Chapter 20
It was still the glutinous yard where the movie was played, where Qiu Mei shook hands with the leader in full view of everyone.
His expression was a little confused. It was not until he took the envelope in his hand that an honest smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Sure enough, it is better to give a huge sum of money than to ask about your well-being.
Everyone looked forward on tiptoe, wanting to know how much money it is.
Out of encouragement to everyone, the commune leaders also expressed the amount.
"Thanks to Comrade Qiu Mei for his bravery. The organization specially rewarded her with a 50 yuan bonus. I hope everyone can learn from her."
As soon as this said, it was like pouring cold water on boiling oil, boiling.
"Fifty yuan, beloved, why did I have to watch that broken movie? I would have stayed at home."
"The organization is so generous, I have given so much!"
You should know that even the workers in the county town have a monthly salary of only about ten yuan, which is worth several months of salary.
All kinds of envious and even jealous eyes rushed towards Qiu Mei.
Many people's hearts were filled with some sour smell.
A man said disdainfully: "She is lucky, so the same goes for me."
Gao Xiaohe, who had passed the confinement period, also stood in the crowd and looked at the voice-off coldly.
"We didn't see you rushing in front when we were scrambling the water from the next team. This time the bad guy was holding a knife in his hand. Do you dare to get it? Qiu Mei exchanged for his life. What's the money? Maybe it's not enough to treat her brother's legs."
The man stretched his neck and was about to refute, but he glanced at Qiu Mei who was walking down and didn't dare to speak.
The others gradually calmed down.
Yes, there is indeed a lot of money to say, but the situation of the Qiu family can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
The older one in her family is lame, the two younger ones are not at ease, and one is still drinking milk.
If something happened to Qiu Mei at that time, the money would have become a pension.
Thinking of this, everyone's mentality was balanced, and after the leaders encouraged everyone to actively protect collective property, they were distracted.
But those who are interested still set their sights on the money.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, this is a personal property rewarded to Qiu Mei.
To put it bluntly, this is her future dowry!
When Qiu Mei was so strong that she could work in the field, she had such a large dowry, which made many people tempted.
As soon as Qiu Mei entered the house, Shi Xiaoqing followed her.
"You girl, I called you several times from behind, didn't you hear me?"
Looking at the aunt's innocent smile, Qiu Mei couldn't help but frown, feeling that this person's skin was really thicker than imagined.
This was the first to appear, and then another intimate voice.
"Xiaomei, I'll come to see you."
Qiu Yu looked out the door and was his second aunt Xu Hong who had not been in contact for a long time.
Seeing Shi Xiaoqing taking the lead ahead of him, Xu Hong's eyes flashed with annoyance, but soon returned to his intimate smile.
"My sister-in-law is here too, isn't this a coincidence?"
Shi Xiaoqing snorted from his nose. Although these two men were sisters-in-law, they had long disliked each other. Only when they were on the united front could they be closer.
But now their targets are Qiu Mei, so the two of them naturally became opponents.
Shi Xiaoqing spoke first, "I was not good last time. This time my aunt introduced you to a good one. She is diligent and tall. I'm sure you like it."
Xu Hong immediately responded: "Sister-in-law, you are not talking about the children of your mother's brothers, right? I think those are not worthy of our Xiaomei, and I have better ones here."
Qiu Mei watched the two confrontation without saying a word, and at this moment, another sound came from outside the door.
"Is the girl from the Qiu family here? See what good news I have brought to you."
Qiu Yu looked at it again and found that this was Aunt Zhao, a professional matchmaker in the village.
Yes, even he could guess that these people were not thinking about her sister, but they were thinking about the fifty dollars.
