Chapter 71 His Diary
Han Jiaojiao stood up and asked her to sit down. Du Ling quickly pressed her down and said, "I'm fine. The girl at the front desk has already bought me some food. You guys eat yours."
"I went out early today and forgot about you. I will bring you one tomorrow."
"No need. How old are you two? You both look quite young to me."
"I am nineteen, Junshan is twenty-five."
"Twenty-five...a good age to start a career. What about your parents?"
"Died in a car accident."
Du Ling's face froze, and Han Jiaojiao quickly said, "Auntie, don't take it to heart. We know you didn't mean it."
Shen Junshan: "I don't care, you don't have to worry about it."
Du Lingruo looked at him thoughtfully, and smiled strangely.
Han Jiaojiao didn't understand what she meant at this time, she just felt that Du Ling was a little weird.
Maybe the elders like the younger ones.
As long as it's not annoying.
Han Jiaojiao chatted with her for a while, and then there was a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
Shen Junshan frowned irritably: "I'm so annoyed. You come to lobby again."
"Who is it? Village cadres?" Han Jiaojiao said.
Shen Junshan nodded.
My third uncle must have gone to take care of things early in the morning. If the village cadres find out, they will definitely come over to persuade us.
Shen Junshan had expected this, but he didn't expect them to come so early.
It's really annoying to come and disturb people's meal before seven o'clock.
Han Jiaojiao stood up and prepared to deal with them, but was stopped by Du Ling: "You guys sit here and eat slowly, I'll go deal with them."
"this…"
"Sit down and eat."
Du Ling limped to the gate with a crutch. After a while, the noisy sounds in front were no longer heard.
The two of them spent the day in silence.
Early the next morning, Han Jiaojiao changed his medicine and helped him get into the car to Shen's house after he took antibiotics.
The Shen family's yard was already crowded with people.
Shen Damai hadn't slept well for two days. He seemed to have aged a lot, and his beard had turned white.
The rest of the kids were not much better, especially Shen Fugui. The look in his eyes when he looked at Han Jiaojiao was as if he had seen a ghost.
Han Jiaojiao helped Shen Junshan get out of the car. When they entered the yard, they looked around but didn't see the iron pot.
There's none in the yard, so that means it was taken from the kitchen.
As long as she guarded the kitchen, nothing would happen. Han Jiaojiao made up her mind and went to block the kitchen in a while.
When the village chief saw him, he quickly asked a middle-aged man to come in.
"Junshan, this is my daughter's fault, please don't take it personally, or else you can stab me twice to vent your anger?"
"Captain Hai, I'm here today to take care of my family matters. We'll talk about the rest later."
Hai Ting nodded and bowed, followed Shen Junshan, and helped him in to sit next to his third uncle.
The third uncle said, "I called all the old and young masters here to notarize the separation of Junshan's family. I asked the fourth branch to take out Junshan's old household registration, and after canceling it, the village chief will hand in the materials, and it will be done."
Shen Damai frowned and said, "Old Sun, if you say so, then we can divide it. Do you have the final say, or does he?"
Sun Youmin was not afraid of him: "If it rains, my mother will get married. If Junshan wants to split up the family, you can't stop it! You people in the fourth room should be more honest. This good child will not make trouble for splitting up the family."
The first wife Shen Daqing and the second wife Shen Dahai were both there. The third wife was out on business and was not in the village, so his wife came with their two sons.
Everyone in the room agreed with what my third uncle said.
Especially Qin Lianhua, the daughter-in-law of the third room.
She was a straightforward person and started to scold immediately: "We watched Junshan grow up. He is such a good child. If you were not worthless, he would not be able to split the family!"
Shen Fugui was unhappy: "Aunt, I don't like what you said. You are talking nonsense when it has nothing to do with your family!"
"Don't talk to me, you second idiot. Junshan's last name is Shen. I can't get any benefits from him being in the Shen family, but I can still feel proud. How can I expect him to share? It's because you are too irritating. What the hell!"
"Bullshit! It's because he married this stupid wife that he wants to split up the family!"
Shen Fugui wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Shen Changming.
Han Jiaojiao rescued the baby just two days ago, and the news has already spread throughout the village.
If you call someone a fool at this time, you will only get criticized.
Shen Changming said: "Junshan, life in the countryside is hard, and everyone is living a tight life. Even if you are wronged, we are still a family, can't you bear it?"
Han Jiaojiao sneered: "Is the end of the responsibility to be stabbed?"
Hai Ting lowered his head and moved to the side timidly.
Shen Damai said coldly: "Is your man dead? Is it your turn to speak in Xiao Lao San's family?"
Shen Junshan held Han Jiaojiao's hand and looked at Shen Damai seriously.
"Jiaojiao is my wife, we are one family, so let's not talk about our differences."
"Hehe, your family, have you changed your surname again? This time it's going to be Han, right?"
Shen Damai suddenly turned fierce: "You only know that we used your money and brought you and Haifang together without telling you. Why don't you remember what happened in the past? Have you forgotten all those favors?"
Shen Junshan had long expected that they would use the favor as an excuse.
He took out a small box calmly. He found it at the bottom of the desk when he was sleeping at his fourth uncle's house two days ago, so he tidied it up and took it out.
Open the box and there are small notebooks inside.
They are all made by piecing together paper that I picked up and then stringing them together with sewing thread or grass thread.
The pencil on top is also a lot dimmer and not very clear, so it can only be vaguely seen.
Shen Junshan read: "February 1st. Grandma didn't let me go to school today. She asked me to help Fugui herd sheep. When I came back, everyone in the family was resting. I was so hungry. Fortunately, Fourth Aunt left me half a steamed bun."
"On February 3rd, I woke up in the morning and found my cotton coat gone. Second Aunt said that I was old and had thick skin and could not withstand the cold, and I could not compare to Jinbao who was weak and sickly. But I still had to go to the team to help Fugui herd sheep, so I had to wrap myself in a bed sheet."
"On February 11, it was raining, very heavily, and the house was leaking. I went to my parents' house but was kicked out and scolded by my second aunt. My grandfather told me to kneel on the washboard and reflect on myself. I didn't know what I should reflect on because that was the house my parents left behind. Why should I be punished when I go home?"
"It's February 15th, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I hate the Chinese New Year the most because there are a lot of sheets and quilts to wash. Although my fourth aunt is helping me, the water is too cold and my hands are cracked again."
"On February 21st, I had a fever and felt dizzy. I hadn't collected firewood yet, so I couldn't rest."
"School is about to start on February 25th, but I can't find my household registration booklet or my student ID card. How can I register..."
"February 28th..."
Han Jiaojiao sniffed: "Junshan, stop reading, let's stop reading..."
Han Jiaojiao interrupted him, took the diary from his hand, closed it, and hugged him with her hands holding his face in her hands.
She didn't want to hear any more of this, it was too frustrating and too bitter.
The whole yard was silent, no one said a word.
