Chapter 89
The New Year celebration in Wanyuan County is different from that in Jingshi and Xichuan.
But if you ask Yu Yao to explain the difference, she can't tell. It feels a bit like celebrating the New Year in her hometown when she was a child.
At this time, there are still no fireworks or firecrackers, or even window decorations or other ceremonial things. Everyone just eats their own New Year's dinner behind closed doors.
There were many people and it was quite lively.
There is one particularly rare thing, except for Uncle Zhao who came back to the factory on the 29th to take a look, everyone here is temporarily out of work, unlike when Gu Qing was in Xichuan, who always had to think about his mission. After returning to Beijing, my parents would occasionally have work come to them.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Yu Yao and Yu An drank some wine together.
It was just a little bit. Yu Yao was already groggy when she went to sleep.
What does it mean to be drunk and timid? When Gu Qing saw Yu Yao like that, he was so amorous that he woke up the next day, and Yu Yao didn't want to talk to him on New Year's Day.
In the second year of junior high school, Jiang Limei brought several members of the Yu family back to Qingyang Village, and Gu Qing and Zhao Tian also went with them.
Although they were planning to sever ties with Qingyang Village, Yu's father's tomb was still in Qingyang Village. On a day like this, they should go back and pay their respects.
On the way, Jiang Limei was obviously not in a good mood. Yu Yao took her arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, tell me about Dad."
In fact, Yu Yao still has some memories of her father.
In my impression, he was a very kind person, always smiling when he met people. Anyway, he had nothing to do with the Qin family that Yu Yao had heard about, and was also very different from the Qin Dynasty.
To the point that Yu Yao began to doubt whether the memory was real or just an illusion created by combining the original memories in her body.
"Mom, I want to listen too." Yu An has grown up now and speaks less. He is not as lovable as before, but his childish nature can still be seen when he speaks.
Children tend to show their emotions openly; one look at their eyes reveals their desire for family affection.
"Your father, he is a..." Jiang Limei looked at the scenery outside the windshield, as if she was lost in memory. After a long while, she said, "He is a very stubborn person."
Yu Yao and the others didn't expect that her first comment would be this.
Their father's name is Yu Wen, and he was picked up and brought home by Jiang Limei.
"In fact, I always felt that he was not a simple person. When he wanted to marry me, I was actually very hesitant."
It turned out that Jiang Limei and Jiang Yugui were actually from a nearby village, but their lives were not good, and could even be said to be difficult, after all, there was no one in charge of the family. At that time, Jiang Limei was beautiful, and countless men had bad intentions towards her.
It was for this reason that she developed such a hot-tempered personality.
It’s not like she hasn’t thought about finding a man to rely on.
But in that era, no family would be willing to marry a daughter-in-law with a younger brother, because the younger brother would have to marry a wife after being brought back, and no family had good conditions.
There was no way Jiang Limei would abandon Jiang Yugui and marry someone else, so no matter how well-intentioned they were, she rejected them all.
By chance, she met Yu Wen. At that time, Yu Wen was very rude and no one would disbelieve him if he said he was a refugee from famine. However, his demeanor, words and deeds showed that he was not an ordinary person.
At that time, no introduction letter was needed when going out. He just said that he was going out to look for his relatives, but he couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time, so he could only wander around Wanyuan County.
Jiang Limei felt that he stayed just for her, but Jiang Limei didn't dare agree to be with someone like him. She didn't know anything about him. What if he came back to the city and didn't want her anymore?
At the same time, the men in the village harassed Jiang Limei even more excessively. On one hand, there was a country man who had bad intentions and tried his best but was unwilling to help her take care of her brother; on the other hand, there was a man who was gentle to her, behaved very maturely and had no messy family background. No matter who it was, they would choose the latter.
Even though the latter's tenderness is likely to disappear in the near future.
Now that she was ready to be with Yu Wen, Jiang Limei had to help him solve his household registration problem first.
