In the golden autumn of August, Taiping Town is particularly lively these two days.
The material exchange meeting is held in these few days, only once a year, and only lasts for five days. Businessmen, big and small, from within and outside the province, are all coming. The streets of Taiping Town can be set up on both sides from East Street to West Street, from
From South Street to North Street.
Yingzi's small restaurant also became very popular. People from within a few dozen miles came to the market. Some had to get up at three or four in the morning and walk here to go to the market.
Aunt Jin looked at Qingping. Old man Jin and his wife were helping Yingzi.
Lao Wu also came over, but before he had stayed for ten minutes, Ma Xiaoting stood at the door and shouted: "Who will give you a penny here? Hurry! Are you busy?"
What are they busy with? Each of them is carrying a basket and picking up things on the street.
Taking advantage of the popularity, some families brought in vegetables and other things they grew at home and sold them. The buyers looked carefully at the vegetables, leaves, clappers, etc. and broke them off. Then the couple went to pick them up.
. Pick this up, wash it, pickle it and eat it to last through the winter.
Aunt Jin wants to say it, but what can you say after thinking about it? No matter what happens, you are always living a frugal life, right? Is this wrong?
She saw that the life of the fifth child was really tiring. My daughter-in-law couldn't do the work in the fields. She planted sesame seeds in the first season of this year. From two and a half acres of land, she harvested less than 110 kilograms of sesame seeds.
.How much do you think this is worth?
It is better to grow melons, pick them when they are ripe, and not sell them elsewhere, but just put them in front of the factory. Each one of them cost more than a hundred yuan.
There was no income in the first season, so corn was planted in the second season. After the autumn harvest, there was barely enough to eat.
When Lao Wu is free, he works as a mason for others and earns some money to support his family. But if he wants to spend an extra cent outside after receiving his salary, that is all a dream. Buy some oil, salt, soy and vinegar, and ask Lao Wu to go there.
No. Let Lao Wu find a way. What can Lao Wu do? He is no better than Lao San. No matter it is coaxing or deceiving, he can get it anyway. He has no way and dare not go for credit. The key is that he
I don’t know when I can return it. So what can I do? Either I’ll get it from my parents, or I’ll get it from my second sister.
Yingzi would also pay for anything from three cents to five cents, or even ten cents.
Ma Xiaoting is very clever. If she takes money from here, she will never stop her from helping her with the heavy work of moving things.
Yingzi also looked at Lao Wu pitifully. After all, Lao Wu was still a child of fourteen or fifteen when she entered the house. She didn't care about what Lao Wu's daughter-in-law couldn't do.
Seeing Lao Wu leave, she still wanted to stop him. What do you think about eating rotten leaf pickles like that?
Just as he was about to speak, He Xiaowan stopped him: "Why do you care so much about him? Lao Wu is not the same as before."
"You are the youngest after all, why bother with him?" Yingzi said, opened the drawer, took out five dollars and gave it to He Xiaowan: "You and the third child are coming over these two days to help me. You can keep this money.
.”
He Xiaowan accepted the call without politeness, but she scolded Ma Xiaoting in her heart. She is such an idiot. Don't you know what the tempers of the two of you are? How can I make you suffer? Come here and help, five yuan can buy a car.
It's a dish. The two second-hand men don't do things that can both give favors and implement them, but choose to do things that are hard-working and thankless.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master didn't go to help, but the vegetables grown in the open space in the orchard were used by the small restaurant, so they could pick them when they were gone. It was very convenient.
The two of them held Qingning and accompanied Aunt Jin who was holding Qingping, and went to a material exchange meeting together.
What does it mean to be crowded with people? What does it mean to be crowded with people?
That’s it?
The fourth master didn't dare to ask his mother to hold his niece. He handed Qingning to Tongtong, and he hugged Qingping himself, "Just take care of yourself."
Let alone looking at things, I was pushed along the street by the crowd.
The streets of Ping'an Town used to be full of potholes. Now for the material exchange meeting, bulldozers were specially hired to straighten the road surface. Although it is still a dirt road, it is at least smooth.
The people selling things are also very concentrated. Those selling fabrics are all in this area, those selling ready-made clothes are all in that area, and those buying farm tools are also gathered together.
