Qin Huairu thought that the neighbors were envious of the Jia family for having so much savings, and based on the principle that the Jia family could not be richer than them, he wrote a letter specifically to call Auntie back to the courtyard to get the money.
Regardless of whether the aunt was called back by letters from the neighbors, she had to find a way to deal with the aunt.
Qin Huairu greeted the enthusiastic neighbors and the aunt with warm words in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, looking at the aunt with a smile.
It's just that her smile, in the eyes of the aunt, is comparable to smelling shit, as disgusting as it is.
Ignoring Qin Huairu's hypocrisy.
Get to the point.
"Qin Huairu, there are some things that I won't say. You know it, and the neighbors also know it. Don't come here in vain. I'm here to get our Lao Yi's money."
Qin Huairu didn't expect Auntie to be so direct.
Ming picked it.
I said something bad in my heart.
from now on.
The Jia family's life in the courtyard can only be described as difficult.
The Jia family's rich wealth was accidentally exposed, and the Jia family gained the reputation of being the richest man in the courtyard. Under such circumstances, the Jia family could no longer use the means of crying for poverty to squeeze benefits from the neighbors.
Inside the steel rolling mill, there was another outrage.
Both ends are bad.
The Jia family will be isolated.
Banggen is twelve years old, and in another seven or eight years, he will be at the age where he can go on a blind date and marry a wife. Banquets, betrothal gifts, three rounds of rings, etc. all have to be spent, and they all have to come from the Jia family’s savings of more than 2,000 yuan. Inside out.
If this is given to a aunt.
What will Bangge get married for in the future?
Xiaodang and Huaihua also bought dowries.
Even if this money is given to the aunt, it can only be given to a very small part.
"Auntie, you also know the situation of our family, and the neighbors also know that I, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, cannot be the head of the Jia family. If I give you this money, when my mother-in-law Jia Zhang comes back, she will definitely Beat me to death. You wait here while I go find my mother-in-law. I won’t run away. I work in the steel rolling mill and my home is in our courtyard. Where are you going to run?"
Qin Huairu threw the Sophora japonica into Auntie's arms.
He ran wildly towards the outside of the courtyard.
Sometimes, being rude is more effective than being reasonable.
…
Jia Zhang was once again stopped at the entrance of an alley.
Different from last time.
The person who stopped her this time was dressed as a country woman.
A trace of disdain flashed across Jia Zhang's eyes.
The woman seemed not to notice Jia Zhang's disdain, and smiled at Jia Zhang.
"Sister, as soon as I saw your face, I knew you were a good person. My boss said that if I can go into the city, I would not trouble the people in the city. It is best not to trouble the people in the city. If I really want to trouble the people in the city, I can't. It’s no use bothering me, I need to pay you.”
Jia Zhang pursed her lips.
She was moved by the money the woman was talking about.
Be someone else.
Jia Zhang might have suspected that someone was setting a trap for her.
The woman in front of her, Jia Zhang, had no intention of being wary.
On her feet were worn cloth shoes with torn holes exposing her toes. There was mud on the cloth shoes of her left foot, and there was chicken droppings on the clasp of her right shoe.
Barefoot.
No socks on.
Mrs. Jia Zhang even saw stains on the woman's ankles.
The legs are covered with patched gray cloth trousers, the top is a blue striped jacket with several patches, and the face is dusty.
When looking at Mrs. Jia Zhang, the expression on the woman's face was sometimes anxious and sometimes hopeful.
"Where are you going?"
"To be honest, eldest sister, I came to the city today to look for someone, and the head of the house also gave me the address. But I didn't expect that the city has changed so much. It's completely different from when I came to the city more than ten years ago."
Mrs. Jia Zhang complained in her heart.
If you go into the city today and refer to the layout ten years ago, it would be strange to find it.
Some were demolished.
Some are covered.
"It's so noisy that I don't even know where to go. Sister, look at this place. Do you recognize it?"
The woman handed the note to Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang attended literacy classes for a period of time.
I know some words.
After taking a look, she knew where the address written on the note was. It was in an alley not too far away from where she was now.
"You keep walking along this place. When you get to the front, turn left, then go straight. When you reach the intersection, turn right, and keep walking. When you see a bust, turn right and walk ten meters."
"Sister, you are such a good person. I thank you and I bow to you."
The woman bent ninety degrees.
Then his face was filled with sadness.
Use a consultative tone.
He said to Mrs. Jia Zhang: "Sister, it stands to reason that if you show me the way, I have to follow my wishes as the head of the house. I can't let you work in vain. I will discuss with you whether there is a hut nearby, not the upper hut. I went into the city today, and the boss was worried that I had lost my money, so he asked me to sew the money on my pants so that I could find the latrine."
She is indeed a woman from the countryside.
Money hidden in pants.
Return the hut.
That's called a toilet.
Contempt flashed across Jia Zhang's face once again.
She thought about it.
There seemed to be no huts around, and those that existed were far away. That place happened to be not far from the address the woman was looking for.
For money's sake.
Mrs. Jia Zhang decided to take the woman with her.
"After thinking about it, I think it's better for my wife to take you there. Looking at you, you can tell that you didn't hear a word I said."
"Sister, you are really amazing. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I don't know a single word. What you just said to me went in one ear and out the other. You took me to find it. I can rest assured. When we get to the place, I will definitely give it." The woman paused and said with a determined tone, "Give eldest sister five cents."
No matter how small the mosquito is.
It is also meat.
Who says five cents is not money?
Mrs. Jia Zhang took the woman and walked towards the address written on the woman's note.
On the road.
Chatting without a word.
Mainly Jia Zhang asked and the woman answered.
It didn't take long.
Jia Zhang found out the woman's true identity.
According to the woman's explanation, her surname was Liu, her husband's surname was Jia, and her given name was Ren. People in the village called her Jia Liu. She came to the city this time to find someone to see a doctor.
What disease specifically.
The woman did not elaborate.
Unwilling to give up, Jia Zhang tried to trick him several times, but all failed.
The woman gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.
Jia Zhang also gave up the idea of clichés.
She led the woman to the hut, took the five cents with her body temperature from the woman, and watched the woman enter the hut next to her.
About three or four minutes.
The woman came out of the hut.
She had a sad face before entering the house, but when she came out, she had a relaxed look on her face.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was also keen to see a piece of yellow paper in the woman's hand, which looked like a talisman from a distance.
My heart moved.
Isn't this the ghost-catching expert that I have been looking for so hard?
No wonder the woman refused to spit.
Think about the present moment.
Jia Zhang was relieved.
