Chapter 56 There is still that thing in this house...
Zhou Xian was not surprised when Wu Guoxing asked about the plastic greenhouse.
When this thing doesn't produce any results, some people will think it's good, while others will be worried and dare not try it.
Zhou Xian said, "Captain Wu, building the plastic greenhouse is also for everyone's benefit. The details depend on the follow-up situation of Taohua Brigade. Once there is a result, the commune leaders will definitely notify everyone."
"If it works, will our Yanghua Brigade also have a chance in the future?"
"As long as we can succeed in this breeding, there will definitely be opportunities."
Zhou Xian didn't want to say more about the rest, but it was enough to make Wu Guoxing happy.
Especially I heard that she had written articles for newspapers more than once.
If the Yang family incident had not happened in their brigade, he could still shamelessly ask if he could also write about their brigade's affairs, but now that things have become so ugly, he is too embarrassed to ask.
Zhou Xian took a look and saw nothing else, so he went back.
But Old Lady Yang stared at her back until she was out of sight, then turned around and walked home. She didn't even hear her eldest daughter-in-law calling her from behind.
At this moment, the Yang family did not dare to target Yang Shengyi anymore. After all, no one wants to be in the newspaper.
When they heard that someone had written to the newspaper to inquire about the matter, they became even more nervous, fearing that someone would reveal that it was someone from their family.
Just thinking about the money made them unwilling to give up.
Especially Zhang Xiaohuan. Her husband is a worker and the one who earns the most money in the family. Not only did he have to give a share of his salary to that dead girl, but now he has gone to the farm and has even lost his job. She feels so sad no matter how she thinks about it.
The fact that her husband secretly kept the salary increase had already made her mother-in-law very unhappy with her, and she thought it must have been her who instigated it.
So she could only get the third family to take the lead.
After living together for so many years, she knew exactly where each other felt pain. After dinner, she saw the third son's wife go to her parents-in-law's room.
She paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and after a while, she saw the third daughter-in-law being scolded by her mother-in-law.
"What do you think you are doing? I'm not even dead yet, and you dare to use me as a stick. Get out of here, get out of here."
Seeing Li Chunliu being kicked out, Zhang Xiaohuan was completely stunned. She couldn't help but peeking through the door for a while, and ended up bumping into her mother-in-law who was going out.
Old Mrs. Yang turned her head and met the eyes of her eldest daughter-in-law.
Her face trembled, and she thought with her toes. She knew that it must be the eldest daughter-in-law who instigated it behind the scenes, otherwise the third daughter-in-law's brain would not be able to come up with such an idea.
It was getting more and more outrageous. She knew that ever since the eldest son went to work in the commune factory, his wife felt that her husband was a worker and looked down on the third son and his wife from the bottom of her heart.
After all, the third son was her most beloved son. Now he has gone to the labor camp. The third son's wife is treated like a monkey by the eldest son's wife at home. She is not very happy about this.
When she was willing to give so much money to that dead girl Yang Hongmei.
Doesn't she want to come back?
I don't know when that damn girl became so smart that she even found the cadres from the brigade and the commune to support her.
Not to mention the cadres of the commune, since she came a few times, the director of the Women's Federation in the brigade has been visiting her home every now and then, doing ideological work for her whenever she has time.
Even when she met the team leader at work, he would remind her to be nicer to Yang Hongmei.
Old Mrs. Yang was so annoyed that she couldn't hit him, so she could only say a few words in a roundabout way.
But that damn girl Yang Hongmei was so angry that she kept scolding for a long time but got nothing. She went closer and peeked through the crack in the door, and saw that the person was lying in the room sleeping.
Now Old Lady Yang was even more afraid to do anything, as she didn’t want to be embarrassed by being in the newspapers.
She was so angry that she thought that she should give the old family a good warning to prevent them from becoming too arrogant and not knowing their place.
If Zhang Xiaohuan wanted to be in the newspapers and embarrass herself across the country, that was her own business. She was an old woman at such a advanced age that she could not afford to embarrass herself.
Before she could say anything, a few days later, Director Ji came again in person with a thick stack of envelopes.
When the members of Yanghua Brigade saw the people from the Women's Federation, they guessed that they were going to the Yang family.
At first, everyone guessed that Yang Hongmei would definitely not be able to keep the money in her hands, but people from the Women's Federation of the commune came every now and then, and the brigade cadres also ran to the Yang family whenever they had time. Yang Hongmei was almost becoming the brigade's key protected person. No matter how brave the old Yang family was, they dared not go against the leaders of the brigade.
Not to mention that Hongmei deposited the money with the brigade.
If the captain loses this money, he will not only be criticized but he may even lose his position.
Those members gathered together to play with the Yang family.
Director Ji asked Captain Wu to call the Yang family to the brigade headquarters and gave the letters to Captain Wu.
These were all sent by readers who saw Hong Mei's photo and the article written by Zhou Xian.
Although the article did not mention the specific location, many people who read the newspaper asked about the current situation of the child in the photo. The newspaper staff sent the readers' letters to the address where Zhou Xian sent the letter, and hoped that Zhou Xian could tell them about the child's current situation.
Old Lady Yang got anxious when she heard this. "Director, I have changed everything. I swear to God, I have never touched that damn girl since then... No, I haven't touched Hongmei at all."
Director Ji looked at her and said, "Don't worry. I have read these letters. They are just concerned about Hongmei's current situation. There are also some leaders here who are also concerned about the child's situation. These letters are sent from Beijing. I will ask the cadres in the brigade to read them to you later."
Where is Beijing? It’s the capital.
It is the heart of the motherland.
It is where Comrade Chairman is.
Old Mrs. Yang was so frightened that her legs went limp.