Anyway, everything a farmer needs throughout the year can be purchased here.
Aunt Jin looked at the fine cotton cloth and bought some, which were for the child in He Xiaowan's belly.
I also saw some satin material with a particularly dark color, and I was stroking it back and forth, looking like I wanted to buy it but was hesitant.
Lin Yutong looked at the material and frowned. It looked shiny, but in fact it was very hard to wear. If there were a few cracks, the fabric would become strips. "What do you want to buy this for?"
Aunt Jin's mouth moved: "While I can still move, I have to make my and your father's shrouds."
You see, what a wonderful day, I am very happy to come out. You said this again.
Lin Yutong said angrily: "Your temper comes out right away when there is anger in your stomach. You don't have any anger in your heart, but you still have some work to do. Besides, you have a son and a grandson, what are you afraid of?"
Just drag her away and you will really find trouble.
Aunt Jin raised her hand and patted the fourth daughter-in-law gently, "You are all amazing. When your father and I came back from the army, your breasts were still moving. At that time, the family law was very strict. Housework
If you don't do a good job, you'll get scolded and slapped. But now it's better, everything has changed. The third child's family is no older than mine, and they're arm-in-arm, which makes people laugh. You look at Mature, are you so mature?
Did you just rub your mother-in-law and leave? If you were like this thirty years later, your mother-in-law would really hit you with a rolling pin."
Lin Yutong chuckled: "You can't go backwards, but after this? In thirty years, when I become a mother-in-law...Mom! Seriously! Your grandson-in-law will avenge you as soon as possible. We should also
I've received my retribution." I also wanted to show off my mother-in-law's money, so I could stay there for a while.
Aunt Jin laughed and said, "This is the best, because none of you can be a good wife. I also ask your daughter-in-law to fight against you, then you will know how the mother-in-law feels." She turned to look at the two granddaughters.
Even more happy, "Then my two little babies will no longer have to be angry with my mother-in-law..."
The fourth master was impressed by both of them. You said it was so crowded and everyone was shouting like they were quarreling. Why can’t we have a good chat when we go home? It would also work if we left it among the crowds on the street.
Tongtong is becoming more and more down-to-earth now.
I didn’t buy anything, so I just followed the crowd on the road. Things like pea yellow were sold on the roadside. Aunt Jin wanted to buy it for her children, but Lin Yutong stopped her, “It’s all dirt, how do you eat it? I’ll give it to them when I get home.
Do."
Here, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about what to buy or not to buy, and suddenly the crowd started to push in one direction.
If you don't want to be stepped on, you have to follow the crowd. When you get to the place, you find out it's the old stage on West Street.
There was no acting on the stage, but a crazy woman running up. The woman was jumping and twisting. She also took some red paper for writing couplets, wetted it with saliva, and then dressed herself up. She put on a touch of red lips.
, put a touch of red on her cheeks, and made various shy looks, making everyone laugh.
There was an aunt nearby who loved to tease children. Seeing that Qing Ping and Qing Ning were not noisy and not making any noise, they also followed her and looked at them. They both asked, "Oh! Why do these two babies look so much like the people on the stage? I'm afraid they were adopted.
Bar."
Qingning looked at her father in astonishment, and the fourth master couldn't help but laugh.
Then I saw Qingping with tears in his eyes, holding his mouth while looking at the woman on the stage.
When people tease their children, they forget about it and don't take it seriously.
As a result, after returning home, the two sisters had a falling out.
Qingping held her quilt tightly and pointed outside: "Send it...send it..."
To whom?
The child shed tears and wiped his face, "It's red here... there's no place to sleep..."
Come on! The child really thinks that the madman is her real mother, and wants to send the quilt to her mother, because she is afraid that she will have no place to sleep at night.
Where is Qingning?
She kept asking her father: "Am I the mother of two?"
Fourth Master said: "Just one!"
"No!" Qingning was very persistent, "They say that's the case too!"
Only one person said it, but it was said everywhere?
Fourth Master reasoned with me: "A person only has one mother."
"No!" Qingning pointed in the direction of the orchard behind, "My mother and my mother."
