According to the custom in Qingyan Mountain, Captain Jiang must be buried after seven days.
These seven days have exhausted Qiao Baozhu terribly, and Wu Meili seems to be completely stupid, she cried and fainted, and woke up crying again.
He is completely different from the man who used to be able to carry his entire family on his shoulders.
Captain Jiang's parents went to the camp and made a scene, demanding compensation, their retirement pension, and support for their children.
It’s a pity that Company Commander Jiang was not a martyr. He died in the most cowardly and aggrieved way.
The Corps is about to be disbanded, and the finance department has no money to allocate.
Shen Xiao ran around and finally managed to get him 550 yuan in funeral expenses.
Instructor Duan also suggested that comrades in the camp donate some money to Captain Jiang’s family.
However, the Corps is about to be disbanded, and no one knows where next month's salary will come from. I don’t know how long the little money in my pocket can last, and everyone is willing but unable to make ends meet.
Seeing that the Corps was really short of money, Captain Jiang's parents and brothers took 300 yuan from the remaining 550 yuan for funeral expenses and left.
"It's really too much. They have been eating and drinking from Sister Wu for years, and even sticking to Sister Wu to suck her blood."
"When Captain Jiang died, he took away most of the funeral expenses. What can we do with the 250 yuan?"
Zhang Cuilian was so angry that she started cursing, but the people who took the money were Captain Jiang's parents, so no one could say anything.
The most lamentable thing is Wu Meili, who has to raise five children alone and has neither a job nor any land.
Captain Jiang's parents even think their grandson is a burden, let alone a daughter-in-law.
The three hundred yuan was the retirement money that Captain Jiang left for his two elders. In the future, the old couple will take care of them in their old age and will not have to trouble Wu Meili and the children.
Everyone in the family compound knew about this matter. Regardless of whether they had any conflicts with Wu Meili in the past, everyone felt sorry for her.
After the family left, everyone spontaneously raised some money. Your family contributes one dollar and his family contributes fifty cents, and the total amount is one hundred and eighty dollars. Qiao Baozhu donated one hundred yuan privately and handed the money and the account book to Wu Meili.
"Sister Wu, no matter how many words of comfort you say, it's useless. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living must continue to live their lives."
Qiao Baozhu looked at Wu Meili, whose eyes were dull and lifeless, and felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
"Captain Jiang has been in the Corps for eight years, and the organization will not treat him unfairly. Although the Corps is about to be disbanded, it will definitely not be a situation where people are forgotten after they leave."
"Things have to be done one by one, and meals have to be eaten bite by bite. Don't worry, life will get better for you and the children."
The Jiang family made a farce, clearly showing that they disliked Wu Meili'niang and the others as a burden. If there is benefit, the Jiang family will grab it; if there is no benefit, the Jiang family will withdraw.
Poor Wu Meili, she has worked like a slave for most of her life, but she didn't even notice these ungrateful people.
"We don't have a house or a piece of land. My husband is dead and my husband's family has kicked us out. I don't have Bai Hongmei's skills. These children will starve to death sooner or later if they follow me."
Wu Meili, who had been silent for ten days, finally spoke.
Seeing that she finally spoke, Qiao Baozhu felt relieved.
She looked around, made sure there were no outsiders around, and said in a low voice with a smile.
"Don't worry, Shen Xiao has already made arrangements. After the New Year, the province will set up a new unit called the Farm General Administration. After the Corps is abolished, those who are willing to stay can directly work in the Farm General Administration."
"Your eldest child will be 17 after the Chinese New Year, right? Shen Xiao said that he will arrange for your eldest child to work in the farm general administration. The second and third children are both good at studying, so if they can pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, they will go there. If they can't pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, they will learn a craft."
Wu Meili's eyes suddenly lit up. She sat up straight, took Qiao Baozhu's hand and said excitedly, "Are you serious? Can my eldest son go to a class?"
Qiao Baozhu nodded: "The Corps has no money in its account, but the country will never mistreat a soldier who has served the country for many years."
"Don't worry, things will get better."
