◎First update◎
This was the first time Liu Nianhua received a salary. It was different from waiting for Zhou Guoping to give him ten yuan a month for living expenses. This time it felt better and every bill was very precious.
It seems to be emitting the aroma of ink, which is the smell of money.
There were six bills in total. She looked at them over and over again, and finally carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in her bag, waiting to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things after get off work. Tomorrow she was on shift and was going to buy some cakes and go back to her parents' house to tell them about her divorce with Zhou Guoping. Thinking of Liang Baozhen and her husband's help, she bought them an enamel basin with a pair of mandarin ducks printed on the red bottom.
I knocked on the Xu family’s door and it was Xu Shengwei who opened it.
"Xiao Wei, where is your sister-in-law?"
"Inside the house." Xu Shengjie had just come back from playing and was busy telling the aunt next door, "They are arguing."
"Ah?" Liu Nianhua was a little surprised. The Xu family was very nice, so why did they suddenly quarrel? She suddenly hesitated and wondered whether she should go in and give the gift now.
"Sister Hua, you're here?" Liang Baozhen patted Xiaowei on the head and told him to go back to the house.
"Baozhen, I'm here to give you two a porcelain basin. Today I paid my first salary. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not get my job back. You must accept this porcelain basin." Liu Nianhua handed over the red porcelain basin.
The basin was surrounded by a red circle, the basin was white, and there were two jelly-like geese at the bottom of the basin. Liang Baozhen took the porcelain basin and thanked her. She was really happy for Liu Nianhua, "Thank you, Sister Hua. I won't be polite this first time. You can get more salary in the future."
"Good luck to you!" Liu Nianhua remembered what Xiaowei had said just now. At this moment, he also heard the noisy noise coming from the house and asked with concern, "What's going on in your family? Why are you quarreling?"
Speaking of this, Liang Baozhen got angry. Liang Zhiqing's family still wanted to stay in her house. She just said something stern, asking them to leave early tomorrow morning. Fang Yuehe and Liang Zhiqing raised their voices and accused her of being a young man with no manners...
"Nothing, some relatives are visiting. I'll tell you when I have time."
The shame of the family is really hard to describe. After seeing Liu Nianhua off and carrying the enamel basin back to the house, Liang Baozhen heard Fang Yuehe's sharp voice as soon as she walked into the living room, "Xiao Xu, I'm not saying this, you and Baozhen have been married for half a year, and you still haven't gotten pregnant. Baozhen's belly is really disappointing. Auntie has a recipe here. Let Baozhen take it, and I guarantee she will get pregnant right away!"
This was the first time Liang Baozhen heard someone say this about her and her face turned red, half out of shame and half out of anger. Her own mother had never asked about these things, so what was Fang Yuehe's basis?
Rushing into the house, Liang Baozhen saw that everyone in the house looked unhappy.
"What are you talking about!"
Xu Shengjie's face was livid. Even if these three people were Liang family relatives, they were too much. "This is our family's business. You are really meddling too much."
Even Zhou Yun couldn't stand it. How could they insult others like that? If you didn't know better, you would think they were kind. "You are Baozhen's uncle and aunt, how can you say such things! What kind of things are these? We don't want them!"
Zhou Yun, who was always amiable, rarely got angry. He looked gloomy and breathed heavily. "We treated you well, but you came here to pick a fight? When Xiaojie and Baozhen have children is their own business. What does it have to do with you?"
If Baozhen were labeled as childless by the couple, once the news got out, Baozhen would be criticized so much!
Although she said she didn't care, as they had only been married for half a year, what was the big deal? But how could a woman stand such insults? Cheng Caili and Lu Yuan, a couple in the courtyard, had been married for several years but had no children. Many people said behind her back that Cheng Caili was an old hen that could not lay eggs. Most people would cry to death after hearing such words.
Fortunately, Cheng Caili had a strong temper and chased after him with a kitchen knife in hand. After such a commotion, at least no one dared to mention those words again, at least not in public.
If Baozhen accepts the medicine today, wouldn't it be confirmed that she can't have a child?
"Grandma Zhou, why do you talk like that? We are all doing this for the good of your Xu family! Don't you want to have a grandson? It's been half a year and you still haven't gotten pregnant. Isn't it because there's something wrong with Baozhen's body? I said at the beginning that she is so thin, her butt is not big, and she only knows how to study. How can she be fertile? And you guys still like her..." Fang Yuehe felt that this family was really blinded by greed. Why didn't they know how to be picky!
Liang Zhiqing is the eldest in the Liang family. He has always been the one who educates his younger brothers and sisters. After the Liang family's grandfather and mother passed away, he became the head of the family. He felt that the younger generation should not talk back, and even his in-laws should respect him.
"Grandma Zhou, Yuehe is doing this for your family's own good. My third brother's family didn't raise their daughter well. She has been married for so long but still hasn't given birth to a child. How can this be possible? If it happened in our village, they would have been scolded a long time ago."
"Brother-in-law, although I am not Baozhen's biological brother, I am still her cousin. We are brothers. My parents are doing this for your own good. You also want to have a baby sooner, right?"