At that time, Jiang Limei accidentally helped the daughter-in-law of the Yu family in Qingyang Village, who later became Yu Yao's nominal grandmother, but Yu Yao had never met this grandmother.
Jiang Limei knew that the Yu couple had no son, so she asked the Yu family to help settle Yu Wen in Qingyang Village. He became the eldest son of the Yu family who had been lost for many years and then found again. She felt that it was fate that they both had the surname Yu.
But in fact, everyone in the village knew that the Yu couple had tried every means for so many years but had not been able to have a child. Where did their eldest son T come from?
But if people insist on saying that, they have no evidence, so they just want to be someone's cheap father and do what they want.
However, what the villagers didn't expect was that the person they recognized was not the debt collector they thought he was, but a precious gold nugget.
Qingyang Village is very poor. There are few educated people in the village. The highest education level is only junior high school. Almost everything that happens in the village will be consulted by them.
Later, Yu Wen came and taught them how to better open up wasteland to grow food, how to better set traps in the mountains to catch prey, and how to build bridges and roads.
Anyway, he understands everything that the villagers understand, and he also understands things that the villagers don’t understand.
Not long after Yu Wen came to Qingyang Village, he married Jiang Limei and brought his younger brother with him.
The villagers of Qingyang Village had never seen a man marrying a wife along with her younger brother, and the Yu couple were not very happy about it at that time.
But at that time, Yu Wen was very famous in the village and he had money in his hands. The Yu couple wanted to control him, but how could they have the ability to do so?
Fortunately, Jiang Limei was still capable after she was married, and even Jiang Yugui, who was still a child, could help with the housework, which reduced the Yu couple's complaints a lot.
More importantly, the Yu family's wife, who was already quite old at that time, was pregnant. Upon asking, they found out that it was Yu Wen who went up the mountain to pick herbs for them to drink, and took them to do some exercises to improve their health.
The Yu family's lives were getting better and better, but soon Jiang Limei became pregnant.
With two pregnant women in the family, Yu Wen can still make ends meet thanks to his ability. But life is not as good as before, so Yu Wen has a harder time.
All the hard work was not in vain, as the two pregnant women gave birth to a big fat boy one after the other.
The child Jiang Limei gave birth to was naturally Yu Ping.
Unfortunately, with the birth of two children, changes gradually took place in the family.
Since children are similar, parents will naturally favor their own one.
At first, they may just be unhappy with each other over a sip of milk or an egg, but as the child grows up, such unhappiness becomes more and more numerous and serious.
The Yu family struggled to maintain this balance.
But later, Jiang Limei became pregnant with her second child, and the family's resources would definitely be tilted towards her, which naturally made the Yu couple even more unhappy.
What could they do? Yuwen was the most capable person in the family, so they could only swallow their anger.
Then something happened that really crushed this half-formed family.
□□ is here, and no matter how capable people are, they cannot resist the power of nature.
Especially since Jiang Limei was pregnant at that time.
Only those who experienced it know how miserable those days were.
Every now and then we'd hear about someone starving to death somewhere, and everyone was in panic and confusion.
Thanks to Yu Wen's help, everyone in Qingyang Village was able to hold on for a while, especially the Yu family.
But the famine did not end in a short time.
Yu Sheng was always hungry and couldn’t even have milk when he was born, and his body was even weaker.
The Yu couple kept persuading Yu Wen and Jiang Limei to abandon the child.
During this special period, there are many cases of abandoning children and the elderly, which is much better than those who directly eat people.
But Yu Wen and his wife are not that kind of people. They would never abandon their child even if they had to bleed.
Seeing that the fields had no harvest, it was obvious that Yu Wen and his family had more mouths to feed. Moreover, Yu Wen had taken food from his family to help the children in the village more than once, despite their objections. He was almost starving to death, but he still wanted to be a philanthropist. How could they tolerate this? So the Yu couple chose to separate.
