There was a clatter of sound, and everyone who heard the noise rushed to the threshing floor.
From a distance, I could hear Li Qingmei tearfully talking about the difficulties she had faced over the years.
Especially in the years when natural disasters were severe, everyone had been through it, and everyone in the team knew who had gone through what kind of situations.
In addition, I have to judge for myself by others. When I think about my own family at that time, which was also a difficult situation to look back on, I can't help but wipe away my tears.
The old lady also complained that Qiu Jianshe's family was unfilial.
Li Qingmei continued to cry and complain without caring about anything, "...I don't know what the old lady was thinking, she fell in love with my big blue brick and tile house and my gray donkey, and asked me to give them to her eldest son.
God is my witness. Not to mention that this was earned brick by brick by ourselves, even if it was divided among our ancestors, there is no reason for us to make room while people are still here.
Dashu and his wife just went to school. The children were too young to take care of them, so we went to help them and make things easier for them. Then the old people couldn't wait to ask us to make room.
Is there really a mother like this? I'm already old, and today I'm going to risk it all. I'm going to go to the grave of my ancestors and ask if the second son of Qiu is a descendant of the Qiu family? "
“…”
Zhang Wanhua and the team leader's wife supported Li Qingmei, who was about to collapse from crying, on either side. "Qingmei, don't cry. Everyone in this team can testify that when you two separated, you left with a tattered mattress and a broken pot. You carved out this life for yourself..."
Fourth Aunt, what are you still making a fuss about? This was all decided when the family was divided. Even when Second Brother and Qingmei were starving to death, they never gave up. Not to mention your usual partiality, why are you openly snatching them away now?"
The captain's family is also a member of the Women's Federation. They don't talk much on weekdays, but when something happens, if they really want to say a few words, they can always speak to the point.
Thanks to Qiu Yuling, many families in the team owed favors to Qiu Laoer's family. Now that someone stepped forward, everyone had a backbone and followed suit in the crusade.
The old lady didn't expect that the listless Li Qingmei would risk her dignity to cry out, and she also didn't expect that the team members were so united that they were willing to testify for Li Qingmei and also humiliate her.
You know, before this, she was considered the most respected old lady in the team.
Boss Qiu was found by the team leader, who sent him to the wheat field to bring his mother home.
"Mom, don't you have a headache? The doctor said you can't be exposed to the wind. I'll take you back..." As soon as we arrived at the place, Qiu Da didn't argue at all, but supported my mother and retreated.
Li Qingmei also returned home safely with the help of Zhang Wanhua and others. Qiu Jianshe was not there, so she took a tractor and went to the farm to deliver things to Qiu Dashan's family.
For the first time, she howled in public without any restraint, venting the anger that had been pent up for decades.
As soon as the person who comforted her left, she quickly ran to the main room, covered her chest, and turned around twice on the ground in joy.
Then she fetched some water, rubbed her face again, hitched the donkey cart, and went to her mother's brigade.
My mother's family is also full of joy. The children have all grown up and are busy preparing new bedding.
As agreed with her daughters in advance, Li Qingmei took out the money wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket, opened the layers one by one, and gave each of them five dollars.
"This money is a small gift from your uncle and I. When you're away from home, you should be frugal..."
"Take it and thank your aunt quickly. If it weren't for Yuling who supported you all in your studies all these years, you wouldn't be where you are today. You all must remember the kindness of your aunt and Yuling." Zhou Hongfang took charge and asked the children to accept it.
Originally, everyone was embarrassed to accept it. They have been receiving salaries in recent years, and their conditions have improved compared to many people.
Now I feel embarrassed to accept money from my aunt.
But Zhou Hongfang thought clearly that since her elder sister-in-law could take out the money, it meant she was willing to give it to them sincerely, so she told the children to accept it with peace of mind, remember the kindness in their hearts, and return it double in the future.
Li Qingmei asked a few questions and suddenly remembered Qiu Yuling's instructions. "Yuling asked me to tell you guys that you must not show off your admission letters. Whether at home or outside, you must keep them close to you..."
It is said that those who are resentful and have bad intentions will either destroy it or hide it and use someone else's name to impersonate someone else.
Several people were shocked and broke out in cold sweats, especially Li Yingchao from his second uncle's family. His wife Song Pingping took the notice away, "...she said she was going back to her parents' house to show off..."
The second sister-in-law was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She was frightened by what the eldest sister-in-law had just said.
Zhou Hongfang acted decisively and slapped her silly nephew on the back of the head. "What are you still standing there for? Your wife just left. Go after her and get it back. Yingchao and Yingze should follow too..."
Song Pingping's pace was not fast enough, and she was caught up by the three brothers who intercepted her halfway.
"Where's my acceptance letter?"
Song Pingping's eyes flashed. "It's in the bag. I haven't shown it to my eldest and second brothers yet..."
Li Yingchao was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He grabbed the bundle and opened it. Fortunately, the notice was still lying inside.
He picked it up carefully, brushed off the sand that had accidentally gotten on it, and put it away against his jacket.
"What are you doing? I told you to take it back and let them take a look. I took it back. Can I still eat it?"
Li Yingchao raised his eyelids and said, "Just tell me when you get back. The notice is made of paper, it's thin. If you accidentally tear it, it will delay your enrollment."
Song Pingping still wanted to fight for it. She felt that if she didn't bring this thing back, it would not be convincing. What was there for her to show off?
Seeing that his cousins had stepped aside to wait for him, Li Yingchao simply told Song Pingping about her little thoughts and said, "I know what you are thinking. If you can live like this, then we can live like this. If not, then it's up to you.
You secretly took some food and drinks back home, and your family turned a blind eye to it. Now you want to use my admission letter as a pretext. I tell you, even if you succeed, I will ruin it. I will be in trouble, and no one will be able to do anything about it..."
Li Yingchao felt that he couldn't live any longer. He had thought about divorce countless times, and the thought reached its peak at this moment.
Song Pingping didn't think much of it. She just thought that the man was humiliating her in front of outsiders. She wanted to continue to compete with him and make things clear.
She simply didn't go to her parents' home as agreed, and followed behind, insisting that he explain clearly what he meant by those words just now.
Several people came back noisily, especially Song Pingping. She felt even more aggrieved when she saw the adults and complained about Li Yingchao.
No one spoke. Even Li Yingfen, who used to be the most outspoken, has now learned to work more and talk less.
Li Yingtao couldn't stand it any longer and explained to her sister-in-law that the reason her brother was so nervous was simply because the notice was so fragile and important...