It refers to the mother and mother-in-law who moved the grave. She heard Tongtong call her mother to the grave, and she also had to call Aunt Jin her mother. So she believed that one person can have two mothers.
This question seems a bit unclear.
Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong for help: Take this naughty child away quickly. The more he explains, the more confused he becomes.
Lin Yutong never explained such problems that were unclear to her. She always pursued force suppression: "You have two mothers? You little white-eyed wolf... Otherwise, I will send you to your mother..."
Qingning instantly opened her eyes in horror, shook her head like a rattle, and leaned against her father without letting go.
The fourth master also disliked Tongtong for threatening the child: "Tell her properly." He told her very patiently that only when they grow up can they have two mothers.
They thought the matter would just go away. But when they were eating, Qingning looked at her mother's face, scooped up a spoonful and ate it herself, and then scooped up another spoonful and poured it on the table. The couple thought the child had accidentally spilled it.
Did you take a bite? It turned out that she was so persistent. She took a bite, scooped out a bite, and piled it together. She also carefully observed the faces of the adults, especially her mother. If Tongtong showed any displeasure on her face, she would quickly put it away.
hand.
The Fourth Master put down his chopsticks and said, "Daughter, what are you doing?"
Qingning imitated her father, put down the spoon seriously, and sat upright, "...give it to that person who...isn't...mother..."
I'm afraid that the person who seems to be my mother will be hungry.
Well! The child is at least a kind person at heart.
The child cannot be amused, nor can she be deceived.
The fourth master took it seriously and said that the food on the table was dirty and could not be eaten by others. Although that person was not our Qingning’s mother, she might be someone else’s mother. We could not give dirty things to this mother.
So Lin Yutong specially filled two bowls of rice and took a large bag of steamed buns. He packed up two old clothes and wrapped them up. The couple held their children and went to the stage on West Street.
The crowd on the street had already dispersed, and this woman was gnawing on some roasted black sesame seed cakes she picked up from somewhere.
Qingning burst into tears again and felt very pitiful.
Lin Yutong took out the thing and handed it to Qing Ning. She would definitely not be able to hold it, so he just asked her to hold it. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were carrying the thing behind, asking the child to hand the thing to the woman with their own hands.
The woman smiled innocently, took the things and handed her sesame seed cakes to Qing Ning.
Qingning also took it, pointed to the rice on one side, and said to the woman: "Eat...eat...eat quickly...it's cold...it doesn't taste good..."
After coming back, the child seemed to have put down a worry and started to lively again.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master do not limit themselves to children. They go out to run when they want, and go out to play when they want. The children in the alley, the older ones take care of the younger ones, turn into mud monkeys when they come back.
When the weather gets colder, the children go out less often.
During the day, Aunt Jin brought Qingping over and asked the two sisters to play here. There is a fire wall here, which is very warm. The child only needs to wear a jacket in the room. The freedom of movement is much greater.
The most important thing is that I still don’t want to glare at the fifth daughter-in-law.
In the old house, the fourth child had a fireplace built, and it was very warm. The fifth child lived in the new house, and there was no one there. If only the kang was burned, the house would still be too cold. Originally, the second child and the fourth child lived there.
The old house was also habitable, but the fifth and fifth couple thought it was an ugly adobe house, so they had it demolished. They were asked to live in the vacant house in the east building, and they also disliked the fact that the old lady and the old man had lived in it, so they refused.
Go. If you have nothing to do during the day, come over and check the temperature.
It's no problem for the son to come over. The fifth child lived with the old couple before they got married. But when the daughter-in-law came over, the father-in-law Jin was so crowded that he had no place to stay. He simply didn't stay anymore and went to a small restaurant to help Yingzi.
After all, he is a person who knows how to prepare banquets, and he helps out there, eating, drinking, and getting paid, which is pretty good.
Aunt Jin, Qingping, and the fifth couple were left face to face.
Sometimes Lao Wu is not at home when there is work. He either goes to the grain station to carry bags, or goes to the cotton station to rummage through cotton bags. Or the pig farm and chicken farm are about to produce manure, so they hire some coolies to work for a short period of time. Anyway, it will be a winter.