"We were just asking about Hong Mei's recent situation. You didn't do anything, so we naturally won't slander you."
Old Mrs. Yang felt relieved when she heard this.
But soon she became worried again.
Looking at his eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaohuan, he directly exposed her, "Director, I want to report that my eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaohuan is still unwilling to give up and wants to get back the money that was distributed."
When Li Chunliu heard this, she thought about how her sister-in-law had used her as a stick a few days ago, and how her elder brother had secretly left money for the younger family. She was also very angry, and it was a good opportunity to settle both the new and old accounts at once.
"Yes, I testify that my sister-in-law didn't go herself and wanted me to be the bad guy. Fortunately, my mother-in-law was smart and didn't fall for her trick."
Zhang Xiaohuan was anxious, "No, I didn't say that. She deliberately hurt me. Captain, Director Ji, you have to clear my name. I really didn't do it."
"Okay, stop arguing." Director Ji was too lazy to argue with this family and just wanted to inform them.
But we will not shield them just because they are members of the brigade under Baihua Commune.
"Our comrades will not write about things you didn't do in the newspapers, but we will also tell you the truth about what you did."
Director Ji found Yang Shengyi again and asked about her recent situation before taking Zhou Xian away.
Captain Wu felt a real headache when he looked at the Yang family.
As for the Yang family, after this incident, they couldn't even maintain superficial harmony.
Old Mrs. Yang's attitude also changed drastically, and she even took the initiative to call Yang Shengyi to eat. Yang Shengyi was so scared that he hurriedly took his pottery jar back to the house.
When had her grandmother been so nice to her? It wasn’t like that in her previous life, so could it be that way in this life?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Maybe the old lady is thinking of how to torture her again.
Seeing Yang Shengyi avoiding her like a thief, Old Mrs. Yang took several deep breaths before slowly calming down.
After convincing herself, Old Lady Yang took a boiled egg and came over, "Hongmei, open the door. Grandma boiled an egg for you. Eat it while it's hot."
Yang Hongmei didn't dare to open the door, but Old Lady Yang kept knocking, so she had to open it.
When Yang Hongmei saw Old Lady Yang reaching out her hand to her, the faces of other members of the Yang family in her previous life flashed through her mind, and she froze in place.
In the end, Old Lady Yang just reached out and stuffed the egg into her pocket, and smiled at her, "Hongmei, grandma is very kind to you and gave you eggs to eat. Well, you better not say anything nonsense, okay? You can't let people write nonsense in the newspapers. It's bad for our family's reputation."
She didn't want to embarrass herself in Beijing.
Yang Shengyi understood that there was a purpose behind it, so she said how could her grandmother be so attentive to her, it turned out that she was just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.
But what about the reputation of the Yang family? Does this family still have that thing now?
Yang Shengyi couldn't understand why he wasn't afraid of being embarrassed in the team but was afraid of being embarrassed in the newspaper?
"Grandma, Sister Zhou said that she wouldn't write about things she hadn't done."
She can recognize some words now. Just now, when Sister Zhou went back, she asked her to write a letter. When she comes back next time, she can give the letter to Sister Zhou and she will help to mail it.
But she didn't need to tell her family about this.
Old Mrs. Yang's face twitched again. She wanted to ask Yang Hongmei to say something good about her so that she could be on the newspaper to gain honor, but after moving her lips for a long time, she couldn't say anything.
Finally I had to turn around and go back.
However, when the third room's little grandson heard about boiled eggs, he rushed out and hugged Grandma Yang's thighs and cried, "Grandma, I want to eat boiled eggs too. Why should I eat them if you give them to someone who loses money? Are you still my grandma?"
Old Mrs. Yang was already feeling annoyed at the moment. She glared at her grandson's noise and poked him on the forehead with her hand. "Eat, eat, eat. Just thinking about eating. Do I look like a boiled egg to you? Go back to the house. If you want eggs, go ask your mom for them."
"Humph, you are not my grandma, I will ignore you."
Unable to get the eggs, the little grandson ran away crying again.
Old Mrs. Yang suddenly felt heartbroken.
Did she lack food and drink for these children before?
But they treated her like this just because of a boiled egg. What an ungrateful person.
The most ungrateful one is the dead second son. His death put an end to everything, but he left such a huge mess for the family.
Old Mrs. Yang didn't dare to curse loudly, so she just cried and cursed in the house.
Old man Yang kept smoking his pipe. All the household affairs were taken care of by his wife, and he would only speak when it came to important matters.
I originally thought that Yang Hongmei was an easy girl to control, but who would have thought that this matter would even make it to the newspapers.
It would have been fine if the trouble was just in his own team, but it had even spread to Beijing, which made him really panic.
"Be nice to that girl in the future. Just do what those cadres say and don't let her suffer any loss."
"You don't even need to tell me that. Who wants to be embarrassed in the newspapers?"
It would be fine if it was a good thing, but this is not shameful enough.
Old Mrs. Yang still felt aggrieved, but no one could understand her grievances, which made her feel even more aggrieved.
Those people from the commune Women's Federation came here every now and then. Now everyone knew that those Women's Federation cadres came for their Yang family.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but when this newspaper incident came out, I started to feel something was wrong.
"You can't blame me for this entirely. They are all my sons, and I can't just ignore the eldest and the third." Old Mrs. Yang tried her best to make amends for herself.
Old man Yang was unwilling to listen, "Okay, there's no one else here, why are you talking about those useless things, just speak quickly, we have to go to work tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Yang choked. She suddenly felt that her husband was the one who made the biggest mistake in this matter. If he hadn't taken a fancy to the eldest brother and decided to give the job to him, this wouldn't have happened.
The boss learned all those thoughts from this old man.
