Li Chunyan: “…” You bunch of heartless people, I haven’t even opened my mouth yet, why are you so impatient?
Jiang Shushu: "..." And this is what I've gained? It's best to leave Jiangjia Village, so I can feel more at ease. But if I were Li Chunyan, I definitely wouldn't leave. I'd stay at the educated youth camp. Even if I couldn't do much, at least I could get some information.
Li Chunyan pretended to be sad and embarrassed, "Captain, it's not convenient for me to go home, and there's no one to take care of me if I go back. I'd better stay at the educated youth camp to recuperate. If there's not enough food, I can exchange it with the team for some money."
"Food is easy, but who will take care of you?" Whether it's food? Or people taking care of you? The brigade can't take the responsibility for either. If this precedent is set, other educated youth will surely follow suit.
Li Chunyan looked at Zhang Meihua and the other two. Zhang Meihua and the other two did not say anything, but turned their heads silently to the other side.
None of the three wanted to be the scapegoat, after all, they had only just met Li Chunyan.
Li Chunyan secretly resents and keeps this grudge in her heart.
We live under the same roof, so why are you all so cold-blooded? What's wrong with taking care of me? Humph, I'll remember this grudge today. If you need help in the future, even if you beg me, I won't help you.
Li Chunyan looked at Sun Yun, who was in the worst condition. "Xiao Yun, I'll give you 3 yuan. Could you please take care of me for a month? Help me cook when it's my turn, and before I can't leave, just help me serve food and collect dishes. It will only take about half an hour a day, so it won't take up much of your time."
When Sun Yun heard that there was three dollars to be paid, he immediately nodded in agreement with a smile.
Jiang Shushu sighed in his heart, alas, it was just as he expected.
Jiang Shushu went home and immediately told Li Chunyan about her fall and sprained foot.
Jiang He nodded in satisfaction. "That's good too. This way she won't be thinking about our house for a while. Once we check the vegetable garden, we won't be afraid of her anymore."
Jiang Shushu looked around the house and said, "Dad, our house is so close to the vegetable garden. Could there be good things underneath? Should we dig some?" This would be a good opportunity to check for any safety hazards.
Mr. Jiang: “…” After my daughter dug out the gold, she realized there were treasures everywhere!
"There's no need to dig in our house. There's nothing there. When we built this house, your father and I planned to live in it until we died, so we used good materials and laid a foundation. Therefore, the ground beneath the house we live in now has been dug up. There's no way there could be anything there."
"Is that so? Then we won't dig."
Early the next morning, the crowing sounds came one after another, and slowly, the whole village became lively.
Jiang Shushu and Jiang He did the same thing as yesterday, one with a shovel and the other with a hoe, and they started digging the ground.
Jiang Shushu immediately dug the chicken coop again. Jiang He was an experienced farmer, so Jiang Shushu was afraid that Jiang He would notice that it had been dug recently. The father and daughter dug for over an hour but found nothing.
Jiang He: "That's all for today. Are there still 6 or 7 square meters left? Dad can finish digging tonight and tomorrow morning."
The father and daughter filled the hole, one went to work as usual, and the other went to work as usual, leaving Xu Hehua at home to look after the house.
Shen Feng, who was far away in the provincial capital, received a letter from Shen Yijun. She originally thought it was a letter to thank her, but it turned out to be a letter full of complaints and requests for help, which made Shen Feng angry and anxious.
"Those two old fools are getting ahead of me. I've already humbled myself and promised to bring their grandson back to see them. What else do they want?"
After Jiang Mingli came home from get off work, Shen Feng brought up the old topic again, but this time she was smarter and did not lose her temper. Instead, she persuaded him gently and thoughtfully, even bringing her two sons with her and asking them to ask Jiang Mingli to help Shen Yijun. But no matter what she said or how she persuaded, Jiang Mingli never gave in.
Chen Feng had no choice but to go home and ask Li Zhu to find a solution. Li Zhu asked Chen Zhong to persuade Jiang Mingli.
For the sake of his grandson, Chen Zhong swallowed his pride and went to find Jiang Mingli. With the same problem, wave after wave of people came to persuade him. Jiang Mingli felt as if he had eaten shit. He felt terrible and disgusted.
Jiang Mingli suppressed his anger, sadness and grievance flashed across his face... "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't make the decision for my parents. I also called to ask and persuade them, but it's no use. They even scold me now. When my mother came to take care of my children, Xiaofeng looked down on the villagers and got along very unpleasantly with my mother. Later, my mother fell ill due to exhaustion, and my father even hated me. In addition, the pension money I asked Xiaofeng to send to my parents in the past few years, they didn't receive a penny, and they are even more dissatisfied with my husband and me. Now, let alone asking them to take care of outsiders, I don't even know if I can even get in when I go home." Jiang Mingli originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful to perfunctory Chen Zhong, but his eyes turned red as he spoke.
Chen Zhong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In the end, the conversation between the father-in-law and the son-in-law ended in vain.
When Chen Zhong returned home, Li Zhu immediately greeted him, "Old man, what happened? Did Mingli agree to go back to the village to persuade his parents?"
Shen Zhong said nothing and shook his head.
Li Zhu was very angry. "Jiang Mingli is really getting too cocky. You haven't even retired yet, but he's already started to look down on you. What an ungrateful person."
Shen Zhong said with a serious face, "As a father, I can't interfere in my daughter's affairs. Let me ask you, how does Shen Feng treat her parents-in-law?"
Li Zhu smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Feng treats her parents-in-law very well, why are you asking this?"
Chen Zhong saw Li Zhu's expression and knew she wasn't telling the truth. "How good is that? So good that their parents-in-law don't want to bother with them now? If you still want your grandson to have a good life in Hualing Brigade, then tell me what you know."
Seeing that Shen Zhong was really angry, Li Zhu didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he told him what happened more than two years ago and the matter of the pension money.
"She, Chen Feng, is really capable. Why doesn't she go to heaven? If I were her father-in-law, I would definitely slap her hard." As soon as Chen Feng got married, she had a firm control over Jiang Mingli, asking him to always put Chen Feng first and his family first. He thought that he was better than his mother, but he didn't expect that he was even dumber than her mother. He had played a good hand of cards badly.
She actually used oppression of her parents-in-law and deception of her husband to consolidate her position in the family. This is putting the cart before the horse, and if she had the ability to cover it up, it would be fine. But she didn't have the ability, and still did it. She is really stupid. Now that both sides have communicated, she, the middleman, is in trouble.
From Jiang Mingli's tone just now, he must have known that Chen Feng had embezzled the money. This matter had to be resolved. He also planned to use Jiang Mingli's help to help Yijun find a job in two years, but he couldn't let Chen Feng's matter ruin his plan.
