Yuan Fangguo didn't know that his grandmother went to his second uncle's house the next day. It was only during lunch that he heard the widow Li next door crying and making a fuss, and his grandmother's expression was very complicated, which made him understand.
"Yuan Laoer, tell me, how much money did you give to your mother? How much did you give to your heartless mother behind my back?" Widow Li said loudly in tears.
Yuan Chengliang was very embarrassed. He originally thought that he could secretly give some money, but he didn't expect to be discovered by this woman.
"It's just a few dozen dollars. It's not like they won't pay it back. Fang Guo got into college. Hey, keep your voice down."
"Bah, bullshit, tell me to keep my voice down. You must be hiding something. Yuan Fangguo is not your biological son, so why are you so active?" Widow Li's words were more vicious than the last.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Fangguo's face turned pale with anger. He really wanted to rush out and teach this vicious woman a lesson.
Yuan Fangmin was even more angry. If Yuan Fangguo hadn't held him back, he would have rushed out.
"This Widow Li, no wonder all her men died." Yuan Fangmin said angrily.
Qin Mingzhen was in the room, and she was also angry about what Widow Li said.
"Yuan Laoer, why didn't people think of you when you were single? Now that you are married and have some savings, people think of you. Do you still have any self-respect? I was really blind to follow you in the beginning, you damn coward..." After saying this, Widow Li sat down on the ground and started crying and making a fuss.
Soon, the neighbors gathered around and started to watch the fun.
"Grandma, we don't want this money." Yuan Fangguo looked at Qin Mingzhen and said with a firm face.
"Fang Guo, this money is for your tuition. Your aunts and uncles can't afford so much money. Let's just treat it as a fart." Qin Mingzhen was almost crying. "Grandma, you can't bear this grievance."
"Grandma, I absolutely don't want this money. My second uncle feels uncomfortable being caught in the middle, so please don't make things difficult for him. I will find a way to pay for the tuition myself." Yuan Fangguo said with determination.
The third brother Yuan Fangmin also heard it clearly in the room. He agreed with his eldest brother's words that even if a man is poor, he still has ambition.
"Grandma, I think big brother is right. We can't lend this money."
"This?" Qin Mingzhen was a little troubled.
"Grandma, listen to me. Since I was able to get into university, I can naturally earn the tuition. I heard from others that there are a lot of workers in the provincial capital. I thought about it. There are more than ten days left before school starts. I will go to school to work in advance. It doesn't matter if it's a little hard. I will definitely earn the tuition." Yuan Fangguo said with determination.
"Grandma, I believe big brother has this ability." Yuan Fangmin also said quickly.
Finally, as tears fell, Qin Mingzhen nodded.
"I'll return the money to my second uncle," said Yuan Fangguo.
…
When Yuan Fangguo walked into the gate of Yuan Chengliang's yard, many villagers in the village had gathered around. They were talking a lot at first, but when they saw Yuan Fangguo coming, they instantly became silent.
"Second Uncle..." Yuan Fangguo took a deep breath and knocked on Yuan Chengliang's door.
"Who is so shameless as to knock on my door?" Widow Li suddenly burst into curses.
Yuan Fangguo tried his best to control his emotions. To be honest, he really wanted to give Widow Li a good beating, but he couldn't do it.
Yuan Chengliang walked to the door with an embarrassed look on his face, looking at his nephew who was a head taller than him.
"Second uncle, I'm returning the money to you. Thank you for your kindness. I will earn the money for tuition." After saying this, Yuan Fangguo stuffed the plastic bag wrapped in layer upon layer to Yuan Chengliang, then turned and left.
Yuan Chengliang felt even more embarrassed. He closed the gate and couldn't help but glare at the ugly back of Widow Li.
"Look at the Yuan family..." The villagers started talking.
"It's not easy to have a college student in the family, so every possible help is appreciated." said a kind old man.
"If you have the time to worry about other people, you might as well take care of your own children."
…
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Yuan Fangguo just listened to their discussion quietly without saying a word.
…
When he returned home, Yuan Fangguo found that his grandmother was quietly wiping away tears.
"Fang Guo, I'm going out for a while." Qin Mingzhen said quickly.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Yuan Fangguo said hurriedly.
"I'll go to your aunt and uncle's house. When his family was poor, our family helped him a lot. I'm his only nephew. Borrowing money from him won't embarrass an old woman like me, right?" Qin Mingzhen said.
Yuan Fangguo knew about the good things his family had done for his aunt and uncle's family in the past. It was said that his aunt and uncle wanted to join the army, but there were no pants to wear at home, so his grandfather gave his to his aunt and uncle.
But this aunt and uncle live in the county town, and his home is at least ten miles away from the county town.
Yuan Fangguo was a little worried about his grandmother and the old woman with bound feet going alone, so he decided to go with her.
This time Qin Mingzhen did not object.
"Grandma, I'll go borrow a bicycle." Yuan Fangguo said after thinking for a while.
"Where can I borrow it?" Qin Mingzhen asked hurriedly.
"It's the Erzhu family." Yuan Fangguo said as he walked towards the Erzhu family.
