How many thirty yuan can rural people earn by working day and night in the fields all year round?
Although the folks in Duanjia Village laughed at the joke, no one would sit idly by when people from other villages bullied them right at their doorstep.
"Lu Zhiqing asked well, how much do we rural people earn per month? My husband works on the construction site with Duan Mingjie in the capital, and this year his salary has only increased to 20 yuan a month. This is even if he works full time. Your son is What do you do, I can give you ten yuan a month! You don’t have to worry about your waist being exposed when you talk nonsense!”
"That's right, Duan Mingjie is the only contractor in Shiliba Village. Your two families have never had contact with each other since the death of Minghua's wife. Duan Mingjie will never agree to you working on the construction site. What do your three sons do? Tell me. Let’s listen too, and then we’ll all do it!”
Hu Jizhong and his wife blushed, "Let you know that my son will not be able to make any money!"
"You fart!" said a woman. "My niece is the daughter-in-law of your village. She told me that your three sons are all very lazy and none of them are promising. They stay at home every day and can't make money every month." I’ll give you ten dollars and you’ll really laugh your ass off!”
The anger in Gu Fulan's chest immediately disappeared.
Lu Yao looked at Hu Jizhong and his wife, "What else do you have to say?"
"I said yes!" Hu Jizhong frowned, "My son just gave me ten yuan every month!"
Lu Yao nodded: "Okay, let's just assume that your son gave it to you. When did you start giving it? I can also calculate how much my elder brother should give you."
Duan Minghua frowned, "Brother and sister."
Lu Yao raised her hand to stop Duan Minghua from talking, and said to Duan Minghua, "Brother, what the two old men said is not unreasonable. They married their daughter to you, and now that my sister-in-law is gone, it is right for you to fulfill your filial piety on her behalf. "
Duan Mingjie glanced at Lu Yao, then tugged on Duan Minghua's clothes and shook his head at him.
Duan Minghua stopped talking.
Hearing this, Hu Jizhong and his wife were overjoyed. They looked at each other and thought for a while. Hu Jizhong said, "I gave it to you years ago, and they also gave it to me this month. Just ask your eldest brother not to give me thirty-five yuan." Five dollars a month from now on.”
Gu Fulan pinched her waist and was about to scold him, but Lu Yao blocked him.
"Okay, five yuan a month is nothing to us, we will give it."
Hu Jizhong's wife smiled and said, "Look, the daughter taught by the chief is still well-educated."
"However," Lu Yao's voice changed, "I have a few words to ask you and your wife."
Hu Jizhong's wife was so happy that she was about to set off firecrackers. Now her son was about to surrender Lu Yao. Lu Yao said, "You ask, you ask."
"How much have you and your wife spent in the past six months?"
"How much money can an old farmer spend? He can't even spend a dollar a month."
My family is so poor that I can't afford to spend money.
Lu Yao said, "In that case, you and your wife can have twenty-nine yuan left every month. I'm not good at arithmetic, so I'll round it up. It's twenty yuan a month. That means, seven You can have one hundred and forty yuan left every month."
Hu Jizhong and his wife suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.
At this time, Duan Minghua understood Lu Yao's intention.
Lu Yao smiled at Hu Jizhong and his wife, "Well, let's go back with you. If you can come up with so much money, how about Duan Mingjie and I provide for you and your wife in the future?"
Hu Jizhong and his wife's eyes widened, and their eyes gradually became wandering.
They said this to ask for money from Duan Minghua. Their family didn't even have ten yuan, let alone one hundred and four.
Lu Yao laughed out loud, "Don't you have any?"
With a puff, I don't know who laughed, "Lu Zhiqing is so smart, he was deceived all of a sudden!"
Gu Fulan snorted, "You still want to defraud our family of money, don't even think about it!"
Hu Jizhong realized that he had jumped into Lu Yao's trap and became angry, "We have spent a lot of money in the past six months and all the money has been spent."
"You fart!" Gu Fulan yelled back, "You should tell me where you spent your money!"
Hu Jizhong and his wife were so anxious that they could not say a word.
Lu Yao looked at the two of them, "You keep saying that you hold my sister-in-law in the palm of your hand and dote on me, but I would like to ask the folks who came to help today, have they treated my sister-in-law kindly for a day?!"
The people standing next to Hu Jizhong and his wife were stunned and could not say anything against their will.
"Why did my elder sister-in-law commit suicide? Both your village and our Duanjia Village have a clear understanding of it. When the army came and told us that our elder brother had sacrificed his life, he gave money to his wife and children, but you and your wife were thinking about the money. I have to take it away, am I right?”
"us....."
Hu Jizhong and his wife wanted to refute, but everyone in Duanjia Village saw them coming to ask for money, so they couldn't deny it at all.
The smile on Lu Yao's face remained, "Why don't you speak?"
Hu Jizhong and his wife pursed their lips and looked ugly.
Gu Fulan snorted, "They both have no shame!"
Lu Yao: "My eldest brother was able to save his life because of the careful care of the military hospital and the persistence of his comrades. It is impossible for my eldest brother to wake up."
"After receiving the news of my eldest brother's death, the whole family is immersed in sadness and pain. As a result, your first thought is not to come to comfort, but to ask for money. Do you still have any humanity!"
Lu Yao was so eloquent that she hit the point in every sentence, but Hu Jizhong and his wife were at a loss for words to refute.
"Forget it if you ask for money. If we don't give it to you, you'll have to find a matchmaker for my sister-in-law. Less than a month after my eldest brother's funeral, you brought a man into our house. That's why my sister-in-law committed suicide!"
"You still have the nerve to say that your daughter is dead, and we still want to find you to pay back our sister-in-law!"
Duan Minghua looked at Hu Jizhong and his wife who were speechless and admired this younger brother and sister.
Gu Fulan shouted at the top of his lungs, "That's right, you give me back my daughter-in-law! If it weren't for you, my daughter-in-law wouldn't have died!"
"How can a daughter-in-law be as close as a daughter? My daughter is a piece of flesh that has fallen off my body and is my heart. How could I harm her!"
"Whether it's harmful or not, you know in your heart," Lu Yao stared at the two of them, "Perhaps, you can wait until a hundred years later to go underground and talk to my sister-in-law!"
"How are you talking!"
Lu Yao retorted, "You have come to our house to cause trouble, and you still want me to talk to you in a nice voice. Is there such a thing in the world?"
Hu Jizhong and his wife were extremely angry. They were here to cause trouble, and they would never give up just because of Lu Yao's few words.
Hu Jizhong's wife sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Zheng Weiguo was extremely upset, "Duan Mingjie, call the police!"
