In the end, Wu Cailian softened her heart and compromised.
Even if she was unwilling and resentful in her heart, she could still remember the words her parents said to her as they held her hands before they died:
"Cai Lian, Xiao Jie is the only male in our Wu family. He is the future pillar of the Wu family and your future support.
You must do your utmost to take good care of him and see him get married and have children. Only then will we be at peace in our graves."
Although more than ten years have passed, these words still often echo in her ears.
She simply couldn't bear to watch Wu Wenjie kneel down and die without helping him.
…
It was already the next day when Wu Cailian came back, covered in wounds and looking like a walking corpse.
But Wu Wenjie seemed not to see it and just kept asking her how much money she got.
At this moment, Wu Cailian felt extremely heartbroken.
For the first time, she looked at Wu Wenjie carefully from head to toe. After so many years of dependence on each other, she finally saw the true face of her brother today.
But she still handed over the money in her hand.
This was the last time, the last time she compromised in order not to disappoint her parents.
Then he went back to his room without saying a word.
Wu Wenjie took the money with joy, completely unaware of Wu Cailian's abnormality.
But when he finished counting the money, his expression immediately changed and he yelled into the house:
"Why is there only one hundred?"
After a while, a self-deprecating voice was heard from inside the house.
"So how much do you think I can sell it for?"
Wu Wenjie thought so too. His sister was already so old and had been married before and had children. It was already a high price that Butcher Zhu was willing to pay.
Moreover, he estimated that Butcher Zhu didn't have much money left.
Although he is a formal worker in the slaughterhouse, his monthly salary is limited. He is a big and strong man, and he needs to eat a lot for food every day.
Not to mention that he beat his wife to death and spent a lot of money to settle the matter.
Thinking of this, Wu Wenjie began to worry again.
This money plus the 120 yuan he got from his sister last night, the total is only 220 yuan.
It's just enough to pay a deposit.
There is still a day and a half left. Where is he going to get the remaining money?
Forget it, I'd better give the deposit to Wu Dazhi first and let him take action first.
By the way, I'd like to ask if the payment can be delayed for a few days.
…
Tashan Brigade.
After Lin Weihong left the Lin family that day, she turned around and ran to Grandma Lin to complain.
Later, Grandma Lin came to Shen Wenfang again and made a fuss. In the end, it was Lin Weiguo who got angry and sent her away.
The days finally quieted down for two days.
These two days, Shi Yan went to the county textile factory with the leaders of the commune to discuss cooperation and has not returned yet.
Lin Ran actually felt empty inside.
Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to Shi Yan sticking to me all the time.
However, after only two days of peace, news came from the Huangqiao Brigade that Shen Wenfang needed to be called back for something.
This time it’s the Shen family’s business.
Originally, Lin Ran wanted to go with Shen Wenfang, but it happened that Shi Yan finally returned from the county town that day.
However, I heard that he might leave for the neighboring province to get silkworm seeds in two days after everything is ready, and I don’t know how long this trip will take.
So Lin Ran wanted to take advantage of these two days to spend some time with Shi Yan, and finally asked Liu Ping to go with Shen Wenfang.
Anyway, she felt that nothing serious would happen to the Shen family, so there was no need to rush. She would know the situation when they came back.
Shen Wenfang and her friends were gone for the entire afternoon and didn't return home until dinner time.
At the dinner table, Shen Wenfang looked unhappy.
Seeing this, Lin Weiguo asked with concern:
"What's going on? Did something happen over there?"
This question made Shen Wenfang lose his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and started complaining about the Shen family.
I don’t know where Uncle Shen found the connections, but he said he could buy a job at the county textile factory with money.
He had already found out that the other party was a regular employee of the county textile factory and was sincerely looking for a job.
Now all I need is money.
The other party asked for a high price, five hundred yuan.
However, although five hundred yuan is a bit expensive, if you can really buy a formal job in a county textile factory, it will be a sure profit.
After all, we will be city dwellers who eat commercial grain and receive wages and subsidies every month.
I can earn back the 500 yuan in less than two years.
It’s understandable that Uncle Shen would be moved.
But the key now is that he simply can't come up with so much money.
Forget five hundred, he barely even has five dollars on him.
What's more, he lost all his family fortune gambling last time, and he still owes Uncle Shen's family dozens of dollars.
So now the Shen family can't afford a penny.
But Uncle Shen was at home and he was determined to buy this job.
He also kept feeding Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen with sweet talk.
He said that as long as he got his salary after starting working, he would definitely support the old couple.
Moreover, if he becomes a worker, it will bring honor to the family, and the old couple will be proud to go out in the future.
This is indeed very tempting for Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen.
After all, the old couple have been farmers working in the fields all their lives.
Now the youngest son has hope of leaving the countryside and becoming a city dweller.
How can they not be tempted?
But Grandma Shen didn't think so much, she just couldn't stand Uncle Shen's quarrel.
Moreover, when she heard that her son would become a worker and would not only receive a salary but also various receipts, wouldn't she become the most envied old lady in the entire Huangqiao Brigade?
Maybe those old ladies who usually have a grudge against me will come to curry favor with me.
When she thought of this scene, Grandma Shen narrowed her eyes with a smile.
Regardless of whether Grandpa Shen was still struggling, he waved his hand.
purchase!
This job must be bought!
As for five hundred dollars!
Although they don't have one, they still have four daughters.
If the four daughters pool their money together, they should be able to come up with 500 yuan.
Although Grandpa Shen felt that this was a bit too difficult for his four daughters, he still hoped that the Shen family could gain the upper hand.
Anyway, this money is just a temporary loan, and it will be the same if I pay it back when Uncle Shen gets a job and earns money.
Thinking of this, he did not refute and let Grandma Shen and the others deliver the letter to his four daughters.
That's why we called Shen Wenfang back today.
Not only Shen Wenfang, but also Aunt Shen Da, Aunt Shen Er and Aunt Shen Si, none of them were left behind, and they were all called back to raise money for Uncle Shen Er.
