Chapter 128 Build a House and Move Out
The Zhao family's youngest daughter-in-law was unexpectedly chosen to teach at the village primary school. This news spread throughout the entire commune in just one day.
Although it is called a village primary school, the children studying there are from more than one village. Previously, Liu Yuejin, an educated youth, had an affair with the captain's daughter in a place like a school. When this scandal came out, parents came to ask for an explanation. Many parents directly blamed Liu Yuejin for their children's poor academic performance. Some even asked Liu Yuejin and the captain's daughter to pay back all their children's tuition fees for the past two years.
There was such a scandal in the captain's family that after picking up his daughter from school, he kept her at home and did not allow her to go anywhere. But Liu Yuejin also went to the captain's house.
Because the team leader and everyone in the village were keeping an eye on him, if he didn't say that he had married Zhao Meng, someone would definitely report him for "hooliganism", and every report would be successful.
In this era, hooliganism was a serious crime, and Liu Yuejin didn't dare to take the risk at all. So although he felt regretful, he had to bite the bullet and endure the watching eyes of everyone, as well as the look of the captain's family, and reluctantly discussed the wedding date with Liu Meng to get married.
The incident became such a big deal, and although it was gradually calmed down because of his tact, he could no longer even think about getting a job as a school teacher.
There were other educated youth in the village and the brigade, but the villagers were a little disgusted with this, as if a bad apple had spoiled the whole barrel, so they were unwilling to let those educated youth who were unable to carry anything be teachers in school. They were afraid that they did not teach them the knowledge well, but instead taught them a lot of bad habits such as love, laziness and playing tricks.
So after excluding the educated youth group, after careful selection, it turned out that only Zhao Guozhi and his wife were left among the educated people in the entire team who could be selected to teach the children.
Choosing one of the two is not difficult at all.
Zhao Guozhi has a very bad reputation in the village. Everyone knows that he has been spoiled. Even after getting married, he still seems to be out of touch with reality. He runs to the town and county every day. He neither helps his family to reduce the burden, but also acts cunningly and always finds excuses to be lazy. There are few good points in him.
Compared with her husband who has all kinds of problems, Xie Jiaxiu, who also graduated from high school, stands out.
In comparison, even her poor health is not a big deal. Being a teacher doesn't require hard labor, and parents recognize her knowledge and character. She herself has a family and even two children, so it is impossible for her to mess around in school. Isn't she the chosen village primary school teacher?
Once the conclusion came out, even the captain had to admit that this candidate was reliable.
The village chief even smoked his own rolled leaf tobacco, and said in annoyance in the smoke: "Oh, if I had known that Liu Yuejin, the educated youth, was so unreliable, I should have chosen a Chinese Zhi daughter-in-law earlier. Isn't it a waste of the two years of study for the children? I'm afraid they will learn bad habits instead of good ones."
"Who says it's not..."
Now is the time when students go to school. Now that you have been selected, you can pack up, familiarize yourself with your textbooks, and go to school to start your job.
Xie Jiaxiu got up very early that day. She stood in front of the big box containing clothes for her wedding and took out one by one the new clothes she had bought in the past that she had not worn more than twice. Then she used the bottom of a teapot filled with boiling water to slowly iron out the wrinkles on the clothes that had been folded for too long.
While she was busy getting herself ready, Zhao Guozhi took the two cubs to the kitchen to make breakfast.
As a result, before I even set foot into the kitchen, I saw my mother and sister-in-law were already busy in the kitchen.
The eldest sister-in-law, who had never smiled at him since the separation, smiled especially attentively at this time. When she saw him and the two children, she said, "You are all up. It will take another stick of time for the meal to be ready. There is hot water in the pot next to you. Hurry up and scoop some hot water and add some cold water to wash the two children's faces and hands. Get ready for breakfast."
After saying that, she stretched her neck to look outside again, then lowered her voice and asked, "Youngest sister-in-law hasn't gotten up yet? Is she too tired these past two days? Tell her to teach well in school, and that I'll take care of her at home, so she can just rest assured..."
