When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she quickly straightened her messy clothes, straightened her back, and said in a somewhat showy tone: "I am Mrs. Jia Zhang from the city, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. Zhang Gouwa,
Don’t you remember me? When you were a child, before I got married to the capital, you were just a little kid. Once you looked at the candy in my hand eagerly, and I even gave you half a piece. You
Don’t forget it!”
These words made Secretary Zhang's face turn red instantly. He never thought that this Jia Zhang family would be so ungrateful. Not only did he call him by his nickname, but he also brought up such old things in public to humiliate him.
.The rage in his heart"
He suddenly burst into tears, his eyes full of anger and majesty, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ms. Jia Zhang, you are too presumptuous! This is the village headquarters, not a place for you to run wild. If you have something to say, don't talk nonsense.
Yu, don’t blame me for being rude."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was frightened by Secretary Zhang's sudden scolding, and the arrogance on her face suddenly decreased a bit. She swallowed, her eyes flickered, she did not dare to look directly at Secretary Zhang's angry gaze, and her voice became silent.
Consciously lowered.
"Secretary Zhang, this is what happened. I went back to the village to visit my sister Zhang Xiufang, but my brother-in-law Zhao Dakui was not good to me. Not only did he not show me a good look, he also threw me out of the house. Tell me,
Is this still a royal law? Although I married in the capital, I am also a member of the Zhang family. This family
How could they occupy all the family property here? I just want justice and let them give me five hundred yuan, otherwise I really can’t swallow this breath in my heart." Jia Zhang said while secretly observing Zhang
The secretary's expression was filled with anxiety. I didn't know how the secretary would judge this matter.
As Secretary Zhang listened to Jia Zhang's story, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an uncontrollable sense of absurdity. He raised his chin slightly, a slightly sarcastic smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of laughter.
It is a disdain for Jia Zhang’s unreasonable demands.
"Mr. Jia Zhang, you are really interesting. You have lived in the city for so many years and have been a city dweller for a long time. Now you come back to the village to ask for the Zhang family's property. Don't you think it's ridiculous? The rules in this village don't you think
Have you forgotten everything? You have neither fulfilled your obligations in the village nor made any contribution to this family. Why do you want these five hundred yuan?" Secretary Zhang's voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to be hammered.
Jia Zhang's greedy and stupid heart.
Jia Zhang's face turned red, and she hesitantly tried to defend herself: "I...I am the daughter of the Zhang family no matter what, and I should have a share of this family property."
Secretary Zhang immediately interrupted her: "Stop messing around here. According to the tradition and actual situation of the village, everything in this house is the hard work of Zhang Xiufang and Zhao Dakui, and has nothing to do with you. If you
If you know what's going on, go back to the city quickly and don't embarrass yourself here."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard what Secretary Zhang said, her greed and stubbornness instantly took over. She raised her neck and said loudly: "I don't care. If you don't give me an explanation today and don't give me the Zhang family's property, I will
I won't leave until I die!" After saying that, she sat down on the ground, slapped the ground with her hands, and kicked her legs randomly, looking like a shrew.
"Zhang Gouwa, you can't be partial! If you don't help me, I will go to the commune to sue you, saying that you are harboring bad people!" Mrs. Jia Zhang was crying, pointing at Secretary Zhang, and glancing at Secretary Zhang from time to time.
She tried to arouse everyone's sympathy and support to the people around her. However, the members present sneered at her behavior and shook their heads and sighed.
Secretary Zhang was so angry that his face was slightly red, and his eyes were full of disgust and anger at Jia Zhang's rogue behavior. He clenched his fists, turned around, and was about to order someone to call the militia, so that this scoundrel could be scolded on the ground.
Jia and Zhang were taken away, out of sight.
At this moment, the accountant trotted over, with some beads of sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Secretary Zhang, looking a little anxious and worried.
"Secretary Zhang, please calm down first." The accountant said quickly, "This Jia Zhang is really outrageous, but she is quite old after all. If the militia really drives her away, what if in the process?
