After being scolded by the fourth brother, Jiang Chunming felt that he was a bit reckless. The woman only said her name and was unwilling to say anything else. It was a bit rash for him to pick her up like this.
After hesitating for a long time, he told He Xiuyun and Jiang Jianguo about the matter.
The two were stunned after hearing this!
After a long while, He Xiuyun sighed, "She is a poor person, so let her stay in the house for one night."
It's late at night, and if something happens to them, it would be a case of good intentions leading to bad results.
This is settled for now.
When Jiang Yuyang and Jiang Yuping saw their younger brothers, they excitedly hugged each other and shouted and made noises. The boys were playing wildly in the yard, and the noise almost blew the roof off the house.
But such noise makes people happy!
"Chunming, you said you came to the county, why don't you come home?" Several adults were sitting in the yard chatting, and He Xiuyun looked at Jiang Chunming with resentment.
Jiang Chunming lowered his head. The light bulb under the eaves of the main house emitted an orange light. The dim light concealed Jiang Chunming's emotions.
Jiang Jianguo opened his mouth to say something, glanced at the boss, sighed, and finally said nothing.
"Jiang Chunming, it's just a divorce and the death of your ex-wife. Do you think you're as miserable as if your whole family is dead?" Jiang Chunlin angrily called out his elder brother's name. His village bully spirit was immediately aroused by Jiang Chunming's dying look.
"What's the matter? Wang Dan died and your heart died with him. Now you are starting to distance yourself from us. Can you bear it?"
He Xiuyun glared at Jiang Chunlin, "How disrespectful!"
Jiang Chunlin didn't care. "I've been like this since I was a child, and Jiang Chunming is used to it."
He Xiuyun, "..."
Jiang Chunming, "..."
He Xiuyun sighed and patted Jiang Chunming's arm. "Although what Lao Si said was unpleasant to hear, it was reasonable. There is nothing in life that you can't overcome. As long as you can stand firm, there will be no obstacles that you can't overcome.
Mother won't force you now. If I want to take another wife, just tell me and I'll ask someone to find one for you. If you don't want to get married again, you can just live with the two boys."
"Chunming, your mother is right. Yuyang and Yuping are still young. Do you intend to keep your head down like this forever?" Jiang Jianguo spoke bluntly. After all, they were all family and there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing that Jiang Chunming didn't say anything, Jiang Chunlin stretched out his leg and kicked his calf.
"What? You think you're right to divorce? Do you want the whole family to coax you?"
"No." Jiang Chunming looked up with red eyes as he looked at his two sons who were playing.
"I feel so sorry for Yuyang and Yuping."
Since Wang Dan's death, he often dreamed about her and the days when they lived together as a family of four.
Wang Dan is not a reliable mother, but at least the two boys still have a mother.
He also often wondered if he had not divorced Wang Dan, she would not have died.
"Stop!" Jiang Chunlin saw what Jiang Chunming was thinking and slapped him hard on the shoulder, almost making Jiang Chunming sit on the ground.
"Wang Dan's ending is her own fault. It has nothing to do with you. Although Yuyang and Yuping don't have a mother, they are not lacking in love. We all love them!"
"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is right, this has nothing to do with you." He Xiuyun also reacted, and at the same time felt very sad. She didn't expect the eldest brother to think this way.
"Brother." Shen Qinghe, who had been silent, looked at Jiang Chunming and said quietly, "If time could go back and you and Wang Dan had not divorced, what kind of life would you be living now?"
What kind of life are you living now?
Jiang Chunming stared at Shen Qinghe blankly, and thought about what she said.
If Wang Dan hadn't died, she would have given all the good things in the house to her parents' family. Yuyang and Yuping would have a mother only in name, but in reality they would be more pitiful than having no mother at all.
Now they have no mother, but he tries his best to earn money to ensure that they have meat once a month and that they can wear cotton clothes in winter, which may have patches but will not keep them cold.
But if Wang Dan still lived with him, the money he earned and the cotton saved by the family would never be spent on Yuyang and Yuping.
At this moment, Jiang Chunming completely understood.
He looked at Shen Qinghe gratefully, "Qinghe, thank you!"
Shen Qinghe knew that he had thought it through, and smiled and shook her head.
Immediately, Shen Qinghe asked Jiang Chunming about exchanging chicken feathers for sugar.
When talking about this, Jiang Chunming shook off his previous dejection and became more confident.
"I didn't expect candy to sell so well. Most families don't have money to buy candy for their children, but most families raise chickens, and have scrap copper, iron, and old clothes and shoes. I can make a lot of money by selling these at the scrap collection place in the county."
He Xiuyun listened with relief. After they all moved to the county, she didn't say anything, but she was actually very worried about the eldest brother.
I was afraid that he couldn't take care of the two boys by himself, and I was even more afraid that he couldn't support them.
Unexpectedly, he found a way out himself and raised the two boys to be stronger than before.
"Brother, do you want to come to the county?" Shen Qinghe saw Jiang Chunming was stunned, and continued with a smile, "Let me analyze the benefits for you first. First, after living in the county, you can go to the villages near the county. The conditions in the villages near the county are better, and you can earn more.
Second, Yuyang and Yuping will go to school in the county, where the teaching staff will definitely be better than in the village."
"Chunming, you heard Qinghe right!" He Xiuyun nudged Jiang Chunming's arm with her elbow.
The second and third sons are smart. They do whatever the fourth son and his wife ask them to do. They don't know how to do things, and their lives are getting better and better.
The eldest brother is a stubborn old man and can't think flexibly.
If he had listened to Qinghe, he would now be working in Guanghua Garment Factory like the second and third brothers.
Jiang Chunming was somewhat moved. He would not have taken this seriously in the past.
If a kid has a promising future, he will be successful no matter where he studies. If a kid has no promising future, he will be a waste even if you send him to Beijing.
But when he went from village to village to exchange sugar for other things during this period, he clearly felt that there were great differences between the villages.
In some villages with better conditions, eight out of ten parents will let their children exchange things for candy.
In the villages where conditions are poor, he could only shout at the top of his lungs to lure out the greedy children, who would stand not far away and watch him drooling.
If he earned some money that day, he would cut a piece of candy with a knife and feed it to the children. When he saw the honest smiles on their dark faces, Jiang Chunming felt it was worth it.
But he had to make money after all, not only to support Yuyang and Yuping, but also to take good care of them.
Everyone has a competitive spirit. Although he lives in the countryside, he also wants his two children to eat well, wear good clothes and use good things like the second and third children.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't let Yuyang and Yuping live the same life as Yuhua and the others.
"Okay, I'll move to the county too!" Jiang Chunming said.
He Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief. This stubborn old man finally came to his senses.
