Old Mrs. Huang got off the boat with the help of her nephew Huang Shugen. The train and boat journey took dozens of hours in total, and she was already dizzy.
Huang Shugen pulled a female comrade wearing a white marine uniform on the dock and asked, "Comrade, I...I want to ask, where does Captain Shen live?"
He spoke with a thick accent and his clothes were washed white, which was not a big deal, but the main problem was that he smelled a lot after sitting on the train for so long.
The female comrade sniffed the strange smell but didn't say anything. She pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see the house over there? That's the family area. I don't know exactly where Captain Shen lives. You can ask someone else when you get there."
"Thank you, thank you." Huang Shugen asked clearly and quickly took Old Lady Huang forward.
As we walked, he said, "Auntie, I've asked them. They live there. When we get there, we must find out why Shen Guobin doesn't send money home."
Old Mrs. Huang's face was pale, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke: "Why else? It must be that little whore who instigated it. That little whore, it wasn't long after she got married, but the heartless Shen Guobin stopped sending money home. My daughter gave birth to three children for the Shen family, two sons and one daughter, how much suffering they went through, and now she's gone, and the Shen family wants to just let it go?"
There were times in the past when I sent mail once every six months instead of every month.
But after the Chinese New Year, the spring money would be sent back. But since Shen Guobin married Lin Hui last year, they have been waiting for the money until now and still haven't received it!
Old Mrs. Huang asked Huang Shugen to go to the post office to inquire and found out that Shen Guobin had sent money to the Shen family a few months ago. Before asking, she still held out hope, but after asking, everything became clear. It seemed that Shen Guobin really did not send them money.
So after the busy farming season in the commune, Old Lady Huang came with her nephew to kill.
Behind them, another female comrade asked, "Who are they?"
"I don't know. If you ask me where Captain Shen lives, he must be a relative of Captain Shen."
"Which Captain Shen?"
"Not sure, maybe the one from the Thirteenth Regiment?"
"Is this Captain Shen's relative or a relative of his family? ... Which family member is he a relative of?"
******************************
When you get to the family area, you can just ask anyone and they will tell you where Shen Guobin's home is.
Shen Guobin's home is not in a very good location, it is close to the sea and usually quite humid to live in. But for Mrs. Huang and her friends, it is easier to find.
When he arrived at his home, Huang Shugen pushed the door but found it wouldn't open, so he called out, "Shen Guobin, Shen Guobin, come in quickly!"
Old Lady Huang said, "Shen Guobin is probably not here at this time. You called Lin Hui, that little whore Lin Hui, she must be here."
As she spoke, Old Lady Huang called out to herself a few times: "Lin Hui, Lin Hui, please open the door quickly. Don't think that you can just leave the door open. I'm here to see my grandchildren. Please open the door quickly."
Upon closer inspection, Huang Shugen was holding a bundle in his hand, which contained two sets of clothes, one for Huang Shugen and one for Old Lady Huang, and the rest were food for the children.
It's not a valuable thing, but it's also prepared by Old Lady Huang. Some of them are special products of Xiangcheng, which can't be eaten anywhere else. There are also May bubble, fir mushroom, August fried, and tea cakes picked from the mountains, which were all the favorite things for children to find in the mountains in the past.
After all, he is her best friend's child. She hasn't seen him for a year and she misses him in her heart.
But there are only three children in the family, and Lin Hui is not here.
The weather has been too hot recently, and even Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi, who usually always play outside, have given up the idea of going out to have fun. Now they are reading picture books at home when they hear the noise outside.
Shen Jiayi was holding the new hair bow that Lin Hui bought for her last time. She wanted to braid her hair into a pretty braid, but she couldn't do it well. Instead, she made her yellow hair a mess, making her look like a little madman.
She stood up and said, "Brother, it's grandma. Grandma is here. I'll go open the door!"
Shen Jiayi jumped up excitedly, but was grabbed by the arm by Shen Jiahao. Shen Jiahao said sternly: "You are not allowed to go, and no one is allowed to open the door. If anyone goes, I will beat him!"
In the past, when Shen Jiahao fought with other children, Huang Shufen would scold him, and sometimes even beat him if he was really disobedient.
But since Lin Hui came, as long as Shen Jiahao didn't lose a fight, she would not scold him but reward him. Shen Jiahao felt more and more that fists were the hard truth. Even his father often told him to practice more kung fu. Now he is the king of the children on the island.