If something happens to her, such as falling down and getting injured, her family will definitely make trouble. If the superiors find out, they will blame her. Our commune will be in big trouble. We need to think carefully about this.
"
After hearing what the accountant said, Secretary Zhang stopped, but the anger on his face still remained. He glared at Jia Zhang who was still cheating on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Then as you say, I'll take over
Let her continue to cause trouble here? This is not an option, she has made the place very uneasy."
The accountant is an old comrade. He has never seen such a person in his life. When he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang, he went to Secretary Zhang and came up with an idea.
After listening to the accountant's idea, Secretary Zhang nodded slightly, thinking that this method was a good way to solve the current problem. So, he suppressed his dislike for Jia Zhang in his heart, and slowly walked to Jia Zhang, who was still cheating on the ground.
in front of.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang saw Secretary Zhang coming over, she thought he was about to compromise. A trace of pride suddenly flashed in her eyes. She was about to start clamoring for the family property again, but she heard Secretary Zhang say unhurriedly: "Ms. Jia Zhang, listen.
Okay. The people in our commune all live here as commune members through labor, abiding by regulations. Since you keep saying that you want to inherit Zhang
That's fine, but you must first become a member of our commune. If you can live a down-to-earth life in the commune for a month like ordinary commune members, I will make the decision to distribute the Zhang family's property to you. But
If during this period you violate any rules or act lazy or slippery, then don’t blame me for being rude, as this matter will never be discussed again.”
When Jia Zhang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. She knew that life in the commune was not as relaxed and comfortable as in the city. She had to work every day and was very tired. But then she thought about it, she was the best at it.
Isn't it just laziness? As long as you can get through this month, you can get your property, and then you will make a lot of money.
"Secretary Zhang, you have to keep your word! I take it seriously. Well, it's just a month in the commune. I'm sure I can do it." Mrs. Jia Zhang got up from the ground and patted the dust on her body.
With a confident and cunning smile on his face, he seemed to have seen that the Zhang family's property had fallen steadily into his pocket.
It's getting late now, and even if we have to work, we have to wait until tomorrow.
Secretary Zhang frowned and thought for a while, remembering the unpleasant scene that Jia Zhang had with Zhang Xiufang and Zhao Dakui before, and he knew in his heart that if she was arranged to live elsewhere in the village, what trouble might happen again
Come. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to temporarily place Jia and Zhang in the warehouse.
When Ms. Jia Zhang learned that she was going to be placed in the warehouse, her already ugly face became even more gloomy. She followed Secretary Zhang to the door of the warehouse, and as soon as she peeked in, she couldn't help but scream.
Get up: "This... what kind of shabby place is this?"
"It's dark, dark, and has a musty smell. Can anyone live here? Secretary Zhang, you can't do this to me. I'm from the city anyway. How can I live in a place like this?" she asked.
As he spoke, he slapped his nose with his hand, his face full of disgust.
Secretary Zhang didn't have a good impression of her in the first place, but now that he saw her starting to pick and choose, he suddenly became angry. He said with a straight face and angrily: "Mr. Jia Zhang, this
This is the best I can arrange for you
It's a good place. If you don't want to, you can just go away and no one will keep you. Hum, don't forget, you only stayed here for the sake of the Zhang family's property. If you want to live, you can live there. If you don't want to, you can live there.
Get out of here, don’t make any noise to me here.”
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she felt a thump in her heart. She knew in her heart that if she left now, she would have nothing to do with the family property. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and complained again.
I swallowed it back alive. Although my heart still felt tens of thousands
He was reluctant, but he still forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Okay... okay, Secretary Zhang, I'll just stay here. However, you have to remember what you said, wait until I stay in the commune."
After one month, you have to give me the Zhang family's property."
Secretary Zhang snorted coldly, turned around and left without even looking at her, leaving Jia and Zhang standing at the door of the simple warehouse, looking at the dim environment inside, full of helplessness and unwillingness.
…
The next day, when it was still light, the whole commune was already bustling with activity, and the members got up and prepared to start the day's work. But Mrs. Jia and Zhang were still sleeping soundly in the corner of the warehouse, and the snores kept coming and going, as if they were completely unaware of the new situation.
