Jia Zhang, little old Jia, and little old Jia's son who was beaten black and blue.
The three finally returned to their hometown in the early morning.
Young Mr. Jia and his son returned home, and Jia Zhang also wanted to go with them.
But then he thought about it and realized that his sister-in-law didn't like him very much, so he would probably be kicked out if he went.
So he simply returned to the Jia family's old house.
However, the Jia family’s old house has become a bit dilapidated as no one has visited it for many years.
Jia Zhang also went in with courage and stayed overnight. The weather was very good at that time and not cold at all. Jia Zhang was just a little bit tired of being fed by mosquitoes.
So early the next morning, Jia Zhang got up and went to find the person in charge of the Jia family.
"Fourth uncle, are you home?" Jia Zhang shouted outside the door.
"Who is it? Why are you shouting so early in the morning?" There was a voice coming from the yard.
"It's me, Fourth Uncle, Dongxu's mother." Jia Zhang lay on the crack of the gate and looked into the yard.
"Oh, it's Dongxu's mother. Wait a minute, let me open the door for you!" The fourth master of the Jia family welcomed Jia Zhang into the house.
"Fourth uncle, you can help with the household matters, otherwise our family will not be able to survive!" As soon as Jia Zhang entered the house, she sat on the ground and began to cry.
"Why can't you survive? Isn't Dongxu also working now?" The fourth master of the Jia family said unhappily. Among the entire Jia family, Jia Dongxu is the only one who works in the capital, and he doesn't get any credit at all.
"No, Fourth Uncle, this land has been turned over to the public. From now on, our family will have two to three hundred kilograms less grain a year." Jia Zhang said aggrievedly as she sat on the ground.
"It's less, so what? Now your fourth uncle doesn't have the final say. I can't give you work points even though your family doesn't work, right?" The fourth master of the Jia family said bluntly.
"It really doesn't count if you don't work?" Jia Zhang asked the Fourth Master of the Jia family.
"You are not afraid of being beaten to death, but the scorer is afraid of being beaten to death by the villagers!" said the fourth master of the Jia family.
"So our land is gone just like that?" Jia Zhang was very unwilling to accept this.
"No, unless you are willing to come back to farm. Now you can still get work points as a laborer. Even if you are not full, it will be enough!" said the fourth master of the Jia family after thinking for a while.
Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: I am a city dweller now, how can I come back to farm? The old man always gives bad advice!
"Fourth Uncle, you are the one who makes the decisions on all matters big and small in the Jia family now. Even our uncle Bang Geng has to call you Fourth Master. Our family really can't survive without this food!" Jia Zhang started to act like a spoiled child while lying on the ground.
"Don't even mention calling me Fourth Master. It's useless to even call me Fourth Ancestor. Go and ask, who dares to give you a score if you don't work? There's no need to play tricks on me. It's useless." The Fourth Master of the Jia family was almost mad. This old woman was still being so unreasonable.
"I heard that the village is now setting up a big canteen?" Jia Zhang's eyes rolled around and she started thinking about building a canteen again.
"It's being done, it's being done!" said the fourth master of the Jia family indifferently.
"I didn't bring any food with me. Can I go to the cafeteria to eat?" Jia Zhang asked eagerly.
"You have to pay if you eat there." said the fourth master of the Jia family.
"I don't have any money. If you don't let me go, I will tell the villagers about what happened between us..." Seeing that talking without hesitation didn't work, Jia Zhang started to threaten.
"Go, go. What happened back then is nothing. I was blind back then. I'll tell them later and ask them to get out of here right away." The fourth master of the Jia family was so angry that he cursed. It was just a misstep back then, and it happened decades ago.
Jia Zhang came out of the fourth master of the Jia family's house with satisfaction and wandered around the village.
"Oh, isn't this Dongxu's mother? Why did this city person come back to the village?" The second aunt of the Jia family said hurriedly when she saw Jia Zhang.
"His second aunt, now his second uncle still hangs out at Widow Wu's house at the village end every day!" Jia Zhang was quick to expose others' shortcomings. She thought that he was a bully in his past, so how could she allow others to ridicule him?
"Some of these people are even worse than Widow Wu!" said the second aunt of the Jia family bluntly.
"That's better than not being able to control your own man!" Jia Zhang replied.
"Hmph, Dongxu's mother, now that you've become a city dweller, stop worrying about the trivialities of the village. Outsiders will laugh at our Jia family!" Jia Dongxu's second aunt said finally.
"Hmph." Jia Zhang turned her head and ignored everyone, then went back to the Jia family's old house.
Jia Zhang had been staying in the village for a week and hadn't shown any intention of going back.
The commune canteen has just started operating and the food here is delicious every day.
However, soon someone from the commune came to the home of the fourth master of the Jia family.
"That Jia Zhang must be let go, unless he is willing to stay and work, or pay money. He can't eat and drink for free every day." The visitor said bluntly.
"Okay, I got it. I'll talk to her later!" The fourth master of the Jia family was also fed up with Jia Zhang.
The fourth master of the Jia family is still quite capable.
It took no effort at all to threaten Jia Zhang to leave.
………
On the other hand, Qin Huairu also followed Jia Zhang's advice and returned to Qinjia Village.
"Oh! Isn't this the city dweller from our Qin family? He still remembers to come back!" Uncle Qin said when he saw Qin Huairu bringing the child back.
"Hello, uncle." Qin Huairu didn't say anything back, but just said hello.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm fine or not. You're a city person, come back to see your parents?" Uncle Qin said with a hint of sarcasm.
"I haven't been back for a long time. I came back to see my family." Qin Huairu said.
"Hmph." Uncle Qin snorted. He knew very well that it would not be that simple for Qin Huairu to come back.
