Cleaning up the aftermath?

So funny!

Why don’t you talk about providing for her in her old age?

Have you ever thought about providing for her in her old age?

Qian Guilan had already thought about it. When Dazhuang and Erzhuang grew up, they might become even lazier. She and Ye Zuyang would earn work points to support them.

When I can no longer work, I won’t even be able to buy rice!

"Can we rely on those two?" Qian Guilan laughed. "Stop joking! Hurry up, Ye Zuyang, get a divorce first. I can't take care of this mess in your family anymore!"

The Ye family made such a big noise that all the neighbors came out to watch.

I didn't expect that Qian Guilan, such an honest woman, would actually ask for a divorce.

Someone outside the yard started to advise:

"Guilan, you're already that old now, let's talk it over."

There are also people who refuse to compromise: "If it were me, I would leave too."

Feng Banqin was unhappy and shouted at the people outside: "What are you yelling about? You haven't even cleaned up your own shit yet! And you come to point fingers at others!"

"That's enough!" Ye Youcai threw the water pipe to the ground, "You——"

Before he could finish his words, someone outside came and shouted, "Oh no! Old Ye family, your Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are at the village entrance!"

I hadn't found him for a few days, so I was just about to go look for him after breakfast.

It just appeared by itself?

Feng Banqin and Yuan Chunhua were the most excited. They didn't care about Qian Guilan at all. They ran out and grabbed the person who was talking and asked, "Where are you?"

"He's lying at the entrance of the village. Go quickly."

Ye Youcai still cared more about his grandson, so he went out to see people with his second son and the whole family.

Only Ye Zuyang's family is left.

Qian Guilan: "It's just right that you're leaving. Let's get things done."

Ye Zuyang felt as if he had lost all his strength. He gritted his teeth and said, "Guilan, if you give me a few more days, I will definitely be able to persuade my parents to separate the family property."

Qian Guilan shook her head: "Let's get a divorce first, and then we can separate the family later. Then you can find me. If we can still live together, then we can make do. If not, then forget it."

…

After dinner, Jiang Lin cleared the dishes and went out to wash some things.

Su Yuhe stood at the door with her hands folded, watching Jiang Lin scrubbing the sheets: "Have my parents gone home?"

Jiang Lin hummed, "They should be on the train by now. They didn't ask me to see them off, but I asked Ding Huai to take them to dinner and helped see them off."

Speaking of Ding Huai, Su Yuhe couldn't help but say, "You two have a pretty good relationship. Why haven't I heard you mention such a person before?"

"That's how it was. Their family was also a landlord, and we used to have dealings with each other. Later, they fled to the Soviet Union and just happened to escape that period."

Su Yuhe sighed a little: "Did I come back just to attend your wedding?"

Jiang Lin paused: "About the same."

The two talked for a while, and after the sheets and other things were hung up, Ye Yunshu just came out: "Yuhe, have you eaten?"

Su Yuhe nodded: "I have eaten. Aunt Yun, have you eaten?"

Jiang Lin came over and asked, "Still calling me Auntie Yun?"

Su Yuhe's face flushed. Before she could speak, Ye Yunshu smiled and said, "I haven't paid you enough to change your name yet, so it's normal for you to call me Auntie Yun. Yuhe, come inside. Mother wants to talk to you."

Su Yuhe and Jiang Lin looked at each other, said nothing, and walked into the main room.

The old lady sat upright on the kang and beckoned Su Yuhe over: "The world has changed, and the custom of serving tea has been abandoned, but there are some things left by our ancestors that we cannot forget."

Su Yuhe blinked and wanted to ask what it was.

The old lady took out a gray cloth bag, and with shaking hands, she slowly took out a dark red square cloth box.

When she opened it, she found it was a jade table.

The bracelet is very transparent, with strands of spicy green color floating in it.

Su Yuhe didn’t know much about jadeite, but her breath was taken away when she saw the bracelet for the first time. It was so beautiful!

If this bracelet were put into the future, it would be impossible to buy it without paying seven cents.

The old lady took Su Yuhe's hand and put it on hers: "This is not a family heirloom, so your mother didn't have it. It was my dowry, and I'm giving it to you as a compensation for changing your name."

Shi Kangyuan watched from the side and said: "This bracelet is really a rare item! It's worth the money to change your words. Su girl, call for help."

The bracelet was the old lady's dowry, and it has survived until now. Not only has it accompanied her for most of her life, but she also spent a lot of effort hiding it to avoid those days.

Su Yuhe was moved and felt pity. She smiled and called her grandma. Although she had called her grandma "Grandma" before, it was still different.

The old lady nodded, her lips slightly raised and her eyes narrowed slightly. This was her expression of happiness. She usually had the same expression when she ate pastries.

Ye Yunshu smiled and said, "Mother has many good things, but I didn't keep any of them. I can only give her a red envelope."

She stuffed a thick red envelope into Su Yuhe's pocket.

Su Yuhe accepted it directly, and at Jiang Lin's signal, she called her mother.

"Oh!" Ye Yunshu's eyes were filled with tears.

There was nothing to do today, so Ye Yunshu asked Jiang Lin to count the wedding items and remember how many red envelopes he had received.

The two of them sat on the kang in the room, counting the red envelopes.

In the commune, a few cents given by members when they get married is already a lot, but it still needs to be recorded.

Jiang Lin's brothers and people from Su Yuhe's family all gave big red envelopes of more than ten yuan.

What Su Yuhe didn't expect was that there was also two dollars in Qian Guilan's red envelope.

"Didn't your aunt and the others not have their work points in their hands? You must have worked hard to save these two dollars. Find a suitable time and return them."

Jiang Lin was also surprised: "I know, you keep it for now."

…

The commune gave new employees three days off, so Su Yuhe and the others had nothing to do.

The next day, Jiang Lin said he would take Su Yuhe to the provincial capital for a visit, and also issued a letter of introduction for her to stay there for one night.

When I left the village, I happened to meet the members getting off work.

Tiezhu's mother was also there. Because Tiezhu could earn a lot of money by helping Jiang Lin with his work, she realized that Jiang Lin was very smart. Although the landlord's family was impoverished, they were still capable.

No wonder he could marry an educated youth like Su Yuhe.

Tie Zhu's mother was very enthusiastic and shouted, "Where are you going, Su Zhiqing?"

"Let's go for a walk outside." Su Yuhe answered with a smile, and just said hello. She didn't want to talk much, and the bicycle quickly drove away.

Only the members were left behind to talk about Su Yuhe and their marriage:

"That banquet had over a dozen dishes and four or five meats. It was the first time I'd ever eaten such a feast!"

"That's right, the meat is so juicy and rich. These past few days, even when I was eating multi-grain porridge, I could have two big bowls just thinking about that meal!"

"What's the big deal? There were three or four cars, and the betrothal gifts were all paid in one go!"

"This must be something Su Zhiqing's family gave out to save face. Jiang Lin's background is so bad, so this is the only thing he can rely on!"

"No, you're jealous because you didn't get to eat at the banquet, right?"

"Jealous of him? Just wait and see. Once Su Zhiqing sees the Jiang family's situation clearly, he'll definitely run away!"
