Chapter 69: Son-in-law and the birth of a son
Song Rui went home to pick up and deliver the goods, and received 27,000 yuan.
Together with the more than 80,000 yuan in hand, it is enough to buy a house.
After Xiaoru returned home, Song Rui took out the account book and recorded her income.
Compared with Ling Ye's income, it is still a little less.
But she felt that sooner or later she would surpass him.
He always feels that women should stay at home to take care of children.
The setting sun was as blazing as fire. Song Rui picked up some firewood and started to cook dinner.
Ling Ye seemed to have received a letter. The meal was ready and he came back.
Song Rui was anxious to know what was happening at the Wang family. When she saw it was him coming into the yard, she hurried over to greet him.
When she looked up, she vaguely saw someone flash by the wall next to her.
When I looked more closely, there was not a single hair left.
Song Rui thought that it was Old Man Wu who was eavesdropping on gossip again, so she ignored him and hurried to meet Ling Ye.
"What happened? What happened?"
No matter how busy she was that day, she was always thinking about it.
What is at stake is a young human life.
Seeing that she was anxious, Ling Ye didn't want to keep her in suspense and nodded at her.
"It has been confirmed. Wang Jianchang did indeed return home last month with his seriously ill wife and child."
Wang Jianchang's hometown is Houmiao Village on the edge of Fengcheng. Ling Ye and the young policeman Xie Kaixuan went there together and soon found out the location.
After all, Hou Miao Village is not big, and every family is related to each other, so everyone knows everything.
Ling Ye gave the old lady at the entrance of the village five dollars and told them everything.
Wang Jianchang was a dull person. He had never been able to say a word even when beaten with a stick since he was a child. In addition, his family was poor, so he had not yet married at his old age.
Later, for some unknown reason, he was introduced to the Zhou family as a son-in-law by a matchmaker.
Zhou Meng is about the same age as him, and is handsome and capable.
But she was the only daughter in the family, and the Zhou family was determined to find a live-in son-in-law, which caused the delay.
Zhou Meng and Wang Jianchang got married soon after they met.
After marriage, they gave birth to a daughter, who took Zhou Meng's surname.
Within two years, the two elders of the Zhou family passed away one after another.
The Zhou family’s house was empty, so Wang Jianchang took his father in.
The two of them never came back.
Until last fall.
In the middle of the night, Wang Jianchang came back pulling a cart.
Lying in the car were his dying wife and terrified daughter, with his father beside them.
Everyone in the village is related.
They couldn't hide the fact that the father and son had returned, so they all went to see them.
Wang Jianchang said that his wife had an incurable disease and could only wait to die, so he brought her back.
The villagers didn't understand and thought he had come back specifically to handle the funeral, and they felt quite sympathetic towards him.
Three days later, his wife died.
After Wang Jianchang asked the village party secretary to issue a death certificate, he found a place to bury the body in the back mountain.
Although cremation is encouraged these days, it is not yet mandatory.
Especially in remote villages, many still follow old traditions.
He buried the body directly, and the villagers did not find it unusual. They went to his house one after another to give him condolences.
Wang Jianchang accepted all the orders.
A few days after the burial, he returned to the village with his daughter and father.
At that time, there were some scoundrels in the village who talked nonsense and said that Wang Jianchang had a good life.
Don't think that he is a son-in-law and his wife has died.
But now he has transformed himself and become a city dweller.
He is not too old, so there is no problem for him to marry a new wife and have a son with his surname.
Although the villagers all thought that the second-rate guy spoke rudely.
But if you think about it, it is indeed the case.
"We came back after we got all the information. We don't need to worry about the rest. Officer Ye has already led people to arrest the person."
"That's good. That's good."
Song Rui patted her chest, luckily she guessed right.
But he was missing the little girl named Shengjun. After dinner, just as he suggested going to see her, Ling Ye's pager rang.
"It's Officer Ye. I'll call him back."
Song Rui stood up hurriedly and said, "Wait for me, I'll go too."
She put on coats for herself and Nan Nan, and followed Ling Ye out the door.
At the same time, keep in mind that you must install the phone as soon as possible.
Otherwise it would be too inconvenient.
When we arrived at Aunt Jiang's shop, Song Hua had just returned.
Song Rui handed Nan Nan to her and leaned against the phone, listening to Ling Ye's call back.
Ling Ye answered the phone, but his eyes fell on Song Rui.
After a few hums, he hung up the phone and said to Song Rui: "We've caught the man. Officer Ye asked us to go to the police station as witnesses. If you're afraid, you don't have to go. I'll do it myself..."
"Go, I'm not afraid, I'm very brave."
After Song Rui finished speaking, she turned around and went to the street to hail a car.
Ling Ye followed behind and joked: "I forgot who made my arms sweat."
Song Rui turned around and glared at him, then continued to stop a car.
In the police station, Shengjun was sitting alone on a stool wearing a police coat.
Seeing Song Rui coming in, Shengjun stood up, ran a few steps, and bumped into Song Rui's arms.
"Auntie, thank you for avenging my mother."
After he finished speaking, Shengjun's little face was also covered with tears.
Song Rui felt sad and squatted down to wipe her tears. "No need to thank me, Auntie. The police arrested her."
Zhou Shengjun continued with a stern face: "Auntie, I understand everything. You can buy the house at a low price and not care about anything. That way, when they take me away, no one will know about my family's affairs anymore."
"My mother once told me that if a person can give up her own interests to help others, then she is a good person."
"Auntie, you are a good person."
Song Rui was suddenly given the nice guy card, but she didn't feel happy at all.
The Zhou Shengjun in front of me is so sensible, even a little precocious.
But because of this, everything that happened made it easier for her to be overwhelmed.
Experiencing this kind of thing will leave a shadow that will never be erased in your lifetime.
From Zhou Shengjun's story, Song Rui pieced together the other half of the story.
It turned out that ever since the Zhou family's two elders passed away and Wang Jianchang's father moved in, this home had ceased to be peaceful.
Wang Jianchang listened to his father and hoped that Zhou Meng could give birth to another son with his surname Wang.
Zhou Meng didn't want to.
Besides the fact that she felt one daughter was enough, it was also because of family planning.
The factory's performance was already poor, and rumors of layoffs were circulating again and again.
If she violates the rules and gives birth to a second child at this time, she will probably be fired directly.
She told this to Wang Jianchang and Old Man Wang, but Old Man Wang suggested that they simply sell the house and return to the village.
The village doesn't check strictly, so the worst that can happen is you just have to pay a fine.
With the money from selling the house, there is no need to worry about not being able to pay.
It would be a good idea to go back and farm and do odd jobs to raise two children.
What he said was a good thing, but to Zhou Meng, who was born and raised in Fengcheng, it seemed like a joke.
She gave up her job as a good employee and followed Wang Jianchang back to the countryside to farm?
Her daughter doesn’t have the good educational resources in the city and goes to study in the village?
Just to give birth to a boy, do they treat them as human beings?
What's more, Wang Jianchang is a son-in-law who lives with the wife's family. Why should she give birth to a son for him?
All the good things were taken by the Wang family.
Zhou Meng was unwilling and even kicked Wang Jianchang out of the room, forcing him to sleep in the same room with his father.
On countless dark nights, the father and son tossed and turned, filled with thousands of resentments and tens of thousands of unwillingness.
Until Zhou Meng suddenly developed pneumonia due to continuous work and being caught in the autumn rain.
