The courtyard was unusually lively tonight.
After watching tonight's episode, everyone felt sorry for Jiang Nian, and as for Bu Ling, they were envious. He got a hundred yuan just by talking.
This made some of them restless, such as Han Weiguo's family.
But before they could figure out how to stage an accident with Aunt Shen and her daughter, news came out that Jiang Nian had applied for a transfer to the most difficult place in Northeast China.
When Bu Ling first heard the news, she had a feeling that she knew it was true. She said that Jiang Nian's condition seemed a bit off that day. Everyone else was shocked when they heard the news, and after the shock came reluctance.
Especially Aunt Shen, when she heard the news, she was almost driven mad. She immediately ran to Jiang Nian's room and cried and cursed loudly.
But Jiang Nian just stood there watching her go crazy, unmoved by anything she said. In the end, he only said, "Mom, consider the four hundred and eighty yuan I gave you in advance as your retirement money. From now on, you can live alone with your sister. Just pretend you never had a son like me."
After saying this, Aunt Shen was stunned for a moment, and then she launched into another tirade of curses. But this time, Jiang Nian didn't say anything more.
Exhausted from her tirade, Aunt Shen realized that her eldest son's family looked at her with eyes full of disgust and hatred. Her heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to say something to ease the tension, she heard Jiang Shitou say:
"Dad, are we really leaving?"
Jiang Nian softened her tone: "Yes, we're going to live in a place where there's no grandma, no aunt? Is Shitou happy?"
Jiang Shitou's face lit up with a happy smile: "Happy!"
His younger brother, Jiang Mutou, echoed, "Happy!"
Jiang Nian rubbed his two sons' heads: "At that time, it will only be the four of us."
"Great!" the two children cheered.
However, Jiang Shitou quickly asked again, "Dad, does that mean I won't be able to see Congcong and the others either? And what about Sister Buling?"
“You can write to them,” Jiang Nian said patiently as he packed his things, answering his son’s question.
"Oh right, I can also write them letters." Children don't usually feel the pain of parting as deeply, and they are easily comforted.
He packed up the last bundle, looked around the house where he had grown up, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any good memories here.
From his teenage years, his mother instructed him to protect his younger sister. If his sister cried, he would be scolded. Whenever there was something good to eat, his mother would always give it to his sister first. It was as if he was born to sacrifice for his sister.
As he was about to leave, he felt no reluctance, only a sense of relief. He looked at his wife, who was silently by his side, and said, "Let's start over."
Yang Pingping nodded: "Okay, let's start over as a family of four."
The Jiang family left quietly, without asking anyone to see them off. The four of them, carrying their bags and filled with anticipation for a new life, embarked on their journey to an unknown destination.
When Bu Ling found out, she felt a little sorry that such a useful child laborer was gone. But it was good that he was gone, because she had seen Aunt Shen manipulate Jiang Shitou more than once.
What about being filial to one's aunt when one grows up, and how the aunt only went to the countryside for their sake? Now that Jiang Shitou is gone, he can escape this kind of mental pressure, which is a good thing for him.
It's a bit of a shame that we couldn't say goodbye properly, and we don't know if we'll ever see each other again. She was planning to give him her treasured comic book as a parting gift, but now she'll have to keep it for herself.
Jiang Nian is gone, but life in the compound continues. However, the neighbors look down on Aunt Shen and her daughter even less. They used to not like to play with her, and now they don't even want to talk to them.
Not long after Jiang Nian left, the street office and the educated youth office came to Shen Dama's house together.
Bu Ling only found out after joining in the fun that someone had reported Jiang Hua, saying that she was an educated youth who had stayed in the city for a long time.
Sure enough, the educated youth office and the street office came to her door. The extension of the educated youth's stay was a big deal. If there was a legitimate reason, she could explain it, such as being lame or paralyzed. But Jiang Hua obviously didn't have one. In addition, the educated youth office came to her door so suddenly that she didn't even have time to pretend.
Now look what's happened; he's been caught red-handed and is about to be forcibly sent back to the countryside.
Jiang Hua, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. She broke free and ran next door to beg Han Weiguo...
Han Weiguo was already overwhelmed with his own problems, so he had no energy to take care of others, let alone with Ling Wei standing by. He rejected her without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, Aunt Shen wasn't idle either. She approached her only remaining son, Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng was a hopeless romantic. After being coaxed by Widow Liu, he was so happy that he forgot all about Aunt Shen.
In the end, Jiang Hua was forcibly sent to the countryside. Because she refused to cooperate, a note was made in her file. Her life after going to the countryside was already predictable, not to mention that her former mother-in-law's family was waiting for her.
Aunt Shen was very anxious, but her son couldn't help her, and she was disliked by others and had no good friends. Besides stomping her feet in frustration, she really didn't know what to do.
Here, Jiang Hua's matter has come to an end, and it's estimated that she's completely unable to cause any trouble now.
Has the courtyard returned to calm?
No! Jiang Hua is gone, but Han Weiguo, the male lead, is still here.
As we all know, the reason why the male lead is called the male lead is because he had a miserable past and his parents were both terrible. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to call himself the male lead.
