"If she really felt the pain, she wouldn't have been sent to the countryside. Even if she did, she would have received packages from her family like other educated youth, right? Chen Zhiqing has been here for so many years, and all she has is the gifts she has sent out, not the gifts she has received back."
"Then isn't that all fake?"
"I guess they came to our brigade to collect Chen Zhiqing's betrothal gift. I haven't seen them here in the past few years."
Everyone looked at Old Lady Xia and her husband with contempt. They cared about their daughter who was about to get married, but it was all for that little bit of money.
He is a worker himself, but he still covets his daughter's wages. How shameless.
Old Mrs. Xia felt a little guilty. In her previous life, she was the kind of person who was indifferent to her daughter. However, she had never thought about asking Xiang Hong for a betrothal gift in her previous life. After all, their family really did not lack 50 yuan.
If the accident had not happened, Xiang Hong would have received 200 yuan as a deposit from them.
However, the money was not given to Xiang Hong until her death.
Aunt Li Wu hated it most when people belittled her son, so she started cursing at them again.
The team leader shouted for silence, "Chen Zhiqing, you said you didn't receive the betrothal gift from Li Zhuang?"
Chen Xianghong: "Yes, I haven't taken it."
Li Zhuangchao shouted, "I clearly gave it to you. You often send things to your parents. Did you send the money to them?"
Chen Xianghong's eyes were red after being wrongly accused. "I didn't do that. The money I sent to my parents was distributed by the village, and every payment was recorded. The educated youth I lived with can testify to this. Apart from the food distributed by the village and the wild vegetables I picked from the mountains, I never spent any other money."
Old Lady Xia's heart ached. Her daughter Xiang Hong was reluctant to eat or wear anything, and gave all her good things to them. How thin she had become!
Damn Li Zhuang, he actually wanted to frame her.
The captain was basically certain that there must be something wrong with Li Zhuang. However, such a thing happened in the team, which would affect their reputation, so the captain had to smooth things over and said:
"The people at the Youth Institute will definitely be biased towards Chen Zhiqing. It would be unfair to ask them to testify. Anyway, Chen Zhiqing and Li Zhuang's relationship is almost settled, so why not just let it go? The betrothal gift will be spent on both of them in the end~"
Li Zhuang agreed, "That's right, we're all family now anyway. It doesn't matter if Chen Zhiqing said he didn't receive it."
Old Lady Xia: "If it's given, it's given. If it's not given, it's not given. If the team leader insists on saying so, I'll go to the commune and find someone who can make the decision!"
Seeing the captain's fierce look, as if he wanted to harm them, she shouted again, "I'm from the textile factory. I got a certificate when I came here. If the captain doesn't want to let us go, someone will come to find me. You better think about it."
Captain: ...I'm not...I didn't...
