Chapter 206: Doing Good Things Has a Price
The next morning.
After Zhao Sheng woke up, he felt the softness pressing against his chest, a smile appeared on his face, and he hugged the sleeping woman and kissed her a few times before getting up to wash.
I simply packed a few clothes and went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After returning, he left breakfast with buns for Lin Yiyi as usual, and left a few words of advice in the account book, then went out with a worried look on his back, carrying his waterproof bag.
He estimated that it would take many days to return to Ze County after this trip.
Not only do you have to go to the provincial capital, you also have to visit several cities in the neighboring province.
I don’t know if I can get the last item.
After Lin Yiyi woke up, she stood up and sat on the bed. For a moment she didn't know where she was.
I've been here for a long time, but I don't know why, from time to time I always have a sense of unreality as if I'm dreaming.
He lifted the mosquito net and walked out.
He ate a few bites of breakfast before returning to the inner room, changing his clothes, pouring some hot water, and carrying the enamel basin to the sink room.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, wipe your face and comb your hair.
She was the only one left at home, with nothing to do and no one to talk to, so she did the housework carefully to pass the time.
After reading a few pages of a book, I just couldn't calm down and time passed very slowly.
I just took the money and handbag and went out.
She originally wanted to walk to the scrap yard, but the sun was too hot, so Lin Yiyi chose to take the bus.
As usual, there were a lot of people on the bus, but fortunately there was no crowding to the point where people had to stand at the door. There were men, women, young and old on the bus.
But the most eye-catching thing was a woman with a big belly.
The middle-aged woman standing next to her with a basket of vegetables should be her mother-in-law. Along the way, she heard the middle-aged woman muttering that vegetables were expensive and there was less rice and flour at home.
All the girls in the family should be sent to the countryside to be raised.
Anyway, he just disliked his daughter-in-law for not having a job and not having a city hukou, which made the whole family have to eat her food.
The pregnant woman was like a bullied young wife, nodding her head from time to time and letting her mother-in-law talk non-stop.
While the voices weren’t particularly loud, how loud could a bus be?
Lin Yiyi heard it all clearly. If Zhao Sheng hadn't told her about the relevant policies, she would have definitely complained that her husband was incompetent and said that if he couldn't afford to support his wife, he shouldn't have married and had children.
The policy during this period: the child’s household registration was defined according to the mother’s household registration.
If she had been pregnant, the situation would have been just as bad. Lin Yiyi, who went to the countryside as an educated youth, still had a rural household registration.
Without an urban household registration, there will be no corresponding subsidies, and no quota for purchasing rice, flour, grain and oil, so you can only starve.
She was not really prepared to raise the next generation.
After living together for a long time, couples will quarrel over daily necessities.
What's more, she and Zhao Sheng did not get married after a free love relationship, and there was no emotional foundation at all.
Her identity meant that she had only two options: do farm work to earn work points or rely on Zhao Sheng.
If Zhao Sheng changed or wanted to separate from her, she would just end her life if she couldn't live alone.
At worst, I can be a babysitter.
But if she had a child, she would be really tied up in her own web.
She is living peacefully with Zhao Sheng now, but she still has to prepare for a rainy day.
People are always the most fickle.
Even when it came time to have a baby, she had planned it out clearly, and early summer of 1976 was the best time to prepare for pregnancy.
I gave birth to my child around March 1977, took the college entrance examination in late November of the same year, and started school in March 1978.
By then the child will be one year old, able to eat and learn to walk, and the school will provide a monthly subsidy. As long as she saves money well starting from 75 years this year, she will have nothing to worry about.
Having a child will bring conflicts in life. If she can't get along with Zhao Sheng, or if he is not a good husband and a good father, she will definitely leave her husband and keep the child.
With such a long time to accumulate some savings, she is not afraid of becoming a single mother if she gets divorced.
During this period, college students have high talent and will not have to worry about easy jobs after graduation.
This was also the way out she had thought of.
Just as she was lost in thought, the car suddenly braked and Lin Yiyi almost sat on the pregnant woman's legs.
Fortunately I grabbed the back of the seat.
If she didn't stand firmly and really pounced on him, she would definitely cause problems for the other person and she couldn't afford to pay for it.
Fearing that the driver would brake suddenly again, Lin Yiyi decisively backed away.
Another stop later.
Lin Yiyi had just gotten out of the car and hadn't walked a few steps when she heard someone behind her shouting.
The crowd around her also rushed back. Lin Yiyi turned around and saw that the pregnant woman who had been in the car had fallen to the ground and was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up.
Her mother-in-law was trying to support her but couldn't lift her body, and didn't dare to move it too much.
So he shouted loudly, hoping to get someone to help him.
Lei Feng really existed, but at this time, most people just stood by and watched.
After all, she has a special identity. She is a pregnant woman and a woman. It would be difficult to take responsibility if something happens, and it would also cause gossip.
The pregnant woman was obviously in a bad condition. She was gasping for breath in pain and didn't even have the strength to scream. Her pants were wet.
No matter how the middle-aged woman asked the comrades to say good things, no one came forward.
As a bystander, Lin Yiyi is not a medical student, nor is he a man strong enough to carry a pregnant woman to the hospital.
Suddenly an idea came to her mind, and Lin Yiyi squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the scrap yard not far away.
I explained the situation to Uncle Zhang in a few words and then borrowed his cart.
"Comrades, please make way. Please let me pass!"
Lin Yiyi pushed her cart through the crowd and arrived at the scene of the incident. The rest was left to the person involved.
She could only do so much.
This kind of wheelbarrow is difficult to control and has no handles to hold on to, so people may fall when sitting on it.
However, with a cart, there is no need for close contact with female comrades and there are no more worries, so there are still kind people willing to help push the cart.
After the pregnant woman was sent to the city hospital, Lin Yiyi turned around and prepared to push the cart back to the scrap yard.
However, the middle-aged woman grabbed her and said, "Girl, can you help me and bring a message home? I think you are a kind-hearted person."
Lin Yiyi decisively shook her head and refused, speaking in her hometown dialect, "Auntie, I'm from another place and I don't know the way."
Helping to deliver messages to other people’s homes, is that a joke?
She was afraid of being blackmailed, beaten with a club, or tied up.
She is poor and she doesn't want to be a daughter-in-law in a remote mountain village.
Moreover, she was not familiar with Ze County. Apart from places selling food, she was only familiar with the scrap yard and the bathhouse.
The other two men who helped push the cart left.
The middle-aged woman didn't look for a gay man, but she just grabbed him and made demands.
It's obvious that she has a soft personality and is easy to talk to.
The middle-aged woman said anxiously: "My home is not far away, it is easy to find. Comrade, please help me. I really can't leave, otherwise I will go back and call for help.
Or you can help me advance the medical expenses. I really don’t have that much money in my bag. Who would have thought that I would fall down unexpectedly? "
"......"
Lin Yiyi was speechless. Not only did he ask her for help, but he also wanted to extort money from her?
Sorry, she didn't bring anything but lunch money.
If she hadn't wanted to send Uncle Zhang's cart back, Lin Yiyi would definitely not have followed him to the hospital.
Good people and good deeds really shouldn’t be done randomly.
The retribution has come, and the auntie is holding him back and not letting him leave.
