Chapter 13: The Wife is Too Fierce [
More than a month ago, some areas were in danger of flooding, and there were not enough people, so other areas had to send volunteers for support.
Xiangyang Village was under great pressure, and each household had to send one person.
Old man Ye was reluctant to let his own son Ye Zhenghua take risks, so he pushed Ye Yong, who had no blood relationship, out.
No one expected that a flood would break out in the middle of the night where Ye Yong was patrolling.
Ye Yong was washed away by the flood while trying to save national property.
In the past month, no body has been found, and there has been no news.
The official judgement was that he died heroically, and not long ago, city officials came to Xiangyang Village specifically to give the Ye family a pension and a banner.
Ye Qingyue didn't see a penny of that money.
Later, because of a special conversation, she learned that the city had given Old Man Ye a full 300 yuan!
In this place where earning 20 or 30 yuan a month is considered a high income, 300 yuan is a huge sum of money.
It is more than what Old Man Ye has saved for decades!
"That's true."
When the team leader heard Ye Qingyue mention the pension, he immediately remembered it.
At that time, he was still working in the county, and it was the village chief who received the cadres from the city.
When he came back, the village chief boasted about it.
However, the team leader was not very clear about the pension.
"If there is really a pension, it should be given to Qingyue's family."
Qian Yun knew that Ye Yong and Old Man Ye had no blood relationship, "This is what they deserve."
This money should never belong to Old Man Ye.
"Pensions and other things are all included in it." Old man Ye wanted to cheat.
That money is his life, no one can take it away! But
Ye Qingyue didn't give him this opportunity, and directly took out the money he had just received, saying: "This money is all old, obviously it is the savings that have been kept at home for a long time, how can it be a pension?"
When the government distributes money such as pensions, most of the time they will specially take new money from the bank.
Even if it is not new money, it is neat and tidy.
It is impossible to be this kind of wrinkled paper money.
The captain was well aware of this unspoken rule. He frowned and said, "Comrade Ye Weimin and Comrade Ye Yong sacrificed themselves for the country. The pension is the compensation paid by the country to them. Do you want to embezzle the country's assets?"
The big hat was put on Old Man Ye's neck, and he couldn't afford it!
However, the money was too much.
So much that Old Man Ye had to take the risk to keep it in his own hands.
"After the pension was issued, the family also encountered many places where money was needed. Today, Fangfang's wedding was held, and the dowry was prepared. After all the miscellaneous things, it was gone."
Old man Ye said shamelessly: "I didn't take it for myself. It was all used to subsidize this family. Xianghong and Qingyue are both members of this family and have benefited from it."
The captain choked. This old man is so obsessed with money that he doesn't care about his life, right?
However, they just searched the house thoroughly and there was no sign of the pension.
If Old Man Ye insisted that the money was all spent, even if the police were called, they would not be able to make it clear.
Just when things were at a stalemate -
"Grandpa, didn't you put the pension on the beams of your and grandma's bedroom?"
A voice sounded from outside the kitchen.
Old man Ye opened his eyes wide and looked at the door in disbelief.
Ye Feng looked innocent: "I remember you told grandma that you couldn't touch a penny of the money."
Although Old man Ye paid Ye Xianghong and Ye Qingyue in advance on the day of the pension distribution, Ye
Feng couldn't go out because of a cold .
He saw a leader-like person coming to his house, accompanied by the village chief, and the scene was quite formal.
And grandpa, second uncle and others seemed to be particularly wary of him, which made Ye Feng cautious.
After overhearing that the leader was here to distribute the pension and Old man Ye hid the money on the beam, Ye Feng didn't say anything and quietly returned to the house.
He didn't dare tell his mother and sister about this.
After Ye Yong's death, their family was in a difficult situation. They would definitely not be able to fight for the money, which would only bring disaster.
It's different now.
Ye Feng could feel that his sister had become different.
Maybe it would be possible to fight for the money that should belong to his family at this time.
When Ye Qingyue heard what Ye Feng said, she turned around and walked out.
"Stop!"
Old Man Ye was about to reach out to stop Ye Qingyue.
How could Qian Yun let him succeed?
As the director of the women's department, she should protect the weak women, and she immediately went over to block Old Man Ye's hand.
The team leader saw this scene from the side, and his butt was like being burned by a fire tongs. He rushed over with a "bang", blocking between Old Man Ye and Qian Yun, and helped Qian Yun stop Old Man Ye.
We can't let our own wife hold this old man back. What if he takes advantage of us?
The captain held Old Man Ye and looked at Qian Yun with a wry smile. His own wife is too fierce!
Seeing him holding Old Man Ye back, Qian Yun followed Ye Qingyue and supported her to avoid any other troubles.
"Zhenghua's wife! Hold that damn girl!"
Although Old Man Ye was held back, he still didn't give up and shouted loudly.
In the front room, Chen Yulan was still watching Doctor Wang applying iodine to her son.
Hearing the heartbreaking cry of her father-in-law from behind, she was a little confused and didn't know what happened.
Then, she saw Ye Qingyue enter the front room and go straight to Old Man Ye's bedroom.
Chen Yulan subconsciously held her back.
But as soon as she took a step, her movements froze.
It was because Qian Yun, the director of the women's department, was following behind Ye Qingyue, staring at her with a fierce look.
Chen Yulan retracted her foot that was about to take a risk.
Ye Qingyue entered Old Man Ye's bedroom smoothly. Seeing Ye Feng pointing at a certain place on the beam, he immediately brought a ladder.
When he climbed up, he saw a small cloth bag there as expected.
Ye Qingyue put the small cloth bag directly into his pocket.
After getting down the ladder, Ye Qingyue took Qian Yun's hand and choked up, "Thank you, Aunt Qian. If it weren't for you and the captain, the money my father earned with his life would have been taken away by them."
Qian Yun patted her on the back and said, "This is what our Women's Federation should do."
In the backyard, Old Man Ye's crying stopped.
When Ye Qingyue and the others returned to the kitchen, Old Man Ye just stared at her with a gloomy look, but he didn't reach out to grab the money.
Ye Qingyue guessed that it was because of what the captain said that Old Man Ye didn't dare to act recklessly.
After receiving the compensation, Ye Qingyue simply signed the division document in triplicate.
Ye Qingyue and Old Man Ye each had one copy, and the captain took one copy and returned to the brigade headquarters for safekeeping.
After folding the documents and putting them in his arms, Ye Qingyue took Ye Xianghong and Ye Feng to his own room to pack their luggage.
Under the gloomy gaze of Old Man Ye and others, the family of three carried large and small bags and walked towards the end of the village.
Although the onlookers had dispersed, they were still pointing and talking from a distance.
"Then the vixen really separated the family?"
"If we don't separate the family, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death!"
"With a psychotic mother and a sick brother, it won't be easy if the family is separated."
"When the life becomes difficult, the vixen will hook up a man to help!"
"Is one person enough? The burden of her family cannot be shouldered by two men, right?"
"Hahaha..."
Ye Qingyue listened to the cold words vaguely coming from the wind and didn't care about it.
She knew that even though she pretended to be pitiful today, she defeated Chen Yulan's army and won.
But after so many years of slander, her reputation in the village was so bad that it would be impossible to change it for a while.
Ye Qingyue was not in a hurry.
The days are still long.
Whatever these people owe her and slander her, she will get it back sooner or later!
Separation is just the beginning.
