Chapter 474 The Control Group of the 1960s’ Beloved Heroine 18
Su Jianshe was determined to stay away from Old Man Su and the others. Although he only had the 20 yuan he got from the family division and the 12.60 yuan he had saved from the black market during this period, he still found the team leader and told him about renting a house.
The team leader thought that he was disappointed with his parents and wanted to move out of the Su family completely, so without asking any questions, he rented him an empty house at the end of the village near the foot of the mountain.
Poverty alleviation price, only three yuan rent per year.
Su Jianshe did not go to work. While it was still early, he went back to his room and ate some dried sweet potatoes to fill his stomach, then took his tools and went over there to clean up.
Liu Xiaomei also wanted to go with them, but Su Jianshe disagreed because the house over there had not been anyone living there for a long time and was very dusty. He was reluctant to take his daughter there to collect dust, and of course, he didn't dare to leave his daughter alone at the Su house.
Liu Xiaomei thought about it and decided to stay in the house to pack up the things they wanted to take away.
Su Jianshe left with a sickle, broom and rag, and Su Li lay on the kang and watched her mother busying herself in the house.
The house wasn't big, and there wasn't much in it, but wasn't there a saying that "a broken home is worth a fortune"? Her mother now saw everything as a treasure.
From large items like patched clothes, quilts, shoes, socks, boxes, and washbasins, to small items like a half-broken jar in the corner, rags torn into strips, and a half-brick used as a table leg.
If it were the above things, Su Li could still remain calm, but when she saw Liu Xiaomei picking up a small handful of hay in the corner and preparing to pack it up and take it away, she was shocked!
She thought she had seen all kinds of poverty and all kinds of capable householders.
Unexpectedly, after seeing that there are always people better than you, she also saw that there are always poorer people than you, and that a virtuous woman is better at managing the household!
Compared to the happiness and positivity of Su Jianshe and Liu Xiaomei, the other two protagonists of the Su family who were divided were not so happy. They didn't react until they moved all the things obtained from the division back into the house!
Twenty yuan and twenty kilograms of food, what can you do with this little stuff?
Wang Meihua, in particular, was crying so hard that she almost fainted. She knew that her mother-in-law was selfish and didn't care about her sons.
But she never worried about anything, because they were the eldest wife and would be responsible for providing for her parents-in-law in their old age. Even if the family split up, her parents-in-law would still live with them, the eldest wife. For this reason, her parents-in-law did not dare to treat them badly.
Unexpectedly, the old man and the old woman were so cruel that they sent their eldest son and other brothers away with only 20 yuan and 20 kilograms of food.
There are still several months before the brigade distributes food. What can twenty kilograms of food do?
This is going to force them to death!
Su Jianguo had a similar idea. As the eldest son, he was taught by his grandmother to be responsible and take good care of his younger brothers, because he would be the one to support the Su family in the future, and he has always done so.
He was filial to his parents and kind to his younger siblings, but he never expected that he would become the first eldest son in Xinghua Village to be separated from his parents and live alone.
He felt very upset, but he still forced himself to comfort his wife and help her put things away.
Li Xiaoqin understood the situation more clearly than Wang Meihua. After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears and began to comfort Su Jiandang.
"Okay, isn't it just a division? I don't believe that as long as the two of us are willing to work hard, we can really starve to death."
Su Jiandang was completely disheartened this time, and completely eradicated the desire for his parents' love from his heart.
He always claimed to be the smartest among his brothers, and thought he had seen through his parents a long time ago. Unexpectedly, he was still too young and didn't know that people could be so cruel when they were selfish!
Well, my wife is right. As long as he is willing to work hard, even if there is no food, aren’t there wild vegetables and tree roots and bark on the mountain?
As long as you can hold on, life will always get by!
Lu Zhaodi has not yet realized that today's division of the family has completely chilled the hearts of her three sons. She is still teasing Su Baozhu in the room and dreaming of letting Su Baozhu pick up a box of money.
It wasn't until I heard my stomach rumbling that I remembered I hadn't had breakfast today.
She didn't think much about it. She made a bowl of malted milk for herself and Su Baozhu, and then went to the kitchen to get her boiled egg.
As a result, when she entered the kitchen, what she saw was not the humble and cautious daughters-in-law, but a cold stove.
Lu Zhaodi didn't expect that her daughters-in-law were so lazy after they just separated from the family. Her face suddenly became gloomy.
"Older family, younger family, isn't it your turn to cook today? It's already so late, hurry up and come out to cook."
When Wang Meihua heard Lu Zhaodi shouting outside, she stopped crying and subconsciously tried to go out, but was stopped by Su Jianguo, whose eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't go!"
Wang Meihua looked up at him, pretended to be conflicted for a moment, and then sat back down as Su Jianguo pulled her.
She is not a masochist. She was controlled by Lu Zhaodi in the past. She didn't dare to disobey her because she wanted to please the old woman and wanted her to be nicer to Lai Fu. Now that they have separated, she certainly won't go looking for trouble again!
Li Xiaoqin in the second house didn't even pretend to hear anything. She just pretended not to hear anything. She quickly made a bowl of egg drop soup for Lai Wang and started to count all her belongings.
Lu Zhaodi stood in the yard and shouted for a long time. Her son, who used to respond quickly when he heard her voice, did not respond to her daughter-in-law at all. She was immediately furious.
"People from the first, second, and third families, are you all deaf? It's already late and you're not cooking yet? Do you want to starve me to death?"
"Whose daughter-in-law is as lazy as you..."
“Puchi…hahahaha…”
Before Lu Zhaodi finished scolding, the woman who lived on the left side of the Su family leaned on the wall of the Su family with a bowl of wild vegetable soup in her hand, and she couldn't help laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
Lu Zhaodi finally had a place to vent her rage: "Pei Daya, what are you doing on top of my wall?"
Pei Daya took a big gulp of soup from the bowl and laughed arrogantly: "Let me see how shameless some people are. They push their sons and daughters-in-law to death, and yet they still have the nerve to lick their faces and let others cook and serve them!"
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? I'm not one of those filial and easy-to-control daughters-in-law in your family. Haha, you have the nerve to do it, but you're afraid of what others say?"
Lu Zhaodi was so angry that her chest was heaving. She spat at Pei Daya and turned back to the house with an angry face.
It’s not that she was afraid of Pei Daya, she just didn’t want to be laughed at.
Lu Zhaodi comforted herself in this way.
"Bah, poisonous woman!"
Pei Daya also spat at her back before getting down from the wall, smiling triumphantly like a rooster that had won a battle.
Old Man Su had been hungry for a long time and had heard the noise outside. When he saw Lu Zhaodi coming in with a gloomy face, his expression turned ugly.
Before, they thought that even if they split up, their son and daughter-in-law were both filial and easy to control, so it wouldn't have any impact on them. But now...
