Chapter 90
"Old Wang, why are you so extravagant? Can't we just walk back? Besides, what's going on with you? Why are you scolding me without any reason?" Yang Chenggong chased Wang Shoucheng to the station.
He was even more confused. He had known Lao Wang for decades. Why did he suddenly become like this?
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm annoyed just seeing you. The two people you met are just scoundrels. How could they be looking for the child? They are here to cheat! I think you are in cahoots with them. None of you are a good person!"
Wang Shoucheng said a few words to him in a swearing manner.
Seeing the car coming, he hurried to get on.
Yang Chenggong was stunned by what he said, but he still had work to do and couldn't go back.
When Wang Shoucheng arrived at the village, several old ladies who were chatting at the entrance of the village saw him coming back and greeted him.
"Old Wang, you've come at the right time. We have something we want to ask you." Wang Shoucheng knew several old ladies at the entrance of the village. They were about the same age as him.
Although he usually maintains a serious image, he still likes to talk to these old ladies.
And he looked respectable, which made him popular with the old ladies.
Wang Shoucheng walked over.
Among the few people, Widow Qiu asked directly: "Brother Wang, I heard today that someone in the provincial capital lost a child. Have you been to the place where they lost the child? Or the place where you and your sister-in-law fled before? How is that place? Is it fun? Where was your eldest child born?
you……
Do you know the people who lost the child? Did you help them today? "
"What the hell? Who told you that?" Wang Shoucheng's head buzzed and he was instantly furious.
How can I tell this out loud?
He wanted to bury the past events of his family, but now even a few gossipers at the entrance of the village knew about it? What was the difference between that and the whole village knowing about it?
"Sister Jinhua, she brought some people from the Women's Federation to deliver something to an old lady living alone today, and she ran into me and started chatting with me. To be honest, Brother Wang, you are such a good person. It's been so many years, and you are still willing to help others."
Widow Qiu looked at Wang Shoucheng with enthusiasm. As soon as she saw him, she remembered the pork that the Wang family had been allocated.
There is so much pork. If I give it to her, she won’t know how to eat it.
Wang Shoucheng had no idea what she was thinking. He wanted to tear Chen Jinhua's mouth apart! How could someone be so talkative?
Now the whole village probably knows that someone in the city has lost his son, and it happened to be the place he had been to. His attitude towards the eldest son... and the eldest son's age, and the fact that the eldest son in Xuancheng was a premature baby?
If you add all these together, how can anyone not be suspicious over time?
Wang Shoucheng's legs suddenly went limp.
He sat down on the ground in panic.
"Brother Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Widow Qiu was a little confused when she saw the man who was talking peacefully and suddenly collapsed.
"No, it's okay, I'm going home first. I, I remembered I have something to do at home." Wang Shoucheng rolled and crawled up, and disappeared in a flash.
"He's already old, why is he still so unsteady? Why is he running so fast? Is there a ghost chasing him?" Widow Qiu stared at the man.
This made the other old ladies laugh at her.
Wang Shoucheng ran back home. At this time, Zhao Guifen also came back.
She boasted to her daughters-in-law with a smug look on her face. After all, as long as she was paid, she would definitely succeed in the job.
This is a great joyous event for the couple's family.
She and her husband could privately supplement the money their two sons earned from work.
By then, I can still say that I don’t need money from my family, so that others will have nothing to say.
The second and fifth sons were able to become workers again.
How good is this? She couldn't even think about it.
The bad luck of this period is finally going to be washed away. When the eldest son's wife, the unlucky star, comes back, she must show off.
But I still have to discuss this matter with the old man.
She was just thinking about it when Wang Shoucheng rushed into the yard.
He looked like he had seen a ghost, and even Zhao Guifen was shocked: "Old man, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Zhao Guifen was also afraid in her heart, wondering if the deal had not been reached.
That would be fatal.
"Let's go back to the house and talk first. You should do what you should do." Wang Shoucheng looked at the second and fifth sons' wives, and then at his sons who were working over there. They all looked unhappy.
Everyone was a little confused after hearing his remark.
Wang Shoucheng took Zhao Guifen back to the house, and said anxiously: "Old lady, where is our money? Hurry and give it to me."
"Do you want to die? You want money as soon as you come back? How much do you want?" As soon as Zhao Guifen mentioned money, she became unfriendly to her old man.
"Four thousand, all must be taken out."
"What the hell? How much?" Zhao Guifen was stunned.
Is the old man crazy?
"This is all the money we have, both on the surface and in private. If we take it all out, how are we going to live? Our two sons are still waiting to buy jobs. Their uncle has already said that they will get 350 yuan each, so we will arrange this for them."
By then, they will be two formal workers.
You are asking for money now, aren't you asking for the lives of our family members?"
Zhao Guifen was about to cry.
"I think you don't want to kill our family!" Wang Shoucheng looked at the old woman and felt unlucky. But he also knew that if he didn't explain clearly, she would never take out the money.
So I told her the story.
After hearing this, Zhao Guifen was also dumbfounded: "How could this happen?"
"How should I know? You are in charge of our family's money. I trust you so much, but you don't even think about this matter for me. I ended up going there and getting cheated by someone. If that's all, it would be fine. I'll come back as soon as I get back."
The whole village knows about this little thing happening in our family!
Everyone knows that I went to the city, and they also know that we went to the place where people lost their children.
When our eldest child was born, we said you were pregnant here and that you were born prematurely. But just a few months after you left, you brought home a child.
It didn't mean much to hear this at the time, but now when combined with these two things, how many people will be suspicious?
Hurry up and get the money to help with the disaster relief. I see that those two are here to ask for money. Take the money and wait for them to leave. Then we can separate the eldest brother and his wife, and this family can live a good life. "
Wang Shoucheng spoke faster than usual, and sounded anxious enough.
"Then what about our second and fifth sons?" Zhao Guifen was unwilling.
"What can we do? Let their wives go back to their parents' home to find a solution, and we'll pay them back later. After all, we still have food from the autumn harvest, and we'll distribute it soon." Wang Shoucheng calculated that he should be able to get together the money from work, but there would be a quarrel at home.
But I can't care about that now.
"This is the only way." Zhao Guifen took out the hidden money from under a brick on the ground.
In total, they dug up more than fifty bricks before they took out all the money.
In the brigade, Bai Xiuxiu was feeding her children lunch. The lunch consisted of biscuits she brought with her, which she had soaked in brown sugar and water until softened. They tasted sweet and fragrant.
"Jinhua, our team will distribute rations the day after tomorrow." The team leader came into the house and said to them.
Bai Xiu Xiu was also happy when she heard this. She was waiting for the food to be distributed so that she could separate from the family.
She and Wang Qinghe still have to share the money that the Wang family has in public.
