"You go to college with money and food, but poor me and my mother are still starving in our hometown. Tiezhu is also your child, you can't just enjoy yourself and ignore your wife and child! If you really treat us as if we don't exist, then I will ask the teachers in your school whether such a person can still be a student in their school."
Before Zhou Nier came, she had asked the educated youth in the team and knew that the better the school, the more subsidies he would give. Wu Zhong went to such a good school, so the subsidy he would give would definitely not be small.
After all, some people come to school without income, but they are very talented. We can’t let them starve to death, so the school will definitely give them some subsidies.
There has just been a heavy flood in their hometown. It's already May, and all the seedlings planted in the spring have been submerged. The autumn harvest will definitely be poor.
Last year, not much food was distributed to each family, and everyone was hoping to get more food this year. However, the village was flooded, and everyone in the village was extremely desperate.
Zhou Nier really couldn't survive in the brigade. If she stayed at home with her child, the remaining food would not be enough for the four people in her family, so she came to Wu Zhong with her child, leaving the remaining food to her parents so that she could survive.
This basically meant that they were going to break off relations. As expected, Wu Zhong looked as if he was going to eat Zhou Nier. "What do you mean by that? You have no place to live here, and you don't have a household registration. I can have someone send you and your mother back to your hometown."
Zhou Ni's face turned a little pale when she heard this. Because of an accident, she and Wu Zhong had to be together. Their life was pretty good after they got married.
Later, when Wu Zhong said that he had been admitted to university, Zhou Ni also thought that if Wu Zhong really graduated from university and found a good job, she and her son would have a good future.
In addition, Wu Zhong always said that they would be given food when they went to college, and he would send the food back for them to eat.
Zhou Nier believed what Wu Zhong said, and not only asked her father to issue a return certificate for Wu Zhong, she also took out fifty yuan from her family savings for Wu Zhong to take with him.
As a result, since Wu Zhong went to college, he has not sent a single grain of rice home. Instead, he has been writing letters to ask for money.
The fifty yuan was the money Zhou Ni's family had saved for half their lifetime. Even if Zhou Ni liked Wu Zhong very much at this time, it was absolutely impossible for her parents to send their savings to Wu Zhong. She just pretended that she had never received the letter and had no idea about it.
Later, the family suffered a disaster and Zhou Ni had no choice but to bring her children to find Wu Zhong.
She suffered a lot along the way. It took three days and three nights to get here by train from her hometown. Zhou Nier didn't eat anything on the way except the two steamed buns she brought from home.
After arriving here, I carried my child all the way from the train station to the school.
Their school is located in a remote area, with the train stations basically one in the south and one in the north. Zhou Ni got off the train yesterday and arrived at school tonight. She and her child slept in a corner last night, and all day today she only drank some water from the faucet on the roadside.
After going through so much hardship to find Wu Zhong, Zhou Ni couldn't possibly go home empty-handed. She must have brought something back. Now Zhou Ni was not afraid of what Wu Zhong said. She sneered, "Go ahead and call him. Before you call me, I'll tell you about how you married a wife when you were an educated youth, and how you abandoned your wife and children to go to college, without caring about the lives of your wife and children in the countryside. You are shameless yourself, and you still want me to give you face? You don't have much ability, but you have beautiful dreams! Let's see who can be faster!"
"Anyway, things have already come to this. Even if I don't get anything this time, I haven't lost anything. At worst, they will send me back home and I won't have to pay for the train ticket. But you will lose a lot. Everyone in the school will know that you abandoned your wife and son to climb up the social ladder in the school!"
"What do you scholars call this kind of person? Oh! Chen Shimei, right? Then everyone will point fingers at you when they see you, and say, 'Look! This person is the Chen Shimei who abandoned his son and wife!'"
"Zhou Ni'er, don't go too far. We are husband and wife. If I am expelled from school and go home, do you think it will be good for you?" Wu Zhong secretly hated her in his heart. If Zhou Ni'er had not insisted on getting a marriage certificate with him when they got married, how could he still be threatened by Zhou Ni'er now.
Thinking back to when they got married, Zhou Ni'er forced him to get a marriage certificate, Wu Zhong hated Zhou Ni'er even more.
Zhou Nier sneered, "What do I have to lose? I can just go back to the brigade and continue farming. I grew up in the countryside and I don't think life in the countryside is hard. On the contrary, you, with your delicate skin and tender flesh, can't even lift a hoe. If I really do this, you should be the one who is most worried!"
Wu Zhong was a spoiled man. He was not born to be a rich boy, but he suffered from all the problems of a rich boy. When he was an educated youth in the brigade, he was not good at working. When others were planting rice, he ran to the side to enjoy the cool air. When others were harvesting wheat, he ran to pick wheat ears with a group of children.
Later, he married Zhou Ni'er. Zhou Ni'er's father was the team leader of the production team, and their life was better. He found Wu Zhong a job as a scorer, so Wu Zhong no longer had to work in the fields every day, exposed to wind, sun and rain.
If Wu Zhong really goes back to the brigade with Zhou Nier this time, Zhou Nier's father will never assign such a good job to him again, and Wu Zhong's life in the brigade will not be as good as before. Moreover, Wu Zhong has offended his father-in-law, which means that his father-in-law may not let him return to the city in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Zhong took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "So what do you want?"
Zhou Nier had expected Wu Zhong to compromise. She smiled and said, "My request is not high. You need to send half of the monthly scholarship home to support me and the child. What we say does not count. We need to make a written document about this. Ask a teacher from your school to sign it as a witness. If you fail to do so in the future, I can ask someone to give you an explanation."
"Impossible!" Wu Zhong's face darkened. The school provided him with a subsidy of 27 yuan a month. He had to use the money to eat out and attend social gatherings. The 27 yuan was not enough for him to spend alone.
If he had to send half of it back to Zhou Nier and the others, he would only be able to eat at school.