Yu Wen had no blood relationship with them, so when they wanted to separate, Yu Wen and his wife had no intention of refusing.
Taking into account Yu Sheng's matter, Yu Wen agreed to split the family.
It was impossible to live a better life after the separation, after all, no one really lived a good life in that era.
Those who survived the past few years seemed to have had a layer of skin scraped off, as if all the efforts of previous years had come to nothing. Everyone was poorer than a few years ago, even the Yu family, who had a relatively good life.
Yu Yao knew everything that happened afterwards.
Yu Wen and his companion went up the mountain and asked the couple to look after Yu Ping and Yu Sheng. However, Yu Sheng had an accident at home and is still very weak.
If the couple from the Yu family had come into the house every once in a while to check on Yu Sheng, or had taken Yu Sheng to their place, Yu Sheng’s health would not have been in the state it was in later.
It was unknown whether the couple felt guilty or not, but they left Qingyang Village with their children shortly after Yu Wen's death. Therefore, Yu Yao's memory of the two people whom she called grandpa and grandma was not very clear.
"So... what happened to Dad?"
Jiang Limei had only said that their father died of an accidental illness, but she hadn't given the specific reason, at least Yu Yao didn't know.
"It was an accident. There was an accident when we were repairing the dam." Jiang Limei's eyelids drooped when she talked about this. "At that time, the higher-ups didn't want to make a big deal about it. Your...grandma and the others took the money and no one cared about it."
Yu Yao was shocked, "So they ran away with the money?" She had been curious before. She had heard that the couple had no relatives and no abilities, so how could they be willing to leave their own house, and where did they get the money to move? So that's how it was.
When someone died during the dam repair project, those people would have tried to suppress the incident if they could. Yu Yao also understood that many country folk would choose to protect themselves and not pursue the responsibility after encountering such a thing. But they actually ran away with the money that they got from Yu Wen's life.
It is really "pure and simple to the extreme"!
After they took the money and left, it was even less likely that Jiang Limei would pursue the cause of Yu Wen's death.
For someone like her, killing her is as easy as crushing an ant.
What should we do with the children in the future?
Yu Yao and Gu Qing, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other and said nothing more.
This matter must be investigated, at least the family must be found.
The car passed by the gate of the commune, drove past the brigade headquarters, and went directly in the direction of where they lived before.
Xiaojing River still meanders through every corner of Qingyang Village as usual, making the whole village seem even more peaceful.
Since they left, no cars have come to Qingyang Village for a long time.
As the car passed through the village, many people looked in surprise at the family who had not been seen for a long time.
"Is that Yu Ping?"
Although he only came back once a few years ago, many people have seen him. To them, Yu Ping now looks like a successful person, and no longer the skinny and poor boy who had difficulty finding a wife.
"This Yu family is really developed."
I don't know who made such an exclamation.
Immediately, the older generation recalled how Yu Wen looked when he came to the village. Only those of them who were older and had gone through the turmoil still remembered how much Yu Ping looked like that down-and-out young man.
Yu Wen at that time was the same as Yu Ping today. He did not look like an ordinary person, but he settled down in the village and slowly integrated into the community. Later, with his death, everyone forgot his former knowledge and bearing, and began to want to put themselves on an equal footing with people like him.
If he knew what happened to his children, he would probably crawl out of the ground and cause trouble for the entire Qingyang Village.
"Why are they back in the village? Haven't they sold their houses?"
The car stopped on the road below Yu's house, and the village chief also came over. It was mainly because he was urged to come by his wife. After all, the house has been given to his family. They don't want to go back on it, right?
"Yu Ping, why did you suddenly want to come back?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Limei with a puzzled look.
Although Yu Ping had a sullen look on his face, he quickly took out some things from the trunk and handed them to the village chief.
"Village Chief, we just got together recently. Thinking that Qingyang Village is where we grew up, we wanted to come back and take a look. This is for you. Take it back and add two dishes. We also want to go up the mountain later. Sorry to cause trouble for the village."