Shen Jiayi stared at her brother blankly, not knowing why he didn't let her open the door.
It's their grandmother who's here...
Shen Jiahao rolled his eyes and said, "How stupid! Don't you know why grandma is here? Have you forgotten how you bought your new hair tie and my comic book? Grandma must be here to ask us for money."
"What should we do now?" Shen Jiayi's face turned pale and she quickly put her new hair tie into her pocket to hide it.
Shen Jiahao stared at her and Shen Jiaping and said, "Let's just not open the door and pretend we can't hear them. The sun is so bright outside, let's see how long they can keep yelling."
Shen Jiayi nodded, picked up a picture book and started reading, ignoring the noise outside.
Little Shen Jiaping sometimes looked at Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi, and sometimes looked out the window. The sun outside was really strong. It was hot inside, so it must be even hotter outside.
While Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi were reading picture books, Shen Jiaping stood up from his stool and walked out.
He hadn't walked a few steps when Shen Jiahao called him back: "Shen Jiaping, where are you going? If you dare to open the door, I will beat you up and make your nose bleed today."
Shen Jiaping paused and looked back at Shen Jiahao blankly: "Brother, I want to pee."
Shen Jiahao said: "Just pee in the yard."
Shen Jiaping shook his head: "The stepmother will scold me."
Shen Jiahao assured: "It's okay, I won't scold you this time."
Shen Jiaping said "oh" and continued to walk outside. He heard Shen Jiayi say impatiently: "It's really a lazy donkey with a lot of shit and urine. It's so annoying. It's so disgusting."
Shen Jiayi disliked her younger brother more and more.
Shen Jiaping is just over two years old this year, with a very childish face. He showed no expression when he heard this. He walked into the yard, took off his pants and urinated.
Then he came back, picked up little Maza, and tried to go to Shen Jiayi's side to read the comic book with her: "Sister, which one are you reading? I want to read it too--"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Jiayi reached out and pushed Shen Jiaping away, saying with a look of disgust: "Stay away from me, I don't want to watch it with you!"
With a "bang", Shen Jiaping was pushed to the ground, but fortunately he didn't fall hard.
However, the ponytail in his hand was thrown out, hit the wall, and then fell to the ground with a heavy sound.
There was such a loud noise in the house that Huang Shugen and Old Lady Huang outside heard it.
The two looked at each other and confirmed that there must be someone at home!
Huang Shugen said, "Auntie, there is someone at home. It must be Lin Hui who is hiding and doesn't dare to open the door."
Old Mrs. Huang was seasick and had been exposed to the sun for so long that she felt uncomfortable and even more angry. She slammed the door hard and cursed, "Lin Hui, come out quickly. If you don't come out, I—"
Before she could finish her words, Lin Hui came over from the front.
Lin Hui went to the food factory to buy vegetables. The children were growing up and were clamoring for meat, so she cut a piece of meat and planned to cook it for them.
As a result, when she just got near her home, she saw two people standing at her door and knocking, looking very aggressive.
Lin Hui called out to the two people, "Who are you? Why are you knocking on our door like that? Will you pay for it if it breaks? It's really you, you——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw clearly who those two people were.
Isn't this Huang Shufen's mother, Old Lady Huang? Lin Hui didn't know the person next to her, but she vaguely remembered that this person also came to their house to fight on the day of her wedding. Why did they come here? Was it for money?
Lin Hui felt guilty for a moment and subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late. Old Lady Huang and the others had already seen her, and it was impossible for her to think more.
When Old Lady Huang saw Lin Hui, she asked her unhappily, "Lin Hui, it's a good thing you're here. I want to ask you, is it you who didn't allow Shen Guobin to send money to our family?"
Lin Hui simply played dumb and said, "Don't throw dirty water on me. I never said anyone stopped Guobin from sending you money. And who didn't send you money? I clearly sent it to you, but you didn't receive it. What does it have to do with us?"
Old Mrs. Huang: "You are lying. You didn't send it at all. If you were going to send it, you would have sent it all together. Why did the Shen family receive it but we didn't? Did you hide the money and spend it yourself? I will beat you to death, you little whore!"
Lin Hui took a step back and said, "Your daughter has been dead for two years. Why do you still want money from my family? Even if you don't send it, what's the problem?"
Old Mrs. Huang: "My daughter Huang Shufen gave birth to three children for the Shen family. I am their biological grandmother. Why shouldn't I send them to the Shen family?"