The day has come.
As usual, the production team leader began to notify the members one by one to go to work. When he came outside the warehouse and heard the snoring coming from inside, he couldn't help but frowned. He knocked hard on the door of the warehouse and shouted loudly
: "Ms. Jia Zhang, get up and start working! Don't sleep!"
Jia Zhang was suddenly awakened by the sudden knock on the door and shouting. She opened her eyes in a daze, and it took her a while to realize where she was. Suddenly, she remembered that she was now a member of the commune.
My heart suddenly "thumped".
"Oh, what time is it, and you're asking me to work? I haven't eaten yet!" Mrs. Jia Zhang muttered dissatisfiedly while rubbing her eyes.
The production team leader responded angrily outside the door: "The big pot meal has been over a long time ago! What time is it now? You can only wait until noon to eat. Get up quickly and don't wait any longer. Everyone has been working in the fields for a long time."
"
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she became furious. She got up from the ground, grabbed her shoes and rushed to the door. She opened the door suddenly, pointed at the nose of the production team leader and angrily yelled: "What did you say? If you don't have food, let me go."
What do I do? I work from
How can you, a person from the city, stand this? Your commune is so shameless. I'm still hungry, how can I work? Humph, I think you are deliberately targeting me, trying to make me unable to work. That's bad.
Give away my share of the family property, right?"
The production team leader was livid with anger at her unreasonable behavior. He suppressed his anger and said: "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't mess around here. This is the rule of the commune and everyone must abide by it. Since you want to take that share of the family property, just
You have to follow the rules and finish your work first. Now go to work quickly and don’t waste everyone’s time.”
But Mrs. Jia Zhang remained unyielding: "I don't care, I just want to eat. If I don't have food, I won't do it! What can you do to me?" She blocked the door with her hands on her hips, pretending to be willing to fight to the end.
.
The production team leader snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt and disdain for Mrs. Jia Zhang. He raised his voice and said unceremoniously: "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't forget why you stayed here. Secretary Zhang
Yesterday I made it clear that you have to stay down here like other commune members.
You have to live on the ground for a month and do all the work you have to do before you can share the Zhang family's property. How about you now? You don't even want to get up early to work and still want to eat? Huh, what if you keep doing this?
If you are lazy and unwilling to work, then don’t worry about the family property, there is no way out!”
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, her heart suddenly thumped, and her original arrogance suddenly dropped by half. She knew in her heart that the reason why she endured the simple conditions of this warehouse and endured many unaccustomed things was because
In order to get the Zhang family's property. If there is no hope at all because he is unwilling to work now, then it will be all in vain.
Her face became a little pale, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and she stammered: "Don't... don't, captain, I'll do it, can't I just go and do it now? But...
But you have to promise that as long as I work hard, you will definitely give me the family property when the time comes." After that, she did not dare to delay any more, and hurriedly turned back to the warehouse to tidy up briefly, and then followed the production in despair.
The captain went to where he was working.
Jia Zhang reluctantly followed the production team leader to the farmland, muttering all the way, full of resistance to the hard work.
The production team leader looked at Jia Zhang's reluctant look. Although he was dissatisfied, he thought that she was old after all, so he still took care of her a little. So he pointed to a piece of land that had not been hoeed and asked Jia Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang said: "Ms. Jia Zhang, you should be responsible for hoeing this land. This work is relatively not too heavy, so you have to do it well."
Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at the land, then at the hoe in her hand, and reluctantly reached out to take it. At first, she reluctantly hoeed a few times in a pretentious manner, but after even hoeing a few times, she felt her waist was sore.
It felt like it was about to break, and my back hurt so much that every time I swung the hoe, I felt like I had exhausted all my strength.
"Oh, this is exhausting me to death. How can my old bones bear this?" Mrs. Jia Zhang threw the hoe on the ground, and kept rubbing her waist with both hands, with a look of pain on her face.
Then he shouted to the production team leader, "Captain, I can't do this job. You have to find another job for me. This hoeing is too deadly."