Go wherever there is life.
Brothers and sisters, the boss has taken his laziness seriously. Life is miserable, and the cat won’t move at home. She urged her several times, saying that now the feed is sold out, and there are more pigs, so you just ride.
Riding a bicycle through the streets and alleys, going from village to household, castrating pigs, and treating livestock. Even if it doesn't work for a day, you can definitely earn one yuan and eighty cents. Life and death just won't listen, "It's so cold... the roads are frozen hard."
What should I do if I fall down..."
Did you fall? You take your wife and children to your father-in-law's house again and again, and you are not afraid of falling?
There is no need to worry about the second child. Yingzi has already made a lot of money here, and he is busy raising seedlings and doesn't know what he wants to plant. It seems he still wants to dare to plant early and sell it at a good price.
The third child got a tractor, and now he has no worries about work. The feed factory is pulling feed, and there is work every day, either pulling raw materials or transporting feed. The tractors are used for short distances. He is running on the road all day long. He drives like crazy.
It's a job that he loves to do all the time. Although his wife's natal family still provides subsidies, the second daughter of the He family has also been married, and the two daughters are providing subsidies, so the pressure has been reduced by half. Now that he has a child,
The third daughter-in-law also knew that she was hugging her at home. She seemed to have less time to hang out.
The fourth couple should have been the most nurturing and leisurely, but what happened? They didn’t know who they were competing with. They didn’t study when they were young. Now that their children are about to go to school, they are competing to go to school. This exam, that exam,
She signed up for the exam today, but she didn't understand what kind of exam it was and why there was no time to calm down all year round.
Counting all the sons, only the fifth child is really doing a job that is too stupid to earn any money despite his efforts.
Who can you blame?
His second brother said to follow me and grow melons, it would be better than growing grains. If he didn’t, he would just listen to his wife.
His third brother said that he would follow me to load and unload the truck and calculate the money for you based on the tonnage. But no, his wife said that the crops cannot be lost. Anyway, if you don’t plant it, I don’t know how to plant it.
His fourth brother said that you contract all the manure from the pig farm and chicken farm, give people some money, and then you only sell the manure. Your fourth sister-in-law is in charge of these things, so if you don't let go, you just give the money
He made a profit. No, his wife said that your fourth brother and sister-in-law are very smart. After selling you, you are still helping them count the money.
What can parents say? They all say that they are obsessed with things, but this is true. Isn’t it just prettier? Because of this, no one will listen to what they say.
She and the fifth daughter-in-law were left at home, and the fifth daughter-in-law sat on the kang with a slumped face and said nothing. Qingping, who already knew how to look at her face, was very reserved, so she naturally wrapped the child tightly and brought it out to give her some space.
The dead man's face remains.
During the day, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were not at home. They were quite free to raise their two children. They could also switch hands and take a nap. At night, they were afraid that the children would be cold and would suffer on the way out. So I simply left Qingping with the fourth child.
This way.
"Aren't you going to disturb your reading?" Aunt Jin asked when she was about to leave.
You've coaxed the child to sleep, why bother?
It was late at night, and the old couple refused to stay at the house of their two sons, so they strolled back. After returning, there were only unburned ashes in the fireplace, no more firewood was added, and the kang was not burned.
Old Man Jin sighed, what kind of life would it be to live with such a son and daughter-in-law?
Living life is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.
However, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong said that since they finished the exam in October, they had no plans to apply for the exam in December. After all, choosing courses is all about choosing those who are easy to learn, and the exam becomes more difficult the further you go. So on the contrary, it is necessary
Longer study time.
After too many busy days, it doesn’t matter if the pace is slower now. Anyway, life is still very long.
When everything was fine, the two of them leaned together, listened to music, and whispered about past events.
The wind is strong today, whistling. The snow particles hit the glass and make a lot of noise.
Seeing the child frowning uneasily, the Fourth Master reached out and patted the child. Then he turned off the soothing music. When he listened outside, there was not only the sound of wind and snow, but also the sound of someone shouting.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong sat upright all of a sudden. There seemed to be something wrong with the movement outside.
