The Wang family's vigorous commotion finally alerted the police.
There is no need for Wang Shumei to open her mouth, the neighbors and aunts can finish everything with just one word.
There are even those who have suffered losses at the hands of Chen Daya. After adding fuel and jealousy, they even pulled the sleeves of the police comrades, insisting that they arrest Chen Daya, the scourge.
Naturally, it was impossible to arrest someone for this kind of family matter, so the police comrades asked the neighborhood committee to mediate.
But there is no one in the whole street whom Chen Daya has not offended. She can't even remember how many times she has made trouble in the neighborhood committee over the years.
After the director of the neighborhood committee came, she first criticized Chen Daya, then criticized Dad Wang, and even took out Chen Daya's son to criticize... Finally, she took Wang Shumei's hand and said with distressed eyes:
"Shumei, my aunt has watched you grow up. I know what kind of child you are. If you are not forced to be anxious, you can't make such a fuss. You say what you want to do, and aunt will make the decision for you."
Wang Shumei hugged Wang Xiaoxiao and said in a choked voice: "Aunt, this family can't accommodate our three sisters. I want to move out. They will have nothing to do with me in the future... I can't let this woman grind my younger brother and sister to death. Okay, then how can I be worthy of my mother?"
The director's aunt was an experienced woman, and she instantly understood that Wang Shumei wanted to separate the family.
She thought about the things Wang Shumei had given her and was willing to help her, so she said: "Guarding this stupid father and bastard stepmother, you children will not have a good life... That's okay, I'll make the decision." You separate your families.”
"Damn old lady, what are you talking about? Are you the one who decides to separate the family? Why do you care about my family affairs?" Chen Daya jumped out anxiously, pointing at the director's nose with her hands on her hips and scolding her.
She had spoken harshly just now, but it didn't mean that she really wanted Wang Damin and Wang Xiaoxiao to leave. With them here, Wang Shumei's salary would have to be remitted to her home honestly, and Qian Guozhu would have to send it home if he had anything to do. grain.
The director's aunt has lived for more than fifty years, but she has never been scolded by anyone. Her face turned red with anger, and she slapped Chen Daya's hand aside: "If you don't listen to me, you will listen to this black guy." A darling?" She impatiently spoke to Chen Daya, then turned to look at Dad Wang: "If you are still a man, just say something and leave a way for Xiaozhen and the other three children to survive!"
Father Wang opened his mouth and tried hard for a long time, but still no sound came out.
The director's aunt shook her head in anger and asked the deputy director to drag Dad Wang to the neighborhood committee to sign the separation.
Seeing that there was no chance of things turning around, Chen Daya wanted to take this opportunity to steal back the things that had just been taken away. As a result, the neighbor aunts moved all the belongings of Wang Shumei, the three of them, and the empty wardrobe to the next door yard. No matter how much Chen Daya cursed, she didn't give her a chance.
There was a big fuss, and Wang Shumei took her younger siblings to Qian Guozhu's house on New Year's Eve.
"sister in law……"
Wang Shumei felt embarrassed when she saw her sister-in-law with a big belly.
"Come in, come in, I've been saying it for a long time. If you don't come back, I'm going to report to the police." My sister-in-law smiled softly. She didn't show any surprise or complaint when she saw so much luggage. She hugged Wang Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao , Damin, you two come here, my sister-in-law hasn’t packed up the West Room yet, your sister is exhausted after riding all the way, can you come and help my sister-in-law clean up?"
After pushing the two younger ones apart, the sister-in-law pulled Wang Shumei over and rubbed the calluses on her palms with her fingers. Her eyes turned red: "I have become darker and thinner. I must have suffered a lot from outside... Let's go home. Let's go home." Ah, sister-in-law will roll out the noodles for you."
Wang Shumei, who had endured her emotions for a day, couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged her sister-in-law's neck and cried like a child.
"Don't cry, don't cry anymore. Coming out is better than anything else. Our good days are yet to come..."
"Don't be afraid. If the sky falls, my sister-in-law and your brother will support me. My sister-in-law is tall, so we won't be afraid of anything..."
