The bride price of fifteen yuan... The Li family is really generous, the residents murmured.
Life in rural areas is difficult these days.
For the bare-bones men in the city who cannot find a wife, if they marry the most beautiful girl in the commune, they will be given at most two kilograms of fine white flour and two feet of flower cloth.
"Then I have been busy in your Li family, taking care of you two for several months without any remuneration for my labor. You are more ruthless than Huang Shiren!"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu bit her red lips and said, "Even if I work in the commune for a day, I can still get five work points!"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Qin Huairu regretted it a little, and her face became paler.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu's face turned hot and red.
Everyone knows that Qin Huairu moved to the Li family after getting engaged to Li Aiguo.
The Li family has a total of two rooms, one for Li's father and one for Li Aiguo.
Qin Huairu lived in Li Aiguo's house, but it was separated by a cotton curtain.
The two of them were in their prime of life, and the cotton curtain seemed too thin. Even if something happened, no one would be surprised.
"Snapped!"
The mocking, sarcastic gaze was like a knife thrust into Jia Dongxu's chest.
Jia Dongxu felt that his face had been completely humiliated by Qin Huairu, so he stood up and threw out a big bag of pussy.
Qin Huairu covered her face, a few crystal tears overflowed from her eyes, her shoulders shook and she sobbed: "Dongxu, I am really not sorry for you. Nothing happened to Li Aiguo and I back then. Didn't you also check it out when we got married? "
Seeing Qin Huairu's pitiful look, Sha Zhu felt heartbroken.
Even though he was lying on the edge of the bed and couldn't stand up, he still raised his head and glared at Jia Dongxu: "Jia Dongxu, what are you doing? Sister Xiao Qin is such a good person, but you are willing to beat her!"
Jia Dongxu calmed down and thought that he did see plum blossoms on the wedding night and felt that he was being played by Li Aiguo.
He turned around and wanted to vent the anger in his heart.
But thinking of Silly Zhu's tragic situation just now, he shrank his neck and sat down.
Useless things... Jia Zhang didn't want to see Qin Huairu.
But this matter involves more than ten dollars.
"Li Aiguo, you also heard what my daughter-in-law said. How do you settle the account?"
"Okay, Qin Huairu served me very well back then. I gave her a high price, five yuan for two months. Without those floral cotton cloths, thermos bottles, etc., it only costs fifteen yuan."
Li Aiguo looked around at the guys: "What do you think?"
The service was comfortable... Everyone suppressed their smiles and nodded: "Five yuan for two months is a lot. The work points in the commune are not valuable. Qin Huairu worked in the fields for a year and could not earn more than five yuan." Bucks.”
"Then Qin Huairu still owes me fifteen yuan. Please pay me back immediately." Li Aiguo strode into the house.
"No money! Our family doesn't have a penny, what can you do!"
Jia Zhang saw that being reasonable was no match for him, so he skillfully acted like a rogue.
Li Aiguo is now alone, with no father, no mother, no brothers, and little power.
And the Jia family has Jia Dongxu and the care of the first uncle.
Li Aiguo is certainly no match for the Jia family.
Jia Zhang made a wishful thinking and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Suddenly, a serious voice came from outside the door.
"It is natural to pay back debts. This is a new society. No one is allowed to bully the weak in our neighborhood."
Everyone turned to look and saw Director Wang from the subdistrict office walking over with his hands behind his back.
Behind her were Yan Jiefang, a member of the Yan family, and an old man with gray hair.
Yan Jiefang, who was only five or six years old at this time, jogged all the way to Li Aiguo, stretched out his little hand and puffed up his cheeks: "Brother Aiguo, where is the money you promised me?"
“It would be great to free you!”
Li Aiguo took out 1 cent from his pocket and placed it in Yan Jiefang's hand.
Yan Jiefang took the money and ran out with a giggle.
Yan Bugui was jealous.
...
When Yi Zhonghai saw Director Wang coming in, his heart trembled, and he stood up to greet him.
"Director, I want to make a review. As the master of the courtyard, I failed to manage the courtyard well and failed to live up to your expectations. I feel deeply ashamed."
After hearing this, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui also stood up and drooped their heads, looking like they were being trained.
"Lao Yi, when our neighborhood chose you to be the stewards, we thought that you would have high prestige and be able to unite the masses and prevent enemy agents from infiltrating."
Director Wang frowned: "I didn't ask you to interfere in the residents' private affairs. What's wrong with you?"
"This..." Yi Zhonghai broke into a cold sweat.
He and Director Wang are old friends, and Director Wang has never reprimanded him in this tone.
Could it be... Yi Zhonghai turned his attention to the old man behind Director Wang.
The old man has gray hair and is wearing a dark blue railway uniform, with a five-pointed star emblazoned with the "Road Badge" logo on his employee cap.
The old man entered the house and walked straight to Li Aiguo. Looking at Li Aiguo's emaciated appearance, he looked a little moved: "Aiguo, you kid, you have suffered so much injustice, why didn't you tell your uncle! Your father and I are... Come on, brother, if your father hadn't kicked me off the driver's floor back then, my old bones would have been buried in the soil."
At this time, Li Aiguo retrieved the old man's identity information from the memory of the original owner.
The old man is a colleague of Li Aiguo's father, and his name is Zhou Tiehu.
At that time, Li Aiguo's father was the driver and the old man was the co-driver.
In that tragic accident, Li's father saved Zhou Tiehu's life when the train was about to derail.
After the accident, Zhou Tiehu was grateful for Li's father's life-saving grace and tried to repay Li's father with money several times, but was rejected by the stubborn Li's father.
Director Wang pointed at Zhou Tiehu and introduced to Yi Zhonghai: "This is Captain Zhou from the Shijingshan depot of the Beijing Railway Bureau. He was also a close friend of Li Aiguo's father during his lifetime. After learning that Li Aiguo's recent situation was not good, he specially found him. Our street office.”
Her tone became stern, and her sharp gaze pointed directly at Jia Zhang:
"Li Aiguo's father died trying to save national property.
Be a hero.
The railway department once sent a letter of commendation to our street office, asking us to take good care of Comrade Li Aiguo's life.
But you guys feel that Li Aiguo has lost support and are making things difficult for him at every turn.
Your behavior is discrediting the Siheyuan and the street office! "
Hearing this, everyone present lowered their heads. Jia Zhang's face turned pale and the corners of her mouth trembled.
"hehe..."
Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, glared at Jia Zhang and said, "Aunt Jia, Qin Huairu owes the Li family money. She is now your daughter-in-law. You should come up with this money."
"You must be with that little beast Li Aiguo, and you are all here to bully me, a widow!" Mrs. Jia Zhang was unwilling to give in.
"Jia Zhang, don't be ridiculous!" Yi Zhonghai said with a tigerish face.
The crying stopped suddenly.
Jia Zhang also expected Yi Zhonghai to take care of Jia Dongxu. At this time, she did not dare to show her teeth to Yi Zhonghai, so she could only take out fifteen yuan from the cabinet and give it to Li Aiguo.
Seeing Li Aiguo put the money into his pocket, she gritted her teeth in anger.
Damn Li Aiguo, how dare you blackmail our Jia family.
This debt will be paid back sooner or later!
