Chapter 06 Chapter 6
Su Tianli looked at Tian Xiu with grievance, and said loudly and angrily: "Mom! I have been staying in the northwest for the past five years!"
"I was sick when I went to the countryside. Do you know that I almost died of illness?"
"The Northwest is just a desolate desert, there is nothing! I wrote back, asking you to send me some anti-inflammatory medicine... Mom, did you receive my letter? Did you send me the life-saving medicine?"
"Mom, I am also your child after ten months of pregnancy! Are you really hoping that I will die outside?" Su Tianli asked.
Tian Xiu was dumbfounded.
She wanted to say that I never received any letter from you...
But Su Tianli didn't give her any chance to speak!
"Mom, can't you understand how it feels to be alone in a foreign place without any relatives or friends and with a serious illness, almost waiting to die?"
"Luckily, I'm lucky enough to have made it through!"
"I started working after I recovered from my illness. I wrote many letters to my family, wondering what was going on. It's ok that they didn't want to spend money on medicine for me, but why didn't they even reply to my letters?"
"I'm on a farm in the northwest, and I do all kinds of work! I'm concerned about the difficulties at home, so apart from buying some toilet paper for myself, I save all the remaining money and send it home without spending a penny!"
"I sent a lot of money home!"
"But mom! I sent so many letters home, and none of them were returned, so there is no such thing as a wrong address. The money I sent home has never been sent back! So...you accepted all the letters and money!"
"But you just don't write to me! You just watch me beg you to send me some medicine over and over again in the letter but you don't want to send it... You just want me to die out there!"
"Mom, are you really going to do this to me?" Su Tianli lowered her voice and expressed a sense of despair and loss.
Su Tianli is still very satisfied with her acting skills.
Of course, if you can cry at this moment, the performance will be more perfect and the emotions will be more full.
Unfortunately, Su Tianli couldn't cry.
So her performance has no emotion, it's all technique!
But this does not affect Su Tianli's performance.
Because Tian Xiu has been scared!
Before this, Tian Xiu often scolded the second brother at home for being heartless, ungrateful, and an ungrateful person who could never be tamed.
Unexpectedly, the second brother would accuse her so angrily?
And it looks like...
The second child’s anger and grievance should not be false.
so? ? ?
Did the second brother really write back a letter and send money?!
What about the money?
Where have you gone!
After Su Tianli finished scolding, she had to make herself look like a weak person.
But she felt relieved, and she also knew that she had to leave some space at this time to give the spectators at the scene some room for discussion and comment, so she said nothing.
Tian Xiu was unable to react and was completely dumbfounded.
The scene became quiet, and the crowd's comments became louder and louder:
"Oh my, this is too pitiful! The point is that she is so young and she went on a long journey alone and got sick. It's really pitiful!"
"Tian Xiu is too cruel!"
"She is biased! She is really biased!"
"That's not right. Didn't Lao Er go to Jiangxi to work in the countryside? Why did he go to the Northwest again?!"
"Yes, Tian Xiu scolded Lao Er every day at home, saying that Lao Er was an ungrateful person and cut off contact with her as soon as she left home... But Lao Er said that she clearly wrote letters and sent money home. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Tian Xiu also wondered if there was some misunderstanding.
She said to Su Tianli, "Second Brother, we really didn't receive the letter you wrote or the money you sent! Did you... send it to the wrong place? Did you send it to your grandmother's house?"
In short, she did not receive the letter or the money.
Su Tianli said nothing and looked at Su Dejun.
When Su Dejun heard what Tian Xiu said, he got angry!
——Because what Tian Xiu meant by this was that the money was in his hands!
So Su Dejun took the evidence he found on Su Youzi's bed, threw it in Tian Xiu's face, and yelled, "Tian Xiu! What are you still pretending for? The letters sent back by the second brother, the money sent back by the second brother, were all embezzled by you and the eldest brother!"
As he was talking, all the letters, remittance receipts and the like... first hit Tian Xiu in the face, and then scattered all over the floor.
Tian Xiu was confused again.
She couldn't understand why the usually cowardly Old Su became so irritable and aggressive today.
but--
Tian Xiu still felt that it was most important to find out what was happening right now.
So she suppressed her anger, bent down and picked up the letters and remittance slips scattered on the ground.
As Tian Xiu was picking up the items, he suddenly stopped.
She looked at the envelope in her hand. It read:
[Address: Family compound of state-owned chemical plant in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, recipient Su Dejun, zip code XXXXXX
Mailing address: Ning Province 109 Youth Farm, sender Su Tianli, zip code XXXXXX]
There are two postmarks on the envelope:
One is from Ning Province Post Office, with a stamp date of November 6, 1973.
One is the Guangzhou postmark, and the stamp date is December 1, 1973.
And the envelope had been opened.
Tian Xiu took out the letter from the envelope and found the words "Ning Province No. 109 Youth Farm" were printed on the letterhead.
The letter was written by Su Tianli. The content was simple, with only a few words:
[Dad, Mom,
Hello!
It has been more than four months since I arrived in the Northwest. I have remitted a sum of money to you today. Please check it!
Although I haven't received your letter, I still want to ask again:
Wasn't it agreed that I would be sent to Jiangxi to join the production team? How did it become the Northwest? Was there some misunderstanding? !
Mom, I'm not fully recovered yet. I've been coughing a lot lately. The area around the farm is very desolate and there's nowhere to buy daily necessities and medicines. Please send me some regular medicines. I need a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicines and antipyretics.
Daughter Su Tianli,
1973, 11, 05】
After reading the letter, Tian Xiu's face looked unhappy.
