Today is Friday, Jiang Xinyu asked for leave after finishing three classes in the morning.
Jiang Yuzhu is leaving by train tomorrow. Before leaving, the family will have a meal together.
There were still two unsold watches. After discussing with Chen Yi, she decided to give Jiang Yuzhu a watch as a gift.
This gift was quite important in this day and age, but the two of them gave it away without any hesitation.
When I got home, there were quite a few people in the yard.
Some of the neighbors in the village came with boiled eggs, and some brought steamed buns with whole grains. It was as if the whole village was saving travel expenses for the "college students." No matter what the relationship was like in the past, everyone is here now.
Join in the fun.
Everyone was asking questions about what kind of job Jiang Yuzhu would do when he arrived in the capital.
Jiang Yuzhu answered with a dry mouth and a burning tongue.
"You can let us know when the movie from last year will be shown here. We really want to see it."
"From now on, Yuzhu will specialize in making movies, so we can watch some of them in the future."
"I said before that Yuzhu was very handsome, so that's good. From now on we can point to the people in the movie and say this is our Wuliqiao Brigade."
…
Everyone was talking, not to mention Jiang Yuzhu, the person involved. Jiang Xinyu couldn't stand it anymore.
If she didn't know Jiang Yuzhu, she would have thought she was some big shot.
The second aunt Ma Meili was salivating when she said it, as if Jiang Yuzhu was her biological daughter.
This is really a good thing. Chen Xiuyun also bought some hard candies, not many in quantity, just to give everyone a sweet treat and cheer them up.
When the yard was bustling with activity, Jiang Laosan came in sweating profusely.
He turned pale and said, "Dad, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and mother are dead! They were pushed down by that evil woman in my family and fell to death."
Jiang, who was smoking a dry cigarette, paused, his mind unable to turn around for a moment, "What did you say?"
Jiang Laosan repeated it again.
This time, it was really quiet in the yard and you could hear a pin drop.
If there are no people around, why is there so much excitement?
Everyone moved their positions instantly.
"Jiang Laosan, was your mother really beaten to death by Zhang Fengmei?"
Jiang Xinyu was convinced by the aunt who asked this question. If she remembered correctly, what Jiang Laosan just said was "push down", but when it came to the aunt's mouth, it directly changed to "beat to death"?
Is this still in person? If it were behind the scenes, how could this rumor develop out of control?
Jiang Laosan wiped his sweat and said: "She accidentally pushed my mother, and my mother couldn't stand still. Who would have thought... ugh!"
He didn't know how his mother fell. It seemed vaguely that his hand accidentally pushed her mother's shoulder.
Old Man Jiang threw away the cigarette and cursed angrily: "Your wife is not a good person. She dares to attack the old woman. I will go back and beat her to death!"
Jiang Laoer, who was running in front, looked anxious, but Ma Meili, who was following behind, didn't feel sad at all, but rather a little relaxed?
It would be nice to die. She is not young anymore and should have died long ago.
I have been difficult to deal with for half my life, and now I have had enough of it! I don’t have to bother anyone anymore.
Everyone hurried to Mrs. Jiang's house and saw Zhang Fengmei kneeling beside Mrs. Li, crying.
Old Man Jiang kicked the man down and cursed: "Get out of here, I don't have a daughter-in-law as vicious as you!"
Jiang Laoer sat on the ground and cried: "Mom! Don't die!"
Jiang Laosan also cried with runny nose and tears.
Ma Meili didn't cry, she simply couldn't cry.
Chen Xiuyun didn't cry either. This was not her biological mother, but an evil mother-in-law. She couldn't shed a single tear.
Lin Rongping's daughter-in-law Wang Hong, who lives next door, asked: "Just now I heard Uncle Jiang that you were beating Baoqin's mother, and then Baoqin started to beat her, so I went back to the house, why did Baoqin lose her milk?"
Already?"
Wang Hong asked on purpose. Before Jiang Laosan went to Jiang Xinyu's house to call for help, he had already had a quarrel with Zhang Fengmei.
He scolded Zhang Fengmei for killing him
Mom, Zhang Fengmei said she didn’t push it, it was him.
Jiang Laosan's expression at that time was so cannibalistic that after a series of vicious accusations, Zhang Fengmei finally suspected that she had accidentally pushed him down.
Jiang Laosan felt guilty and slapped Zhang Fengmei hard, "You give my mother back. If you hadn't stopped me from sending something to my sister-in-law's house, my mother wouldn't have been so angry that she would have hit you! You are a harmful person!"
"
Chen Xiuyun frowned on the side. Jiang Laosan is really not a good person. What does Mrs. Li's death have to do with her? If she were not involved, wouldn't he be able to speak?
However, it was not the time to open her mouth at this time. She turned around and saw Jiang Xinyu opening her mouth to speak. She tugged on her sleeves and warned her with her eyes to shut up and don't say anything.
If you say something unpleasant, people in the village will think that you are uneducated and unprofessional.
Jiang Xinyu yawned, looked at her mother inexplicably, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
She didn't think about what she would say here without the foresight. At the moment of death, she still knew what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
She was just a little sleepy.
Not many people were truly saddened by Mrs. Li's death, but none of Jiang Xinyu's family shed a single tear.
This old lady was so capable of being a monster when she was alive, but now that she is dead, she is considered pure.
Zhang Fengmei was beaten so hard by the angry old Jiang that she couldn't get up. Jiang Laosan also kicked her viciously several times.
As for the onlookers in the village, they all despised her. After all, they all felt that any daughter-in-law who dared to attack her mother-in-law must be taught a lesson, not to mention that Mrs. Li was already dead. It was really not an exaggeration to kill her.
Jiang Yuzhu is leaving tomorrow. Even though what happened to Mrs. Li, Chen Xiuyun still cooked a few dishes and the family had a meal and drank some wine together.
After finishing the meal, Chen Xiuyun gave Jiang Yuzhu three hundred yuan and a small amount of national bills.
Jiang Yuzhu went out for the first time, so the mother-in-law was naturally worried. However, she was accompanied by staff from the county cultural center who were going to the capital, so they were able to take care of her on the way.
The studio also sent a telegram back, and someone would pick it up as soon as it arrived in the capital.
"Put your money and tickets in the innermost pocket. I sewed a pocket for you. As long as you don't take off your clothes, it won't fall out..."
Chen Xiuyun was either afraid that she would be stolen on the train, or that something else would happen to her, so she explained a lot.
Jiang Zhenzhen and Zhang Hua gave Jiang Yuzhu twenty yuan.
As for Jiang Xinyu, she gave the watch away before lying on the bed with Jiang Yuzhu.
Jiang Yuzhu was really flattered, "This is too expensive, I can't have it."
Jiang Xinyu lay down and said casually: "Keep it, this is what Chen Yi and I want. When you go to the capital, this watch can also help you save face. But what others have, we don't have, don't feel inferior.
Believe that one day you will have it sooner or later."
She looks forward to Jiang Yuzhu becoming a well-known actress in the future.
Jiang Yuzhu lay on the bed and stared at the roof with her eyes open, looking forward to and afraid of tomorrow and the future.
She couldn't imagine what would happen after today, but as long as she could get out of here, she would be full of courage.