Fourth Master wrapped his military coat around his body and went out, "Don't go out..."
As soon as the door opened, the snow was blown in by the wind. Lin Yutong quickly took the quilt to cover the two children again.
The fourth master went out and saw the light in the old lady's room was on, so he shouted: "Mistress, go to sleep, I'm outside."
Then immediately after, the lights went out.
The fourth master opened the door and saw that the second son was already standing on the steps of his door, with a flashlight in his hand, taking a photo of Ding Aimin's house.
After a short time, all the men from several houses came out. Liu Cheng, Liu Bao, and Qiu Cheng, who didn't come back very often.
The five men gathered together. Qiu Cheng handed them cigarettes one by one and lit them. Then he raised his chin and gestured in that direction, "What's wrong? What's that noise?"
There was a clanging sound from the kick, mixed with the shouts of many people.
Jin Laoer turned on the flashlight again and shined the light on it. He saw a large area of messy footprints in the snow. His yard had no walls, and even the yard was full of messy footprints.
How many people were in this room?
Before a few people could say anything, there was movement in the Ding family. Two people escorted one person out of the formation. They walked out one by one. The fourth master counted the people being escorted.
Twelve people.
The one walking at the end was obviously the leader, whom Fourth Master knew. He was the deputy director of the police station and often visited the commune.
Fourth Master took the initiative to go over and say hello: "What do you think is wrong? It turns out you are working."
This person shook hands with Fourth Master, "I didn't expect to alarm everyone. It's okay, it's just gambling, gathering people to gamble. The amount is a bit big."
The fourth master nodded, "Then you are busy, it is very cold at night, so sooner or later it will be over."
The two shook hands. This was indeed not the place to talk.
They were about to separate when I heard someone shouting: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! It's me! I didn't bet, I just took a look..."
Fourth Master looked at that man, oh! It's him!
Why does the limp look so familiar? It turns out to be Lin Yuqi.
The deputy director was in a dilemma, "Look..." If he opened his mouth, he would have to give him this face. He was about to say that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple, but in the end he whispered in support of this popular man in the commune.
One sentence: "Don't let him suffer, give him some care, but don't let him go in a hurry. I'll thank you later."
This is easy to handle!
Isn't it just that we are served with good tea and good food, instead of starving and freezing?
This works!
Don't let it go in a hurry, just ask for the fine first. Then when this person comes forward, he can lower it appropriately. He didn't break the rules, and he also gave him the favor.
"I've got it covered." Dealing with this person is so reassuring and never makes people feel embarrassed.
Fourth Master also went over and said to Lin Yuqi: "...It doesn't matter, just stay well. I told them that I won't let you suffer..."
It's not a crime, it's really not a crime. Those who were thrown in the snow for half a night, he would cuff them next to the stove when he came back. The steamed buns baked yellow on the stove would be stuffed to him and given to him to eat.
There is boiling water in the porcelain jar. It is placed next to the stove. It will not be cold at any time. One is roasted, which does not hinder eating and drinking. After a while, someone will come and ask if they need to go to the toilet. Now the chair under the buttocks is a recliner.
, lean down, it’s the bed, you can have a good sleep here.
But in this world, no matter how good the treatment is, aren’t you still wearing handcuffs?
I feel very unsettled.
If he is caught gambling, not only will his gambling money be confiscated, but he will also be fined. Seeing the people being called in one by one, he felt uneasy. What should he do? He must notify his family.
If dad finds out, it will definitely be over.
So, I can only ask someone to inform my wife about this matter.
There are police officers from the police station to inform people about this. Don’t we need to get some benefits at the end of the year? Otherwise, who would stay up in the middle of the night to catch gamblers?
Asking family members to redeem people is an important step in generating income, so you must be notified.
Then at dawn, Deng Chunhua rushed over.
A man got up in the snow and came before dawn. When he arrived, he hit his son on the back: "You are a loser...you want to piss me off to death..."
Lin Yuqi cried out in exaggerated pain: "I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
Deng Chunhua stopped, looked up and down, and then looked at the frozen things outside, her heart felt at ease, "Which one did you give money to?"
Otherwise, people wouldn't be able to treat you so favorably.
