Chapter 4: The Evil Uncle's Family
When Ming Changhe was in the army, he started out as a small soldier. Later, by chance, he learned medical skills from someone and became a military doctor. After retiring from the army, he worked in a hospital pharmacy. When he died, Ming Dai, his adopted daughter, was able to take over his job even though she was only 14 years old.
The girl became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time. She also knew some pharmacology and performed the treatment very well.
Before Ming Changhe fell ill, he specially asked someone to take care of her. If nothing unexpected happens, the little girl will have no problem raising herself.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the shamefulness of his eldest brother's family.
When he died, Ming Changjiang didn't come to help at all. Only after he was buried did he come to his house hypocritically, with the purpose of taking Ming Changhe's savings book and job.
When he was discharged from the army, he received a large sum of retirement benefits and also had a salary from working in a hospital, which was much better than Ming Changjiang's status as a worker in a soy sauce factory. He also had only one adopted daughter, so naturally he could save a lot of money.
Unfortunately, the family of four searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find it. They were so angry that they beat and scolded Mingdai.
The little girl didn't dare to resist, but she gritted her teeth and said no. The neighbors saw the commotion so badly that they called the police, which scared the people away.
But Ming Changjiang could not give up. He was afraid of being accused of mistreating military orphans, so he and his son did not come. Instead, he asked his wife and daughter to come under the pretext of taking care of his niece and cousin, and used all kinds of verbal insults to force Xiao Mingdai to hand over the passbook.
The little girl was so scared that she didn't dare go home and worked the night shift for half a month.
Ming Changjiang was so angry that his teeth itched.
It happened that the educated youth went to the countryside, so one person had to go with Ming Changjiang's family.
Ming Yaozu is impossible, the only child in their family can only be Ming Yanhong.
But Ming Yanhong has already fallen in love with the youngest son of the director of the meat processing factory, and she cannot give up such a good marriage.
But Ming Yanhong knew that her parents would definitely sacrifice themselves to save her brother, so she came up with the idea of letting Ming Dai go instead of her. This could be done behind the scenes as long as it wasn't discovered.
Ming Changjiang naturally agreed. Xing Cuilan was thinking about the letter from her hometown, which said that the stupid son of a rich family in their commune wanted to find a wife and came to her for help. It was a good opportunity to arrange for Mingdai to go to the countryside in their commune, and then put her in the stupid man's bed. The little girl knew nothing, so after being scared by the stupid man's family, she would obediently become someone's wife.
She married into the countryside, so the house under Ming Changhe's name would belong to them, right?
So vicious!
Ming Dai sneered. Even though he was not her biological uncle, it was too despicable for him to plot against an orphan girl like this. She had to teach them a lesson and let them know that Ming Dai was no longer the little girl who would hide and cry secretly!
After dinner, Mingdai changed back into her clean coarse cloth clothes, tied her burnt yellow hair into two pigtails, looked at her face which was glowing with health, and took out her cosmetics to put on a sickly makeup.
Seeing the image of herself about to die in the mirror, Mingdai went out with satisfaction.
When I came out, it was still dark outside and everything was quiet.
She thought for a moment, pushed the bamboo bed out, squeezed into the corner, lifted up a green brick, and took out a small box.
This is the inheritance that Ming's father left to little Mingdai, and it is also the passbook that Xing Cuilan has been looking for.
Looking at the 2,356 yuan written on the passbook, Mingdai sighed.
Xiao Mingdai is luckier than herself in terms of her parents. At least she has an adoptive father who loves her.
In the 1970s, this was a huge sum of money.
She put the passbook into the space and pushed the bed back with one hand.
He clapped his hands, looked at the bright sky, picked up the army green backpack that the original owner often used, and went out.
There were not many people on the street, most of them were out buying night scents.
According to the location in her memory, she came to the second floor of a large compound and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? So early?"
After waiting for a while, the door opened and a middle-aged woman with messy hair looked at Mingdai and was obviously stunned for a moment.
Ming Dai smiled and timidly called out, "Director Niu, sorry to bother you. I have a job that I want to discuss with you."
Niu Qin's eyes lit up immediately. Her daughter had reached the age to go to the countryside, but she couldn't buy a job. She was about to go to the countryside, and she had been very noisy at home these past few days.
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly pulled Mingdai into the house.
"Come on, Mingdai, do you know what the position is?"
Niu Qin is the deputy director of the logistics department of the municipal hospital, and her husband is the director of the hospital's purchasing department. Both of them have a certain say in the hospital.
This is also the reason why Mingdai came to her. Most people would not dare to buy the job she has because they are afraid of trouble.
Mingdai's eyes turned red before she could say anything.
"Director Niu, I will not hide it from you. It is I who want to sell my position.
As you know, I took over my father's job. Recently, my uncle's family has been coming to the hospital frequently to cause trouble, which has had a very bad impact.
Now, my aunt used her connections to secretly enroll me in a rural job and asked me to take care of her child. She also asked me to give up my job to my cousin. This is really too much bullying.
I was very angry, but going to the countryside was a done deal, so I had to go. So I wanted to sell my job so that my aunt and her family wouldn’t get away with it!”
Niu Qin also knew about their family's situation, and she understood it very well after hearing it. Such things were not uncommon at that time. It could only be said that this child was unlucky and all the bad things happened to her.
This is a good deal for her daughter!
"Good boy, you have been wronged. Your aunt is such a ruthless person, for sending you to the countryside at such a young age. Don't worry, I have bought your job, and it will definitely not be cheap to your aunt!"
Ming Dai looked at Director Niu and said, "It's just that my uncle is difficult to deal with. It might be troublesome for you to buy my job."
Niu Qin waved her hands: "Don't worry about that. My brother is a member of the Revolutionary Committee."
This was a pleasant surprise. She still hoped that her aunt would come to find Niu Qin to make trouble.
There were few job opportunities, especially for a leisurely job like the pharmacy. Niu Qin didn't want to cause trouble, so she said to Ming Dai directly: "Ming Dai, the basic salary for a job now is 800 yuan. I'll give you 850. If it's okay, we can go and get it done when we get to work later."
Ming Dai was willing: "Director Niu, no need for 850, just give me 700. I want to trouble you with something else."
Director Niu frowned slightly, fearing that she would make excessive demands, but he still smiled and said, "You tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
The implication is that we will definitely not help if we cannot help.
Ming Dai smiled shyly: "I want to keep the medical skills my father taught me after I go to the countryside. I want to see if I can become a barefoot doctor. You know, I have been a medicine jar since I was a child and I can't do heavy work, so I want some medical equipment and medicines."
After saying this, she blushed and lowered her head, as if she was ashamed of having made excessive demands.
Ming Dai: I deserve the little golden man!
Director Niu breathed a sigh of relief. This was easy. This was what her man did.
At the same time, he also looked at Mingdai with new eyes. This girl was not as weak as she looked. At least she was scheming, which was a good thing.
"What's the big deal? Your uncle has it. Let's go and do the handover first. I'll take you to get it after that!"
Mingdai looked up in surprise and looked at Niu Qin with red eyes. She felt so soft-hearted that she decided to give her more medicine.
After the deal was made, Mingdai politely suggested waiting for her at the hospital entrance and left without paying attention to Director Niu's invitation to have breakfast together.
She wasn't hungry, so she went straight to the hospital and waited.
Standing at the door, watching the unique rush of people going to work in this era is quite novel.
