Chapter 3: Bully at Home
Chu Hong felt that they could still raise the compensation they wanted by borrowing money from everywhere.
She was afraid that she would ask for too much and the Zhong family would not be able to give it to her, so she decided to just go with the flow.
I'm also afraid that they will become desperate and kill themselves.
Or if she doesn't marry a new man and accepts herself, then she is not willing to recycle the scum.
This amount of money can make them suffer a lot, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Song Chuhong.
Aunt Zhong took a deep breath and slapped her chest hard: "Where can we get so much money? You are trying to kill us."
Originally, it was Chu Hong's sudden appearance that frightened her so much that she felt panicky and short of breath. Now, she was so angry at her exorbitant demands that she had a myocardial infarction.
Chu Hong also cried: "Then let's go to the Women's Federation to seek justice!"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully? I'll send a telegram right now and ask my grandma, dad, uncle and others to come over."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
I don't believe I can't scare them.
Aunt Zhong was in a state of confusion. She really didn't dare to let her go like this, so she could only calm her down: "I don't dare to make the decision on such a big matter. You should rest at home first and wait for them to come back."
If people from her hometown really came, her family would be laughed at.
Chu Hong was also exhausted: "I want to take a shower first and then sleep for a while."
The new building here has five floors. There is a squat toilet on the side of each floor, and the shower room is inside.
Aunt Zhong was boiling water in a steel pot on the coal stove. She quickly brought the pot to the shower room and waited at the door.
It's not that she is considerate, but she is worried that this damn girl will say something nonsense when she meets others.
After she finished taking a shower, he quickly took her back to rest: "That bed belongs to the national soldiers, you can sleep for a while."
The two rooms of the Zhong family were divided into four rooms. One was the kitchen, one was where Aunt Zhong and her family lived, another was where the eldest son and daughter-in-law lived, and the remaining room was where Zhong Guobing and Zhong Guohua lived.
It was a very narrow room with two 1.2-meter beds and two benches with a wooden box on each. It looked very crowded and there was no room for any other furniture.
Chu Hong looked at the wooden and glass windows that had iron bars inside, and then locked the door. Only then did she feel at ease and fell asleep in seconds after lying down.
Not only was the ride tiring, but I also had a fever on the way, which made me even more tired.
If you don't take a good rest, how will you have the energy to deal with them later?
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when Chu Hong arrived. Aunt Zhong didn't dare go out until she heard her close the door and lock the outer gate.
Fortunately, she had asked for help beforehand. When she got there, her neighbor Aunt Gao had already cleaned up the four ducks. Seeing her, she curiously asked, "Is it your mother's relative or Lao Zhong's relative?"
"She's the daughter of my cousin from my mother's side," Aunt Zhong also pretended to be calm and sighed, "My second son lived in her house for a while when he was a child. When I heard that he was going to get married, I sent her to join in the fun."
Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Your eldest and second sons have both made great achievements. You will be able to enjoy a good life in the future."
Then he swiftly handed her the four cleaned ducks: "You take them back first, I'll bring the basin back to you."
Aunt Gao thought that since she had fried peanuts for her today, and also prepared the pig's head and duck, and would return the wooden basin to her later, she should be able to keep her for dinner.
With Xiaohong at home, Aunt Zhong didn't dare to invite her to dinner, but she didn't want people to say she was stingy behind her back, so she found five yuan from the cupboard and a pound of white sugar wrapped in paper and gave it to her: "Thank you for your hard work today, sister-in-law. I'll have to trouble you again tomorrow. Come early to help."
When the eldest daughter-in-law came home, there was only one table prepared, which she cooked herself.
But Director Yao wanted to save face, so he had already informed them that at least eight tables had to be set up.
He had chickens, ducks, pig heads and ten pounds of meat delivered in the morning.
Aunt Gao used to be a cook in a wealthy family. Her life has been better in recent years, and every family would invite her to cook at a wedding banquet.
Aunt Gao politely declined, but at Aunt Zhong's insistence, she happily took the money and left with the sugar.
White sugar now costs 78 cents per pound, and you need a sugar coupon. It is indeed a good stuff.
She never expected Aunt Zhong to be so generous. In the past, when other families asked her to help, giving her three dollars was considered a lot.
Aunt Zhong sent the people away and then hurried to cook dinner.
There are many people earning money in the family now, but most of the rice, flour, meat and eggs must be supplied with tickets. She is used to being frugal and can't bear to eat dry rice and fine noodles every day.
In the evening, I used the large steel pot at the door to cook a big pot of sweet potato and brown rice porridge.
She hadn't finished cooking yet, it was getting dark, and everyone had returned from work.
When the Zhong family father and son heard her whisper that the woman the second son married in the countryside had arrived, they were also startled.
"She really dares to ask for such a high price." Wu Hangying, the eldest daughter-in-law who just came into the family this spring, was immediately unhappy: "Where does our family get so much money? She is blackmailing us. Let my uncle come and take her away."
The tractor factory is a large factory in Shanghai, with at least nearly two thousand employees.
Wu Hangying also worked in the canteen of the tractor factory, earning only 33 yuan a month.
She is less than 1.6 meters tall, has freckles all over her face, and is a little fat.
Although Zhong Guomin is only 1.72 meters tall, he has good-looking facial features, especially his peach blossom eyes and high nose bridge, which makes him very popular among girls.
Unfortunately, he took Aunt Zhong's place and was only an apprentice, earning only 18 yuan a month.
His father was only a first-level worker with a monthly salary of 33 yuan. He had a younger brother who was still in school. At that time, the family only had an old tube-shaped building, which discouraged many female comrades from moving in.
However, he was noticed by Wu Hangying, who was serving food in the cafeteria.
Of course, Zhong Guomin was unwilling at first, but Wu Hangying's uncle joined the GW gang. During the Chinese New Year, he caught Zhong Guomin who went to the black market and said he would send him to a farm.
Aunt Zhong could only persuade her eldest son that even with the lights on, it was impossible to tell whether the woman was beautiful or ugly, so he should just marry her.
In fact, she didn't need to persuade him. The frightened Zhong Guomin didn't dare to object and married her without hesitation.
Although the whole family disliked Wu Hangying for her ugliness, they all praised her because of her uncle from her mother's side.
When Wu Hangying's uncle came to marry her, he made it clear that if the Zhong family dared to bully his niece, he would move into the Zhong family and keep an eye on them.
Therefore, the Zhong family was afraid that her uncle from her mother's side would come to visit. They couldn't afford to offend him and didn't want to deal with them.
But now, Uncle Zhong immediately retorted: "Keep your voice down, eldest brother's wife, you are not allowed to go. If this gets out, our Zhong family can't afford to lose this person."
He is a person who is particularly concerned about his reputation. He always feels that he was born at the wrong time, has never met a mentor, and does not know how to flatter his superiors, which is why he has never been valued.
Now Director Yao has made him the deputy director of Workshop 3, and his salary has been raised by 12 yuan. The workers in the workshop also greet him with a smile. He would never want to go back to the way things were before.
He was afraid that the marriage would fail, so he stared at them with a serious face, "We were originally in the wrong in this matter, so let's just consider it as spending money to avoid disaster."
