Chapter 9 The dust settles
Author: Chenhu
Old Lady Li, the old tricky woman, wished she could just sweep Chen Xiuyun and her daughter, and the other three out.
It has been almost twenty years since the grudge between Mrs. Li and Chen Xiuyun.
If you can't have a boy, you will lose money after giving birth to three. Jiang Jianmin forgot his mother when he has a wife, and protects his family in everything. Chen Xiuyun is tough and has the job of a primary school teacher in the team. His parents' family sends something from time to time. The benefits Chen Xiuyun himself brought to the old Jiang family also made Mrs. Li dare not give Chen Xiuyun easily.
After so many years of frustration, Jiang Jianmin disappeared. Didn’t Mrs. Li break out? She wished she could just sweep Chen Xiuyun and two money-losing goods out. The house belongs to her, Jiang’s family. What does it have to do with these people from other surnames?
When Chen Xiuyun heard that the family still owed the production team's debts, she sneered in her heart and said, "This year's season is good, and the accounts of last year have been paid back long ago. The secretary and the captain are here. If you continue to talk nonsense, let the accountant in the team get the account."
It is January 1976. According to the calendar, the Chinese New Year has not yet been celebrated. What Chen Xiuyun said about this year is actually 1975 last year.
The ravines on Old Mrs. Li's cheeks became a little deeper because of the tension.
Chen Xiuyun was too lazy to continue to argue with Mrs. Li, so she simply said: "I know that parents, you don't like us, and you want to drive us out quickly without hindering your eyes. The house you live in is three for us, and the money will be given to me 60 yuan. The pig kid will also give me the food and the food you share is the food for four people, bowls and basins, and just take away our portion."
In the eyes of Mrs. Li, Chen Xiuyun was just a lion who said 60 yuan, why didn’t she snatch it?
Not to mention Mrs. Li, Wang Fengmei and Ma Meili don’t want to do it either.
The house is easy to talk about. After all, with the suggestion Chen Xiuyun just mentioned, adding a fence wall will make a separate yard, but it costs 60 yuan, my sister-in-law is really brave enough to open her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, you're sixty yuan, why did you open your mouth?" Zhang Fengmei's face looked bad.
Chen Xiuyun said: "When my family Zhenzhen got married, my parents were cruel to ask for 150 yuan. I also have money to hand over to the public servant every month. How much does it cost? I have to calculate it carefully for you?"
When Jiang Zhenzhen got engaged, what Mrs. Li wanted was actually five hundred at the beginning, which was so outrageous that Chen Xiuyun was both suspicious of life. In the end, she decided to set a hundred and five hundred. Jiang Zhenzhen's in-laws' face was also very bad, and she must privately say that the Jiang family sold their daughter. The money did not fall into her and Jiang Jianmin. Now she wanted this money and wanted to send it back to Jiang Zhenzhen.
The scenery last year was good and the fields were harvested. The Jiang family still owed the brigade’s debt the year before yesterday. After paying it off last year, there was still a surplus. The Jiang family knew that the brigade had given nearly 100 yuan to the family.
Chen Xiuyun looked at Old Man Jiang, "Dad, what do you want to say something? If you don't agree, I can only ask Director Wu to accompany me to the commune to find the Women's Federation Director of the commune. As soon as my man dies, you will bully my daughter. I wanted to sell my daughter to the Yao family before, otherwise my man would not die. It is said that women can hold on to half the sky, and arranged marriages are dross..."
The older Mrs. Li became more and more angry as she heard it. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Chen Xiuyun. The big-mouth Chen Gang pinched her arm. At this time, the flesh on her face showed some sarcastic meaning, "You dare to beat me!"
Before Jiang Youfu and Jiang Guisheng were about to speak, Chen Gang let go of Mrs. Li's hand, and Mrs. Li staggered for a moment.
Wu Xiulian said, "Uncle Jiang, they are all family members, why bother to make trouble so ugly? Jianmin doesn't want to see you make trouble like this. His grandchildren are old, and this family should have been separated long ago. Even if they are separated, they don't live so close. What's the point?"
"Yes, Uncle Jiang, there will be some bumps and bumps in many people. In the future, although each family has passed through each family, they are all surnamed Jiang and have the same temper. There is no need to make such ugly things about the separation." The person who spoke was Captain Li.
The three brigade cadres accepted the smoked fish sent by Chen Gang and naturally wanted to help Chen Xiuyun. They all knew that Old Lady Li was a shameless person, so the few of them simply persuaded Old Man Jiang directly.
"This hen that doesn't lay eggs has left no roots for Jianmin. After the two of them lost money, they were not from my Jiang family. If they got married, they would not be from my Jiang family. How could they give them three other people from the Jiang family in the future?" Old Mrs. Li thought she was polite, her voice was sharp and she was full of confidence.
Wu Xiulian lowered her face, "Aunt Li, your ideological awareness is not good. If you continue to mess around, go to the commune to study. Mrs. Qiu from Dahe Village forced her daughter-in-law to death. I think you look quite like her and should make progress in your thoughts."
Old Mrs. Li wanted to continue yelling, but she was afraid that Wu Xiulian would really take her to the commune.
Although I don’t know what will happen if I am taken away, even though Wu Xiulian said that she was making progress in her thoughts, the troubles were so vigorous in the past few years and it has not been completely stable yet.
The scared old lady Li had to hold back her anger and shut up.
After Wu Xiulian taught the old lady Li a lesson, Jiang Laogen said: "The house of the third family is for everyone to live in, and the pig baby is given to you, but the money can only be given to you fifty yuan."
Chen Xiuyun stopped arguing and agreed immediately.
The argument was too thin, and Old Lady Li wanted to be a fool again. The small courtyard of the third family did not repair mud walls. As long as there was another door, it would be a yard, an extra room, and a pigpen inside, which would save her from trouble.
Of course, Zhang Fengmei and Ma Meili disagreed. The two of them opposed it. As soon as they said a few words, Old Man Jiang pulled his face and said, "You guys are here to be the one!" They shut up in awkward manner.
"You take some food, but I will give me and my old woman a total of eight kilograms of grain in the next month."
Chen Xiuyun also agreed readily to this condition.
As long as you can separate the family, it’s nothing to give some food! Although life may be more difficult, you will be a family in the future and your life will be only comfortable. When Chen Xiuyun thought about this, she thought of Jiang Jianmin and she wanted to cry again.
When Old Man Jiang spoke, Wu Xiulian scared Old Mrs. Li again, and the next process of splitting up was very relaxed.
In the future, the old couple will be blessed with the second brother Jiang in name, and the third family will also give eight kilograms of grain every month, each of which will be divided into fifty yuan.
Zhang Fengmei and Ma Meili have made good plans. Tomorrow, they will build a fence wall in the yard and separate the yards. They will pass through each family. There is no need to squeeze together to grab food and build a stove in the future.
The two of them planned to be very beautiful, but Old Man Jiang did not want to divide the big yard into two. Although he was nominally with the second family, he did not plan to split the yard. Considering this, he seemed to be generous in giving the yard of the Sanfang family to Chen Xiuyun and his daughter.
Then, Chen Xiuyun took out the paper and wrote three copies of the ownership of the house and the support of the two elderly people. She asked Old Man Jiang to sign it. After signing it herself, the three secretaries who came to be witnesses signed it.
In triplicate, the brigade secretary left one.
After the dispute was over and the dust settled, Jiang Xinyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
