Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 128 This family is the reincarnation of the abacus spirit
What you fear will come true. He Chunling said she was going to school, but it was almost dark and she still hadn't come back. He's father ran to the town to look for her, only to find out that his daughter had gone to the school to apply for a leave of absence and went out to work to earn tuition fees.
The head teacher was still angry at He's father.
The first year of junior high school is the time to lay the foundation. He Chunling has excellent entrance scores and has a good chance of being admitted to a technical secondary school. If her family works hard for a few years, they can support a technical secondary school student. When she graduates, she will have a stable job and be a public servant, and the whole family will benefit from it.
Mr. He is so good that he is willing to sacrifice his own daughter's future for his younger brother to get married. Is this something a father can do?
The head teacher still hoped that He's father would stop in time, so he gave him a severe scolding and also tempted them with the hope that He Chunling would be admitted to a technical secondary school, hoping that they could quickly find He Chunling and let her continue to go to school.
Father He is an honest farmer who only knows how to be filial to his parents and be friendly to his brothers. When she went home and told her family what her daughter's class teacher said, Grandma He's cloudy old eyes brightened.
"Did the head teacher really say that? Does our Chunling have a chance to be admitted to a technical secondary school?"
He Chunling's uncle He Zhifang complained impatiently: "That would require supporting her for another two and a half years. Where would our family get so much money? Besides, if all the money is used for Chunling's schooling, how can I get a wife?"
Mrs. He glared at her youngest son and said, "You know nothing! If Chunling can really get into a technical secondary school, what's wrong with you getting married two years later?"
"Let Chunling go to school first! When she is in the third year of junior high school, you can also go to the town middle school to repeat a year."
"When you take the high school entrance exam, ask Chunling to write your name on the test paper and get you into a technical secondary school!"
"When you become a technical secondary school student, you will be a cadre after graduation. By then, you can choose any girl in the town, not to mention our village."
He Zhifang jumped up immediately: "Mom, you are right! Ask Chunling to help me with the exam. If I can go to a technical secondary school, will I still look for a partner in the countryside? When I enter a public institution, I will definitely find a city girl!"
He Zhifang's eldest brother, He Chunling's father He Zhiyong, looked at his mother, then at his brother, opened his mouth, and could not utter a word.
Although this did indeed put Chunling in a difficult position, Chunling's academic performance was so good that she gave up her place in the technical secondary school to her uncle in the first year, and she could continue to repeat the year and take the technical secondary school exam again.
In this way, the family can have two technical secondary school students... His mother is worthy of her reputation, her brain is much more flexible than his.
In this way, he won't have to bear the pressure of getting his daughter married so early, and she can continue to go to school.
The whole family doesn’t have to tighten their belts to save money for my younger brother to get married.
Why didn't he think of such a good idea?
The mother and her two sons became happier and happier as they thought about it, and decided to find the dead girl He Chunling as soon as possible.
If the little girl wants to go to school, let her go. As long as she can help her uncle get into a technical secondary school, Mrs. He is willing to spend any amount of money.
None of the three noticed that in the corner, the eldest daughter-in-law Yao Huifen, who had been sewing shoe soles with her head down, was shaking violently with her right hand holding the screwdriver.
She really wanted to stab the old woman to death with a screwdriver.
And there's that man who only sees his mother and brother in his eyes.
And there is He Zhifang, a beast who is worse than pigs and dogs!
Why should she let her daughter get married and use the betrothal money to help He Zhifang get married?
Why should she let her daughter help He Zhifang get into technical secondary school?
It is so difficult to get into a technical secondary school. I heard that if you pass, you can join a unit and become a cadre after graduation. If Chunling can get into a technical secondary school, she will be a female cadre in the future. Who dares to marry her off casually?
Yao Huifen lowered her head tightly, the anger in her eyes almost burned two holes in the sole of the shoe in her hand.
As a mother, she was incompetent and could not protect her daughter. When He Chunling ran away from home, she secretly took the pocket money she had saved from under the box. Yao Huifen saw it, but she said nothing.
I also deliberately asked my mother-in-law if I could shovel the cow dung in the cowshed.
She knew that her mother-in-law always liked to be lazy. Sure enough, when she said that, Mrs. He immediately took the basket and said that she was going to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden, leaving her to shovel the cow dung herself.
Yao Huifen hid in the cowshed and shoveled slowly for half an hour. When she came out, Chunling was gone.
I felt under the box that brought her dowry and found the change rolled up in her old school uniform, and sure enough, it was gone.
Yao Huifen felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but she couldn't help feeling happy.
It's great that Chunling has had her own ideas since she was young. Unlike her, she has no skills, no education, and is very timid. She can only spend her whole life around the stove...
Yao Huifen naively thought that as long as her daughter ran away, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law would not be able to plot against her in the future.
But she underestimated the evil of human nature.
Some people want to hold their loved ones in their hands and regard them as more precious than their own eyes.
Some people, however, would like to throw their loved ones into the frying pan and squeeze out every last drop of oil.
no!
We can’t let that damn old woman snatch Chunling’s place in technical secondary school!
At this moment, Yao Huifen suddenly didn't want to endure it any longer.
…
He Chunling thought that her family would find her sooner or later, but she didn't expect that the first person to find her would be her mother.
"Mom, why are you here?" He Chunling pulled Yao Huifen to the backyard of the hotel with a bad expression.
Several thick piles of firewood blocked out the sounds of people coming and going in the restaurant. Yao Huifen looked at her daughter greedily a few times to make sure that she was not hungry outside. Then she quickly told her daughter what her mother-in-law and brother-in-law were planning.
"Your father and uncle will come looking for you sooner or later, and they will definitely coax you back home then."
"Your uncle wants you to take the exam for him, Lingling, don't listen to them!"
"If you have the ability to get into a technical secondary school, I will do anything for you. I am not afraid even if your dad beats me. I am not afraid of death as long as you and your brother can have a promising future..."
As Yao Huifen spoke, tears began to flow and she held her daughter's hand tightly.
Then, he took out a roll of warm paper money from a pocket sewn in his waistband and stuffed it into his daughter's hand.
"Take this money, listen to mom, and don't go home!"
"Lingling, you must study hard. When you are admitted to a technical secondary school, you will be assigned a job after graduation. Then no one can force you to get married."
He Chunling was shocked and looked at the woman with messy hair in front of her in disbelief.
Is this still her cowardly and indecisive mother?
He Chunling ran away from home alone without even telling her biological mother, because she knew it would be useless even if she told Yao Huifen.
Other people's mothers, no matter how aggressive or shrewd they are, even if they are mean to outsiders, will be very good to their own children.
However, in He Chunling's memory, Yao Huifen was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Her grandma asked her dad for money, knowing that the money was supposed to be used to pay for her and her brother's textbooks. But her mom didn't say a word and let her grandma take the money and secretly gave it to her uncle...
From childhood to adulthood, repeated disappointments have made her no longer have any illusions about her mother.
But now…
She seemed to get to know her mother again for the first time.