"It's okay, it's all over..."
…
Shaanxi Province, Yu City.
Wen Lan pushed a cart of briquettes home. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and shouted: "Xiao Tao, Xiao Guo, come here to unload the coal!"
The two younger ones did not shout out, but they called out Mother Wen first.
When she saw her third daughter's face darkened, Mother Wen immediately became angry: "Wen Tao! Didn't I ask you to buy coal? Why did you let your third sister go? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
Wen Tao, the fourth child of the Wen family, trotted over and muttered in a low voice unhappily: "Third sister has only been gone for a few months, and she has become a treasure when she comes home. I will go to the countryside in the spring, so why don't you treat me like a treasure?" ?”
"How can you and your sister be the same? Your sister has been working outside for more than half a year, and you..."
"Hey, I was wrong, okay? If you don't want to relieve your anger, why don't you hit me twice?"
Wen Tao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and just moved his head.
Wen Lan wanted to help, but Wen's mother stopped her.
"Look at how gray your face is. Go and wash up quickly." Mother Wen rushed Wen Lan to wash her face and swept the dust off her body with a broom. She did not forget to tell her, "Go back and change your clothes. Your third father will wait for you later." I want to bring his colleague’s child over.”
Wen Lan was puzzled: "Come here, why should I change clothes?"
"Melon girl!"
Mother Wen slapped Wen Lan in a slap in the face, "That boy is a worker in a soy sauce factory. He is honest and capable. You are not too young and you are not at home. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to visit relatives, why don't you wait until we see each other?" When? In two years, she will become an old girl. What will happen if she can’t get married? "
"Yes, put on the new sweater your eldest sister knitted for you. Your eldest brother also bought you a red gauze scarf. You can wear it too."
Wen Lan: "...!"
Could she just beat out the guy who came for a blind date?
No one gave her any advice, so she could only ask sincerely: "Mom, can I hit him?"
Mother Wen gave her a roll of her eyes and let her experience it herself.
Wen Lan nodded understandingly.
Her mother didn't object, so she could beat her.
…
Shili Brigade.
This year has been a good year, every household has made a lot of money, and this year has been particularly lively.
In the educated youth spot, Wang Xue ran in with a big beet in her arms, smiled and said to Miao Hongqi: "Hongqi, Aunt Li gave us a beet, let's roast it and eat it later!"
"Okay." Miao Hongqi wiped her hands with her apron, "I just made a few braziers in the house. We will take a bath when the water boils."
"good!"
They were the only two people left in the huge educated youth spot. At this time last year, Yu Xiangqin was still there.
When it got dark, the two of them soaked in the tub and whispered.
"Hongqi, Aunt Feng came to me two days ago and said she wanted to introduce someone to me...it was Xiao Li from the police station. Do you think I should agree?"
"If you get married, you won't be able to return to the city."
"Going back to the city? I've stopped looking forward to it...Besides, what can I do when I go back? My stepmother has always wanted to sell me to her son as a wife! I can't let her get it even if I get married!"
Miao Hongqi was habitually silent. In fact, she is not a good conversation partner because she always doesn't know what to say.
Wang Xue had long been accustomed to her silence, and said to herself: "I was thinking, it would be good to marry Xiao Li. Once you get married, you can get a registered permanent residence. The textile factory has been recruiting workers recently. I want to try to see if I can be a Worker."
Miao Hongqi thought for a long time and only said: "You have many ideas. Whatever you think is good is good."
Wang Xue probably didn't think that marrying Xiao Li was the life she wanted, and she didn't want to think about these things under Nian Gen. She changed the subject and said: "When I went to town to prescribe medicine for the principal today, I heard that Duan Hongmei from the Jiuli Brigade swallowed an iron ball the size of a quail egg in order to seek medical treatment and had to be taken to the health center for surgery!"
"Huh? How did she swallow it?"
"She's lucky! She said she had stomach pain for several days, but she refused to go to the health center. Uncle He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he dragged her there... Is there anything else that I don't understand about this examination?"
"Why bother..."
"I want to go home..."
