The three children behind Ningxia all had red eyes, and Dong Aijun was supported by Dong Aiguo.
At this time, Dong Aiguo's body was covered with scars, and his already worn clothes had several holes in them.
There was a bloody mark on his face from somewhere.
It turned out that Zheng Peilin was sitting in the office. After thinking about it, she felt that the group of men were not very reliable, so she took the initiative to find Ningxia and took the two children to the countryside.
Who would have thought that he would meet Dong Aiguo who was in a hurry to look for the two siblings on the way.
Ningxia and his team learned more information from Dong Aiguo.
It turned out that his grandmother had agreed to give them some food every month.
The money was first kept by the old lady of the Dong family, but later, when he went to ask for food again, the eldest son of the Dong family not only refused to give it to him, but even arranged for the boys in the family to beat him up.
When the neighbors saw this, the eldest brother of the Dong family put his hands in his sleeves and made a grandiose claim: "This kid saw our eldest brother got a new set of clothes, so he insisted on getting one for the three siblings as well.
Look, please give us some justice. How can we afford so many cloth coupons?
After a while, a dispute arose and the boys started fighting because they were unwilling to do so.
Alas! As an elder, it is not appropriate for me to interfere. "
As he spoke, he pretended to scold his son a few times.
The neighbors were afraid of getting into trouble and could only smile and agree.
Later, Dong Aiguo went to ask Dong Jiale's wife for food. The old lady of the Dong family started scolding him, saying that he had big eyes but a small stomach. Wasn't it enough after giving him so much food?
After some discussion, Dong Aiguo realized that this group of people wanted to embezzle the money.
He went to the team leader to complain, and the team leader intervened a few times. The eldest brother of the Dong family then arranged for several boys in the family to beat him up a few times.
Later he even threatened his younger brothers and sisters.
Over time, Dong Aiguo no longer asked for food.
My heart was tense and I gritted my teeth, determined to make a name for myself for my younger brothers and sisters with my own abilities.
There is a reason why the saying "young brat is eating me into poverty" comes from afar.
But how could the three of them eat enough? They all looked pale and skinny. Judging from their appearance, you couldn’t tell that they were already in their teens.
Seeing his younger brothers and sisters growing up, Dong Aiguo had no choice but to take a risk and step into the black market on the forest farm.
Later, when Dong Aijun was older, he knew to follow Dong Aiguo and help him with things.
Dong Aihua was responsible for weaving backpacks, steamed bun baskets and vegetable baskets at home.
If someone likes it, I can sell it for a few cents.
When Dong Aiguo said this, he looked indifferent.
But Dong Aihua and Dong Aijun beside him were already in tears.
They only know that life is hard, but they don’t know how much their brother has suffered behind their backs.
Ningxia and Zheng Peilin's hands were shaking with anger. Ningxia held the steering wheel tightly. If the eldest son of the Dong family was standing in front of her, she might have bumped into him without blinking.
As the three children entered the brigade headquarters, the villagers were a little surprised: "Hey, what's wrong with patriotism?
And what happened to Aijun's legs? "
"What else could it be? Maybe he did something dishonorable and got beaten up."
People in the village had mixed opinions about the three Dong siblings. The reason was that Dong Aijun and Dong Aihua were very hungry.
Dong Aijun looked at his sister who was crying loudly, gritted his teeth, ran to someone else's house and stole an egg.
From then on they could no longer get rid of the label of thieves, and the eldest brother of the Dong family ruined their reputation.
Many people stay away from them.
At that time, Dong Aiguo came back from the mountains and learned about this incident. He beat Dong Aijun several times with a willow branch.
He personally took him to apologize to others and made Dong Aijun kneel in front of his parents' tablets for a whole night.
To this day, Dong Aijun still remembers what Dong Aiguo said: "Our father is a hero who stands tall and proud. We can't bring shame to him even if we starve to death."
Little Dong Aihua was so scared that she burst into tears. She didn't understand anything else but that her brother was being beaten.
She hugged her eldest brother’s legs and cried, “You said father was a hero, but why didn’t he protect us?
I would rather not have him be a hero, you want your own father.
This way I won’t go hungry and my brother won’t have to steal.
Our mother will not die early because of overwork."
These words made the three of them burst into tears. It was also that time that prompted Dong Aihua to resolutely step into the black market.
He knew very well that once he took this step, he would no longer have any connection with the army.
After all, there are more or less familiar people in the forest farm. Once they come to ask, it will be a huge stain.
There were also reasonable people in the village who quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Everyone, please stop talking."
Zheng Peilin’s face was cold: “Since you all said so, give some food to the three brothers and sisters of the Dong family every month.
OK, based on the market price, I’ll calculate the price based on the kilograms you gave me.
Then calculate their monthly support payments.”
Zheng Peilin has been a resolute and decisive person since she was young. Seeing that Political Commissar Hao had not solved the problem until now, she glared at him with some disappointment.
Political Commissar Hao touched his nose helplessly and said, "Don't I just want to resolve the matter peacefully?"
When the old lady of the Dong family saw that it was a woman coming over, the corners of her mouth turned down and she rolled her eyes in disdain.
He wanted to use his own unique tricks: crying, making a fuss, and then hanging himself.
But Zheng Peilin would never indulge her, and said directly: "You have a share of the pension, which is as it should be.
But the child support is only for three children, and you can't get away with it if you embezzle it.
Another thing is the incident of the comrade you mentioned beating your son.
If I remember correctly, Comrade Wen, your second brother is a sworn brother in the army.
Just like what this comrade said, isn't it okay for peers to have some fights and quarrels?"
Many years ago, Boss Dong allowed his own children to hit Dong Aiguo's boomerang, which then hit him hard.
After all, many people in the village heard these words.
For a moment, Boss Dong was in a state of panic and opened his mouth to say something, but Zheng Peilin spoke before him: "But Comrade Wen was also at fault, so I will pay the medical expenses to the two comrades later.
Now let's calculate the issue of maintenance money. According to the regulations of the army, the maintenance money for the families of martyrs is 30 yuan per month.
The pension for company-level and platoon-level cadres is 550 yuan.
Where did all the money go? Captain, please ask the team's accountant to come over."
Zheng Peilin pulled up a bench and sat there with a dagger, which was totally inconsistent with her usual image.
