Chapter 180: The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger
Early the next morning.
Fan Jianguo was also worried about Liu Guizhi, and insisted on sending Liu Guizhi and the child back with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The main purpose of bringing Jiang Xiaoxiao along was to avoid suspicion, after all, Liu Guizhi is now a widow.
It was inevitable that a grown man like him, a stranger, would cause gossip in the village if he followed someone else back to the village.
Fan Jianguo can leave, but Liu Guizhi has to live in the village. If that happens, she will be criticized and would be harming others!
It’s different with Jiang Xiaoxiao.
A girl can withstand all the rumors and once someone talks about it, she becomes a witness to prove her innocence.
Jiang Yue secretly gave Jiang Xiaoxiao some money and asked Jiang Xiaoxiao to buy something for Liu Guizhi.
Looking at Liu Guizhi's appearance, one could tell that she didn't have a penny on her.
Her mother-in-law kicked her out, so how could she let her take away the family’s money!
It's not easy for a woman to raise a child, especially when she goes back to have younger brothers and sisters who are not yet adults.
Just hearing about it last night, Jiang Yue felt heartbroken. There are not many kind-hearted people these days, and they don't dare to do good things. They can't help in other ways, but since they met, even if it was fate, Jiang Yue couldn't bear to see them, mother and daughter, suffer.
Buying some things was a token of their appreciation, and Jiang Yue also prepared 50 kilograms of rice.
I'll let my uncle carry it over later. Nothing could be better than sending food at this time. After all, every household is hungry.
Even if you have money, you can’t buy food.
Although 50 kilograms of food is not much, it should be enough for the family to survive until the autumn harvest.
Jiang Yue really couldn't bear to see the little child suffer. The child was only one year older than their Niu Niu, but didn't look much older than Niu Niu.
After becoming a mother, she seems to feel the same love for every child she sees.
Motherly love overflowing.
Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly went out to buy some things.
If it was just Liu Guizhi herself, she might not be so kind-hearted. After all, there is a limit to doing good deeds every day. They were able to send the person back, let her stay here for one night, and even give her food when she left. They had already done their best.
You can't just let other people's hearts grow. After all, Liu Guizhi has accepted their kindness now. If her life is hard after she goes back, she will inevitably complain about them.
That's how people are.
But there is another person named Liu Shuren here.
Just because Liu Shuren helped me and several children in my previous life, I should help them as well.
It seems that she made the right choice by coming to find Liu Shuren.
I owed a lot of favors to people in my previous life, and I didn't look for enemies. It's not easy to deal with my enemies now, but I'll repay the favors if I can.
If I return to the city after the college entrance examination, the chance of meeting again will be slim.
At this time, Liu Shuren's family was in the most difficult situation. No matter whether Liu Guizhi would be grateful to them or resentful towards them in the future.
Jiang Xiaoxiao will always help the Liu family, as she owes Liu Shuren this.
Having a motherly heart and repaying a favor are two different things.
Even though she knew that there was great uncertainty about the future, she was still willing to extend her hands to the Liu family.
They didn't buy anything expensive. After all, given the Liu family's situation, many of the things they bought were necessities, such as ten bars of soap, two bags of milk powder, and some white sugar and brown sugar.
She didn't buy anything else.
Taking those things back would only make the villagers jealous.
Who knows, there might be others who are eyeing these things. Who doesn’t have some relatives who want to get something for free?
It depends on Liu Guizhi's personality. She is not a strong type, so it is still unclear whether she can stand up.
Who knows who will benefit from these things when they are brought back. We buy soap because it is a necessity in this era.
Soap is a necessity, and it cannot be bought with money, it requires a ticket; milk powder is bought for the child. The child is two years old, but looks like a one-year-old. If he is not supplemented with milk powder, I am afraid that he will have physical problems in the future.
The other brown sugar and white sugar were naturally brought for family members. With the 50 kilograms of rice there, it was more useful than other things.
The only thing Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried about was that if she took these things back, they might attract covetous people.
She was afraid that they had good intentions but ended up with a bad end. If they took these things back, instead of helping Liu Guizhi, they might bring disaster to the Liu family.
After all, every household has suffered from the disaster now. If they openly bring back so much food, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and make people jealous.
Besides, there is no adult in the family who can do anything. Liu Guizhi is the only adult, and the rest are just half-grown children. What use can they be?
If two strong men really came into the house, they would not be a match for each other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried.
Just as we were about to set off, a jeep arrived at the door.
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Song Moting at first sight.
"You all get in the car, put this thing in the back, I'll borrow a car from a friend and get it ready to take you there."
Song Moting jumped out of the car, took the things from Jiang Xiaoxiao, and put them directly on the back seat.
Then he sent everyone into the car and closed the door.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart moved.
Song Moting has so much power that he can even find a car.
You have to know that in 1976, people who could ride in a car were not ordinary people.
It was not like the later generations where private cars were everywhere. The cars on the streets now were only affordable for people of status.
Especially a jeep like this, which represents a symbol of status. It either belongs to the county committee or the county government, or to the military region.
Judging from the driver's appearance, he is also very familiar with Song Moting.
But it was not convenient to talk on the way, after all, my uncle and Liu Guizhi were sitting there.
Liu Guizhi looked very nervous. Who could have thought of taking a bus back to the village? She had originally thought that they could just walk back by themselves.
It returned to the village inconspicuously. That was great. How could the villagers not know that the car had entered the village?
What made her even more nervous was that she didn't know what kind of person this Brother Fan was. He actually knew so many powerful people. How could an ordinary person afford to ride in this car?
I never thought in my life that I would be able to ride in a car one day.
But if she had any other opinions, then she would be really ungrateful for the kindness of others in sending her back.
Could it be that she blames others for making such a fuss?
I was sitting in the car feeling very nervous. When the car entered the village, the villagers had already come out to watch when they saw the car.
Especially when people saw Liu Guizhi holding the child in the car, many people pointed and talked.
Liu Guizhi hugged the child tightly, her face flushed. She had never been the center of attention like this in her life.
She was driven back by her in-laws and became a widow again.
What a good news! I didn't want the villagers to know about this. But now, I guess everyone knows about it.
The car stopped in front of Liu's house. Liu Guizhi got out of the car holding the child. Song Moting and Fan Jianguo also got out of the car and moved the things in the car into the house.
At this time, the village chief came.
In their village, the production team leader and the village chief are the same person.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stood next to Liu Guizhi. She hadn't seen Liu Shuren yet. She heard that he went up the mountain to collect firewood. Although it wasn't snowing in this weather, the snow hadn't completely melted yet.
This child actually went up the mountain to collect firewood without any fear of danger.
The village chief came over directly to say hello.
"Guizhi, who are these two people?"
Those who can drive back are capable people. Besides, who doesn't know him? How could the production team leader not recognize the license plate on the car?
That’s the county’s brand.
Not just anyone can put this brand on their car.
Liu Guizhi was about to say something.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Captain, hello! We are the children of Liu's parents' distant comrades-in-arms. We heard that Liu's parents had passed away, and the family asked us to come and see them. As a result, we happened to meet Liu Guizhi on the way, so we sent her back.
I'm at Kenqing Farm, so why not come and get to know each other and become relatives in the future? My parents said that they were close comrades with Liu's parents. If we hadn't lost contact for so many years, the two families would have been considered even closer.
Who knew such a big thing would happen to the Liu family? "
What Jiang Xiaoxiao said was exactly the same.
Song Moting glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Fan Jianguo blinked.
My dear niece, you are really good at making up stories.
If I weren't your uncle and hadn't watched you all the way here, I would really believe it.
