054 Four Thousand Yuan
The soybeans were scattered all over the ground.
Mrs. Zhong screamed and stood up, jumping up and down, "Xiao He, what are you doing?"
"What do I do?"
Gao Qinghe sneered and kicked the stool under his butt away.
Zhong's face turned pale, and it was unclear whether she was panicked or shocked.
Is this still the Gao Qinghe who used to call her Aunt Yunxiu sweetly every time he saw her?
Of course not!
Gao Qinghe pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "Zhong Yunxiu, who do you think you are? How dare you make up stories about your ancestors?"
Zhong stared: "You..."
"What are you talking about! You know that I found a boyfriend who is nice to me, handsome, and rich instead of your son, and you are so unhappy about it?"
Zhong's face twitched with anger as her thoughts were exposed.
Gao Qinghe was afraid that she would get so angry that she would blackmail him, so he patted his clothes and said, "Forget it. A woman like me who is beautiful, smart, funny and humorous, which man would not want to be attracted to me?"
"I don't blame you. After all, unless I'm blind, your son will never be able to find a high-quality human woman like me in his lifetime!"
After saying this, Zhong Yunxiu covered her chest, trembling all over, and gritted her teeth and said fiercely:
"My son will definitely find a girl who is a hundred times better than you!"
Gao Qinghe sneered contemptuously, shook her high ponytail, showing her perfect beautiful face, twisted her hips, and walked away with her long legs.
She clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed as if she had said everything, and her words were very dirty.
Zhong Yunxiu clutched her collar tightly, and when she opened her mouth to speak, she was so angry that she couldn't say anything, and her heart ached.
When Zhou Zhenghua's sister-in-law Guihua came back from the fields, she saw her mother-in-law leaning against the door, her face pale, and she screamed in fear, "Mom!"
The sound was so shrill that those who didn't know would think something had happened to Zhong Yunxiu.
Gao Qinghe would listen to the commotion coming from the neighbor's house and eat half an extra bowl of dinner.
Huang Ying and Old Lady Tian asked curiously, "What happened to the Zhou family?"
Gao Qinghe shrugged, "Who knows."
Look how kind-hearted she is. She didn't even tell her family about the bullying she suffered.
Otherwise, not to mention her mother, there is just her grandmother's protective and violent temper.
He would definitely rush into the Zhou family and overturn all the ancestral tablets!
However, Gao Qinghe didn't say anything. Soon, Old Lady Tian heard the clue from the indirect criticism coming from Zhong Yunxiu next door.
After Zhong Yunxiu returned home, she became angrier and angrier. Why could a woman her son disliked find a rich coal boss?
As soon as the angina pain eased, he drank a bowl of water and immediately stood at the wall near Gao's house, talking in a sarcastic tone.
But the only thing she could talk about over and over again was that Old Mrs. Tian remarried.
Since she couldn't scold the younger one, she scolded the older one.
Gao Qinghe looked at the two handsome portraits of her late husband hanging above her grandmother's bed.
Then he looked at his grandmother who had taken out the whetstone and was sharpening the knife.
Old Mrs. Tian’s full name is Tian Xiaoqiao. She was born in 1931. Her family was poor when she was young. In order to make a living, she worked as a maid in a rich man’s house at the age of ten.
What I hate most in my life is the evil rich people who exploit the poor people.
In Shanghe Village, Tian Xiaoqiao was the first to respond to the call and actively fight against feudalism.
While other villagers were still accepting arranged marriages by their parents, she had already fallen in love with Comrade Huang and started her own new family.
After Comrade Lao Huang passed away, other widows were still hesitating whether to raise their children alone for the rest of their lives for the sake of the so-called "loyalty".
Tian Xiaoqiao took the initiative to find the women's representative of the brigade and applied to start a family with the widower of the Zheng family who was taking care of the child, and raise the child together.
Some people point fingers and look down on this behavior, while others empathize and understand it.
Zhong Yunxiu is obviously the former.
Her husband died in an accident when he was less than 30 years old. Zhong Yunxiu, who was only 28 years old at the time, vowed to remain faithful to her deceased husband for the rest of her life.
For the next twenty years, he raised the three sons of the Zhou family with great difficulty.
Zhong Yunxiu often talks about the hardships she suffered in the past, and she tells them to everyone who comes.
But if someone praised her or expressed deep sympathy, she would feel wronged and say that her life was too hard.
Morally, Zhong Yunxiu always felt that she was inferior to Gao Tian Xiaoqiao and the widows in the village who had remarried.
If there were some things that couldn't be said now, she would have talked about their backgrounds.
In Zhong's heart, she always felt that Old Mrs. Tian should not be equal to herself.
However, before Zhou Zhenghua graduated, she had been enduring and suppressing herself.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly broke out today.
When Old Mrs. Tian first heard her words, she was a little bit unbelieving.
But three seconds later, the sound of sharpening a knife was heard in the yard.
When Gao Qinghe was struggling over whether to stop him or not, Zhou Zhenghua seemed to have returned home.
The Zhou family suddenly quieted down.
Old Mrs. Tian threw the knife away with a clang, walked into the room without saying a word, took down the portraits of her two ex-husbands, and wiped the dust off them with a handkerchief.
Others use photos taken closest to the time of death as portraits.
What Old Mrs. Tian left behind was their most beautiful appearance when they were young.
At this moment, looking at her grandmother's nostalgic expression, Gao Qinghe was sure that she loved both men deeply.
Huang Ying winked at her daughter, asking her to come out and not disturb her grandmother.
Gao Qinghe nodded, quietly left his grandmother's room, and closed the door behind him.
Everyone acted as if nothing had happened and went about their own business.
It was time for the part Gao Qingmiao was most looking forward to.
The brother and sister took out their account books and wallets and settled the bills.
The total cash I currently have, including principal and interest, is 4,423 yuan.
Gao Qinghe had a rough idea of the number in mind, so he wasn't surprised by the result.
Gao Qingmiao was stunned. An intense joy surged up in his head and he could only grin.
Excluding the cost of 900 yuan, I made 3,523 yuan in half a month.
Gao Qingmiao finally found his voice from his ecstasy, and grabbed his sister's sleeve and said:
"Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle..."
Gao Qinghe was amused and angry, and took out the change of 423 separately.
"Don't touch the remaining four thousand for now. Take a break tomorrow and go into the city to buy train tickets. The day after tomorrow I'll accompany you to the provincial capital."
Gao Qinghe put the four thousand yuan in his pocket, waved goodbye, and everyone went back to their rooms.
She hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, and she really wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally tomorrow, but money waits for no one.
Just bear with it, just bear with it. Gao Qinghe consoled himself with this in his heart, and fell into a deep sleep with the fresh and warm 4,000 yuan as his pillow.
The next morning, Gao Qinghe was woken up by the excited Gao Qingmiao knocking on the door.
The young man was obsessed with bicycles and had been thinking all night about what brand and style to buy.
Gao Qinghe couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.
This was her first time entering the county department store after her rebirth.
Gao Qingmiao woke everyone up early, and when the siblings arrived at the county town, the department store had just opened.
There were few customers in the store and the salesperson was putting new merchandise on the counter.
Qingxian Department Store has eight bays, which are divided into several separate counters according to different categories.
Gao Qinghe remembered that after the millennium, this place was bought by a Hong Kong businessman and turned into the county's first comprehensive e-commerce mall.
At its peak, the monthly rent for a display cabinet there was over ten thousand yuan.
Of course, it is still a state-owned enterprise, and the products are not as complete as they will be in ten years. The sales staff still have stable jobs and have a low sense of proactive service.