Lin Hui wanted to laugh after hearing this. A year ago, maybe Grandma Huang was still the biological grandmother of those children, but after her unremitting efforts in the past year, it is hard to say whether these children still regard Grandma Huang as their biological grandmother.
"It's a pity that the children now treat me as their biological mother. You said you are the children's biological grandmother, but you just kept knocking on the door for so long, why didn't they open the door for you, their biological grandmother, and invite you in to sit for a while and drink some water?" Lin Hui sneered.
Looking at Old Mrs. Huang's pale face, she felt relieved.
It was this old hag who had caused a big scene on the day of her wedding to Shen Guobin, making her a laughing stock in the commune and making her lose face. Now that Lin Hui had found her chance, she had to piss off Old Lady Huang.
Thinking about this, he called out, "Jiahao, Jiayi, mom is back. She has cut some pork for you to make stir-fry meat tonight. Open the door quickly."
Not long after, there was movement in the yard, and then the gate was unbolted from the inside and opened.
Shen Jiahao walked in front, Shen Jiayi was second, and behind him was Shen Jiaping who walked slowly.
When Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi saw Lin Hui, they called out "Mom" eagerly, but when they turned around and saw Old Lady Huang and Huang Shugen, they became wary.
Old Mrs. Huang felt very sad. This was the child that her daughter had risked her life to give birth to. But after only one year, he had become like this? Did he not recognize her as his grandmother?
But the facts were right before her eyes, and she had no choice but to believe it.
Look at Shen Jiahao, who used to say in front of her that he didn't want a stepmother, now standing in front of Lin Hui, showing his fist to her, and staring at her like a wolf cub. And Shen Jiayi, who used to like to shake her arms and let her tell stories, now pulls Lin Hui's clothes and is very close to her.
Not to mention Shen Jiaping, who was just over one year old when he was taken away from Xiangcheng. What could he remember?
Although Shen Jiaping was not standing in front of Lin Hui, Old Lady Huang felt that he was probably the same as his brothers and sisters, and had been raised to be ungrateful!
Even Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi, who are old enough to remember things, don't consider her their grandmother. How could she dare to expect Shen Jiaping, who knows nothing, to be nice to her?
Old Mrs. Huang was already feeling uncomfortable, and after being in the sun for so long, her temples were throbbing with pain. When she thought of her tragically dead daughter, she was so distressed that tears were about to flow. Looking at Lin Hui, who was getting carried away behind her child, she pointed at Lin Hui with shaking hands.
"Lin Hui, you have such a vicious mind!"
Shen Jiahao raised his fist towards Old Lady Huang: "Don't scold my mother!"
Old Mrs. Huang burst into tears. Her poor daughter died here while giving birth to a child for Shen Guobin. As a result, all her children sided with Lin Hui.
Old Lady Huang pulled Shen Jiahao over and slapped him on the butt a few times, crying as she hit him: "She is your mother? Your mother's name is Huang Shufen, and she is my Zhang Juhua's daughter. You are such an ungrateful bastard, your biological mother gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, is that not as good as someone else raising you for one year?"
Lin Hui rushed over and pushed Old Lady Huang: "You damned old woman, why did you hit my son? Can you take the responsibility if he gets hurt? Let him go!"
Old Lady Huang slapped Lin Hui in the face with her backhand: "I am here to teach my daughter a lesson about her unfilial son. What does it have to do with you, a little whore?"
Lin Hui was hit in the face again. This time she couldn't bear it and tried to fight back against Old Lady Huang.
Huang Shugen came over to help, and a fight broke out. Although Lin Hui had the help of Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi, they were just little kids after all. Lin Hui was just like Lin Tao said, a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. If they really fought, she couldn't even beat Old Lady Huang, let alone Huang Shugen.
Lin Hui soon lost the upper hand, and was grabbed by the hair by Old Lady Huang, leaving several bloody marks on her face.
Shen Jiayi rushed to beat Mrs. Huang and kicked her, while Shen Jiahao went to deal with Huang Shugen and bit his arm.
A fight broke out over here, and there were quite a few people watching the excitement, pointing and talking at them.
The female comrade who had shown Huang Shugen the way passed by and saw this. She was shocked to see this scene. Aren’t these two people relatives of Captain Shen? Why did they start fighting?
*******************************
The only one who did not participate in the war was Shen Jiaping. He huddled aside and watched the few people fighting together, then looked at the noisy group.
After thinking about it, he ran to the other side.
