Chapter 1034: Creating Something from Nothing 3
Aunt Feng laughed, "It’s all because of a slab of meat that it has come to this! Feng Lei and Zhao Guihua had saved up their money for over half a year, and a few nights ago, they got up in the middle of the night to go to the city, bought a whole pig’s head and brought it back. They cleaned it and pickled it with salt, planning to eat it during the busy farming season so they wouldn’t run out of energy working. But who knew that last night, Li Guohong went and stole it. It wasn’t just a piece or two of meat; it was an entire pig’s head. How could they not get into a fight? Speaking of Li Guohong, it’s kind of funny, using his child’s illness and the desire to eat meat as an excuse—who’s kid can eat a whole pig’s head?"
"Wait a minute, Aunt Feng, Feng Lei? When did he change his name?" Feng Qingxue flashed a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Aunt Feng exclaimed, "Oh, that’s right, the names were changed. The eldest is named Feng Lei, and the second is named Feng Yu. They’ve dropped the ’Qing’ character in between."
Since she heard Feng Qingxue did not call them brother and sister-in-law, she knew that Feng Qingxue had no affection for them; thus, she went with the flow and called them by their names without referring to them as your older brother, your second brother, or your older sister-in-law, your second sister-in-law. It was quite perceptive of her.
To Feng Qingxue, whether the names were changed or not, it had no significance, and she did not inquire about the reason behind the name changes.
She didn’t ask, but upon arriving at her uncle’s house, Aunt Feng still brought up the reason.
"At the beginning of the year, a group of students came here to start a revolution, students from the city. They said the names Feng Lei and Feng Yu were frivolous and didn’t conform to regulations, so they ordered a name change to Feng Lei and Feng Yu, removing the ’Qing’ as a way of getting rid of old culture and old ideas. Also, they insisted that our brigade hand over a ’landlord’ for criticism and education. Our brigade is known for its poor mountains and bad waters; where would we get a landlord from? They said it was a political mission and forced you to detain Uncle, to create a ’landlord’ out of thin air."