"Get out." Xu Shengjie's eyes gradually turned cold as he listened to these dirty words. He stared at the three people with his black eyes, then stood up and threw all their luggage out. If he hadn't taken into consideration that they were members of the Liang family, he would have really wanted to throw them out as well.
He had endured it before only for the Liang family's face, but now that these people were slandering Baozhen, he was not going to endure it any longer.
"Hey, why are you like this!" Fang Yuehe didn't expect Xu Shengjie to suddenly turn hostile. She was thinking of doing a big favor for the Xu family. After Liang Baozhen took the medicine and gave birth to the child, wouldn't it be her family's greatest credit? With this credit, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a job in the city, right? "We are Baozhen's uncle and aunt!"
"I don't care about your uncle and aunt. This is the Xu family. How dare you treat my grandson's wife like this?" Zhou Yun threw the medicine bag on the table out. It rolled on the ground for several meters and finally flew far away and landed in the corner of the wall.
Liang Zhiqing and Liang Baogang wanted to argue a few more sentences, but they felt timid when they saw Xu Shengjie's fierce eyes. That strong body and those solid and powerful fists were no joke.
He is a veteran!
Standing at the door, Liang Zhiqing was furious, "Baozhen, if you really chase your uncle's family out today, I wonder how your father will live in the village in the future? His good daughter actually treated your uncle's family like this! Even if I say it to the sky, it's unreasonable!"
"Baozhen, why are you like this now? There are no buses back to the village anymore, and you kicked us out even though it's so cold. Do you want to freeze us to death?"
"You!" Liang Baozhen was furious after listening to Liang Zhiqing's threatening words. Seeing that Xu Shengjie was leaning forward with his fists clenched, and was about to start a fight, she hurried to stop him. She didn't want her man to be branded as someone who beat up a member of the Liang family, as that would make him feel unreasonable.
Zhou Yun had never seen such unreasonable relatives before, and he was so angry that he was breathing heavily. It was freezing cold now, and he really couldn't kick the person out, otherwise what would happen if someone died? But it would be depressing to let the person in!
"Uncle and aunt, how did you get into the city this time? Did you get a letter of introduction from the captain?" Liang Baozhen watched Fang Yuehe packing her luggage with a sharp gaze. When she saw the letter of introduction, she suddenly remembered something. It was impossible for the captain to issue them a letter of introduction that was valid for more than one day, because these three people had no legitimate reason to stay overnight in the city.
As for coming here, that is impossible. In that case, the captain will definitely tell his parents first and ask what is going on.
I guess they found an excuse to go into the city to buy things and quickly came back home to avoid being questioned by the police.
"Of course it's the letter of introduction written by the captain himself!" Fang Yuehe shook the letter of introduction, speaking with confidence.
"Then it only says until yesterday, right? You should have returned to the city yesterday. You are still staying in the city now. You are considered blind drifters."
Fang Yuehe's eyes became obviously flustered when she heard this. She hid the letter of introduction behind her, swallowed her saliva, and softened her tone of voice. "What are you talking about? We have been issuing letters of introduction for two days... No, it's three days!"
Seeing their expressions, Xu Shengjie knew what was going on. He exchanged a glance with his wife and smiled, "Uncle, aunt, you are right. We cannot let you wander the streets in this freezing weather, right..."
Listening to his niece's husband's words, Liang Zhiqing nodded repeatedly. This man was sensible and sensible. He frowned at Liang Baozhen and said, "Baozhen, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You are a family member but you don't know how to help your family. You should listen to your man more in the future."
Xu Shengjie didn't finish his words, "I'll show you a good place, with tiles and walls, which can shelter you from the wind and rain, and also provide food."
"Ah?" Liang Baogang was curious, "Where?"
"The Blind Flow House."
......
Xu Shengjie mercilessly notified the police to come to check. The date on the letter of introduction in Fang Yuehe's hand clearly stated that she had entered the city and returned on the same day. Now it was already the second day, so she was considered a blind migrant.
Liang Zhiqing and the other two cried and begged for mercy but it did not change their fate of being taken to a migrant worker's home for interrogation and criticism.
Before leaving, Liang Zhiqing yelled at Liang Baozhen, "Baozhen, is this how you treat me?"
Liang Baozhen replied, "Uncle, I listen to my husband. He said he wants to send you to a refugee camp, and I can't persuade him."
......
"Baozhen, your idea is good." Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief and felt finally calm.
"I also cheated them, but I was exposed as soon as I cheated." Liang Baozhen breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to ask someone to pass a message back to her parents to prevent her uncle's family from filing a complaint first.
"They have been taken to the migrant worker detention center this time. They will probably stay there for two or three days to be questioned and educated. Then the police will ask the comrades from the Red Flag Commune to sign to pick them up and send them back." Xu Shengjie had comrades in the police team, so he knew the process.
"Then the commune officials will be furious?" Liang Baozhen could already imagine how her uncle's family would be criticized when they returned. This would affect the reputation of the commune. "And the team leader will definitely not give them letters of introduction anymore. They won't be able to enter the city in the future."
Xu Shengwei and Xu Shengya, who were ordered to go back to the house, heard what the adults said and felt that they had won. They quickly ran out and said, "Great! We are finally leaving!"
