Yang Zhiqiang looked at his daughter-in-law, she was still as slovenly and there was still no place to stay at home.
Suddenly he exploded. He picked up the door bolt and started beating it hard.
Zhou Minli was frightened. She screamed, "Zhiqiang, why are you hitting me?"
"Go away, go and give me the money you stole to your parents and get it back. I know how much I earned and how much was divided among the village. You can find it all for me now and make up for any shortfall.
"
Zhou Minli was scared now. But looking at Yang Zhiqiang, who was already red-eyed, she didn't dare. So she took her time to find the money. Because she was slow, she got beaten twice.
The money was found, and it was only a little over two hundred. "That's it?"
Zhou Minli lowered her head and said nothing.
Yang Zhiqiang counted it again and found that the difference was more than three hundred.
This time the beating became even more severe. "Zhou Minli, if you don't come back with these more than three hundred yuan, we'll have to deal with it. You are a thief. Go and get it from me now."
Zhou Minli cried, "Why should I bring it back after I sent it away? It cost my parents so much."
Yang Zhiqiang smiled. "Okay, okay, just get out of here."
"Zhiqiang, I will never dare to do that again."
"In the future, there is no future. Get out of here, or you will get the money back, or you will not come back."
Zhou Minli was beaten out. She returned to her parents' home crying. Now they are the only ones left at home with her father and son.
Shubao was really scared. He sat aside and didn't dare to say anything.
"Did you know that your mother gave your grandma money?" The child is already eleven years old. He should know everything.
Seeing his son afraid to speak, Yang Zhiqiang knew that he knew.
"This money is reserved for you from now on, and you just watch your mother take it away? It's really stupid. Your grandma is right, it's just a stupid thing.
You also heard it today. Your second uncle said that he can't read, so the factory doesn't want him at all. You are so old, you don't know as many words as me, right? You, just farm all your life?"
Yang Zhiqiang was lying on the kang, with dirty clothes and other things piled up on the kang. A grown man suddenly burst into tears. How could his life be like this? He thought that he was also a neat young man. When did he start to live a successful life?
What about this?
Shubao was so frightened that he didn't dare to express his anger. The eleven-year-old child wiped his nose with his sleeve.
Yang Zhiqiang cried a few times and then stopped. The life he lived like this had a lot to do with him, and no one could blame him.
He sat up. He had been fighting against the cement bag for a day, and his body was very tired.
"From today on, it's just us and the two of us. Let's start cleaning the house now. From now on, the house will have to be cleaned every day. Also, since you don't want to go to school, follow me to work in the cement factory tomorrow."
Shu Bao didn't dare to say anything now. In the past, his father would never do anything. The scene of beating someone with red eyes just now frightened the child.
Even though he was tired and it was already dark, Yang Zhiqiang still took his son to clean up everything inside and outside the house.
It was past nine o'clock when they finished packing. Yang Zhiqiang still washed all the clothes of his father and son. As for Zhou Minli's, he put them directly into a snakeskin bag and threw them outside.
I didn't feel it before, but now I feel the smell when I hold her clothes.
The porridge was already cold, so Yang Zhiqiang cut some green onions and cabbage leaves and started cooking the porridge. But when he saw the oil in the oil jar, the heat was rising again. The meat and oil he bought when he was killing the pig the day before yesterday were nothing.
there is none left.
After the father and son finished eating, Shubao went to clean up. He really didn't want to, but he was afraid and had to do it.
The next day, Yang Zhiqiang packed up all the money and returned to his mother's house with Shubao.
"Mom, even if you are angry, you should help me get the money first. That's all at home. Yesterday I kicked Zhou Minli away, and she secretly took all the money to her mother's house behind my back.
I can't live like this anymore, so I take Shubao to work."
Hu Chunhua didn't sleep last night. He looked at his eldest son like this and didn't say anything.
Besides, Zhou Minli frightened the Zhou family when she got home at night.
"Mom, please give me all the money. Zhiqiang said that if I don't get the money back, he won't want me anymore."
"Where's the money? I've spent it all? It'll be fine, it'll be fine in a few days."
Zhou Minli didn't think so. Yang Zhiqiang was serious this time.
"Mom, it's true this time. Besides, you borrowed this money from me, and I didn't tell you to give it to you."
"What a disgrace, I gave birth to you and raised you, and I asked you for some money to spend, but you still want it from me?" As he said this, he hit Zhou Minli with the broomstick.
She had been beaten since she was a child and was really scared. So she stopped saying anything.
When she got up the next day, her mother woke her up to work. Zhou's mother was still waiting for Yang Zhiqiang to come and pick her up. But no one came at night.
Yang Zhiqiang took Shu Bao to work. Shu Bao was spoiled. Where has he ever done such a job? Today, Yang Zhiqiang didn't care about it and just let him do it.
When I get off work, I ride home directly. The pot and stove are cold at home, and I still have to cook.
Now Shubao quit and cried loudly, "I want to go to my grandma's house."
Yang Zhiqiang ignored him and continued to cook by himself, just to make him cry.
Shubao is tired and hungry, and crying takes a lot of energy.
When he stopped crying, he said, "It's okay if you want to go to your grandma's house. You are no longer my son. Don't come back from now on. I don't want you anymore."
Shu Bao was frightened. Although he was lazy and slovenly, he was by no means stupid. He was willing to go to his grandma’s house because they were kind to him and didn’t let him study or work. But the delicious food must be eaten by his grandma and grandpa.
I will give it to myself later.
He remembered what his grandma told him, that he was hurting himself.
In fact, he didn't believe it, but when he went to work with his father this time, he realized how tiring it was to go to work.
Moreover, those people all talked about the scores their children got in school and said they would find an office job in the future so they would not have to work.
He knew that his father was telling the truth this time, because he went to buy a lock at noon, which really meant that he would not let his mother come back.
So even though he was crying and wanting to go to his grandma's house just now, he didn't move.
Yang Zhiqiang just stews cabbage below, sticks pancakes on the side of the pot, and steams pickles. In this way, it comes out in one pot.
The two of them ate their dinner in silence, "I'll wash the dishes, you go wash your face and feet and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow too."
Shubao, remember, as long as you dare to go to grandma's house, I really don't want you anymore. And if you follow me, you must be obedient and go to work with me.
If you don't study hard, you'll just do manual labor."
"Dad, I want to go to school, and I want to work in an office in the future."
Wang Zhiqiang shook his head, "No, you have no chance to go to school, so just work."
