Chapter 18 Reconciliation with Parents(1/2)
Author: Mahjong Jun
Zhao Wenmu was thinking hard along the way.
What is going on?
I always feel that something important will happen to that person, but I can never remember it.
In the past few days, 400 kilograms of wild vegetables and about 170 kilograms of various game meats have been delivered to state-owned restaurants every day. The sugar factory's daily sales volume of wild vegetables has stabilized at 300 kilograms. The glass factory has caught up from behind, with a daily sales volume of about 360 kilograms.
The income every day exceeds 400 yuan!
After deducting the cost of purchasing game and the wages paid to the owner, the net profit can be 230 yuan.
After a few days, Zhao Wenmu already had a thousand dollars in his hand.
He plans to rebuild the house.
The house he lives in now was built for him by his family when he got married.
At that time, because his family was poor and he was underage, the production team refused to grant him a homestead, so he temporarily built such a simple adobe house.
He and Zhao Jing have never received a marriage certificate. The legal age for marriage at the moment is twenty for men and eighteen for women. Zhao Wenmu only turned twenty this October.
The two simply held a banquet under the witness of their parents, relatives and several elders in the village. This was enough for the moment, and even in the eyes of many older generations, it was more valid than a marriage certificate.
Later, when he became an adult, he never had a proper job and had no money to repair the house.
Therefore, I have never applied for a homestead with the production team.
He didn't ask for the eight acres of barren hills that were supposed to be allocated to him.
It just kept dragging on.
Things are different now. Now that he has money, he can't let his wife and children live in a house where they can't even lift their heads.
Not only that, he also wanted to take the opportunity to claim his eight acres of barren hills, negotiate with the production team, and contract the entire mountain south of the village.
The soil on that mountain is very thin, so it is impossible to grow fruit trees, let alone crops, but there are prosperous low shrubs and crooked fir and cypress trees growing on it.
These trees are allowed to be cut down privately. Every year, the production team organizes villagers to cut down some dead branches and dead trees for use as fuel in winter.
Other than that, the entire mountain is useless.
It certainly won't cost much to contract it out.
I just don’t know if the team dares to contract him.
However, before all these things, there is one more important thing, which is to visit my parents first and obtain their understanding and approval.
The separation of the Zhao family was caused by Zhao Wenmu.
After his marriage, he not only fought, drank, and gambled, which made the two elders of the Zhao family lose face, but also made his two elder brothers extremely disappointed in him.
He was mean to Zhao Jing and ignored his little girl, which also made Liu Sufang and her two sisters-in-law very uncomfortable.
So after he got drunk again and threatened to leave the Zhao family, Zhao Xuehai was so angry that he knocked off the pipe in his hand and immediately decided to separate the family.
In fact, there is nothing to divide, after all, there is nothing to divide at home.
So the old house was left to the boss, Zhao Wenlin.
Half of the money in the family was given to Zhao Wenguang and the other half to Zhao Wenmu.
Zhao Wenguang used the money and his own savings to build a new house not far from his old house.
Zhao Wenmu used the money to drink and gamble, and soon he had no money left.
From then on, Zhao Xuehai and his wife refused to see Zhao Wenmu. Soon after, Zhao Jing jumped off a cliff with her little girl on her back.
That day, Liu Sufang took a knife and chased Zhao Wenmu to kill him. Zhao Wenmu was so frightened that he ran out of the village. Liu Sufang couldn't catch up with him, so she stabbed herself several times in anger.
He didn't know that that was the last time he saw his mother in his previous life.
That night, the eldest sister Zhao Wenyan found Zhao Wenmu hiding outside the village.
"Little brother, please leave and don't come back again. From now on, you will still be my little brother, but I am not your eldest sister."
Zhao Wenmu squatted on the ground and cried for half the night. Finally, he kowtowed a few times in the direction of the old house, turned around and left until he died.
Recalling this, Zhao Wenmu burst into tears.
