"You three, get up quickly. The ground is cold. Don't catch a cold. I'll take you to find your grandma now." After the captain said this, he took the three children back to the Huang family's old house.
When the villagers saw the team leader coming with Huang Yuelan and two others, they knew that something good was going to happen. After all, Old Lady Fang was well-known for her strong and overbearing style. Most of them followed the principle of less trouble is worse than more, so they dared not speak out and refused to argue with her. But now that they had met the team leader, they wondered if she could still act so arrogantly.
Everyone was a qualified spectator. Some pretended to pass by, while others went to the house to get a broom and then came out pretending to sweep the floor in front of the door. In fact, they were just watching the excitement of their family.
The captain knocked on the door, but there was no response. He then shouted a few times, and the person inside immediately ran out to open the door.
“Here it comes!”
When Mrs. Fang opened the door and saw the captain, she smiled and asked, "Captain, what brings you to our house?"
The captain glanced at Huang Yuelan and her brother and said, "Nothing else. Did you take all the compensation money from Huang Yuelan's father? I hope you can return the part that belongs to them. The three of them are now without a father or a mother and are very pitiful."
When Old Lady Fang saw Huang Yuelan and her brother, her expression changed immediately, and her lips pouted so much that they could tie a cow.
"Captain, you don't know the real situation of our family. The three siblings eat, drink and wear for free at home every day, and I am in charge of all these. It's a huge sum of money." Old Mrs. Fang argued cunningly. In short, she was unwilling to pay a penny of the compensation.
Huang Yuelan immediately retorted after hearing this: "We three siblings are not eating and drinking for free. Our father used to send money home every month. Besides, you didn't give a penny of the several dozen yuan I got for my engagement. Since my father died, I haven't bought him a good set of clothes. You didn't let me go to school, and you let us eat vegetable dumplings, which didn't cost much money. Besides, I usually work to earn work points, and my brothers collect firewood and carry manure. How can we eat and drink for free?"
"How can you talk like that, little girl? Have we raised you to this age in vain? You just keep talking nonsense here." If the captain hadn't been standing there, Old Lady Fang really wanted to go up and give Huang Yuelan a slap in the face, and then scratch her face. However, she was also puzzled. How could this little girl, who was usually good-tempered and allowed others to do whatever they wanted, become so eloquent today?
Although Old Lady Fang made many excuses, the captain was a smart man and would not be fooled by her words. Just by looking at the way Huang Yuelan and her two siblings were dressed, which looked almost like refugees, he knew who was lying.
Although everyone is generally very poor nowadays and the children don't have enough food and clothing, the three siblings stand out in the crowd. You can tell at a glance that these three children don't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. Their clothes are patched and very thin and can't keep out the cold at all. But it seems that the three siblings are used to the cold, which shows that it has been like this for a long time.
In this situation, who is right and who is cruel is obvious at a glance unless you are stupid.
"If you don't want to give it, I can only ask the police to come over. But then it won't be as simple as our communication. I hope you can think about it carefully." said the captain.
When Old Lady Fang heard that the captain was serious about it, she immediately became timid. She knew the consequence would be that she would be judged by the whole village.
"Captain, don't take it seriously. I was just complaining. Who said I wouldn't give it? I was just afraid that those kids would spend it recklessly, so I helped keep it for the time being. Since they want to take it for themselves, I'll take it now." After saying that, Old Mrs. Fang took out the compensation money belonging to Huang Yuelan and her two siblings.
Huang Yuelan counted the compensation money in her hand, one hundred and sixty yuan. Although it was forty yuan short, her grandmother also had the right to share the compensation, so she thanked the captain.
Seeing that Old Lady Fang took out all the compensation that Huang Yuelan and the others deserved, and not a penny less, the captain stopped talking. After all, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and some family disputes should not be intervened too much. After dealing with this matter, he left.
The three of them had just walked a few steps when Old Lady Fang said at the door, "You are really capable. You knew to ask the captain for support. But no matter how capable you are, you are still a useless piece of junk that no one wants. You are a second-hand hen that doesn't lay eggs. You will never get married in this life! No one wants to marry you! From now on, there is no such thing as you in the Huang family. Don't enter this house again!"
Huang Yuelan turned around and was about to refute, but suddenly saw Wang Jianguo coming over and he retorted on her behalf.
"I am willing to marry her! I swear in front of everyone today that as long as Huang Yuelan is willing, I will marry her in this life!" Wang Jianguo rushed over and said to Old Lady Fang in front of the crowd.