Lin Yuqi bared his teeth at his mother: "What are you talking about? That's my second brother-in-law's face."
Second brother-in-law?
It took him a long time to realize who it was that he was talking about. He curled his lips and shouted affectionately.
"Then why don't we get you out?" Deng Chunhua glared, "It's better to rely on your mother."
Lin Yuqi poured out his kind words for free: "Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes! My mother is the most amazing. Hurry up! Get me out. I will let you go after you pay the money."
"How much does it cost?" Deng Chunhua asked in a low voice.
"More than eight hundred." Lin Yuqi said uncertainly: "For my brother-in-law's sake, I can probably waive it."
How many?
"More than eight hundred?" Deng Chunhua went crazy, "How can your mother and I have so much money?"
"Why not?" Lin Yuqi smiled, "You can fool my dad but you can't fool me. My second uncle gives our family more than ten yuan every month. Where does that money come from?"
Shut up!
Deng Chunhua covered her son's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense." This matter must not be spread.
Lin Yuqi pouted: "Do you still know the danger?"
My mother is also a capable person. She didn’t know how to get the grain back then, so she secretly gave it to her second uncle and asked him to lend it out. She lent a pound of corn and received a pound of wheat.
A pound of ground flour came back. I don’t know how much money I saved in those years just by using grain as food. The past two years have been much better than those years, and loan sharking has started again. There are ten good loans every month.
A few dollars came into the account, and more at the end of the year.
Pretend you don’t know.
Deng Chunhua seemed to be in a hurry: "Why don't you go to your brother-in-law? I can get the money there at least until the end of the year."
Lin Yuqi looked at Deng Chunhua: "If you go to find me to get your brother-in-law, do you think they will pay attention to you?"
Definitely not!
Deng Chunhua sighed: "What an obstacle. Just wait for me."
After going out in the snow for more than ten miles, he asked his second brother: "...I need to get the money back quickly, it's waiting for urgent use..."
Brother Deng glared: "This collection of accounts is all at the end of the year, and it's not even the twelfth lunar month yet. This is against the rules."
"Why is it against the rules?" Deng Chunhua said anxiously: "What age are we still following the old rules? Hurry up, that evildoer in my family has caused trouble again. I really can't wait."
"I'm going to find my brother-in-law." Brother Deng didn't take it seriously, "The son is not yours alone."
"That scoundrel in my family knows about our business. If his father beats him, if he tells her..." Deng Chunhua looked at her second brother, "That man in my family has not treated me well for a long time. His former wife gave birth to a child."
There are several of them, but each one is more promising than the other. Second brother, let him know that your sister has probably really divorced and come back to live with you..."
Brother Deng smacked his lips: "Then you have to allow me a day."
Deng Chunhua thought about her son's relatively good treatment, and nodded in agreement, "It's only for one day, I don't dare to delay it."
As a result, something happened on this day.
Brother Deng is in a hurry to collect the debt. Who would take out a loan shark if his life can go on? He is in a hurry. Now he is not interested in selling his sons and daughters. But there are blood sellers. There is no way to avoid it.
The whole family sold their blood. The hospital told them not to draw too much blood, so they cried and begged, which made the hospital unable to work normally. This alerted the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as they arrived at the public security bureau, the common people became frightened and told them everything.
It's over!
We have been exploiting usury for so many years, and we have just caught up with the severe crackdown. Such unclear canonical punishments will not work.
The witnesses are all there, it's a solid case.
The case was completely unsolved, and the county public security bureau sent people to arrest Brother Deng directly on the same day.
When he arrived at the police station, he shouted, "I really didn't do this, my sister asked me to do it..."
Deng Chunhua was offered.
In the evening, Deng Chunhua, who was waiting for her second brother but did not see her, waited for a female police officer and two male police officers from the Public Security Bureau.
My legs were weak from fear, but my mind was very clear.
She didn't make any noise or make a fuss, but looked innocent. When she confronted her second brother, she shed tears of grievance: "...I admit that I am not a good stepmother. I deducted the child's rations and used it to subsidize my parents' family. I gave it all to my parents."
My second brother... I thought it was for the family to eat and had no idea about this loan sharking thing..."