Listening to his sister-in-law's words, which seemed to have suddenly increased her emotional intelligence, Zhao Guozhi did not feel comfortable or warm. Instead, he smiled perfunctorily with discomfort all over his body. He did not even dare to agree immediately. Instead, he took advantage of his sister-in-law's busyness at the stove to wink at his mother.
He Guizhi: "..."
Looking at her youngest son's weird and ugly expression, she curled her lips in disgust and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
This brat is just pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. With his mind full of tricks like a sieve, how could he not know why his sister-in-law is so attentive today?
Isn't it because of her son who used to study in Liu Yuejin's class?
Now that Xie Jiaxiu has become a teacher, and happens to be Zhao Huayang's teacher, shouldn't Liu Cuifang be more attentive to her sister-in-law for the sake of her son?
Originally, Liu Cuifang was not a very competitive person, otherwise she and her eldest brother would not be seen by outsiders as a family of honest and hardworking people. But to say that she was really heartless would be a joke.
Such a person is very easy to get along with and has a warm heart, as long as there is something he wants and something beneficial for him.
But once she has no demands on you and can't get any benefits from you, then it will be like this period, with both of you being lukewarm and not interfering with each other.
Zhao Guozhi knew this very well. His sister-in-law was the kind of person who could see the benefits but not the losses, so her momentary enthusiasm was nothing.
If one day, Zhao Huayang's grades do not improve with his wife, or he learns some minor problems in school, or he has a fever or cold or other accidents at school, then even if the sister-in-law does not say it on the surface, she will definitely be the first to blame her wife for not taking good care of the child at school.
This is human nature, but it also made Zhao Guozhi feel on behalf of his wife that his sister-in-law's face was a bit hypocritical and disgusting.
So he finished this warm breakfast calmly, and turned around to discuss with his wife about building a kitchen and a hut next door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he brought up the topic, Xie Jiaxiu, who had just returned home from her first day of work, said to him directly: "Why don't we ask the village chief to approve a piece of land, build a new foundation, and move out?"
Zhao Guozhi was stunned by Xie Jiaxiu's suggestion. After a while, he asked seriously, "What happened? Did something happen when I was not at home? Were you bullied at home?"
When he asked the latter question, a hint of ferocity flashed across his eyes.
Xie Jiaxiu held his hand, which had become increasingly rough during this period, shook her head, frowned, and said, "Don't be anxious. Listen to me first."
Zhao Guozhi: "...then you say."
He closed his mouth and listened attentively.
So Xie Jiaxiu recounted in detail what she had heard outside the wall when she met San Yatou on the road and followed her back.
Because she had been thinking over and over again about the scenes that happened in the past few days, Xie Jiaxiu's narration contained almost no omissions.
After she finished speaking, she sighed worriedly, "I don't know if I'm too nervous about the child and I'm a little paranoid. Anyway, when I see the third girl now, I always feel very uncomfortable. I'm also really worried that Xingxing and Xiaoyue will be bullied by their elder sister who lives under the same roof with me in a place where I can't see them."
So as she had no job before, she kept the matter of building the house to herself and didn't tell anyone about it.
But now the husband also wants to separate the property from the old family more clearly. He has a stable job and can earn full work points, so he has the confidence. Add to that the money from the division of the property and the little money saved over the years, and they can really build a smaller house if they grit their teeth.
After she finished her words, she saw her husband had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a moment, she heard something so chilling that it made her shiver from head to toe.
Two days ago, someone went to the town to report that a gnawed corpse was seen in the mountains.
Not many people knew about this matter for fear of causing a bad influence. He knew about it because his teacher was asked to identify whether the corpse, which was only bones left, was a female or a male, her specific height, etc.
After secret visits to village after village, they finally found a person who might be the deceased in Xihe Village.
People in the village said that she always went out for a long time before returning home, and would go out again after a few days, so no one knew about her going out this time.
