Chapter 166: Food Distribution Farce (Part 3)
After what happened with Widow Li, the subsequent distribution of grain went smoothly. After all, there were relatively few people like Widow Li.
Not long after, I heard Accountant Zhang shout, "Liu Pingjiang, 2,782 centimeters."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but they felt relieved when they thought that Liu Pingjiang and his wife worked very hard and got full work points.
The second sister was excited after hearing what Accountant Zhang said. She hurriedly urged Liu Pingjiang, who was still standing there in a daze, "Dad, Accountant Zhang asked you to go upstairs to get the food. Go quickly."
Hearing his daughter's urging, he finally reacted and hurried forward.
But something unexpected happened. Before the second sister's father could reach Accountant Zhang, Granny Liu ran directly to Accountant Zhang and said, "I'll come to get the food."
Accountant Zhang was very unhappy to see her like this, and felt that she was not cooperating with his work, so he said in a very unfriendly tone: "Mrs. Liu, it is Liu Pingjiang's family who is collecting food now, and it is not your family's turn yet."
"I know that we are now called their family, but it has only been half a year since I separated from them. In the first half of the year, they ate and lived in my house, so the work points they earned in the first half of the year should belong to our family."
Everyone looked down on Liu Pozi when they heard her words. Don't think they don't know what kind of life Liu Pingjiang's family lived before they separated. They got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, ate worse than pigs, and worked harder than cows.
Mrs. Liu now had the nerve to come out and ask for work points and food. They all felt ashamed for her.
After hearing this, Accountant Zhang looked at the captain. He only knew that Liu Shugen's family was divided, but he didn't know the details of how it was divided.
The captain nodded to Accountant Zhang to indicate that he would handle the matter. Then he glanced at Granny Liu and said to Liu Pingjiang who was standing there in a daze: "Pingjiang, how do you think the grain should be divided?"
After hearing the captain's words, Liu Pingjiang looked at his mother and the whole family behind her, then lowered his head.
When people saw him like this, on the one hand they thought he was filial, but on the other hand they also thought he was a coward, as everything was controlled by his mother. No wonder his whole family was bullied.
The captain was so disappointed to see him like this that he was about to speak when Liu Pingjiang raised his head, stared at Granny Liu with red eyes and said, "Mom, this is the last time I will honor you. I know you have never liked me, so I have worked very hard since I was a child, and never fought for anything, always giving in to my older brother.
I don’t expect you to like me, I just hope you won’t hate me so much anymore. I’ll be satisfied if you could smile at me.
But from the moment we separated, I knew that this would never happen in my lifetime. Now I don’t dare to think about it anymore. Now I just want to work hard to support my family. I can’t let my wife and children starve to death.”
After hearing what Liu Pingjiang said, many women wiped their eyes and looked at Liu Pozi's family with contempt. Now they not only felt that Liu Pozi's family was not worthy of being relatives, but also felt that Liu Pozi's family was a den of dragons and tigers. If they went in, they would probably lose their lives. It was better for them to stay away from Liu Pozi's family.
The second sister's mother and sister both started crying after hearing what her father said, but I didn't go to comfort her because I knew she was not crying because she was sad, but because she was so happy.
She cried for joy that her father had awakened, cried for joy that her father was no longer a coward, and cried for joy that her father said his last words.
