Chapter 29  : Abnormal Reasonability

After work in the afternoon, Jiang Chun found out that Yu Bing had been called to clean the cowshed. When she thought of Sun Wang and Li Ping’s relationship, she knew that this matter must have started because of her. She felt very sad and wanted to go do it for Yu Bing.

Yu Bing said, “Please don’t. If I don’t go this time, who knows what I’ll do next time?”

Jiang Chun felt a little uncomfortable. “But if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have encountered this.”

Yu Bing knew that her comforting words would only make Jiang Chun continue to insist, so she changed the topic and said with a smile, “Then you should go back and cook immediately. I’m starving now. You have to let me eat when I get home later.”

Jiang Chun knew his best friend’s good intentions and didn’t beat around the bush. He planned to use his remaining egg to steam a hibiscus egg for Yu Bing.

As soon as Yu Bing arrived at the cowshed, she saw an old lady in her sixties bending down and shoveling cow feces with great effort. A cow’s feces weighed more than twenty pounds. The ground was covered with grass, and it was very difficult to shovel cow feces mixed with cow urine.

This old lady was probably a person who was sent to the He Mountain Brigade and lived in a simple house surrounded by wooden boards beside the cowshed.

Yu Bing glanced at the dark house outside and couldn’t see anything. The wooden house didn’t even have a window, and there were some gaps between the wooden boards. No light could enter a house like this, but the winter wind could.

Yu Bing walked forward and said, “Grandma, rest for a while. I was sent by the village chief to clean the cowshed.”

The old lady’s hand stopped for a moment. She glanced at Yu Bing and continued working without saying anything.

Seeing this, Yu Bing didn’t say anything further. She took the tools and started to work. Just as she cleaned a place and piled the cow dung together, she straightened her back and wanted to stand up straight for a while. Then, she saw Xiao Sheng walk out of the wooden house with a jar. Yu Bing stared in shock as Xiao Sheng placed the jar on the ground and took the old lady’s shovel.

The old lady didn’t let go and secretly gestured to Yu Bing with her eyes.

Xiao Sheng said softly, “Grandma, I know her. Don’t worry, I’ll clean up. You can go in first.”

The old lady looked at the two of them and entered the wooden house uneasily.

Yu Bing, who was cleaning beside Xiao Sheng, couldn’t help but tease softly, “Xiao Sheng, not bad. You can go wherever there’s danger.”

In this era, people who were associated with the Black Five would be ostracized. Once they were discovered, it would be considered light punishment if they only had to reflect on themselves in front of the entire village. In the future, they wouldn’t get any share of the good government policies.

Xiao Sheng ignored Yu Bing’s words and asked, “Were you punished by the Sun family?”

This matter involved Jiang Chun, so Yu Bing naturally wouldn’t reveal anything. “I don’t know. Perhaps.”

Xiao Sheng didn’t ask further. With a strong labor force like Xiao Sheng, they finished the work that would have took them two hours in half an hour.

The two of them returned home one after another. When Yu Bing reached the door of the house, she deliberately waited for Xiao Sheng. When Xiao Sheng walked to her side, she said, “Thank you, although you didn’t specifically help me.”

Yu Bing could tell that Xiao Sheng was very familiar with the person living in the wooden house. She guessed that Xiao Sheng often went to help out.

“It’s nothing. Come to my house tonight after it gets dark.” After saying that, he walked straight to his house.

After showering at night, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun marinated the mustard vegetables that had been washed and dried in the kitchen at noon. Yu Bing placed the mustard vegetables into the boiled rice water and when it was hot enough, she fished it out and placed it in the jar she had bought.

Yu Bing sprinkled the salt into the rice water and said with feigned nonchalance, “Chun Chun, I have something to tell you.”

Jiang Chun, who was helping, replied, “Go ahead.”

Yu Bing leaned close to Jiang Chun’s ear and whispered, “Xiao Sheng and I are going to make jam and sell it.”

When Jiang Chun heard this, her eyes widened instantly. She hurriedly moved to the kitchen window and looked out. Although she knew that there was a wall outside the house, such a big matter made Jiang Chun feel that it wasn’t safe to say it no matter where they were. She turned around and said anxiously, “You’re crazy! If you get caught, being punished with labor reform is already considered light punishment!”

Yu Bing said softly, “Don’t be nervous. I’m only responsible for making it. Xiao Sheng is responsible for the rest. After you fell asleep last night, I secretly went to his house to make loach mustard soup and asked him to sell it.”

Jiang Chun pressed her hand to her chest to calm herself down.

In her eyes, Yu Bing had always been an introverted and well-behaved girl. However, she also realized that ever since she left the Yu family, Yu Bing had completely changed.

Yu Bing decided to take advantage of this matter to rationalize her abnormality after her rebirth. Otherwise, as time passed, Jiang Chun would definitely become more suspicious. However, she didn’t intend to let anyone know this secret.

So she looked at Jiang Chun and said slowly, “Do you think I’m different from before?”