Later, the police investigated the woman's suspicious behavior in more detail, and only yesterday found out that the woman might be a bad element hiding among the people, a human trafficker, because whenever she was away, children would inexplicably disappear in the nearby villages.
"She usually walked along mountain roads. She was a widow, so the villagers didn't care where she went every day. No one saw the child she brought home. She basically contacted the child before abducting him, and then sold him directly before returning home to rest for a few days."
Zhao Guozhi's tone was so gloomy when he said this. He looked up at his wife and said in a deep voice, "They all said that the trafficker met a wild boar in the mountains, but I followed him there. There were no wild boars in that mountain. The wild boars had to climb over a mountain to get there. What's more coincidental is that the day the teacher deduced that the trafficker was killed was exactly the day you met San Yatou."
Xie Jiaxiu's face turned pale and she shuddered suddenly.
Her mind was blank at the moment. She felt that every word and sentence her husband said could not reach her ears, and all turned into an inaudible buzzing.
It was not until she heard the childish laughter of the stars and the little moon outside that the blood in her body seemed to warm up inch by inch.
But when she opened her mouth, her teeth were still chattering unconsciously. She tightly grasped her husband's fingers and said anxiously: "Move! We must move out as soon as possible!!!"
In this life, she didn't want to see her children have any contact with Zhao Yuanyuan from her eldest brother's family!
If she hadn't known that Zhao Huayang had changed his personality and become sensible and motivated, she would never have let her two children have any contact with Zhao Huayang and her eldest brother's family! !
No matter what the truth was, no matter how Zhao Yuanyuan was implicated in this matter, as long as she thought that her child might be abducted by human traffickers in a place she couldn't see, or that he might be gnawed into a small and tattered skeleton by wild boars in the deep mountains, she would be filled with fear and hatred! !
I’m afraid there will be a second and third time, I’m afraid there will be one time when I won’t be able to avoid it!
I hate Zhao Yuanyuan so much that I want to find a knife from the kitchen and hack her to death right now!
But her rationality made her sit in the house and tremble with fear.
All the doubts and hesitations before have now turned into certainty that no longer requires any evidence.
She didn't want to know what kind of transformation Zhao Yuanyuan had undergone, nor did she want to know what kind of vicious thoughts she had. She just wanted to protect the two children under her wings and prevent anyone from hurting them!
Zhao Guozhi's expression was also gloomy. He also didn't need to find any evidence to prove what means Zhao Yuanyuan had used to harm his two children. He just called Xiaoyueliang and asked her if she had seen any strangers in the past two days and whether her brother had gone out.
Every naive answer from Little Moon is irrefutable evidence.
It is evidence that Zhao Yuanyuan tried to kill her own child!
Even though Zhao Yuanyuan was only six years old, and even though logically speaking, Zhao Yuanyuan had no ability to plan the crime, but... she was the murderer of attempted murder.
"Don't be afraid, leave it to me."
Zhao Guozhi reached out and hugged his wife who was still shivering and cold. His gentle tone concealed a cruelty that only he knew.
"I will go to the village chief and the team leader now and ask them to approve a foundation for us. I will find someone to build the house tomorrow."
As for eldest brother's family, especially Zhao Yuanyuan...she is still a child. Even though I can't kill her, or even beat her for no reason, it doesn't matter. It is too easy to raise a child into a piece of mud.
The autumn rain fell intermittently for several days.
At this moment, the sky outside was extremely gloomy, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to pour down, but Zhao Guozhi hurried out at night with an umbrella.
Xingxing has sealed up his special powers, and he also deliberately does not use his overly outstanding five senses to perceive the movements around him.
So when Qiuqiu came to share the conversation between his parents with him, there was more curiosity than confusion in Xingxing's eyes.
"It seems a bit interesting." The child whispered about a topic that was irrelevant to the point.
Qiuqiu was distracted for a second and couldn't help but feel proud: "Yeah, this feeling of sharing little stories is really great!"
No wonder all humans like gossip. From now on, it and the stars are also gossipy kids!
