"Mom, if dad really dies in the war, the people from the county government will send you pension and documents. If you don't receive these, dad will still be alive. We can't curse dad to death. It's so unlucky."
Ji Xiaobei didn't want Lin to cry anymore, which would seriously affect her mood.
"You three have eaten enough. Go and do whatever you have to do. Mom, please rest in the room for a while." Ji Xiaobei said with a wave of his hand.
She sat down at the door. She was so big that she looked like a doorkeeper.
Mrs. Lin looked at her and felt a lot more at ease. In future fights with Lao Er's family, she wouldn't lose too badly.
Xiaohua was playing with sticks in the yard, turning stones to dry herbs, Xiaoju went to clean up the kitchen, and Mrs. Lin was mending her torn socks with needle and thread.
Calm returned to the yard.
Ji Xiaobei leaned on the door frame and took a nap. He felt sleepy after eating!
In a daze, there was another knock on the door behind her.
"Ms. Lin, are you at home?"
"Sister-in-law Ji, are you okay?"
…
There were voices chattering outside the door.
"She can't even come out. It seems her man must be dead."
"Can what Ergou said be wrong? He can't curse his brother to death..."
"Er Gou said, Mr. Ji, everyone eats white-flour meat buns, the fat ones, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Ah, they used all the pension money to buy buns and ate it..."
…
Ji Xiaobei couldn't listen anymore: Damn it, the second uncle didn't take advantage here, so he didn't give up. The whole village must have known about Ji Daniu's death now.
These women, this rumor is a bit outrageous, it sounds like they ate meat buns stained with the blood of Ji Daniu...
It's a pity that they don't know that they are divorced, otherwise my mother must be the most beautiful girl in this village, and she will be poked in the back wherever she goes.
"Stop knocking. If the door is broken, you will have to pay for it!"
Hearing Ji Xiaobei's voice, the women's intensity in banging on the door was obviously reduced by 50%.
"Xiaobei, let's see your mother. You have told such a big thing. Can she bear it alone?" The speaker was Mrs. Song from the east neighbor.
"Aunt Song, what happened to my family, why didn't I know?" Ji Xiaobei opened the door and asked coldly.
"Well, it's not that your father is dead..." Mrs. Song asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Your father just died?" Ji Xiaobei cursed unceremoniously. These people were just here to watch the fun, and no one was sincere.
"You..." Aunt Song's face turned pale with anger. Why is this girl still talking like this? After two years of marriage, her mother-in-law has not trained her well?
Looking up and seeing Ji Xiaobei's thick arms, she didn't dare to say anything.
After all, she had seen Ji Xiaobei ride on her son and beat him black and blue.
Ji Xiaobei took the hoe behind the door, turned it twice in the air, and said loudly: "Whoever spreads the news that my father is dead from now on, I will go to her house and chop her father up. Do you hear that?"
All the women looked at the hoes above their heads, their faces turned pale with fear.
One of them boldly said: "Xiaobei, why did you come to your parents' house to show off your power?"
"You don't care about me. My mother hasn't said anything yet. It's your turn to fool around."
Several women were so frightened that they dispersed and ran away.
Ji Xiaobei put down the hoe and danced a few times. He was so tired. His body looked mighty and majestic, but in fact it was empty inside and could not resist creation.
Xiaohua tried her best to purse her lips to prevent herself from laughing.
She was once laughed at by her friends because her eldest sister was rude and tough and couldn't get married. Now she feels that she needs to learn from her eldest sister's tough and unreasonable attitude.
If mother were like this, she wouldn’t be bullied by others.
She went to pick up the hoe on the ground. It was so heavy!
It was difficult to lift it up, so she looked at her eldest sister with admiration.
Ji Xiaobei squinted his eyes and looked at the dark and thin little girl in front of him. According to her previous professional habits, she must have picked her up, touched her, and praised her. Now she has no obligation to do this and is too lazy to pay attention to her.
She walked around Ji Xiaobei several times, feeling bored, and continued to pick up sticks with her butt sticking out.
In ancient times, these children only played with sticks and clay balls, and she didn't get tired of playing with them all day long.
After squinting for a while, Ji Xiaobei felt a little cold, so she stood up.
There was no one in the yard again. She must have gone to the fields. The spring planting was about to begin. Last year, the fields were flooded. After the water receded, every household had to plow it. As soon as spring started this year, people started planting again. Start digging the ground.
Ji Xiaobei closed the door and walked towards his home field based on his memory.
The original grandmother has three sons, and the second and third uncles live with her.
Ever since Ji Daniu went out to serve as a soldier, grandma had divided up the main house.
The old man's family had many people to eat and few to work. Grandma gave Lin's family two acres of thin farmland and sent them out.
Pay the monthly payment of three pounds of fine grain every month.
These three kilograms of fine grains were squeezed out by Lin's family through their teeth.
The villagers were pointing behind their backs, but Ji Xiaobei acted as if they didn't hear anything. She suddenly turned around and went to Li Zheng's house.
There were three broken houses in Li Zheng's house. A piece of door panel was missing. Two children with runny noses and bubbles were lying on the ground playing with their heads touching.
"Where is your father?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
The two children didn't even raise their heads, they stretched out their hands and pointed: "Home!"
"Grandpa Li Zheng!" Ji Xiaobei shouted as he entered the door.
"Ji Xiaobei, why did you come back to your parents' home?" Ji Lizheng asked. After asking, he felt a little abrupt. This kid must have come back after hearing that her father was dead.
"Master Li Zheng! There are rumors outside that my father is dead. You have to take care of this matter!" Ji Xiaobei said with red eyes.
Ji Lizheng was stunned, thinking that this girl was so naive, no wonder she couldn't get married a few years ago.
How can he deal with the gossips of the mothers-in-law? How can he seal the mouths of the women-in-law? No matter how high his official position is, he can't do that thing.
However, this kid knows how to remember his mother's family and is also a good kid with a conscience.
Li Zheng sighed and said, "It's not necessarily that your father is gone. The official documents haven't even come down yet!"
Ji Xiaobei choked up and said, "Grandpa Li Zheng, I think so too. My father is determined and will be fine. What else will happen to us orphans and widowed mothers?"
The rich girl was sobbing and crying, and Ji Lizheng was also a little sad. After all, he had watched Ji Daniu grow up.
"Master Li Zheng, if my father really dies, the county government will send the pension to you first. It is what my father paid for with his life. It is the capital for my mother and younger brothers and sisters to live. You have to make the decision for us. "
Ji Xiaobei wiped away tears and looked at Li Zheng miserably.
Mrs. Ji, Ji Ergou, and Ji Sanhu all covet this small amount of pension. Moreover, Mrs. Lin has a soft temper, and people in the old house have been teasing her.
If Boss Ji is really dead, it is possible that based on Mrs. Ji's urinary behavior, she will seize the money and drive them out as orphans and widowers.
Ji Lizheng had known about this matter for a long time and it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to care about it, but he couldn't just say that he didn't care about it.
When Li Zheng was in a dilemma, his daughter-in-law came out of the house and said with a sly smile: "Xiao Bei, although your father is said to be Li Zheng, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. It is not easy for outsiders to interfere in your family's affairs. !”
