(Novel complete) She suddenly returned to a time before the apocalypse. Chu Tianhua spent her entire fortune collecting resources, ensuring she had everything for eating, wearing, and daily use, fi...
Yu Zhen said with embarrassment, "He's not a relative from my hometown. He said his name is Chu Wen, and he said he's your younger brother..."
"What? Chu Wen?"
Chu Wen returned to the main hall and stood up when he saw Chu Jun, "Brother..."
Chu Jun did not respond. Instead, he looked down at Chu Wen's wife and three children who were sitting at the dining table, frantically eating the biscuits and fruits on the table. Then he raised his head and looked at Chu Wen, who had aged a lot, and asked with a complicated look.
"Chu Wen, when were you released from the labor camp?"
Seeing that Chu Jun didn't respond to him, Chu Wen's face twitched unconsciously. He gritted his teeth and bent towards Chu Tian, saying loudly, "Brother, I was ignorant before, please forgive me..."
As he said this, he poked his wife Li Guangmin beside him with his hand. Li Guangmin reacted and stood up reluctantly, muttering, without even having time to swallow the fruit in her mouth.
"Brother, even though we don't have the same father, Chu Wen has called you brother for more than 20 years, so, hey, can you take us in?"
"After we were released from the labor camp, we had no place to live and no jobs, and you all moved into Chu Tian's former house. I think the house is big enough and there are some empty rooms. Why don't you give us a few?"
"After all, even broken bones are still connected by tendons..."
Chu Wen straightened up and said without waiting for Chu Jun to speak, "Yes, I heard that your family divided 200 acres of land. You are just a few people, so you are definitely not able to do it. My brother and Guangmin can take some of the pressure off you..."
Chu Jun listened to Chu Wen's words without saying anything. If he hadn't seen Chu Tian and Chu Min today, he might not have agreed to Chu Wen's request. But when he thought of what Chu Min and Chu Tian said, he fell silent, and after a while he asked in a light tone.
"Did you know that mother had gone?"
Chu Wen was about to say something, but was stunned when he heard Chu Jun's words. Then he nodded, "I know. We just came back and met Captain Sun. He told me."
Chu Jun stared at him, "Don't you have any thoughts about your mother's passing?"
Chu Wen wondered, "What ideas do you have?"
After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Chu Jun's hand and asked, "Brother, did mother leave me some money?"
"Where is it?"
"I know that mother loves me the most. She will definitely leave me some money before she leaves. Big brother, let me tell you, you can't keep it to yourself. That's what mother left for me..."
Listening to Chu Wen's words, Chu Jun felt his heart suddenly turned cold. He had never thought that Chu Wen could be so cold-hearted. Even now, he only cared about money and didn't even care why his mother, who loved him the most since childhood, passed away...
Taking a deep breath, Chu Jun remembered Chu Tian saying that he was too honest and would be bullied in the future if he didn't change. He looked at Chu Wen coldly.
"You know better than anyone whether Mom has money or not, and you're not registered with me right now, so I have no responsibility to support you. If you want to farm, go find the team leader and see if he's willing to give you some land!"
Chu Wen looked at Chu Jun in shock, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Chu Jun said indifferently, "That means I won't care about you. Go away!"
"Brother, how could you..."
Chu Tian and Chu Min only learned about what happened in Chu Jun's family a few days later. After listening to Chu Jun's description, Chu Tian and Chu Min looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Chu Tian looked at Chu Jun in disbelief. "He, he's so shameless now. How can he even have the nerve to ask you to support him?"
Chu Jun sighed, "I didn't expect him to become like this..."
"He used to be able to pretend, beating around the bush and asking Mom to ask us for things. Now that Mom is gone, he just doesn't pretend anymore..."
After a pause, he continued angrily, "Also, you don't know, they actually had another child while in rural labor reform. That child, well... stayed at my house for a while, and I heard Yu Zhen say that he scared Qingkang to tears several times, and Qingkang was so scared that he had a fever again that night."
"Fortunately, I still have the fever-reducing medicine you gave me, otherwise..."
Chu Min was furious and glared at Chu Jun, "Brother, why don't you just beat him away? Why are you talking so much nonsense with him?"
Seeing Chu Tian nodding in agreement, Chu Jun wiped his face and said, "We are both mothers..."
Chu Tian frowned, "So, you gave them the old house to live in? Isn't it yours?"
Chu Jun quickly waved his hands and explained, "It's not mine anymore. After I moved into your house, the yard was taken away by the team, and Chu Wen's family was personally sent back to the team by the farm. Captain Sun had no choice but to arrange it..."
"So, the captain also gave them some land?"
"Yes, but the good land was already divided a few days ago, and the land he was given was mostly wasteland that was reclaimed last year..."
"Brother, you're wrong. It bloomed last year and has been planted for two seasons. It's no longer considered wasteland..."
Chu Tian thought for a moment and asked again, "By the way, they are living in the old house now. What about food and drink? They can't ask you to provide for them, right?"
Chu Jun hurriedly shook his head, "I give it to you? How is that possible? I won't do that! I'm not a fool!"
Chu Tianxin said that you are the biggest fool in the Chu family, but seeing his serious look, he still looked at him with suspicion.
"Brother, are you sure you won't?"
Chu Jun nodded frantically, "No, no, I know I was stupid before, but I won't be stupid in the future. I have money and I have to support my children, how can I care about him? Impossible!"
Chu Min was very curious, "Does he have food to eat?"
Chu Tian looked at Chu Min and said, "Second brother, your question is unnecessary. The captain has already arranged a place for him to live, and he will definitely find a way to get him food..."
"They won't starve to death anyway!"
Chu Jun nodded and said, "Yes, the captain knew they had money, so he asked a few team members who had a lot of food in stock. They sold some food to Chu Wen. Anyway, they planned to eat it all, enough to last until the autumn harvest. After that, they would buy it from the team members themselves..."
Chu Tian nodded and paused halfway, "He still has money?"
Chu Jun nodded. "Yes, they were paid when they worked on the farm before, but the pay was small. One person could only make 20 or 30 yuan at most after working all year. However, even though it was small, they had nowhere to spend their money, so they saved a few hundred yuan over the years..."
Chu Min continued, "Even if the farm didn't give him anything, I think he still has what his mother gave him."
Chu Tian understood and said, "So that's how it is..."
He paused and waved, "Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Brother, did you come to us to find out about the contracted land? Or have you discussed it with your sister-in-law?"
