Chapter 451 Sending the Plague God
"Today's movie is over! We'll continue to show it tomorrow, for a whole week, and we'll also be showing a martial arts film. Everyone, come early tomorrow!"
The open-air movie was over, and the projectionist picked up a loud speaker and shouted at the audience who were reluctant to leave under the screen to get out. At this time, the projectionist would often be asked to "replay the movie". Who would be willing to suffer this in such a cold weather?
"Let's go! Let's go watch a movie today. I'm really mad."
"I see you are not angry! You are crying. A grown man crying while watching a movie. Haha. You are worse than a woman like me."
"I'm not crying. Lend me some paper."
“Oh I just ran out of it.”
"You guys are just crying, don't you see something deeper? The kindness and generosity of Huaihua and Chun'er are what this film wants to express."
"Nonsense, do kind people deserve to be bullied? Director Xu, our family are all kind people, should we suffer for the rest of our lives? We haven't settled the matter with you about the last salary increase yet."
"It's simply... unreasonable."
“.”
Nearly a thousand audience members left the theater in groups of two or three, carrying stools and discussing the plot of the movie as they walked.
Everyone was clearly divided into two camps. A small number of "insightful and high-minded" people all agreed with Chun'er and Huaihua's magnanimity, but more people were cursing them.
"If I were Chun'er, I would never provide them with old-age care. I would rather donate the money and feed it to dogs!"
“.”
These words fell into Yang Huaihua's ears, making her feel extremely relieved, but also a little confused.
Yang Huaihua has been upright and strong all her life, and has never used any "dirty tricks" on others.
At this moment, she was looking at the embarrassed backs of the Jia family from behind, and she always felt that maybe they were a little too cruel?
She had witnessed with her own eyes the scene of people being drowned by spit.
As for why Yang Huaihua was hesitant, it was because she was worried about her son.
She quietly pulled her son Yang Yumin over and said, "Yumin, did you do this? I'm telling you, you must not admit it. If you are accused of being cruel and ruthless, it will be terrible!"
Although Yang Huaihua is uneducated, she is definitely not stupid. She felt something was wrong when watching the movie just now. After thinking about it all night, she finally came up with some clues.
"Cruel and ruthless?"
Yang Yumin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm that capable? Besides, this movie can't be shot so timely!"
Yang Huaihua looked at her son suspiciously, and after thinking about it, she felt that she was overthinking.
Although Yang Yumin's novel "Homelander" is being made into a movie, and his son has been connected to the film and television industry, "Homelander" has been filmed for almost a year and has not yet been released. The plot of this movie only took place a few days ago?
Yang Yumin managed to fool my mother, but after returning home, he turned around and asked Li Yue.
"Xiao Yue, was this done by your brother?"
Li Yue looked at Yang Yumin and said with a smile: "I won't admit it."
Yang Yumin nodded and said, "That's right, your answer is indeed Li Ye's style."
“.”
Li Yue was a little confused, so she asked, "What is my brother's style?"
"Unexpected. Different. Harmless. Cunning. Honest."
Yang Yumin recalled for a moment and whispered, "I still remember the first time Li Huaisheng brought Li Ye to the literature club that day. He was very humble and easy-going. He seemed to be a very smart and easy-going child.
But later someone provoked him. His counterattack was very violent. He had a catchphrase: "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will dig up your ancestors' graves."
“.”
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then said proudly, "That's right. I taught my brother since he was young. He is smart and righteous, but a little bit retarded. However, he dare not use his strength in front of me, even if he has three guts."
“.”
Yang Yumin looked at his proud wife and suddenly felt that she was very lucky.
She was just a little wronged at her wedding, but her younger brother made such a big fuss and took revenge on the Jia family. I don't know how much he paid for it.
. . . . . .
Li Yue was in high spirits, but the Jia family in the west room was in a gloomy mood.
"What should I do? It's so embarrassing."
"Keep your voice down. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know that we are embarrassed?"
"You are the one who is trying to cover up your own mistakes. When I walked in just now, several neighbors were pointing and swearing at me. How could this damn movie be so realistic?"
"He dares to scold us? Fuck."
"Okay, stop arguing."
The old man from the Jia family threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground fiercely, and still not satisfied, he crushed it into pieces with his shoe.
"We will leave tomorrow and pretend that we have never had this son."
“.”
When they heard that they were leaving, the rest of the Jia family were stunned.
The days in this month have been so comfortable, it would be nice even after the winter!
Then the old lady of the Jia family started crying.
"Why? The child I carried for ten months and gave birth to has made it big. Why should I take Yang Huaihua to the capital to enjoy a good life, but I can't do the same?"
In fact, this is the reason why the Jia family is most "uneasy". Yang Huaihua is their adoptive mother and can come to enjoy the good life, but the Jia family is their relative, so why can't they also benefit from it?
