Chapter 1331: Cannon Fodder in the 1980s 2
After going to the countryside to join the ranks as an educated youth in Shishui Village, Liu Meizhen's life is a high-spirited and uplifting song of struggle with the main theme of bittersweet and sweet.
Liu Meizhen went to the countryside just after graduating from high school, and stayed in Shishui Village for three years. She is a diligent and conscientious person who is full of love for her work.
As an only daughter in the city, Liu Meizhen had never done farm work before she went to the countryside, but when she arrived in Shishui Village, she gritted her teeth and went to the field to plant rice, doing all kinds of dirty work.
Not long after she went to the countryside, Haishi issued a new policy. Anyone who has a hospital certificate or an only child can go through the procedures for returning to Haishi.
Liu Meizhen, as the only child, can return to Haishi according to the policy.
However, the composition of the family is poor, and the livelihood of her parents is difficult. Liu Meizhen may not be able to arrange a job after returning. She made a sensible decision to stay in the countryside to receive education from poor and lower-middle peasants, just to save some food for her family.
In 1976, the state put it into practice, returning some of the property that had been raided, repayment of fixed interest and wages that had been suspended within ten years, and returned the confiscated passbooks and houses.
For the Liu family, this is very good news. Liu Meizhen's parents wrote to her to tell her the good news, and at the same time asked her to go through the formalities for returning to the city.
Before Liu Meizhen could be happy, a telegram came with bad news—her parents were accidentally electrocuted on a thunderstorm night.
For a young girl, her parents are her whole world.
The hasty death of her parents made Liu Meizhen's mood sink to the bottom. When she went back to the funeral, she was so sad that she collapsed on the mourning hall.
The country implements the policy, and the Liu family, who has always been regarded as a plague by relatives, has become a sweet pastry. They looked into Liu Meizhen's eyes like a hungry wolf seeing food.
The Liu family's two-story western-style building became the first hunting target of each relative.
Compared with those relatives with ulterior motives, her aunt Song Weihong, who has always had a close relationship with the Liu family, seemed more cordial.
Song Weihong's family has three daughters and two sons. The third daughter, Yang Juanjuan, is the same age as Liu Meizhen.
The death of her parents caused a huge blow to Liu Meizhen. Under the extreme grief, she suffered from depression. She was like a walking corpse and lost interest in everything around her.
People of this era don't know enough about depression, and Liu Meizhen's abnormality is a sign of her mental illness to others.
The house leak happened to be raining overnight. At this time, a rustic young man suddenly rushed to the countryside, insisting that he was Liu Meizhen's lover, and entangled to register her marriage.
This person was Wang Aimin, who had been pestering Liu Meizhen when she cut the queue.
Song Weihong and her daughter Yang Juanjuan often ran to Liu Meizhen's residence to take care of her and take the opportunity to beat the autumn wind.
After Wang Aimin appeared, the mother and daughter said good things about him in front of Liu Meizhen and wanted her to be with him.
In order to let Liu Meizhen relax, the mother and daughter kept praising the greatness of the peasants. Marrying the peasants was in response to the national policy. Seeing Tianer, Wang Aimin blocked Liu Meizhen in various places.
Liu Meizhen was originally a little depressed, but being so entangled by Wang Aimin, her mood became even more unstable.
She resolutely refused this marriage. Who would have guessed that in the middle of the night, Wang Aimin sneaked into the small building and violated her by violent means.
For Liu Meizhen, a girl who loves life and is innocent and romantic, Wang Aimin's violation was like a thunderbolt, blowing another hole in her already riddled heart.
She insisted on suing Wang Aimin, but her aunt Song Weihong advised her that it would be bad to spread such a thing out, and she also said that Wang Aimin was willing to join the family because she truly loved her, and although she was a little impulsive, she was also a good partner.
In the face of her aunt's persuasion, Liu Meizhen reiterated her position in shock.
Liu Meizhen decided to call the police. Wang Aimin panicked. He rushed to the small building and threatened Liu Meizhen fiercely, calling her a broken shoe he had played with. No man wanted to marry her, and he even called her mentally ill.
Not only that, Wang Aimin also beat Liu Meizhen. When the policeman wearing a big-brimmed hat arrived, he realized that the other party was really playing.
Wang Aimin, who was invincible before, was cowardly in an instant, shouting that Song Weihong was pulling the strings and letting him sleep with Liu Meizhen, saying that as long as she slept with her, she would be able to marry her back home.
Liu Meizhen was greatly surprised, and Song Weihong denied it, saying that it was Wang Aimin who was provoking the relationship between their aunts and nephews.
Wang Aimin was imprisoned for rape, and Liu Meizhen's suffering was far from over.
In this feudal era, the fact that she was raped was like a shame mark affixed to her body, and rumors were spreading.
Others made it up vividly. When Liu Meizhen was in the countryside, she and Wang Aimin were a young couple. Later, when she returned home, she regretted it, and the other party was unwilling to follow him.
It was also said that Liu Meizhen was on good terms with Wang Aimin and went on a blind date at the same time, which caused the other party to become angry and raped her.
This version of the story spreads the most because it is believed that flies don't bite flawless eggs.
If Liu Meizhen was a decent person, with so many educated youths, why would Wang Aimin follow her.
In the 1970s and 1980s, when folk customs were unprecedentedly conservative, Liu Meizhen's lawsuit almost destroyed her reputation.
In the eyes of the neighbors in the community, she is like the plague. Whenever Liu Meizhen goes out, everyone looks at her with disgust, and even accuses Sang and scolding Huai of using her to educate their children.
In less than a year, Liu Meizhen experienced the death of her parents, violated herself, suffered huge physical and mental trauma, and at the same time became a "man of the moment" that everyone could avoid.
Liu Meizhen's depression worsened and she had a tendency to seek death, but she was essentially a positive person, so she took the initiative to go to the hospital to see a doctor, trying to get out of this predicament.
Just when Liu Meizhen's mental state began to improve, Song Weihong sent her to a mental hospital due to her relationship.
Liu Meizhen was naturally reluctant to go to the mental hospital, but Song Weihong made perfect preparations, taking her previous cases and the drugs she was taking, and forcibly sent her in.
In 1977, the national policy changed greatly, the college entrance examination was resumed, and the educated youth who went to the countryside had a bright future, but these had nothing to do with Liu Meizhen.
In the name of her guardian, Song Weihong took over Liu Meizhen's house and moved her family into the Xiaoyang Building.
After resuming the college entrance examination, Yang Juanjuan worked hard to prepare, took the exam for two years, and finally was admitted to an ordinary university in Haishi.
The world outside is changing with each passing day, Liu Meizhen is trapped in a mental hospital, and she is in the company of mental patients, and her mental state is getting worse and worse.
In order to get the Liu family's house completely, Song Weihong forged a real estate transfer contract while visiting Liu Meizhen in a mental hospital.
She tricked Liu Meizhen into signing the notice of discharge from the hospital. After she signed it, she put the signature on the page of her handprint and put it in the property transfer contract.
