Qian Chunhua was busy packing dumplings for Qingsong. Qingsong took the dumplings with a happy face and prepared to send them to his grandmother's house.
Qian's family, Wang Tai and Zhao Qing were still there. They planned to cook dumplings together to celebrate the New Year.
Suddenly, the voice of Zhang Biaotou was heard, which made Qian Chunhua's heart skip a beat.
She vaguely heard the words "compensation from the escort agency", and instantly understood the whole story.
Qian Chunhua took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and asked Qingsong and Xiaoling to deliver the dumplings to his grandmother's house.
Then, she slowly walked to the side of Zhang Biaotou, with a hint of feigned confusion in her tone: "Brother Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang, the escort leader, was furious and said angrily, "The escort agency compensated you two taels of silver. Did you know that?"
Qian Chunhua shook his head in confusion.
"Damn it, that bastard Zhao Yongqiang actually dared to embezzle our brothers' hard-earned money!" Leader Zhang roared angrily.
Qian Chunhua understood in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, ready to see how Zhang Biaotou would deal with the situation.
On that day, two taels of silver fell into Zhao Yongqiang's hands. Who would have thought that Zhao Yongqiang was a shameless gangster who dared to pocket the silver without showing any sign of guilt.
"Damn it! I'll make him spit out what he ate!" Zhang Biaotou stood up suddenly, waved his hands, and was furious. "Brothers, follow me, let's settle this account with Zhao Yongqiang!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Biaotou had already strode out of the door with big strides.
The escorts followed closely behind, filled with indignation.
They work so hard just to give their families a stable life, but they never imagined that once they die, their families will be bullied like this.
They felt the same way, not only for Zhao Yongcai, but also for their own injustice and unwillingness.
I can't swallow this insult no matter what.
Zhao Yongqiang and his wife, Zhao Cuihong, are now lying comfortably in the warm bed, enjoying the rare quiet time.
As the weather gradually turned colder, bed became the only place where they felt warm and comfortable.
In the corner of the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojuan was making dumplings while muttering in dissatisfaction.
Cuihong cried poor every day at home, saying that she had no money. This New Year's Eve, she couldn't even afford to buy some meat, and could only use cabbage and eggs to make dumpling fillings.
The number of eggs is pitifully small.
Fortunately, there is still some white flour that can be used to make dumpling wrappers.
Even if I can't eat the meat-filled dumplings I've been craving for, being able to eat white flour dumpling skins is already a kind of comfort.
Zhao Xiaojuan's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to last year.
During the Chinese New Year last year, my second uncle returned from escorting goods and brought back five kilograms of fat meat.
When it is mixed with fresh cabbage and used as dumpling filling, the aroma of the meat fills the table so well that it makes people salivate.
The cabbage and meat dumplings prepared by Second Aunt made the whole family taste delicious and fragrant.
Now when she thought of that smell, Zhao Xiaojuan couldn't help but sniff lightly, as if she could still smell the tempting aroma.
In Zhao Xiaojuan's mind, all the misfortunes in her family are to be blamed on her second aunt.
If she had not insisted on dividing the family and severing ties with her family, her grandmother would have been forced into a corner and would have finally divided their family.
Nowadays, even a simple meal of meat dumplings is no longer a luxury.
"Bang, bang, bang..." A series of rapid knocks on the door sounded next door, interrupting Zhao Xiaojuan's thoughts.
Zhao Xiaojuan leaned her head out slightly and her eyes fell on the courtyard gate.
It seemed that he was looking for the people next door and had nothing to do with her family, so she thought so and ignored it.
Zhao Yongqiang and Cuihong had warned her that what happened next door had nothing to do with her and she didn't need to ask about it.
