"Oh my, who was she? Isn't she a celebrity in our family? You really bring honor to our Huang Family. Now the whole Hongqi Commune knows you and knows that you were rejected by your boyfriend because you can't have children. How can you be so capable?" Grandma said sarcastically when she saw Huang Yuelan.
His voice was an octave higher than that of an ordinary person, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't hear him and that his granddaughter was unable to have children and had been rejected by someone else.
"I don't want to marry a man like that. If you didn't want the bride price, there's no way I would marry him. It's just right that you're backing off now!" Huang Yuelan retorted angrily.
After hearing this, the second aunt curled her lips and said, "Oh, you are so ambitious. It's good enough for someone like you to have someone who wants you. But you are so picky. If even someone like this doesn't want you, who will dare to want you in the future?! I don't think any man in our Hongqi Commune would dare to marry you!"
Although Huang Yuelan was angry after hearing this, she knew that this was not the point of the matter. Her father had just died less than half a year ago. He died in the line of duty and received a large sum of compensation, but it was all taken by her grandmother, and not a penny was left for her and her siblings.
What belongs to them must come over, and they need the money now.
"Whether I have someone asking for my help is my own business and none of your business. When will my father's compensation be returned to us? That was earned with my father's life. We three siblings cannot be left without a penny." Huang Yuelan said.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Fang was unhappy. "You three stayed at home and ate and drank for free. Isn't this all money? You still want compensation? No way!"
"We are not eating and drinking for free. My father sends money back every month, and all his salary is given to you. You don't let us eat delicious food, and you only let my sister and I eat bad things. Don't think we don't know anything?!" Huang Yuelan's words have caused the surrounding neighbors to talk about it.
"Oh my god, this is too cruel, isn't it? After all, they are my grandchildren!"
"That's true, but food is so precious, so we should save as much as possible. It would be more cost-effective to starve to death a few people who have no parents and don't work."
"But we have to give her father compensation!"
"Oh no, my father is dead, my mother died a long time ago, who will take care of me?!"
Seeing the neighbors talking there, the guilty old lady Fang, who was Huang Yuelan’s grandmother, said angrily: "Get out of here quickly, the farther the better, and don't let me see you again!" After that, she closed the door.
"Sister, what should we do now?" The two younger brothers looked at her helplessly.
Huang Yuelan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find the captain together. If the captain won't handle it for us, we'll go directly to the president and we must get our father's compensation back."
When the neighbors saw Huang Yuelan and her family, they felt very sorry for them, but pity alone was of no use. They could only offer psychological sympathy but not material help. After all, everyone is in a difficult situation now, with food shortages. They can’t even take care of themselves, so how can they have extra food to help others?
What's more, this is not just to help one person, but three people! Three children are at the age of full growth, they eat a lot, no one can afford to feed them.
Huang Yuelan brought her two younger brothers to the team leader's house, where Fan Ming was reading documents. Fan Ming was the team leader of the first production team of Hongqi Commune. He dropped out of high school and was called back to be the team leader in his first year of high school.
High school education is not considered a high level of education in later generations, let alone dropping out, but at that time it was definitely considered an excellent student. There were only a few people in a village who could finish junior high school, and even fewer who could be admitted to high school.
Team leader Fan Ming's usual behavior was really a pride for the top students. He always judged things fairly, clearly and impartially. More than 90 percent of the people in the production team respected him.
Captain Fan Ming saw Huang Yuelan and her two brothers coming to see him. He also knew their situation, that they were without a father and a mother and were very pitiful, so he asked, "Yuelan, what do you want to see me for?"
"Captain, my sister and I were driven out by our grandma. It's not a big deal. We can find ways to survive on our own. But my grandma didn't give us a penny of the compensation my father paid for his life. I beg the captain to make a decision for us three orphans without a father or a mother. Otherwise, we three siblings will starve to death on the streets." After saying that, Huang Yuelan pulled her two brothers to kneel down.
Fan Ming knew that his three children had a very hard life, and now that their grandmother had driven them away, how could they live like this? He had to avenge the three kids.
What's more, Old Lady Fang is quite famous in their village, but she is famous because of her bad reputation. She often quarrels with people and is quite unreasonable. She has a very bad reputation.