While he was talking to the village chief, Yu Yao and Zhao Tian were handing out candies to the onlookers. Of course, the reason they made up was just a random one, saying that Yu Yao was getting married and didn't treat everyone to candies.
She has been married for several years, and everyone knows it.
But since people wanted to give out candy, how could the villagers not be happy? They kept congratulating her, which made Yu Yao smile even more sincerely.
When the village chief heard Yu Ping say he was going up the mountain, he immediately understood that he was coming back to see their biological father.
If one does not forget his roots, no one can point out their faults.
But I am afraid that those who are jealous will go out and say nonsense, and it would be bad if some feudal superstitions are spread. It is right to be cautious.
He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can walk around freely. This village has always been your home. Come directly home to eat later. I'll ask your aunt to cook more."
The rest of the family naturally refused.
Although they have a good relationship with the village chief, it is not close enough to the point where they can go to his house and eat for free.
In the end, the village chief collected the things but was still unable to invite the guests, so he could only help drive away the villagers who were watching the excitement.
"It's over, it's all over. They just came back to have a look. What does it have to do with you? You're just watching the excitement all day long."
As they were talking, several members of the Yu family had already gone up the mountain.
Some smart people have already guessed what they came back for.
People generally turn a blind eye to such things and no one is so bored as to report them. After all, everyone has an ancestor who has passed away.
They were just reminiscing about old friends during the New Year, and they really shouldn't disturb them.
Some people just disperse when they figure it out.
But there are still some people who are unwilling to leave and just wander around. If you don’t know, you might think they are trying to steal other people’s tires.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? Jiang Yugui, what are you doing here? Go away."
The village chief saw clearly that Jiang Yugui was ruined, and he didn't want such a person to go in front of the Yu family and cause trouble for them again.
Jiang Limei and her family simply didn't want to bother with him anymore, and the younger generations were even more so.
He was obviously disgusted, but Jiang Yugui seemed not to notice. He asked, "Why didn't Yu Sheng come back?"
Several of the younger generation and his sister have returned, only Yu Sheng is missing. Could it be that he is too sick to walk, or has he already...
Jiang Yugui's face turned pale instantly.
But at this moment, someone else added fuel to the fire, "Could something have happened?"
"No...no! I'll go ask!" Jiang Yugui couldn't believe it.
Although he had never had a good relationship with Yu Sheng, he was his nephew. If he died, how could he not be sad, especially since he had a lot to do with it.
At that time...he already knew that he had done something wrong, and it was extremely wrong.
"Come on, they didn't come to see you because they don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, so don't go after them and cause trouble."
Chandler was really fed up with this man. Problems kept coming one after another, and even his son didn't recognize him anymore. Chandler was really worried that he would do something unreliable again.
Yu Yao and the others did not burn any incense or paper before going to the grave. It was just a formality. Everyone knew that they just cleaned the grave and then paid their respects, leaving Jiang Limei alone there talking to Yu Wen.
Yu Wen’s tomb is located in a remote mountain area, but just past that place is the thatched hut where Cao Guifang lived.
When these people met Cao Guifang, both sides were stunned.
Yu Ping took the first step and walked past Cao Guifang without any intention of greeting her.
The eldest brother had already made the decision, so the rest of them naturally followed suit and walked past her one after another.
But she suddenly said, "Ah Yao."
Yu Yao stopped and turned to look at her without saying anything.
To be honest, Cao Guifang looks a bit pitiful now. She lives in a shabby house that the villagers don't even want to look at, and her clothes are covered with patches.
But the basket in her hand contained a fresh cabbage, which looked pretty good.
But now she probably can only eat cabbage.
Yu Yao didn't think Yu Ping had gone too far at all.
It was Cao Guifang's fault in the first place. No matter how much she regretted it, she could not make up for the mistake she had made.
At least that's the case from Yu Yao's perspective. If Yu Yao hadn't traveled here, her original self would have started her tragic life because of marrying Liu Yang, and the Yu family would have fallen into desolation.
