Chapter 7: Severing Relationship by Publishing in the Newspaper

Su An continued to make a fuss about breaking off relations, overwhelming the couple.

Chen Aimei, with her weak mental fortitude, fainted when she thought about her precious child going to the countryside to suffer.

Su An ignored Chen Aimei and wrote a letter of severance, forcing Su Guohua and Chen Aimei to press their fingerprints on it.

Su Guohua was relieved. It was better to get rid of this troublemaker early. Lately, their family seemed plagued by bad luck since Su An changed.

Su An left the Su family with a cool demeanor. She also planned to publish a statement in the newspaper, severing all ties with them.

Did Su Guohua and Chen Aimei think everything was over after she left? No, Su An had to continue to punish them. How else could she avenge her past life?

She quickly found a newspaper company and paid extra to have her statement published urgently.

She wasn’t short of money. Chen Aimei was usually stingy, and they had saved a lot.

Su An counted their cash and found over 1800 yuan. After selling her job and buying things, she still had over 300 yuan left, totaling over 2000 yuan.

Even if she did nothing, she could survive the years in the countryside. Once the college entrance exams resumed and the country opened up, there would be opportunities to make money everywhere.

Su An believed she could live a good life on her own.

Besides money, Chen Aimei had saved a lot of tickets: cloth tickets, cotton tickets, industrial tickets, sugar tickets…

Thinking about going to the countryside in two days, Su An returned to the department store.

She needed to buy more hard currency for the countryside, such as sugar, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Life in the countryside wasn’t easy, so she needed to buy more snacks.

Although there were supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside, many things couldn’t be found in small places like Beijing.

After a large purchase, Su An’s space was filled with things. She also prepared two large packages for herself, so she wouldn’t be suspected when she took some supplies after going to the countryside.

After making all the necessary arrangements, Su An waited for the day to go to the countryside.

Two days later, Su An was notified to go to the Youth Office, along with many other educated youths.

When Su An arrived, Su Guohua and Chen Aimei also sent Su Qiang to the Youth Office.

Su Yue also needed to go to the countryside, but because the hospital issued a certificate stating she was disabled, she didn’t have to go anymore.

But if the Su family had to choose, Su Yue would be better off in the countryside than in her current situation.

A woman who had lost her innocence and was disabled would have her whole life ruined.

Seeing Su An at the Youth Office, the Su family wanted to kill her.

It was all Su An’s fault. If she had given up her job to Su Yue or Su Qiang earlier, Su Qiang wouldn’t have to go to the countryside.

Although they hated her, Su Guohua and Chen Aimei couldn’t do anything about Su An. They couldn’t beat her, and provoking her would only bring trouble.

When Su Qiang was sent to the Youth Office, he cried and yelled, No, I don’t want to go to the countryside! I don’t want to go!

Woo woo, Mom and Dad, think of a way to take me back. I don’t want to go to the countryside.

Su Guohua and Chen Aimei felt distressed seeing him like this. Their baby had never suffered much, and now he would face hardship in the countryside.

Su Guohua comforted Su Qiang. Qiangzi, don’t cry. You’ve signed up to go to the countryside, so you must go.

But don’t worry, Mom and Dad will definitely find a way to get you back to the city when the time comes.

Su Qiang made a fuss for a while, but had to agree.

Dad, this is what you said. When I go to the countryside, you must find a way to get me back as soon as possible.

Okay, don’t worry. Dad will definitely remember it.

Chen Aimei wiped her tears and urged, Qiangzi, after you go to the countryside, you must take good care of yourself and write to your family if you have anything.

Su Qiang responded and then asked Su Guohua and Chen Aimei, Mom and Dad, when you get your salary, remember to send me money.

As long as there is money, I will not live badly in the countryside. If you don’t send me money, I will be finished.

Su An heard his words and sneered inwardly. What the hell is he thinking? Soon Su Guohua and Chen Aimei’s jobs will be in jeopardy. Where will they get their salary to send him?

Su Guohua and Chen Aimei responded, Okay, Qiangzi, don’t worry. We will definitely remember to send you money.

Su Qiang’s emotions finally calmed down.

They went to the registration desk of the Youth League Office, and everyone checked their assigned locations.

When the Su family saw that Su Qiang was assigned to the harsh Northwest, they felt dizzy.

It would have been fine if he was assigned to a better place, but he was assigned to the worst one!

Chen Aimei felt sorry for her son and immediately asked the staff, Comrade, can you change the place where my son is assigned?

My son has been spoiled since he was a child, and he can’t stand going to a place like the Northwest.

The staff had received special instructions from Gao’s father not to change Su Qiang’s assignment.

Hearing Chen Aimei’s request, he immediately scolded, Do you think the Youth Educated Office is run by your family?

You can send your son to the countryside wherever you want? If your family is like this, won’t our Youth Educated Office be in chaos?

The educated youth are going to the vast world to make great achievements. Your family’s ideological awareness is really problematic.

Think about the 25,000-mile Long March. Our ancestors did not feel tired to have our New China.

Your young people can’t bear this little hardship. Are they qualified to be new youths?

The staff scolded her, and the people around looked at Chen Aimei with contempt.

Chen Aimei didn’t dare to make trouble anymore. If she was accused of having problems with her ideological awareness, she might lose her job.

Just thinking about her precious child going to the Northwest to suffer, Chen Aimei’s eyes turned red.

Su An watched like she was enjoying a good show.

When they sent her to the Northwest in her previous life, why didn’t they think about her hard life?

Now, Su Qiang would suffer the same as Su An had.
