Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 14 This Child Has a Hard Time
The Jiang family finally split up in front of Wang Chunmei's funeral hall.
Jiang Lesheng got a house, two acres of paddy fields, and two thousand yuan left to him by his brother.
All of Wang Chunmei's belongings were left in that house.
The villagers highly praised Hu Qiongfang for her virtue and kindness.
Everyone knows that Jiang Leping and his wife have been the ones earning money to support the family over the years. She decided to give the two thousand yuan to Jiang Lesheng, saying that it was for Jiang Lesheng's schooling, but the Jiang family has three children in school, so it must have been saved for the three children to use together.
I didn’t expect Hu Qiongfang to give it all to her brother-in-law!
As for the ten thousand yuan in compensation from the coal mine?
The compensation was originally intended to be given to the family of the deceased, mainly Hu Qiongfang and her two children, but I have never heard of that compensation should be given to the younger brother just because the eldest brother died.
Not giving any of it to Jiang Lesheng would be good for him.
Even if Hu Qiongfang gave it to him, Jiang Lesheng wouldn't dare to accept it now.
If he takes this money, his reputation in this area will be completely ruined.
Although he really wanted the money.
But his original plan was to deposit the money into his own account in the name of "temporary safekeeping for nephews and nieces."
Then, after the hype has passed, find a way to make the money your own.
But now, Hu Qiongfang has put the money out in the open.
Everyone knows that the ten thousand yuan was the money given by the coal mine owner to the Jiang family to raise the two orphans. If he really took it, it would be a big trouble!
These days, whether you are joining the party or joining a unit, you have to go through a political review. Usually, they send a letter or make a phone call and ask the village to issue a certificate. If they just stamp it, it's fine. But the most feared thing is that the unit calls, or someone finds out about his situation and writes a letter of complaint to the organization, reporting him for "lack of personal morality." In that case, his future is completely over.
Jiang Lesheng is an ambitious man.
The bigger your ambition and the more you want, the less you dare to leave any handle on such matters.
But even so, after taking the two thousand yuan from Hu Qiongfang, his reputation in the village gradually deteriorated.
Because, after the funeral of her mother-in-law and husband, Jiang Leping's eldest daughter, Jiang Tian, dropped out of school and returned home to farm.
No matter how the villagers tried to inquire, Hu Qiongfang refused to speak, not to mention saying a bad word about her brother-in-law.
Jiang Tian is even worse.
The villagers asked her if her mother made her drop out of school because her family could not afford to send her and her brother to school.
Jiang Tian shook her head frantically, saying that she felt her grades were too bad and it would be a waste of money to go to school any further, so she might as well come back early to help her mother with work.
There were also some people who liked to watch the fun and asked her whether her second uncle had helped them after the family split up.
Jiang Tian hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and shook her head, but the words she said made people feel sad.
"My mom said that it's not easy for my second uncle either, so she told us not to cause him any trouble."
Listen!
What a sensible child.
As if Jiang Lesheng's reputation was not bad enough, the day after he dropped out of school, Jiang Tian rolled up his trouser legs, picked up hundreds of eel fishing rods, and went to the fields and ditches to fish for eels.
"What a sin! This Jiang Lesheng! He looked like a decent person before, but I didn't expect him to be such a ruthless and evil person!"
"That's right! What girl doesn't want to sit in the classroom and study? I think Tiantian feels sorry for her mother who has to support the family alone. It's too hard, so... Hey! It's not easy for this child!"
"Tiantian, go fishing first, and then come to your aunt's house to have a bowl of mung bean soup."
For a time, the status of Hu Qiongfang and her two sons in the village rose sharply.
There is still nearly a month before the rice harvest, and everyone’s rice fields will start to release water. After the water is released, it will not be as easy to catch eels as it is now.
Jiang Tian and Hu Qiongfang have become very busy recently, making hundreds of fishing rods every day.
Jiang Tian now has some doubts as to whether her mother was also reborn like her.
Otherwise, how could he suddenly become like a different person?
But she had no evidence and did not dare to test it casually, so she could only continue to observe secretly.
Hu Qiongfang was not reborn, she just had a nightmare.
In the dream, the mother-in-law was not trampled to death by the pigs she raised, but her husband still died in the mine.
After her husband died, her mother-in-law took away the child support that the mine gave her two children, saying it was to save for them, but Hu Qiongfang never saw the money again until her death.
In her dream, she "saw" her son Jiang Cheng, who was tricked by his brother-in-law into a car and was taken to a dark brick kiln, where he worked day and night.
His arm was broken, but they didn't even give him any treatment. They just left him in a dark room to fend for himself.
In her dream, she "saw" her once smart and lively son being tortured into a fool, and finally, being pushed into the manure pit in the backyard and drowned by the beast Jiang Lesheng...
Hu Qiongfang thought she had just had an absurd nightmare, but unexpectedly, after waking up, she heard Jiang Lesheng coaxing Tiantian to give her husband's compensation to him for safekeeping.
At that moment, Hu Qiongfang's head buzzed.
She thought she might actually be crazy.
She actually felt that what happened just now was not a nightmare, but her husband was worried about her and her son, so he came to her in a dream...
Hu Qiongfang doesn't like this brother-in-law at all.
Everyone in the village praised Jiang Lesheng for how gentle, polite, smart and promising he was .
But for some reason, every time she saw Jiang Lesheng's eyes, which were clearly smiling, Hu Qiongfang always felt her hair stand on end.
It's like suddenly encountering a snake in the vegetable garden.
Hu Qiongfang is very afraid of snakes, and she is even more afraid that this poisonous snake will hurt her children.
So, at that moment, she burst out with the greatest courage and wisdom of her life and decided to follow her husband's "last wish".
Since her husband told him Jiang Lesheng’s true identity in a dream, this person must not stay in their home anymore!
When Hu Qiongfang thought of what her son Jiang Cheng had experienced in the dream, she wished she could bite Jiang Lesheng to death.
However, after the successful division of the family business, Hu Qiongfang felt relieved and couldn't help feeling confused again.
It's easy to split up the family, but after that, she will be alone as a woman, having to live with her two children.
Unexpectedly, on the third day after the separation, after the funeral of her mother-in-law and husband, Jiang Lesheng hurried back to school, and her daughter Jiang Tian suddenly told her that she didn't want to go to school anymore and wanted to go home to farm for a year.
Hu Qiongfang mistakenly thought that her daughter was worried about her and couldn't bear to see her alone working on the farm and doing housework, so she hugged her daughter and burst into tears.
After crying and wiping away tears, I heard my daughter say embarrassedly -
She wanted to take a year off from school because she really wanted to help out at home.
But the most important reasons are:
Algebra is too difficult, she can't learn it o(╥﹏╥)o