Even if she couldn't become rich, she could still be a tyrant in the village all her life. How could she have such a good thing?
Thinking of this, Yu Yao lost her patience and asked, "What's the matter?"
"At that time...at that time, it was my aunt who let you down. I hope you can forgive me."
Everyone present sighed when they heard this.
Everyone saw her expression at the time. No matter whether she really knew she was wrong, or was just saying it casually, or wanted them to help her out of trouble, they would not pay any attention to her.
"Our family has severed ties with Jiang Yugui. You are not my aunt, and what happened in the past is in the past." Yu Yao only said that it was in the past, but did not offer any forgiveness.
She was not qualified to speak for the original body.
"Let's go." Yu Ping seemed to not want her to get involved too much with Cao Guifang, so he urged Yu Yao, and they left together.
After everyone left, Jiang Fubao came out of the house and said, "Mom, don't stand outside. It's freezing."
Cao Guifang smiled and nodded, "If it's cold, go and add more charcoal to the basin. Don't catch a cold. Don't miss your study time."
When Jiang Fubao heard her say this, he subconsciously wanted to refute her, saying that their family could hardly even afford to eat, so what was the point of studying?
But when he saw his mother's eyes, he was speechless, and thinking of the looks of those people just now, he had to admit that maybe studying can really change one's destiny.
"Okay, I get it. You can't catch a cold. If you are sick, I will definitely stay at home to take care of you, and you will definitely miss out on your studies."
Cao Guifang could also tell that her son was concerned about her, so she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I can't get sick. Let's go in quickly."
Now she didn't hate them at all for sending Fubao there for reformation. Thinking of the naughty Fubao in the past and comparing him with his current state, Cao Guifang felt that it was all worth it.
Leaving Jiang Yugui might be the best thing she has ever done in her life.
She and Fubao sat on small stools in the house. While they were warming themselves by the fire, she broke up the cabbage to prepare some cabbage soup for lunch.
Fu Bao pretended not to notice his mother's forbearing expression when she sat down. He gritted his teeth. He knew that it was Jiang Yugui's fault that his mother's health became like this now, and he would never forgive him in his life.
Yu Yao and the others didn't know what happened here after they left.
They walked around the village together as they had told the village chief and met many people on the way. Whenever they met someone, they would ask them questions such as why they came back, where they were and what they were doing now.
Everyone who could answer answered, and the few who couldn't answer just brushed it off. They didn't care anyway, so it didn't matter what they said.
Soon, almost everyone in the village knew that the Yu family had returned to the village.
Everyone is discussing.
"You didn't see that. The Yu family must be very successful out there. They look even more impressive than the leaders who came to inspect."
"Hey, who said they weren't? They were all so handsome, and I could tell from the beginning that they were not ordinary people."
"You are such an hindsight guy, why haven't I heard you say this before?"
"Why didn't I say that? Did I say that before when the remaining text was still there?"
…
The sound of discussion came into the yard from outside. Cao Meimei heard it but was a little confused about what was going on. It sounded like the Yu family was back?
What are they doing here when they have nothing to do?
She thought she had heard it wrong, but she couldn't help but want to know what happened.
So she opened the gate and asked, "Auntie, what are you talking about?"
As soon as they saw her, everyone showed contempt in their eyes. The old lady who mentioned Yu Wen said, "If you want to know what happened, why don't you go and see it?"
After saying this, she shook her head, ignoring Cao Meimei's ugly look, and sighed: "They are both young girls, but the difference is too big."
They all gossip together all the time, and the ladies immediately understood what the old lady said. Someone echoed, "Isn't it? There is always a big difference between pheasants and phoenixes no matter where they are."
After they said this, it would be a lie for Cao Meimei to continue smiling.
After glaring at those people to no avail, she thought for a moment and decided to take the key, lock the door, and walk in the direction of Yu's house.
