Chapter 227 Finding Dai Yao
Hong Xiu had just been discharged from the hospital. He was weak and only felt more comfortable after putting some clothes under him.
Su Xiaoxiao drove very steadily along the way, and it was already afternoon when she arrived at the town of Hongtou Brigade in Hongjia Village.
Chen Tang took the letter of introduction and booked three rooms to stay in.
After resting for a while, Hong Xiu asked Dai Yun to take out his package.
Dai Yun didn't know what she was going to do. When Hong Xiu found a jade bracelet from the layers of clothes, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped: "Mom, where did you get the bracelet?"
Hong Xiu lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "This was bought for me by your father. I have kept it hidden for many years and never let anyone see it."
"The two comrades have helped us so much and spent a lot of money. I don't know how much this bracelet is worth. You can give it to them later. It's not good for us to keep spending other people's money."
Although Dai Yun felt that their lives might be easier with this bracelet, when she thought about how the two aunts had really helped them a lot, she didn't feel it was a pity.
Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao came back from buying dinner and saw Dai Yun secretly putting the bracelet into their bags. They were at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
Both she and Su Xiaoxiao had jobs and were not short of money. Besides, the bracelet was a gift from Comrade Dai Sheng to his wife.
Even if Hong Xiu wanted to pay it back, he shouldn't do it at this time.
She returned the bracelet and advised Hong Xiu to keep it for himself.
The color of the bracelet is not very good, but it can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands in the future, and it is very collectible.
After listening to their advice, Hong Xiu felt helpless and thought that she was being too dependent on others.
Chen Tang changed the subject: "It only takes about an hour to drive to Daijia Village. You rest here. Su Xiaoxiao and I will go take a look first."
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon and it was still early, so she didn't recommend going to Hong Xiu's parents' home.
When Dai Sheng died, he left behind a pension, which was taken away by Dai's family.
Hong Xiu's family was dissatisfied and came to Dai's family to make trouble. Hong Xiu's family took away part of the pension in her name, while Dai's family took away Hong Xiu's job.
Therefore, Hong Xiu no longer owed the Hong family anything.
"Can I go see Yaoyao today?" Hong Xiu asked anxiously. When she left, the child was only two years old and she was afraid that he would not remember her.
Chen Tang didn't know what the Dai family was like yet, so just in case, she said to Hong Xiu, "Your body can't stand it, and if you go, the Dai family may not let you go."
If the Dai family saw that Hong Xiu loved his son and therefore raised the price, requiring them to pay to take the child away, this matter would probably take several days to resolve.
And if the Dai family treats Dai Yao well, given Hong Xiu's current situation, the child can suffer less if he lives with his grandmother. When the child is older and more sensible, and she has a stable job, it will not be too late to take the child over.
Hong Xiu was lost for a while, and when she thought of the people from the Dai family, she shrank her shoulders and nodded: "I understand, thank you."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Let's buy some clothes and shoes for Dai Yao. We'll come back and tell you when we meet someone in the evening."
Hong Xiu was coaxed by her and smiled shyly: "Okay."
Su Xiaoxiao had seen Shen Tang’s ability to coax people, and the corners of her lips curled up rarely.
How did that rascal He Xu manage to marry such a smart and talkative girl?
How many good things must have been done in the previous life.
People in Daijia Village eat late. The weather is very good at this time, neither hot nor cold, and everyone sits at their doorstep to eat.
Suddenly a military vehicle drove in and attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Tang stuck his head out and looked around for someone, and saw a child looking at her with his mouth open, and waved at him.
"Little friend, sister wants to ask you, do you know where Dai Yaojia is?"
The kid blushed and pointed ahead: "That blue brick house is their home."
Most of the houses in the village are made of earth bricks, and blue brick houses are rare for wealthy families in the village.
There are only three families in the whole village who have built blue brick houses.
Su Xiaoxiao saw the house in front of her that was a mixture of blue bricks and mud, and parked the military vehicle in an open space not far from them.
Chen Tang got off the car with a bag of clothes and a bag of malted milk, and saw that the car was full of people inside and outside.
As soon as the military vehicle stopped, someone ran to Dai's house to report the news.
The one who came out was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dai family. Seeing Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao in military uniforms, she looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The woman had prominent cheekbones and dark yellow skin, and looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
Chen Tang: "Sister-in-law, we are here to visit Comrade Dai Sheng's son."
The woman's eyes flickered slightly. When she saw what they were holding, she immediately smiled and rushed to grab it: "Come and see what Dai Yao is doing with his things. Hey, there's malted milk and clothes. Comrades, come in quickly."
She happily took the things back to her room and put them there, not caring whether Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao came in and sat down.
After entering the house, Shen Tang was blinded by the pungent smell of chicken shit.
The yard was a mess with things piled up everywhere, the pigpen was in the corner, the ground was covered with mud and chicken and duck shit, there was no place to step.
She was not a germaphobe, but this environment was even scarier than Hong Xiu's mud brick house.
I finally got into the main room, which was much cleaner.
The old woman who brought them in was Dai Sheng's mother. She had bound feet. She was very frightened when she saw them. She wiped them with her clothes before quietly asking them to sit down.
There were only some sweet potatoes, sweet potato leaves and a bowl of eggs on the dining table, but they had all been snatched away long ago, leaving only the residual smell.
Dai Jun, the eldest son of the Dai family, brought them bowls and poured them two glasses of water. The three children next to them looked up at them while eating.
The oldest of the three children is estimated to be ten years old and the youngest is only three years old.
Chen Tang looked at the one in the middle. She didn't look like Hong Xiu at all, but she looked like the woman who had just appeared.
She asked uncertainly, "Which one is Dai Yao?"
Before the Dai family could answer, a burst of crying was suddenly heard outside.
A short woman with a loud voice came running over, crying, "My poor nephew, your father's comrades-in-arms are here to see you. Here comes the retribution for your crimes."
Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao looked back and saw that the short woman had mud on her pants and her face was black and yellow, followed by a man and two children.
As soon as she ran in, she was angrily scolded by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dai family who came out: "Liu Aihua, I fucked your mother, and you are the one who deserves your retribution."
When Liu Aihua saw Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao, she stopped crying and asked, "Why are there two women?"
Chen Tang's face darkened, and Su Xiaoxiao said coldly: "What's wrong with women, where are the Dai Yaos?"
Although Liu Aihua looked down on the two of them for being able to accomplish anything, she cried when she needed to: "Comrade, you don't know, this evil woman has lost all conscience. Not only does she not give our Yaoyao food every day, she also occupies his house and abuses him all day long!"
"What are you talking about, you rotten woman? I didn't abuse him." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Dai family hurriedly explained: "Comrades, don't listen to her nonsense. There is no child in the family who doesn't work. My husband is the eldest son of the Dai family. He has to support an old man. Where else can he live if not here?"
"This bitch is always trying to stir up trouble! Yes, she's trying to stir up trouble. She wanted to stir up trouble before she even moved in. We should have separated long ago."
