Jiang Chengshi gave him a warning look and interrupted him hastily, "Second brother, I will take good care of father and mother. Since you have severed the relationship, we are two families from now on."
Jiang Zhengyi understood his subtext, and Jiang Chengshi stopped Jiang Laotie and Jiang Guafu from ruining his mother's reputation. In exchange, he was not allowed to report Jiang Chengshi for falsely claiming military merits. Even if he reported it, it would be left unresolved without evidence.
"Your parents are your parents, not mine. Similarly, please stop calling me mom. She and Jiang Laotie are no longer married."
After saying this, he left the Jiang family with his mother on crutches.
Jiang Laotie pulled his son and spit on the ground, "Who cares? I really regret that I didn't strangle you to death back then."
Faced with the Jiang family's penniless situation, Widow Jiang was almost in tears. The kang had collapsed and the tiles on the roof had been blown off. How could she sleep at night?
"If God has eyes, he should kill Qian Mei'e and her son. Damn it, they took away all the money I saved with great effort. How am I going to live in the future?"
Jiang Chengshi's face was filled with anger. He looked around the house and said, "Dad, get some straw to cover the roof. We'll just have to make do with this for now."
The family is short of money right now, so Jiang Laotie has to do the work himself. However, he was used to being served by Qian Mei'e, so he was not used to doing the work all of a sudden. "It's the only way. I want Qian Mei'e to know that the Jiang family can still live well without her. It's just repairing a house, who can't do it?"
Widow Jiang nodded. "Our son is a company commander and can earn money. Qian Mei'e can only take care of a disabled son. I don't believe Gu Zhiqing is capable. If he wants to return to the army, forget it in this lifetime. They are just stepping stones to pave the way for our Jiang family."
Just as he finished his words, a bolt of lightning struck down and broke the roof beam instantly, making the house, which originally had only the roof frame left, even worse.
The firewood in the woodshed, along with the wooden furniture, all caught fire.
Who would have thought that in just a short while, the Jiang family's home was completely reduced to ruins, and it was not as simple as repairing a roof.
Then, dark clouds gathered and a drizzle of rain began to fall.
Jiang Laotie was furious in the rain, "Even the heavens are trying to humiliate me?"
The Jiang family really had no place to live, so Jiang Chengshi ran to find the team leader, but was rejected by Zhao Guoming on the grounds that he had no house.
As a last resort, the family of five went to Malaysia to stay temporarily at my mother's home.
Zhao Guoming and his wife found a house for the mother and son in the new educated youth site. It was a bit shabby, but barely habitable. There were three rooms in total, two bedrooms and a main room. The stove was right next to the main room and connected to the kang bed in the next room.
Qian Mei'e was very satisfied and paid two dollars.
Aunt Lu pushed the money back and said, "It's not a big deal. Talking about money hurts our feelings."
"Brothers should settle accounts clearly." This is what Qian Mei'e learned from Sister Wan. "Don't be fooled by me. Even though I used to like to take advantage of others, to be honest, I was a lady from a wealthy family. It's just that I later married to Xiangyang Village, followed the local customs, and was assimilated by Gao Lefeng and Qingshan's wife..."
"I know this is wrong, but I have to become a scoundrel and vain, so that others won't dare to bully me, a foreign daughter-in-law."
This time Aunt Lu was really surprised. She had always thought that Qian Mei'e was from the next village. "Just say this in front of us. Don't let Jiang Laotie know. You are so well-off, why did you marry that scumbag Li Laotie? He is lazy and ugly. What's the point..."
"They are three generations of poor peasants." Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen said in unison.
Aunt Lu sighed softly, "It's safe to marry a poor peasant. Sister Qian, have you ever thought about finding your son's biological father? Do you hate him?"
Qian Mei'e's thoughts drifted away, recalling the wedding night of that year. That night was the most beautiful and happiest moment in her life. She could not remember the man's face, but he gave her a very familiar feeling. He was gentle to her, and she did not reject it at all.
"No, I don't hate him. I'm glad that Zhengyi is not Jiang Laotie's child. From now on, Jiang Laotie can no longer threaten him with filial piety."
Gu Wanwan and her husband were more practical. They brought some daily necessities for the mother and son, and disinfected the pots and pans from the enemy's nest and took them out for the mother and son to use.
On behalf of the troops, Fu Jingchen sent some rice, flour, meat and malted milk in the name of his superior.
If you give it directly, Qian Mei'e will definitely not accept it.
Hu Zhiming and Zheng Shican also came over after get off work to deliver brown sugar and canned food. The four elders from the cowshed were even more straightforward, telling them to come to them if they needed any help.
Aunt Lu's family had limited food, so she sent a few baskets of vegetables and asked Qian Mei'e to pick them herself after she finished eating.
Qian Mei'e was so moved that her eyes turned red. Jiang Zhengyi bowed to everyone. The mother and son lost their family and father's love, but gained precious human love. "Thank you everyone..."
Seeing that the room was almost cleaned up, Gu Wanwan asked Jiang Zhengyi to lie on the kang and gave him a simple checkup. "I will start treating your legs today, and we hope you can return to the army as soon as possible."
Qian Mei'e assured her, "Sister Wan, no matter how much it costs, I am willing to pay. I will give you the three thousand yuan as the treatment fee."
"Your son was injured on duty, so you don't need to pay, but you can keep it with me temporarily to prevent it from being stolen by Jiang Laotie." Gu Wanwan smiled and glanced at Qian Mei'e's changed face. "Sister Qian, your blessing is yet to come. Congratulations."
Qian Mei'e knew Sister Wan's ability and would never make boasts. "Sister Wan, do you mean that my son has a bright future?"
Gu Wanwan said mysteriously, "Not only that, congratulations on scoring twice."
Qian Mei'e's face turned red with embarrassment. "I'm already old, how can I still have the energy to look for someone? I don't even know who that person is. There are so many people in this world, and I don't know if he will take responsibility. I just want to be with my son. What do you think? Should I buy this house? Or should I build another one? Only with a house can I feel a sense of belonging."
Fu Jingchen thought about it and said to her, "I suggest you don't buy it. It may not be long before you and Zhengyi are ready to join the army."
Jiang Zhengyi looked at the commander in disbelief. The condition for being able to join the army is to be at the company level. "Commander..."
Fu Jingchen patted his shoulder and said, "Take good care of your injuries."
From this moment on, Jiang Zhengyi was full of new hope for the future. He no longer became depressed, but actively cooperated with the treatment. He no longer locked himself in the house and saw no one. Instead, he bravely took the first step, went out for a walk, greeted everyone he met, and went down to the fields to bring water and food to his mother.
Of course, Gu Wanwan knocked Jiang Zhengyi unconscious and sent him to the space for repair and treatment. With the help of the wood-type healing ability, his broken leg bones were quickly reconnected. The recovery time is tentatively set at half a month to avoid it being too severe.
She mixed spiritual spring water into some special pills and gave them to Jiang Zhengyi to repair his hidden injuries.
After busting the Qingshan human traffickers' den, Fu Jingchen unlocked large tracts of fields and mountain lakes, and even opened a small hole in the barrier separating the two spaces, almost the size of a head.
As she treated Jiang Zhengyi, the space changed again...