She had thought about it many times these days, asking herself whether she regretted it, why she had become like this, and what had gone wrong.
She couldn't figure it out, but she grasped one point.
That is, all her tragedies started from when she made up her mind to seduce Jiang Yugui, and why did she want to be with Jiang Yugui?
It was because Yu Ping told her to follow Jiang Yugui at the beginning. She even suspected that this was a trap set by Yu Ping to take revenge on Jiang Yugui.
But why did he drag me into his revenge on Jiang Yugui?
I have to say, she guessed the truth just by random guessing, she is really not a stupid person.
It’s a pity that Cao Meimei’s intelligence and strength were not put to good use, otherwise such a small village would not have been able to contain her.
Cao Meimei, who was confused at the moment, just wanted to see what had happened to Yu Ping and his family.
She had lived in the city for quite a long time in the past few years, and had actually lived a good life. She didn't believe that the Yu family had changed much compared to before.
Yes.
In fact, she had already seen that the Yu family members were not ordinary people, but she was unwilling to admit it in the past. They all grew up in the countryside and had similar conditions. Why was Yu Yao better and more popular than her?
She couldn't accept it before, but now she has to accept it.
She herself married an old man who had been married for the second time and had accomplished nothing, while Yu Yao married a powerful military officer. After all, the gap between them was too big, so big that she felt she could no longer compare them.
But she wanted to see if a country girl who married a military officer could really live such a good life. Family disparity existed no matter what. As long as she could see that Yu Yao was a little bit reluctant, she would lay two eggs tonight to celebrate.
Although she can no longer compare herself with Yu Yao, she can still compare herself with Yu Yao with the image of a successful girl in her imagination!
However, when she saw Yu Yao, who was still dazzling among the others, the last bit of hope in her heart was crushed.
Why?
Why is Yu Yao so lucky?
She doesn't look inferior even when standing in front of the factory director's daughter. Why?
Why did the officer comb her hair so tenderly?
Why?
Why is it that she has been married for so many years but there is not even a trace of aging on her body?
Why?
As soon as she appeared, Yu Yao and others noticed her.
Nothing else.
Her gaze was so scorching that even though Yu Yao didn't sense any venom in it, she couldn't ignore it.
"Let's go visit the village chief." Yu Yao ignored Cao Meimei and said to Gu Qing beside him.
She could see that the village chief was a real man.
Although the village chief would choose to protect himself in most situations, he would try his best to do good things as long as they would not harm him.
They just go and ask, and even if they don't get any answers it's better than doing nothing.
Maybe we've found a clue.
Gu Qing understood her thoughts.
The two of them said something to Yu Ping and went to the village chief's house.
As soon as they left, Cao Meimei started to think about something again.
She was not asking for anything, but she felt that she might have seen through Yu Ping's thoughts.
Just now, when she shifted her gaze from Yu Yao to Yu Ping, she figured out something.
Yu Ping obviously looks so eye-catching, and he is not an ordinary person either.
Maybe he arranged all those things.
How else to explain why he suddenly gave Jiang Yugui a job?
Anyway, if it were her, she would never give Jiang Yugui a job and money even though she hated him so much, unless the job and money were bait to cheat him.
She ignored the fact that Zhao Tian and Yu An were beside Yu Ping and walked straight up to him.
"Brother Yu, let's talk."
Yu Ping looked indifferent, "I have nothing to talk to you about."
For some reason, after hearing his cold words, she became more determined in her thoughts and said, "Do you remember what you said to me a few years ago?"
When she asked this question, Yu Ping finally looked at her and then showed a puzzled expression, "I don't remember."
"You!" Cao Meimei was furious. She didn't believe that she guessed wrong.
It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't want to talk to her, she can just talk to him directly.
As for whether what she said would affect their relationship, it had nothing to do with her.
"Qingqing is yours, right?" She kept staring at Yu Ping's face, trying to find some trace of his panic on his cold face.
She failed, and the other party didn't even blink.
