likes to drink soy milk, and a serving of soy milk and a serving of fried cake can make her full.

　　When Xu Qingqing saw that it was them, she specially prepared some more food for them and also served them a portion of shredded salted dumplings mixed with sesame oil.

　　Although it was a rainy day, there were still many people coming to have breakfast. After breakfast, the group continued to walk towards school. They went to the dormitory to get their books and went directly to the classroom.

　　When Xu Manqiu saw them coming, she grabbed her book and followed them. She now felt very happy every day. Her teachers could answer all her questions. She was deeply immersed in the ocean of mathematics.

　　The three of them parted in the teaching building, and just as they entered the classroom and sat down, the teacher came.

　　Before the class, she focused on the case of Xu Aiyu, who was sentenced to three years in prison.

　　As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the students in the audience started talking about all sorts of things. The teacher waited until they had finished their discussion before saying, "Students, although our country is not as bad as it was thirty years ago, it is still backward in all aspects, especially in terms of laws and regulations. Many places are not perfect. This is already the longest sentence the court can give."

　　"I know three years is not as long as a lifetime, but three years is a very long time for a person, especially three years in prison. Not to mention waiting for her to be released from prison, she has lost the opportunity to take the exam forever."

　　As the teacher spoke, the students gradually calmed down. Although they were indignant, they also knew that Xu Aiyu would not be sentenced to a heavier sentence. Three years was a time that everyone could accept.

　　The teacher waited until they were completely calm before starting the class.

　　Xu Aixin was writing furiously in the classroom of the 78th Literature Department. It didn't matter to her how long Xu Aiyu was sentenced. Just like her parents' fate, she was unwilling to care.

　　Call her cold or indifferent, the unequal treatment she has received has existed since she was a child, not just now. The hurt is real to her, and that is enough. She doesn't want to listen to their difficulties.

　　There is no hardship. Any claims of hardship are just excuses.

　　Xu Aixin just wants to study hard, get a good job after graduation, and live the rest of her life well.

　　No one discuss with Xu Aixin about Xu Aiyu's sentencing, so Xu Aixin felt particularly relieved. Look, there are still good people in this world, aren't there?

　　After class, Jiang Youtao stood in the corridor. After a while, Fu Shaohua came out and stood next to Jiang Youtao. Jiang Youtao asked Zhu Xiangfeng, "How is he now?"

　　"I heard from others that he couldn't keep up with his studies and wasn't as good as before. He was always scolded by the teacher. He also loved to hook up with other people's girlfriends. He was beaten several times and even reported to the Academic Affairs Office. The director of the Academic Affairs Office said that if he behaved like this again next time, he would be expelled from school."

　　"Deporting him to expel him" is a more euphemistic way of saying it. The original words of the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office were that if he did it again, he would be kicked out.

　　Although Zhu Xiangfeng felt that academic qualifications were not important, he decided to put those little thoughts aside and finish college first, at least until the reform and opening up in 1980.

　　Small World No. 18 and its derivative small worlds are already running stably. Jiang Youtao even took ten minutes to check out what will happen to Zhu Xiangfeng in the future.

　　This man was still lustful, and after the reform and opening up, he went straight into business and saved some money thanks to his prophecy in his previous life. After he had money, he started to show off, and he hooked up with a young woman who also made money by setting up a stall, and used sweet words to coax her into being with him. But before they had a few sex, he was caught by the young woman's husband, who beat him half to death, and all the money he had earned was taken away.

　　He still didn't give up, started making money again and hooked up with a married woman, and was eventually beaten to death.

　　Jiang Youtao was speechless after reading it: [ Tong'er, do you think Zhu Xiangfeng is crazy? Is a married woman really that fragrant? ]

　　Jiang Youtao didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked. She suddenly became curious about the world before Xu Aiyu was reborn. The melon-eating system was also very curious and quickly retrieved the original trajectory of that small world.

　　After graduating from university, Xu Aixin was transferred to work at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Xicheng District. Zhu Xiangfeng had already worked there for a year. He was attracted by Xu Aixin's beauty and abilities and began to pursue her passionately.

　　Xu Aixin had never had an easy life, until one company dinner, she drank too much and woke up the next day lying in the same bed with Zhu Xiangfeng. Xu Aixin took medicine, but still got pregnant. Under Zhu Xiangfeng's threat, Xu Aixin thought about it again and again and married him.

　　After marriage, the two did not live together. Zhu Xiangfeng had women outside all the time, including widows and young women. At the same time, he also accepted a lot of bribes. Finally, Xu Aixin was disgusted. She collected evidence and reported him by real name. Zhu Xiangfeng stepped down. The men of the young women he had hooked up with found out and rushed to beat him at the scene of his trial with a big iron rod. His legs were broken, and his third leg was also broken.

　　At this time, Xu Aiyu had been reborn for two years.

　　Jiang Youtao sighed, this scumbag, it really wasn't something that could be made in a day or two, Zhu Xiangfeng had always been such a scumbag.

　　After a day of classes, the rain stopped in the afternoon, and Gu Nianwei left the classroom and went with Han Yanqing. Jiang Youtao took a detour to the melon seed factory. It made no difference whether she was there or not. She left after receiving the dividends for the first half of the month. She didn't want to get involved in the management of the melon seed factory at all, so she just quietly took the dividends from the recipe.

　　It was not yet dark when she returned to her home. At the door, he met a young man standing in a daze at the door next door. Jiang Youtao walked past him without attracting his attention.

　　Jiang Youtao took out the key and opened the door.
