Su Xia swept the yard early in the morning. The winter wind was cold and strong, and soon dust and grass leaves would accumulate in the yard.
While she was diligently cleaning, she suddenly heard a scream coming from next door.
Su Xia was taken aback, then immediately picked up the broom in her hand and rushed towards the walls of the two houses.
When Niu Niu came out, she saw a scene that left her speechless.
Su Xia held a broom in her hand, her upper body pressed against the wall, her ears perked up, and her two big eyes darting around.
Why....
Then she closed the door and went inside, not wanting to disturb her mother, and continued to comfort her younger siblings.
Su Xia didn't notice Niu Niu at all; her entire attention was on the neighbor next door.
As usual, Aunt Qiao was cursing and swearing while sighing with worry.
But after all that, the two clerks suddenly opened the door, and she began to hysterically retaliate.
The two clerks spoke in serious tones, announcing, "Qiao Zhencai, two months from now in the township!"
Even Qiao Zhencai, not to mention Aunt Qiao, was filled with disbelief.
After a moment of confusion, he widened his eyes and roared, "Impossible... I clearly didn't use ๋ไนก๋ ..."
The two clerks looked down on him, despising him greatly, saying that although he looked respectable, he did nothing but despicable things.
"No way, my grandson just came back from the army, why should he...?"
"Is there a mistake?" Aunt Qiao didn't believe it.
"Comrade, this is a notice. As for why, you'll know for yourselves!"
snort....
The clerk left a notification slip, offered no further explanation, and left directly.
Aunt Qiao was left bewildered, and Qiao Zhencai lost his strength.
After a long while, Aunt Qiao finally came to her senses, and then burst into tears.
Crying and cursing, "Which son of a bitch... If I find out who snitched, I'll tear her to pieces...!"
Then, looking at her distraught grandson, she felt heartbroken and burst into tears.
"Zhencai... what are we going to do... ah..."
"You've never come back, have you? Waaah... It's all your mother's fault. She insisted you join the army... If it weren't for that damn soldier who took over your mother's job, you'd probably be married by now..."
Waaah.....
Grandma's crying stopped in his ears, but Qiao Zhencai didn't react at all.
Until she heard "Mommy's work," her eyes suddenly popped out, and the force of the blow startled Aunt Qiao so much that she fell to the ground.
Seeing her grandson suddenly stand up, Aunt Qiao's heart skipped a beat...
After a long while, I heard a hoarse voice say, "Grandma, go find my mother now and tell her I'm sick and can't speak..."
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were sharp, like some kind of animal that would tear its prey apart in a second.
Aunt Qiao's body trembled involuntarily...
As Su Xia listened, she knew this wasn't over yet, and she didn't know which deity she had offended, so she was bound to be demoted.
When Chen Jianguo returned home that evening, Su Xia realized it was a man who had done it...
"What's wrong?" Chen Jianguo asked, as if nothing was wrong.
Su Xia was speechless. "Did you report him?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo shook his head, "It wasn't me. I just spread the word. People around us are naturally speculating and worried..."
Su Xia....
He gave a gesture of admiration, "You're amazing!"
I never expected that this man would resort to such underhanded tactics.
Then she talked about something that happened that day, and then worriedly asked, "What if I have a job?"
Chen Jianguo burst out laughing upon hearing this...
Then, holding his wife, he said, "You're overthinking it. Everyone knows what's going on; how could we let him get away...!"
"What if...?"
Chen Jianguo looked at Su Xia, who blinked, indicating that this possibility wasn't out of the question...
Meanwhile, a quarrel broke out at the Qiao family's side. At first, it was thought to be between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it turned out to be Qiao Tiemen and his wife.
Qiao Tiemen slapped his wife hard as he returned to the house, cursing, "It's all your fault, you wretched woman! If you hadn't been so vain, Zhencai would never have thought of joining the army..."
"I'll definitely work hard at the steel factory now!"
The others remained silent after hearing this. Indeed, the second son was the best-looking among them, and the most outstanding in every aspect.
But now...
Grandpa Qiao sighed... Ever since his grandson was sent back home, his hair has turned much whiter. He's been working tirelessly for his grandson...
Looking at his silent grandson, he felt heartbroken and disheartened, never expecting his grandson to be so easily swayed...
Qiao's daughter-in-law wouldn't let him get away with it either, and started scratching and tugging at her husband.
The couple was fighting, and the in-laws were in no mood for it. Qiao Zhencai looked down, lost in thought...
The only one, the youngest, didn't dare to speak...
After some discussion, they decided that he would take over the work from Qiao's daughter-in-law. Qiao Damen looked at his grandson and didn't say anything.
She was also angry and scolded, "If you hadn't let someone catch you doing this, your mother's job might not be suitable for you, but is there any other way now?"
Qiao Zhencai bit down, his tongue burning, but he paid no heed. Only one thought occupied his mind: he had to make something of himself...
If Su Xia knew, she would definitely scoff, "To get ahead, instead of working hard, you're trying to take shortcuts!"
Later, Su Xia didn't care. On the contrary, if anyone dared to enter her door, she would throw a broom at them.
She's been practicing like crazy these past few days, hmph...
But then, I heard loud crying coming from next door...
Su Xia was startled and hurriedly went outside, only to find that it was the guild that was arresting people...
Five people grabbed Qiao Zhencai's arms and dragged him out.
"You're all animals... Didn't we agree on two months...?"
"Let my grandson go..." Aunt Qiao chased and hit him. She had originally planned to have someone else take her shift, but thinking there were still two months left, she decided to wait...
Just in case a good job comes along, so Qiao Zhencai rested for half the day and prepared to go out for the remaining half...
But suddenly a few people barged in and grabbed him...
The commotion at the Qiao family's house was quite loud; all the neighbors came out, but when they saw it was the person who had been returned, none of them wanted to say a word...
The clerk was from the educated youth office, and at that moment the leader was scolding Aunt Qiao.
"Comrade, you should go back and pack some things so he can take them with him later!"
Aunt Qiao was stunned, her eyes widening. "Comrade, can I ask what happened?"
Qiao Zhencai also came to his senses, recalling what he had just experienced, and dared not struggle, lest he think he was trying to escape.
With a forced smile, he asked, "Comrade, I'd also like to know what's going on. Wasn't it supposed to be two months later?"
He didn't care if anyone was around; he just wanted to know why the time had been brought forward.
The leader, with a serious expression, simply said, "No one will know in two months. There's only one batch available now, so you'd better leave now!"
Qiao Zhencai was incredulous. What was the reason?
"Comrade... but isn't this a bit too much trouble?" He gestured to his own situation, meaning it was similar to escorting prisoners.
The leader remained unmoved. "How am I supposed to notify you? What should I do? You should hurry up and tell them to call people, pack their things, the car will leave in two hours."
Qiao Zhencai's vision went black, and he almost fainted...
All I could do was gesture to Grandma, who was standing nearby, and tell her to hurry up and go find someone...
Then everyone watched helplessly as the person was taken away, followed by Aunt Qiao who hurriedly ran away.