However, in fact, if she just turned her head slightly and looked at Zhao Tian next to her, she could see the surprise in the other person's eyes when she asked that question.
Zhao Tian already knew that Cao Meimei was smart, but she didn't expect that she could even guess this.
"Who is Qingqing? You've asked the wrong person. I've never heard of her." Yu Ping said indifferently.
"You're lying! You're the one who found him, and you still don't admit it. How can you be so vicious? You actually schemed against your own uncle like that. You're so cold-blooded and heartless! And you don't take any responsibility at all. You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility!"
Cao Meimei had a lot of insults in her mind, but she didn't want to show her lack of quality in front of these people, so the words she said while thinking were really lackluster.
Fortunately, this time Yu Ping finally looked at her straight in the eye, but he only glanced at her and then turned his gaze to Zhao Tian, and then he smiled.
Zhao Tian also smiled along with him. In fact, Zhao Tian didn't know what his smile meant, but she knew how to cooperate with her husband.
Sure enough, her cooperation was obviously successful. Cao Meimei's expression almost collapsed, and then she heard Yu Ping's words.
"Are you trying to sow discord?"
Cao Meimei's heart skipped a beat. He had discovered all this. This was exactly what Cao Meimei wanted.
She knew that she could not get anything good from them, so she wanted to make them suffer as well.
After all, if a man can do something to his own uncle, why can't he do something to his own in-laws and his own wife?
She had heard long ago that Yu Ping was a live-in son-in-law and his wife had only one daughter.
Are there not many cases of sons-in-law harming their wives nowadays?
But he actually said it out loud!
Did he think that if he told the truth, the other party would not doubt him anymore?
Only then did Cao Meimei finally look at Zhao Tian. When she saw Zhao Tian's sweet smile, she only felt a fishy sweetness rushing into her throat. Why, why was everything different from what she thought?
"I advise you to live a peaceful and stable life and not to cause any more trouble. Jiang Yugui might not like you one day and go back to Cao Guifang. Don't forget that he still has a son there."
After hearing this, Cao Meimei's face turned pale.
If for no other reason, Yu Ping was describing her current situation.
What does he mean? Even if he is not in the village, he knows everything about the situation in the village?
This was not the first time that Cao Meimei had noticed Jiang Yugui going to Cao Guifang's side. He even wanted to give money to Jiang Fubao. If the two of them had not ignored him, he would have probably abandoned him by now.
She has always wanted to have a baby, but her belly has not moved for so long and she is almost dying of anxiety.
But now Cao Meimei doesn't want to show her weakness in front of Yu Ping and his wife.
She said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Jiang Yugui the truth?"
This time Yu Ping really laughed.
"Why am I afraid of him? Is he stupid or is he lustful?"
Cao Meimei was speechless when asked. Even if Jiang Yugui knew that everything was Yu Ping's plan, what could that piece of trash do?
Don’t you see that he regrets it now?
Cao Meimei really began to doubt her own judgment more and more.
Why on earth did she do so much?
Just to be a cheap woman laughed at by everyone in this country?
Yu Yao and Gu Qing both discovered that Cao Meimei went to find Yu Ping, but neither of them cared because Cao Meimei was no match for her eldest brother.
At this time, the two of them were already sitting in the village chief's yard.
"About your father?"
Qian Decai seemed a little confused as to why the two of them came to ask about Yu Wen, or he didn't know what they wanted to ask.
But neither of them seemed to want to explain.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the stories of the past.
What he knew was similar to what Jiang Limei said. Qian Decai was also very young at the time, and the one in charge of the village was his father, the old village chief. It was he who helped arrange for Yu Wen to settle down in the village.
Just because of this small favor, Yu Wen took good care of their family during the famine years, which is also the reason why the relationship between their two families has always been good.
Speaking of Yu Wen's contribution to the village, Qian De was full of praise. The reason why he seldom mentioned it before was because the person was gone, and talking about it would only cause Yu's family to worry in vain.
