Zhushan County, Daling Commune, Hebian Village Production Brigade.
The people working in the fields were quite surprised to see Wang Dahai return to the village. It was not Saturday or Sunday, so why did he come back today?
"Well! The weather is nice today. There is some happy event, so I came back to comfort my ancestors." Wang Dahai responded calmly to everyone's enthusiastic concern.
This person wants to ask what good news is?
Oh, it’s not a big deal. My daughter Zhao won the first place in the provincial competition this time.
What?
First place in the provincial competition... Oh my God, this is incredible. A little girl from Old Wang's family won the award and was sent to the provincial capital.
The members of the Hebian Village Production Brigade were in an uproar again.
Wang Dahai went home leisurely with his hands behind his back.
He did not just talk about it, he went out to get a pot of wine, and placed the braised pork head he bought from the county town on the table, and solemnly paid tribute to his ancestors in front of the main hall.
At noon, Wang Dahai felt it was boring to eat alone, so he called Wang Fangbing and his three brothers to come and have a drink with him.
After two months of recuperation, the three brothers who were so thin while repairing the canal now looked much better.
It must be said that repairing the canal is tiring, but the work points are high and you can earn two yuan. Wang Fangbing and Wang Erbing worked for more than a year, and saved about 80 yuan.
Wang Erbing only had more than half a year, but he also saved about 20 yuan.
Anyway, he only needed to raise one and a half daughters, Wang Zhaozhao's half, and it only cost twenty kilograms of food and two dollars a year. Now it seems that raising her is just a gesture.
So, he seems to have recovered the best this year.
"Dad, are you going to the provincial capital again?" Wang Erbing asked Wang Dahai.
"I don't know, I think I should go."
"It would be great if we could go too. I haven't even been to the provincial capital yet."
“…” You’re so beautiful! I’ve never been there either.
Wang Dahai gave Wang Sanbing a look and told him to figure it out for himself.
Wang Sanbing scratched his head foolishly and laughed.
Taking a quick glance at Wang Fangbing and Wang Erbing, he smiled even more innocently, with his gums showing.
Over in the third room, Shi Haiyan was eating while cursing in her heart.
After buying some delicious food, he only called his son over to eat and ignored his daughter-in-law completely. The old man was too distracted.
Zhang Xiu'e was also angry and even threw things around, making loud bangs.
People in the main hall naturally heard it, but no one took it seriously.
Everything was quiet in the eldest house. Chen Meiru was self-aware. Ever since that incident a few years ago, she knew her weight in front of the two elders and was also afraid of Wang Dahai.
After eating and drinking, Wang Dahai sent his sons away, tidied up the house a little, and went to his private plot with a hoe.
He asked Wang Fangbing to help sow some pepper seeds, which would be ready for transplanting in a while. When he came back today, he took the opportunity to tidy up the vegetable patch.
The whistle for work blew...
Huh?
Wang Dahai found something wrong. Why did it sound like they were arguing?
Not long after, Wang Erbing came over and said, "Dad, the captain's eldest daughter came back crying, saying that she was bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law."
"Did you hit her? Was she seriously injured?"
"No? She just kept crying."
"oh."
Wang Dahai nodded and continued digging.
Wang Erbing went up and grabbed the work. Wang Dahai let him do it, but asked casually, "Don't you have any work to do this afternoon?"
"Everyone's gone to Old Chen's house to watch the fun. Later, Chen Changlin will definitely take people to send his daughter back and talk to his son-in-law. We definitely won't be able to work this afternoon."
“…”
…
When Wang Zhaozhao returned home from school in the afternoon, Xie Ailian was washing clothes for little Dudu. The little guy was placed in a bamboo crib and allowed to play by himself.
"Grandma, where is my grandpa?" Wang Zhaozhao found that Wang Dahai was not there.
"He went back to the village early this morning." Xie Ailian paused as she scrubbed the clothes vigorously. "He should have been back by now."
Wang Zhaozhao, who was about to ask why he was going back, changed his tone and said, "They should be on their way."
Xie Ailian waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about him. He won't get lost anyway. Just take a break and go back to your room to do your homework."
Although she had always said before that Wang Zhaozhao should focus on studying, it was only now that she officially understood and accepted that Wang Zhaozhao was a true scholar and that studies were very serious and important.
Wang Zhaozhao drank some water and teased little Dudu for a while before going back to the house. He didn't come out until it was almost dark and Xie Ailian called him to eat.
Not seeing Wang Dahai, she asked Xie Ailian again, "Grandma, hasn't Grandpa come back yet?"
"No, I don't know where the old man is. He didn't come back early and insisted on catching the last bus... Eat, don't worry about him. I left some food for him." Xie Ailian said angrily.
Wang Zhaozhao nodded and thought, if he hadn't returned after dinner, she would call her grandmother and fourth aunt to go to the bus station to pick him up.
Just think of it as a walk after dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Dahai came back.
Xie Ailian started to scold Wang Dahai, but he just said that he was delayed accidentally.
"Grandpa, what happened in the village?" Wang Zhaozhao, who slowed down his meal and waited for Wang Dahai, asked curiously.
"Well, the captain's daughter was bullied at her husband's house, so she ran back to the village crying." Wang Dahai answered while picking up some food.
Then, he took two big mouthfuls of rice.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ailian and Qiao Li's eyes lit up instantly. Is there something fishy going on?!
"Chen Changlin's eldest daughter?" Xie Ailian asked Wang Dahai.
Qiao Li added, "I heard from my third sister-in-law that her mother-in-law started to get upset when she failed to get pregnant for the past six months. Now it's been three years and there's still no news. Her mother-in-law must be very upset."
Wang Zhaozhao opened her mouth wide. "You're throwing a tantrum just because you haven't gotten pregnant in six months? Is this old woman sick?"
Xie Ailian glared at her warningly, "Little girl, why are you listening to these bad things? Stop dawdling, finish your meal quickly and go take a shower."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Can't I just shut up and let me hear it?
Fortunately, Comrade Xie Ailian was very enthusiastic about the matter and urged Wang Dahai to elaborate on what was going on.
Wang Dahai didn't want to say anything, but when he looked up, he found that not only Xie Ailian, but also Qiao Li and Wang Zhaozhao were looking at him eagerly, and even the ten-month-old little Dudu followed suit, as if urging him to speak.
"She said she was asked to wash the whole family's clothes. When her brother and sister-in-law's pants were torn, they blamed her for deliberately washing them. Not only did they scold her, but she also went to her mother-in-law to stir up trouble.
Not only did her mother-in-law scold her, she also wanted to starve her for a day. Her husband felt sorry for her and secretly hid his own food for her to eat. This made her mother-in-law so angry that she couldn't hold her down anymore and she grabbed her and beat her.
It was only because her husband stopped her that she escaped.”
“…”
So miserable!
