The leaves on the trees had turned yellow and fell to the ground, crunching into powder when stepped on. Jiang Zao walked into the yard, stepping on the poplar leaves and asked Liu Chunhua with concern: "What happened to Mom? Everyone I met on the way back said that my brother had an accident."
Compared to Liu Cui who asked questions despite knowing the answer, Jiang Zao's question was asked frankly.
Liu Chunhua was angry that Jiang Zao sent the random telegram, but she also knew in her heart that Jiang Zao was not to blame for this matter, and her family was still counting on her for support in the future.
If anyone is to blame, they should blame the second brother and his wife. They were the ones who forced the fourth brother into a dead end.
As for the actions of Liu Chunhua and Jiang Dashan, who condoned them, they certainly cannot be considered accomplices. They are the poor parents who were roasted by their children.
There is nothing wrong with that.
He will never admit his mistakes even if he is wrong.
Jiang Ming was furious: "How dare you ask? If it weren't for you sending the wrong telegram, would Lao Si have cut his wrists?"
Jiang Zao was shocked and worried: "Did the fourth child cut his wrists? Is Mom going to go see him?"
"Go ahead, Mom. I'll get you the travel expenses!"
In her previous life, she gave her job to Liu Cui and stayed at home to serve everyone.
Clothes are thin in spring and summer and it is understandable that they need to be washed every day because of sweating. However, after Liu Cui became pregnant, she had to change her winter clothes every few days.
They were reluctant to spend the coal money to boil water, so they made her wash clothes with ice-cold well water. It was difficult to wash clothes with cold water, and the water was heavy and cold, which froze her hands and caused sores. She ran away from home during her period, and when it finally came, she rolled around on the bed in pain.
Even so, I can't rest. I have to go out to wash clothes, work, and cook.
She clearly gave the job to Liu Cui, but after Liu Cui got the job, she turned around and scolded her for being a useless person at home.
Jiang Zao wants to see whether Liu Cui will still pay attention to hygiene this winter now that Comrade Liu Chunhua has gone to the northwest!
Jiang Ming was furious: "Jiang Zao, don't go too far!"
My mother is narrow-minded and loves money, so there is still a chance to persuade her to come back.
Jiang Zao just got his salary today. He took out a large unity banknote and two yuan in change from his inside pocket and said, "I can't go to see my younger brother in person, so please give these two yuan to him to buy him some food. If I weren't getting married soon, I would need money a lot in the future, so I would give him more."
Twelve dollars!
Jiang Zao, who had never spent a penny before, suddenly took out twelve dollars.
Liu Chunhua held back tears as she reached out her rough hands and quickly took the money away. Her hands were so fast that they left a shadow. She folded the money and put it in her pocket before saying, "Look at the third brother, then look at you. The fourth brother is like this and you didn't even take out the money."
"If you dare to stop me, I will go to the street office and tell them how you two cheated Jiang Jun."
No matter how much resentment I had towards Jiang Zao, it disappeared.
There are many speculations and gossips about Jiang Jun. Until he is proven guilty, it will just be speculation.
Liu Chunhua caused trouble at the street office and was indirectly beaten to death. Jiang Ming lost his job, and Liu Cui was beaten with cabbage sticks when she went out.
Jiang Ming's eyes turned red with anger: "Mom, are you really leaving?"
Liu Chunhua felt the money in her pocket through her clothes and said, "Nonsense! Your wife is pregnant and your brother committed suicide!"
"What if he dies outside if I don't go to see him?"
"Only you can feel sorry for your child, but I can't feel sorry for mine?"
Liu Chunhua ruthlessly pushed Jiang Ming away, turned around and said to Jiang Zao with a loving and gratified face: "Zao girl, you should go to work. It's very tiring to work from dawn to dusk. Don't make it more tiring because of others at home."
Subtext: Don’t bother with that bitch Liu Cui.
Jiang Zao had already thrown away the cheap bones: "Well, it's getting late, I'll accompany you to read the letter of introduction."
Liu Chunhua: "Let's go."
Jiang Ming watched them leave, his heart filled with despair.
Liu Cui is pregnant and can't do a lot of heavy work. The weather has been cold recently, and she can't even do the washing clothes or heat the kang.
He had to do the work that Liu Cui couldn't do. He was a man of integrity, so how could he wash clothes and heat the kang?
His hands can't do these things, let alone command the country.
The facts were before his eyes, and Jiang Ming had no choice but to accept.
After Liu Chunhua got the letter of introduction, she took a train to the northwest to see Jiang Jun the next morning with two pancakes in her arms.
After traveling for three or five days, the mountains became increasingly bare, the wind brought sand, the sky was yellow, the ground was yellow, and the middle of the river was bare.
Liu Chunhua, her hair hanging in her face, sat on the donkey cart, clutching her bundle: "Oh my God, my Jun'er is suffering here."
The cart driver took Liu Chunhua to where Jiang Jun worked. Jiang Jun was assigned to move bricks in an earthen kiln. It was late autumn, but he was so hot that he was sweating all over, his face and head were covered with dirt, and his feet were rubbed, so he walked with a limp.
Liu Chunhua saw Jiang Jun from afar and it took her a long time to realize that it was her son.
"My son!"
"Jun!"
Liu Chunhua jumped off the donkey cart, ran to Jiang Jun with her bag and hugged him.
Jiang Jun thought he was dreaming: "Mom..."
When he realized it was not a dream, he cried and hugged Liu Chunhua. The mother and son cried heartbreakingly, which reminded the other educated youth of their own mothers and their eyes also turned red.
After crying for half an hour, Jiang Jun explained the situation to the team leader and took Liu Chunhua to where he lived.
Liu Chunhua took out the money hidden in her pocket. There was her private money and the dozen yuan given by Jiang Zao. She was afraid that she would lose it on the bus, so she sewed it inside her sleeve so that she could see it while sleeping.
"There are biscuits in the bag, as well as the shoes and cotton-padded jacket I made for you. Here are the thirty-plus yuan, some of which I gave you, and some of which your third sister took."
Jiang Jun dug out the food and stuffed it into his mouth greedily: "My third sister is so good to me."
Why didn’t I notice it before?
After swallowing, Jiang Jun asked anxiously, "Mom, how long will you stay here?"
Liu Chunhua unpacked her things and put them on the bed, then sorted out her packages. "The street office sympathized with your situation and gave me a two-month letter of introduction. I'll help you with your laundry and some chores. There's no need to rush back."
