Chapter 98 Li Baotian escaped a disaster
Ma San knew that there was no need to hide some things, so he simply revealed his true colors.
He owed Zhou Yong two hundred and twenty yuan, Cao Biao one hundred and fourteen, Liu Dazhuang one hundred and eleven, and Xing Laoqi one hundred and thirteen.
The total foreign debt was six hundred yuan, and Liu Juan's face turned pale when she heard it.
"Why do you have so much famine?"
Ma San looked at the dish with a slightly dull look in his eyes and recounted the whole story slowly.
Liu Juan was silent after hearing this. After she came to her senses, she said, "We are young and work hard. We can pay off the debt in a few years."
Liu Juan couldn't complain about the famine caused by her medical treatment and marriage.
After hearing her words, tears welled up in Ma San's eyes.
Liu Juan forced a smile to comfort Ma San: "After the famine is over, we will save money to build a house..."
A debt of six hundred yuan is a huge amount of debt in Liu Juan's eyes.
Even if she and Ma San didn't eat or drink, it would take three or four years to pay off the debt.
Don't be fooled by what she said. You may not know that she feels that the road ahead is dark.
But she has already married Ma San and has no way out. Under such circumstances, she cannot afford to back down.
Life has to go on anyway, so she just thinks positively.
Ma San nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I, Ma San, will never let you down in this life."
Liu Juan forced a faint smile and said nothing more. After dinner, she asked about the current situation at Ma San's home.
After the wedding, Ma San still had more than ten yuan in his hand, and he gave all the money to Liu Juan.
"I don't want it. I'm just asking so I know how to spend the rest of my life."
Money is indispensable for everything in life, and as a woman, you must know how to make a living.
Ma San stuffed the money into Liu Juan's hand without hesitation: "Take it!"
Liu Juan hesitated for a moment and decided to accept the money.
She said to herself, "I couldn't bring back a penny from my parents' home. You won't blame me, will you?"
Normally, even if the bride's family does not send a dowry, the bride's relatives will give some pocket money before she leaves the house, to be saved for pocket money in the future at her husband's house.
Liu Juan has quite a few aunts and uncles, but the problem is that she never got a penny of the money she received as her parents withheld it all for various reasons.
Ma San shook his head, meaning that he didn't care. After all, Liu Youquan was selling his daughter, so how could he let Liu Juan take the money back to her husband's home?
Liu Juan felt a little sour in her nose, and her depressed mood disappeared. She then asked Ma San about his interpersonal relationships.
You can't live a dull life. You should visit your relatives and friends often. Otherwise, when something happens at home, there will be no one to help you.
Ma San's interpersonal relationships are not complicated. He has cut off contact with the Ma family. The only people who are close to him are Zhou Yong, Cao Biao, Liu Dazhuang and Xing Laoqi.
As for the others, in Ma San's words, it is enough for the relationship to be acceptable on the surface. After all, a friend in need is a friend indeed. He knows who is capable and who is not.
Liu Juan took into account everything Ma San said, and then asked Zhou Yong about the temperaments of the three men's wives.
Ma San described the personalities of the sisters-in-law. Liu Juan kept nodding her head, knowing how she should get along with them.
"We just got married, so we can put these things aside for now."
Liu Juan shook her head and said, "This is something I have to face. I can't hide from it."
Ma San looked at Liu Juan, who was more mature in thinking and more sophisticated in conversation than him, and felt inexplicably ashamed.
Liu Juan then said, "I won't be back for three days. Then I'll prepare a meal and invite Captain Cao and his family to come and have some fun..."
The liveliness is one thing, but the most important thing is to enhance their affection. After all, the couple don't have many people they can rely on in the village.
Especially since Liu Juan had just arrived in Huaixi Village, she needed everyone’s care in many things.
Ma San very much agreed with Liu Juan's proposal, and the couple started chatting about this topic.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Biao arrived at Masanjia.
"Where's your wife?"
Ma San smiled and replied, "I went to fetch water."
Cao Biao sat down on the stool and said, "Why ask her to fetch water? Tell me, who can't help you fetch water?"
This is the truth, but to use Liu Juan's words, don't bother others if you can avoid doing so.
No matter how good the relationship is, you have to live your own life. It’s impossible to always rely on others.
After listening to Ma San's statement, Cao Biao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I didn't realize that your wife actually understood these profound principles."
Although Liu Juan has never been to school, she has been smart since she was young. She just has a bad fate. If she had a good family, her life would never be like this.
Ma San smiled and scratched his head: "Captain, please stop teasing Xiaojuan."
Cao Biao chuckled and stared at Ma San, joking: "Fuck, you've only been married for two days and you already know how to protect your wife?"
Ma San showed a helpless look. Cao Biao was talking to him when Xiao Ba ran in panting.
"Captain, someone is coming from the police station..."
Cao Biao hurriedly got up and walked out while talking to Xiao Ba. Ma San picked up the book and started reading.
Not only did people from the police station come, but people from the commune also came.
Cao Biao received the police officers from the police station, and Zhou Yong received the members of the commune investigation team.
"Dad, what's going on now?"
Accountant Sun and Li Baotian came back with the commune investigation team.
Li Baotian lowered his voice: "It's nothing serious."
Zhou Yong felt relieved when he heard this, and Accountant Sun moved out all the account books of Huaixi Village.
Two people came from the investigation team, and under the introduction of Accountant Sun, they began to check the accounts.
Li Baotian took a look and gave Zhou Yong a look, and the father-in-law and son-in-law left the office quietly.
After coming out, Li Baotian breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhou Yong what had happened.
They went to Secretary Zhang and confessed everything, and were severely criticized.
Secretary Zhang then convened an emergency meeting, communicated with the police station, and obtained Dong Fu's confession.
The commune temporarily set up an investigation team to investigate Dong Fu's corruption and bribery during his tenure.
The reason why Li Baotian and Accountant Sun did not come back last night was that they were left behind by Secretary Zhang to cooperate with the work.
Zhou Yong looked straight ahead and thought to himself: They are confessing voluntarily. If they had waited for the police station to find Secretary Zhang and report the situation, things would not have ended like this.
Li Baotian patted Zhou Yong on the shoulder and said with emotion: "It's all thanks to you that Dad was able to escape this disaster."
It doesn't matter whether it is meritorious or not.
Zhou Yong did all this just to make up for Li Baotian.
"Dad, I'll let Ma San's wife be responsible for cleaning the brigade from now on, and help with cooking when someone comes to visit..."
Li Baotian didn't say anything about this matter. After all, there were many more positions in the brigade now, and Zhou Yong wanted to take care of Ma San and his wife, so it didn't matter if he let Liu Juan get a salary.
"You can take care of this little thing. Dad has to go home to see her so that your mom and Caiyun won't worry about him..."
Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun only knew that Li Baotian went to the commune, but they didn't know why he went to the commune, and Zhou Yong didn't tell them the truth.
If they knew that Li Baotian went to the commune to seek leniency, both mother and daughter would be unable to sleep or eat.
Li Baotian smiled when he learned about the situation and said, "If you hadn't told me earlier, Dad would have worried for nothing."
Zhou Yong hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Dad, this kind of thing is not suitable for publicity. We don't know what the final result will be. If I tell my mom and Xiaoyun, won't they get angry too?"
Li Baotian kept nodding, feeling that Zhou Yong was considering things more and more comprehensively.
He was about to open his mouth to praise his son-in-law when Xing Laoqi hurried into the team and headed straight for them.
