"You'll be quitting your job in a few months, so just bear with it for now."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, Sun Xiu hesitated and said, "Xiaomei, the murderer has been caught. What will Hu Xifeng's divorced wife say to his two children?"
Li Mei couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned this. "Hu Xifeng's wife is really a powerful figure. Originally, if they divorced, the child would belong to her, and the murderer's family could refuse to compensate them. But she insisted that even if they divorced, Hu Xifeng was still the father of the child. In the end, there was no choice but for him to agree to compensate them. It wasn't much, only about 200 yuan."
"Anyway, it's better to have it than nothing, and for someone like Hu Xifeng, getting more than 200 is already pretty good."
In Sun Xiu's opinion, if Hu Xifeng could use his death to exchange some compensation for his wife and children who were badly cheated by him, so that their lives could be better, then his death would not be in vain.
Although she was very impolite and said that Hu Xifeng's life was not worth that much money, everyone in the room knew that she was telling the truth.
Hu Xifeng drinks all day long. Once the money in his pocket is gone, he will just have to wait for death. It can be said that his value is almost zero.
Hu Guilan suddenly remembered something, "Xiaomei, how much money did the murderer steal from Hu Xifeng?"
"Thirty-seven cents."
Everyone: ...
It turns out that the money is not enough for the murderer to want.
Hu Guilan showed a look of astonishment. "How can it be just this little? Didn't he say last time that he still had more than ten yuan after the divorce?"
"He should have used the money to buy alcohol."
Only half a month passed between Hu Xifeng's divorce and his murder, and he had only 37 cents left out of the ten yuan he had, which means he spent almost one yuan a day on drinking.
This is outrageous.
You have to know that the daily salary of newly converted workers is not even that much.
No wonder his wife couldn't live with him and insisted on getting a divorce.
After a moment of silence, Hu Guilan gritted her teeth and said, "He really deserves to die."
Before, she only knew that Hu Xifeng was an alcoholic, but she didn't know how much money he spent on drinking every day.
Now that she knew the approximate cost, Hu Guilan really wanted to say that it was a good thing to die.
Hu Xifeng's life was indeed very miserable. His body could have been claimed the day after his death.
As a result, the Hu family refused to accept it, and neither did his ex-wife.
The county had never encountered such a situation before, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with it.
We could only send people to communicate with both parties and try to persuade them to take the body away.
The Hu family refused to agree no matter what, but Hu Xifeng's ex-wife couldn't bear it and agreed.
However, she had one request: that the county burn the body into ashes.
When the county saw that she agreed, they were so happy that they didn't even ask for the cost of cremating the body, and even gave her an urn for free.
Unexpectedly, his ex-wife took the ashes and threw them directly into the river...
the next day.
The county issued a notice to tighten controls on people returning to the city, as well as a notice for men returning to the city to watch target practice.
These two notices made the men who returned to the city very angry, and they felt that they were insulted.
However, although most people were angry, they did not dare to resist. Only a few people with poor brains chose to fight.
The county said it’s okay if your brain isn’t working well, as long as your body is in good health.
The street office staff found out about these people who were protesting with concrete actions and told the police, who arrested them and sent them to the brick factory.
When they got to this point, some people still refused to accept and said, "I just won't do it."
Then they were severely beaten.
After being beaten, they became obedient and realized they were wrong, but it was too late.
Even if you are so tired that you cry for your parents, you still have to finish the work.
Their experiences and watching the target shooting made the men who returned to the city so scared that they dared not do anything out of the ordinary.
This will ensure that Tang County’s public security remains calm for a long time to come.
...
April 18th.
Tang County received a document that made many people's scalps tingle.
One-child reward policy.
This document is issued by the province. It states that if a woman is willing to have only one child and not a second child and take sterilization measures, she can apply for a reward certificate and receive the reward.
That night, everyone in the Li family was discussing this matter.
Li Xu smacked his lips and spoke first, "Such a large reward means the higher-ups are even more anxious. But expecting to control population growth with this is simply unrealistic."
The rewards given above can be described as huge for most people.
For example, for child care expenses, if the woman has a city household registration, she can receive an extra five yuan per month from her unit until the child reaches the age of fourteen.
If the woman has a rural household registration and lives in the countryside, she will be awarded 50 to 70 working days each year.
According to the current value of work points in rural Tang County, this means that people with rural household registration can receive an additional 40 to 60 yuan per year.
There is also a clause that states that food rations for children with rural household registration will be distributed according to the adult standard.
This means that children can eat their fill and adults will go hungry less.
But such a huge reward is completely useless.
Thirty or forty years later, many people are still determined not to give up until they give birth to a boy, as if there is a throne to inherit in the family.
You have to know that family planning had been implemented for many years at that time, and people still had this idea. You can imagine what people think today.
It goes without saying that parents who give birth to a girl as their first child will definitely continue to have children.
Not only that, even if the first child is a boy, there is a high probability that this will happen.
After all, more children means more blessings.
Besides, having only one son is too unsafe. If something unexpected happens, there will be no one to take care of you in your old age.
