Chapter 195 Exposed

Jia Shu picked up the phone and dialed her mother's workshop.

A little nervous.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sat aside, bored.

"Hello! Director Qin, I'm Song Meifeng's daughter. Yes! My mom... what? My mom is at work? Um... um... is my mom in good health? I'm just worried about my family! I'm a little worried that she hasn't been home for such a long time.

Oh, everything is fine! Thank you then.

Call me mom? No need... Hey... Wait..."

Jia Shu shouted.

But obviously it did not stop the other party's actions.

Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed that someone went to call Song Meifeng to answer the phone.

Jia Shu looked listless, twisting the telephone line absentmindedly.

The director's words surprised her and made her guess come true.

really!

Her mother is at work, how could she be terminally ill? Is her brother talking nonsense, or are her family members lying to her?

Jia Shu's eyes were red. She was so worried about this matter that she almost lost her appetite. It turned out to be a scam.

He sent all the money in his pocket back home, not even leaving a penny for himself.

Because of this incident, she asked people to borrow money. He Aiguo lent her twenty, Jiang Xiaoxiao lent her fifty, and Song Moting and the others lent her ten to twenty yuan, although it was still not enough for one thousand.

But Jia Shu had thought it through. If it really didn't work, she would shamelessly go to the forest farm and ask the director for a loan.

She also knew that she didn't have such a deep relationship with the head of the forest farm and the workers there. If she asked them to borrow money, she would most likely be rejected, and they would probably laugh at her for being thick-skinned.

After all, who would be idle these days and ask strangers for money? No one would dare to lend her money.

But what can we do?

She has nowhere to go.

The only solution I can think of is to do more work and pay it back slowly by the end of the year.

Anyway, I can't leave here for the time being, but the lives of people at home are at stake.

She had even thought of cutting down all her expenses to a minimum, even if it meant eating the least amount of food so that the saved food could be exchanged for money.

But who would have thought that after planning wholeheartedly for my family, I would end up getting such news.

My mother is working well, which means she is in good health. If she is so sick that she can't even get out of bed, how can she go to work?

Too!

With so many younger brothers and sisters in the family, how could parents not go to work? If they don’t go to work, who will earn the money to support the family!

But no matter what the reason is, you can't lie to yourself.

Jia Shu felt miserable. No matter what the reason was, she was lying to herself. Did she know that she would have nightmares every night staying here?

I can't eat well and I can't sleep well.

However, her parents never thought about how worried her, a child living outside, would be when she heard the news.

"Jia Shu, why did you call back? Calling is free, kid! Why are you so worrying? Don't you know what's going on at home? It would be great if you could save the money for the call and send it back home."

Song Meifeng on the other end picked up the phone, feeling a little guilty.

How come she didn't know what her youngest son wrote to say? This excuse was something the whole family had agreed on.

To put it bluntly, it means forcing the eldest brother to borrow money since he has already gone to the countryside.

After working there as an educated youth for decades, you can always earn a thousand yuan.

It has been more than half a year since the eldest brother went to the countryside, but he only sent money home once, and I only remember sending fifteen yuan.

The couple originally thought that after the eldest son went to the countryside, the family would firstly save on food, and secondly, he would be able to earn food for himself and also support the family.

But who would have thought that after the eldest brother went out, he became so carefree that he even ignored his family.

She worked on a farm, how was it possible that she didn't get any food rations throughout the year?

In the farm attached to the steel plant here, people distribute food rations to every household.

Especially since my daughter is on the farm, which is a major grain producer. How could I not give them some food?

At least some of the food rations should be sent home, but this kid is so different. Not only does he not send food, he even has to ask them to send back money. It's been half a year and he only sent back 15 yuan.

What can you do with this 15 yuan?

With such a big thing happening at home, the couple discussed for a long time before coming up with this idea.

Ask for a thousand dollars from the boss.

Without even thinking about it, Jia Shu had no ability to get a thousand yuan.

Going to the countryside is not to make a fortune, and farms are not gold mines.

If they don't ask for the money back, they will have to wait for the eldest daughter to send the money back to them in the future, which will be difficult. They also realized that they have raised this girl in vain.

Besides, the girl has gone to a farm, and the place is far away. They can't just run all the way there to ask their daughter for money. They might not even have enough money for the trip.

That's why I wrote this letter.

Who could have known that this girl would become so smart and even call her own workshop.

This is immediately exposed.

Song Meifeng was so angry that she had to use these words to shut her daughter up. Anyway, she had a loud voice and she was the mother. Could her daughter really point at her nose and ask her questions?

Didn't she see the workshop director standing next to her, looking at her with a smile? People thought they were a loving mother and a filial son, who knew there were so many things going on.

Jia Shu paused. Her mother was just like that. She could always make sense even when she was wrong.

Even though her family had clearly lied to her, she would not question her mother even if she was told something softer.

After all, they are family.

But now her mother is openly accusing her of spending money on phone calls. This is the evildoer complaining first!

Since you know that making phone calls costs money, aren’t you worried about spending money on the train ticket you buy to go back home?

The train ticket is free!

Borrowing money from others everywhere is not money!

In her mother's heart, did she really treat her as her own daughter? When she left, her family didn't give her much money except for the money for the train ticket.

All she said was telling her that she had gone to the farm and would send money and food back home.

Did she not send money? How long had she worked on the farm? How much could she get paid? The food rations they were given were not enough because of the heavy snow and the mountain closure. She was starving.

If Xiaoxiao hadn't found a way to exchange the wood from the farm for food, they would probably be starving now.

His mother didn't even ask how she was doing now. Three provinces here were hit by disasters.

The whole country knows it.

Her mother never cared about her daughter, but always talked about money.

"Mom, since you are fine, I don't need to lend you the thousand dollars that my brother asked for. I hope you and my dad will be healthy in the future and take good care of yourselves. Don't joke with me about your own health. I really thought something happened to you.

It is the spring planting season here, and the work on the farm is the heaviest. Aren't you worried that something might happen to me because I am worried about my family?"

Jia Shu held her breath and felt aggrieved. Even if other people's parents didn't care about their children, they didn't hold them back. What were her parents thinking?
