Because Yang Laoda lost his life because of him.
The family held their noses and endured it.
Yang's mother returned home triumphantly.
Qiao Wanyue vaguely remembered that in her previous life, three months later, the child who was saved by Boss Yang had his parents starve to death. He only had these parents left in the world, and later he hanged himself in front of Boss Yang's grave.
He left behind a blank sheet of paper with the words: "I've returned my life to him."
Qiao Wanyue secretly went to the child's home. He was three years older than Yang Huaiyuan and his name was Gou Dan. Gou Dan was picked up by his grandparents at the entrance of the village. Because the old couple had no children, they treated Gou Dan as their own son.
After Yang Laoda died, the old couple felt they had let the Yang family down and strictly ordered Gou Dan to repay their kindness. So the family tightened their belts and left food for the Yang family, and told Gou Dan every day to always remember the Yang family's kindness.
Gou Dan suggested cutting off food because his grandparents were so hungry they were skin and bones, and he couldn't bear to let them starve to death. But Yang's mother's outburst had completely humiliated the old couple.
Their secret hunger strike was to save money and food so that Gou Dan could get married and have children.
Qiao Wanyue later found a note written by Gou Dan in the house where they lived. In the note, he wrote that he wished he had been the one who died back then, otherwise his grandparents would not have starved to death.
Qiao Wanyue felt a pang of sadness.
After learning of Gou Dan's death, Yang's mother went to the village office and made a scene.
The brigade leader couldn't argue with her, so the brigade compensated her with 100 yuan and 50 jin of grain per year.
From that time on, Zhong Qingqing's reputation in the brigade was truly ruined.
But Zhong Qingqing didn't care. She maintained her good reputation only for money. What did reputation matter without money and food?
After Yang Huaiyuan was admitted to university, Zhong Qingqing also moved to the city.
She lost contact with the Xiaohe team and moved to another place to continue her disguise.
Looking at Zhong Qingqing's smug face, Qiao Wanyue got up and walked to the brigade leader's side, her lips full of smiles. "Aunt, I understand what you just said. What you meant was that you were afraid everyone would be deceived."
Qiao Wanyue stopped the captain from doing what he was about to do.
Zhong Qingqing looked smug. "You didn't even graduate from elementary school, you can't read a single word, what makes you think you can be the village's messenger?" Yang's mother didn't know what kind of spell Qiao Wanyue had cast on the brigade leader.
But she knew that being a communications officer was a desirable job, and the team must have given her a lot of subsidies.
It must have been Qiao Wanyue who secretly gave the brigade leader a bribe, which is why the brigade leader gave Qiao Wanyue the position of communications officer and also gave her the credit for the state-owned factory.
She didn't believe Qiao Wanyue had any connections to get the dried vegetable delivery business.
Qiao Wanyue scoffed. She made it clear: "So it wasn't that they suspected me of getting business from the state-owned factory, but that they were jealous of my status as a communications officer."
Yang's mother's expression changed.
She immediately changed her tune, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do I have to be jealous of? You didn't even finish elementary school, while my daughter-in-law and son both graduated from high school. What do you have that I would be jealous of?"
Qiao Wanyue did not fall into her linguistic trap. She smiled and looked at the people below the stage, "The commune's order is irrelevant. Even if you want to change people, it's useless. And since you suspect that I would lie, the brigade will not accept your family's dried vegetables in order not to cause you any losses."
She turned to the captain and asked, "Captain, is it okay for me to do this?"
The captain was furious. Only now did he realize that Zhong Qingqing suspected he had been bribed by Qiao Wanyue.
That damned bastard.