He was still too young, and even if he wanted to run faster, he couldn't. He was out of breath after running for a while. He was looking for Shen Guobin, and when he arrived at the 13th Regiment, he saw Wang Yuanliang before he entered.
Although Wang Yuanliang had a mediocre relationship with Shen Guobin, he had met Shen Jiaping before. When he saw him, he asked, "Isn't this the youngest son of Captain Shen? Are you Shen Jiaping?"
Maybe because he has become a father, Wang Yuanliang likes children more than before. When he talks to Shen Jiaping, his tone is quite gentle.
Shen Jiaping glanced at him and said, "I'm looking for my father."
Wang Yuanliang said, "Your father has just been called over by the division commander. He is not in our 13th Regiment at the moment, but in the division commander's office. How about you call me Uncle Wang and I'll take you over?"
Shen Jiaping said, "Uncle Wang, but I know where it is, so you don't need to take me there."
After saying this, Shen Jiaping turned and walked in another direction.
Wang Yuanliang looked at Shen Jiaping's small figure. This little guy, only two or three years old, was like a little adult. He could even find the teacher's office anywhere.
Although Shen Guobin is not very capable, his son is quite interesting.
Shen Jiaping walked to the outside of the mayor's office. The door was closed and the commander's guards were standing outside.
Shen Jiaping walked over and said to the security guard, "Uncle security guard, is my dad in there? I want to find my dad. Something happened at home. My mom didn't send money to my grandma, and my grandma had a fight with her. Can you go in and tell my dad to go back quickly?"
The guard looked at the kid in front of him and saw that he was anxious. He said, "Wait a minute. I'll be right there."
He turned around and knocked on the door: "Report!"
In the office, Commander Qi was talking to Shen Guobin about the Artillery School, but he didn't directly say that he would let him go. The implication was that there was still a spot in the Artillery School, but Shen Guobin had to perform well recently. If he performed well, he might be able to go this time.
Hearing the guard's report, Commander Qi responded, "Come in!"
The guard pushed open the door and walked in: "Reporting to the division commander, Captain Wang's son came and said...he said that Captain Shen's ex-mother-in-law and current family members had a fight."
Commander Qi glanced at Shen Guobin, and Shen Guobin's face turned very ugly.
Master Qi said, "Xiao Shen, you must first stabilize the country before you can resist foreign aggression. You should go back and settle the issues at home first."
"Yes, Commander, I promise to resolve this matter right away!" Shen Guobin was already cursing in his heart.
He didn't have much education, but the meaning of what Commander Qi said was very clear. How could he not hear it? It meant that if he didn't solve this problem, he would most likely not be able to go to the artillery school!
Although he has always been a man of few words, he has been thinking about going to the Artillery School since the political commissar said so last time. If he can't go this time, he doesn't know what will happen!
It’s really fucked up, there’s not a single day of peace!
******************************
When Shen Guobin came out with a sullen face, Shen Jiaping was gone.
In fact, he had already gone back when he told the guards the news.
When Shen Guobin arrived at the door of the house, Lin Hui's face was already bruised and her hair was a mess. Even the newly bought clothes she was wearing were torn in several holes, and the underwear underneath was faintly visible.
When Lin Hui saw Shen Guobin, she thought someone was helping her and started crying, "Guobin, wuwuwu, you have to help me, look how they beat me..."
Shen Guobin felt ashamed, and his already pale face turned several shades darker. He glared at Lin Hui fiercely, and said to Old Lady Huang with anger: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were here?"
"Don't call me mom. My daughter is dead. Do you still regard me as your mom? If you really regard me as your mom, can you withhold the money against your conscience?" Mrs. Huang was dizzy at first, but after the fight she became more energetic and no longer dizzy.
Shen Guobin suppressed his anger and said, "Mom, let's talk about this inside. Don't argue outside and make a fool of yourself."
After saying this, he winked at Huang Shugen and said, "Shugen, help my aunt in."
The family entered the house, Shen Guobin locked the gate, and asked Mrs. Huang: "Mom, I asked Lin Hui to send the money after the beginning of spring this year. Are you sure you didn't receive it?"
Old Mrs. Huang: "I didn't receive a cent anyway. And I went to ask around. You did send money in the spring, but you only sent it to your family. You didn't send it to me at all."
Shen Guobin looked at Lin Hui and asked, "Lin Hui, did you send the money?"
Lin Hui insisted on sending it: "Guo Bin, I really sent it. If you don't believe me, ask Jia Hao and Jia Yi."
Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi nodded repeatedly: "Mom sent it, we all saw it."
Shen Guobin looked at Shen Jiaping who was playing with a wooden gun and asked, "Jiaping, did your mother send money?"
Shen Jiaping shook his head in confusion: "Dad, I didn't go that day. Mom let me play at home. Mom bought comic books and chocolates for my brother, and White Rabbit candies for my sister. Jiaping is very well behaved. Jiaping doesn't want anything. Mom is very good."
As he spoke, he continued to play with the wooden gun in his hand, then lowered his head and ignored them.
Although this was said to praise Lin Hui, it just so happened to coincide with the matter of sending money, so people couldn't help but associate the two together.
Shen Guobin's face was dark: "Where is the receipt for sending the money?"
Lin Hui sweatdropped: "...Lost it."
Shen Guobin glanced at Lin Hui and slapped her on the head with his backhand.
His strength was not comparable to that of Lin Tao and Old Lady Huang. With just one slap, he knocked Lin Hui to the ground. She hit the corner of the table with a thud and blood immediately flowed from her head.
Lin Hui only felt a buzzing in her ears. The wounds on her face and head were numb from the pain and she had no feeling at all.
Her eyes were a little blurry, and some scenes from her past life suddenly flashed through her mind.
She recalled that in her previous life, after she married Zhao Yuejin, she was beaten by him until she fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. Zhao Yuejin kicked her in the stomach and cursed her, "I will make you unable to have children. You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs. I will beat you to death!"
Thinking back to her previous life, Lin Tao and Shen Guobin went back to her parents' home together and brought many things. Her grandmother, Old Lady Lin, smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She said, "Guobin, you have become a brigade commander? That's amazing. Lin Tao, you are so lucky to marry Guobin."
However, Shen Guobin said that he was the lucky one and that he was lucky to marry A Tao. If she had not repeatedly persuaded me to go to the Artillery School, I would probably not have been promoted.
She ran back to her parents' home with injuries all over her body...
In a trance, Lin Hui seemed to hear the voices of children.
Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi rushed to her, crying and begging for mercy from Shen Guobin: "Dad, you can't hit mom. Mom is very good to us. She left the money just to buy things for us. You are not allowed to hit her..."
Old Mrs. Huang and Huang Shugen were also frightened by Shen Guobin's sudden action. They didn't expect that Shen Guobin would beat someone in front of them, and so cruelly.
After this slap, Lin Hui's mouth was bleeding!
Old Mrs. Huang's face twitched. Although she was not the one being beaten, she seemed to be able to feel the pain. She thought of her deceased daughter Huang Shufen and wondered if she had been beaten by Shen Guobin.
Old Mrs. Huang said, "Forget it, forget it. You are a man and a soldier. What if you hit someone so hard and hurt him? Just pay him on time in the future."
As if remembering something, he asked again: "Can the previous money be reimbursed? Your elder brother is not in good health and needs to take medicine, and the family..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Guobin coldly: "What does it have to do with me if he is not in good health? Why should I support him? Since Huang Shufen and I got married, we have been sending money back every year. Do you think we are living a good life? Huang Shufen is dead, and the money should stop coming."
Old Mrs. Huang was shocked. She didn't know why Shen Guobin suddenly said this. Her son Huang Shufa's leg was lame because of Shen Guobin!
Old Lady Huang: "How can you say such heartless things? If Shufa hadn't wanted to catch a rabbit for you to drink, would he have fallen down the mountain and gotten sick?"
At that time, Shen Guobin and Huang Shufen became lovers after being introduced by someone. When Shen Guobin first visited the Huang family, they had no money to buy meat. In order to prepare some good dishes to entertain his brother-in-law, Huang Shufen's brother Huang Shufen went to the back mountain to hunt rabbits. As a result, he accidentally fell from the mountain while catching rabbits and broke his leg.
The daughter-in-law did say one, but life at home was always difficult. Huang Shufa's legs still hurt when it rained, and he had to take medicine every month, which cost a lot of money.
In the past, we relied on Huang Shufen to send money for support. At the beginning, it was five yuan a month. Later, when Shen Guobin was promoted and the allowance increased, it gradually became fifteen yuan a month.
Later, Huang Shufen died of severe hemorrhage during childbirth, but Shen Guobin never forgot their friendship and always sent money to their family. At that time, Mrs. Huang even said that she had chosen a good son-in-law who was affectionate and loyal.
