Halfway through the journey, Xu Qiuxia felt the urge to pee, but she didn't like going to public toilets, so after thinking about it, she trotted back home.
But I happened to hear Wei Lifang talking about the gold bars.
She was nearly pissed off.
No wonder she was asked to make phone calls, wire money, and buy envelopes. That was not the case at all. She wanted to spend herself so that she could share the money with her two sons.
Why!
They all have the surname Xu. Just because she is a daughter, she doesn’t get a share of the gold bars?
Xu Qiuxia really wanted to rush out and ask whether she was her biological child, but she held back. Her brain, which had not been used for many years, started working for a rare time.
If she rushed out, the gold bars would have to be moved, and no matter how much she made a fuss, it would be useless. Her mother had already decided that she was an outsider and would not give her any.
She had to stay calm. Now that her family was broken up, she had to strive for the greatest benefit for herself. The best strategy would be to take the things away without anyone noticing before she left.
Xu Qiuxia gritted her teeth and quietly left the yard.
Wei Lifang and Xu Tian were completely unaware.
"The money in the passbook should be divided into three parts."
She left the bulk of it at home for Xu Tian to take, and she and her daughter each took one of the remaining two.
The total amount after discount was six thousand yuan, which was a huge sum of money in the seventies!
This money was embezzled by Xu Haifeng by taking advantage of his position, and the top priority is to take it out quickly.
"Hey, stay home. Mom's going to get the money."
"Um."
Wei Lifang took the seal, household registration booklet, and passbook and went to the savings bank.
After a while, she came back with six thousand yuan.
Xu Tian was an apprentice in a steel factory, earning 17.8 yuan a month. Later, he got into an accident and the factory compensated him part of the money. His salary also increased to 45 yuan, and his medical expenses were reimbursed 100%.
This money has always been in Xu Tian's own savings account. The factory will support him for the rest of his life and he will never have to worry about food and drink.
"Here are three thousand yuan for you. Keep it for yourself. Don't touch your salary. Spend this first."
Wei Lifang is a capable person. She keeps her home in order and is thoughtful.
"Mom wants to bring some more of these remaining food coupons to your sister."
Xu Tian had no objection.
Wei Lifang picked out all the things for Xu Qiuxia separately.
I gave her one thousand yuan, and picked out the food coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, industrial coupons, etc. and put them together with the money.
The pots, pans, quilts and mattresses at home are all ready-made, so there is no need to prepare them specially.
There were two radios, one for Xu Qiuxia to take to the countryside, and two four-wheeled vehicles, one for the Jiang family as a betrothal gift, and the other...
You can't keep it, so just sell it if it doesn't work.
Xu Tian stared at the ceiling and asked quietly, "Mom, can you really let Jiang Yan marry in?"
Wei Lifang smiled gently, "Don't worry, son." The little bitch couldn't fly out of her palm.
After a while, Xu Qiuxia came back.
"It's all done. What did your uncle say?"
"Yeah." She was not in high spirits. "I told you not to worry. Xiaowen is fine with him."
Wei Lifang's brother from her natal family had six or seven daughters but no sons, so he treated Xiaowen like his own son.
Xu Qiuxia gave the remittance receipt to Wei Lifang, her eyes fixed on the box.
"Your things are all ready." Wei Lifang showed her the money and tickets she had prepared in advance.
"Here is one thousand yuan, saved for you. When you get there, save it. I'll also give you one hundred and fifty yuan in change, keep it close to you. There will be subsidies for going to the countryside, and I'll give it to you along with these tickets."
Wei Lifang was also reluctant to leave her daughter behind. "I told your brother to give you a radio and a bicycle."
"We can't take the self-propelled troops to the countryside." Xu Qiuxia was not interested. One thousand yuan was a lot, and with one hundred and fifty yuan in change and the subsidy, it would be around one thousand four hundred yuan.
For an ordinary family, this is a huge sum of money.
But can these be compared with gold bars? No matter how dumb Xu Qiuxia was, she knew that gold bars were more valuable. Moreover, it was not just one or two bars, two bags could hold a lot.
She no longer trusts Wei Lifang. She thinks she is biased and who knows how many good things she has left for her two sons without her knowledge.
"Then sell it and take it to the countryside for you." Anyway, we can't let those parasites get away with it.
"Mom, where should I go in the countryside? Let me make it clear first, I'm not going to the Northwest. I heard people say that people there eat sand every day."
"Don't go to the northwest, go to the northeast." Wei Lifang had already made plans for her daughter. "The east is richer. Although it's a bit colder, but food is only grown once a year, so it doesn't have to be too hard."
"All right."
Wei Lifang worked against the clock, first sewing a pocket on her underwear, and stuffing the money and tickets she had prepared for herself into the pocket.
She is different from the children. She has no way to escape the farm transformation. When that happens, no one can help her. She just needs to save some money to survive.
She left 3,000 yuan for her son and 1,000 yuan for her daughter. She kept 500 yuan of the remaining 2,000 yuan and pocketed the rest for herself.
Wei Lifang knocked on Ma Changlin's door, carrying the gifts she bought during the day.
Ma Changlin was the director of the Office of Educated Youth Going to the Countryside, and Xu Haifeng was his superior, who had helped him. Wei Lifang relied on this favor to successfully get a note from Ma Changlin and arranged for her daughter to go to the countryside in Northeast China.
She knew that favors were gone once they were used up, but what did it matter? She had achieved her goal! Besides, things change over time, who knows what the future will be like!
Wei Lifang came out of Ma Changlin's house and went to Shi's house without stopping.
Shi Dalei has been released. There was nothing going on between him and Xu Haifeng. It was said that there was a deal, but everything was still in the planning stage. Before it could be implemented, Xu Haifeng fell.
Shi Dalei was considered lucky as he was released safely after a round of the Revolutionary Committee. Shi Yan's problem was more serious. He is still being detained and it involves work style issues, so it is impossible for him to be released easily.
Wei Lifang's arrival caught Shi Dalei off guard.
This woman has always been arrogant, but this time she was smiling and carrying something.
"Uncle, I came here to discuss the marriage of our two children with you."
marriage?
Yang Hongying was a little confused. She gave a fake smile and asked, "What kind of marriage is this, aunt? You've confused me."
"My Xu Tian and your Jiang Yan." Wei Lifang smiled, "How could you forget? Isn't this what our brothers Old Xu and Da Lei agreed on?"
That was in the past. Now your husband, Mr. Xu, is in jail.
Yang Yinghong only dared to think about this but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Ah, yes." Wei Lifang leaned back in her chair and said, "Old Xu has fallen, and now our family can't rely on him. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Even if it's me, I'm afraid I'll be implicated. If things go wrong, I might even be sent to a farm for reform."
As soon as she said this, Shi Dalei and Yang Hongying became even more confused. How could they get married when things had come to this?