After all, the Yu family themselves never said anything about what happened, so why would outsiders say this?
Then they talked about the couple from the Yu family, and Qian De couldn't stop shaking his head.
"In the past, we have always heard about all kinds of ungrateful people who were adopted. However, the things that Yu Wen did for the Yu family were seen by the whole village, but what about them? I am really ashamed to mention it. I don't even want to say that they are from our Qingyang Village."
"Then village chief, do you know where they moved to?" Since we know there is a grudge, we will of course take revenge if there is a chance.
Unexpectedly, the village chief didn't know either. He shook his head and said in confusion, "Speaking of which, I am also confused as to why the couple suddenly left. When Yu Wen got into trouble, the villagers were a little sad. Everyone said that maybe they repented and didn't know Yu Wen's goodness at first. It was hard for them to face reality after Yu Wen left. But I don't think that's the case. How could the couple have any conscience?"
Yu Yao and Gu Qing looked at each other, and Gu Qing pretended to be puzzled and said, "By the way, I heard that my father-in-law had an accident while repairing the dam. This can be considered a work-related injury, right? Is there no one responsible or compensated?"
Although Qian Decai was a country boy, he was old enough and had seen a lot of the world, so he immediately understood the meaning of Gu Qing's words.
"You mean the couple ran away with the compensation?"
What else could he not understand?
How could there be no compensation for something like that? But it had nothing to do with his family, so he just thought they had negotiated it privately.
But now that these two people have come to ask, it means that Jiang Limei did not get any compensation back then. This is really heartless!
"We are just guessing. We don't know who would be held responsible if something like that happened."
Qian Decai looked solemn, and after a long while he said, "This matter may have something to do with the captain's family, but I'm just guessing. I'm not sure who the person in charge is, but if there is any compensation, the captain must be notified."
As he said this, he gave an example, as if he was afraid that Yu Yao and the others would not believe him.
"You see, usually the advanced brigade, various educated youth awards and so on all passed through the brigade. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, they were directly detained in the commune, but the commune generally does not do this. There are many people in the commune, and the more people there are, the easier it is to be caught if you make a mistake."
According to common sense, no matter what kind of rewards or punishments, the commune will not issue them directly to individuals, they will find the team leader.
After all, the captain is in charge of the entire brigade. No matter what happens, you should inform the captain even if you don't want to make a big fuss.
So even if it wasn't the captain who tampered with the money, he knew about it.
The more Chandler talked, the more he recalled.
"Look at the captain's family. They are the best in the village. Even if he were to scrape together money from all over the place, he wouldn't be able to make that much money. Accountant Yan is still here."
Yu Yao and the other person understood what he meant.
If the captain wanted to embezzle the team's money, it would definitely not escape the eyes of the strict accountant.
Now Accountant Yan's conditions seem OK, but how can they be as grand as the captain's family?
This is also the reason why, when the villagers saw that the captain's family lived a good life, no one questioned him for abusing his power for personal gain.
Since he doesn't have the money from the Greedy Team, where does his money come from?
"I also asked him where the Yu couple went, and he said they went to Beijing to look for relatives. But we all know that the Yu family no longer has any relatives. But since they are gone, it's up to him to say whatever he wants."
Qian Decai sighed. He didn't expect there were so many mistakes and omissions.
"At that time, he was so young. I didn't expect him to do such a thing."
Yes.
The captain of the Qingyang Brigade has been in office for more than ten years. During these ten years, he has grown from a young man to a middle-aged man.
He has been firmly in the position of captain for so many years, and no one would believe that he has no ability.
At this point, Qian Decai changed the subject and said, "Of course, these are all our guesses. It's been so long. If there is no evidence, you'd better not go to him. It will be troublesome if you need to do something."
Yu Yao felt aggrieved by what he said.
Some people just like to use chicken feathers as a token of authority.
Having been a local tyrant for so long, he really thinks that no one can do anything to him.