The reason why she didn't want Shen Guobin to remarry was that she was afraid that after remarrying, the wife would no longer be willing to send money to their family, and also, the child was still young and she was afraid that the child would be abused.
But now Shen Guobin said that Huang Shufa's behavior had nothing to do with him? Does that mean he will not care about it anymore?!
Shen Guobin said coldly: "Did I let him go up the mountain? Did I let him go to hunt rabbits? I have done my best to write this before the New Year. Do you Huang family members still want to suck my blood for the rest of your life?"
Old Mrs. Huang beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying, "What about my Shufen? My poor Shufen died because she was giving birth to a child for you... She died right here... Shen Guobin, you can't be like this..."
When Shen Guobin saw Old Mrs. Huang mention Huang Shufen, the muscles on his face twitched a few times.
It was not because he loved Huang Shufen so much that he felt sad when he thought of her, but because what happened to Huang Shufen was actually inseparable from him.
The day before Huang Shufen died, she told him that she was feeling unwell and that the water in the water tank at home had run out, so she asked him if she could go fetch water the next day. But he scolded her and said that she wanted to be lazy. In the whole Shengshan Island, who didn't have a woman fetch water? How could he, a battalion commander, fetch water?
As a result, the next day, Huang Shufen died of heavy bleeding after returning from fetching water.
She died at noon. The two children in the family were out playing. They were the only family living in the area. Huang Shufen didn't know how long she had been calling for, but no one came. She tried her best to give birth to the baby, but she died.
Shen Guobin never said these words to anyone, and no one thought that Huang Shufen's death had anything to do with him.
The reason why Shen Guobin continued to send money to the Huang family was because he felt sorry for Huang Shufen. If he hadn't said that at the time and hadn't forced her to fetch water, Huang Shufen might not have died...
Looking at Old Lady Huang, Shen Guobin said in relief: "I will send five yuan home every month from now on, no more."
Old Mrs. Huang opened her mouth to say something, but Shen Guobin shouted angrily, "Do you know what you did? Fighting here? Do you think this is Shen's Manor? This is a military stronghold. I am the battalion commander. Before you started fighting, did you ever think about whether it would affect me? I was going to study at the artillery school, and I might be promoted after I finish my studies. It's you who messed it up! If you want five yuan, take it. If you don't want it, don't give me a dime! Go ahead and make a scene. In the end, I won't be a soldier anymore, and you will be happy if I go home to farm?"
This speech left Mrs. Huang speechless and she dared not say anything more.
She didn't want to make such a fuss, but this little whore Lin Hui was too irritating.
"Okay, five dollars is fine." Mrs. Huang had no choice but to agree.
Old Lady Huang and Huang Shugen slept together at home that night and had to leave early the next morning. Lin Hui was beaten and did not dare to offend Shen Guobin. She hated Old Lady Huang in her heart and did not make breakfast for them.
Fortunately, Old Lady Huang and Huang Shugen had some food in their bags, and they had intended to give it to the children, but it was obvious that the children had been raised in the wrong way, so they simply decided not to give it to them.
When leaving, Shen Jiaping noticed that there was no water in Mrs. Huang's kettle, so he filled her kettle with boiled water and secretly gave it to Mrs. Huang.
Old Mrs. Huang's eyes became moist as she looked at the one-year-old child she had raised.
On the way back, Old Lady Huang said to Huang Shugen, "Those two children were raised wrongly, and Jiaping is the only good child left. I know Jiaping still remembers me as his grandmother, but he is smart, and he doesn't dare to get too close to me. He must be afraid that his stepmother will bear a grudge against him..."
As she thought about it, Old Mrs. Huang burst into tears again.
******************************
Good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide. The news of the fight between Shen Guobin's ex-mother-in-law and Lin Hui soon spread throughout Shengshan Island.
When Chen Shuifen talked about this incident with Lin Tao and others, she slapped her thigh and said that she was at work at the time and missed this wonderful show, which was a pity.
Then, Chen Shuifen, Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing expressed their opinions on whether Shen Guobin should continue to send money to the Huang family.
However, they don't know the details of the incident, so their views are superficial and they can't tell who is at fault.
Lin Tao felt helpless and amused when she heard this. She shook her head and didn't say anything.
Lin Hui's affairs had nothing to do with her. She was neither happy nor unhappy when Lin Hui was beaten. To her, it was just a very unimportant matter.
She was thinking about something else, because in ten days, Aunt Fang and Lin Manman would be going to the island.
