Chapter 119 A chaotic morning
When Dazhu heard this, his face turned red like a shy girl.
The captain looked at the cloth in Dazhu's hand, his eyes full of envy. Such a big piece of cloth was simply a treasure.
He was moved that Haitang was so generous. But more than that, he was relieved that Haitang had not forgotten the people who had helped her in the brigade just because she had come to the city.
Aunt Cai's family is really good to Haitang. Now that Haitang can show such kindness, it can be regarded as a true return of their love.
Jiang Haitang took out a few multi-grain flour pancakes from her bag, which were still warm.
"I made this myself. You can eat it on the way." She said softly, her eyes full of concern.
A tractor is not as big as a car, and it would take almost a day to go back. She guessed that several people were reluctant to buy food, so they would inevitably go hungry on the way.
Jiang Haitang left only after the captain expressed his sincere gratitude.
As soon as Jiang Haitang left, Li Shengli rushed over with a dark face.
The captain was quite surprised when he saw Li Shengli.
Yesterday, this kid didn't even say a polite word, so why did he come here so early today?
"Captain, I came to you with some questions that I would like to have answered."
Li Shengli spoke in a very stiff tone, with his chin raised high, as if he was about to accuse someone.
The captain frowned and became serious: "Ask."
When Dazhu and Changsheng saw this, they knew that Li Shengli was here to cause trouble, and immediately stood behind the captain.
"Captain, my mother said that our family didn't get any food this year and has run out of food. What's going on?"
"As the team leader, how can you watch the members of your team go without food?"
Li Shengli's voice rose, attracting the attention of guests from several surrounding rooms.
The team leader was shocked by Li Shengli's shameless words. The other people, even the tractor driver, looked at Li Shengli in shock.
I thought everyone in the Qingshuigou Brigade was like Jiang Haitang's girl, how come there are people who turn the tables?
"You also said that I am the team leader." The team leader retorted unhappily and took out his pipe from his waist.
Li Shengli didn't understand and looked at the captain in confusion.
"Supporting your mother is your responsibility, not mine as the team leader. What? Your family members don't work, and you blame me, the team leader?"
"Our family's situation is not special..." Li Shengli defended himself with his neck stiff.
His words were interrupted by Zhao Zhijian, who angrily pointed at Li Shengli's nose and started cursing.
"Just shut up! Why is your family so special? There are families in the brigade who are more special than yours. Why don't you see others in the same situation as yours? Your mother is disabled and stays at home enjoying her leisure time, and your brothers and sisters don't work hard. Why do they deserve more food?"
"You also said that my mother is disabled...and my brothers and sisters are still young." Li Shengli immediately defended himself.
"Your legs are disabled. You can't work in the fields, and you can't even do a little housework at home. How many years has Grandma Wang from the brigade been disabled? She still cooks and sews for the family every day. Where's your mother?"
"Li Shengjie is sixteen years old this year, right? How many boys of his age don't work in the fields? Jiang Haitang was already working in the fields like a man at the age of sixteen to support the family."
Despite the scolding, Li Shengli did not wake up.
"Let's not talk about this, Captain. Why should Jiang Haitang's work points be distributed separately? Why not keep them in our house?" Greed flashed in Li Shengli's eyes.
There was so much food, several hundred kilograms at most, why did they give it all to Jiang Haitang? Li Shengli felt distressed.
"The girl worked hard to earn it, why should she be given to your family? Are you so shameless?" The captain was so angry that his pipe was shaking.
"Then isn't she a member of our family?" Li Shengli was still quibbling.
"Someone from your family? Pah!" The captain finally couldn't help cursing. "When your factory director went to investigate, your mother insisted that Jiang Haitang was not your wife, and your sister insisted that Jiang Haitang was your family's servant. So what? Your family is a wealthy landlord? You still have servants?"
"A whole family of lazy bums, lying on Jiang Haitang's body and sucking her blood. And you, pretending to be dead, hiding in the city without supporting your family, relying on a little girl. How dare you do that?"
Li Shengli was speechless, but he was still struggling: "She eats and lives in our house, shouldn't the work points be in our house?"
"What? Your family hired a servant to serve your mother and your brothers and sisters, and not only don't you pay them, you also want them to earn money to support you?"
The captain knocked the pipe in his hand hard on the table next to him.
Dazhu hurriedly said, "Uncle, you can't do this. If it breaks, you'll have to pay for it."
The captain hurriedly touched the table and said, "It's okay, everything is fine."
"Ergou, let me give you one more piece of advice: as a human being, you must not lose your conscience!"
After saying that, the captain called on a few people to prepare to set off.
Li Shengli hurriedly stopped the captain again: "Captain, do you want to go back?"
"Why don't we go back? Why don't we live here for free?"