She picked up another letter, which read:
[Receiving address: Xiaoyang Village, Wogou Town, Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province, recipient Su Laizi, zip code XXXXXX
Mailing address: Family compound of state-owned chemical plant, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, sender Tian Xiu, zip code XXXXXX]
There are many postmarks on this envelope:
One is the "mailed" postmark from Guangzhou, showing the date as May 1, 1973.
One is the "income" stamp of Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province, showing the date as May 23, 1973.
One is a rectangular blue stamp with the words "No such person found" on it.
One is a postmark with the words "return" and the date shown is August 1, 1973.
One is stamped with the Guangzhou postmark “original returned” and the date shown is October 1, 1973.
Tian Xiu pursed his thin lips tightly.
Of course she recognized the letter—it was written in her own handwriting!
turn out to be……
The letter was bounced???
But!
Why didn't she know that the letter was returned?
Tian Xiu took a deep breath.
She bent down and picked up another letter. After careful examination, she realized that this letter should have been sent to Lao Er by Lao Er's classmate Yao Meiyu from Jiangxi, but it was also stamped with the "No Such Person" postmark and then returned...
In this way, she picked up all the letters one by one;
Tian Xiu's expression became increasingly serious.
It was not until he picked up a remittance receipt that Tian Xiu finally became furious!
Because the remittance receipt shows:
The remitter is Su Tianli, the date is March 1, 1974, and the amount is 30 yuan;
The money was remitted to Su Dejun.
But it was written on the receipt that it was "signed by the family member" and the recipient was "Su Youzi"...
So far——
The truth is revealed!
In other words, all the letters Su Tianli wrote to her family, including all the letters written to her by others, were intercepted by Su Youzi!
Even the money that Su Tianli sent home was all taken away by Su Youzi!
At this moment, Tian Xiu felt completely betrayed!
Because she had scolded the second brother more than once in front of her family and Su Youzi, saying that the second brother was an ungrateful person!
And Su Youzi... her beloved eldest daughter never said she knew the whereabouts of the second child! She even knew that the second child had sent letters home and remitted money!
I also took the money that the second child sent back!
However, when Tian Xiu scolded the second brother in front of Su Youzi, Su Youzi also helped her scold him too!
Oh, she...
You pretend so well!
Tian Xiu bit his lower lip.
At this time, Su Dejun pointed at Tian Xiu and yelled, "Tian Xiu, the money that the second brother sent back was embezzled by you and the first brother! Where is all that money? Hand it over to me! Hand it over!!!"
It was not until then that Tian Xiu finally understood why Su Dejun had become so strong, contrary to his usual cowardice.
——It’s because of money!
"I didn't take the money." Tian Xiu said.
Su Dejun became even more excited. "How dare you say you didn't take it? The boss is in cahoots with you! If she took it, then you took it! Besides, you are a tigress... If you didn't agree to let the boss take it, how could the boss have the guts to embezzle the money?!"
Tian Xiu said anxiously: "I don't know anything about this matter——"
"I don't want to hear your excuses! Hand over the money! Hand it over! Otherwise I'll beat you to death!" Su Dejun cursed.
Su Tianli also felt that her father’s performance today was... beyond her expectations.
But why is this cowardly father, who has always been an "honest man", so strong today?
Is it because of...that Aunt Yu?
It's really intriguing.
Although Su Dejun was very brave today, Tian Xiu, who has always been strong, was not afraid at all.
She frowned and looked at Su Dejun, "Are you crazy? Can you please talk to me nicely?"
"Why would I steal this money? Even if I really got the money, not a single cent of it would be spent on this family? Besides, I didn't take this money at all!"
"Su Dejun! You have to have a conscience! Don't you think about it, if I had money, would our family have to live in such a tight situation?"
"Su Dejun, tell me yourself, isn't it because you are a loser that our family is so poor? You are a grown man, but the money you earn is not enough to pay for your own medical treatment! If you were reliable, why would our family have to eat coarse food every day?"
"This family depends on me for everything inside and outside! If it weren't for me, this family would have fallen apart long ago!" Tian Xiu started cursing.
Su Dejun was extremely angry.
His mind was now full of thoughts - if the 600 yuan sent back by the second son was in his hands, why would he have to look at this woman's face! Then he would definitely divorce this shrew and marry the gentle and virtuous Xiao Yu!
Thinking of this, Su Dejun's eyes turned red.
He raised his hand high towards Tian Xiu and said, "Stop pretending, you bastard! Hurry up and give me the money—"
When Tian Xiu saw that Su Dejun looked like he wanted to hit someone, he also got angry.
But she and Su Dejun have been married for a lifetime, and she knows that this man is a coward!
But I also felt that he was just pretending today.
So Tian Xiu put his hands on his hips, leaned his face forward, and said to Su Dejun: "Su Dejun, do you still want to hit someone?"
"Come on! Hit me here! Hit me! Hit me! If you don't hit me today, you're not a man..."
“Bang!!!”
A crisp slapping sound was heard——
There were gasps from all around.
Su Dejun stared at his red, burning palms, stunned;
Although I was angry for money,
But his cowardice and fear of Tian Xiu have long been engraved in his bones!
So he opened his mouth wide and stared at Tian Xiu blankly.
Tian Xiu kept his hands on his hips.
But he felt that he had been slapped hard on the left side of his face.
Then her cheeks began to ache and burn,
Finally, it swelled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Tian Xiu was dumbfounded.
Su Tianli really couldn't help but burst out laughing.
And quickly held it back.