He recalled that when he was a child, he was sitting on a cart and his father pushed him across the frozen river to watch a drama in a neighboring village; he also recalled that it was so hot that he couldn't sleep at night, and his mother fanned him all night long.
The greatest tragedy in life is that a child wants to be raised but cannot be cared for.
In my previous life, I spent many nights looking in the direction of my home thousands of miles away, standing at the window sill for the whole night.
Recalling this, my heart is as sharp as a knife.
He opened the door and entered the house. Zhao Jing was not on the mountain, but sitting in the yard collecting the soles of her shoes.
Zhao Wenmu stepped forward and hugged Zhao Jing tightly in his arms.
"sister."
A cry of "Sister" was heard, and then Zhao Jing felt a ray of wet heat coming from her neck.
She put down the needlework and shoe soles in her hands, wrapped her arms around them, and patted Zhao Wenmu's back gently.
The latter could no longer suppress it and cried bitterly in Zhao Jing's arms.
Weeping bitterly at the sorrow of not seeing my loved ones for decades.
Zhao Jing didn't know why he was crying, but she could feel the sadness and regret.
It wasn't until a long time later that Zhao Wenmu wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head, and said in a thick nasal voice:
"Sister, I miss my parents."
Zhao Jing was also startled, it turned out to be like this.
She was also relieved.
My little brother has really changed!
She was also very happy in her heart. During this period, even when she went back to see her parents, she had to avoid Zhao Wenmu, lest he see and get angry.
Moreover, she had no money. When she went back to visit her parents, not only did she have nothing to take with her, but Liu Sufang also asked her to bring back a bunch of things every time.
Not only that, every time Liu Sufang saw her, she would wipe her tears. At first, Liu Sufang always said, "I was the one who harmed Ah Jing. I might as well have died earlier."
Later, when she saw that Zhao Jing felt uncomfortable after hearing this, she stopped talking.
But every time I see Zhao Jing, I can't help wiping away my tears, and Zhao Jing feels uncomfortable when I see her.
Now my little brother has gotten better, he has really gotten better. He no longer talks coldly to himself, and he no longer lets himself do housework. He even takes over taking care of his little girl at night.
Now she sometimes doesn't wake up even once a night, and she feels a little embarrassed.
But Zhao Wenmu is very strong and doesn't allow himself to do this for fear of getting tired.
Although she doesn't think it's necessary to do this, the two of them still have to share their lives together, and she's not someone who can't carry things with her hands or shoulders.
But my heart is still very sweet.
Even she knew that her complexion had improved a lot and she was no longer so thin.
The younger brother was ignorant before and made his parents angry. Now he regrets it, and his parents will not always deny him.
It doesn't matter, I can help him.
Thinking of this, she patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder.
"Little brother, go see our parents, they will forgive you."
So the young couple picked up the things Zhao Wenmu bought last time and went to Zhao Xuehai and his wife.
Zhao Xuehai is not at home, he is busy hunting with his old brothers at the moment.
Liu Sufang did not expect that Zhao Jing and Zhao Wenmu would come to the door together.
Zhao Xuehai never told her about helping Zhao Wenmu purchase wild game.
She only knew that Zhao Wenmu and his brothers were selling wild vegetables, and that the younger son seemed to have changed his temper, but she didn't know the specific situation.
These two people suddenly came to the door together, leaving her confused for a moment.
My heart was beating wildly. Could this bastard have done something wrong again?
So she picked up the bamboo rake that was scratching the itch.
They completely didn't notice that Zhao Jing had a smile on her face when she walked in, and the two of them were carrying a bunch of things in large and small bags.
"Mom, my little brother and I are here to see you."
Zhao Jing put down her things and said with a smile.
Liu Sufang still looked at Zhao Wenmu with a wary expression.
Old people are partial to their youngest sons, and Liu Sufang is no exception. Growing up, Zhao Wenmu had the best food and clothing. Although he was naughty as a child, he never caused any trouble.
Who knew it would turn out like this after getting married!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wenmu knelt down in front of her with a plop.