Yang Yumin's family is obviously very rich, they have motorcycles worth thousands of dollars, so what does he need to feed a few mouths?
But the second son of the Jia family was a coward. After hearing what his mother said, he said timidly, "They gave us eight dollars. If we refuse to leave, we might lose the eight dollars."
"What can you do with eight dollars? Do you want his eight dollars?"
"Eight dollars is not something you care about, but I am. Don't you know how much money our family can save in a month?"
“.”
The Jia family argued and stayed awake all night, but still couldn't come to any conclusion.
. . . . . . .
However, early the next morning, when they were still hesitating, several enthusiastic neighbors came to their door.
"My girl, I see your car is parked outside, are you home?"
Li Yue was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the call, she came out quickly: "Hey, Auntie, I'm at home! Auntie Sui, do you need a car for something? I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Since Li Yue married into Zhongguancun, she has always gotten along well with her neighbors. Not only does she help neighbors when they need cars, get married, move, etc., but she also occasionally brings some "defective goods" from Pengcheng Factory No. 7 to build relationships. So a group of aunts and sisters have a very good impression of her.
Aunt Sui said: "I don't need a car, I don't need a car, we just came here to tell you something."
Several old ladies came up to Li Yue with gossipy faces and asked in a whisper, "Did you let your man's biological parents live here permanently?"
This is the gossipy wisdom of the old ladies in the capital. If Li Yue said that she voluntarily kept the Jia family at home, she would turn around and leave and would never get involved in the affairs of the Yang family.
But Li Yue said aggrievedly: "We have no way to keep them here, but they won't leave, so it's not easy to get rid of them! They always say they want to go to our husband's unit to find his leader."
"The movie that was shown yesterday was similar to our situation. When we got married last month, a neighbor saw it. We promised to give them pension money every month, but they just wouldn't leave. What can we do?"
Which girl doesn't gossip? Adding fuel to the fire and gossiping is a natural talent that women are born with. Li Yue doesn't usually use it, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have it, it's just that she hasn't used it yet.
After Li Yue said these two sentences, the gossip fire of a group of old ladies was immediately ignited.
"That's what I told you! There's no such thing as a poor relative staying at someone else's house all day. That's really shameless!"
"Don't be afraid, girl. You are young and inexperienced in this kind of thing. You can be fooled by just a few words from others."
Aunt Sui deliberately said loudly: "Even if they go to your husband's workplace to make trouble, the workplace will send people to our street to investigate. People will not easily trust a group of outsiders."
“When the unit comes to investigate, we can prove to you what they are up to!
We have been watching this with our own eyes for more than a month! The Jia family is lazy and does nothing, wandering the streets like vagrants every day."
"That's right. Although the crackdown has just ended, our street won't tolerate such scoundrels. If it weren't for your face, we would have reported them and arrested them as vagrants."
“.”
Li Yue and Aunt Sui were talking excitedly outside, but the Jia family in the west room were frightened.
"How can these old ladies be so cruel! Did we provoke you, yet you want to arrest us as vagrants?"
"This daughter-in-law is really a piece of shit, she's like a tigress and a vixen"
"Mother, why don't we go? We can't beat her in a fight, and we can't talk him out of it. As long as we have the green mountains, we won't have to worry about having no firewood."
As Li Yue, Aunt Sui and others became happier and happier as they talked, the Jia family became more and more afraid. Finally, in the face of the severe situation, they reached a common agreement to retreat temporarily.
After Aunt Sui and others left, the old man from the Jia family came out with a dark face.
"In Yumin's house, I have something to tell you. We are leaving."
“.”
Li Yue was overjoyed, but looked very surprised. "Why are you leaving? You haven't stayed for two days? There's a movie tonight!"
I'll let your grandma go!
The old man of the Jia family was holding back his anger and said in a sullen voice: "But since we have come to the capital, we must bring something back to our relatives at home. They are all Yumin's elders. Go and help buy them."
The smile on Li Yue's face disappeared immediately. Was he going to do another cleanup before leaving?
She said coldly: "What do you want to buy? If it's too much, I can't afford it."
The old man of the Jia family said ashamedly: "I didn't ask you to buy something too expensive. Just the clothes you gave to your neighbor a few days ago will do."
Li Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Pengcheng Factory No. 7 not only produces Fenghua brand clothing, but also low-end products. Defective goods only cost two or three yuan each.
"Okay, I'll bring two for each of you."
"Two pieces are not enough. Each person needs at least three pieces."
Old man Jia shamelessly raised his demands because when he was talking on the phone to his hometown a few days ago, he had made a promise to those relatives and friends that he would give each of them a piece of clothing when he returned.
"Okay, three per person."
Li Yue almost wanted to laugh. It was less than ten yuan per person. This plague god gave it away at a really cheap price.