Lin Yuling was so frightened that she called Lin Jiacheng. Lin Jiacheng stood outside the interrogation room. After hearing the ins and outs, his eyes went dark. If he subsidized his mother's family, this would be a bit popular, but this meant that Yingzi couldn't eat, but he took this food.
It's great to lend money!
"Dad!" Lin Yuling hugged her father's arm and cried, "My mother can't go in. Think about your work, think about Yulong who plans to take over, Dad! Think about me again, what will we do if my mother goes in?
"
The younger son's job has been lost. The older daughter's marriage has been delayed. And the unimproved older son has no one to control him.
I closed my eyes, knocked on the door and went in.
Deng Chunhua rushed over and hugged Lin Jiacheng: "I was in the wrong as the head of the family, I shouldn't have treated Yingzi like that. Don't worry, I will make it up to her in the future. Really! I don't know what my second brother did with our food.
of……"
The second brother Deng was dumbfounded, "You are talking nonsense!" He said as if he was remembering something, "Comrade Public Security, I have something to say. Deng Chunhua's eldest son Lin Yuqi is being detained at the Taiping Town Police Station. He knows his mother's
Deng Chunhua said it herself yesterday, saying that if he was not redeemed, he would report what we brothers and sisters had done to the police comrades..."
What is this?
Lin Jiacheng could hardly stand.
It was already night by the time Lin Yuqi was escorted over, and as soon as he arrived at the county seat, he knew something was wrong. Something must have happened with his second uncle, otherwise could he have made such a big deal just because of gambling?
When people asked, he replied: "...My mother sent food to my uncle's house...I know! My uncle came to the house and cried, saying that the family was too poor to open the pot and the whole family was going to starve to death. Then my mother couldn't watch it.
The whole family will starve to death. That is my eldest sister's rations, and I know that. But my eldest sister will not really starve to death because of her grandmother. My uncle's family will really starve to death without relief. Is it my eldest sister who is suing my mother for abuse?
This is true. My mother was young at that time, and I was crippled. She had many children who were too small to take care of. Plus, she had a bad temper. It was inevitable that she had some problems with her attitude toward my eldest sister... This was all caused by my leg.
Whatever the consequences, I suffered for my mother..."
But that's not what people asked at all.
"My uncle gives my mother money? Occasionally! Isn't this a return for my mother's kindness in lending food? What's wrong?"
After asking again and again, no one could tell that Deng Chunhua was an accomplice.
Uncle Deng was imprisoned and Deng Chunhua was released without charge.
Lin Jiacheng remained silent until Mrs. Lin took out the money that he had kept with her in the past few years, then went to the Jin family's door to find the second son-in-law, and then redeemed the ignorant eldest son.
Because of the strict crackdown, all cases are handled strictly and quickly.
Because Uncle Deng almost forced his life to death, at the end of the year, the verdict came down: death penalty!
The second uncle Deng's wife and children almost went crazy. The second aunt called her brothers and went to Lin's house to beat them up. She also beat Deng Chunhua severely. I heard that she injured her lumbar spine. She is in the hospital.
Still living.
It’s not over yet. I don’t know who gave the idea to ask the second aunt to take people to Lin Jiacheng’s unit to make trouble. The second aunt of the man who is about to die is so hard to hear. She said that Lin Jiacheng’s wife had to give birth to a child.
After he died, he rushed to marry the eldest daughter of a yellow flower. He gave up all the sons and daughters he gave birth to. Those who were given away were given away, and those who were not given away were almost killed by their stepmother's abuse. The family was so troubled that they could not go to work normally.
And the impact is too bad.
What to do?
Finally, Lin Jiacheng, who is in his forties, was granted early retirement. There was a retirement salary, but there was no work to do early. At his age, when he walked down to the post office, he still had the position of director.
It was easy. Now, it's all in vain.
After working for so many years, I didn't even get a house in the county, so I had to go back to the countryside again. My younger son is still at the lowest level and has not settled down. My daughter still wants to become a worker, but now she can't.
No more. I was still thinking about setting up a shop in the county and asking the boss to start a small business so that I could support myself even though I was lame.
