Bai Hongmei and her daughter play the good cop and the bad cop respectively. They want to take advantage but don't want to be accused of being greedy.
They wanted to abandon young Wei Hong to be raised by others and take her home when she grew up and could earn money. It saves money and worry, and does not delay Bai Hongmei's remarriage.
As for why he wanted to keep Wei Fang by his side, it was because two of the three children had already been sent away, so one had to be left at home to shut up outsiders. Besides, Wei Fang is not young anymore. She can help with the housework at home and is more valuable than her younger sister Wei Hong.
These two women thought they were quite clever, but who was the fool?
Without waiting for Qiao Baozhu to act like a villain, Shen Xiao personally rejected Bai Hongmei's mother.
"You were not at home at the time, so you didn't see how ugly Bai Hongmei's face looked when Captain Shen scolded her. Hahahaha..."
Zhang Cuilian straightened her back and imitated Shen Xiao's signature move - one hand on the waist - vividly.
"Yanda died, and the organization gave my sister-in-law 100 yuan in consolation money and 450 yuan in pension. The consolation money was for my sister-in-law, and the pension was for the three children, 150 yuan for each of the three children."
"Sister-in-law wants to send Wei Hong away for adoption, so she should also hand over the pension that belongs to Wei Hong. I don't want this money, I will give it to the organization for safekeeping."
Not only the pension had to be divided, but also the one thousand yuan collected by Shen Xiao and his comrades had to be divided.
By this calculation, Wei Hong had a net worth of 500 yuan at such a young age. If you ask around the family compound, you'll find that there aren't many families who can take out 500 yuan in cash at once.
Based on this huge sum of money, not only was Qiao Baozhu willing to adopt Wei Hong, but all the family members in the family compound wanted to take her home.
Bai Hongmei gave Wei Hong up for adoption in order to save money, so she was unwilling to cut off her meat and share the money.
She had calculated everything, thinking that if she moved out of Wei Yanda's way, Shen Xiao would soften his heart again. The most important thing is that there is only one heated bed in Shen Xiao's house, and Wei Hong would cause some trouble if she went there.
Qiao Baozhu always pretends to be virtuous and generous, so she will help Qiao Baozhu to be a virtuous person. She asked Qiao Baozhu to spend money and effort to help Bai Hongmei raise a child, but she herself wanted a child but did not have the conditions.
Unfortunately, Bai Hongmei's thoughts were too rosy, and Shen Xiao saw through her little trick at a glance.
Knowing that what she cared about most was money, he suppressed Bai Hongmei's restless heart as soon as he opened his mouth.
From then on, Mrs. Bai took care of her pregnant daughter while serving her two granddaughters, Wei Fang and Wei Hong.
"Didn't Bai Hongmei claim that her family were all intellectuals? How come her mother is even shabbier than an old country lady?"
"That old lady was dressed so sleekly when she went out, with high heels, a tweed coat, and a red scarf. She looked younger than me."
"The day before yesterday, I went to her home on behalf of the Women's Federation to express my condolences. There was no place to step inside her house. There were things piled up everywhere inside and outside the house, and my hands were covered in dust wherever I touched. There were piles of little lice on Wei Hong's head. It was so painful to look at!"
Zhang Cuilian described it so vividly that the disgusted Qiao Baozhu got goose bumps all over her body.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, please stop talking."
"I feel itchy all over and my scalp is tingling now."
Qiao Baozhu rubbed her arms with disgust. She couldn't stand the image that appeared in her mind.
"In fact, it's a good thing for us that Li Yan can rent the house to Bai Hongmei."
Zhang Cuilian looked puzzled: "Good news? What kind of good news is this? I wish I could stay away from it."
Qiao Baozhu smiled cleverly: "That's not how it works. Suppose Bai Hongmei moves back to the city, and you look at the price of coal this winter, how much honeycomb coal can her mother afford to buy for her?"
"Bad-priced coal requires tickets, and high-priced coal requires money. Bai Hongmei doesn't have either of these. Who do you think will pay for this?"
Zhang Cuilian gritted her teeth, her teeth itching with hatred: "Those who have money should pay, and those who don't have money should find tickets. The one in our family is the instructor, he has to take the lead in this matter."
Zhang Cuilian became furious when she thought about how Bai Hongmei was like a bottomless pit and would take advantage of anyone she offended.
"And Jiang Sen is also an idiot. There is something that Wu Meili doesn't even know about. If my old Duan hadn't told me about it, I wouldn't have known about it either."
Qiao Baozhu thought of Wu Meili getting up early and working late every day to make shoe soles, and breaking every penny into eight petals. Not only does he have to support the whole family, but he also has to help his brothers and sisters from time to time.
Her heart couldn't help but tighten: "What did Captain Jiang do behind Sister Wu's back?"
"Officers' allowances are deducted for food expenses. The daily food allowance is 45 cents, which means 14 yuan is deducted per month."
Qiao Baozhu nodded: "I know, Sister Wu told me."
Zhang Cuilian sneered, "There are plenty of people who go home to eat in the family compound, why are they the only ones special?"
Qiao Baozhu had never thought about this. She had just gotten married and Shen Xiao was often away from home.
She was also tactful enough not to ask about matters in the army.
But since Zhang Cuilian said so, something must have gone wrong.
"Not only was Captain Shen sad about Wei Yanda's death, but Jiang Sen also felt guilty. I don't know the details, but from what my old Duan said, the events of that day were quite complicated. But Captain Shen was in good condition and was the person Yanda entrusted his son to before his death, so he took over the matter."
"That Bai Hongmei is such a shameless person. I don't know how she hooked up with Captain Jiang. She was so poor and miserable that she made Captain Jiang soft-hearted."
"He was so impulsive that he gave Bai Hongmei 10 yuan per month as a subsidy."
