The next day.
Comrade Xiao Su drove a jeep to pick up Tang Wanning and Su Meijuan early in the morning.
Since I packed my luggage yesterday, I can just pick up my bag and leave now.
Su Meijuan had a smile on her lips. "Are you the one sent by Deputy Battalion Commander Li to take us back? Thank you for your hard work, young comrade."
"It's not hard." Xiao Su scratched his head. "Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Su. Are you going to take these back? I'll help you carry them to the car."
After saying that, before Su Meijuan could react, Xiao Su strode out with a large sack in one hand.
Tang Wanning naturally carried the remaining one, after all, she was stronger than her mother.
Seeing this, Su Meijuan hurriedly followed with her and her daughter's luggage.
TRAIN STATION.
Xiao Su took the two of them to check their tickets and get on the bus. Thanks to the presence of Xiao Su, a soldier, the journey was smoother than the way here.
The train slowly stopped, reminding Su Meijuan that she had arrived at the station. As soon as she got out of the train station, Su Meijuan's eyes fell on the things her daughter and Xiao Su were carrying.
Even though she was extremely anxious, she knew that things had different priorities.
So the three of them got on the bus back to the village. When they arrived at the village entrance, Xiao Su was the first to get off the bus carrying two sacks.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the bus, I was seen by the uncles and aunts at the village entrance.
When Tang Wanning and Su Meijuan got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by this group of old men and women.
Aunt 1: "Oh, isn't this Meijuan and Wanning? Where have you been these past two days? You might not know yet, something big has happened in your family, old..."
When Su Meijuan and Tang Wanning heard that something big had happened in their family, their hearts skipped a beat. "Xiao Su, hurry up and go back first."
With Xiao Su and Tang Wanning leading the way, the group of old men and women were quickly dispersed.
Tang family.
As soon as Su Meijuan got home, she rushed in hurriedly, "Old Tang, Xiaoxu."
Tang Huaixu, who was reading, didn't care about the book in his hand when he heard his mother's voice. He just threw the book aside and ran out excitedly, "Mom, sister, you are back."
Su Meijuan quickly looked her son over and found nothing wrong, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she was sure what big thing had happened at home, she was still feeling uneasy.
"Xiao Xu, I heard from the aunt at the village entrance that something big happened in our family. What happened?"
Tang Huaixu was stunned at first, then he thought of something and said sarcastically, "Bai Xiuying came back yesterday and spread the news that Xu Zhenhua was still alive everywhere in the village."
After hearing what her son said, although Su Meijuan was confused, she also understood that this should be the big thing that the aunt was talking about.
Well, she thought something had happened and was scared all the way.
Hearing his brother's words, Tang Wanning felt relieved. "Mom, I'll take these things in first."
Looking at the three sacks of things, Su Meijuan was happy. She had been worried that the villagers would ask questions and it would be difficult for them to get away, but after this misunderstanding, they were able to carry the things back home directly.
"OK."
Su Meijuan looked away only after watching her daughter carry the things into the room.
Before she and her son could explain, they heard noisy footsteps coming from the front door.
Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Su Meijuan quickly looked at her son, "Xiao Xu, ask Xiao Su to sit inside, and then take out all the peanuts and sunflower seeds in the house."
After saying that, Su Meijuan hurried over to meet him.
Their house couldn't accommodate so many people coming at once.
It’s better to be at the front door, as it has a large space and a wide view.
Before Su Meijuan could stand still, Auntie 1 sat on the small stool she brought with her and spoke breathlessly.
"Mei...Meijuan, why are you so impatient? I haven't even finished my words, and you've already taken Wanning and run off."
"When I heard you say something happened at home, how could I stand there?" Tang Huaixu happened to come out with peanuts and sunflower seeds. Su Meijuan hurriedly took them and said, "Come on, everyone, grab some and let's sit down and talk slowly."
Seeing Tang Huaixu carrying two large bags of peanuts and melon seeds, everyone present became excited.
It’s not because of the peanuts and melon seeds themselves, but because of the signals they bring.
The fact that Su Meijuan took the initiative to distribute these things to everyone shows that something big is happening!
Thinking of this, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and sat up straight.
Zhang Chunhua saw Su Meijuan was surrounded by aunts, and she was so anxious that she squeezed in, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and started to speak impatiently at the top of her voice:
"Meijuan, you may not know this yet, but Bai Xiuying returned to the village yesterday and spread the word that her son was not dead, and then she started borrowing money from every household.
Look, she went to her parents' home again early this morning, probably to borrow money. Everyone is wondering if Zhenhua is in trouble and she is going to lend him money to save his life."
After hearing what Zhang Chunhua said, Su Meijuan couldn't help but feel suspicious.
What is Bai Xiuying doing?
Her son was expelled from the army and sentenced to prison, but she didn't try to find a way to get him back and even borrowed money from everyone in the village.
Could it be that he wants to bribe the leader with money?
Isn't she dreaming?
Su Meijuan didn't figure it out, but Tang Wanning behind her guessed it.
She was very surprised when she received the compensation. After all, Xu Zhenhua was going to pay her 1,320 yuan, which was not a small amount.
It now seems that the army may have paid the shortfall first, so Bai Xiuying is now anxiously borrowing money everywhere.
As for Xu Zhenhua's decision to cheat and refuse to pay, that's like an old man hanging himself - he thinks his life is too long.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanning raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Aunt Chunhua is right. Bai Xiuying really went to borrow money to save her son."
Hearing Tang Wanning's words, the onlookers' eyes lit up.
Here we come!
"What do you mean?" Auntie 1 opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Wanning like a curious baby. "Wanning, do you know something?"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Tang, do you know something? If so, please tell us quickly. I'm so worried."
......
For a moment, the crowd was talking at once, chattering so loudly that Tang Wanning's head almost exploded.
"Aunties, please be quiet for now." Tang Wanning said with a smile, "My mother knows about this too. Let her tell you."
After the words fell, everyone present shut their mouths and looked at Su Meijuan in unison.
Seeing this, Su Meijuan actually felt a little nervous. After all, so many pairs of eyes were staring at her without blinking. Even though she was usually calm, she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
But when she thought of the grievances her daughter had suffered, her eyes instantly became much firmer. She took a deep breath and suppressed her inner discomfort and nervousness.