"That's not what I meant. What will happen to my mother if you leave?" Li Shengli stamped his feet anxiously.
"That's your mother, not mine. You can do whatever you want."
After the captain and his men finished speaking, they left without looking back, leaving Li Shengli standing there with a confused look on his face.
This scene happened to be seen by the staff of the guesthouse. Several people gathered together and whispered, and the rumors spread.
The grievances between Li Shengli, the Liang family and Jiang Haitang were brought up again.
But at this time, Li Shengli didn't care about these rumors. His family was in chaos.
When he got married, the factory gave him and Liang Suya a single dormitory of more than 20 square meters, which was quite spacious.
But when Wu Xiuyun, Li Qiulan and Li Qiulan's younger brother came at once, the house of more than 20 square meters was no longer enough, and people were standing close to each other in the room.
Wu Xiuyun used the same trick on Liang Suya that she used on Jiang Haitang. How could Liang Suya agree?
When she got married, Lee Seung-ri was an orphan and had no burden, so she was not prepared to serve the old woman.
Who would have thought that her mother-in-law would suddenly come to her house with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and act like the master and take control of her.
When Li Shengli hurried back from the guesthouse, the family was already in a state of quarrel.
Liang Suya had disheveled hair and was clutching the torn corner of her clothes in her hand. Wu Xiuyun sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying. Li Qiulan was fanning the flames beside her, while Li Qiulan's brother was hiding in the corner, cowering timidly.
"Brother, what kind of person did you marry? She's not filial to our mother at all." Li Qiulan saw Li Shengli and immediately went up to complain, "Mother just said a few words to her this morning, asking her to clean the house and cook for herself, and she talked back to me and even pushed me!"
"Li Shengli, your mother got up early this morning and started yelling at me, complaining about this and that." Liang Suya's face flushed with anger. "I said I was going to the cafeteria to get breakfast, and she called me a spendthrift. I care about others, but I also care about their mistakes? My parents at home can't bear to scold me, so why should I suffer this at your house?"
It turned out that Wu Xiuyun had already thought about it before she came. If she couldn't suppress her daughter-in-law, her life would definitely be difficult in the future.
So as soon as she entered the house, she started to set rules, disliked Liang Suya for not being able to cook, not being able to clean the house, and said that she spent money lavishly and was a spendthrift.
Liang Suya was already unhappy with her mother-in-law's sudden visit, and now she was even more furious. The two of them started arguing with each other.
Li Qiulan added fuel to the fire, saying that Liang Suya was disrespectful to her elders and had no manners.
Liang Suya was so angry that she was about to hit someone, so Wu Xiuyun rolled off the bed, sat on the ground, and started to make a scene.
Li Qiulan said that Liang Suya bullied her mother and tore her apart a few times, which led to the current situation.
"Ergou, if you don't care about your wife, you're forcing your mother to death," Wu Xiuyun cried. "I worked so hard to raise you, and you got a job in the city, but now you've married and forgotten your mother!"
Li Shengli felt a headache when he saw the noise in the house.
He was stuck in the middle, not a human being on either side.
"Mom, the captain and his men have already gone back. How are you going to get back without the tractor?"
Li Shengli said this to change the subject, but he ended up stirring up a hornet's nest.
Wu Xiuyun immediately refused to take it anymore. She cried out in anger, "Oh my God, is there any justice in this world? I worked so hard to raise my son, and after only one night at his house, he wants to kick me out! What's the point of living? I might as well die!"
As she said that, she rushed towards the wall. Li Shengli was quick-witted and hugged her.
"Brother, how could you do this? We just arrived, and you want us to leave?" Li Qiulan was obviously in disbelief. "We didn't plan to go back this time. My brother and sister-in-law are both city people. Why should we go back to the countryside? We also want to enjoy life in the city!"
Liang Suya's face changed immediately. It turned out that this was the whole family's idea.
She sneered, "Enjoying a good life? You're just like that, you come here and think you're the boss? This house was allocated to Shengli and me by the factory, why are you still hanging around?"
"You...you bitch!" Wu Xiuyun broke free from Li Shengli and pointed at Liang Suya, cursing, "My son is so unlucky to marry you!"
"I thought I was unlucky! I only found out after I got married that your son had such a big family of vampires!" Liang Suya was not to be outdone.
Li Shengli felt his head buzzing, but now that things had come to this, how should he end it?
It’s all Jiang Haitang’s fault. If Jiang Haitang was still living peacefully in the countryside, wouldn’t there be so many problems?
Come to think of it, Jiang Haitang also grew up with his mother. There's nothing wrong with letting Jiang Haitang serve him, right?
Besides, Jiang Haitang lives alone in such a big house, so it would be more convenient for her mother and younger brothers and sisters to live there than to stay here.
