As soon as the family reached the entrance of the next village, they heard loud cries coming from a yard in the distance.
Wang Xiuzhi heard the voice and hurried over, "Oh no, that's your aunt's house."
When Jiang Qingyue's three brothers heard this, they also rushed forward quickly.
Jiang Qingyue didn't dare to run, so she could only chase after him quickly.
When I arrived at the door, I saw that my aunt's house was surrounded by people from the village.
In the middle of the yard, an old woman was lying on her back on the ground, crying, "My poor son, he died and his body hasn't even been found yet, and his wife is already here to bully us old couple."
After saying that, he rushed to the woman next to him and said, "You are a woman who brings bad luck to your husband. You have been in our Zhang family for so many years, but you can't even give birth to a baby. Why don't you get out of our Zhang family right away?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xiuzhi rushed forward.
He pushed the old woman aside and rescued Wang Xiuhe who was underneath.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Wang Xiuhe had already looked emaciated, but when she saw her sister Wang Xiuzhi coming, she could not help but burst into tears.
"Sister, Guohua is gone, he is gone."
Wang Xiuzhi quickly hugged the person and comforted him for a while.
After handing the person over to Jiang Qingyue, he started scolding the old woman.
"Who are you calling a husband-killer? How did Guohua die? Don't you know? If you hadn't forced him to join the army and not allowed my little sister to accompany the army to take care of him, would he have gotten into this trouble?"
"And you scolded my sister for being infertile. I need to have a serious talk with you about this. How many days does Guohua stay at home throughout the year? My sister is tortured by you every day at home. How bad is her health? Do you want to ask the people in your own village?"
The old woman couldn't win the argument and was about to continue throwing a tantrum.
Wang Xiuzhi picked up the hoe and put it on the ground. "Come, lie down on my blade. I've brought all my children here today. You can't cheat me!"
When the other party saw Wang Xiuzhi's rogue attitude, he dared not lie down anymore.
He turned around and looked for the captain, "Captain, these people from other brigades are coming to our village to cause trouble, do you care?"
Captain Zhang of the village didn't want to get involved in this mess, but now he sees that Captain Jiang Baoye of the Red Star Brigade next door has come.
Still, he stood up and said, "Captain Jiang, it turns out that you and the Zhang family are relatives. It's all my fault that I didn't know it before."
Jiang Baoye snorted coldly, "Don't say any other polite words, just tell me how to solve this problem."
"Zhang Guohua's body is still warm, but his family is so impatient to kick his wife out of the house. What's the logic?"
Jiang Qingyue also chimed in, "Dad, just report it to the police!"
"This matter concerns the families of martyrs. It is understandable that Captain Zhang is afraid of taking responsibility and does not want to come forward. Let the public security comrades make the decision directly!"
Upon hearing that they wanted to report the case, Captain Zhang panicked and hurriedly tried to persuade them.
"This is all a family matter. We can just talk it out together. There's no need to mobilize so many people to report it to the police. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
"As for this matter, in fact, it all comes down to the Zhang family being too greedy and wanting to monopolize the pension."
The old woman was unhappy when she heard this. "It was my son who was sacrificed. What does it have to do with Wang Xiuhe? Why should I give her a penny?"
Jiang Qingyue didn't want to argue with this kind of person, so she insisted on reporting the case. "How the pension is distributed is decided by the state, not by your opinion. It's illegal to embezzle other people's pensions. Let's just report it to the police and solve it."
When the old woman heard that it was illegal, she was shocked.
He wanted to insist on something but was pulled back by the old man next to him.
The two of them discussed it in whispers for a long time before they said, "That's not what we meant. We are all family. Leaving the money with me is for Wang Xiuhe's own good. If she needs money in the future, she can ask me for it, right?"
Wang Xiuzhi clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I've never seen such shameless old people like you. Just now you said you wouldn't give me a penny, but now you're telling my sister to keep it for me?"
"Just now you said you wanted to kick my sister out, but now you want to divide the money, you don't want to let her go? Pah! You're dreaming. My sister has already divided the money today, and we won't stay in this house anymore."
Jiang Qingyue supported Wang Xiuhe, feeling very angry, but still asked her, "Aunt, it doesn't matter if you don't stay in this house. Will you come back with us?"
Wang Xiuhe shed two lines of tears, "Not for anything else, but mainly because of your uncle--"
"Aunt, your uncle and you have always had a good relationship. You were bullied at home before but you didn't tell him. If he knew what you were going through, he would definitely support you to leave."
Hearing this, Wang Xiuhe couldn't help choking up, and after a long pause she said, "Okay, I'll go."
When the old woman saw Wang Xiuhe leaving again, she knew she couldn't stop her.
Another thought came to his mind, "Guohua is the third child in the family. His elder brothers have taken good care of him since he was a child. Now that he is in trouble, the money must be divided into four parts, leaving one part for each of his elder brothers."
Jiang Qingyue was speechless. There was no way she could reason with such a unreasonable person.
It's just a waste of words.
"Dad, Mom, I think we should take my aunt to the county to ask the police to solve this problem. Don't waste time here."
Jiang Baoye agreed and shouted to Captain Zhang, "Captain Zhang, come with us to the police station to report the situation!"
Captain Zhang waved his hands repeatedly and shouted at the old couple, "Uncle, aunt, what are you doing? The pension originally belongs to your Guohua's wife, half of it. You should give it to them quickly, otherwise when the police come, not only will no one be able to escape, but you won't get a penny either."
After some intimidation, the old couple finally got scared.
Reluctantly he took out half of the pension from the house.
After confirming that the amount was correct, Jiang Qingyue and Wang Xiuzhi took Wang Xiuhe back to the house to pack up.
Jiang Baoye forced the other team leader to divide her food.
After sorting out everything, it was finally completely cleared up.
"Aunt, let's go!"
Wang Xiuhe wiped her tears and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, thank you for coming here today, but I can't go back with you. I'll go back to my parents' home."
Wang Xiuzhi disagreed, "How can we live in our mother's old house? Besides, it's too close to here. Don't you find it uncomfortable?"
Jiang Baoye also sighed and said, "Why don't you go find an old house in our village and rent it temporarily? I'll take care of the food issue later. At least you sisters will have someone to take care of them."
Jiang Qingyue could see that her aunt didn't want to trouble them.
But looking at her current condition, it is not suitable for her to live outside alone.
Thinking that she was also alone, she took the initiative to suggest, "Aunt, you can stay at my place. I live alone now and I'm scared at night."
Hearing this, Wang Xiuzhi's eyes lit up, "Yes, you go and keep Qingyue company."
